Chapter 187 "The Clean Person" Roxelle Colin

The procedure for transferring the hotel was completed quickly.

After all, this is not the modern world, and the level of sloppiness is comparable to that of the Earth in the 19th century.

William Creech, president of the Port District Bank, came personally with several employees, completed the counting of the pile of gold coins, then packed them into boxes and moved them to the carriage parked downstairs, and finally witnessed the two men signing their respective contracts.

After being the president for ten years, this was the first time he had seen such a lavish client, carrying 50,000 gold coins in cash! What amazed him even more was that the gold content of this batch of gold coins was even higher than the gold content of the latest batch of gold coins issued by the Imperial Central Bank! If it weren't for the shiny luster that didn't look like it had been baptized by time, he couldn't help but suspect that this was a gold coin issued during the reign of King Custer two hundred years ago.

However, after seeing the storage ring on Mr. Colin's hand, he quickly realized that the person in front of him might come from a family with hundreds of years of history.

"Dear sir, I am very happy to serve you. I am William Creech, the president of the Port District Bank. Our bank has a history of more than 200 years. Although our history cannot be compared with the long history of your family, our reputation is first-class in the entire Thunder City... If you need anything, just ask the servant to give me a message. I will be there at your call."

At the very end, William bowed deeply and handed over his business card with both hands.

Luo Yan gave Sarah a look, and the latter understood and took the business card, then returned to his side.

Looking at the respectful president, Luo Yan said casually.

"I will if you need me to."

"Then I won't disturb your rest. I wish you a happy life." William respectfully performed an imperial court etiquette, then shook hands with Mr. Andor beside him, and then turned and left.

Touching the gold-rimmed bank card in his hand, Andorra's face turned as red as a burning fire, and his oily nose looked like it had been waxed.

Luo Yan glanced at him and saw that he was rubbing his hands as if he wanted to say something, so he spoke casually.

"Anything else?"

Andorra said quickly.

"No! Sir, I won't disturb your rest. I wish you a pleasant night... In addition, I solemnly recommend my daughter Lucy Baker to you. She has worked under me for two and a half years and is even more proficient in the hotel business than I am. I believe that with her help, you will be able to familiarize yourself with the business of this hotel in the shortest time. Of course, if you trust her, I believe that with her ability, she will definitely become your right-hand man!"

Just as Andorra said this, the girl standing next to him shyly gave Luo Yan a friendly smile and spoke with amorous eyes.

"My name is Lucy Baker, nice to meet you..."

She was wearing a light blue evening gown, with her golden brown curly hair falling naturally on her shoulders. Her waist was tied so tightly that almost all the fat on her belly was moved to the deep ravine.

Unfortunately, the aloof Mr. Colin was not interested in either her or the business of the hotel, and had no desire to explore further.

"No need for that. I will start over with your business."

"Of course, it's your freedom..." Andor looked at him in surprise, but still with a flattering smile on his face.

After saying that, he bowed deeply, gave his daughter a look that said "you can do it yourself", and then left with the bank card.

Lucy didn't expect to be rejected so thoroughly. A look of loss appeared on her face. She wanted to say something else, but when she saw the guard next to the gentleman, her throat suddenly felt like ice and she couldn't utter a word.

The bone-deep cold made her feel like she was being stared at by a wild animal, as if her life would be in danger if she stayed there for one more second.

Her face turned slightly pale, and under Andorra's surprised gaze, she staggered to catch up with him and left with him.

Looking at the fleeing humans, Sarah's lips curled up into a barely perceptible smile, and the contempt in her eyes became even more obvious.

Is such a weak human creature worthy of being the devil's right-hand man?

How arrogant!

Luo Yan glanced at Sarah.

Sarah, who had been inflated for less than two seconds, quickly restrained her aura and looked away as if nothing had happened.

However, she was still worried that she would get into trouble.

Seeing no sound for a long time, she couldn't help but quietly move her gaze back and secretly observe the expression on the Demon King's face.

That stealthy look was like the silver tabby cat pushing the water cup to the ground and then quietly observing the owner's reaction.

Luo Yan was almost amused by her, but he still maintained the dignity of the devil and spoke with a stern face.

“Don’t do anything extra.”

Sarah lowered her head as if she knew she was wrong and spoke in a low voice.

"yes……"

…

After sitting anxiously in the clothing store for more than an hour, Punk finally escaped from the clutches of the tailor and the senior tailor.

However, the painful and joyful torture did not end there, as he was soon taken to the hotel's workshop by the Morning Embrace waiter and changed into a spare waiter uniform.

The tight lines made him feel uncomfortable all over, and his legs seemed to be stuffed into a wooden splint and tied tightly.

