Chapter 229 Impromptu Decision
That thought solidified when Lucius swiped his hotel key card and the double doors to the suite slid open.
'Gaudy.'
It was the first word that came to Lucian's mind as he stepped inside the suite.
Every surface — doors, tables, carpets, crystal chandeliers, and even the edges of the massive windows that offered a view of the Alabaster City — was rimmed with gold. It was as though the designer took the word 'luxury' and turned it into a weapon to assault the senses of whoever was unfortunate enough to pay for the suite.
Lucian's lips curled in distaste.
'I won't be stealing this disgusting decoration style for my hotel.'
That was right, Lucian had decided to open a hotel with the main aim of making money.
He already had the perfect location in mind — Moon Grove Forest. It was a prime location bordering the entrance to a Secret Realm. Mages from nearby cities and towns had already flocked over in droves, and soon, Lucian felt the number of Mages would only increase.
If Lucian did not squeeze every last Mana Stone out of those Mages waiting to enter the Secret Realm, it would be the biggest travesty.
With a plan in mind for the future, Lucian finally turned his gaze to the unconscious man in bed.
"Master, please save our father," Lucius begged from beside the bed.
Even though Lucius was Lucian's servant, he still retained his affection for his father. The only difference was his and Luke's undying loyalty to Lucian.
Lucian nodded his head.
"I came here to do just that... and, of course, enslave your father."
Even after hearing the last part, Lucius and Luke did not even flinch.
[System, I want the cheapest potion to bring him back to full condition.]
<{753 Low-Grade Mana Stones to 653 Low-Grade Mana Stones}>
[Host, the transaction is complete. Please check the System Inventory for the Mana Veins Restoration Potion.]
A bit of shuteye on the balcony under the blazing sun was more up his alley.
Lucian found a comfortable spot on the balcony. After a contented sigh, he closed his eyes and allowed the sun's warmth to put him to sleep.
Time drifted by. In what felt like a blink of an eye, five hours had passed.
In the adjacent room, an elated Lucius dashed toward the door to his Master's room and knocked repeatedly.
"Master, please wake up!" Lucius continued banging on the door.
Outside on the balcony, Lucian's ears twitched as the knocking entered his ears. Groaning, he went over and opened the door.
"He's awake," Lucius exclaimed happily. "Master, my father's awake."
"I figured. Move aside."
After Lucius moved away from the door, Lucian exited his room and turned his head towards the two kneeling figures.
They were none other than Luke, who was crying tears of joy, and the bandit boss.
As soon as the bandit boss saw Lucian, his eyes lit up, and he decisively slammed his head onto the ground. "Thank you, Master, for saving my life!"
Obviously, he was grateful for the opportunity to continue his life.
Lucian accepted his gratitude with a nod as he sat down on the bed the man previously occupied.
Looking down at the man, Lucian's expression finally changed from indifference. His lips curled into a faint smile.
Being stared at fixedly, the bandit boss shivered for a reason he was oblivious to.
"So, Ember Lion Pride's boss. Let's start with introductions."
Hearing that, the bandit boss was smart, quickly understanding his Master was asking for his name only.
"Master, my name is Bai Shishi."
Lucian blinked in surprise and raised an eyebrow.
