Although no one recognized that badge, almost everyone associated it with the recently popular Mr. Colin.
Not long after, several young and strong n carried several large items wrapped in linen off the ship, loaded them onto a carriage, and quickly hurried towards Queen Street.
The carriage soon arrived at the hotel entrance.
With the help of the hotel staff, the young n swiftly completed the unloading and then rushed back towards the port, seemingly eager to unload another batch of goods.
Looking at the pile of items at the hotel entrance, so familiar faces ca up trying to find bargains, but this ti they were chased away by the hotel's security guards.
These things were clearly needed by Mr. Colin.
The hotel staff were working together to lift one of the mattresses and transport them one by one into the hotel lobby.
Watching the commotion at the hotel entrance, the onlooking citizens exchanged curious glances and began to murmur in speculation.
"What are those things?"
"It seems Mr. Colin couldn't bear the backward living standards in Thunder City and specifically ordered a batch of furniture from his own domain."
"I've heard about that too. The owner of Rebecca's Fine Bedding Store even went to the hotel to offer the gentleman a set of bedding for free, but didn't even get to et him before being turned away."
"Are you talking about Mr. Jode's shop?! I rember he used to be the royal tailor for the Royal Family, and even his craft doesn't catch Mr. Colin's eye?"
The crowd gasped in disbelief.
But soon soone curled their lip and muttered.
"Royal Family? The Royal Family of the Campbell Duchy is considered a royal family too, but at the end of the day, it's just a Duke, and still the Duke of the Kingdom... that gentleman is an Imperial noble, his title likely isn't much less than the Campbell family's."
This statent received quite a bit of approval.
In Thunder City, the followers of the Campbell Royal Family were far fewer than in rural areas, especially in the affluent Queen's District.
Although these citizens would cheer for the Campbell Duke and the Princess, it didn't stop them from thinking Imperial nobles were more stylish.
After all, the nobles and tycoons of the Campbell Duchy believed this too.
In their view, the more fastidious Mr. Colin appeared to be, the more unreasonable it seed, further confirming their suspicions about his identity.
So even boldly speculated that this guy might have royal blood flowing through his veins, being a close relative of the Imperial Royal Family!
A young man couldn't help but envyingly say.
"Why are there so many mattresses, how many beds does he need to sleep on?"
"Perhaps the gentleman plans to replace all the beds in the hotel with his mattresses." A man appearing to be a shopkeeper said, growing even more curious.
Maybe in a few days, he could book a night to try, perhaps getting lucky enough to experience the lavish life of the Imperial nobles.
After all, a 10-silver coin room rate per night wasn't unaffordable for him, as most hotels on this street charged about the sa.
At this mont, he didn't know that this price had already beco a thing of the past, as now the cheapest room at the Embrace of Dawn Hotel cost a gold coin.
Apart from being curious about Mr. Colin's daily life, so straightforward people wondered how these mattresses arrived so quickly.
"Is it that close from his domain to here?"
Hearing this silly question, soone nearby quickly rolled their eyes and answered.
"Are you dumb, did you think he only sent a letter back ho this morning? Couldn't this ship have set off right behind him!"
"I heard he seed to co by carriage..."
"Clearly, he disembarked at the North Sea, traveled through the Northern Academic Federation and the northern region of the Ryan Kingdom all the way here."
"What's he doing, traveling?"
"Who knows... but I did hear a little rumor, according to soone working at the Embrace of Dawn Hotel, their boss apparently t with a mysterious millionaire today, seemingly discussing so incredible comrcial plans!"
Incredible comrcial plans?!
What is that?
The curiosity of everyone was piqued, especially those small business owners, whose eyes shone with a fervent glow.
Just as Luo Yan predicted, they all slled the scent of opportunity, like sharks scenting blood.
That mysterious millionaire was most likely soone from the Andes Family!
No one expected to snatch a piece of the pie from the Andes Family, but even gaining a little benefit from their collaboration would leave them with their coffers full!
As the misunderstanding continued to spread among the crowd, an elderly man in a brown wool coat and a bowler hat hurriedly walked to the hotel entrance.
The man was none other than Jode, the distinguished tailor once rejected by the noble Mr. Colin, who used to serve the Royal Family of the Campbell Duchy!
He wordlessly pushed aside the guards blocking him, walked to the pile of mattresses wrapped in linen, and reached out to touch them.
In an instant, a look of shock appeared on his face, and he promptly turned around and sat down heavily on them.
Since the hotel staff recognized the old man, they initially didn't want to stop him, but didn't expect him to have such a lack of boundaries, quickly grabbing his arms to pull him up.
