I’m A Quadrillionaire chapter 237
Capital City, a city with a long history and rich culture.
It was also ranked as the world’s largest international metropolis.
In recent years, due to the geographical location of Springfield, its economy had gradually begun to catch up with Capital City, but Capital City’s overall ranking as the world’s number one metropolis was still unbreakable.
When David arrived in Capital City, he did not contact the Special Task Force and Falcon immediately since it was already evening. Instead, he planned to go to a hotel, rest for a night, and then contact them the next day.
David had also longed to come to Capital City for a long time. Now that he was finally here, he was ready to experience this city’s rich history and culture.
David left the airport and took a taxi.
“Driver, get me to the best hotel nearby,” David said after getting into the car.
The driver was a middle-aged man. As soon as he heard David’s accent, he knew that he was not a local. In addition, David did not pay much attention to his clothes, so he looked like an ordinary person.
Therefore, he thought to himself, ‘Youngsters these days have such exaggerated opinions of their abilities. He’s asking for the best hotel as soon as he opens his mouth.
“This is Capital City, the world’s largest city. Does he know how expensive the best hotels here
are?’
It was no exaggeration to say that the price of staying one night in the best luxury suite in this kind of hotel was almost the same price as a house in some small cities in remote areas.
This was no joke!
However, since the other party had asked, he did not say anything and took David straight to the ten-star chain hotel, Starry Night Hotel.
David did not know how much the driver detoured, but he reached the Starry Night Hotel after half an hour and did not question it.
After all, it was not easy for the people living in the low ranks of society. Plus, he did not lack money anyway.
After paying the fare, David entered the Starry Night Hotel.
However, the middle-aged driver did not leave, but instead, he waited in place.
In his opinion, it would not take long for David to come out after being frightened by the
super high price inside. When that happened, he would drive David around for a while to find him an ordinary hotel. In that way he would be able to make a lot of money.
Aside from detouring for a while, he even snuck in two extra trips with David. The most important thing was that David never questioned him. It was not easy to find this kind of person.
Five minutes later…
‘Why hasn’t he come out yet?’
Ten minutes later…
Half an hour later…
“Damn, I ran into someone who played dumb to take advantage of me. F*ck me, I misjudged him and wasted half an hour,” the middle-aged driver cursed and drove away.
Once David entered the hotel, he walked to the front desk.
“Sir, how can I help you?” A beautiful woman at the front desk of the hoțel asked politely.
“Get me a room,” David said.
“Alright, sir. May I know if you want a single room or a double room? Do you want a standard room or a luxury room?”
“Get me the most expensive room in your hotel.”
“Sir, the most expensive and luxurious suite in our hotel costs 188888 dollars per night. Despite the high price, it will also have high-quality service that matches the price. Are you sure you want it?”
“Yes.”
“Alright, may I know how long you need it for?”
“I’ll have it for a week first.”
“Alright, please wait.”
The beautiful woman started to operate the computer skillfully and was done in less than a minute.
“Sir, the luxury suite will be yours for a week. The total is 1322216 dollars, please choose your payment method.”
David chose fingerprint and confirmed the payment.
d David followed the attendant upstairs under the admiring eyes o
au VIU LUVIU
The room was soo f the receptionist.
Then, he followed the attendant to the 68th floor.
“Sir, this is your room. You can contact us anytime you need anything. There’s a call button in the room, and when you press it, we’ll get to you as soon as possible.”
“I got it. Thanks.”
After David entered the room, he shut the door, took a shower, and then lay down in bed to
rest.
At the same time, he was wondering if he knew anyone in Capital City. After all, when someone got to an unfamiliar place, the first thing that would come to their mind was whether they had any acquaintances around.
However, after thinking about it, apart from Celia, a high school classmate, there seemed to b e no one he knew in Capital City.
He originally came from a small county, and since he had low self-esteem because of his childhood experiences, he did not have any particularly good friends.
Most of his classmates were in South River Province and some were in other provinces. Not everyone could get admitted to an international metropolis like Capital city. Aside from Celia, he was already considered the best prospect to come out of Shu City High.
Finally, he sent a message to Celia.
Since he promised Celia that he would contact her, David kept his promise.
Now, he only wanted to follow his heart. He would do whatever he wanted to do and there was no longer any need to cower away from his desires.
David: (Celia, I’ve already arrived at Capital City. I’ll come to see you when I’m finished with m y business. You’re at Greenwood University, right? I was sent by my university for an academic exchange at Greenwood University this time. We will be classmates again!]
In less than a minute, Celia replied to his text.
Celia: (Really? That’s great! Hurry up and finish your work then, I’ll wait for you.]
f
David: (Okay, I’ll rest first. I just got off the plane and I’m a little tired. Goodnight.]
Celia: (Okay, rest well. Goodnight.]
After Celia sent the message, a smile started appearing at the corners of her mouth uncontrollably.
Coincidentally, Mindy, who was sitting opposite her, spotted it.
“Celia, is that David person coming to Capital City?” Mindy asked.
However, Celia ignored her. She was still staring at the phone and smiling.
“Celia!” Mindy called out again.
No reaction.
“Celia!” This time, she was being quite loud, which scared Jon, who was sitting on the side.
“Huh? Mom, can you be softer? Are you trying to scare me to death? I’m not deaf,” Celia said unhappily.
“Be softer? You wouldn’t hear me even if I call you ten times in a soft voice.”
“N-No, what do you mean?” Celia muttered.
“What do you mean no? I called you twice and you didn’t even react. What’s so exciting? Is David in Capital City?”
“N-No! He said he’ll only come in a few more days. He even said that he was sent by his university to do an academic exchange in Greenwood University,” Celia answered.
“Oh? Sending students from South River University to Greenwood for academic exchange? That’s not easy. It seems that David is doing well in SRU. Only students who perform well in school will get a place in this kind of exchange.” Jon was the one who spoke this time.
“Of course! I have a good eye,” Celia said proudly.
She was elated when she heard her father praising David..
