Chapter 11

”Dear Mr. Hannover, you have received a bank transfer of a total amount of 500,000,000!”

Hearing the text notification, the boss Phillip Hannover checked his cell phone immediately. His eyelid twitched frantically at the sight of the notification.

He thought he was hallucinating. After rubbing his eyes and making sure of the number of zeroes in the figure were correct, Phillip Hannover cursed, “Holy f*ck!”

He was stunned right there and then—the man did not just double the figure; he even rounded it up to 500 million!

Staring at the total amount, Phillip Hannover felt like he was dreaming. A total 500 million; he truly hit the jackpot.

When he looked back at Sean Young, clad in cheap garment, Phillip Hannover secretly exclaimed, ‘Rich people these days are so low key!’

After the transfer, Sean looked over at Phillip. “Did it clear?”

“Yes, yes it did, good sir! From here on, the Royal Imperial Hotel is yours. I’ll put it under your name by tomorrow!” Phillip said excitedly.

After that, Phillip went into the office, gathered his belongings, and left.

Before he walked out, he shook hands with Sean with immense friendliness. He even said to him, “Great doing business with you!”

Seeing Phillip leave so ecstatic, the concierge was filled with shock and was dumbfounded.

500 million!

That person actually spent 500 million to purchase the Royal Imperial Hotel?!

At that moment, everyone at the Royal Imperial Hotel could not believe what they had witnessed. Who would have thought that Sean Young, dressed in plain clothes, could afford to buy out the entire hotel?

After taking over, Sean Young looked at the concierge. “I take it we don’t have a problem now?”

“No problem. Absolutely no problem!” Under Sean’s stare, the concierge almost fell to the floor paralyzed.

Just a moment ago, he was dismissive of the young man, and in the blink of an eye, Sean Young had become his new boss. The sheer arrogance on the concierge’s face had completely vanished. He was suddenly acting like a nice little puppy.

Sean Young nodded satisfactorily. “Since there are no problems now, you can buzz off!”

“Bu…Buzz off?” As soon as he heard those words, the concierge was shocked. His vision dulled.

Right away, the concierge knelt to the floor with a thud and grabbed Sean Young’s legs to fearfully beg. “Boss, I was blind. I beg you; please forgive me. I have an old mother, I have two kids in school, and I still have to pay off my auto loan and property mortgage. I beg you, boss, please don’t let me go!”

If he lost the job, it would have a truly profound impact on his life.

As for the stories he told, they were half-truths to win Sean Young’s sympathy.

Sean Young looked over at Moses Langston, who held up his cellphone and reported, “Your Highness, his name is Benje Marquez. He does not and never has supported his parents. He divorced his wife two years ago, and the kids are in his ex-wife’s custody.

However, it’s true that he has a mortgage and auto loan to pay off every month. Other than that, he’s keeping a female college student as his mistress!”

As Sean Young transferred the money to Phillip Hannover, Moses Langston had used the opportunity to look up information about the concierge.

The concierge Benje Marquez’s face turned blue; he did not expect Moses Langston to find so much of his information in such a short time.

“Scram!” Sean Young shouted at Benje Marquez as soon as he heard the report, his face filled with disgust.

“I’m done!” The concierge Benje Marquez’s face was pale as he sat on the floor like a deflated balloon.

He had used so much of his effort to even be able to get to his position as a concierge at a five-star grand hotel. With that position, he was able to earn tens of thousands every month, comparable to high-salary gold-collars in the country.

When he thought of the heavy monthly auto loan and property mortgage that he had to pay every month after losing his job, he almost blacked out.

Sean Young sneered at the concierge when he saw his hopeless face.

Garbage like him was not worthy of his pity.

Scanning the faces of the other hotel workers, Sean Young announced plainly, “From today onward, all workers’ salaries will be doubled, as will your benefits!”

“Long live the boss!” Hearing Sean Young’s announcement, the workers were so excited they almost jumped for joy.

When Benje Marquez heard that, he almost spat blood out of frustration.

Doubling both salary and benefits?

Benje Marquez wanted to kill himself for his arrogant behavior.

Sean Young did not hope for the hotel to earn money; his actual goal was to give Maisie Thompson a huge surprise in the coming week.

To Sean Young, money was but a number. Spending 500 million to teach the despicable Benje Marquez a lesson made him feel great.

“You’ll manage the hotel in the future!” Sean Young told Moses Langston.

“Yes, Your Highness!” answered Moses Langston.

Sean Young looked at the time. “It’s late, send me home. I’d still need to pick up my wife after work!”

Moses sent Sean back to Thompson Pharmaceutical Group in the Rolls-Royce Phantom, driving at full speed.

As soon as they left the Royal Imperial Hotel, there was an uproar in Great Central City.

“Is that for real? The mogul made a massive buy once again. He bought out the Royal Imperial Hotel with 500 million? And he announced his plan to propose to a woman next Monday?”

“Moguls aren’t human! The market cap of Royal Imperial Hotel is 230 million, and he bought it at 500 million. Isn’t that something else?”

“I heard that the mogul rounded up the sum to pay 500 million!”

“Oh my goodness, rounding it up to pay an extra 40 million. Does his family own a bank or something?”

Sean Young’s 500 million dollar purchase of the Royal Imperial Hotel had become big news. It attracted countless people’s attention. Many were curious about the kind of woman the mogul would propose to on the coming Monday, and how incredible she was.

A lot of women were jealous to no end. A rich mogul who dropped 100 million and purchased the Kiss of Angel diamond ring, then spending another 500 million to buy out the Royal Imperial Hotel—if such a mogul took interest in someone, the target of their affections would have incredible luck!

As soon as word got out, the Thompson family naturally caught wind as well.

“God! This mogul is really a bit too wealthy, isn’t he? He spent 600 million within a day. Who IS he?”

“Who knows! Probably an upstart who just came back from overseas? That’s some crazy wealth!”

Jasmine Thompson excitedly said, “This mogul must be the mysterious man who came to our company today in the Rolls-Royce Phantom.”

Suddenly, someone ran over in excitement. “You guys, guess what I just saw! That very Rolls-Royce Phantom just appeared in front of our company again!”

“What? Again? The mogul must have taken a fancy to me and come to peek at me in secret because he’s shy!” Jasmine Thompson said, trying to calm her excitement.

Nobody around had any doubt about that, because the foremost beauty of the Thompson family, Maisie Thompson, had been married off. If someone had taken fancy toward a Thompson woman, she had to be Jasmine!

Sean Young was speechless when he walked by and overheard Maisie Thompson’s words.

Moses Langston sent him back and nobody saw Sean Young get out of the Rolls-Royce Phantom. However, the Thompsons were guessing that some rich debonair took interest in a Thompson girl instead. How ridiculous.

Seeing Sean Young’s expression, Jasmine Thompson sneered. “What are you trying to say, Sean Young? Are you trying to insult me? Did the mogul’s appearance hurt your little esteem?”

“Tell you what, a loser like you doesn’t even deserve to carry the mogul’s shoes. Rubbish like you can only admire a Rolls-Royce and lug around a van for the rest of your life!”

“Jassie, I think you’re being too nice to this piece of garbage. It would be surprising if he could afford to ride a tricycle, let alone a van!” Houston Thompson passed by and rubbed salt to the wound.

“Hahahaha!”

Right then, everybody looked at Sean Young and started to laugh maniacally.

Facing their insults, Sean Young’s eyes shined. A strong energy radiated from inside him. “Oh yeah? And how do you know that I’m not as powerful as you say?”
