Of course, it wasn’t just them who were surprised. Even the blonde receptionist was stunned. Seeing a country bumpkin like Chen Fei casually throw around ten thousand British Pounds made her uneasy. She stared at his expressionless face, and though a sense of dread welled up inside her, she forced herself to hold her ground.

”Hmph, ten thousand British Pounds?” she snapped. ”Do you really think we British people are idiots? With this card I’ve never seen before, you claim to have ten thousand Pounds? You truly are a classless person from Huaxia, knowing only how to lie and deceive.”

She turned to the security guards. ”What are you all standing around for? Are you just going to watch this kind of person make a scene in our hotel? Throw them out! Hurry up, get them out of here!”

”Sir, you should put your money away. I’ll process your check-in immediately,” the long-haired receptionist with wheat-colored skin said, stepping in. She clearly hadn’t seen Chen Fei’s black card before and assumed it was fake. While speaking to Chen Fei, she whispered to her colleague, ”Selina, you need to shut up. Stop talking.”

”What’s going on? What happened?”

Just then, a man in a suit, about 1.9 meters tall, approached from nearby. The blonde receptionist, Selina, and her wheat-skinned colleague froze.

”Oh, darling, why are you on duty today? Weren’t you supposed to be off?” Selina asked, a hint of guilt in her eyes, forcing a smile.

”Xiuu De had an emergency, so we swapped shifts,” the tall man said with a frown. ”Selina, what’s going on? Why is there so much noise?”

Hearing this, Selina immediately put on an aggrieved expression and was the first to complain. ”Oh, darling, you have no idea! These two people from Huaxia are making a scene here…”

”Making a scene?” The manager’s brow furrowed slightly. He moved past Selina and walked toward Chen Fei. ”Sir, I apologize. Perhaps there has been some misunderstanding with Selina. I apologize to you on her behalf. Are you here to check into our hotel? I’ll have the staff process your registration right away.”

”A misunderstanding? I don’t think this is a misunderstanding at all.” Chen Fei shook his head. ”May I ask, in the eyes of your hotel, do you treat guests from Huaxia differently than you treat guests from America?”

”Of course not! At the Park Tower Knight Hotel, every guest is equally esteemed. That has always been our policy!” the man in the suit declared solemnly.

”But she doesn’t seem to think so.” Chen Fei pointed at Selina, who was standing behind the manager. His gaze returned to the man as he recounted everything that had happened, then added coolly, ”Since you’re the manager of this hotel, I think you owe me an explanation. If your hotel doesn’t welcome people from Huaxia, my friend and I can turn around and leave right now.”

”An explanation? Who do you think you are, expecting my darling to explain himself to a yellow-skinned monkey from Huaxia like you?” Selina exploded, her face twisting in mockery. ”If you don’t want to stay at our hotel, then just scram! I’ll have you know, our Park Tower Knight Hotel is one of London’s top Five-Star hotels. We don’t need guests like you!” Clearly, with her darling here, what was there to fear? This man from Huaxia was simply getting ahead of himself!

”Shut up!” the manager snapped. ”Selina, what nonsense are you spouting? Apologize to the guest right now!”

However, the reprimand was completely half-hearted. The manager then turned his gaze back to Chen Fei, acting as if nothing had happened and he hadn’t heard a thing. ”Sir, do you still wish to check into our hotel? If so, we can process your registration now.”

Clearly, in his eyes, this was a trivial matter. All they wanted was to check in early, right? Checking them in now should solve everything.

”No wonder a mere receptionist dares to be so arrogant toward guests. It seems she has powerful backing,” Chen Fei retorted.

His words instantly made the manager’s face darken, and his tone became noticeably less polite. ”Sir, please watch your words. This is a hotel; there is no such thing as ’backing’. Do you still require a room?”

”Oh, is that so?” Chen Fei’s lips curved into a faint, cold smile.

