Chapter 1688 Someone Has Eyes on Them
Chapter 1688: Someone Has Eyes on Them Chapter 1688: Someone Has Eyes on Them Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The half-demon had a human body with cat-like features. She had a slender figure and an elegant demeanor. She greeted them politely, “Hello, welcome!
Would you like to stay in a room or just have some food and drinks?” “Two rooms!” Braydon Neal replied. He wasn’t about to stay with the little fool, especially with how Luke Yates sometimes snored and ground his teeth.
“Have you stayed at the Stargazing Hotel before?” the cat-eared girl asked.
“First time here,” Braydon answered.
“The rooms at the Stargazing Hotel vary in price depending on their size and floor level,” the girl explained patiently.
“Get us the best room!” Luke said. Money was not an issue for him, and making him suffer was nearly impossible.
The two top-tier rooms were quickly booked without any registration. Each room cost 100,000 star coins per night—quite steep, but the star coin had strong purchasing power. For context, 1,000 star coins could buy a saint realm slave, and 10,000 could buy any saint realm slave of your choice. Slave trade was common in the starry sky, and even life planets could be bought and sold. Native humans on these planets were also traded.
Braydon and Luke had plenty of star coins to buy many slaves, but they didn’t care about such things.
In their 500-square-meter room, Luke sat by the window, looking out at the view. He nibbled on a cucumber and said, “Brother, there are eternal creatures in this Stargazing Hotel!” “In the capital of the Milky Way Empire, it’s normal to encounter such beings,” Braydon said dismissively. Having recently fought tens of thousands of eternal lifeforms on the battlefield, he was not worried. With his current strength, even eternals could be cut through, so there was no reason to fear any eternal beings.
In reality, the Milky Way Empire fell under the jurisdiction of the Northern Stellar Realm. There were 36,000 galaxies in the Northern Stellar Realm, and the Milky Way Empire was considered insignificant at the bottom of the hierarchy. The Northern Stellar Realm paid them little attention.
The number of eternal cultivators in the Milky Way Empire could be counted on one hand. The ruler of the empire was a cultivator at the ninth level of the eternal realm, while path-returning realm cultivators were unheard of. As for the spirit body realm, it was just a fantasy for them.
While Braydon and his brother were staying at the Stargazing Hotel, they attracted unwanted attention. The purple-haired youth from earlier, along with the commander of the Milky Way Empire’s guards, an eternal cultivator, was keeping an eye on them.
Today, the commander reported receiving a nine-star black check. This raised his alertness because even the leader of the empire had never seen a nine-star black check. Such checks were rare and could only belong to either the descendants of powerful experts or core geniuses from major factions—individuals the Milky Way Empire could not afford to offend.
Since Braydon and Luke were staying at the Stargazing Hotel, the commander couldn’t approach them directly. Instead, he ordered his people to monitor the area outside the Stargazing Hotel and report any developments.
Standing by the window with his hands behind his back, Braydon smiled slightly and said, “Luke, we’re being watched.” “Who’s watching us?” Luke asked, peering outside with interest.
Outside the Stargazing Hotel, the purple-haired youth, along with his entourage, was blocking the entrance. The Stargazing Hotel staff had already come out to address the situation. A white-haired elder in the life and death realm went to the door to handle the matter.
“Young Master Zuber, is there something you need, or is this just a social visit?” The white-haired manager cupped his hands and bowed.
“You’re from the Stargazing Hotel,” Cash Zuber said through gritted teeth.
“You shield those who break the laws of the empire, and now you’re questioning me?” “The guards should have arrested him long ago for breaking the laws of the empire instead of allowing him into the inner city.
Besides, the Stargazing Hotel has its own rules.
Once someone enters this building, they are under the hotel’s protection!” The white-haired manager didn’t inquire further and made the Stargazing Hotel’s position clear. This was why the Stargazing Hotel was so expensive and popular—guests could stay without worry.
Cash knew it was futile to expect the Stargazing Hotel’s cooperation, so he had brought a person of high status along. With this person present, the Stargazing Hotel would have to show some respect, no matter how haughty they were.
“The Stargazing Hotel has its own rules, that’s true,” the yellow-robed youth said, holding a folding fan.
“But the empire has its own rules as well.” “Third Prince!” The white-haired manager bowed deeply.
The youth in question was Grady Schuster, the third son of the current ruler of the Milky Way Empire.
Grady smiled faintly.
“Let them come out.
Some matters are best discussed face to face.
They can’t stay hidden in the Stargazing Hotel forever.
What do you say?” “Please come in!” After a moment’s hesitation, the white-haired manager invited them inside.
However, a stern-looking middle-aged man behind Grady frowned slightly, having noticed something odd about the Stargazing Hotel. He warned, “Third Young Master, there is an eternal being inside.” “Uncle Lofton, you’re being overly cautious,” Grady said with a hint of disdain.
“In the capital of the Milky Way Empire, would the Stargazing Hotel dare to challenge the prince?
They would be courting death!
Besides, I’ve been looking for an opportunity to recruit this eternal being from the Stargazing Hotel.
Today might be it!” As for Cash’s issue, Grady planned to handle it on the side. He was assisting Cash because Cash’s father was second only to the leader of the Milky Way Empire. Grady only chose to help due to the formidable backing behind Cash; otherwise, he wouldn’t have bothered with someone he considered useless.
Upstairs, Braydon looked down and said calmly, “The Third Prince of the Milky Way Empire should know quite a bit.
Luke, bring him here.
I have a few questions for him.” “Don’t worry, I’ll handle it!” Luke replied, immediately getting to work.
He quickly left the Stargazing Hotel, and in the blink of an eye, he re-entered and followed Grady and his entourage. Quietly, he drew a sword from his waist.
“Be careful!” warned the cold middle-aged man protecting Grady. As an eternal, he sensed something amiss with the person trailing behind them.
The little fool, ever sharp, had donned a mask. He approached with a smiling facade.
Without exchanging words, the confrontation began.
Grady’s face darkened as he stepped back, his anger rising.
“An assassin?
Who sent you?!” “I’m a greenhorn!” Luke shouted, charging forward.
He launched his attack immediately.
Nine supremes.
Son of Heaven Combat Technique!
Combining nine supremes into one, the aura was overwhelming!
The blade descended, slashing through eternity!
With a single stroke, Luke decapitated the eternal, shocking Grady. Cash, stunned, was swiftly dealt with by Luke to prevent any future issues.
As for the middle-aged man who was a new eternal, Luke slashed at him instantly, though he spared his life. Defeating an eternal was easy, but killing one was a much greater challenge.
Luke grabbed Grady, ready to flee, when a deep voice resonated from the top floor of the Stargazing Hotel, “Young man, are you really robbing people in my Stargazing Hotel?
Aren’t you a bit too arrogant?
Pfft!”
