Chapter 42 The Continental Hotel
With embossed gold walls, large crystal chandeliers hanging from pure white ceilings, and textured marble floors, the hotel lobby is decorated with dozens of expensive sofas and hallways decorated with authentic cultural relics from a long history.
The Continental Hotel in Rome is completely different from what Lin Cheng expected, because this is a luxurious palace at all.
The guests were in a hurry, and there were all kinds of people, but what was the same was that they were all dressed in very stylish clothes, and at the same time exuded a cold and piercing low pressure, which made Lin Cheng feel as if he had come to a dangerous occasion for a while.
However, it seems that it is not wrong to think about it carefully, after all, the vast majority of the people here are members of the Continental Hotel, that is, Lin Cheng's colleagues, a group of dangerous killers who do not know how many lives in their hands are gathered together, although this place seems to be very high-class, but it is indeed dangerous.
Luckily, there are hands-free rules at the Continental Hotel, which is safe while dangerous.
Vernal, who led the way, seemed to be familiar with this place, and led Lin Cheng directly to the front desk of the hotel, where the two were greeted by a young and tall black girl, wearing a black cardigan suit, revealing the deep furrow on her chest, and speaking fluent Italian.
"Welcome to the Continental Hotel Rome, you two, do you need anything?"
"Hello, we're looking for Mr. Giulias."
Vernal pulled out a black poker-sized card from his jacket pocket, which was stamped with the logo of the League of Assassins, the emblem of the League of Assassins that Lin Cheng had seen countless times in textile factories.
To be honest, the shape is somewhat similar to the icon of the Assassin's Creed game, but the details are different, but considering the release time of the game and the movie, it should be the emblem of the League of Assassins that pays tribute to the emblem of Assassin's Creed, and even the setting of the Brotherhood is probably a tribute.
The woman at the front desk took the card from Vernal's hand, examined it carefully, and gave it back to him.
Then, she picked up the phone at the front desk and called the Mr. Giulias.
"Sir, there's a guest from the League of Assassins at the front desk who wants to see you."
"Let them come to my office."
A moment later, in the hotel's manager's office, Lin Cheng met the manager of the Continental Hotel, Julias.
The other party was a middle-aged white man in his forties and fifties, with black hair combed into an artist's pigtail at the back of his head, and his appearance had European characteristics, with a simple face but a sharp gaze.
In addition to a black Italian suit, he also wears a slender white scarf over his shoulders.
"You're from the League of Assassins, do you have anything to do with me?"
As soon as the other party opened his mouth, it was English with a strong Italian accent, Lin Cheng almost didn't understand what the other party was saying, the infinite building blocks could translate those languages he hadn't heard for him, and it could also allow him to spell, speak, read and write freely, but with an accent, it was a bit of a headache.
"Sir, we have a killer member who would like to sign up as a Continental Hotel member."
It wasn't until Lin Cheng got the membership card of the Continental Hotel that he knew why Mr. Angelo asked Vernal to bring the token of the Assassin League before leaving, and why he directly found the manager of the Continental Hotel to talk about it.
There is no restriction on anyone who can become a member of the hotel, but if you want to become a member of the hotel, you need to go through an assessment.
Killers have assessment tasks that belong to killers, intelligence officers have assessment tasks that belong to intelligence officers, and service personnel from all walks of life also have their own tasks, and they cannot become members of the Continental Hotel without going through the assessment.
There is one exception, that is, people like Lin Cheng.
The League of Assassins is subordinate to the High Table Board of Directors, and at the same time has its own clothing and textile industry in the Killer World, so, as the killer of the League of Assassins, Lin Cheng can directly join the Continental Hotel without going through the assessment and become a senior member of the hotel.
Lin Cheng got the hotel's senior membership card, which can not only prove Lin Cheng's hotel membership status, but also a savings card that can be used in mainland hotels all over the world.
However, instead of dollars, the savings are in the Killer Gold Coins, which are issued by the High Table and circulated in the Underworld.
After getting his own membership, Lin Cheng briefly understood the rules of the hotel.
At the heart of the matter is the hotel-wide rule that no killing is allowed, and once the rules set by the high table are broken, only death can be freed.
The hotel is a shelter, but the price of the shelter is very high, and you have to pay a gold coin for every night here.
If you have paid, you can use all the services of the hotel for free, including but not limited to food and beverage service and wine storage, no matter how excessive the request is, the hotel will try to accommodate it, unless you really can't find it.
In addition to room and board, the hotel also undertakes some other jobs, such as intelligence agencies.
You can buy the intel you need for gold here, take orders you want in the intelligence panel here, and even erase your wanted warrants from official agencies here.
There are also services such as gun customization, clothing customization, corpse cleanup, etc., all of which can be exchanged for killer coins.
In addition, to Lin Cheng's surprise, as a member, the hotel would actually give away a killer gold coin.
This is a killer gold coin worth 100,000 US dollars, and a service request that will basically not be rejected by the other party is actually given to the member like this, and you can enjoy a free hotel accommodation service on the same day until 12 o'clock at noon the next day.
When it comes to guest experience, the hotel's service is really impeccable.
Before leaving, Fernal made an appointment with Lin Cheng to meet at the hotel at nine o'clock in the morning the next day, and sent Lin Cheng to the Antonio family's manor outside the city of Rome to meet the VIP Miss Gianna Antonio, whom he wanted to protect.
Rome has a lot of nightlife, and the city is full of lights outside, but Lin Cheng did not leave the continental hotel, but came to the small bar on the side of the hotel.
Because of the high level of nervous activity, when he needs to rest, some alcohol can make him fall asleep well, so Lin Cheng has become accustomed to drinking some alcohol before going to bed......
It sounds a bit oily, but he really likes sweet liqueurs, which are sweet wines.
Standing behind the bar counter was a young bartender, who immediately came to Lin Cheng when he sat down.
"What do you need?"
"Likou, whatever you want, as long as it tastes good."
Lin Cheng shrugged his shoulders slightly, the expression on his face was a little relaxed.
Soon, the bartender presented a glass of Baileys made with cream, whiskey, vanilla extract and coffee, but just as Lin Cheng picked up the cup, he suddenly felt an eager gaze from behind him.
He turned around and found a young woman sitting on the couch not far behind him, staring at him.
