After staying in the police station for more than ten hours, Leonard, who was tired and hungry, along with his assistants and bodyguard, were finally bailed out at noon the next day.
He had been locked up in the police station for such a long time, so it was impossible for him to be in a good mood. Hence, Leonard got into the car with a gloomy face. Meanwhile, the assistant followed him and carefully looked at Leonard’s expression before asking, “Mr. Floyd, are you ok? They didn’t make things difficult for you, did they?”
“Huh? Do you think I look alright?” Leonard managed to squeeze these words out of his clenched teeth.
“Who on earth plotted against us like this? Is it the Floyd family?”
“The Floyd family? Haha, the Floyd family doesn’t have the capabilities to do this!”
“Who is that? Could it be William?” The assistant asked again.
After hearing this, Leonard grunted in agreement, but his assistant couldn’t believe it. “Urgh! William is really! Luckily, he didn’t put anything that could cost you your life in your pocket. If not…”
The assistant never finished his sentence, and he was trying to imply that Leonard shouldn’t think about coming out of prison if he had something that could cost him his life in his pocket.
At this thought, Leonard lit a cigarette irritably. “What do you know? He’s warning me! Hence, he never thought about doing anything to me at all!”
“Mr. Ye, where are we going now? How about staying in Joyous Hotel? We’ve booked some rooms in the hotel already, right?”
“When did I say that I was going to live in Joyous Hotel? Urgh! Why should we cause trouble for ourselves by staying there? Do you want the Floyd family to laugh at us?”
The assistant didn’t dare to protest after being scolded. “Mr. Floyd, where will be staying then?”
“Let’s change to another hotel! We can go to go to Wolf Group and stay at William’s hotel! Anyway, he already knows that I’m back. Let me stay right under his nose and see what he can do to me!”
Soon, they arrived at Wolf Group Hotel. Hence, Leonard, his assistant, and his bodyguards all entered the hotel.
Soon, someone came to welcome them. “Dear guests! Welcome! This way, please!”
A staff invited Leonard to sit down on the sofa near the hall as someone else served him some fragrant tea. Then, someone served him fragrant tea. The person who welcomed him asked respectfully, “Sir, how can I help you?”
“I want to book a room to stay in!” Leonard replied in an unpleasant tone.
“What room do you want? We have a super president suite here, a luxury president suite, and many other suites. Which one do you prefer?”
After hearing this, Leonard took a sip of tea. The tea entered his throat, and the fragrance of the tea filled his teeth and mouth. He was very satisfied and replied directly, “I want the super presidential suite.”
“Okay, I’ll help you with your check-in. Please provide us with the necessary information.”
A few minutes later, Leonard received a text on his phone saying that a million dollars had been deducted from his bank account. His expression froze as he looked at the message. Was Wolf Group’s super president suite actually so expensive?
He didn’t remember that this was the price of the hotel. However, he couldn’t ruin his reputation to ask about the price of the suite. Hence, he could ask his assistant to ask about it instead.
He asked his assistant to take a look at the message, and the assistant immediately asked, “Isn’t your presidential suite 480 dollars?”
“Dear guests, the ordinary presidential suite is 480 dollars, but you have ordered a super presidential suite. You can look at the stars when you live in it, so it completely different from the normal suites?”
Hah! Could they actually watch the stars in the suite? William had his tricks indeed. Leonard had already booked the room, so he wouldn’t ask for a refund. Instead, they followed the hotel staff’s lead and entered the elevator.
The presidential suite was indeed extraordinarily luxurious. Meanwhile, Leonard sat down on the sofa in the living room and felt hungry. He hadn’t eaten anything for more than ten hours, so his top priority now was to settle his growling stomach.
After that, he asked the hotel staff, “What delicious food would you recommend here in Wolf Group?”
Once the staff heard this, she immediately introduced Wolf Group’s signature dishes. She started describing all the dishes vividly, so Leonard began to feel even hungrier. Then, he ordered her, “Get a luxurious private room and arrange all the signature dishes.”
The staff immediately agreed to arrange it. Meanwhile, Leonard took a shower and changed his clothes before making his way to the private and luxurious suite.
Leonard, his assistants and his subordinates were led to a private room. Then, someone immediately began to serve the delicious cuisines.
Leonard and his subordinates were all hungry, so they began to help themselves with the food. After dinner, they looked at the bill, but the assistant’s face changed. The food had cost them more than five million dollars! The assistant felt that it was too much to spend so much money on a meal, so he immediately called the manager of the building to ask about this.
After that, the manager of the restaurant was full of smiles as he replied, “The ingredients used for distinguished guests are all very high-class and rare. For example, this fish is a wild sashimi worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Furthemore, in this seafood dish, there is curry crab, white pine, golden leaves, fish sauce, and lobsters. There are all tiptop ingredients, so you should know that the price is expensive. Also, this soup…”
“That’s enough!” Leonard stopped the manager from explaining when he heard this. Urgh! He couldn’t even vomit out the food that he had just gobbled down!
Also, he could easily afford the meal. If he made such a fuss out of a simple meal, William would find that he was a joke if the latter heard all of this.
When the group of people returned to their rooms, the more they thought about it, the more they felt that something was suspicious. “Mr. Floyd, I think that someone is taking advantage of us. Could William have arranged this on purpose?”
Leonard also felt that the cost of the food and hotel was too high. However, he had made the decision to stay in Wolf Group at the last minute. William wasn’t God, so how could he predict that Leonard had stayed in his hotel?
Since Leonard was the one who had decided to stay at William’s hotel, wouldn’t that mean that he had fallen into William’s trick willingly? Of course, Leonard was unwilling to admit that he had been tricked. After all, he had always thought that he was the only one who could deceive others.
At this thought, Leonard said, “William built his hotel to specifically serve the top class billionaires. These people are worth millions or billions, so it would be normal for them to spend so much in here.”
Once Leonard said this, his assistant was no longer bothered about this matter. He wasn’t the one paying for it anyway.
He immediately changed the subject and asked Leonard, “Mr. Floyd , what are we going to do next?”
“Now, of course, we should visit William’s wife and Abbie’s best friend, Valeria. This woman actually convinced William to return to his family, so I don’t think she’s a simple person. Hence, we need to find a chance to meet her!”
“Huh? It should be hard for us to meet her, right? When she leaves her house, I’m sure that she has a lot of servants at her back and call, so I don’t think we’ll get to meet her easily.”
“That’s not for sure. Valeria is different from other rich young ladies. She likes spicy food, and she likes browsing through the streets for snacks. Furthemore, she and Abbie likes to go to a famous hot pot restaurant in B City, and they often go to the roadside stalls together. Now she and William have children, so they have changed some of their daily habits. However, I’m sure that we can meet her easily if we go to some of her favourite places.”
“Mr. Floyd, what do you want to do when you see Valeria? Are you telling me that you just want to simply meet her?” The assistant was worried that Leonard would act rashly as he did overseas. He hesitated for a moment before continuing, “We are still in the country, and this is within William’s territory. He’ll have something on us if we don’t be careful…”
“What? Do you think I’m going to kill Valeria? Nah, don’t think too much.”
Leonard sneered and raised his wrist to look at the time. “I’ll rest for an hour first. Come and wake me up an hour later. We’ll go to the place where Valeria often drinks afternoon tea and wait for our prey there.”
