The reason Henry chose such a hotel was very simple.
The more elegant and classy the place was, the more it could present the difference between the wealthy and the poor.
Take the restaurant they were in for example, those who could dine there were either rich or noble. That was how the rules of society were. If one wanted to be wealthy or noble, they had to rely on their backings. Every guest in there, except for Henry and his friends, had ties with either one of the three major powers.
As for how the three superpowers got along with each other, it could be observed from the conversations of those people and the changes of their expressions when they interacted.
For example, the centre area of the restaurant was where the best seats were. Two people were seated there. They mentioned the Martial King many times in their conversation, it was obvious that they had ties with the Martial King.
However, at the table next to them were men obviously dressed up as members of Sword Valley, and had swords hanging from their waists.
Although those men of the Sword Valley were seated right next to them, it was obvious that they had little to care for while they spoke. They also spoke much louder than those who were seated around them. Those who were under the Martial King's protection would sometimes speak a little louder and glance subconsciously towards the table where the people of Sword Valley were seated. It was obvious that they were very cautious towards the people of Sword Valley.
This meant that Sword Valley completely overpowered the Martial King, and that the both forces were probably not very close with each other.
As for Sword Valley and the Thousand Blades Academy, they were in cahoots with each other, and were friendly and very polite to each other.
"Boss, what do you think we should do? Beat up that Martial King?"
"I say we knock him out and tie him up. So what if he's a Supremacy Master? Well beat him stupid in just a few minutes."
"Or we'll barge into his house, we can take care of that. Then, Boss, you can go and snatch sister-in-law back. That'll show the Martial King who the real daddy is."
Wade and the others spoke one after one excitedly.
Future accidentally knocked a glass to the ground and shattered it as she waved her hand excitedly.
Wade snapped his fingers and a waiter walked over to him.
"Clean this up and bring her a new glass."
Wade ordered.
The waiter bent down, and picked the broken pieces of glass, then got up and turned around. The first thing he did after turning around was to look around him. Diners at several tables shook their heads slightly at the waiter.
The waiter turned his head a little to look at Henry's table after receiving the responses from the several tables.
Henry and his friends did not notice the waiter's slight movements at all. They carried on chatting in a low voice. Just as they were chatting excitedly, a middle-aged man strode over to their table.
"Dear Sirs, this is the new glass you asked for."
The middle-aged man placed a brand new glass onto the table, then turned on his communication device and said, "Now Dear Sirs, may I know who shall pay for the damages just now?"
Wade frowned slightly. "Can't you just include it in
our bill?"
"Dear Sirs, allow me to explain."
The middle- aged man bowed slightly. "These glasses of our restaurant is relatively expensive, so I'm afraid you'd have to pay for it in advance."
Although the middle- aged man seemed very polite, the arrogance on his face was clearly witnessed by everyone.
Back on the Surface, Wade and the others stood high above the others. At the Core, they had also occupied quite a bit of territory. The Seven Protectors of the Mountain Heng were well-known in Wanshan District, every one of them carried themselves with great pride. Having received such treatment, it was impossible for them to not feel any anger.
"What? Do you think we can't afford to pay for it?"
Wade glared at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man replied with a smile, "Dear Sirs, I definitely do not think that is so, but I'd still suggest that the fee for damages be paid first."
Wade was about to lose her temper when Henry patted him on the shoulder and said, "Forget it. Maybe that's their rule. How much is it?"
The middle-aged man smiled. "500,000 yuan."
Henry, who was about to pay for the broken glass, was stunned by this amount.
"500,000?"
Henry and the others were all used to seeing luxury goods, and they could see what was going on with those glasses. It was indeed made of high-quality material, so they believed that a few hundred yuan would be enough to pay for these glasses based on the average earnings of the people in the Core. However, to be charged 500,000 yuan for a glass was outrageous, it was daylight robbery!
Henry put away his communicator and said, "I need to see your manager."
"Look no further, I am the manager."
