Chapter 549 - Chapter 549: Alamo Grand Hotel

[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): I can't decide if dying while looking at that beautiful smile would be worth it.]

[Gunlovergirl (Earth): Better than being electrocuted to death.]

"So, did you want to grab anything from your house before we depart?" Adam asked as he turned to Emma.

"I'm not sure I will ever get used to that," Emma remarked as she looked down at where the sniper's corpse used to be.

"Do you feel bad for her?" Stacey asked.

"No, I'm just trying to get used to the fact that you all can disintegrate anything you want," Emma replied before looking at Adam with a smile and saying, "Yes, I would like to grab a few things"

Adam nodded before making a lead-the-way gesture.

"What about the leader of the kidnappers, who's still in the van?" Aphrodite asked.

"Oh, oh, let me take care of them," Tephe said eagerly before pointing her force staff at the van and pressing one of the sections that Rowena taught her.

Everyone saw a red disintegration bolt hit the van, which then vanished along with the two kidnappers that where still inside it.

Emma's neighbours, who had been observing the group's actions from behind their curtains, stared in shock as they witnessed the van suddenly disappear.

"Do you need help packing?" Lorelie asked kindly as the group walked back towards Emma's residence.

"That would be great, thanks," Emma replied before asking, "Where is your shuttle?"

"Hovering above your house," Adam replied.

"It really is impossible to tell that it's there," Emma remarked as she looked up at what appeared to be an empty sky.

"Is the driveway the best place to land it?" Adam asked.

"That's fine," Emma replied as she led them into the house.

{Spector.}

[[Afirmative, Spector Unit Five landing now.]]

Within the top-class restaurant Prima Fleming, soft music played while people dressed in expensive clothing dined on high-class food and partook in polite conversation.

Sitting alone at one of the tables with a glass of expensive liquor on the table before him was a man in a tailor-made suit who kept looking at his phone.

"How long does it take them to kidnap one woman?" The man mumbled to himself.

After waiting for a few more minutes, the man put his phone away and finished his drink before standing up to leave.

As he passed through the restaurant, several of the other patrons greeted him politely until he finally left the restaurant and after climbing into his expensive sports car, he drove away.

"This is incredible," Emma remarked as she inspected the inside of the shuttle.

After packing everything she wanted to take with her, Adam and the other had helped Emma load her luggage onto the shuttle, after which it took off and headed back towards the city.

It took the shuttle only a few seconds to travel from Emma's residence to the Alamo Grand Hotel, which the shuttle now hovered above.

"Any idea which room she's staying in?" Stacey asked.

"Not as of yet, Spector needs access to their servers so that it can cross-reference the information it got from her phone," Adam replied.

"Are we landing on the roof like back at my club?" Emma asked.

"Not exactly. The roof is too small to land on, so instead we will disembark there," Adam replied as he piloted the shuttle to hover just above the roof.

"How about you handle this yourself, darling?" Rowena suddenly suggested.

"That's fine, but why?" Adam asked curiously.

"Well, all you're looking for is some kind of computer terminal for Spector to hack into, right? It doesn't sound too interesting and this would be a good opportunity for us ladies to get to know each other," Rowena explained before turning to the other women and asking, "Don't you think?"

"Sounds like a good idea to me," Lorelie replied.

"If that's what you all want, then I'll be back soon," Adam replied before heading towards the shuttle's hatch, which he opened before dropping about a meter onto the roof below.

Adam looked around before heading towards the nearby rooftop door and tried the handle, only to find that it was locked.

[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): No surprise there, hotels keep their rooftop doors locked for security reasons.]

[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): When you say security reasons, do you mean like when a steamer flies his stealth shuttle up to the roof in order to break in? Kekeke.]

[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): I'm fairly sure that's not a scenario they considered.]

Adam looked at the door and noticed an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) card reader on the wall beside it, which he held his uniband up to.

[[Access to mainframe established.]]

[[Cross-refrencing hotel guest list with the snipers phone.]]

[[Snipers hotel room determined to be room five twelve..]]

[[Accessing security systems.]]

