Chapter 1219: Chapter 1219: Warm Hospitality
"Holy Master?"
Upon hearing the words ’Holy Master,’ Zain Ellsworth immediately became vigilant.
Elaenor Wood and the Holy Master had just fought a fierce battle at Shadow Gate.
That fight carried a sense of taking advantage of someone’s peril.
Both parties were well aware that this was a game where someone had to die.
The one to survive could only be one person.
Now, the Holy Master sent someone for a reception?
A weasel paying a New Year’s visit to a chicken—definitely up to no good!
However, these people in front of him seemed just like ordinary folks.
They probably couldn’t even touch the hem of their masters’ garments.
"We don’t know the Holy Master!"
As he spoke, a white powder formed in the palm of Zain Ellsworth’s right hand.
With just one slap, these people in front of him would drop dead on the spot.
"No harm!"
Slap!
Just as he was prepared to strike, Elaenor Wood snapped his folding fan shut, pressing it against Zain Ellsworth’s wrist.
"Having someone take care of food and lodging is a good thing."
Elaenor Wood, looking at the group of men before him, walked past with his hands clasped behind his back, "The Holy Master really treats me like a friend!"
"Yes."
Zain Ellsworth, not daring to say more, obediently followed behind Elaenor Wood.
But his eyes remained alert, watching the surroundings.
Fearing that any mishap might occur.
He couldn’t believe that Julius Reed was so kind-hearted as to send people to specifically receive Elaenor Wood.
On their way over, Zain Ellsworth had suggested they keep a low profile.
But Elaenor Wood had immediately vetoed the idea.
Those who plot openly scorn secrecy and fear no tricks.
Elaenor Wood had an extraordinary confidence in his own strength.
"Please!"
The Donovan Family’s bodyguards promptly opened the car door, respectfully inviting them inside.
They received orders to treat Elaenor Wood as an esteemed guest.
"Thank you."
Elaenor Wood nodded, then seated himself in the back row.
And Zain Ellsworth hastily went around to sit in the front passenger seat.
The convoy slowly drove off, heading towards the Donovan Family hotel.
"Where’s the Holy Master?"
Elaenor Wood lowered the window, gazing at the night scene outside.
In the distance, Star City’s bustling downtown shone brightly with lights.
A refreshing breeze wafted in, quite pleasing.
"I’m sorry, but we’re just following orders; we don’t know anything else."
The driver responded stiffly.
"Then I’ll guess."
Elaenor Wood, far from being upset, instead asked with a smile, "In the hotel?"
"Sorry, I really don’t know," the driver replied, continuing to drive and responding to Elaenor Wood’s inquiries: "I’m just following orders to take you to the hotel. Anything else is beyond my responsibilities."
"How boring."
Elaenor Wood shook his head, leaned back in his seat, and squinted his eyes.
Soon enough.
The car stopped in front of a hotel.
This was the city center.
The most bustling hotel owned by the Donovan Family.
But at this moment, it was surrounded by a crowd.
"Aren’t you open for business? We came to spend money, why won’t you let us in?"
"I’m going to complain about this! Bullying customers because you’re a big store; you’ll go out of business sooner or later!"
"Let’s leave, I’ll never come here again!"
Many people were arguing with the hotel manager.
"Sorry, but we have the most important guests tonight. They have reserved the entire venue; please forgive us," explained the manager, sweating profusely.
Nearly a hundred people had gathered at the hotel entrance.
Many were business people who had chosen this place to conduct transactions.
After all, some things and some people require the setting of such a high-end hotel, along with a few bottles of Western liquor, to be effective.
As a result.
Someone booked the entire venue?
"I’m born and bred in Star City; since the establishment of this hotel, I’ve never heard of anyone booking the whole place! Even the boss of the Donovan Family hasn’t done that!"
"Hmph, today I really want to see who has such clout to book the entire venue here!"
Everyone was talking, both angry and somewhat curious.
Booking the entire venue here?
