“Alchemy furnace?” Janet’s indifferent tone was tinged with suspicion.
Morris has never mentioned that there is a second alchemy furnace in this world, and it so happens that the alchemy furnace is in Markovia. If it were to fall into Damien’s hands, it would stir up trouble within the group, without a doubt. However, this might also be a trap set by Damien to lure me to Markovia.
After weighing her options, Janet booked the earliest flight to Markovia in the end.
After getting off the flight, Janet made her way straight to the hotel she booked.
Markovia’s Royale Hotel was nearest to the auction venue. Therefore, it wouldn’t be a problem for her to rush over at night when the auction started.
“Madam, good day to you! May I know if you have a reservation?” asked the lady receptionist at the front desk politely.
Janet was just about to present her booking information on her phone when a nouveau riche, who was clad in gold, pushed her aside from behind suddenly. “Move aside! I got here first.”
“Madam, my apologies, but this madam was here first.” The front desk receptionist had a very friendly attitude.
The nouveau riche, who was dangling in gold, glanced at Janet in contempt. “Are you here to participate in the underground auction too?”
I am one of the regular customers of the auction. Why is this young girl, who is wearing cheap clothes and carrying a school bag, participating in this auction? This is utterly absurd.
Janet squinted at the woman without responding to her. Then, she completely ignored the nouveau riche.
Seeing as Janet remained silent, the woman hazarded a few guesses.
After that, she snorted in disdain. “I especially hate women like you who rely on men to enjoy premium hotels.”
Women nowadays are becoming men’s mistresses at such a young age. After glancing at Janet again, the woman thought to herself, She’s barely 18 years old. Who would have thought that she would be such a filthy woman?
The receptionist at the front desk wiped her sweat away while suppressing the urge to cover the woman’s mouth. What a foul mouth.
Then, the receptionist turned to Janet while smiling at her. “Madam, please pay 1000 as a deposit. You can claim your deposit at the front desk when you check out.”
Janet nodded in response, and she kept rummaging through her bag. However, after gathering all her cash in hand, she found that she didn’t have enough.
At that moment, an old and sleazy-looking middle-aged man approached them from behind. “Why is checking in taking such a long time?”
The sleazy middle-aged man glanced at Janet, and his eyes gleamed with lust.
“Hmph! This little bumpkin can’t even cough up a deposit of 1000. She made me wait in line for such a long time!” the woman clad in gold complained unhappily.
Upon hearing that, the sleazy man gave Janet another once-over with a lewd expression on his face. “Why don’t I pay for you as an older brother?”
The sleazy man was particularly fond of young and innocent girls so the moment he saw Janet, he had wanted to lay his hands on her.
Janet squinted at him and secretly scoffed. This man is 50 years old at the very least but he has the audacity to refer to himself as an older brother.
After that, Janet whipped out a Black Card from her pocket and placed it on the counter. “I’ll pay by card!” she stated indifferently.
