A Top Assassin Reincarnates as a Noble - Chapter 23

Chapter 23 Inn Renovation Plan

“Lola, you came at the perfect time. Young Master Will said that there’s a way to improve our inn’s business. Come over and we’ll discuss it together.”

Uncle Herbert immediately called Aunt Lola over.

“This is great, Young Master Will. I’m getting sick from staying in this empty inn every day. Quickly share with us. Come, let’s talk while eating.”

Aunt Lola carried the pizza into the room and put it down. She and Uncle Herbert looked at me with bright eyes. “Uncle Herbert, Aunt Lola, since Riston Inn serves the nobles, my idea is that everything we do has to be on par with the homes of the nobles. For example…”

I spoke of my ideas based on the experience of later life.

As for the renovation of the inn, we could get designers who renovate courtyards for nobles to personally plan it.

And in terms admittance of guests, the entry requirement was set at five gold coins.

Here, the first and second floors of the hotel would be designed differently. Those with five gold coins could enter dine on the first floor, while those of noble status and five gold coins could dine on the second floor.

In terms of service, they had to use maidservants with good looks. At the very least, they had to be literate. They could note down the information heard from the nobles in the time they are in the kitchen.

At the same time, in order to prevent the waiter from being insulted by the customers, the security staff in the hotel also needed elite martial artists or mages.

“Young Master Will, I can understand everything else. I just want to ask why the threshold for entry to the inn is not noble status, but five gold coins.”

“Brilliant! Young Master Will has a genius-like business brain.”

Uncle Herbert slapped the table and stood up in admiration. Then he looked at Aunt Lola. “Lola, think about it. What kind of place is Heikem?”

“What…”

“Lola, Heikem is the largest city in the north of the kingdom. Further north is the territory of the demons. In other words, there are also has many adventurers in Heikem. Some of them are willing to do anything for money. The information worth digging from them is no less than that of ordinary nobles.”

Uncle Herbert explained crisply.

“Not only that, Aunt Lola. The nobles are called nobles because their status is naturally superior to others. Some aristocrats prefer to prove their nobility. The nouveau riche sitting on the first floor are the best candidates to set off their status. At this time, the conversations they have might be the best information.”

I added.

No matter when, no matter which world, people’s curiosity and competitiveness would never be lacking.

In order to compete, some people would even do some unimaginable things.

And nobles who loved to compare, they were the ones we were most likely to obtain information from because of a slip of the tongue.

“So there’s such a significance as well…”

Uncle Herbert was even more surprised.

“Young Master Will, I understand what you mean. However, if we still have to host adventurers, it’s inevitable that the guests in the inn will be a mix of good and bad people. Protecting the maidservants is easy, we can use our own men as guards.

“However, if there is a conflict between nobles and adventurers, given the Reinhardt’s external identity, we will not be able to make the nobles wary. How do you plan to resolve this problem? This is what I’m most worried about.”

Aunt Lola frowned and voiced her concern.

“Aunt Lola, you don’t have to worry. I’ve already considered this problem. If Riston Hotel becomes popular because of this, I’ll ask my grandfather to put the hotel under the name of the Laurence Family.”

I said confidently.

Before coming to Heikem, my father had told me that I could go straight to the Laurence family to visit Grandpa.

But I refused.

I came to Heikem for my studies. If I visited my maternal family as soon as I arrived, I would inevitably be suspected of living under someone else’s roof.

If possible, I would prefer to visit the Laurence house in a few days’ time with some gifts, using my identity as the heir of the Reinhardt Family.

“Laurence Family! If that’s the case, given Marquis Dalip Laurence’s identity as the Dean of Olgus Academy, it would be enough to intimidate all the nobles in Heikem. Moreover, with our men personally serving the guards, we won’t be suspected at all.”

Aunt Lola nodded and said excitedly.

“Uncle Herbert, Aunt Lola, actually, I have one last question. Do we have enough maidservants to do the job?”

I looked at the two of them who were immersed in surprise.

Good looks.

Literate.

And staunchly loyal. We needed more than ten maidservants like this.

This was the most difficult problem to solve in my opinion, but they didn’t ask about it at all.

Father’s Damocles squad probably would not be able to form such a maidservant team. Even if they were trained, they would carry out more important missions with good looks and work as waitresses.

Uncle Herbert and Aunt Lola looked up in surprise and then at each other. Then they looked at me.

“Lola, you should tell Master Will.”

“Alright, it seems that Master share too much about the darkness of this world with Young Master Will. Young Master Will, have you heard of slaves?”

“Slaves?”

I froze.

Neither the introduction the goddess had given me nor my parents had ever mentioned slavery to me.

Even at home, I had not read any books about slaves.

Perhaps there were too many books in the study at home, so I didn’t see such an introduction.

“Yes, slaves.”

“Slaves will never betray?”

“That’s right, that’s it. Because of the setting of the slave mark, anyone who disobeys their master will die immediately. This was originally something that the Demon King used to control demonic creatures. Let me tell you its history…”

After listening to Aunt Lola’s introduction, I realized that there were really slaves in this world.

The thing that controlled slaves was called the slave brand. It was something that a human had researched from a dead Demon King

Although he had died long ago, the slave brand had been passed down from generation to generation. Moreover, it was extremely popular in the black market and became the treasure of many slave traders to rake in money.

Compared to the Devil’s Contract given to me by the goddess, the slave brand was clearly more direct and domineering.

“Young Master Will, leave the renovation of the inn to Lola. I’ll gather the guards of the inn and leave the selection of maidservants from the black market to you.”

Uncle Herbert quickly assigned tasks to the three of us.

“Huh, am I going to the black market to pick maidservants?”

I looked at the two of them in shock.

The two of them nodded in unison.

“Young Master Will, as the future Sword of Damocles, you must try your best to understand all the darkness in this world. Your experience in the black market will definitely broaden your horizons.”

Uncle Herbert spoke righteously as he walked out of the room with Aunt Lola.

“By the way, Young Master Will, there’s a shower and washroom in the room. You can wash up and rest after eating. Good night, Young Master Will.”

“Good night.”

I waved goodbye to the two of them and closed the door. After eating the pizza and washing up, I lay on the bed.

Going to the black market of this world…

It’s my first time. Honestly, I was looking forward to it.’
