Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#207 - A life-loving old man

The bald black man was clearly surprised by Liang Yue's request, but after a moment of contemplation, he maintained his smile and replied.

"I'm sorry, sir, our hotel doesn't offer that kind of service."

"I'm not in a good mood right now, but I can say it again. I want to know the identities of those who attacked me, and the person who hired them behind the scenes."

Liang Yue's heart was calm, and he still wore a faint smile on his face, but that didn't mean he had successfully suppressed the restlessness in his heart.

On the contrary, he had already entered a certain state, one where he was about to lash out and kill.

Whenever this moment arrived, Liang Yue would appear particularly calm because his entire mind was focused on how to deal with the group of assassins around him.

Imperceptibly, a faint murderous intent began to permeate around him.

The corners of his clothes fluttered, and his hair danced, making him seem somewhat ethereal.

The laughter was mixed with hints of mockery, joy, and teasing.

It was as if this was the funniest thing they had ever heard in their lives.

However, relatively speaking, the bald black man opposite him had already sensed Liang Yue's unease, and his expression began to turn cautious the moment someone spoke.

Nevertheless, after hearing Liang Yue's words, he still said solemnly.

"I'm very sorry, sir, our hotel doesn't have this kind of..."

"Swish!"

Before he could finish speaking, Liang Yue instantly drew his twin swords.

Two bright crescent arcs of light instantly danced in the air.

However, the target was not the black man in front of him.

Liang Yue retreated swiftly like a ghost, reaching the hotel entrance in the blink of an eye, the chilling moon slashes and the sound of swords echoing throughout the lobby.

The sword light was like frost, the sword's hum like thunder, shaking people's minds and making them forget themselves.

By the time he returned to the front of the counter, the entire process hadn't even taken a second!

"Swish..." "Swish..." "Swish..."

Immediately afterward, more than a dozen heads flew into the air, and the unbridled splashing blood instantly stained the entire lobby, which had originally been warm and elegant, with a layer of fierce intent.

However, although Liang Yue was killing, he was selective, only taking out those assassins who had mocked him earlier.

Besides these people, there were still a few who had remained unmoved and watched the situation unfold.

However, at this moment, they were stunned by the sudden change.

Amidst the blood spurting all around, Liang Yue looked calmly at the bald black man opposite him, his tone unwavering.

"You'd better think carefully before answering my question."

Upon seeing this, the black man behind the counter took a deep breath, then barely suppressed the shock in his eyes and said.

"Sir, our hotel indeed doesn't have this kind of service, nor does it have this kind of authority, but I can convey your request to our boss, and he will make the decision."

After speaking, and seeing Liang Yue nod, the bald man hesitantly picked up the old-fashioned rotary dial telephone and began a conversation with someone on the other end.

After a moment, once the negotiation was complete, the bald black man extended his hand to Liang Yue, making a gesture of invitation, signaling him to follow.

"A friendly reminder, sir, our Continental Hotel doesn't allow fighting, let alone tolerate murder within the hotel premises. Your actions just now have seriously violated our industry's rules.

Unless your strength can pacify the Council of the Continental Hotel Alliance, you may be in a state of being wanted and hunted for a long time to come."

On the way, the black man leading the way ahead barely managed to calm down.

As for the purpose of his words, it was difficult to tell whether it was a friendly reminder or a threat.

However, Liang Yue didn't care at all and said directly.

"Your rules are none of my business. I'm looking forward to you giving me some surprises, just don't regret it when the time comes."

......

After a while, Liang Yue followed the man to the top floor of the hotel.

Pushing open a pair of wooden doors revealed a very pretentious scene design. There was a garden, a fountain, sculptures, and a fireplace~

Yes, even though it was outdoors, and on the roof of a high-rise building where the cold wind was howling, the owner of this hotel still built a fireplace directly opposite the door.

At this moment, firewood was burning in the stove, and a curly-haired man who had just entered old age was sitting beside it, holding a square glass in his hand.

In addition, an unexpected figure was also sitting beside him.

