Chapter 1851: Useful to Keep Him Around

“Important guest?” Yang Ming smiled, “I guess.”

Batterton was relieved. This gentleman seemed considerably kind and easy-going. It seemed that as long as he served him with nice words, it would be easy to escape this time’s calamity.

“Sir, please wait for a moment. I will arrange the best room for you immediately!” Butterton said charmingly. “Sir, I’m very sorry about my previous rude behavior. Please don’t blame me. If you need anything, please let me know as soon as possible. I will do my best!”

“En,” Yang Ming nodded, “Hurry up and get it done.”

Yang Ming didn’t plan on doing anything to Batterton. To put it bluntly, this was Caique’s matter. What did it have to do with him? As long as Batterton solved the room problem, Yang Ming was too lazy to care about Batterton’s problematic work style and attitude. They were not his employees nor had they provoked him, so why should he care?

“Hurry and find the house card for the internal Premium Presidential Suite!” Batterton personally went to the front desk and commanded the concierge.

“Ah, okay!” The concierge also saw the boss’s anxiety and rushed to find him the room card. These internally reserved room cards were usually locked, so he had to unlock the drawer first to take them out.

Seeing the concierge’s slow movements, Batterton was a little anxious. In fact, the concierge was not slow. These things had to be done step by step, right? However, because Batterton was feeling anxious, seeing anything made him anxious. He directly snatched the key from the concierge’s hands, “I’ll do it!”

The concierge quickly stepped aside and let Batterton in. Batterton quickly opened the drawer and took out the Presidential Suite room card. However, he hesitated for a while before taking another room card for a second room close to the Presidential Suite. He thought that maybe Yang Ming had other friends, so he took two room cards. If it still was not enough, there were still a few rooms that were internally reserved for people of the Douglas family when they stayed temporarily.

Since Caique had already ordered him, he must do his best to satisfy Yang Ming. Yang Ming would only say a few nice words about him to Caique if he was satisfied. This way, he would not be punished.

Thinking about this key point, Batterton worked extra hard to please Yang Ming.

“Sir, the room cards are ready. This is the room card for the Presidential Suite on the top floor. It overlooks the whole city. There are two cards. If you don’t think this is enough, sir, just tell me directly!” Having said that, Batterton handed his business card to Yang Ming. “This is my business card. It has my office’s internal telephone number and my personal telephone number. If you need anything, please inform me directly. I will try my best to fulfill it!”

Yang Ming nodded. He really had something to request of Batterton. He still didn’t know which casino Zhang Bing and Zhang Jiefang were detained in. Even if he knew, Yang Ming would not rush to seek for them.

After all, he was abroad and was unfamiliar with the people and the location. Yang Ming did not want to act recklessly outside his sphere of influence. You emerge victorious when you know yourself and your enemy. Yang Ming intended to investigate the strength and background of this casino first.

Yang Ming took the business card and said, “Then, could I trouble Mr. Batterton with something in a while?.”

“No problem, no problem!” Batterton agreed in a hurry, “Sir, you see… in front of the Family Master…”

Batterton wanted Yang Ming to plead on his behalf to Caique. He believed that Caique would not hold him accountable anymore if Yang Ming put in a few good words. After all, his problem could be big or small. It all depended on Yang Ming’s attitude.

Batterton could become the CEO of one of the Douglas family’s large hotels. He was not a fool. His mistakes were minor at most. It was just a matter of having fun with a woman in the office. It was completely different from harming the hotel’s interests l. However, the key problem was that while having fun with a woman, he did not go downstairs to receive Yang Ming and angered Caique.

He believed that if Yang Ming didn’t plan to pursue the matter, Caique would let him off the hook.

Yang Ming also understood Batterton’s meaning. Yang Ming didn’t have to rush to exterminate him. He had something to request of Batterton, and he didn’t mind doing a favor that cost him nothing.

Just as Yang Ming nodded, the phone in his pocket rang. Although Yang Ming’s phone number could not be displayed on Caique’s end, Caique dialed Yang Ming’s domestic number. After transferring and roaming, Yang Ming promptly received the call.

“Hello?” Yang Ming answered the phone.

“Mr. Yang, this is Caique. How’s it going? Has that dunce Batterton come down? Mr. Yang, rest assured. I will punish him severely!” Caique said to Yang Ming sincerely.

“He came down already. He has a good attitude. There’s no need to punish him. It’s useful to keep him around,” Yang Ming said lightly.

“Ah… Okay, Mr. Yang. Whatever you say. Your orders are my direction in life!” Although Caique didn’t know for what purpose Yang Ming had to keep Batterton, it didn’t matter. Yang Ming had already decided to keep him around. It was best to know less about the things he should not know, or he would die quickly.

“En, that’s that. I’ll look for you again if there’s anything,” Yang Ming was too lazy to talk with Caique and hung up after a few words.