Although the comfort level was questionable, it was surprisingly warm to wear, and even made his back sweat in the winter.

Led by the waiter, he came to the luxurious suite on the sixth floor of the hotel and finally met the gentleman who brought him into this wonderful world.

At this moment, the gentleman was sitting in front of a triangular round wooden table, reading a book quietly. The mysterious guard in a cloak was still standing beside him, like his shadow.

Punk glanced around quietly and was surprised to find that all the furniture had been moved out.

Apart from the fireplace and floor that could not be removed, there was only a walnut table and chairs left. It was so deserted that it didn't look like a place where people could live.

Time passed minute by minute, and the old man didn't say a word, as if he was training his ability to keep his mouth shut.

Just when Punk was about to lose control, the distinguished Mr. Colin finally spoke.

"Do you have a wife and children?"

Punk was slightly stunned and answered subconsciously.

"No, sir, I am——"

"You just need to answer the questions I ask you," Luo Yan interrupted him and continued in a commanding tone, "Since there is none, you will live here from today on."

"Sir, I, I can't afford to stay in such an expensive hotel..." Punk looked terrified.

What he actually wanted to say was that instead of letting him sleep here, it would be better to give him a discount on the room fee, and he could even sleep on the floor in the snow outside! "It's my hotel," Luo Yan flipped a page of the book and continued casually, "I have already bought this place. Also, when I don't ask for your opinion, you only need to answer yes or no."

Punk's eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't speak for a long time until the waiter next to him pulled his arm, which woke him up.

"yes……"

Luo Yan nodded approvingly.

"very good."

Punk breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little secretly happy in his heart. It turned out that serving big shots was so simple.

In comparison, his previous boss was more difficult to serve. Not only was he difficult to serve, he also often withheld his wages.

He even had an extravagant thought in his mind, that it would be great if he could serve this honorable lord forever.

Of course, he also knows that it depends on his performance.

"The respected Mr. Colin needs to rest. I will take you to your room." Not missing any opportunity to please the gentleman, the waiter standing at the door said in a tone.

"Okay." Punk nodded quickly and followed him downstairs obediently.

Although the distinguished Mr. Colin allowed him to stay wherever he wanted, he certainly didn't dare to be so ungrateful as to pick the expensive rooms, and hurriedly asked the waiter next to him to find him a place for the servants to stay.

However, the waiter ignored him and did not really take him to the servants' room. Instead, he took him to the guest room on the first floor.

Staying here will not disturb other guests nor will it seem beneath your status.

Although Mr. Colin did not specify where to take this guy, he was a smart man after all. He would take the initiative to figure out his boss's intentions and ensure that things were done beautifully.

In addition to arranging accommodation, Mr. Colin also instructed him to teach the coachman the etiquette of upper class society as soon as possible.

Although he didn't know what the gentleman was planning, since it was the gentleman's order, he would complete it without any compromise.

He believed that under his training, even a stupid donkey could learn the correct handshake posture and how to hold back burps while eating.

He would do anything to impress that gentleman!

Feeling the aura emanating from the waiter beside him, Punk shrank his neck timidly, feeling that he was involved in something big.

But it doesn't seem like this is any loss to him?

At this time, he noticed that the hotel staff were carrying large mattresses and quilts outside and throwing them all into the snow.

Looking at this scene in surprise, Punk asked subconsciously.

"What is that doing?!"

The waiter glanced at the tactless fellow.

"Mr. Colin doesn't like to use things that have been used by others. He requires that everything in his room is the latest."

Punk swallowed and asked quietly.

“That mattress… isn’t cheap, is it?”

Mattress?

It's more than just a mattress! The waiter said with a laugh.

"Every mattress in the Morning's Embrace luxury suite is velvet. Ours is the same as the one in Campbell Palace."

Punk's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he wanted to rush out, pick up the thing, put it on his carriage and bring it back to his nest.

What a waste!

However, the waiter standing next to him obviously did not intend to let him go and forcibly pulled him aside from the window in the corridor.

This useless guy!

There is a gold mine next to you, but you are still staring at a mattress! You can't even seize the opportunity, you deserve to be poor!

Although he was indeed a poor man, he believed that with his intelligence and talent, he would be able to seize the opportunity to win Mr. Colin's favor and soar to the sky! He was not the only one who thought so. Everyone in the hotel thought so. Even the kitchen helpers were eager to seize the opportunity to show off.

Under Mr. Colin's gaze, they almost started a quarrel over who would take out the trash, and even the other guests in the hotel noticed the commotion.

As the furniture was thrown out in waves, it didn’t take long for people to gather at the hotel entrance to watch the fun.

They looked at the scene curiously, talked among themselves, and some even went up to find out what was going on.

It was at this time that they learned the name of Roxie Colin.

