If these Emei followers stayed at the Darby mansion, Florian might even stand a chance with some of them. Or so he thought.
Hearing that, Yumi came up behind him and pinched him. "What are you so excited about?"
Yumi knew her husband well enough to understand how perverted his mind was. If he wasn't perverted, he would not have assaulted Rebecca. This useless trash must have seen that the Abbess Mother Serendipity was gorgeous and began having dirty thoughts about her.
"What? I'm just concerned that the Emein followers have nowhere else to stay, and I feel bad for them." Florian answered with a straight face.
Yumi stared at him but remained silent.
Old Master Darby waved his hand and smiled at Abbess Mother Serendipity. "Alright, you all may stay at my mansion. Shaolin and Emei have always had a good relationship, which will further improve our bond, so why not? We have plent of rooms here anyway."
Since they were all here already, he had no choice but to agree.
The Abbess Mother Serendipity was pleased. "Thank you, Mister Darby."
...
At the Oriental Pearl, Declan shouted with confidence as everyone arrived. "Get me the biggest VIP room here!"
There were almost 70 of them, and the Oriental Pearl had the room to accomodate all of them.
"Sir, may I please ask for you VIP card?" a staff member asked with a smile.
The Oriental Pearl only had one room that big, and it was usually used to accomodate VIPs. They would rather have it vacant than to allow ordinary guests to use it. Since the owner, Wayne Woodall, was not in today, the staff required a VIP card to enable them to use it.
Declan was shocked and shook his head. "I don't have a VIP card, but I don't lack any money. Just arrange it for me, will you?"
"I'm very sorry, Sir. We only open this room to our VIPs." the staff member apologized.
'What? Only the VIPs get to use it?' everyone thought as they looked at each other with mixed emotions.
It was the first time most of them had come here to dine at the Oriental Pearl, and lots of the girls had already posted photos online to show off.
Declan was shocked too. No wonder the Oriental Pearl was the fanciest hotel in Donghai City. You could not even have the VIP room without a VIP card.
Declan thought for a while and asked "Can I make one now?"
'It was just a VIP card. It shouldn't be so hard.' he thought.
The staff shook her head again. "I'm really sorry. We'll need our boss' signature to make one. Since he's not in right now, you can only apply for a standard membership."
'Damn it, you needed the boss' signature to make a card?' he thought.
Declan wanted to go to another restaurant, but he saw that the girls did not want to leave. A few of them had already posted on their social media with the caption [My class monitor's treating us to dinner at the Oriental Pearl.]
If he asked them to leave now, it would be embarrassing. As he began to panic, Circe Newman finally said something after being quiet for the whole time. "Why don't I try? I could try to call the owner."
'Wow! The goddess spoke!' everyone was shocked as they turned their gaze to her.
She was dressed in a tight top with dark denim jeans. She was cold, elegant, and very alluring. Everyone knew that Circe was the wealthiest in Kyoto; her contacts and connections were better than most of the rich kids in her class. If she spoke up, there must be a way.
Declan seemed pleased and smiled at Circe. "I'm so sorry to bother you with such a thing. Thank you!"
The staff was a woman, but even she could not help but look at Circe with admiration. "Sure, Madam. It would be great if you could phone our boss."
Circe nodded and picked up her phone. She called Wayne, but after a while, all she heard was "I'm sorry, the number you're calling is unavailable."
'It didn't go through.' she thought.
Everyone heard the phone go to voicemail. The smile on Declan's face disappeared too.
The staff tried her best to smile and said apologetically "I'm very sorry. I really don't have the right to let you have the room without a direct order from our boss."
She believed that this beautiful lady knew her boss, Wayne, but it was the rule. Without a direct order from Wayne, nobody could open up the room.
