Chapter 64: Continental Hotel

~7 min read 1,334 words

"What am I going to buy a broken hotel for?" Tony, who was asked to be dazed, retorted.

Henry said casually: "I don't know. Maybe you want to transform the whole building into a giant robot; or transform it into a love hotel, and then install hidden cameras everywhere..."

"OK, one delusion, one bastard idea. If you really plan to do this, don't say I know you when you go out."

Henry, who was warned, shrugged indifferently, anyway, he never thought about using the name 'Tony Stark' to go out and cheat.

Really think this name brings a good reputation. The Kryptonian was still afraid of being beaten by some enemy who popped out of nowhere after reporting this name.

"Not joking with you. Do you still remember that thing we had before?" Tony asked.

Henry, upon hearing this, immediately said vigilantly: "What thing before? There is no past between us, Young Master Stark. I have to emphasize again, I am innocent."

"F***! Even if I sleep with your wrinkled old mother, I won't look at you straight. I'm not talking about that."

In view of the mother in the previous life, Tony didn't have a chance; in this life, he didn't even know who she was. So Henry didn't take this degree of verbal attack to heart at all.

The two of them couldn't help but take a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray to moisten their throats.

Tony Stark, who had slightly calmed his emotions, said again: "We encountered a killer attack at the banquet in Los Angeles before. According to my information, those killers came from the Continental Hotel."

"So?" Henry, who had long smelled the taste of trouble, tried to muddle through, but clearly didn't succeed. He had to respond with an indifferent attitude.

Tony was, of course, dissatisfied with such an attitude, but he knew not to go off-topic, otherwise he would definitely be led astray by this person. So he stuck to the theme and said: "I want to find you to go to the Continental Hotel with me to ask for an explanation."

"Not interested." Henry said bluntly.

Tony, whose words stalled, realized something and said with slight anger: "I know that in the situation that day, you actually didn't have any danger. —"

The young master thoughtfully remembered not to expose Henry's specialness in public.

"—But you were troubled by someone, and you didn't have any response? If you show that you are weak and easy to bully, more people will bully you."

Really think the young master of the Stark family hasn't encountered school bullying? He read books by skipping grades, surrounded by children older than himself, and was a rich kid.

There were always some kids without eyes looking for trouble, finding him. Father didn't care about his life or death, — in Tony's eyes it was so, — so he could only save himself.

Whenever he encountered bullying, Young Master Tony always fought back fiercely with his own strength! Only by relying on himself to beat the other party until they didn't dare to fight back, would this kind of thing stop.

If the other party went home crying to find their father, then let's see whose backing was harder! Anyway, Howard Stark, who was brought by the school, couldn't let outsiders deal with his only son no matter what.

And because of doing this, he could see the shit-eating expression of old Stark, so Tony was a bit addicted to it.

Fortunately, he still considered the reputation of the Stark family and didn't change from the role of being bullied and fighting back to being a bully.

But returning to the matter of the killers sent by the Continental Hotel almost taking his life. If he didn't fight back, he couldn't swallow this breath no matter what.

It was just that he hadn't been able to find clues to the Continental Hotel. He thought that this kind of killer organization should be rolling in some sewer. If he wanted to ask, he could only ask the same rats drilling in the sewer to find the other party.

It was a pity he didn't know such people, and today he came to find Henry.

Who knew that all of this was actually black under the lamp! People were operating their business openly on the table, and even truly had a hotel in operation.

Since he knew from Henry's mouth, and the two were people who had experienced that gun battle together, so Tony invited him. If he had found the clues himself, he would probably have gone to the door to ask for an explanation, and wouldn't have spent the effort to find this coward.

However, Henry said disapprovingly: "You said those killers were sent by the Continental Hotel, it sounds to me like this is an organization that takes money to do things. Those killers, to put it bluntly, are just tools.

"If you want to find trouble, shouldn't you find the culprit's trouble. Finding tools to vent your anger, what kind of hero is that? I'm not saying that if someone bullies you, we have to obediently be bullied.

"It's just that if you have a grudge, solve it on the spot, and leaving it overnight won't generate interest. The people who shot at us that day were mostly beaten down, and some were even beaten to death. Isn't that enough?

"Don't tell me the Continental Hotel still has to come to you for the problem of the wounded or dead that day, and make a fuss without end? If not, what's the point of pursuing the people who ran away or the Continental Hotel organization afterwards?

"This is like being bitten by a dog. If you didn't kick the dog away on the spot and let it run, because our mood isn't beautiful, so I have to try every means to find the dog and bite it back.

"Shouldn't you find the owner who indulged the dog or commanded the dog to bite people? People are the point, what's the point of getting angry with a dog.

"Besides, from the final situation that day, the whole thing was just us being affected, purely a disaster of no fault of our own. You are neither someone's target, nor does anyone want to silence you. Then getting involved in this matter, wouldn't it be asking for more trouble."

Actually, Tony also knew that what Henry said didn't have any flaws. But what Tony didn't say was that he wanted to find the Continental Hotel, actually, it was to find the real mastermind behind the execution event that day. The controller of that island.

It was just that according to the warning of that financial circle big shot, Alex Hart, the executed Josh Hilton was because of his big mouth, talking everywhere about the island, which annoyed the people behind him, and then bought killers to kill him.

So Tony didn't directly go everywhere to inquire about the island's news. Instead, he started from the Continental Hotel, which was secret but not so taboo.

But even if he really found the hotel... what to do next, Tony didn't have an idea for the time being. In the case of not knowing the opponent's background, any plan had no substantial meaning.

Tony just asked Henry: "You really don't intend to help me?"

"Help you with what? You look like you want to take a machine gun into someone's hotel and sweep, am I going to be a meat shield?" Henry retorted, and then said:

"Since the other party is an organization, I think it would be more useful for you to bring a box of money over than for me to bring a gun and go with you. If you are afraid that the protection of money is not enough, then change it to a box of gold bricks, how about it? At least when bullets come, maybe it can block a bullet."