"Elizabeth? What are you doing here?"

Looking at the beautiful figure with a slightly furrowed brow, Liang Yue was surprised, but after thinking about it, he didn't find it strange.

"It seems that the person who put a bounty on me here has a rather unusual relationship with you."

Seeing Liang Yue appear, the blonde girl who had been sitting sideways immediately stood up and walked quickly towards him.

A delicate face still carried a hint of sadness and irritability.

"Liang Yue, please stop making trouble, okay?"

"Making trouble? Do you think my actions to avenge myself and Aunt Liu are just making trouble?"

Hearing this, Liang Yue looked helplessly at Elizabeth in front of him, then moved aside and walked past her.

However, just as the two were about to pass each other, Liang Yue was grabbed by the arm by the woman.

"What I mean is, stop for now. I can guarantee you that this matter will be resolved satisfactorily, okay?"

When she spoke, Elizabeth's gaze towards him already carried a hint of pleading.

Seeing this, Liang Yue narrowed his eyes, and his mood suddenly became complicated, but then his heart was filled with anger.

Unconsciously, a hot breath slowly came out of his nostrils.

Looking at the woman, his expression changed several times before he replied in a stiff tone.

"Okay, from now on, you have three days. After three days, I want to see that person's two hands placed in front of me."

"But he's only sixteen years old, and he's grown up with me since he was a child. He's just a little... willful and naughty. Can't you spare him this time?"

"Everyone has to pay the price for what they do. I think this lesson will be enough for him to benefit from for a lifetime."

After speaking, Liang Yue shook off Elizabeth's hand, took a deep breath, and then slowly came to the side of the curly-haired old man.

When the other party saw him coming, he quickly stood up from his seat and took the initiative to extend his hand to him.

Seeing this, Liang Yue shook hands with him indifferently.

"Hello, Mr. Liang Yue. I never knew that a young talent like you would appear in New York City. To be honest, if you had appeared earlier, maybe these things wouldn't have happened.

Of course, this can only be blamed on our intelligence department's failure!"

"Hello, I presume you are the owner of this hotel. I'll be blunt, can you give me what I want?"

"Of course! For the sake of my own little life, I will hand over the information you need without any psychological burden."

As he spoke, a tall, strong, sunglasses-wearing bald man walked in from the outside, holding a stack of A4 papers that looked freshly printed.

They still emitted a faint smell of ink.

"This is what you want~ Mr. Liang Yue, including some information about the employer who put a bounty on you, as well as the industries under his name, etc.

In addition, there is the information of the people who attacked you and Ms. Liu last night, but as far as I know, the person who attacked Ms. Liu has already been killed by her on the spot.

So~ what's useful to you now should only be these two pieces of information~"

Although this was also violating the so-called rules, the owner of this New York Continental Hotel did not show any psychological burden at this time.

After handing over the information to him, he even thoughtfully gave him a real-time explanation.

"Thank you, Mr. Manager."

Liang Yue was very satisfied with the attitude shown by the person in front of him and quickly shifted his attention to the information in his hand.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the boss of the New York Continental Hotel poured a mouthful of wine into his mouth and spoke again.

"My name is Winston, Mr. Liang Yue, you can call me that. In addition, I have something else to tell you, Mr. Liang Yue, which is about the bounty that was issued against you.

It has now been canceled by our Continental Hotel Alliance, but~ in view of your previous actions of killing people in the hotel, it has in fact violated the rules of our industry.

Therefore, the Council of our Continental Hotel Alliance may take action against you at any time."

"Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Winston, I look forward to it, goodbye~"

Hearing this, Liang Yue finally raised his head from the papers in his hand and said goodbye to the other party.

"Goodbye~ Mr. Liang Yue."

Turning back with the information in his hand, Elizabeth was still standing there, that figure that should have been elegant was now carrying a hint of listlessness.

Seeing this, Liang Yue patted the blonde girl's butt with the information in his hand, then walked and said.

"If you're going back to school, please help me ask for leave. I don't think I'll have time to go back to school these days."
