Andor stared at him in shock, thinking the idea was simply insane.
Queen Street didn't have just this one hotel, and there were plenty of hotels far more luxurious than theirs. What kind of fool would spend such a fortune to stay here?!
However, even though that's what Andor thought, he still worked hard to mask the "this guy must be crazy" look in his eyes and offered exaggerated flattery instead.
"You're truly... so wise! To be honest, I've been wanting to raise prices for a long ti now, but I didn't do it out of respect for my father's instructions… Of course, from now on, this hotel is your property. You can set any price you see fit!"
Luo Yan knew this guy was sucking up to him, but he rely smiled and didn't take it to heart.
Worldly wealth was rely a string of numbers to him. Besides, as a dignified Demon King, did he need to rely on a hotel to make money?
1 gold coin was just the price of a "ticket" to encounter the "mysterious Mr. Colin."
If soone couldn't even afford a fraction of a glass of wine, it only ant they weren't worthy of involving themselves in his affairs.
Since he was milking the rich, he naturally had to choose the ripest crop to harvest.
Accompanied by Andor, Luo Yan toured the hotel's restaurant and lounge, then visited the kitchen and wine cellar, and finally arrived at the most luxurious suite on the top floor.
This suite ca with a living room featuring a fireplace, two bedrooms, and even a private lounge and study. Its opulent decor was palace-like and so spacious it was almost absurd.
Due to its hefty price tag of 200 Aurum per night, it was seldom booked, and the suite was primarily used as a display piece to flaunt the hotel's extravagance.
Luo Yan was very pleased with the decor and nodded approvingly.
"Not bad. I quite like the ambiance here. However, I have a preference for cleanliness. I dislike using items that others have used. I'd like everything in this suite replaced with new furnishings."
The obsession with cleanliness was part of the persona he had crafted for "Mr. Colin."
In fact, he not only intended to discard everything here but would also instruct his subordinates to make a grand spectacle out of it, ensuring the entire street would know he had arrived.
Andor smiled warmly and said, "No problem! From now on, this hotel is your property. You can remodel it however you wish!"
At this mont, he had entirely abandoned his earlier rhetoric, completely forgetting any sentintal talk about his father's legacy.
At that point, a woman in hotel uniform ran over. She gently pushed open the door and handed Andor two copies of a contract.
The woman seed to be his secretary, though it appeared her role was not limited to that.
Andor received the contract, quickly glanced over it, and, after confirming there were no errors, imdiately handed it to the esteed Mr. Colin in front of him, his face beaming with an ingratiating smile.
"Honorable Mr. Colin... the contracts have been prepared. Should we head to the bank, or shall I contact the banker to co here?"
"No need to go through such trouble. I'll handle the paynt right here."
As he said this, Luo Yan extended his right hand and lightly swiped his index finger through the air. A dark red trail followed the path of his fingertip, tearing open a rift in thin air.
From within, golden coins rained down, clattering onto the woolen carpet until they ford a small mountain.
Witnessing this incredible scene, both Andor and his secretary widened their eyes in disbelief, their faces filled with astonishnt.
Was that Space Magic?
No—
Andor's eyes were suddenly drawn to the ring on Luo Yan's finger, and his face transford into an expression of utter shock. He couldn't hold back a gasp.
"Is that... a storage ring?!"
Legend had it that storage rings were Magic Devices created by the followers of the Space God during the First Epoch. Another rumor suggested the technology ca from an "otherworld" beyond the Aus Continent.
No matter which story was true, the technique of crafting storage rings had long been lost.
Although for certain extraordinarily skilled Mages who specialized in Subspace research, storing items in Subspace was not overly challenging, even the most renowned Great Mage from the Academic State couldn't condense the technology to stabilize Subspace into sothing as compact as a ring.
Its value was beyond imagination!
From what Andor could recall, the Andes Family supposedly had one, worn by the current Family Head of the Andes Family!
If mory served, that ring had been auctioned not far from here and ultimately sold for 500,000 gold coins!
To think that the gentleman before him might hold a status even nobler than the Andes Family Clan Leader, Andor's eyes were no longer just fervent—they verged on madness.
Saint Xi above—
Who on earth was this man?
In Andor's eyes, Roxey Colin seed to radiate dazzling golden light, so brilliant that even the mound of coins paled in comparison.
Seeing the dumbstruck Andor, Luo Yan spoke to rouse him from his daze.
"Is this enough money?"
"I…" Andor's face turned bright red with excitent, his palms sweaty with nervousness. It took him several attempts to stamr out his response. "Honorable Mr. Colin, please forgive my rudeness. I've never seen this much money before. Please allow to call soone from the bank to witness our transaction. I believe it will put your mind at ease as well."
"Then hurry up."
Luo Yan casually signed his father's na on both copies of the contract, then let out a yawn and shot a glance at Sarah.
"It's getting late. I'd like to rest. I'll leave this to you."
"As you command." Sarah nodded respectfully, seeing the heap of gold coins on the ground as worthless as dirt.
Not everyone could remain entirely unbothered in the presence of such great wealth.
The unyielding loyalty of this guard further solidified Andor's suspicions, to the point where an idea involuntarily sprouted in his mind—could this gentleman be royalty?
The Colin Family…
He would have to investigate thoroughly!