”Hey, just let it go…” Feng Lu whispered in Chinese, tugging on his sleeve. She was worried he would act rashly out of pride. Even a fool could see that the manager was completely on the blonde receptionist’s side, so what was the point of making a bigger scene? Besides, anyone who could become a manager at a top-tier London Five-Star Hotel was no ordinary person. Making such a fuss over something so trivial was completely unnecessary.

”Since this is a hotel, then fine,” Young Master Chen said, his voice indifferent but clear. ”How many rooms do you have left? Book all of them for me. Every single one.”

The words stunned everyone. Not only did the faces of the manager and Selina change on the spot, but even the wealthy socialites who had been watching the spectacle from a distance were left dumbfounded, their eyes drawn back to Chen Fei. Book all the remaining rooms in the Park Tower Knight Hotel, without exception? What was this man from Huaxia’s background? This was no laughing matter.

”Sir, please don’t joke around,” the manager said, his expression turning strange as his eyes flickered. Chen Fei’s boast was so immense that it was starting to scare him. Having worked his way up to the manager position at the Park Tower Knight Hotel, he was certainly no fool. Who but an ordinary person would dare say something like that in their hotel? Impossible!

”Oh, darling, see? This person from Huaxia is a fraud!” Selina thought she had seized her chance. A smug look on her face, she tried to order the security guards again. ”What are you all waiting for? Get these two troublemakers out of our hotel! How dare he claim he’s going to book all the remaining rooms at the Park Tower Knight Hotel? He thinks…”

”A joke? Do you think I’m joking?” Chen Fei ignored her completely. He picked up the Centurion Black Card from the counter and held it out in front of the manager. ”Do you recognize this card?” he asked coldly. ”If not, call your supervisor. Tell them there’s a Centurion Black Card down here and have them come verify it. I’ll say it one more time: book every single remaining room in this hotel for me. Now.”

”This… is this a Yuntong Centurion Black Card!?” The manager’s face drained of color. His gaze was fixed on the black card in Chen Fei’s hand, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead. A look of sheer horror crept into his eyes. As the manager of a top London Five-Star hotel like the Park Tower Knight Hotel, he had certainly heard of the legendary ’King of the World Black Cards,’ even if he had never seen one in his life. He never imagined an Easterner could produce such a thing... If it was real, then the man’s identity...

The mere thought of it made him tremble uncontrollably, his face turning deathly pale as sweat poured down. He suddenly realized he had been dragged into a massive problem. If the man was truly qualified to possess that legendary card, what kind of terrifying background and status must he have? Even the owner of the Park Tower Knight Hotel probably couldn’t compare, could he?

”Do you not understand what I’m saying?” Young Master Chen seemed to be getting impatient. ”I asked if you recognize this card. If you don’t, call your superior. Don’t tell me that in a Five-Star hotel this large, you can’t find a single person who can identify this card.”

”No, sir, I, you…” The manager was sweating profusely, his face deathly white. His limbs felt weak. He couldn’t imagine what he would do if the card turned out to be genuine! The holder of the legendary ’King of the World Black Cards’... Dealing with a minor character like him would be as easy as crushing an ant, wouldn’t it? They were on completely different levels.

At that thought, he shuddered violently and suddenly bowed low, forcing an obsequious smile. ”S-sir, please wait a moment. I will immediately check how many vacant rooms we have left.”

”Honey, what’s wrong with you? What are you doing!?” Selina was completely dumbfounded, her face paling as she stared in disbelief. Booking all the remaining rooms in the Park Tower Knight Hotel? If this wasn’t a joke or him just causing trouble, what was it? C-could his card really cover that much money? But... but... but... how could that be possible?! Even if the card could handle that much, who would be willing to squander so much money so indiscriminately?! Un-unless... unless that man from Huaxia was really so rich that he didn’t care about ’this little amount’ at all... But if that were true, then what kind of terrifying background and identity must he have?!
