Chapter 201 Chapter 146 Chess Game Part 3
"What did you find out?"
"To reply to your Excellency, there is nothing unusual, and our spies didn't hear anything."
The kneeling man didn't dare to raise his head. He couldn't quite guess what his master meant, nor did he dare to try.
The teacup made a short and crisp sound when it hit the tray. The atmosphere was a little stagnant. The host never showed his emotions, so he buried his head even deeper.
“Nothing abnormal is the biggest abnormality.”
His Majesty Brick's favorite concubine, Ryuka Sumimi, is famous for her love of going out. Whether it is a tea party or a movie or other entertainment activities, she will definitely go as long as she has time.
Atash didn't care at first, but the spies came to report the day before yesterday that Liuhua Chenghai went to the afternoon tea hosted by the ladies at the St. Snow Hotel, but they didn't actually see Liuhua Chenghai.
So out of caution, Atash sent people to follow Liuhua Chenghai.
Today, Liuhua Chenghai went to the St. Snow Hotel again because the St. Snow Hotel invited her to taste the new autumn products.
"Oh, useless stuff."
The young man sitting in the main seat of Atash cursed coldly.
"It's not their fault. Liuhua Chenghai has always been smarter and more cautious than we thought."
Atash was not panicked at all. He was being cautious, but that didn't mean he really took the person to heart.
"Go check who has been in and out of the St. Snow Hotel in the past three days. I want the complete list. Go ahead."
The kneeling man felt that he was saved, nodded calmly, and left this depressing place.
"Sir, are you worried that Princess Liuhua will target us?"
The second prince Stuart never took Liuhua Chenghai seriously.
When the eldest prince Casas and herself were competing for her support, Liuhua Chenghai very wisely chose to protect herself and did not agree to the invitation of either side.
Although he was very unhappy about Ryuka Shokai's indifference to him, people are more worried about inequality than scarcity. As long as Casas failed, it would be considered as his success.
"It's not to the extent of 'targeting'. Does the Second Prince believe what the Royal Highness says? She is unwilling to interfere in anything. Everything is based on His Majesty Brick."
Atash laughed so deeply that even Stuart couldn't quite understand what he meant.
"At least that's how she appears to be," Stuart explained.
Yes, Liuhua Chenghai maintained a neutral stance in any situation, and after raising the third prince, he also let him keep a low profile in various places.
So the eldest prince and the second prince did not take them seriously.
"Yes, Your Highness is right, so I only sent people to investigate out of caution. Now is the critical moment to call back Prince Gus, and any uncertain factors cannot be overlooked."
Stuart nodded, "Sir, that's right. I'll leave this matter to you."
He didn't think that Ryuka Chenghai would do something bad at this time. If she had to, she wouldn't have remained silent until today.
Besides, that idiot Casas didn't know how to please an elegant lady at all. He felt that he should be liked more by Ryuka Chenghai than the eldest prince.
Everything revolves around my father, so I should like him just like my father does.
After seeing Stuart off, the gentle and kind smile on Atash's face faded. Although he never considered himself as the Second Prince's elder, the Second Prince still called him "Sir".
"If there is news, have someone report it immediately."
"Yes, sir."
——
The St. Snow Hotel is a royal property of Belavina, but the conflicts of interest within it are probably more complicated than those in the court.
After all, not everyone can stand in that position, but everyone can find a way to get involved in the interests of the St. Snow Hotel.
The subordinates sent out by Atash complained a lot.
With a big mouth above and running around below, it is obvious that to play games here, strong power and a deep background are both indispensable.
"I'm really sorry, I know your parents need it for various reasons, but we also have to protect the privacy of our guests..."
Thirty-one certainly cannot reveal that the person who wants to know this news is Minister Atash, and his own rank is not high enough, so the person in charge will certainly not reveal the guest's information casually.
If he offends both sides...it won't be easy for him.
But Thirty-one did not expect to get it easily, he came to confirm the person in charge himself.
"So you actually know?"
The person in charge felt that something was wrong, so he stood up and said, "This is a big hotel! What do you want to do... Wuwu——!"
Before he could finish his words, he was grabbed by Thirty-One and lost consciousness in an instant.
It seemed that the voice of the person in charge just now startled the people outside, and someone knocked on the door immediately. Sanshiyi carried the person in charge, broke the glass and jumped down.
Thirty-one is Atash's loyal soldier. He must carry out his master's orders and will use any means to achieve this.
Of course, all the consequences were borne by him and his team, and no matter what happened, it had nothing to do with Atash.
