Chapter 249: Check-in (Bonus chapter for Alliance Leader 20220427161247290)

“Why are there so many refugees? Didn’t they say only three Neutral Countries have fallen so far?”

Mandy and the others asked in disbelief.

“Do you understand the panic effect? Also, not all 32 Neutral Countries will be attacked. Six of them are Dark Star Empire’s lackeys, and they are also causing trouble while the Dark Star Empire is invading.”

Mia explained the situation to Su Ming and the others.

“Look over there, what’s going on? Why are so many people protesting? What are they doing?”

Elu looked at the other side of the street, where many protesters were holding up banners, and asked in confusion.

“Those are Black Flame Star’s local residents and some refugees who have fled here, expressing their demands. They hope the Federal Government will send troops to resist the Imperial Army and retake the fallen Neutral Countries.”

Mia glanced and explained.

Rhine asked, somewhat confused.

“Why does Black Flame Star allow so many Neutral Country refugees to enter?”

“On one hand, it’s humanitarian asylum. On the other hand, it’s because a large number of Black Flame Star’s citizens have businesses and intermarriages in the Neutral Countries. Therefore, Black Flame Star has to turn a blind eye. Of course, there are some other factors that I can’t say much about.”

“So that’s how it is.”

“Oh, by the way, there’s something I need to remind you. You’ve seen it now. These people are like ants on a hot pan, seeking help everywhere. Don’t be too kind and get involved randomly. With your small frames, you’re no match!”

Mia warned Su Ming and the others.

“Understood!”

Su Ming and the others nodded in response. They also knew very well that they couldn’t twist an arm stronger than a leg, and many things were beyond their control.

Just as they were discussing, the train announcement sounded.

“Black Valley Station has arrived.”

“Alright, we’ve arrived at the station, everyone follow me off the train.”

Mia got up from her seat and said to Su Ming and the others.

A moment later, Mia led Su Ming and the others out of the station exit, and everyone arrived on the spacious street.

This area was particularly bustling, with crowds of passersby everywhere.

Of course, there were also many refugees sleeping on the street.

At this moment, Su Ming saw some Black Flame Star residents passing by them with expressions of annoyance on their faces.

It seemed they really disliked these refugees, but this was normal, after all, not everyone was related to them. And the arrival of these refugees genuinely affected their lives.

“Follow me.”

Mia led Su Ming and the others, walking forward along the pedestrian street.

Soon after, Mia led everyone to a luxurious five-star hotel, the Dragon Court Interstellar Hotel.

“Teacher, we’re staying here?”

Rhine and the others looked at the luxurious hotel in front of them, all very surprised.

“That’s right, come in with me!”

Mia said as she led Su Ming and the others inside.

“Teacher, I feel like we’re here for a vacation, not for a war.”

Rhine asked, looking at the hotel in front of him as he walked.

“Oh, what war? It’s not that easy to start one. Besides, we’re not the ones actually fighting. We’re just here to move things and watch the show.”

Mia explained exasperatedly.

“Oh.”

Rhine and the others nodded in response, still a bit confused.

Clearly, online and in reality, the situation seemed so tense, as if the Imperial Army was about to arrive any moment.

But they were leisurely vacationing in Black Flame City.

If the situation were truly tense, the goods on the Red Fang wouldn’t need three days to unload; they could be unloaded in one day.

Not long after, Mia led everyone to the hotel lobby.

The entire hotel lobby was magnificently decorated, with soft carpets covering the floor and expensive golden glazed wall tiles hanging on all four walls.

Beautiful female attendants in red uniforms bowed respectfully to Su Ming and the others, as well as the teams that came in afterward, greeting them.

“Welcome!”

“Teacher, when did you become so generous?”

Su Ming asked Mia, looking at her cautiously. This hotel was exceptionally good.

“Oh, this hotel is property of Royal Court Academy, feel free to stay!”

Mia, of course, knew what Su Ming was worried about, and she waved her hand grandly, saying.

“Haha, great!”

Zhang Yi and the others shouted happily.

However, at this moment, Rhine suddenly thought of something and quickly asked Mia.

“Wait, Teacher, we’re staying in such a nice hotel, you’re not going to make ten of us squeeze into one room, are you?”

Mia heard Rhine’s words, coughed awkwardly, then smiled and said.

“Still ten people per room.”

“No way, why is it still ten people per room?”

“Exactly, can’t it be one or two people per room?”

“Right! Since you’re generous enough to invite us to a five-star hotel, can’t you arrange more rooms?”

Rhine and the others complained.

Mia’s expression became serious, and she said very sternly.

“It’s not that Royal Court Academy is stingy. Think about it, how many refugees have poured into Black Flame Star, and how many Federal personnel have rushed here? All hotels are fully booked, it’s impossible to reserve rooms. And now, the prices of all hotels are ridiculously high. If you don’t believe me, go out and ask anyone, or if you want to be a sucker, you can book your own room and sleep.”

“Uh, well, then forget it. Ten people squeezing in can still sleep. It’s better than the spaceship dorms.”

Rhine and the others replied awkwardly.

“Alright, I’m not going to argue with you anymore. Go to the service desk and get your room cards. For these three days, you can stay in the hotel if you want, or you can go out and wander around, eat, drink, play, and shop as you please.”

Mia said to everyone.

“Okay.”

Rhine replied happily.

“Oh, and there’s one more thing I need to tell you. Be very careful when you go out. If you encounter any trouble on Black Flame Star, you must immediately state your identity and tell the other party that you are students of Royal Court Academy. No one would dare to touch you. Anyone who dares to touch you is seeking death. Of course, the premise is that you haven’t done anything wrong.”

Mia said very dominantly.

At this moment, Zhang Yi asked mischievously.

“Teacher, what if it’s our fault?”

“Then also mention Royal Court Academy’s name, but you’ll be miserable afterward, you know.”

Mia rolled her eyes at Zhang Yi and the others, saying.

Su Ming heard this and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. He had truly chosen the right school back then; their style of conduct was protective and domineering enough.

“Then we have a good idea.”

Rhine and the others replied with a grin.

“Alright, I’m not going to talk to you anymore. I also need to get some good rest.”

Mia stretched, then turned and walked towards the service desk.

Su Ming and the others also followed, walking towards the service desk.

A moment later, Su Ming and Rhine and the others took the elevator to the thirty-sixth floor. They used their room cards to open room 3605.

Rhine and the others excitedly rushed into the room. Some directly jumped onto the clean white beds, while others lay down on the sofa, all shouting excitedly.

“This big bed is so comfortable!”
