A luxury car stopped steadily, and a tall and burly man quickly got out of the car. He walked up to Yegor, bowed deeply and respectfully, and shouted, "Dragon King!"
"Dragon Tooth, how's the matter progressing?" Yegor's expression was calm, and his tone carried the unique authority of a superior. A powerful aura then spread out, making Dragon Tooth in front of him feel invisible pressure.
The man called Dragon Tooth was one of the eight generals of the Dragon Soul Organization. Although he was ugly in appearance, he was loyal and quite accomplished in the business field, so he won Yegor's deep trust.
On weekdays, wherever Yegor went, he was used to taking Dragon Tooth with him. Firstly, it was convenient for him to assign tasks and handle various affairs. Secondly, Dragon Tooth's appearance just set off Yegor's handsomeness.
Dragon Tooth quickly stepped forward to report, "Report to the Dragon King. The Blackstone Group has been successfully acquired by us and has been renamed the Dragon Morning Group."
Some days ago, after Huajin Investment suffered a major loss, Yegor urgently transferred Dragon Tooth back to China from Europe and asked him to mobilize a huge amount of 500 billion funds to take over the Blackstone Group in Milan in one fell swoop.
It had to be said that the Dragon Soul Organization had a profound foundation and astonishing financial resources.
Yegor pondered slightly and said after thinking for a moment, "Then I'll leave this group to you to manage. For now, I don't want to expose my identity too early."
"Thank you for your trust, Dragon King! Your subordinate will surely go all out to make the Dragon Morning Group thrive," Dragon Tooth said excitedly, clasping his fists to accept the order.
Yegor nodded with satisfaction.
He found that the situation in Milan was different from what he had expected. If he always kept a low profile, it would be too slow to achieve his goals.
So, he decided to speed up the pace and conquer Milan.
And the Dragon Morning Group was just the first step of his layout, the vanguard on this land.
"Dragon Tooth, three days later, I'm going to hold a grand birthday banquet for my woman," Yegor's eyes showed a hint of tenderness for a moment, and then immediately became sharp again. "You, as the person in charge of the Dragon Morning Group, go and book the top floor of the Lunar Hotel. After booking it, release the news immediately to let the whole of Milan know that the boss of the Dragon Morning Group is going to hold a birthday feast for his beloved. Also, help the Sulokov Family acquire the land in the west of the city. Let the Su family have a good look at my strength. If anyone dares to stop it, kill them without mercy!"
"Dragon Tooth accepts the order!" Dragon Tooth clasped his fists with a cold light flashing in his eyes. In his heart, anyone who hindered the Dragon King's great cause would be mercilessly eliminated by him.
The Lunar Hotel, as the most luxurious hotel in Milan, had already become an iconic building in this city.
The main body of the hotel was composed of two curved towers, and the center was connected by a unique arched structure. From a distance, it looked like a huge ring, standing gracefully on the lake surface, cleverly integrating the European classic architectural style with mysterious oriental cultural elements.
Every night, when the lights of the hotel were turned on, the whole building was reflected in the clear lake water, dreamy and beautiful, as if a bright moon had fallen into the mortal world, so it got the name "Lunar Hotel".
"Not bad. The reward from the system is quite reliable this time. It would be even better if it could be doubled next time," Tony said to himself with satisfaction as he drove his car and saw his own hotel from a distance. After transmigrating to this world and experiencing so many things with the system, this reward was quite generous. However, the fact that the system was suddenly so generous made him feel a bit uneasy instead.
Tony drove the car to the entrance of the hotel. Karl Schmidt, the general manager of the hotel, had already been waiting there.
"Master Tony!" Karl quickly walked forward and bowed respectfully when he saw Tony getting out of the car.
"Karl, don't be so polite," Tony said with a smile and patted him on the shoulder.
After the system transferred the hotel to Tony's name, it was also very considerate to replace the hotel's management with the confidants of the Thomson Family.
"Master Tony, shall I take you around the hotel first?" Karl made a gesture of invitation.
Tony nodded in agreement and followed Karl to visit the hotel.
As soon as he stepped into the hotel lobby, the huge and dazzling crystal chandelier caught Tony's attention.
The entire hall was made of expensive citrine and various rare jades, and every detail showed extreme luxury and extravagance.
Karl led the way in front and took Tony to visit various facilities of the hotel one by one. Finally, they came to the hot spring area.
The hot spring area of the hotel was large in scale, with a total of hundreds of hot spring pools, and there were also more than forty independent hot spring villas.
It had always been a popular choice for the rich in Milan to take a leisure vacation.
Karl pointed to one of the villas and asked, "Master Tony, shall we reserve a few hot spring villas for private use?"
"Just reserve one," Tony said with a smile and nodded.
"Okay, I'll arrange it later. After that, this hot spring villa will no longer be open to the public," Karl nodded in response.
After the two of them visited the hot spring area, they returned to the general manager's office.
Just sat down not long ago, Karl's secretary rushed in.
"General Manager, the person in charge of the Dragon Morning Group is here and said that he wants to contract the top floor of the hotel to hold a birthday banquet," the secretary quickly reported.
"Contract the top floor?" Karl frowned slightly.
The top floor of the Lunar Hotel had always been the signature part of the hotel. Because of its excellent view, many distinguished guests came to consume here every day.
If the top floor was contracted for a birthday banquet, it would surely offend many other guests.
