Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Chapter 690: Haven't Finished Talking Yet!

The receptionist's voice, filled with disbelief and shock, echoed. It was also laced with fear, as if she had seen something deadly! She slumped to the ground, unable to stand, frightened to the point of her entire body going weak.

Everyone in the lobby was extremely curious. What in the world was going on? What was that card the kid had thrown? How could it scare the receptionist so badly? Her reaction was far too extreme! She looked as if a common soldier had come face to face with the Emperor, so terrified she almost wet herself on the spot! What was happening!?

"What happened!?" Shen Qian was also dumbfounded, unable to comprehend the situation. How could a penniless loser throw out a card and terrify the receptionist like this!? Impossible!

Logically speaking, receptionists at a five-star hotel like the Hilton Hotel should be very experienced; even seeing a Diamond Member Card would only excite them a bit. But now, she was so terrified that she had slumped to the ground, crying out, unable to even stand!

That card! What on earth was it!?

This question echoed in everyone else's mind as well. That card! What on earth was it!?

"What did you just give him!?" Shen Qian's blonde assistant asked, looking at Qin Heng. Her expression was incredulous. In her mind, Qin Heng was just a poor student. How could he possess such influence, to frighten a five-star hotel's receptionist with a single card!? Incredible! Truly too incredible!!

Earlier in the lobby, those who had been discussing Qin Heng and Lu Ziyi were also extremely shocked, their eyes wide as they stared at him. What was going on with this penniless loser!?

"Holy crap! What happened!?"

"I remember that front desk chick being super haughty. She wouldn't even agree when I offered five thousand yuan for a night with her!"

"Forget five thousand, I freaking offered eight thousand and she still refused!"

"But now, how could one card that kid threw over scare her half to death, making her collapse on the ground??"

"What was that card!?"

"That's too awesome! What kind of card was it?"

These people were abuzz with conversation. Their gazes toward Qin Heng now held a mixture of astonishment and wariness, as people always harbor a certain degree of fear toward the unknown.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

Just then, a series of urgent noises suddenly came from behind the hotel counter—it sounded like knees hitting the ground. As if someone was crawling on their knees!! Impossible!! What was this!? What was this!?? Could it be!? Could it be that the receptionist was on her knees, crawling out!? No way!

Everyone present was shocked. Whether it was Shen Qian and his blonde assistant or the others—everyone except Qin Heng and Lu Ziyi—all eyes turned to the corner of the counter. Could it really be!? After all, there was only that one receptionist behind the counter; no one else! But this was too exaggerated! Crawling out on her knees—how terrified must she have been!? That card! Was it that terrifying?

THUD! THUD! THUD!

The sound grew closer. Soon, everyone saw the receptionist crawling out, her face filled with horror. Her previous arrogance and aloofness were gone without a trace. Like a bitch, she crawled obediently to Qin Heng's feet. Kneeling, she held the card in both trembling hands and offered it to Qin Heng. Taking a deep breath, she said in a quavering voice, "Qin... Mr. Qin, I-I'm sorry! It's my fault! I was blind and failed to recognize Mount Tai! I-I-I didn't recognize you! I'm sorry, truly sorry! This is your card. I beg you, please, be the bigger person and overlook my offense! Let me go, please let me go!!"

She knelt, begging for mercy, tears streaming down her face, her attitude utterly servile. This was a completely different person from the receptionist who had looked down on Qin Heng earlier. If not for Lu Ziyi's presence beside Qin Heng, she might have even offered herself up for him to deal with as he pleased.

That card! Its implications were too terrifying! He was simply not someone she could afford to offend!

"What's all this about? Let me see what card it is!" Shen Qian strode over and snatched the glossy black card from the receptionist's hand. "I refuse to believe that loser has any earth-shattering identity!!"

"Mr. Shen, let me have a look too. What kind of card has this kid produced?" the blonde assistant chimed in, chuckling as she peered at the card in Shen Qian's hand.

It was a card about the size of a standard bank card, made of a similar material. It was entirely glossy black, with intricate and exquisite patterns etched across its surface. When tilted slightly, the English name of the Hilton Hotel became visible. In the bottom right corner, a line of small, gleaming, eye-catching golden letters was engraved.

"Qin Heng?"

"'Qin Heng?' Shen Qian and the blonde assistant exchanged puzzled glances. 'Is that a person's name?'" They looked at Qin Heng, frowning. "That's your name, right? What's so special about this card? Tell us."

The people around were also confused.

"Qin Heng?"

"Who is that? I've never heard of him."

"Seems a bit familiar... where have I heard it before? I can't remember."

"Just a name, and it scared her like that?"

"What in the world is this card?"

Everyone's eyes were glued to the card, and the murmurs continued unabated.

"You have a lot of nerve!!" The receptionist looked incredulously at Shen Qian and the blonde assistant, shouting, "Give the card back to Mr. Qin right now! How dare you disrespect Mr. Qin!?"

"Mr. Qin?" Shen Qian was taken aback, then burst out laughing. Pointing at Qin Heng, he said to the receptionist, "Hahaha, are you trying to make me die laughing? Look at his impoverished face—Mr. Qin? Stop pretending!"

"Exactly! Everything he's wearing is from a department store, and he dares to call himself a boss? Haha!" The blonde assistant also laughed, lifting her chin slightly and looking down at the receptionist. "You aren't acting along with this penniless loser, are you?"

"Acting?" The receptionist froze for a moment, looking at Shen Qian and the blonde assistant with a stunned expression. Then, she suddenly burst out laughing. "Hahaha! You truly have no idea who you've offended!!"

"Oh? Then why don't you tell us who this loser is?" Shen Qian asked arrogantly, sneering. "I'd like to see what kind of tricks you can play."

"You're courting death!!" The receptionist looked at Shen Qian and declared, "Our Mr. Qin here is the global director of the Hilton Hotel! The entire Hilton Group belongs to him! That card is his proof of identity! Quickly, return the card to Mr. Qin!!"

"Holy shit! Impossible!?"

"No way! The entire Hilton belongs to this kid?"

"Oh my god! We're done for!!"

"I actually mocked such a prominent figure!!"

Those who had previously gossiped about Qin Heng and Lu Ziyi were now terrified, their faces pale, filled with bitter regret.

Qin Heng remained composed, his eyes half-closed, seemingly unconcerned with everything around him. Lu Ziyi also watched on, merely an observer.

"Hahaha!!" Shen Qian suddenly burst into laughter. He held up the card and said, "And here I was wondering what it was! So, it's just a director of a Hilton Hotel company. That's hilarious! You think this title can intimidate me? What a joke!!"

CRACK!!

He snapped the card in two and threw the pieces at Qin Heng's feet, sneering, "Kid, the chairman of the Hilton Group is worthless! It's just a hotel business! Changping is my turf. My company deals in financial investments. With just one word, I can shut down your Hilton operations in Changping City! No matter who you are, when you're here, you play by my rules! Kneel!!"

Shen Qian's company was valued at three billion yuan. While not exceptionally high, it specialized in financial investments, possessing a wide network and significant influence in Changping City. Although the Hilton Hotel had a global presence, it only had one or two branches in Changping City, wielding virtually no local influence. For Hilton employees, the chairman's title was paramount, but in Shen Qian's eyes, it meant nothing. No threat at all!

"Heh!" Just then, the receptionist sneered. "Mr. Shen, you're too hasty. I wasn't finished speaking! Our Mr. Qin... he's not *just* the chairman of the Hilton Hotel Group!"
