21 : Intruders

"He really came to the Moon Light Hotel!" Mona muttered in a surprised tone while staring at Kent, who was walking towards the entrance of the hotel.

"That's what I'm trying to prove. But you didn't believe my words." Ric said impatiently.

"You guys, stop quarreling and tell me how Kent became rich all of a sudden." Lina, who joined in spying on Kent, asked in a curious tone.

"We are here to find the exact reason for your question. Lina, Gus, let's follow Kent and see what he does inside the hotel. Who knows, he might be working as a janitor here." Mona said in a displeased tone as she patted the house eagle to move forward.

The receptionist greeted Kent, who was walking at a hurried pace. For some odd reason, Kent has the habit of speed walking, which he does unintentionally.

After exchanging a formal smile with the receptionist, Kent immediately climbed an eagle and went to his room. Without thinking much, he changed his clothes and went to the aura room to increase his magus level.

The aura room got locked automatically when he sat down for cultivation. But like yesterday, Kent forgot to lock the main door of the hotel room.

Outside the main door, Mona, Ric, Lina, and Gus stood in contemplation. "What should we do now? He is definitely staying in this room as a customer. Should I knock on the door?" Lina asked in a perplexed tone.

"Stop hurrying. If we encounter him directly, he won't tell the truth. First act like we saw him here accidentally, and after some conversation, I will make him spill the truth about his sudden wealth." Mona explained her plan in a hushed tone.

"Hey, what are you all doing here? This is the VIP floor, and you can't trespass here." A servant who was carrying an expensive wine bottle inquired in a serious tone.

"Hey old man, do you know the young master beside me? His father is a VIP customer here. We are here to meet my classmate. So, stop bothering us." Mona said in a proud tone while staring at the servant old man with a belittling look.

The servant hurriedly moved away, knowing that offending rich people is the worst thing to do in their jobs.

"Hahaha… now a days every Tom, Dick, and Harry were meddling in our business. Ric, you should give a lesson to that old man later." Mona added in a ridiculing tone as they laughed behind the servant.

Ric's laughter is a little forceful, as he knows the reality of the situation. Even though his father is a VIP customer at the Hotel Moonlight, it is of the lowest grade.

Even Ric didn't dare speak like that to the servant in the hotel moonlight, but Mona acted like she owned the hotel. Even though Ric worried for a second, relief came quickly as the servant left without questioning.

Guys, the door is not locked. Lina, who stood exactly opposite Kent's room door, shrieked in a hushed tone while controlling the excitement.

"As I thought, that poor fellow didn't even know how to lock the room door. Let's go inside. We will act like his close friends from the start, and I will gather information slowly.

We can even upload this scene to the school forum to get some popularity." Mona said excitedly as she took the lead in stepping inside Kent's hotel room.

Kent got full busy with his aura absorption, and the intruding gang failed to trace Kent for a long time.

"Where does this idiot go?" Mona muttered while checking the washroom, which is empty.

"Mona, look at this spa... It's filled with all kinds of expensive lotions. They even provided a custom face kit and makeup equipment." Lina cried out in surprise, as it is her first time witnessing a private suit in a high-end hotel.

Even Ric never saw a private suit, even though his father owns a VIP card. His face is glowing with surprise as there are facilities for the training area, neatly decorated weapons, a strength assessment Yantra circle, and many more, which he only dreams of trying once.

"Mona, the aura room is locked. Kent must be inside this room." Gus, who is secretly stealing a few valuable things from the hotel room, spoke from a distance. 

"Let him be... we will enjoy the ambience until he comes out. Let's take a few pictures and post them in our school forum. Let's make an uproar, guys." Mona said this excitedly and stepped inside the spa room to change her clothes for a special bath. Lina followed her after winking at Gus.

What the ladies didn't know was that Gus had already started recording the room to boast before his private friends, and he was very eager to take a few snaps of Mona and Lina in bikinis.

While the trio got busy, Ric began searching the cold storage for wine. After picking the most expensive one, Ric walked towards the spa room to share it with the ladies.

Inside the Aura room, Kent moved from 6th class Magus to 8th class Magus. Instead of rushing forward, he completely stopped absorbing Aura into his secondary mage circle attached to his backbone.

With complete focus, he began integrating and refining the three filled compartments in the second circle.

Seconds became minutes, and minutes became hours. Even after two hours, Kent still sat inside the aura room. Mona and her group, who were partying with the expensive wine, had already emptied two more bottles, and the special lotions that were placed for customer use were also finished.

"Mona, it seems Kent is sleeping inside the aura room. Shall we leave now?" Gus asked in a weak tone, worried that his thefts would be recognized if some servants came inside the room. 

"What's the hurry? I'm hungry. Let's order some food." Mona replied dismissively as she turned her gaze towards Ric, the only rich kid in their group.

Even though Ric is unwilling, he knows a fact, if the food is ordered from the room, the cost will be levied on the room owner, so he decided to take the gamble.

But what Ric didn't know was that, the Kent he knew was not the same Kent. If he knew what is going to happen in the future, Ric would have run away by now. But it's already too late for him.