The master with mysophobia was a great nobleman from the Ottoman Empire. He never used things that had been used by others, so he asked the servants to throw out all the furniture.

Seeing that these were all good stuff, some people couldn't help but go up to pick them up. When they saw that the hotel waiters didn't react, they all rushed up to take the things home.

Some respectable citizens were too embarrassed to reach out, and when they came to their senses, there was not even a teacup to pick up.

But soon they got a new opportunity.

Because the furniture was moved out in waves, it was not thrown out all at once, but was thrown out in several times.

At first, several tables were moved out together, and later they would just throw in a teacup or a walnut tray at a time.

But even if it is a teacup, it is made of top-grade precious porcelain. Most people have never touched it, let alone even seen it!

In this way, a group of people stood in the cold wind waiting to be "fed", so that this farce lasted for a whole night, and the people who were curious about the whole Queen Street knew that a big shot had come to the Morning Embrace Hotel...

The next morning.

The last of the things that had been eliminated by Mr. Roxell were thrown out of the hotel.

According to the hotel staff, this is the last batch.

The porters working at the nearby dock and the vegetable vendors at the nearby market happily carried large and small bags of goods back home.

Saint Sith! That's a velvet pillow! In Thunder City, sleeping on a mattress filled with pea shells, duck feathers, or straw is considered a "decent person."

If it weren't for this rich old man being crazy and throwing these things out, they wouldn't have known that the beds these wealthy people sleep in are so comfortable!

Those who got something were delighted, while those who didn't get anything or didn't bother to pick it up were beating their chests and stamping their feet, regretting that they learned the news too late.

Some well-dressed citizens stood on the side of the road, watching those unsophisticated guys whispering to each other.

"Blankets woven from pure-blooded Tro wool, quilts made from velvet... Holy Sicis, who on earth would have thrown away all these good things?!"

A man in a light grey wool coat said in surprise, but his colleague next to him covered his mouth as soon as he finished speaking.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Shh! Don't gossip! If someone hears it, it will affect the reputation of Leiming Savings!" His colleague looked around nervously and only let go of their hand when he found that no one noticed them.

The two men were employees of a nearby bank. They came out to have a cup of hot tea during their lunch break and happened to see this scene.

Although he also felt that people who did this were wasteful, he didn't want to offend some rich and powerful guy for no reason because of a word.

This kind of thing has happened before!

The man with his mouth covered rolled his eyes and muttered "psycho".

Although there have indeed been cases of "trouble coming from the mouth" in the past, the total savings of the person who caused the trouble were less than 100 gold coins.

Based on his understanding of these truly wealthy people, he knew that such a gentleman would not take what he said to heart at all.

The citizens of Thunder City have completely different ideas about wealthy families.

Listening to the conversation between the two, another man wearing a dark brown wool coat and a short bowler hat on his head stroked his chin and spoke.

"I've heard of that gentleman. I heard he's a noble from the Empire. His name seems to be... Roxel Colin?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a man with a teacup in his hand and neatly combed hair immediately interrupted him impatiently.

"Yes! That's the name! My disappointing brother works in the kitchen of the Morning Embrace Hotel. I also heard him say that it was the first time he had seen such a handsome man. His boss Andor looked like a Goblin Chieftain standing next to that man!"

"That guy in Andorra must be having a blast. The rich people in this city will trample the door of his hotel." A citizen wearing a dark blue woolen coat said enviously.

He is the manager of a hotel nearby, but it is not the kind of hotel where you can stay. Instead, it is the kind that sells red wine, and the storefront is only 50 square meters.

Although he is not a rich man, he understands the nature of rich people too well because he often deals with wealthy people.

Red wine of the same vintage produced from the Imperial Winery would be more expensive than that from the Kingdom of Ryan, even though he, as a professional, believed that the plain south of the Silverpine Forest was the most suitable place for growing wine grapes.

The wine made from the grapes grown there has a unique aroma of chestnut and blackberry, and tastes even better when fermented in pinewood barrels from Silver Pine Forest!

It is said that even the little demons in the maze love it very much.

However, there is nothing that can be done about it. Consumers are not buying it. The wealthy people in Thunder City would rather drink the "chili water" brewed by Empire Potatoes.

In the world of fame and fortune in Thunder City, the nobility of the empire and the royal family of the Principality of Campbell belong to the same ecological niche, and depending on the difference in financial strength, the former is sometimes slightly stronger than the latter.

"He is really happy. I heard that the distinguished Mr. Colin bought his hotel directly," said the man holding the teacup enviously.

“Bought it?!” The wine merchant widened his eyes, looking incredulous.

Who would buy a hotel if they stayed there?!

No--

It's not impossible.

After all, that was Mr. Colin, the "clean man".

