The group returned to the hotel.
At the entrance, Tong Jing was berating Frey mercilessly.
But when he saw Heine, he immediately adopted a look of grievance.
"Mr. Heine, that kind of place in the old street is a gathering spot for swindlers and ruffians, representing the moral bottom line of Eagle Wing City. As Simon's friend, I highly advise against you going there."
"Okay, okay, definitely next time."
Heine responded amicably with a smile, standing behind Simon using him as a shield.
Frey took out his frustration entirely on the tower.
He seized the stone and then respectfully handed it to Tong Jing.
"Sir, could you take a look at this object to see if there's anything wrong with it?"
Tong Jing lightly touched the rim of his glasses, glanced at it a couple of times, and then threw it back to him.
"It's just an ordinary souvenir, nothing valuable."
So it returned to the tower's hands.
...
Back in his room, Heine noticed there were guards standing outside.
