The old man with sses looked up at the man with slicked-back hair, puzzled. “Didn’t we already book


    Glory Hotel? Why are we suddenly booking the Empire Hotel?”


    The man with slicked-back hair chuckled awkwardly. “You said you couldn’t attend the Southern Martial


    Alliance celebration back then, so we booked the Glory Hotel. But since you suddenly changed your


    mind, the Glory Hotel is naturally unfitting for you.”


    “How absurd. This is a five-star hotel. How isn’t enough? Are you looking for a pce?” Artoile Golde


    red.


    Sicard Danse smiled and replied, “It’s just to avoid making you feel ufortable!”


    “Ufortable? When have I everined when sle in a dead man’s pit? Have I everined


    when sleeping in shelter or the desert?”


    Artoile lost interest in the game. He stood up and walked to th couch with his hands behind his back.


    Anderson Jones held his breath. He regretted reporting this mat front of the general. If he had


    completed the task, everything wo have been fine.


    However, since he had not, what would the general think? Would h think the Southern Territory to be


    ipetent? That they could not even secure a single hotel?


    Sicard red at Anderson fiercely. You useless piece of trash. How did you fail to even handle such a


    small matter?”


    Anderson straightened up and endured the scolding.


    In their hierarchy, higher-ranking officials had more authority. Being the colonel and the one who


    promoted Anderson, Sicard was not the one whose dignity was threatened by scolding him.


    Anderson whispered, “Mr. Sicard, the person who bought the Empire


    Hotel doesn’t even have an ounce of respect for us.”


    Standing with his hands behind his back, Sicard nced at the


    Warden sitting on the couch drinking tea and lowered his voice. “What do you mean?”


    Anderson covered his mouth and began to speak in a hushed tone. A frosty expression appeared on


    Sicard’s face.


    “What conversation is it that I’m not allowed to listen to?” Arteile


    asked as he sipped his tea, casting a sharp gaze at the two


    Feeling the piercing gaze, the two immediately straightened


    “Report, Anderson is experiencing a stomach ache and need the restroom!”

    Anderson immediately hunched over, furrowing his brows as if he were really enduring a stomachache


    Artoile waved his hand. “Do whatever you need to do. Don’t distur my meditation!”


    The two saluted and left the room one after the other.


    Back in Sicard’s room next door, his expression turned grave as he said, “Go and find out who bought


    the Empire Hotel!”


    “Should I bring some men over and cause trouble?” Anderson suggested. After all, he was also a


    major. Getting rejected today made him very unhappy.


    Sicard sneered, “The Empire Hotel is a five-star chain hotel with capital control behind it. Do you think


    it’s easy for someone to buy it independently from the capital in just one hour?”


    Anderson was not convinced. “Even if he’s not a simple person, does he have the guts to oppose the


    South Army? The South belongs to the South Army!”


    He thought his superior was a bit cowardly andcking the demeanor a colonel should have.


    Sicard narrowed his eyes and said, “Go and do what yo nt, then!”


    “Yes, sir!” Anderson saluted with a standard military sal turning and leaving.


    At the Empire Hotel, Yellow Crane, who joined the meeting, wa yawning incessantly.


    Eric tapped his fingers on the table and suddenly said, “Do you there’ll be Profound Oriental Realm


    experts in the Southern Mar Alliance?”


    Everyone immediately shivered. After their discussion, they believed that as long as there were no


    more than 20 Mystique Loyalty Realm experts in the Southern Martial Alliance, the seven of them


    would be able to handle them easily.


    When Eric mentioned the Profound Oriental Realm, however, everyone began to worry!


    On the surface, the Mystique Loyalty Realm was considered the ceiling of the martial world. Above the


    Mystique Loyalty Real, however, was the Profound Oriental Realm, which was beyond the martial


    world. Those at that level were akin to heavenly beings.


    At this moment, Regulus spoke up, “Enemies maye from all directions, but we’re not afraid. I was


    actually hoping to encounter a Profound Oriental Realm expert to test my skills!”
