Chapter 459 420: Membership Card Copier
After Zhao Rong dealt with the disciples from the Wild Wolf Sect and handed them over to the police, he swaggered out of the hotel with Lili, Yu Lan, Xuelian, and his assistant in tow. As they approached the hotel entrance, the owner suddenly charged straight toward them.
Zhao Rong stared at the fierce-looking hotel owner, startled. He took a step back and warned the others, "This guy looks like a disciple of the Wild Wolf Sect. Everyone, get ready to fight. This man is definitely up to no good…"
But before Zhao Rong could finish his sentence, the hotel owner rushed over and immediately dropped to his knees before him. When Zhao Rong realized the man wasn't a disciple of the Wild Wolf Sect but the hotel owner, there to express his gratitude, he asked in surprise, "Sir, you're the owner of this hotel, aren't you?"
The hotel owner suddenly kowtowed to Zhao Rong in thanks. "Big Brother, I'm the one who should be calling you Big Brother! My hotel has been open for so many years, and all this time, it's been oppressed and dominated by the Wild Wolf Sect. Although I loathe these villains and wish I could tear them to pieces, I've always been too afraid of their retaliation. So, I just chose to swallow my pride and bear it.
"I honestly thought my life was over and that I would be bullied by the Wild Wolf Sect forever. I never imagined that in my middle age, I would suddenly meet a young hero like you! You not only beat up these disciples but also turned them all over to the police! What's more impressive is that you didn't fall for the trap set by those three stunning assassins. Instead, you turned the tables on them and handed them over to the police as well! Young hero, by coming to our hotel, you've rounded up all these evildoers in one fell swoop, leaving none behind! From now on, our hotel can finally operate normally and open to the public without fear of being bullied, oppressed, or even occupied by the Wild Wolf Sect."
With that, the hotel owner took out a stack of membership cards from his pocket and offered them to Zhao Rong. "Big Brother, take these. You'll definitely find some services you like…"
Zhao Rong was taken aback. He glanced at the cards and saw that the photos on them were all of stunningly beautiful women with incredible figures. He couldn't help but take the cards from the owner, looking at them one by one. "Boss, what kind of membership cards are these?"
Seeing that Zhao Rong had accepted the cards, the owner quickly scrambled to his feet and began to explain each one. "Big Brother, this first card is for our hotel's bath center. With this card, you can come to our bath center anytime, and no matter what package or service you choose, it's all completely free."
Zhao Rong was instantly stunned. He pointed to the photo of the beautiful woman on the card and asked, "Does your hotel's bath center really have women this beautiful?"
The owner replied with a smile, "Of course! They're the signature of our bath center."
The assistant standing behind Zhao Rong overheard this. He snatched the card, stuffed it into his own pocket, and said to Zhao Rong, "Brother Zhao, I'll hold onto this first one for you. Please, Boss, continue with the second, third, fourth, and fifth cards."
The owner enthusiastically continued, "This second membership card is called the 'Imperial Finger Sovereign' card. With it, whenever you come to our hotel's Jade Finger Room, a beautiful woman will be there to use her jade fingers to…"
Zhao Rong was completely baffled. "What 'Imperial Finger Sovereign'? What beautiful woman using her jade fingers for me? Can you please explain clearly?"
The owner replied awkwardly, "Young man, have you never experienced 'Imperial Finger Sovereign' before?" He glanced from Zhao Rong to the assistant, and a look of understanding dawned on his face. He quickly turned to the assistant. "Young man, based on my years of experience, I can tell by your face that you're a frequent patron of 'Imperial Finger Sovereign.' So, could you please explain to this young hero what it is?"
With a sly grin, the assistant leaned in and whispered a detailed explanation into Zhao Rong's ear.
When Zhao Rong finally understood the true meaning of "Imperial Finger Sovereign," his eyes widened in shock. He quickly accepted the card, exclaiming, "My god, I never imagined 'Imperial Finger Sovereign' was so… I'll take this one!"