Who could it be?
"I’m afraid we won’t be able to eat."
Elaenor Wood stood amongst the crowd, grinning at Zain Ellsworth: "The hotel being booked, the Saint Lord must be mocking me!"
"Petty-minded!"
Zain Ellsworth, somewhat annoyed, said: "If they can’t defeat you, they think of using such despicable tricks to disgust you!"
In the battle at Medicine King Valley, Julius Reed had almost slaughtered everyone there.
As the Chief Supreme Elder, Zain Ellsworth was full of resentment!
But out of concern for Elaenor Wood, he dared not lash out, much less seek revenge.
In his heart, though, he already despised Julius Reed to death.
"Let’s go, let’s find our own place," Elaenor Wood said with a smile, shaking his head as he turned to leave.
"Mr. Wood!"
But just at that moment, a shout came from behind Elaenor Wood.
"Mr. Wood! Please wait! We’ve been waiting half an hour and finally you’ve arrived!"
The hotel manager rushed out from the crowd, panting as he stood in front of Elaenor Wood: "Please! We’ve cleared out the entire hotel."
"You... are you sure you haven’t mistaken me for someone else?"
Even Elaenor Wood was surprised.
Pointing at himself, he asked: "Me?"
"Yes, you!"
The hotel manager said excitedly, nodding his head: "We’ve cleared the entire hotel just to wait for you! It’s Mr. Reed’s instructions."
Having said that, he stepped aside and extended his hand: "Please!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth.
Music began to play at the hotel entrance.
A line of musicians played lively tunes, standing on the red carpet, welcoming the master and servant duo.
After someone took photos, the image of Elaenor Wood appeared clearly displayed on the hotel’s hundred-inch screen.
"Sorry, everyone!"
The hotel manager stood at the entrance, gesturing to those discontented people: "Our esteemed guest has arrived! Everyone, please leave!"
After that, the waitstaff lined up in two rows, forming an aisle to welcome them.
"Holy smokes! Who is this guy? What a grand entrance!"
"Who knows! But this person doesn’t look simple. Could he possibly be some major corporation’s heir?"
"I’ll post on friends’ circle to ask!"
Everyone took out their phones and took pictures of Elaenor Wood’s image on the large screen,
and started spreading it on social networks.
"Well played!"
Elaenor Wood looked up at the screen showing his image and tapped Zain Ellsworth’s chest with his fan: "Do not judge the heart of a noble man by the standard of petty men! Although the Saint Lord and I are archenemies, there’s a mutual respect between us."
After finishing, he laughed loudly and walked in with his hands clasped behind his back.
"What a boss! Even brought along his servant!"
Watching Elaenor Wood’s retreating figure, everyone was impressed.
At the same time, they couldn’t help but speculate about the middle-aged man’s identity.
At this very moment!
At The North Sea Palace!
Everton Davenport sat on his throne with a grave expression.
Beneath him, the Left Minister was crying inconsolably.
"Your Majesty! This man’s skills are formidable; had it not been for my foresight, I might have had difficulty escaping!" Solaris Grove bowed deeply and said: "When I got there, Master King had already perished."
He carried a longbow, and his fingers were bandaged with white cloth.
"Ishmael Will, what did you find on your end?"
Everton Davenport looked down at the elder in the hall.
"Nelson did not appear at the Donovan Family manor; by the time I arrived, Finnegan Springs and Branley Sinclair had already been killed," Ishmael Will stood below, speaking indifferently: "Concerned for the safety of the palace, I immediately returned."
"Please, Your Majesty, seek justice for me!"
The Left Minister’s head pressed hard against the ground, crying out in agony.
"To kill my North Sea dignitaries, wound my generals, and cut off my financial avenues!"
Bang!
Everton Davenport fiercely slammed his throne and said coldly: "Search! Find out where exactly he is!"
"Report!"
Just then, a scout knelt outside the door.
"Your Majesty, we’ve located him at Zephyr Hotel!"
