My Waste Husband -
Chapter 1154
Chapter 1154
Sister Hui led Henry into the VIP room. They looked consecutively at several empty rooms, but she did not arrange for Henry to stay in any of them.
Sister Hui could not understand why Mr. Dong would allow a kitchen staff to stay in the VIP lounge. This area was meant as a reception for people of importance. How was he qualified for such treatment? The tiny kitchen chef had to work for a lifetime just to acquire wealth equivalent to the price of the bed of the room alone. What right did he have to stay in the VIP lounge?
Sister Hui led Henry around the VIP room for more than ten minutes. They checked every room several times, but never made any arrangements for Henry.
As he passed by another room, Henry could not help asking, "How long more do we have to walk?"
"Don't hurry me!" an impatient Sister Hui snapped back rudely, "I really don't get it. What gave you the audacity to stay in the VIP room? Do you know the kind of people who get to stay in here? Do you even know how much a night in here costs?" "I can pay for it." Henry felt for his pocket. It was clear that his mobile phone was a domestic product worth about a thousand over Yuan, but after Future's modifications, it was an absolute digital fort protected by firewalls and also had various functions.
"Pay for it?" Sister Hui looked at Henry contemptuously. "Do you have any idea how much you'd even have to pay for this evening? Say, why are you even trying to be pretentious with me? Are you thinking that I would take one more look at you more often if you pretended to be more accomplished? Let me tell you, I have seen enough of your kind. You keep pretending to be more than what you really are, but in truth you are actually nothing! This is your room, go on in."
After Sister Hui said that, she strode off unhappily.
Henry just shook his head in silence. Rest was the only thing on his mind. Anything other than that was not important. Besides, Sister Hui and he were humans of different worlds. He saw no need to explain anything.
Henry locked the door the moment he stepped into the room. Hethen scanned through it. After confirming that there were no hidden cameras in the room, he sat cross-legged on the floor of the room. He gradually calmed down after several deep breaths, his breathing began to deepen. A faint figure of a lotus flower appeared indistinctly above his head. The lotus flower slowly emanated a colourless light, which was Henry inhaled then exhaled slowly. This process went on endlessly.
Henry could also feel his strength recovering, and the remaining Qi left in his wounds caused by the cheetah man gradually seeped out.
As time went by, the night darkened.
Night had fallen, people partied on at the deck of the cruise ship. The sound of music was deafening, but it could not affect those who stayed in the VIP room.
It was only at 1 o'clock after midnight that the crowd on the deck gradually began to disperse. The crew members began to clean up the remains of the party around the swimming pool.
Two fast and agile figures appeared from the dark and wandered across the deck.
"I'll go to the cabins, you go up there. We have to find him tonight, or it'll be too difficult to find him when the ship arrives at the shore!" the cheetah man said.
The chameleon man said nothing. He moved his body and merged completely into the darkness. He could exploit the advantage of the chameleon to its full potential in the darkness.
At 1:30A.M., Henry, who had been sitting cross-legged in his room since the afternoon, suddenly opened his eyes. He exhaled slowly, glanced at the time, and murmured, "It's about time."
Henry got up slowly and glanced through the window behind him. He knew that the chameleon man would not let any room go unchecked. The VIP room at the very top of the cruise ship was not too large, Sister Hui had taken Henry a few rounds around it, and that only lasted less than ten minutes. The way Henry saw it, if he had wanted to find someone within the VIP room, he could definitely do it. He just needed to check the rooms one by one.
The sound of muffled footsteps found its way into Henry's ears. The sound was so soft that ordinary people might not be able to hear it, but for Henry, it was clear enough for him. He knew that the chameleon man had come.
It was midnight, people were most tired and relaxed at that time. The check-down Henry had conducted upon entering the room was very likely to be simply done by the chameleon man.
The soft sound of footsteps did not have a quick rhythm.
Henry raised his feet slowly and walked up carefully to the door. He did not intend to leave through the door or window. As an expert of the Qi-concentrating Realm, Henry was very clear of how terrifying the strength of a Qi-concentrating Realm expert could be. The chameleon man would immediately notice the moment Henry pulled at the door handle and would rush over as quickly as he could. If that happened, it would result in another heated chase. Moreover, Henry was sure that he would not have the higher ground if the chase broke out.
By hiding behind the door, Henry could react instantly if anything were to happen. He was now enveloped in the dark anyway. The best he could do was to prepare himself for every possibility. If he could find an opportunity to give the chameleon man a heavy blow the moment he entered, that would be best.
Henry slowly took out his broken sword. Based on the intensity of this broken sword, no matter how quickly the chameleon could react, he would still be heavily wounded by this sword. That way Henry would not have to fear either of them as he was already familiar with the attacking rhythm of the
cheetah man, and the chameleon man would have been badly injured. In that situation, it would be much harder for them to gain the upper hand over Henry.
The light footsteps gradually approached the room Henry was in.
Henry held his breath and stared at the doorknob in front of him, ready to sprint into action any
time.
Henry could clearly see that the doorknob being pressed down slightly. At the same time, Henry also slowly raised his arm. Henry would make his move the second the door opened.
Just as the doorknob went down halfway, a hint of killing intent flashed across Henry's eyes. Just when Henry was about to strike, the doorknob that was pressed down suddenly bounced back.
A subtle voice sounded from outside the door.
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to check the deck?"
"There's no smell of that guy on the deck. That fella is definitely here, the smell of him is still very strong. This guy is very cunning. Let's stick together and be careful."
"All right."
The voices of the chameleon and cheetah men could be clearly heard.
Henry's heart sank. The cheetah and chameleon man have joined up. The situation had become much difficult for him. The doorknob of his room was pressed down again once more, if it finally opened, it would be the chameleon and cheetah men he would have to face.
Judging the situation of that moment, Henry quickly made up his mind. Since he had nowhere to hide, he decided not to.
Before the doorknob was fully pressed down, Henry took the initiative to press it down. Then he immediately yanked the door open.
The chameleon and cheetah men outside the door felt that something amiss the second Henry touched the doorknob from the inside, and they reacted immediately. The moment the door opened, none of them said anything. Vicious looks flashed across their eyes, each of them fully prepared to strike.
At the same moment, Henry flicked his finger and a tiny burst of Qi shot out at them. The chameleon and cheetah men subconsciously prepared to dodge.
However, Henry's burst of chi was not targeted them, but at the famous paintings that were hanging in the corridors opposite the room.
Crack!
A clear crack sounded, and the glass cover that protected the famous painting cracked instantly.