The owner went on to the third card. "This one is for 'Salt Beating and Oil Pushing.'"
Hearing more professional jargon, Zhao Rong, still confused, turned to his assistant again. "Assistant, get over here and explain this. I need to decide if I want this third card."
The experienced assistant explained, "'Salt beating' is when you're in the front, and a beauty is in the back. And 'oil pushing' is when she's in the front, and you're in the back."
Zhao Rong understood instantly. A smile spread across his face as he imagined the beautiful scene. He turned back to the owner. "Boss, keep explaining the rest of the cards!"
The owner then explained the remaining eight membership cards to Zhao Rong one by one. After he finished, he gave the entire stack of over a dozen cards to Zhao Rong for free.
As Zhao Rong held the free cards, he couldn't help but think.
Success comes when you least expect it. I came to this Serenity Hotel today just to deal with those three assassins and the Wild Wolf Sect. I never thought I'd end up saving a luxury hotel from the brink of bankruptcy. Not only that, but I also made friends with a generous owner. Best of all, he gave me so many free membership cards! And I never would have guessed the services they offer would be so varied and dazzling…
However, just as Zhao Rong was happily leaving the hotel with his new cards, the three women blocked his path.
Lili held out her right hand, frowning at Zhao Rong. "Brother Zhao, what are you waiting for? To prevent you from making a mistake, you need to hand over all of those cards. Now."
Zhao Rong froze.
How could I have been so careless? I completely forgot the three of them were standing right behind me when I accepted the owner's cards. If I'd known they would stop me, I would've used a minor Blinding Trick so they couldn't see me take them. But it's too late now.
Defeated, Zhao Rong pulled all the membership cards from his pocket and handed them to Lili. "Fine. If you want them, take them all."
As soon as Lili had the cards, she pulled a pair of scissors from her pocket. Right in front of Zhao Rong and the assistant, she snipped the cards into tiny pieces.
As the shredded cards fell, the assistant, standing behind Zhao Rong, felt a wave of relief.
Thank God I secretly hid a few cards. Otherwise, if Miss Lili had seen them all, Brother Zhao and I wouldn't get to enjoy any of these packages…
Just as the assistant was smirking to himself, Yu Lan stepped forward, grabbed the collar of his shirt, and slapped him twice. "Assistant, don't think I didn't see you sneak two cards from Zhao Rong and hide them in your pocket. Hand them over right now, or I'll cut off what's down there."
As she spoke, Yu Lan produced a scalpel from her pocket.
When the assistant saw the gleaming scalpel in her hand, he immediately chickened out. He hastily pulled the two hidden cards from his pocket and pleaded, "Beautiful Yu Lan, I'll be honest, I only hid these two! I'm giving them to you now, please don't cut anything off!"
He quickly handed the last two membership cards to Yu Lan. She took them, tossed them into the air, and with a flash of her scalpel, used her fastest Sword Technique to dice them into confetti.
Watching the last of the membership cards get destroyed, the assistant was heartbroken. All the way back, he cried on Zhao Rong's shoulder.
Zhao Rong quietly comforted him. "Stop crying. What's there to cry about?"
With tears and snot streaming down his face, the assistant wailed, "In my entire life, I've never seen so many options, so many packages! And they were free bath center membership cards! But now they've been confiscated by the three of them! It's such a terrible waste!"
Before the assistant could finish, Zhao Rong pulled a small device from his pocket. "As long as we have this gadget," he said, holding up a membership card duplicator, "we don't have to worry about them confiscating our cards."
The assistant stared at the device in amazement. "Big Brother, what is that thing? Can it really… Can it actually make perfect copies of all the cards they confiscated?"
Without waiting for him to finish, Zhao Rong pressed the red button. Within ten seconds, the duplicator spit out exact replicas of all the previously shredded membership cards.
As the assistant saw the dozen or so recovered cards back in Zhao Rong's hands, he laughed through his tears, absolutely thrilled.
