In American TV shows: Get stronger by spending money!

Page 138

In the hotel's best room, several female staff members were busy changing the room's furnishings. The most expensive carpet covered the entire floor, along with the most expensive sofa, chairs, and bedding. Even the toiletries in the bathroom were replaced with the most expensive and best available on the market, and even the curtains were changed.

In short, the renovated room is almost a complete transformation from the previous one. This change is not only in the decoration, but even the layout has been slightly altered.

The manager accompanied Mr. Su on a tour of the furnished room and asked him solicitously, "Sir, are you satisfied?"

"It's alright." Mrs. Su noncommittally took out several stacks of US dollars, which amounted to about fifty thousand. "The waitress who served me earlier deserves a five hundred dollar tip, you keep one thousand, and the rest is in the account."

“Thank you so much for your generosity, sir.” The manager became even more eager: “Sir, please feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything. I mean… anything.”

Su raised an eyebrow and smiled, "I'm afraid you can't meet my needs."

The manager smiled and said confidently, "Sir, why don't you tell me? Maybe I can do it."

"I'm looking for a zoo that has magical creature shows. Can you help me find one?" Su asked casually.

The manager hesitated for a moment, then said, "I... I'm not sure, but I can give it a try."

"Get me something to eat, I'm hungry."

"Okay, sir."

The manager turned and left.

Su walked to the balcony and looked out at the gradually thinning crowd on the street and the darkening sky. She casually left a Flying Thunder God mark nearby.

After Newt is taken to the Magical Congress by Tina, he should soon discover that his suitcase has been switched. They have Jacob's suitcase containing the cake. Although no magical creatures will come out to cause trouble once the suitcase is in their hands, Newt and Tina don't know that. They will definitely try to find the suitcase as soon as possible, which means... find themselves.

Therefore, even though they were prepared to participate in the 'plot,' the Su family did not intend to take the initiative, but rather wait for them to come to them.

"Bang bang bang."

A knock sounded on the door, followed by a waiter's voice: "Sir, someone says he's here to ask you for $500."

"come in."

Su replied and turned to look at the door.

Outside the door, a man dressed in tattered clothes with bloodstains cautiously walked in. As soon as he entered, he looked down and noticed the expensive carpet that covered the entire room. He immediately stopped walking, afraid that he would get it dirty and be unable to afford to pay for it.

“Sir, I…” He hesitated, unsure of how to begin.

Mrs. Su walked over and took out five hundred US dollars: "It's yours."

"Don't you need to verify this?" the man asked, taking the money.

Su chuckled: "Five hundred US dollars is just a tip for the waiter to me. You cheated me, I lost almost nothing, but if I find out, hehe... how many tips do you think you're worth?"

"I, I absolutely did not deceive you," the man hurriedly assured him.

Ms. Su patted his shoulder noncommittally: "There's a job that pays ten thousand US dollars, do you want to do it?"

"Ten thousand US dollars?" The man swallowed hard, then hesitated and said, "Sir, I'd like to! But... but I don't know if I can find out."

“If you’re careful and have enough luck, it should be easy to do.” With a flick of his wrist, Su handed a Flying Thunder God kunai to the man: “Just deliver it to a hotel called Cortez in Los Angeles, California, and I’ll give you a reward of ten thousand US dollars.”

After saying that, Ms. Su took out another five thousand US dollars and handed it to him: "This is half of the advance payment. I will give you the other half after delivery."

"Just, that's it?"

Yes, that's all!

"Okay, I promise I'll deliver it."

"Don't worry too much if something unexpected happens along the way. Whether it's the dagger or you, as long as you get to the place I just mentioned, it's fine!" Su comforted him, lest he lose the kunai and run back or run away.

Although finding him was easy, Sue's goal was not to punish him, but to get him to the Cortez Hotel.

The man carefully left with the kunai and the $5,000 advance payment. Transportation wasn't as convenient these days, and the journey across almost the entire United States would probably take some time. Su would regularly monitor his and the kunai's location.

Although he left the Flying Thunder God mark in various places in the future, and the Flying Thunder God mark is indestructible, this is the past. Theoretically, the Flying Thunder God mark has not been left yet. If you want to go to Los Angeles, you either need to travel there in the normal direction, or send someone or something with the Flying Thunder God mark there.

As for why we chose the Cortez Hotel, the reason is simple: this hotel is the central location of the fifth season of the American horror series, and it is also a 'horror' hotel.

This hotel is home to vampires, ghosts, and marginalized people. Once you enter this hotel, or die in this hotel, you will be trapped here forever.

Why was Su so certain that the Cortez Hotel existed in this world?

Because when Suki was with Lisa Trinity in Good Time Town, she discovered Lisa's secret through her mind-reading ability, and Lisa revealed why she came to Good Time Town.

Lisa Trinity originally planned to go on vacation to Los Angeles, but when she checked into the Cortez Hotel, the hotel owner mistook her for someone she knew and revealed her vampire identity to her, trying to turn her into a vampire as well. In a panic, Lisa Trinity ran out of the hotel, without even taking her luggage, and boarded the fastest flight to leave Los Angeles.

At that time, Sue had already realized that this world incorporated the plot of American Horror Story, but she had just gotten together with Lisa Trinity, and then there were many other things going on, and the main plot had not yet started, so she was not in a hurry to go.

As for why we should go now?

On one hand, he wanted to leave a Flying Thunder God mark in advance so that he could verify later whether the mark was truly impossible to erase; on the other hand, he was interested in that hotel.

The soul of anyone who dies in the hotel will be trapped inside, and it exists 'very realistically' within the hotel. This hotel should be very effective if combined with Impure World Reincarnation or other resurrection ninjutsu.

