"Not only do you need candles, but the other guests staying in the hotel also need candles."

The matter had been explained to this point, so the server in front no longer held back and continued speaking.

She was worried that if she didn't say everything, Zhou Yingting would drag her to operate the elevator that night.

Even if it was eerie, she wanted to stay alive.

Everyone was slightly stunned upon hearing this, then immediately came to their senses.

They had thought it was strange—there weren't that many of them, and even if they needed candles, surely the quantity wouldn't be insufficient.

If it was because other supernatural entities also needed candles, then it made sense.

In this case, there was no need to fight Zhou Yingting for the candles, which was a good thing.

"I understand. Once the candles are delivered, save some for us. After that, you don't need to deliver the candles yourself, how about that?"

Considering the previous danger of using the stairs, Zhou Yingting thought for a moment and said to the server in front of him.

The server was taken aback by his words, then hesitated, "But our hotel doesn't offer candle delivery service—you need to come down and get them yourselves."

"Your hotel doesn't have an elevator operator service either, does it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yingting replied bluntly.

The server was suddenly shocked; she knew this was Zhou Yingting threatening her.

If she didn't reserve some candles for him, Zhou Yingting would make her deliver them at night.

The elevator matter, Zhou Yingting had agreed she didn't need to do it.

But delivering candles was also dangerous; the path through the fire escape wasn't easy.

Thinking about this, she quickly nodded, indicating she would save some candles for Zhou Yingting.

Watching her leave, everyone present let out a sigh of relief.

"This hotel is really dangerous. Only you, with your ability to threaten her like that, can make her help us. Otherwise, we'd really be doomed today."

Everyone watched the front desk staff return to their work and collectively exhaled in relief.

Through her, they genuinely felt the dangers of the night ahead.

The absence of candles was the first danger, and taking candles through the fire escape was the second.

Fortunately, with Zhou Yingting present, both dangers could be avoided.

"I need to resolve something at the casino. You stay here first."

After resolving the candle issue, Zhou Yingting showed no intention of lingering, addressing everyone before heading towards the casino.

He wanted to see if he could get some Blood Gold from the casino.

As long as he could get Blood Gold, he could repay his debts later.

If not, Zhou Yingting wouldn't know where to get such a large amount of Blood Gold to repay when the time came.

"Are you sure you'll be okay going by yourself?"

Qiao Peimu hurriedly asked upon seeing Zhou Yingting heading to the casino.

He didn't know what Zhou Yingting intended to do, but considering Zhou Yingting hadn't gambled in previous visits, he thought this time wouldn't be for gambling either.

Therefore, he didn't press the issue, but he was worried about Zhou Yingting being in danger alone.

Zhou Yingting didn't want them to know about his entry, so he waved his hand, "Relax, with the administrator's entry on me, nothing will happen."

After saying that, Zhou Yingting walked straight towards the casino.

Hearing this, Qiao Peimu thought it over and found it reasonable.

With the administrator's entry that Zhou Yingting had, it was indeed unlikely anything would happen.

"Do you think he's going to the casino to gamble?"

Seeing Zhou Yingting heading to the casino alone, Shangguan Nana's eyes flickered, and she asked softly.

The people nearby glanced at Shangguan Nana with some surprise, "Why would he gamble? Previously, he was the most resolute in not wanting to gamble."

"Exactly, if anyone were to gamble, I think he's the least likely to."

Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads, thinking Zhou Yingting was unlikely to do so.

Listening to this, Shangguan Nana thought it over and nodded as well, "I think so too; that's why I'm wondering if he's gone to extort those guys at the casino."

"And then... collect protection fees, which is why he doesn't want us to follow?"

Everyone, including Zhang Yi, was stunned by Shangguan Nana's words, then they all turned to look at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.

"What do you mean by that? Him extorting people at the casino—is that even possible?"

Everyone was dumbfounded by her imaginative thought.

Extorting the supernatural—is this something humans do?

Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Shangguan Nana was unconcerned, "Earlier, he even threatened the front desk. He's no stranger to threatening the supernatural."

"It's perfectly normal for him to extort those at the casino now, isn't it?"

"Besides, with his current entry, I'd guess those supernatural entities would have no way to deal with Zhou Yingting even if he extorted them a little, right?"

Listening to this, Zhang Yi thought over the events that had just occurred, recalled the scene at the casino, and felt that, while Shangguan Nana's words seemed off, they did hold some possibility.

"Shall we follow and take a look?"

Thinking of this, Shangguan Nana's spirits rose, and she hastily asked everyone present.

If Zhou Yingting really went to extort these supernatural entities, missing out on witnessing it would mean missing a good show, wouldn't it?
