Chapter 19: Love Hotel

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After calming himself, Aiden pushed open the door and went into his home. His father was working outside while his mother was cleaning the kitchen. She was also surprised to see him return.

“Aiden? Why are you back? Don’t you have class today?”

“Uh, yes,” Aiden replied vaguely, then walked to his room. At this moment, he didn’t know how to face his family, so he could only hide for the time being.

BANG!

His mother looked at the tightly shut door and could not help but mutter softly, “What’s wrong with this child…”

In his room, Aiden lay on the bed tired. He suddenly remembered that he had successfully spent two days and should have accumulated some skill points.

Just as he was thinking this, the word “Priest” appeared in the air in front of him again. Aiden reached out and gently touched it.

[Beep!]

[Entering the System. Welcome, Awakened.]

System?

Aiden was a little puzzled. The last time he opened this interface, this word didn’t seem to have appeared. However, he didn’t think too much about it and focused all his attention on his Skill Points.

However, it would have been better if he hadn’t seen it. After taking a look, he instantly sat up and screamed.

“This is?!”

“Aiden, what’s wrong?”

His mother asked from outside the door. Aiden quickly gathered his thoughts and said loudly, “I’m fine. I just accidentally hit the head of the bed.”

“Is it serious? Do you want me to take a look at it for you?” Her mother sounded worried.

“No need, no need.” Aiden sighed in his heart, but he still refused.

“Oh, okay…”

Aiden breathed a sigh of relief when the sound of footsteps receded, but he quickly became excited again.

“Why do I have 524 Skill Points?”

[The System has detected that you have successfully survived for 24 hours and have participated in killing a Slaughter Beast. Reward: 500 Skill Points.]

Slaughter Beast?

Could it be the man from the storeroom?

Aiden guessed that the man’s terrifying shape after shapeshifting did indeed fit the Slaughter Beast name.

“I didn’t expect to get Skill Points from killing a Direbeast. Doesn’t that mean that I only need to kill one more Direbeast to level up my skill?”

As soon as this thought appeared, Aiden immediately shook his head and rejected it.

Never mind trying to kill a Slaughter Beast. At his current strength level, even normal swallowing beasts could easily deal with him. He had better be realistic.

“I wonder if Sophia’s abilities will also be upgraded…” For some reason, Aiden thought of Sophia. Although they had only known each other for less than two days, the latter had left a deep impression in his heart. He vaguely felt that Sophia’s awakening might not have been any easier than his.

Especially when she mentioned her former companions that were killed by beasts. From her indifferent tone, she seemed long been used to it. Aiden had every reason to believe that Sophia’s experiences were more than a hundred times richer than his.

As he thought about it, drowsiness overwhelmed him. Aiden closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

…

When he woke up again, it was already dusk.

When he walked out of the room, her mother was already calling for dinner. Her father had also returned home and was sitting at the dining table, reading the newspaper with relish.

When she saw him come out, her mother wiped her hands and said angrily, “You slept the entire day. I called you several times, but you didn’t wake up. Did you go somewhere to play last night?”

Aiden found a random excuse to brush it off. Without even eating, he hurried out of the house as his mother called out to him.

He had no idea how to face his “family”.

Perhaps they loved him very much, but hadn’t Lily stuck to him every day before going to the park? Hadn’t such a beautiful girl turned into a man-eating monster in a moment?

Shaking his head, Aiden forced himself not to think about that. He left the house, hailed a cab, and headed straight for the meeting place with Sophia.

When he arrived, Sophia had been waiting for him for a long time. Seeing that he was about to get out of the car, she immediately went forward to stop him and got into the car.

“Driver, please go to the Pink Hotel.”

“The Pink Hotel?”

The driver glanced in the rearview mirror. Aiden could clearly see that his eyes were filled with ambiguity.

“What’s wrong?” Aiden whispered to Sophia beside him. “Is there something wrong with the Pink Hotel?”

“I’m not sure.” Sophia shook her head. That’s the address Professor Martin had written on the note. As for the exact situation, she would know when she got there.

Aiden didn’t ask further. He thought it was just an ordinary hotel.

However, when the car arrived, he was dumbfounded.

“Is this… a sex hotel?”

The small building in front of him was flashing with neon lights. The alleys on both sides of the street were full of beautiful women dressed in seductive clothes. There were even some people sitting in the first-floor lobby of the hotel. Their clothes were revealing, and their figures were hot. They kept winking at him.

Now Aiden understood why the driver’s expression had turned so suggestive at the mention of the Pink Hotel.

“Are you sure?” Aiden swallowed and glanced at Sophia. “The location on the note is here?”

“Of course. There’s only one pink hotel in the entire Clay District.” Sophia rolled her eyes and winked at Aiden with a smile.

“Are you happy to have a room with a beauty like me?”

“Happy my ass!” Aiden cursed in his heart. This girl was not to be trifled with. If he had any crooked thoughts, she would probably finish him off cleanly.

Sophia was the first to step into the hotel, and Aiden hurried after her.

After entering the hotel, Aiden took out his room card and looked around, preparing to go to the front desk to ask where to go upstairs.

“Hello, I…”

Aiden was stunned when he saw the person sitting behind the counter.

‘Eddie? What are you doing here?’

The fatty sitting at the front desk was Eddie. At this moment, he was engrossed in his game and shouting, “Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!”

Hearing the voice, Eddie looked up impatiently. When he saw Aiden, his small eyes were filled with surprise. “Aiden? What are you doing here?”

“Ahem.” Aiden coughed dryly and quickly put away the room card. He said helplessly, “I-I was just strolling around.”

“Shopping? You come to hang out in the red-light district?” Eddie glared at him as if he were an idiot.

“Isn’t it obvious where we are? Go, go, go and play.”

This bastard!

Aiden gritted his teeth, resisting the urge to slap his chubby face. “Who told you I was alone?”

“What?”

Eddie looked up again. At that moment, Sophia came up beside him. With just one look, Eddie Valentine’s eyes widened.

“F*ck! Brother, this… this is awesome!”