Just when Karl was about to refuse, Tony suddenly asked, "The Dragon Morning Group?"
"Yes, it's the Dragon Morning Group. This company was called the Blackstone Group some time ago and was renamed after being acquired," the secretary quickly replied.
The Blackstone Group was quite famous in Milan. Its sudden acquisition had attracted a lot of attention.
Everyone was curious about who on earth had such strong financial resources and could spend 500 billion to acquire such a large company.
Tony was shocked and cursed inwardly, "Damn it! Isn't this the plot of Chapter 95 of the original book? In this chapter, Yegor no longer hides his strength and begins to show his power step by step. To prove himself to the Sulokov Family, he booked the top floor of the Lunar Hotel, which was never open to the public, and held a grand and luxurious birthday banquet for Sophia. At that banquet, the Sulokov Family's people were slapped in the face and never dared to underestimate him again. Sophia was also touched by his romance and completely fell in love with him. After winning over the Su family, his power in Milan grew stronger, and then he began to plan to annex the Thomson Family."
"Damn the system! You're tricking me again!" Tony cursed angrily in his heart. He said that there must be something fishy about the system being so generous this time. According to the original plot, Yegor sent Dragon Tooth to book the top floor for Sophia's birthday banquet. The hotel general manager firmly refused to break the rules. Then, Dragon Tooth choked the general manager's neck to force him. The general manager had no choice but to agree to save his life.
Now, the difficult problem was in front of Tony.
If he didn't agree, with Dragon Tooth's ruthless character, he would surely use all means to make them submit. But if he agreed, there would also be a lot of trouble later.
Once Yegor really succeeded in winning over Sophia, the Sulokov Family would become his helper.
Coupled with the Dragon Morning Group and his other forces behind him, the situation of the Thomson Family and himself would become extremely dangerous.
Tony thought that it was trouble either way, and he had to find a way to disrupt the situation.
However, it was too dangerous for him to show up in person. He took a deep breath and his eyes fell on Karl.
He remembered that Karl was quite good at "causing trouble".
In this kind of cliched novel setting, the subordinates of the villains were often good at creating incidents, and Karl was no exception.
"What's the matter, Master Tony?" Karl noticed that Tony's eyes were a bit strange and quickly asked with a smile.
"Karl, regarding the matter of contracting the top floor, I think we can agree first. However, we must not let this birthday banquet be held smoothly. Do you understand what I mean?" Tony said with a sly smile and winked at Karl.
If the birthday banquet was held smoothly, according to the original plot development, he would be doomed. But if he refused directly, Dragon Tooth, that ruthless guy, definitely wouldn't let it go.
So, Tony decided to let Karl play to his "strengths". With Karl's cleverness, he would surely be able to come up with a brilliant idea to catch Yegor off guard.
"Okay, Master Tony," Karl nodded, but he was still a bit puzzled in his heart.
He didn't quite understand Tony's intention. Since he didn't want to agree, why not just refuse directly? But since the boss had given such instructions, there must be his deep meaning.
With a bit of doubt, Karl left the office and went to the reception room to meet Dragon Tooth who was waiting there.
"Hello. May I ask who you are? I'm Karl Schmidt, the person in charge of the hotel," Karl said with a big smile and walked forward to shake hands with Dragon Tooth.
Dragon Tooth looked arrogant, casually shook hands with Karl, and said, "My name is Dragon Tooth. My boss wants to hold a birthday banquet for his woman, Miss Sophia Sulokov, and book the top floor of your hotel. How much does it cost? Just name your price."
Dragon Tooth had also heard about the rules of the Lunar Hotel before. The top floor was generally not available for contracting.
But the Dragon King had given a strict order, and what the Dragon King wanted to do must be done.
He had already been prepared to teach the other party a lesson and let the Lunar Hotel know that there were some people they couldn't afford to offend.
Karl heard the name "Sophia" and his eyes instantly turned cold.
Sophia was the woman their boss Tony liked. How dare this guy come to snatch her away?
He quickly reacted. No wonder Master Tony asked him to agree first and then sabotage it. It turned out that he wanted to slap the other party in the face hard.
"Here comes the chance to make a name for myself," Karl thought smugly, with a big smile on his face, and quickly said, "Hello, General Manager Dragon! Our Lunar Hotel has always hoped to establish a friendly cooperative relationship with your company. So this time, to show our sincerity, we'll make an exception to open the top floor for contracting, and we won't charge any fees!"
Karl's attitude made Dragon Tooth a little surprised.
However, he quickly figured it out. Presumably, the powerful strength of the Dragon Morning Group made the other party want to curry favor.
After all, someone who could spend 500 billion to acquire a company must have formidable forces behind them.
"Since your hotel is so sincere, then on behalf of the Dragon Morning Group, I'll accept your friendship.
Later, I'll send you the detailed plan for the birthday banquet," Dragon Tooth said with satisfaction.
"Okay, okay. Looking forward to further cooperation with General Manager Long," Karl replied with a smile.
At this moment, both of them had smiles on their faces, each with their own plans in mind.
After the matter was settled, Karl quickly went back to report to Tony.
Knowing that everything went smoothly, Tony nodded with satisfaction.
"Humph, does the system want to trick me? I'm so smart, and I have capable subordinates. How can you easily scheme against me?" Tony thought smugly.