“Thank you, thank you!” Batterton didn’t expect Yang Ming to help him. He initially hoped that it was good enough if Yang Ming didn’t say bad things about him to Caique. However, he didn’t expect Yang Ming to compliment his attitude in front of Caique. This made Batterton feel like he had escaped a disaster. As a result, Batterton’s attitude toward Yang Ming became more respectful.

However, what Batterton did not expect was that Yang Ming’s casual words of “useful to keep him”, would become an anti-death gold medal in the future! After this, Batterton was unanimously impeached by his family members because of his major mistake managing the hotel. He was about to be removed from his job, but Caique suddenly remembered Yang Ming’s words—”useful to keep him around”!

Caique was shocked and hurriedly told everyone about this. As a result, everyone decided unanimously to let Batterton continue to be the manager of the Douglas Vast Hotel in Las Vegas.

Although he didn’t know what Yang Ming was keeping Batterton for, who dared to ask about it? If Yang Ming went to Las Vegas one day to look for Batterton and did not find him there, wouldn’t Yang Ming be angry with the entire Douglas family?

Who can bear this responsibility! Thus, Batterton emerged safely once again! When Butterton knew the truth, even he didn’t know what to say. He was just too lucky. Because of this previous matter, he was blessed by misfortune. One sentence of Yang Ming became his anti-death gold medal.

Batterton knew what Yang Ming meant by “useful to keep him around” because Yang Ming had said that he would request something from him later. Of course, Batterton was not stupid enough to explain it clearly.

But Batterton was prepared to worship Yang Ming as a god. This was his backer!

Looking at Batterton still standing beside him, Yang Ming glanced at him and asked, “Is there anything else?”

“Sir, don’t you have something you want to request from me?” Butterton said carefully.

“Oh, I’ll ask you about it later. You can go back first. I’ll call you when the time comes.” Yang Ming still had not figured out Zhang Bing and Zhang Jiefang’s whereabouts. He needed to have a detailed discussion with Wang Mei to figure these things out.

“Okay, then I’ll go back, sir. You can call me at any time!” Batterton didn’t know what Yang Ming’s surname was, and Caique had not mentioned it just now. So, he could only call Yang Ming ‘Sir’.

“Wang Mei, return to your room first. Pack up your luggage and stay in the Presidential Suite upstairs. There are two rooms. You can stay in one,” Yang Ming told Wang Mei.

“En…” Wang Mei was worried about Zhang Bing’s safety, so she didn’t care so much about the Presidential Suite or the like. Otherwise, if it was back then, she would have cheered with excitement.

Batterton escorted Yang Ming and Wang Mei to the elevator. He felt relaxed as he watched the elevator slowly ascend after its doors closed. He had finally completed his task and escaped danger.

Now, he had to report to Caique and tell him his arrangements. Although Caique had called before and learned from Yang Ming that he had handled it properly, it was better for him to call himself. It was also a show of respect for the Family Master.

“Boss, does that person not need to register…” The concierge at the front desk saw Yang Ming going upstairs after getting the room card and reminded Batterton worriedly.

“Register? What register! Do your job properly. Don’t care so much!” Batterton glared at her, and said in his heart, How can a person who the Family Master arranged for register? Isn’t this just looking to get beat up?

However, the concierge felt wronged. She was just reminding the boss according to the hotel regulations. She did not expect to get scolded for no reason. It was really bad luck.

Chapter 1852: Casino Information

Yang Ming helped Wang Mei move her luggage to the second Presidential Suite on the top floor. Wang Mei didn’t have much luggage. The heaviest bag contained the company publicity information Zhang Jiefang brought along and intel about the other companies.

Wang Mei apparently had no interest in the Presidential Suite. After placing her luggage with Yang Ming’s, Wang Mei said anxiously, “Brother Yang, the casino called again today and asked me to gather the money as soon as possible. Otherwise… they won’t be so courteous anymore…”

“How much?” Yang Ming frowned, “How did you reply to them?”

Yang Ming did not mention anything about this in the hotel lobby. He didn’t want others to know so he could remain unknown in case he took any radical actions

“I simply spoke according to Brother Yang’s orders and said that I have contacted people in the country to send the money here,” Wang Mei said. “They didn’t disclose how much money. They just asked me to head over, or wait for someone who can call the shots to talk to me in detail.”

“Why? Has the debt amount not been established yet?” Yang Ming was stunned. This casino asked people to send money but didn’t mention the amount. What could they send?

“Zhang Bing and Uncle Zhang gambled their lives…” Wang Mei smiled bitterly. “Who knows what the other party was betting at that time. This must be discussed with the other party in detail…”

“Is it not someone from the casino? So it’s another group of guests?” Yang Ming listened to Wang Mei’s words and nodded slightly. If they had bet their lives, the stakes would be big. Who knew what the other party would ask for their lives.

“En, I heard that it is another group of guests. However, the casino also has a commission fee. We bring the money over, and the casino will take every opportunity they can to make a profit. This potentially a lot of income. That’s why they’re being so active, right?” Wang Mei did not understand the overall situation. As a girl, she was afraid to go to the casino to investigate. She was afraid that she would be detained, at which point she would not be able to ask for help.

