Chapter 47

At nine o'clock in the evening, on Queen Avenue.

Queen Avenue is a street in Dragon City famous for its entertainment industry. The entire street is lined with hotels, KTVs, slow dance bars, and more. At this moment, a group of young men and women were walking down the street, talking loudly and laughing boisterously, arm in arm, strutting down the road with a swagger that seemed to defy all norms, drawing curious glances from passersby.

This group of young people numbered eight, with an equal number of men and women, all in their early twenties. They were dressed in a rather flashy manner, adorned with various chains that jingled as they walked. Their hair was dyed in a rainbow of colors, making them look like a box of rainbow candies come to life. They had colorful tattoos on their wrists and necks. The men mostly wore tight leather pants and floral tank tops that exposed their chest hair, while the women wore short skirts and crop tops that seemed to use as little fabric as possible. Most of them had cigarettes dangling from their mouths, puffing away as they walked, causing passersby to look at them askance.

"Brother Long, did you hit the jackpot today? You're taking us to the Imperial Hotel for dinner. With so many of us, even a simple meal would cost around two thousand yuan, right?" On the left, a young man with a head of yellow hair, nicknamed "Little Yellow," stretched his neck and joked.

"Yeah, Brother Long, did you make your fortune by stealing electric scooters, or did some blind rich woman take you in?" Another, nicknamed "Little Green," teased.

The young man called Brother Long had his hair dyed a silver gray. He walked in the middle, his left arm around a heavily made-up girl whose face was unrecognizable, and his right hand playing with a lighter. He chuckled and said, "You guys are so short-sighted, vulgar, and opportunistic! Don't you know who I am, Long Ze? If I have a dollar, I won't spend even fifty cents on you. We're all brothers, so of course we should share the good times and the bad. Didn't I help Big Brother distribute a batch of goods a few days ago? He gave me thirty thousand yuan as a reward. Of course, we should celebrate properly! Don't be shy tonight, eat and drink to your heart's content. Afterward, we'll find a place to party all night. I'll cover all the expenses tonight!"

"Brother Long, you're awesome!"

Hearing this, the group cheered, and Long Ze seemed to enjoy the attention, grinning with his yellowed teeth from smoking.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Hotel, a five-star hotel. In front of the hotel was a large open area used as a parking lot, filled with luxury cars. Not a single car was worth less than five hundred thousand yuan, and there was even a black Bugatti convertible that stood out prominently.

"Damn, they're really rich."

Long Ze glanced at the Bugatti, spat, and then looked up at the gilded and magnificent hotel. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

"Let's go!"

Laughing and joking, the group walked up the steps. However, when they were about to enter the hotel, they were stopped by the security guard at the entrance.

"Sorry, everyone, you can't go in."

The security guard was polite, but his expression and eyes clearly showed disdain. This made Long Ze, who felt good about himself, unhappy. He took his hand off the girl's neck, stepped forward, and pushed the security guard's chest, pointing at him and saying, "What do you mean? You're in business, right? How can you have a rule that stops customers from entering?"

The security guard was also short-tempered. He slapped Long Ze's hand away and frowned, "Don't touch me. Who the hell do you think you are? Do you know where you are? Is this a place for you to act wild?"

Feeling embarrassed in front of his friends, Long Ze glared and shouted, "Why are you so arrogant! Bring your manager here, I want to ask why a damn security guard can stop us from entering!"

Seeing the commotion, other security guards also came over.

The first security guard looked at Long Ze with disdain and sneered, "Why? Because the Imperial Hotel is booked for the night."

Hearing this, Long Ze's eyes darted around, but he still argued, "Bullshit! Who in Dragon City has the power to book the Imperial Hotel? You're bluffing!"

The security guard said proudly, "Do you know who owns this hotel? The Fu family! So, is it a problem for Young Master Fu to book the entire hotel for the night?"

"Fu... Young Master Fu?" Long Ze's anger immediately subsided. As a native of Dragon City, he knew who Young Master Fu was, a person he could never provoke. Even his so-called Big Brother would have to bow and scrape before Young Master Fu. So, he quickly smiled and said, "Oh, it's Young Master Fu's booking. Ha, then we'll go somewhere else."

The security guard waved his hand impatiently, "Go, go, go, hurry up and leave, don't offend Young Master Fu's guests!"

Although Long Ze felt frustrated, he had no choice. He waved to his group, preparing to leave with his "rainbow candies," who were also dejected and unwilling.

But just as they turned around, they saw a bright red Ferrari 488 driving up and parking in front of the hotel. Two young and beautiful women got out of the car and walked towards the hotel together.

The woman on the left was wearing a purple evening gown, with long, wavy hair, a flawless white face, a slender neck, a proud bust, and long, white legs. She was a perfect beauty, and her appearance immediately made her the most dazzling star of the night.

The woman on the right was wearing a blue evening gown, with a short, playful Shag hairstyle and a slim figure. Though not as stunning as the woman on the left, she was still a rare beauty.

The two women walked up the steps together, showed their invitations to the security guard, and entered the hotel.

Only after the two women disappeared from sight did Long Ze reluctantly turn his gaze away and said to the security guard, "If it's booked, why can they go in?"

The security guard sneered, "Because they are the main guests Young Master Fu invited for the night!"

"Damn, they're so beautiful, no wonder Young Master Fu is willing to go to such lengths for them." Long Ze muttered, clapped his hands, and shouted, "If this place won't have us, there are other places that will. Let's go, let's go to Golden Brick KTV and have some fun."

So, the "rainbow candies" reluctantly left the entrance of the Imperial Hotel.

Little Yellow pouted and said, "Brother Long, rich people are different. They can book an entire five-star hotel just to pick up girls. Damn!"

Little Green glanced at Little Yellow and said, "Didn't you see that girl just now? If I were Young Master Fu, I'd be willing to spend a fortune on her too!"

Long Ze waved his hand irritably and said, "Enough, stop whining! So what if they're rich? Tonight was a letdown, but it's no big deal. Tomorrow night, I'll take you to Jiangnan Waterfront, rent a villa, and throw a party. We'll play and have fun as much as we want. Then you'll see what it's like to be rich!"

Little Yellow's eyes lit up, and he smiled, "Brother Long, you have a villa in Jiangnan Waterfront?"

Long Ze lifted his chin proudly and said, "Just call more girls, and leave the rest to your Brother Long!"

"Trust Brother Long, no problem!"

Hearing about the upcoming event, the "rainbow candies" cheered up again. They laughed and joked as they left the Imperial Hotel.