The big hotel behind them immediately fell into chaos. The person in charge was naturally of higher rank than an ordinary waiter. People in the hotel reported it immediately, but they were unable to rescue the person in charge immediately.
These people who are good at playing both sides are greedy and afraid of death. Thirty-one is not afraid that he will not speak.
After one night, the hotel staff finally found the person in charge, but he had already died, with wounds all over his body from torture.
"What should I do...?"
This was undoubtedly directed at them, and even at the people behind them. The adults would definitely be very angry.
Now we can only pray that those in charge will be stricter and that we would rather die than surrender.
But they all knew that this was almost impossible...
"To be honest, this period of time is probably not easy."
The investigator looked solemn as he asked someone to take the body of the person in charge away.
So, who is the real owner of the St. Snow Hotel?
"Dead? Not surprising."
Liuhua Chenghai, dressed in a relaxed manner, was admiring the flowers. When he heard the servant's hurried report, he was not at all panicked.
"Then... Madam, His Majesty..."
"Tell me the truth."
Having been bullied to the extreme, shouldn't she file a complaint and ask His Majesty to help her?
It was obvious that old man Atash couldn't wait any longer, although she had no evidence to prove that he was the one who did it.
Person in charge? It was just a cover. The St. Snow Hotel kept records of who came in and who left. How could a basic person in charge remember it so clearly?
Liuhua Chenghai thought of the loss she suffered at the hands of Atash ten years ago and couldn't help but chuckle.
Unconsciously, she also learned the old man's methods and grew up.
"His Majesty is here, my lady."
Liuhua Chenghai immediately changed the expression on his face to one of anger and resentment, as well as a hint of grievance that was barely perceptible.
"Your Majesty, you are finally here."
It doesn't matter if there is no evidence, she will make up rumors.
In this round, she definitely had the upper hand.
——
The eldest prince likes powerful people with special powers and often holds "martial arts tournaments" in his own mansion.
The winner can often get his favor, and maybe even be promoted to a higher position, so many people with special abilities who pursue fame and fortune will choose to come here to fight.
But it's easier said than done, and the process is quite long.
First of all, one needs to be selected and win in all aspects to have the opportunity to enter the eldest prince's palace for a competition. This process can take two or three months at the shortest and a year at the longest.
But Pomo did not need to enter this selection stage and directly obtained the qualification for the competition two days later.
Because he is the champion of the Lanster School of Supernatural Powers, this identity carries weight in the eyes of anyone, anywhere.
When the eldest prince heard that the Champion of Hundred Battles wanted to participate in his martial arts tournament, the gloomy mood of the past few days seemed to disappear in an instant. He quickly canceled the day's affairs and decided to meet Pomo in person.
Puis did not follow because his identity was somewhat sensitive. If he took this opportunity to establish a relationship with the eldest prince Casas, it would definitely be widely publicized by those with ulterior motives, and might even be linked to the Pu family in Shennan wanting to return to Saint Snow.
After all, the eldest prince Casas is the regent on paper. If he supports Casas, his chances of winning will be even greater.
Although this is what his father wanted.
When Pomeranz heard Puis say he was not going, he felt like the sky was falling.
He didn't know what kind of temper His Highness Casas had, he only knew that his "emotional intelligence" in politics was not high.
Puies told him to just remember what not to say and be honest.
"Although the eldest prince is not a very...intelligent person, he has a straightforward personality and is very kind to powerful esper."
He felt that Pomeranian and Casas got along well, and if there were no royal factors involved, Casas might be a friend worth making friends with.
There are no ifs.
"Okay, I understand." Although Pomo was a little nervous, he was not afraid.
He has never been the one walking on thin ice, so how could he back down without even trying?
Although he was mentally prepared, Pomo still felt his heart beating faster when he saw Casas.
Casas didn't notice anything and walked over briskly with a smile on his face.
"Pomo! I still watch that wonderful game from time to time to this day and I never thought we would meet again today!"
The eldest prince was tall, over 1.9 meters and approaching 2 meters, but Stuart always described him as a "big fool", so Casas was not proud of it, and even felt "inferior" for a long time when he was young.
He came to Pomo's side and clapped his hands several times. The sound sounded heavy.
But Pomo's expression didn't change at all, he was still smiling.
"Your Highness, it is my honor to meet you."
Obviously, Casas had great goodwill and interest in Pomo, so he became tolerant.
"Just call me Casas in private. Stay for dinner tonight and tell me about the Crown of a Hundred Battles and what's happened in recent years."
With just this one move, he made the final decision and kept Pomo.
This is exactly what they expected.
"His Highness Casas has said so, but I am disrespectful."
Bo Mo's smile became even brighter.