“Commission?” Yang Ming smiled lightly. Things were not as simple as Wang Mei thought. Casinos had casino rules, especially in places like Las Vegas that were famous for casinos. The industry standards and management of casinos must be quite comprehensive, and the management agencies would also carry out strict supervision. This even happened in Macau, so how could it not be the case in Las Vegas?

If it was not a particularly big benefit, would they risk detaining gamblers? Even if they wanted a commission, this was a gambler dispute. What would they stand up for?

There was already a smell of evil underlying this!

“Which casino?” Yang Ming asked.

“This casino is called South City, and it’s very large,” said Wang Mei. The casino typically had an English name. Wang Mei directly said the English name of the casino.

“SOUTH CITY [1]? Southern City? [1]” Yang Ming was not familiar with the casino industry and did not know what kind of background this South City had.

“That should be the translation? I don’t know,” Wang Mei said.

“Do you know the background of this South City?” Yang Ming asked.

“Well… I am unfamiliar with the people and the place. I have no one to ask about it. The computer search engines here are all in English. Although I understand English, I only know some common terms. I don’t know these professional terms, nor can I find any useful information. I just searched their promotional website and address and have no other information,” Wang Mei said.

“I’ll ask someone else to inquire about it.” It was difficult to search for background or influence online. Yang Ming simply did not believe that direct searches could find anything useful.

Yang Ming picked up the room’s telephone and dialed the internal phone number on the business card that Batterton had given him before. “Is this Batterton? This is Yang Ming.”

Batterton had already called Caique just now and learned Yang Ming’s surname. Receiving a call from Yang Ming now, he quickly and carefully said, “Mr. Yang, what do you need me to do?”

“Do you know the South City Casino?” Yang Ming said, “Help me gather information about this casino. The more complete it is, the better. It is best if you write out their background and influence.”

“South City? Okay, I’ll do it!” Butterton was also very connected to Las Vegas. He had a channel to inquire about these things. It was not difficult to fulfill and Yang Ming’s request, so he immediately relaxed. He thought that Yang Ming had something important for him to do. He was nervous just now, fearing danger. But now it seemed that this was too simple.

Batterton immediately got busy after he hung up the phone. Using his contacts in Las Vegas, he quickly compiled an investigation report on the South City Casino.

Batterton took the investigation report and knocked on the door of Yang Ming’s room upstairs.

At this time, Yang Ming was talking to Wang Mei in the Presidential Suite No. 2. However, Yang Ming already felt that there was something wrong with this incident, so he naturally increased his vigilance. Thus, Yang Ming was keenly aware when someone passed through the corridor,

Vaguely hearing someone knocking on the door next door, Yang Ming didn’t get up but looked outside with his special ability. When he found out that it was Batterton, he got up and walked to open the door of Room No. 2.

“Mr. Butterton, I’m here,” Yang Ming said. Butterton was clearly looking for him when he knocked on the door of Room No. 1.

“Ah, Mr. Yang!” Butterton quickly turned around and said with a smile, “Mr. Yang, this is the gathered information. I was afraid that you needed it urgently, so I sent it over. Have a look at it first. If there is anything not detailed enough, I will investigate again.”

“En.” Yang Ming glanced at Batterton with admiration. This guy’s work efficiency is quite fast. He summarized the information in only half an hour. It looks very detailed, too. “You can go first. I’ll call you if there’s anything.”

“Okay, Mr. Yang. Then, I’ll go down first and not disturb you anymore.” Batterton quickly retreated and walked towards the elevator.

Yang Ming sent Batterton away. As he walked back to the room, he looked at the investigation data in his hand.

South City Casino was one of the world’s gaming and entertainment chain companies. They had invested in constructing casinos in many countries around the world. It was unknown what kind of forces supported them at this time. However, in Las Vegas, the boss of the Guillotine Gang, one of the three major local underworld gangs, had close ties with the owner of the South City Casino.

Yang Ming was not surprised that the casino was connected to underworld gangs. What was surprising was that this South City was actually a world-class gaming CHAIN company and even Batterton did not know who was behind this casino.

However, this didn’t matter. This was of no importance now. He had to deal with the South City Casino in Las Vegas, not the entire South City company.

Yang Ming had no intention of becoming enemies but if they really provoked him, Yang Ming would not show courtesy. I don’t care who is behind you.

After coming to a general understanding of the background of the South City Casino, Yang Ming did not see anything special. Next, he could only go to the South City casino to talk face-to-face.

“Wang Mei, do you have the contact information of the person who called you? You call them and say that the person has arrived and is ready to go over,” Yang Ming said.

“Ah, call them right now?” Wang Mei did not expect Yang Ming to go to the casino immediately. Although she also wanted to rescue Zhang Bing and the others as soon as possible, she was afraid that Yang Ming was unprepared.
