Chapter 189: Chapter 0189: Encounter with Ghost Poison Again

The convoy was certainly arranged by Zhao Wuji. Once on board, it drove along the coastal road.

In the middle of the convoy was an RV, in which Mr. Ouyang, Zheng Lihong, Chu Ge, and Zhao Wuji, all four were seated.

Zhao Wuji poured everyone a glass of red wine before speaking, "Mr. Ouyang, Mr. Chu, the Duan Family has already informed us that today we will rest by the coast for one night to enjoy the seaside night view before heading to the cruise ship tomorrow to discuss important matters."

"Humph," Mr. Ouyang snorted coldly and said, "The Duan Family really knows how to put on airs!"

Zhao Wuji remained silent until Mr. Ouyang’s mood slightly stabilized before he spoke up, "Coincidentally, I have a villa here. If Mr. Ouyang and Mr. Chu don’t mind, how about we make do there for the night?"

"No need," Mr. Ouyang shook his head and said, "I seem to vaguely remember that the Duan Family has a small property here, right?"

"Correct!" Zhao Wuji nodded upon hearing Mr. Ouyang’s words and said, "By the seaside, there is a five-star oceanfront hotel, which is a property of the Duan Family. It’s called the Sky Sea Hotel."

"Sky Sea Hotel?" Mr. Ouyang murmured, then suddenly laughed: "Good, let’s stay there then!"

......

A black S-Class Mercedes sped along the highway. Zhao Wuji initially planned to drop off Mr. Ouyang and the others first, but Mr. Ouyang didn’t want to trouble him and simply had him arrange for a car ride.

Sky Sea Hotel was located at the end of the highway, being the only building there over ten stories tall, very conspicuous.

Mr. Ouyang stepped out of the car and looked at the building, chuckling, "The Duan Family really makes us work; we have to get something back from them. In these coming days, reserve the best rooms, order the costliest food, there’s no need to hold back, as we won’t be paying anyway. Hahahaha..."

Mr. Ouyang was obviously joking since, with the Ouyang family’s wealth, even buying the entire hotel would be a trivial matter. However, his words did indeed raise a bit of interest in Chu Ge’s heart.

Upon entering the main door, they were greeted by two rows of young waitresses in cheongsam bowing in unison.

Among the three present, Zheng Lihong had the lowest status, and naturally, the task of booking rooms fell to him.

However, Zheng Lihong had no complaints about such matters; after all, one was the Old Master of the Ouyang family, and the other was a Quasi-innate expert. The chance to run errands for these two was something others might not even be able to beg for.

Manager Tang was originally very friendly, but his expression turned to one of shock when he saw the names of the guests, asking, "Is it... Mr. Ouyang, the Old Master of the Ouyang Family, Ouyang Yunbao?"

"That’s right," Zheng Lihong nodded, and at that moment, Mr. Ouyang and Chu Ge approached.

Manager Tang quickly came out from behind the bar and bowed deeply to Mr. Ouyang, "I’m sorry for not sending someone to receive Mr. Ouyang. It’s truly an oversight."

"Humph," confronted with the manager’s bow, Mr. Ouyang showed no reaction and snorted, "The Duan Family truly has quite the audacity. With just an invitation and a few phone calls, they order us around from the Three Major Families. What, is Duan Congxing too cowardly to meet us after inviting us all here?"

"Mr. Ouyang, you misunderstand," the lobby manager awkwardly smiled and shook his head, "The Old Master is currently arranging things on the cruise, so he genuinely couldn’t come to receive everyone today."

"Humph." Mr. Ouyang didn’t bother to argue further with a mere manager and waved his hand, "Forget it, just check us in. We’ll rest here for the night."

"Um." However, the lobby manager hesitated, glanced at them, and after his expression changed slightly, he still gritted his teeth and said, "I apologize, but there are really no vacant rooms in the hotel. Perhaps you could try finding another place?"

"What did you say?" Zheng Lihong frowned and glared at the lobby manager.

It was well known that there was only the Sky Sea Hotel around. The manager’s statement, if put nicely, was asking them to look elsewhere; if put unpleasantly, basically meant they were being given the option to sleep on the streets!

"Gentlemen!" The lobby manager was sweating profusely — although Chu Ge had hidden his aura, the oppressive atmosphere from Mr. Ouyang and Zheng Lihong was undoubtedly not something an ordinary man could handle.

However, even so, the lobby manager gritted his teeth and reiterated, "The rooms in the hotel... are indeed all booked out, please look elsewhere!"

"Old Master." Zheng Lihong’s brows furrowed deeply, and he turned his head to look at Mr. Ouyang.

After staring at the lobby manager for tens of seconds, Mr. Ouyang suddenly said, "Was it Duan Congxing who instructed you to say this? He guessed that I’d definitely come here."

"This..." The lobby manager paused upon hearing this, not nodding or shaking his head, but his demeanor evidently confirmed Mr. Ouyang’s assertion.

"Duan Congxing." Mr. Ouyang murmured, turning to look at the sea outside, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes, "It seems you’ve truly found a powerful backer this time and are ready to completely turn against us, the few Major Families!"

"Gentlemen." At that moment, the lobby manager forced himself to speak, "Please leave, while the sun hasn’t fully set, you might still find a place to stay!"

"What if we insist on staying here?" Mr. Ouyang suddenly turned around, looking at the lobby manager with a faint, mocking smile.

The lobby manager’s heart skipped a beat, but still echoed Duan Congxing’s instructions, "Then, I’ll have no choice but to call security, please be sensible!"

Just as he said this, a group of men in black clothes suddenly entered from the doorway.

"Manager!" A young man called out upon entering, "Open up two good rooms for a few people!"

As he spoke, the young man placed a note on the desk, "I heard from your Duan Family that with this note, food and lodging are on the house?"

"That’s right!" The lobby manager was now back behind the counter, glanced at the signature on the note, and smiled at the newcomers, "Indeed, you will not be charged for your stay and meals for the next few days."

"This damn fool!" Zheng Lihong furrowed his brow and snorted, "Didn’t he just say there were no rooms available?"

However, Chu Ge was eyeing the backs of the black-clothed men, appearing contemplative; the aura emanating from these men...

Ghost Poison Sect!