At this time, the bank clerk next to him nodded, confirming the rumor.

"I've heard about this, too. It's said to be 50,000 gold coins! At that time, the president of the Hong Kong District Bank went to the hotel in person to help them with the business... The money is now in the Hong Kong District Bank."

"Fifty thousand gold coins..." Everyone took a breath of cold air, with only admiration in their eyes and full of respect in their hearts.

Sure enough, they could not even imagine the extravagance of the upper class, and just a glimpse of it was enough to amaze them.

After listening to the bosses talking for a long time, the watch shop apprentice who had been silent finally got the chance to interrupt and sighed.

"Why buy a hotel with so much money? If I put it in the bank and earn the interest, I can live a carefree life for the rest of my life..."

No one paid any attention to him.

Because this sentence is really stupid.

joke.

Is that gentleman the one who deposits his money in the bank and earns interest?

Everyone was speculating about his intentions. Some said that he had his eyes on the trade volume of the Thunder City Port, others said that he had his eyes on a certain industry of the Andes family, and still others speculated that the political turmoil in the empire had caused some large families to begin expanding their influence outward.

But no matter what, it's a good thing for them.

The nobles of the empire have finally noticed this pearl on the northeast coast! Perhaps the housing prices in Leiming City will rise again...

…

Early morning.

At the window of the luxury suite at the Morning Embrace Hotel, Sarah, standing next to the curtains, looked at the street outside again.

She stood guard all night yesterday and only closed her eyes for a short rest. However, she looked so energetic that she didn't look like she had been up all night.

This is the benefit of having hell bloodline.

The vast majority of demons and demons with demon blood do not need to sleep physiologically, although they can sleep for a long time if they want to.

As for Luo Yan, he usually uses meditation instead of sleeping.

For example, last night.

Since all the furniture in the room had been moved out, he sat in the chair all night.

Fortunately, he can read the posts on the forum while meditating, and he won't be bored watching a group of stupid players doing all kinds of things and dying in his territory.

"...I understand how you feel, but your suspicious look makes us look like spies." Looking at Sarah who couldn't help looking out the window, Luo Yan opened his eyes and ended his meditation state and spoke in a chatty tone.

Looking away from the window, Sarah turned around.

"I'm just worried..."

"Eileen Campbell will come here, but she won't be carrying a sword," Luo Yan said casually, "Let me guess, she will be wearing a water blue dress and she will have ribbons tied in her hair."

"How do you know?" Sarah looked at him in surprise.

"I was just talking nonsense." Luo Yan didn't know why he had such an intuition. After thinking for a moment, he realized that he might be thinking of Vivian.

The two should be about the same age, and their ecological niches are also very similar. Both are daughters of the Grand Duke of the Duchy, and both seem to be very strong-willed.

certainly.

His father, Roxie Colin, is still alive.

Moreover, the Duchy of Colin is much larger than the Duchy of Campbell, and its importance to Hell is far greater than that of the Duchy of Campbell to the Empire... The former is at least in the same ecological niche as the Kingdom of Ryan.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Sarah immediately left the window, walked forward and opened the door.

A waiter stood at the door and said respectfully.

"Sir, Mr. Joad, the owner of Rebecca Bedding Boutique, wants to meet you. He has been our long-time partner... He said he is willing to provide you with a new set of bedding for free as a gift to congratulate you on your visit to this port."

Sarah looked at Luo Yan who was sitting at the triangular round table.

Luo Yan yawned and said casually.

"not see."

Pretty fast, the first guest has arrived.

Unfortunately, it was just a small fish, so he threw it back into the river without a second thought.

The hotel has changed its owner, so cutting off suppliers is inevitable.

Long-standing partner?

Sorry, I don’t know you.

He only carries his own goods.

The waiter standing at the door was stunned for a moment and spoke hesitantly.

"But...he has already delivered the things."

Luo Yan said without any politeness.

"Have him dragged back."

"Yes..." Although the waiter felt strange, he didn't say anything in the end. He nodded respectfully and turned around to do as he was told.

In fact, compared to Mr. Colin's dedication or stubbornness to quality, he was more curious about how this gentleman had managed to get by last night.

There is no bed here. Did he sit there all night?

You can't sleep on the floor...

Just as he was about to walk out the door and close it, the respected Mr. Colin suddenly called him.

"Wait a moment."

The waiter immediately stopped and spoke attentively.

"Do you have any other instructions, sir?"

Luo Yan glanced out the window, thought for a moment and continued.

"A guy named Jack will be here in a while. He may not come in through the main entrance. When you see him, don't ask anything. Just bring him to me."

The waiter was slightly stunned, but didn't dare to ask more questions and nodded respectfully.

"Yes, sir."
