Chapter 62

"Sorry to interrupt."

Luolin walked to the front desk. Since the young lady hadn't recovered from her shock yet, Luolin had to speak up.

"Ah... yes..."

Fights between mercenaries were common occurrences, so many people didn't want to get involved.

However, those who dared to attack Willis's people were quite rare.

But this had nothing to do with her as a receptionist, so she tried to respond as normally as possible.

"Please help me book another room."

Luolin took out two copper coins he had scraped together from those people and placed them on the counter. The young lady was stunned.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"No, sir, there's no problem."

She said, then proceeded to handle the paperwork for Luolin.

During this time, Ailuka had already tied up those people tightly.

Luolin couldn't let them go back to report, so naturally he had to restrain them first. Booking a room to lock them up was the best option.

Luolin also glanced around.

"Everyone, I'll treat you all to drinks. Let's just pretend this incident never happened, how about that?"

Luolin asked, and the crowd immediately cheered.

"Little brother, you're generous enough. No problem. Besides, none of us here are on good terms with that guy anyway."

"That's right, all he does is bully others all day long."

Fortunately, Willis wasn't a popular figure in the mercenary circle, so these people agreed readily.

"Hey, I say, pervert."

"Don't call me that for no reason..."

Although Luolin didn't deny being a pervert, being called that in public was a bit much for him, so he objected to Ailuka.

But Ailuka didn't care about such things. She curled her lips.

"Tch, you actually feel ashamed? Anyway, since you got money from them, book me a separate room too. I don't want to sleep in the same room as you."

Ailuka said. Luolin looked at the remaining money in his hand.

However, he refused.

"No, that won't do."

Luolin said. Upon hearing this, Ailuka became displeased.

"Huh? Why? Can you have some shame!"

"No, no, don't misunderstand!"

Luolin knew that if he bickered with Ailuka now, she would stubbornly do as she pleased no matter what.

So Luolin had to use reason to persuade her.

"This money can only be used where it's absolutely necessary. Have you forgotten? We're in serious need of money right now. This is Shirna's life-saving money."

Luolin said with a serious expression. Ailuka's face changed several times.

"But it was robbed from them anyway..."

"What do you mean 'robbed from them anyway'? Even if it was robbed, it's still Shirna's life-saving money. Isn't money still money?"

Luolin retorted. This left Ailuka speechless.

"Well, booking one more room is just two copper coins...

"What do you mean 'just two copper coins'? Didn't I say? Every single penny must be spent only where it absolutely has to be spent."

Luolin said.

"You...."

Ailuka raised her hand and pointed at Luolin, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Luolin didn't avoid her gaze at all, just staring back at Ailuka like that. In the end, it was Ailuka who looked away first.

"Hmph, don't expect to sleep on the bed tonight! Deal with them however you want, I'm not going to care about you anymore."

Ailuka snorted lightly, then turned and walked away.

Luolin watched Ailuka's retreating figure and let out a soft sigh.

"Sigh, finally managed to fool her."

In reality, how could Luolin's reason be about that kind of problem? Two copper coins wouldn't have much impact on the final result.

But he had no choice but to do this.

If Ailuka lived separately from him—no wait, that's not right—if Ailuka stayed in a different room from him, how would Luolin farm affection points or resentment points at night?

[Tsk tsk tsk, Host, what you're doing now could be considered a crime.]

The Resentment System transmitted such a mocking voice, and Luolin shot back.

"Who do you think I have to do this because of? Isn't it because of you two systems?"

Luolin felt helpless. If he wanted power, if he wanted to become stronger, he could only do this.

This was the fastest and most suitable stable method.

"Besides, it's not like I'm really going to do anything, just farm the two types of points."

Luolin thought he wasn't really that much of a villain, right?

Then, Luolin glanced at the several people who were tied up and gagged, realizing he would have to drag them to the room and lock them up himself.

Luolin sighed and was about to start moving when the receptionist called out to him.

"Um, sir, please wait a moment..."

"Hmm? Is there something else?"

Luolin turned around in confusion. He saw her expression was somewhat troubled, but in the end, she still spoke up.

She pointed at the broken tables and chairs nearby, as well as some traces of fighting on the walls.

"The damage to these things, could you please take responsibility for it, sir?"

She asked.

Luolin was also stunned—clearly today he was the one who had been provoked.

"Willis, right? Sooner or later I'll get this money out of you!"

Yet clearly Luolin was using the money he had just robbed.
