Three people arrived back at the hotel. One had vermillion hair, the other had long black hair, and the last one also had black hair but it was cut like a textured crop with a heavy fringe and streaks of yellow in the middle.
As they went in, the current receptionist saw them, her eyes were on the only woman in their little group. She hasn't had many interactions with her, just an occasional greeting when they change shifts.
'Right, that's Eva. Did she sell her body to those two guys? Aya what people do for money these days.' The receptionist thought.
These people were of course Marcus and the gang.
Nexus went to the receptionist and asked "Are your best suites available?"
'Rich' The receptionist thought. She made herself look more seductive. Squeezing her breasts while speaking "Yes, we only have 3 left available since there is a big match tomorrow and a lot of rich people from other cities came."
"One room." Nexus said. He followed what Marcus did when they first came here.
"Two actually. Here's my id. I would also like to cancel the other room I stayed in before." Marcus stepped forward.
The process only took a little while. Their rooms still need to be prepared. The receptionist would often look at Eva who is slightly blushing knowing what the receptionist was thinking.
"Here are the key cards. Enjoy your stay. If you need anything, you can just ring any time of the night. Services are always available." said the receptionist as she handed 2 white cards to Marcus and winked.
Marcus smiled and thanked her before heading to the elevator with his companions.
----------------------
Marcus and Nexus first accompanied Eva to her room.
"Wow" Seeing the luxurious room she couldn't help but be amazed 'So this is how the rich people live' She thought.
"You should get used to this." Nexus said as he walked around the room making sure everything was alright.
Marcus stopped using his watch and smiled "This is only the beginning Big Sis. Soon we're gonna conquer the whole human race."
"Hahaha, little brother let me get used to this first before you start rambling about conquering the human race." Eva laughed. Her simple life is about to change.
"Right, right I'm going back to my room first and get some sleep" Marcus didn't show it but he felt like he just lost a million bucks. His body was heavy.
"Mm, you should get some rest, I'll let the cat accompany me," Eva said teasing a certain someone in the room.
"Cat? What cat? Who's the cat?" Nexus had a slight aggrieved look on his face.
Marcus laughed and went away.
Nexus looked at Eva who's on her way to the bathroom.
The luxurious bathroom had a circular bathtub, heck it was a jacuzzi with shower heads on top aiming at it.
She had a really pretty smile on her face when she went back to the living room where Nexus was standing.
Seeing her smile made Nexus' heart skip a beat.
'How long has it been since I saw her this happy. Oh ya, it was at that time.' Nexus got lost in the clouds as he stared at the other person inside the room.
Eva noticed this, looked at him and asked while touching her face, "What? Do I have something on my face?"
Nexus shook his head and brought himself back. He just smiled "No, I was thinking what human food should I eat first in this form tomorrow"
"I know the best place in the city! Though it isn't luxurious, it is still one of the best, and I'm willing to bet on that" Eva excitedly said.
"Great we'll eat there for lunch. You should get some sleep. You're going to be learning new things first thing tomorrow."
She was already told that she would learn better magic and will have to swallow lots of enhancing pills. so she vigorously nodded.
"Good night" Nexus walked to the door and said before going out.
"Night night" Eva responded. She went to the place where the liquors were placed and thought 'I badly need a drink'
Nexus went to Marcus' room, well, their room.
"Do you want to explain things to me?" As he got into the room, he heard Marcus' voice.
"It's best if the stone does it. It'll be easier to understand." Nexus replied as he went to the couch and turned on the television.
"Okay" with a long sigh, Marcus went to his bedroom to cultivate for a few hours. He badly needs to breakthrough.

At a mansion in a second 2nd rate state. A man who looks to be in his 40's got up from his bed where he was laying down with a beauty. He has black hair and stood around 6 feet tall. He has bushy brows and a long nose.
He got a watch from the bedside cabinet and went to a nearby window before answering. A screen popped up.
"What is it?" The man asked.
"Sir we received a call from one of our branches in the third rate country the Kellar Republic and they said that someone deposited an extravagant amount of money." Someone on the other end respectfully replied
"Oh? Did you wake me up because of this? How much could it be?" The man was not mad or irritated. To get to his position he had to learn how to listen and understand people. He also knew no one would disturb him unless it's really important.
The guy on the phone said the amount which made Owen's eyes, the middle-aged man who looks to be around 40, wide.
"I see. Make sure to accommodate his every single need when he visits the bank. He has to be first, make him the number 1 priority. If I'm not wrong, he must be a scion from a 1st rate country" Owen said.
'Ahhh, rich people, they just go wherever they want. What if he actually ends up destroying that country if someone offends him there.'
Owen was rich but people from the 1st rate countries are something you can't reach. The people from there are the spearhead of humanity. Not to mention the mana there was a lot denser compared to other places.
When 1st rate countries are going to war with each other, the 2nd rate countries can only stay quiet, how much more 3rd rate countries.
But that is a story for another time.
"Y-yes, sir." The man on the phone vigorously nodded.
"Is that all?" Owen asked, now that he was awake, he wanted to ravage the pretty lady who was on his bed. But on second thought he didn't want to wake her.
"Yes sir, I'll contact the branch in Kellar right away." The said and then heard Owen hang up
Communicating from planet to planet can be quite costly. You will be needing an upgraded version of a watch that is not sold in 3rd rate countries. Though there are of course rich families who are an exception.
In 2nd rate countries though, most average families have one.

Morning came and Marcus woke up. He opened his eyes and thought about his agenda for today. He got up and walked towards the bathroom to take a bath.
He wore the same kind of clothes though they were not the ones he put on yesterday.
Black long-sleeved polo and smart trousers.
Marcus went out of his room and saw that the tv was on. Nexus on the other hand was asleep on the couch.
Marcus continued to the kitchen. He looked for anything that could be cooked and found eggs.
Marcus looked for a recipe online on how to cook simple dishes. He found one that says 'Basic Scrambled Eggs for the Family'. He clicked on it and got the needed ingredients from the fridge and some others were on a cabinet.
Marcus followed the recipe closely. Eggs, butter, salt, etc.
As he finished, Nexus woke up from the smell. He got up from the couch and went to the kitchen. He didn't even get to take his morning piss yet.
"OHHH food. Scrambled eggs? let me try." Nexus said as he greedily looked at the food in front of him. Though it was slightly burnt, it still looked good.
"Go for it," Marcus nodded. He was proud of his work. He then went to look for other things he could try.
As a Prince, this was his first time cooking. Hell, it was his first time in the kitchen.
Nexus tried it, and as the fork with the egg went into his mouth, his eyes went wide. He ran to the sink and hurriedly spat it out.
"Are you trying to kill me?" Nexus looked at Marcus as if he was a monster.
"Fuck do you mean? You didn't like it?" Marcus was puzzled. He followed every single step.
"Didn't like it is an understatement! You should never cook in a banquet unless you want all of them to die." Nexus went to the bathroom to take a leak and also he needed to take a bath.
"Rude bastard!" Marcus cursed.
A few minutes later Eva buzzed. She still felt a little hungover from all the drinks she drowned.
Marcus went and opened the door.
"Big Sis, try my this," Marcus said as she handed her a plate and a fork.
Eva tried it and placed it in her mouth. After doing that she made a weird face and also ran to the sink.
"Little Brother, you shouldn't place that much salt," Eva said as she coughed a few times. Now she's fully awake.
"What do you--" Marcus went through the recipe in his watch, a screen popped up in the air and he began scrolling. He finally saw it.
He placed too much salt.
