The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109 The drive to the SVL Royal Hotel was a smooth and uneventful one. After more than 45 minutes of driving, Darius arrived at his destination.

Darius parked the car neatly and alighted from the vehicle. Just a simple glance at the cars parked told Darius how luxurious of a place SVL Royal Hotel was. It was even more impressive and lavish than the Sky Golden Hotel back at Kingston district. However, he didn‘t think too much about this. He then walked confidently towards the entrance to the hotel.

Two very muscular security guards were stationed at the entrance to the hotel. Darius was an awakened martial artist now so he could vaguely feel the strength of the two security guards. Although he felt he could easily defeat them, the fact that they could threaten him slightly proved that the security guards were elite.

The two security guards frowned slightly when they saw Darius approaching them confidently. He had come to the hotel dressed in the same casual clothing he wore back in the Reid mansion, so he looked very different from the usual big shots they were used to seeing.

The security guards instinctively looked down on him the moment they saw him. They thought that he was just here to experience the feeling of being in a world class hotel such as this one, which was normal. After all, after working here for a long time, they had seen their fair share of country bumpkins claiming to be someone important. They expected Darius to be the same.

Darius nodded politely at the two security guards and moved to enter the hotel, but the security guards immediately moved to block his view.

“Where is your invitation card Sir?” one of the security guards asked thoughtfully.

Darius was surprised when the security guards blocked his entry, but arched his brow when he heard their question. He had no idea that such cards were needed to enter the hotel.

“Sir, we can‘t allow you to pass through without an invitation or membership card.” The second security guard said disdainfully.

“I had no idea such cards were needed before entry. Could you please let me through just this once? I have an important meeting with an associate soon, and I don‘t want to miss it.” Darius pleaded sincerely.

The security guards scoffed loudly at Darius‘ reply. It was just as they expected. Darius was just a country bumpkin whose aim was to experience how it felt to be in a world class hotel. Hence, their tone took a sharp turn. “No. We‘re not allowed to grant entry if you don‘t have any of the aforementioned cards.” One of the security guards replied scornfully. This time around they didn‘t even bother to hide the contempt in their voice.

Initially, they were wary about Darius. After all, several people have been deceived by the casual appearance of some prominent figures, and dug their own downfall. This was why they probed Darius by asking if he had an invitation or membership card. The prominent figures all knew that invitation or membership cards were needed to enter the hotel, so the fact that Darius was ignorant of that common knowledge convinced them that he was here for sightseeing.

The truth was that one could still enter with or without the invitation or membership cards. However, they would never be allowed past the lobby of the hotel, as the other floors of the hotel needed the cards to be accessed.
