Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!
Chapter 1273 - 1274 Double Standards

Chapter 1273: Chapter 1274 Double Standards

"Damaged items can be compensated by the District Government afterwards," said the Hua City player.

But the receptionist didn’t relent, insisting that they check in before allowing them to enter.

Xu Huo was in the lobby watching the commotion.

There were quite a few people watching, and a fat man standing next to him turned to call him and said, "Anyway, someone has to pay, so who pays doesn’t matter. Why isn’t the Eternal Star Hotel letting them in?"

"And the people from Hua City are so stubborn. Anyway, if someone pays, just stay first!"

The reason is simple: the former is due to the rules of the Eternal Star Hotel. Although it seems to respect the District Government, in truth, it’s not on the same level as the Hengxing Group or the Base Government. The hotel deals with players; players are its main focus. District Government? Not a chance.

Besides, the Eternal Star Hotel is not responsible for debt collection.

As for why the Hua City people didn’t check in, there could be two reasons. One is that the government simply wouldn’t foot the bill for them. Once they check in, the debt falls on each player individually, and by that time, grabbing people becomes impossible, and even a larger step requires considering if they’d bump into decorations in the corridor.

Another possibility stems from personal considerations.

Of course, the players from Hua City don’t seem to lack money. Forget about the government, even the assets of those rich young masters in clubs aren’t to be underestimated. Still, the cost of achieving a goal versus not achieving it is different. Their main aim in proposing to search the hotel is actually to force people out of the hotel, not to fight directly inside it.

"Basically, they just don’t have the guts," the fat player laughed, drawing glances from Hua City players.

"What are you looking at?" the fat player didn’t flinch, "If you have money, come in and fight!"

The Hua City players left dejectedly once more, and the fat player asked the receptionist, "They won’t sneak in at night, will they?"

The receptionist replied with a smile, "Please trust the hotel’s security."

"Then I’m relieved." The fat player laughed, waving at everyone, "Even if they pop their eyeballs out, they won’t get into the hotel. Let’s go, let’s go, back to sleep."

Because of the sudden appearance of a sword-wielding player and the ground collapsing, quite a few players emerged from the city center, and some stayed at the Eternal Star Hotel without leaving.

"When I become a Rank-A player, I’ll turn Hua City upside down!"

Players who narrowly escaped calamity were somewhat irritated, gathered to boast briefly before going back to their rooms.

As Xu Huo opened the door, he saw someone sitting on the sofa, and the thick smell of blood suddenly hit his nose. He stood at the doorway staring at the person, "How did you get in?"

A haggard middle-aged man raised a small piece of shadow fragment he held, apologizing, "Sorry, I followed you to get to the hotel."

Even sitting, the man’s wounds burst open again in the time it took to speak, almost instantly soaking his clothes. The exposed skin, where his protective suit was damaged, was filled with similar fine scars, but those were old injuries, while the reopening wounds were fresh.

This man was the Rank-A player who attacked Kairo Field earlier.

"I’m severely injured and can’t move for now, you don’t have to worry about me harming you," the man said.

Xu Huo had already closed the door, picked up a water glass, but stopped as he looked at the man, "How long will your wounds keep bursting?"

The man drank a self-healing potion. Under the dual effect of the potion and the super regenerative ability of a Rank-A player, the bleeding slowed, and the wounds visibly started to heal towards the center, only to soon burst open again without external force, flowing fresh blood once more.

"The prop indeed has delayed damage," Xu Huo’s gaze darkened.

"The Rank-A players of the Feld Family are quite formidable," the man leaned against the edge of the sofa, sighing deeply, "Even among Rank-A players, some can rival super players, while others are inferior to Rank-B players. Strength is uncertain. I’ve been seriously injured under him five times."

"I can tell," Xu Huo observed. The scars on the man’s body were quite similar, "Five times and still no success? Haven’t thought of another way?"

"Most comrades with the same goal have died," the man said with a hint of sadness, "One day, I’ll die on this path too."

Xu Huo ignored his sentimentality and continued leaning against the bar at a distance, "The other side failed to kill you several times, isn’t that sparing you?"

The man glanced up at him, "You’re quite blunt for a young man."

Xu Huo chuckled, "About tonight’s events, Kairo Field indeed deserves to die."

The man, however, shook his head, "Kairo stood by without intervening; those beasts from Hua City did inhuman deeds. What did it have to do with him?"

Xu Huo raised an eyebrow, "You have a deep personal feud?"

"He killed my wife," the man said.

"My condolences," Xu Huo said impassively.

The severely injured man seemed lost in his emotions, reminiscing, "I can’t deny he is incredibly charming. Even as a man, I have to admit that. So I could understand her falling for him, but Kairo shouldn’t have been so indifferent, watching her commit suicide without stopping her..."

"If I may ask, how old was your wife?" Xu Huo interrupted.

"A woman three years older is like holding a gold brick; I’m forty-six," the man said nostalgically, "We were so happy when we just got married. It was Kairo who ruined everything."

"If my eyesight isn’t failing me, Kairo Field is only in his twenties," Xu Huo pointed out.

"So what?" the man replied self-righteously with a double standard, "She took a liking to him, and that’s his blessing!"

Xu Huo was speechless, casually opening the communicator.

"What are you doing?" the man’s voice suddenly turned cold.

"Booking another room," Xu Huo looked him straight in the eye, "As you said, some Rank-A players can match super players, and perhaps there are Rank-C players who can fight Rank-A players, especially when the latter is severely injured."

Their eyes met, and the atmosphere was tense for a moment before the man exhaled, "When trying to manipulate the underground passage, you avoided Hua City’s notice, but there was a trace left when you took that girl. Someone will find you."

"Just a passerby doing a good deed. I doubt Hua City would care," Xu Huo paused, then added, "Unless someone else is like you."

The sword-wielding man surely wouldn’t follow him forever, and with such severe injuries, it was indeed inconvenient to move. Thus, the shadow released initially must be some kind of substitution prop, allowing him to teleport to the hotel—before opening the door, he was sure there was no one in the room.
