Chapter 314: The Visit from the Former Fiancée
Ryan stood dumbfounded outside the pen of the giant horned mighty bull, watching it leisurely munching on grass. The giant horned mighty bull was a very docile magical beast, and under Ryan's gaze, it showed no reaction, occasionally just flicking its ears.
After a long time of staring at the bull's massive horns, Ryan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly walked up to the giant horned mighty bull, reaching out to touch its horns.
This frightened both Magili and Wei Lin. Although the bull had been behaving very gently, they knew that you could never tell when it might suddenly turn aggressive. They rushed forward to stop her but were too late; Ryan had already touched the bull's horns.
However, the giant horned mighty bull showed no reaction, as if it hadn’t felt anything at all, continuing to chew on its feed leisurely.
Seeing this, Wei Lin and Magili relaxed a bit. However, their curiosity about the magical beast grew, and they couldn't resist touching the giant horned mighty bull's horns as well.
The bull, however, remained unfazed, seemingly indifferent to being surrounded by people, continuing to eat its grass.
Ryan, observing the gentle giant horned mighty bull, grew fonder of it. She turned to Wei Lin and asked, “Wei Lin, who does this bull belong to? Tell me, I want to buy it.”
Wei Lin smiled wryly and replied, “Your Highness, you know our hotel’s rules; we cannot casually disclose the identities of our guests. To be honest, from what I've seen of that guest, he doesn’t seem like someone who would sell this bull.”
Ryan snorted, “Stop with the useless chatter. I didn’t ask who he is; just tell me where he’s staying, and you don’t need to worry about anything else.”
Wei Lin smiled wryly again; he knew that this young lady was not someone to offend. After all, she was quite unreasonable. Besides, their hotel would never disclose guest information, but if someone came to visit that guest, they would comply.
Wei Lin told Ryan Zhao Hai's room number. Being quite familiar with Shelley Grand Hotel, Ryan instantly recognized that it was one of the top guest rooms in the hotel; aside from the small courtyard in the back, it had the best accommodations available.
However, she also felt at ease; although Ryan was quite arrogant, she wasn’t foolish. She reasoned that Zhao Hai’s identity was likely ordinary, otherwise, he would have surely reserved the small courtyard.
In reality, her thoughts were correct. Zhao Hai's identity was indeed ordinary at the moment. He couldn’t use the identity of the Budah Family, and Laura couldn’t reveal hers either. This meant that both of them effectively lacked noble status, only having Zhao Hai's identity as a mage to protect them, which obviously would not garner attention from the major nobles.
Magili seemed to understand this young lady better than Wei Lin, so he didn’t bother to persuade Ryan and simply followed her inside the hotel.
Shelley Grand Hotel had six floors. The sixth floor had the best rooms, the fifth floor was slightly inferior, the fourth floor was even worse, the third floor was the restaurant, the second floor housed meeting rooms and recreational areas, while the first floor was the reception hall and some ordinary guest rooms.
Zhao Hai's group was on the sixth floor, while Xu Wanying and the Wood were on the fifth. Although Xu Wanying appeared to have a higher status than Wood, he knew very well that in Zhao Hai's heart, he could never compare to Wood and Stone. Wood and Stone had grown up alongside Zhao Hai, willing to sacrifice their lives for him at any moment, and Zhao Hai regarded them as brothers. Therefore, even though Xu Wanying acted more superior in front of the hotel staff, once they were inside the room, he became very low-key.
Zhao Hai's group had no particular intentions; they just wanted to take a look around Casa City and pass through on their way to the Isaac Family's territory, so they aimed to remain as low-profile as possible.
