Chapter 1489 Money Makes The World Go Round

"Captain, do you think this is a good idea?" Yinn asked.

"Hmm? Good idea for? To visit that Mecha Smith?" Jin paid in points for the dinner as the War Maidens felt really full and satisfied with the meal.

"Have a good night, Commander Jin. Do you need a place to stay I can recommend you an Inn. It seems like you guys have yet to find a place considering all the equipment you are lugging around and that amount of money. Although I can see the confidence in you and your War Maidens." Lant said as he had more than enough tips from Jin today.

"This is what I meant. Throwing your gold bars to random people." Yinn spoke through the tactical system and Jin chuckled both at Lant and Yinn.

"You sure have lots of connections, Lant." Jin agreed to it.

"Alright, I can make a few calls but I would need to know your rank designation to get a room for you," Lant said as Jin pulled out the promotion letter from the Archduke.

"Erm… Promotion letter? Okay… I cannot guarantee whether they would accept that." Lant said and Jin told him that they could run the database for authenticity if needed.

"That's true too." Lant nodded his head as he calmly told his friend that a captain needed a place to stay. Still, Lant was awfully surprised that a captain would be in these parts since there was not much here and most jobs were warranted for first lieutenant and below.

"Apologies for the surprise, we do not get many captain ranked commanders around," Lant said to Jin and he nonchalantly acknowledged the apology. "Considering the last minute booking, they are able to spare you a room for free because of your rank but it might be a bit ehhh.. Low standard for a captain?"

"We will take that for now," Jin said and Yinn asked whether if he was going to once again waste money getting an upgrade for the room.

"No?" I do not see the point of doing it as long as I have enough space for myself to rest.

"I will hold your word to that," Yinn said as they thanked Lant and were given the coordinates to the specific Inn.

Inn Paradiso

When they reached the Inn which was thankfully only a few blocks away from the restaurant, Jin realised that it was actually like a hotel despite it being called as an Inn. A bellboy was there the Grey Bear Squad placed their equipment with the bellboy with the exception of the duffel bags which the bellboy nearly vomited when he saw the gold bars.

He saw suitcases worth of bars but this was the first he saw duffel bags worth of gold bars. "So are all captains like him?" The bellboy thought to himself as he opened the door, and escorted them to the main reception area.

"Captain Jin, is it? We had been expecting you. Apologies for the poor reception, we are a little understaffed at the moment. Your equipment would be sent to your room and do not need to be placed in the armoury." The woman who look like she was in her sixties said as she was typing furiously on her keyboard.

"I thought we need to deposit our stuff?" Jin said in the assumption that their equipment needed to be placed in the armoury since they were still staying in an Inn.

"Ah, you are newly promoted so I guess, old habits die hard. The room I provided you have an equipment storage area so you do not have to worry about that now that you are a captain. The equipment storage security is as secured as the armoury next door and had been connected directly to the police. Any breach in the storage by unidentified personnel would be reported to the police instantly."

"Oh, I see. My bad, I thought when Lant said the room I am getting might have some compromises, I am assuming I will be bedding like a Lieutenant." Jin explained but the lead receptionist shook her head.

"Even if we wish to do that, there are certain privileges that cannot be exempted once you reach a certain rank. We are the ones who should apologise for not providing you with the best experience in Inn Paradiso. We will see if we could get ready a better room for you if you stay for more than a night."

"It's fine. As long as my War Maidens are fully charged and I am well rested. All's good." Jin said as he thanked Stella as written on her name tag.

"Thank you for your understanding, Here are the one time use keycards to have access to the armoury and room. Once you unlock them, they could be accessed with your identification tag through your personal System." As Jin received the keycard, he slipped a gold bar once more to Stella and she blushed lightly.

"You did it again, Captain Jin." Yinn side eyed the entire scene and yet Jin was unfazed by her scorn. Meanwhile, Stella bowed profusely to Jin and quickly called the bellboy to come to assist them to their rooms.

"Why not? It's for a better service. Don't you know money makes the world goes round?" Jin said as the bellboy hurried and escorted them once more to the elevator and subsequently their rooms.

He even assisted them with the know hows when they unlocked the room and gave them a tour of their suite while showing them how to use the armoury as well as the complimentary items that was provided for them.

All the War Maidens know that bellboys do not perform such a service for nothing unless they are that enthusiastic in their jobs but considering how he had saw the amount of money that they were carrying, there could only be one purpose.

"Mind reserving me the seat for breakfast for my War Maidens and me tomorrow morning?" Jin said as he thanked the bellboy for the tour and presented him with that shiny plate of metal.

"Yes, sure! Gladly! Would you prefer coffee or tea?" The Bellboy's eyes sparkled.

"Tea will be great. Thanks."

"No, no. Thank you! If you need any assistance with your equipment, do not hesitate to call the service hotline!" The bellboy said as he bowed once more and left them be.

"Captain." All of the War Maidens knew that was going to happen but could do nothing to stop Jin except grumble.