[[Overriding security feed to hide your presence.]]

[[Unlocking rooftop door.]]

As Spector finished speaking, Adam heard a beep come from the card reader and saw a green light appear on it before he opened the door and passed through it.

"Spector, provide directions to room five twelve," Adam instructed as he began to descend the stairs after he passed through the door.

[[Affirmative. Quickest route to room five twelve plotted and uploaded to your HUD.]]

"Three floors down, huh, and this staircase only goes down one floor," Adam remarked as he looked at the map that had just appeared on his HUD.

[RealOtaku (Earth): I always get the impression I'm watching a video game stream whenever a map appears in the bottom corner.]

[SciFifanboy (Earth): The way his artificial eye displays it for him is still so Scifi.]

Adam proceeded to the bottom of the stairs before passing through the door, where he found himself in the top floor's corridor. There was another door next to the one he had just passed through, which led to another staircase, some large double doors that had the words Penthouse written beside them, and two elevator doors.

[Justiceistruth (Earth): Seriously, why do they always put the staircase to the roof next to the building's main staircase? Why not just connect the two?]

Adam ignored the staircase and decided to head towards the elevators, where he pressed the button to call them and patiently waited.

However, before the elevator arrived, the large double doors opened as a group of three guys and three girls came out talking and laughing loudly.

[Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): Oh shit, it's the K-pop idol group Triple Trouble, the famous actor Sammy Joe, the DJ CatManSays and David Morose.]

[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): That's quite the lineup.]

[StealthAssassin9 (Earth): I love Triple Trouble.]

[Puntanghunter69Ver2 (International Space Station): It doesn't hurt that Jeanie, Millie and Billie are all so hot.]

[Justiceistruth (Earth): They don't compare to the streamer's women, however.]

[Puntanghunter69Ver2 (International Space Station): No Earth women do.]

[Superhearofangirl (Earth): Sammy Joe is so handsome.]

[OfficialKasumi (Aqua Primus): I'm assuming they're all famous people on Earth.]

[LadyErkath (Alastor): Morose as in the Morose family?]

[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): The one and same. He's a rising member of the Morose family because he has made some impressive business moves in recent months.]

Adam glanced over at the group of six before ignoring them since he didn't recognise any of them. The women were attractive by Earth standards, but they didn't compare to his current girlfriends.

"Who's that?" Sammy Joe asked before adding, "Isn't this floor exclusive to the penthouse?"

"It is indeed," David Morose replied with a frown as Triple Trouble and CatManSays listened in curiously.

"Hey friend, you know this floor is exclusive to the penthouse, right?" David asked as he approached Adam.

"Don't mind me, I'm just passing through," Adam replied.

"Passing through? This is the top floor, idiot," CatManSays said with a laugh.

"Unless I'm coming down off the roof," Adam replied.

"The roof? The roof should be locked and you don't appear to be an employee," David replied.

"He does look familiar, though," Millie remarked with a thoughtful expression.

"He's rather handsome," Jeanie said with a chuckle.

"He also appears to have a good body," Billie added as she eyed him up and down.

The three men frowned as they heard the words of the three Triple Trouble members and didn't seem to like the idea of them discussing another man when they were around.

[Justiceistruth (Earth): Damn, even Triple Trouble are complimenting the streamer, I'm so fucking jealous.]

[LadyErkath (Alastor): It's a good job, Rowena isn't around to hear their comments.]

[Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): You think the girls would get jealous?]

[LadyErkath (Alastor): Not sure about the others, but Rowena is always very protective of her lovers. It's one of the reasons I'm surprised she agreed to share Adam.]

"Hey dickhead, didn't you hear what David said? Do you even know who you're talking to and who owns this hotel?" Sammy Joe cursed.

[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Oh, that guy's digging his own grave. Kekeke.]

[Gunlovergirl (Earth): This is gonna be good.]

Adam turned and looked at David before turning to Sammy Joe as he said, "No idea, in fact, I have no idea who any of you are."

"None of us?" Billie asked in surprise since she, Jeanie and Millie were a world-renowned girl group.