"Bang bang bang!"

The knock on the door sounded again.

"Sir, your dinner is ready." A voice came from outside the door.

The door opened, and a man and a woman pushed in a food cart. The cart was a normal food cart, emitting a pleasant aroma from under its white cover, but whether the waiters were honest or not was another matter; he didn't recall Newt and Tina ever working as hotel waiters!

Chapter 252 Either agree to my conditions, or come and take it yourself!

Newt and Tina pushed the food cart in, and as soon as they entered, their eyes quickly scanned the entire room.

No!

No suitcase!

Newt and Tina exchanged a glance, and Newt couldn't help but look at Mr. Sue: "You, you're called Mr. Sue, right? Mr. Sue, do you have a brown briefcase? You got it from a man named Jacob not long ago."

Ms. Su sat leisurely on the sofa, gesturing for the two to bring over dinner first, then casually said, "Yes, what's up?"

“Could you give me back that box? It’s my box. I accidentally mixed it up with Jacob’s, so…” Newt pulled out an identical box from under the food cart. Inside were several cakes. “This is his box, and it’s the box you want.”

Mr. Su picked up his cutlery, tasted the best-class dinner offered by the hotel, and pursed his lips. The taste and ingredients were so-so, far from what he considered the best, but for this hotel, it was probably the best.

“Sir?” Tina called out.

Su looked at Tina, who then took out her 14 identification documents again and went straight to the point: "I am from the Magical Congress. We have questioned that Muggle. You should be a wizard too, right? Do you know that wizards are not allowed to use magic in front of Muggles? Also, why don't you erase their memories after you use magic?"

Do you know how much trouble this will cause?

"Ahem..." Newt coughed lightly, looking at Tina who had unknowingly dragged him into questioning her, and gave her a wink.

Tina realized what was happening and abruptly changed the subject: "There are very dangerous magical creatures in that box. You must hand the box over to us."

"must?"

Su raised an eyebrow slightly, slowly savoring the food in her mouth. "What do you mean by 'must'?"

“You have to hand over the box, or I’ll have to take you back to the Magic Congress,” Tina said in a deep voice.

Su laughed: "On what grounds?"

"Because you violated the regulations."

“No, I mean, what right do you, a former Auror working in a cushy department, have to arrest me? Especially… you, who were demoted for using magic without permission!” Su looked at Tina with great interest.

Tina was first startled, then stunned, and then revealed the embarrassment of her lie being exposed, as well as curiosity and confusion about Su: "You, how do you know all this?"

"Does it matter?" Madam Su pursed her lips and waved her hand, gesturing for her to come closer.

"Come closer."

"Come here more."

"You're too tall, squat down."

"Don't look at me like that, like you want to eat me alive. You want the box, right? You came to my room out of nowhere and threatened me to hand it over. What? Do I have to get up and respectfully offer it to you with both hands? Is there a problem with making you kneel down to take the box?"

Sue's words silenced Tina, who was about to turn hostile. There was nothing she could do; they were in the wrong, and Tina was indeed very tall, even taller than Newt when they stood together.

Tina squatted down next to the sofa. While eating and drinking, Su patted Tina's body with his hand. Then, he activated the ethereal effect, and in the distorted and rotating space, the box fell into Tina's hand.

Tina stared blankly at Su Shi: "What kind of magic is this?"

"Would you like to learn?" Mrs. Su asked with a smile.

Tina shook herself out of her daze, then stood up and handed the box to Newt for inspection. Newt opened the box, nodded to her, and then jumped inside, presumably to check on the magical creatures.

Su's shadow clones have long since disbanded, and all the magical creatures inside are still there.

It wasn't that Su was uninterested in the magical creatures inside; it was just that his primary goal wasn't there. In any case, his shadow clones had already left the Flying Thunder God mark on the box and the magical creatures inside, so he could take them away whenever he wanted.

Besides, magical creatures also need care. Keeping them here would only affect the development of the 'plot' and my primary goal, without any other benefits.

The purpose of taking this box was simply to leave the Flying Thunder God mark and to make Newt and Tina come to him. As for the magical creatures inside—rather than taking them away and not knowing how to take care of them, it was better to kidnap Newt as well.

Newt isn't the kind of person who craves power or has an overwhelming sense of justice. In fact, he's an outcast or an oddball among wizards. His hobby is magical creatures, and his ideal life is to find all sorts of magical creatures and befriend them.

Otherwise, given his performance in those two films, it's impossible that he wasn't mentioned at all during the Harry Potter era, except for a textbook about magical creatures. He neither joined the Order of the Phoenix nor fought against Voldemort with Dumbledore.

Is it better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish?

Haha, why not just take the fisherman away?

"Where are you from?" Tina asked Su.

Newt from the United States was already giving her a headache, and now an Eastern wizard has appeared out of nowhere. Given the series of magical attacks on New York, she has to be very careful.

“I’m tracking a magical circus, and the circus has a magical creature from the East, the Zouwu!” Sue glanced at Newt, who was just emerging from the suitcase. “You can have the suitcase back, and you don’t need to compensate me for what I paid to get it, but I have one request.”

"any request?"

"Have you found the Zouwu?"

Tina and Newt asked one after the other.

Su looked at the two of them and shook her head: "I want the Seamless Stretch Spell."

“Impossible. The Unseen Stretching Spell is a highly controlled advanced spell. I would never casually give such a spell to a stranger like you.” Tina refused without even thinking.

Newt seemed about to say something but the decisive Tina had already grabbed him and Apparated away.

"So eager..." Watching the two disappear, Madam Su chuckled and shook her head, whispering, "No, you can't take the box."
