Not long after, guided by Nancy, Ye Cangtian and the other two arrived before a European classical building.
It was an establishment of the Idi family, the St. De Hotel.
Upon entering, a smiling concierge approached them.
"Esteemed sirs and ladies, welcome to St. De Hotel..."
Nancy nodded to the attendant and said, "I wish to book the presidential suite."
The attendant was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up. The presidential suite was extremely expensive.
If the guests successfully checked in, she would receive a substantial commission.
The next moment, the attendant bowed and said, "This way, please."
The attendant led the three of them directly to the counter and personally contacted the lobby manager.
This was a tradition at St. De Hotel; any booking of the presidential suite required a manager or higher to handle the service.
After a short while, a tall, blonde, blue-eyed beauty in uniform walked towards them.
"Distinguished gentlemen, beautiful lady, hello. I am Pamela, the manager of this hotel. I am honored to serve you..."
The woman bowed slowly to the three of them, a professional and warm smile on her face.
Nancy returned a faint smile and then presented her identification, pushing it towards the manager.
Pamela took the identification, first comparing their appearances with the photos on the documents. Seeing they matched, she began to examine the contents of the documents.
However, as she read, a frosty expression replaced her smiling face.
She glanced at the female attendant beside her and beckoned with a finger.
The attendant, puzzled, wondered if something was wrong.
Despite her thoughts, she walked over.
*Slap!*
An instant later, a loud slap echoed. The female attendant was sent flying and crashed heavily to the side.
In the blink of an eye, the attendant's cheek was red and swollen.
"You idiot! Do you not want to work here anymore?"
"Don't you even look at their status before making me serve them!"
Pamela glared fiercely at the attendant and then turned to leave, as if she hadn't seen Ye Cangtian and the other two.
After all, Ye Cangtian and his companions were guests, and it was normal for them not to know the hotel's rules.
However, this blatant disregard caused Ye Cangtian and the other two to frown.
Especially Nancy, who had brought Ye Cangtian here, and now they were being treated this way, it was a direct slap in the face.
"Stop!"
The next moment, Nancy called out to her, her voice cold. "Pamela, right? What's wrong with you serving us?"
Seeing Nancy's icy expression, Pamela's face also darkened.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you think you are qualified?"
"Let me tell you, only those of Cardinal rank are allowed to book the presidential suite. What are you people?"
Pamela said dismissively. She hadn't intended to argue with them, but since they were being persistent, she couldn't be blamed for being impolite.
Pamela had no reservations about this.
She had already reviewed their documents and saw they were mere merchants.
Such individuals were eligible to stay at St. De Hotel, but only in standard rooms on the first floor.
What could happen from offending people like them?
"Cardinal?"
Nancy glared at her and questioned, "If I recall correctly, St. De Hotel did not have such a requirement originally!"
After a pause, Nancy continued coldly, "What? After Idi's death, do you servants dare to act so wantonly, relying on the care of the Holy See?"
"Heh heh, it seems you are not ordinary merchants. You even know about Lord Idi's affairs!"
Pamela smiled playfully, her eyes flickering with mockery.
Idi was indeed dead, but such news was only known to those within the Holy See and was strictly forbidden from spreading.
This was also a protective measure for the Idi family's businesses.
Yet now, this person knew about it. Pamela seemed to have seen through something, thinking that the Holy See might be interested in such merchants.
"Hmph! I am asking you, why is there suddenly such a requirement!"
Nancy did not answer, but a hint of killing intent flickered in her eyes as she asked coldly.
"Scaring me is useless. Do you think I grew up being scared?"
"Let me tell you, Lord Hassal is in charge here now. If you want to cause trouble, you'd better weigh your options!"
Pamela was unfazed by the killing intent in Nancy's eyes, instead showing a disdainful expression.
She had seen many people like this, who, upon learning of Idi's demise, set their sights on St. De Hotel.
But in the end, they all became obedient upon hearing Hassal's name.
After all, Hassal was the only surviving elder-level expert in the Holy See, currently favored by the Pope.
Who would dare oppose Hassal!
"This..."
Upon mentioning Hassal, Nancy's expression immediately changed.
Even she, in her past, was merely a junior to Hassal. To get him to show her some respect depended on his mood.
Although she wasn't afraid of Hassal now, the problem was that if Hassal were to be summoned and a confrontation ensued, wouldn't that expose her identity?
She didn't want to cause trouble for Ye Cangtian before any action was taken.
Thinking of this, Nancy looked at Ye Cangtian with shame and said helplessly, "I'm afraid we'll have to find another hotel."
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian said calmly, "No need for such trouble. I have no specific requirements for the room; any suite will do."
"Hmph! You think you can just get any suite!"
"Have you looked in the mirror to see who you are!"
"Let me tell you, with your status as merchants, you are only fit to stay in standard rooms on the first floor. Take it or leave it, if you don't want it, get out!"
Before Nancy could speak, Pamela, hearing Ye Cangtian's words, directly addressed him.
In her opinion, since they had already offended them, they might as well continue to do so.
Moreover, from Nancy's tone earlier, she was clearly afraid of Hassal, which made her even more uninhibited.
"You! You'd better not push your luck!"
Upon hearing this, Nancy's figure flashed, and she instantly appeared beside Pamela, grabbing her collar and raising her arm to teach her a lesson.
However, just then, Ye Cangtian's voice rang out.
"Xiao Xi, forget it. Why bother with a dog? Wouldn't that lower your own status?"
*Humph!*
Hearing this, Nancy let out a soft snort and reluctantly let go.
"Good for you! You dare to lay hands on me!"
"Today, let alone a standard room, you won't even get into the outhouse!"
"Now get out!"
Pamela's mind was quick. The moment Nancy grabbed her, she struggled with all her might but couldn't break free.
This was enough to show the opponent's strength, as she herself was a peak Profound rank expert.
Therefore, at this moment, she didn't call for security to deal with the three of them but chose to drive them away.
While Hassal was indeed looking after them now, she couldn't constantly bother Hassal!
As her words fell, Ye Cangtian's brows gradually furrowed. He hadn't intended to teach her a lesson, but her relentless provocation truly annoyed him.
The next moment, Ye Cangtian stepped forward and said calmly, "Pamela, is it? Keep the presidential suite for me. I will make you kneel and invite me in!"
"Nonsense! If I kneel and invite you, then I'll eat shit standing on my head!" Pamela said fiercely.
"Very well, remember your words!"
Ye Cangtian sneered, then took Nancy and Xu Shian, and left the hotel.
As soon as they left the hotel, Nancy approached Ye Cangtian and said, "Boss, I'm sorry, I've disappointed you!"
"Heh heh, it's alright."
Ye Cangtian smiled and shook his head. There were many short-sighted people in this world; he was already accustomed to it.
Seeing that Ye Cangtian wasn't blaming her, Nancy quickly said, "Boss, I know of other hotels. I'll take you there."
"No need. I told you, we're staying at St. De Hotel!" Ye Cangtian said calmly.
His words stunned Nancy and Xu Shian. They had been kicked out by the manager here; how could they go back?
Did they have to swallow their pride and beg the other party?
They were incapable of such a thing!
