Chapter 98 Weird

“Does anyone else know about this?”

After calming herself, Britney tightly clenched her fists.

Her manager frowned while confidently replying, “The people from the black market always have their way in settling their scores. On top of that, they have killed the man and burned down his entire house, so they won’t dare to say anything aloud. Only Benjamin knows about this and it is all their fault. They have already promised to fix this by finding him, but we are worried that we might not be quick enough.”

“It’s alright.” Britney’s face darkened. “If the detective is safe, he might have already reported this to the police. However, since there is no news until now, something might have happened to him too. Remind them to look for nearby hospitals or homes.” The fire was huge, causing the nearby houses to be burned down as well. Apart from that, he was drugged and unconscious, so how could he have possibly made it out alive?

With that logic, she slowly convinced herself and loosened her fists. Her palm was reddened due to her fingernails, which were dug in it.

The next morning, Courtney started her journey to the first youth hostel plan that she was about to research on—it was at Oreus, which was around 200 kilometers away from Melrose City.

The first Airbnb that she researched was called ‘Hostel D’Amour’ as it was the first one in the recommended list online.

“The paperwork for your check-in is ready. Your room is the first one to your right on the second floor.”

After they registered all her information, the receptionist handed Courtney’s identity card back to her. “I’ll show you the way.”

“Thanks.”

The receptionist was a young girl who looked like she was younger than 20 years of age. Wearing a green T-shirt and a pair of shorts, her demeanor gave people the feeling of their youth once again.

“Are you the only one taking care of this hostel? Can you manage it?”

“I’m not the only one. Our boss went out some time ago, but he hasn’t been back for two months.”

Upon hearing that, Courtney frowned in slight disappointment.

The first thing to do in her market research was to look at the decoration of the entire place and she noticed it as soon as she arrived—it was better than what she had imagined. Hence, she was even more determined with her original plan to ask the boss of the hostel to work for Sunhill Hotel so that he would be involved in the plan to build a series of youth hostels. This is better than me accumulating experience over time.
