Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise

"Don\'t worry, you\'ll be absolutely safe from any harm while you\'re in the hotel," Gu Wanyin said with a smile. "However, once you leave the hotel and go outside, I won\'t be able to protect you, so please be careful on your own."

After thinking it over, Bruno went to find Janet and asked her not to leave the hotel for the time being.

Although Janet didn\'t understand why, she followed Bruno\'s advice.

Fortunately, she and the Bruno siblings had found some gold during their previous outing together, which they had exchanged for plenty of points – enough for her to stay at the hotel for quite a while.

Bai Shuwen watched them chatting and laughing, then said uneasily to Gu Wanyin, "Is this really okay? No matter what, that girl Janet can\'t hide in the hotel forever."

"True, but according to the rules, we can\'t interfere with matters outside the hotel that don\'t concern us," Gu Wanyin replied. "However... I think that Duke is getting impatient. He won\'t wait for Janet to leave the hotel."

And regardless of what methods Duke Bobby might use, if he made a move against Janet inside the hotel, he would be violating hotel rules. When that happened, Gu Wanyin would have the authority to take action...

...

The suspicious person outside Janet\'s room last night was indeed Bobby\'s subordinate.

Bobby had ordered him to bring Janet out of her room.

But the subordinate was too afraid of breaking hotel rules and acted hesitantly.

Later, when he heard Bruno\'s voice, he ran away in fear.

Bobby berated his subordinate harshly for this failure.

However, he was also somewhat worried about taking action personally.

Just as Bobby was secretly seething with hatred, heaven seemed to present him with an opportunity.

In the afternoon, another group arrived at the hotel.

This was Count Daine, who had eight soldiers under his command.

Yesterday, Tom\'s squad had encountered Daine while they were out, and after learning about the hotel\'s existence from them, Daine decided to try his luck by bringing his men here.

He was amazed to find such a large castle, complete with east and west towers.

Along with his surprise, flames of greed and jealousy began burning in Daine\'s heart.

If this castle belonged to him, wouldn\'t that solve his problems for quite a while?

Moreover, the fact that so many people could stay here suggested that it was well-stocked with supplies...

However, being new and unfamiliar with the situation, Daine didn\'t dare act rashly. He decided to stay for a few days with his men to observe first.

Bai Shuwen and Old Six were handling their check-in at the front desk.

Before completing the check-in, they made sure to show them the hotel rules.

Daine saw the rules but didn\'t take them very seriously.

In his view, having soldiers under his command was the true measure of power.

Yet this hotel didn\'t even have any guards.

There was just a female attendant and a talking garlic... wait, garlic?

Daine kept staring at Old Six.

Old Six had just finished making a room key card and noticed Daine\'s gaze. "What are you looking at?" it asked, puzzled. "Never seen garlic before?"

Daine: "...It\'s nothing."

He\'d seen garlic before, but never talking garlic!

Daine decided he should definitely observe for a few days before doing anything.

After checking in, Daine went to see his room, then took his soldiers to the restaurant for a meal.

As it happened, Bobby was there too.

When he saw Daine, he called out delightedly, "If it isn\'t Count Daine! I never expected to see you here!"

"Duke Bobby!" Daine was equally pleased. "So you\'re still alive!"

Bobby: "..."

That almost killed the conversation.

The two had a good relationship before the apocalypse.

While Daine\'s status was naturally lower than Bobby\'s, Bobby had never put on airs around him, so they got along well.

Most importantly... Daine hated Janet\'s father even more than Bobby did.

So Bobby\'s eyes gleamed as a plan formed in his mind.

"Did you know? Ferguson Duke\'s daughter is also staying in this hotel..."
