Chapter 1205: There’s Always Someone Who Won’t Back Down
"Oh?"
James looked at Leonard beside him.
Leonard took a sip from his wine glass, smiling as he looked at James: "Do you know who's managing the Blair Hotel now?"
"It seems to be the youngest son of the Blair Family, Ryan Blair."
"That's right."
Leonard nodded slightly: "But you surely don't know what kind of character this Ryan is."
James raised his eyes to look at Leonard, waiting for him to continue. The person in front of him, Zhang Leonard, was the heir of the Medici family, one of the twelve families of the Gods Temple, and also one of the most powerful families in the world.
As an heir of the Medici family, the family follows an ancient heir system, meaning every heir must prove they have the capabilities to assume the position of family Clan Leader after receiving certain family resources.
Without a doubt, in such a system, none of the family's heirs is an idiot.
Leonard continued: "I've had a few encounters with Ryan from the Blair family. This Ryan is a typical spoiled brat, flamboyant, arrogant, domineering, and he has one major flaw."
"Oh?"
"That is racial supremacy. He thinks highly of his noble bloodline, so he looks down on people from ordinary backgrounds and those of other skin colors."
"In many social gatherings, this guy has publicly voiced his opinions multiple times without any reservations, even causing a major scandal because of it."
"He had to avoid public opinion and external pressure, which is why the Blair family reassigned him here to manage the Blair Hotel."
"Do you know what he did after he took up the position here?"
"Hmm?"
James looked at Leonard.
"Hey, this guy openly declared that his hotel only serves the elite of the Federation. He said it, and he did it. Some guests from Yan Country and Lijia State who were staying at the hotel were directly kicked out by him."
"Fortunately, most of the Blair Hotel's clientele are from the Southern Federation. Otherwise, this alone would have caused a great deal of trouble."
"But this guy wouldn't restrain himself. Instead, he openly boasted about his actions at some banquets held at the hotel, flaunting it as his achievement."
"Hey, it's fortunate that this is the Silver Coast in Lijia State, and not a country in the United States or the Southern Federation, otherwise this fool would have brought endless trouble to the Blair family."
Leonard said.
James listened, his smart mind quickly turning: "Master Leonard, if what you say is accurate, then perhaps Ryan could be used."
Leonard chuckled lightly.
"We don't need to do anything. That Ryan will act; this is the Blair Hotel, his territory."
"And the Dragon King is a Yan Country native. For someone as arrogant and proud as him, the legend of the Dragon King would not deter him; rather it would make him eager to try."
"After all, slaying dragons is just the kind of thing these arrogant heirs want to do the most."
While the two were discussing Ryan Blair, the subject of their conversation had already appeared in the room of the Mining Alliance's vice president.
"Haven't you brought Will up to me yet?"
The hotel manager, whose head still had a dull ache, hurried forward upon hearing Ryan's words and said in a low voice, "Young Master Ryan, the Dragon King has declared that we can't bring anyone up here before noon tomorrow, or he'll flatten the Blair Hotel with his men."
Before the manager could finish his sentence, Ryan Blair slapped him across the face: "Shit, am I the boss or is he the boss?"
"What bullshit Dragon King? Would I, Ryan Blair, be afraid of a monkey? Right now, immediately, bring Will up to me."
Ryan roared loudly.
The hotel manager was a bit dazed by the slap, but seeing the alcohol-reeking and red-eyed Ryan Blair, he signaled to the security personnel.
Anyway, the hotel is Blair Family's property. Even if it gets ruined, it's not his problem.
Quickly, the vice president of the Mining Alliance, Will, was brought into the room, and the security personnel untied the rope binding Will.
"I want to make a complaint. I've suffered inhuman abuse at the Blair Hotel. This is unforgivable. If I don't get a reasonable explanation, I will definitely shut your hotel down."
Will fumed with anger, feeling it was an undeserved disaster. He was merely engaging in a friendly biological theory discussion with his secretary, only to be caught, have his skin carved, and hung shamefully on a Cross outside the hotel's window.
Ryan Blair looked at the angry and embarrassed Will: "Mr. Will, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter. Whoever dares to abuse guests of the Blair family in my hotel, I will have his head for an apology."
"You'd better, Mr. Ryan."
"Take Mr. Will to the hospital."
Ryan Blair ordered someone to take Will to the hospital and then turned with a grim expression to face the hotel manager.
"George, you've been in the Mining Capital for over a decade and are our Blair Family's agent here. Now, the Blair family's reputation has been tarnished, and we have lost face. I need you to leverage some local connections to find the whereabouts of those people as quickly as possible."
Hotel manager George looked at this Blair Family scion and, despite their short acquaintance, knew his way of doing things well. Even if he objected, Ryan wouldn't listen.
"Alright, I'll do my best."
"Not your best, but you must, understand, George."
"If you can't do it, then I will find someone who can to replace you. That's all." Ryan didn't even give this hotel manager, who had served the Blair family for twenty years, a shred of face. With that, he left with a cold expression.
George's face changed, but he held back in the end. After all, the other party was the heir of the Blair family, while he was just an employee.
George looked at the security personnel in front of him: "Go, use your local connections to find out where those people are."
"Yes, Manager George."
After Li Feng and the others left the Blair Grand Hotel, they didn't go far from the Mining Capital but instead drove to a property in the city.
It was a mansion spanning several acres, surrounded by walls, with a three-story villa in the center, located in the affluent area of the Mining Capital where security was relatively better than other areas.
"You have property here?"
Zhu Jun got out of the car, scanning the mansion's surroundings. With his military eye, he saw that this mansion indeed held hidden assets.
"It's a temporary place to settle, come on, let's go in first."
Li Feng led Zhu Jun and others directly to the villa, while Long Ya and his men dispersed to start setting up defense.
"Brother Li, you did a satisfying job today, but the impact is quite significant. Could this affect our chance of obtaining the mining rights for Mining Area No. 7?"
