The Indomitable War God

Chapter 5

The Nine Dragons Pavilion stood proudly at the center of Cloud City. Golden lights illuminated the massive black-and-gold building while luxury vehicles continuously flowed in and out of the grand entrance.

Numerous luxurious cars worth millions filled the driveway, making the entire place look more like a gathering point for royalty than a hotel.

Nine enormous marble dragon statues coiled around the towering exterior pillars, radiating majesty and wealth.

Amelia and Lisa stood near the entrance as snow drifted lightly around them. Even someone as composed as Amelia could not help but feel slightly restrained by the overwhelming luxury surrounding her.

“This place is even more luxurious than I imagined,” Lisa muttered while looking around excitedly.

Amelia’s gaze swept across the magnificent building. The Nine Dragons Pavilion was the most prestigious hotel in Cloud City—a symbol of status. Ordinary wealthy people were not even qualified to reserve seats here.

At that moment, the roar of an engine suddenly echoed across the driveway, and a red Lamborghini Revuelto shot toward the entrance before stopping smoothly. A tall, handsome young man stepped out, wearing a dark wine-red suit tailored perfectly around his lean figure. An expensive watch glittered on his wrist.

The handsome man was none other than Cameron Vance.

Lisa’s eyes lit up immediately. “Young Master Vance!”

Cameron smiled confidently as he walked over. “Sorry for the wait. I had to attend to some issues.”

"It's fine! We know how busy you are." Lisa's voice dripped with admiration. Her gaze shifted to the Lamborghini behind him. "Is that your new car? It's gorgeous! It must have cost a fortune."

Cameron chuckled causally.

“I just bought it two days ago. It’s not that expensive. Just a couple million.”

Lisa sucked in a sharp breath. How can a car that cost millions not be expensive? Only someone as wealthy as Cameron could say that.

Cameron only smiled faintly like it was insignificant. His gaze landed on Amelia.

“You look beautiful tonight.”

“Thank you,” Amelia replied calmly. Despite her reserved tone, she could feel the powerful aura Cameron carried naturally. Compared to Sebastian’s plain appearance, Cameron was someone from a completely different world.

Cameron was used to her cold nature, so he didn’t mind it. Instead, he gestured elegantly toward the entrance.

“Let’s go in.”

The three of them entered the magnificent lobby together.

The moment they stepped into the lobby, Lisa gasped.

An enormous crystal chandelier overhead sparkled brilliantly while expensive classical music drifted through the air. The polished marble floor reflected the golden lights beautifully, and elegantly dressed elites moved around the lobby with refined smiles.

It looked less like a hotel and more like a palace for royalty.

“This place is insane…” Lisa whispered excitedly,

Amelia quietly observed everything around her. She had attended many high-end places before, but the Nine Dragons Pavilion was clearly on another level. She kept her composure, but even she was astonished.

Cameron noticed the subtle change in her expression, and satisfaction flickered in his eyes.

Soon, they arrived before a golden elevator, and an attendant respectfully bowed toward Cameron.

“Good evening, Young Master Vance.”

Cameron nodded calmly before taking out a silver membership card with silver dragon engravings.

“The third floor.”

Lisa’s eyes immediately widened slightly.

“The third floor?”

Her voice carried unconcealed surprise.

Cameron smiled faintly. “The Nine Dragons Pavilion has nine floors. The higher the floor, the higher the status required to enter.”

He glanced upward meaningfully.

“The first three floors are only accessible to people with silver membership. The fourth to sixth floors are reserved for people with gold membership.”

Lisa looked at him with naked admiration. “Young Master Vance is really incredible.”

Even Amelia was impressed. Her Rose Corporation was successful in Cloud City, yet she still did not possess the qualifications to reserve a suite here. Cameron could casually bring guests to the third floor. The disparity in status couldn't be more obvious.

"What about the seventh and eighth floors?" Lisa asked curiously.

“Only people with diamond membership are allowed access to those floors. Those floors are reserved for the top figures in Cloud City.” Cameron answered in a wistful tone.

Lisa's eyes widened further. "And the ninth floor?"

Cameron laughed softly. “The Black Dragon Floor?” Even his expression turned extremely respectful when mentioning it.

“In the past hundred years, the number of people qualified to enter that floor can supposedly be counted on one hand.”

He lowered his voice. “I’ve heard that only people with the legendary Heavenly Dragon Card can set foot onto that floor. The identities of anyone holding that card are not something that we can ever compare to!”

Lisa looked dazed.

“Thankfully, I managed to secure us a VIP suite on the third floor tonight.” Cameron added casually.

“Young Master Vance, you’re incredible! Do you know how many people would kill just to eat here once?” Lisa gushed.

Cameron waved his hand modestly, but the smugness in his eyes was impossible to hide.

“It’s nothing serious.”

Amelia remained silent, but she was quietly impressed. The ability to reserve a VIP suite here was not something to dismiss. At the very least, Cameron was far better than the cretin her grandfather wanted her to marry.

At the very least, he was much better than the cretin her grandpa wanted her to marry.

Amelia unconsciously gnashed her teeth at the thought of that military cretin, but she quickly calmed down.

She would enjoy herself tonight and push all thoughts of marriage aside.

However, before they entered the elevator, Amelia suddenly noticed something strange.

The entire hotel lobby seemed unusually busy and was bustling with activity.

Staff members moved quickly through the lobby while managers personally supervised preparations everywhere. Several luxurious flower arrangements were being carried inside while security personnel stood far more alert than normal, and even the hotel executives themselves appeared nervous.

Amelia blinked. “What’s going on?”

Cameron glanced around, then lowered his voice mysteriously.

“I heard that the Nine Dragons Pavilion is expecting a very distinguished guest tonight.”

Lisa leaned in.

“A distinguished guest? What kind of guest would make the Nine Dragons Pavilion this serious?”

Cameron lowered his voice slightly. “I heard the guest was personally invited by Isaac Rutherford himself.”

Amelia and Lisa froze in shock.

Isaac Rutherford!

He was one of the most powerful men in Cloud City! A true giant standing at the peak of the city’s elite society!

He could crush the entire Lockwood family with just a single word!

Anyone personally invited by him would naturally possess an unimaginable identity.

What kind of figure could make someone like Isaac Rutherford act so respectfully?

Lisa looked completely fascinated now.

“Could it be some provincial tycoon?”

Cameron shook his head.

“It’s probably someone even more important. After all, the hotel has never made preparations on this scale before.” His tone was heavy with admiration.

Amelia’s curiosity was quietly stirred as well. Who exactly could command such treatment?

At that moment, amidst the bustling crowd in the lobby, Amelia suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure walking calmly toward the entrance.

Her eyes narrowed instantly. After all, the familiar figure walking towards the entrance was none other than her fiancé, Sebastian Helios!
