Chapter 1174: Chapter 401: The Old Aristocrats of the West (Part 2)
Donnie had almost forgotten these people, but when they arrived in Atlantic City, they started causing trouble!
Elder Burns, a British immigrant, had a family background that once included a viscount, and an inheritable one at that.
In the last century, Elder Burns’ father moved his family to the United Kingdom to start his own business in New York. It was necessary, as the Burns Family no longer had any wealth in the UK, even worse off than Earl Bock. But once their family arrived in New York, the viscount title played so role, allowing them to leverage this influence to earn considerable wealth and buy quite a bit of land in the United States at that ti.
He was also one of the 400 elite club mbers.
Currently, he is also one of the most influential people in the 400 elite club.
He ca to Atlantic City today as well.
Getting out of a silver Rolls-Royce, the over 80-year-old Elder Burns was still dressed as British nobility, leaning on a cane embedded with eralds.
Supported by his servant, he entered the Surf Hotel.
“Our master wants to rent the rooms on either side of His Majesty the King’s suite!”
Elder Burns’ butler approached the Surf Hotel’s reception and said pointedly.
“I’m sorry, the floor where His Majesty George V stays is no longer open to the public!”
The receptionist, with a smile on their face, responded politely.
“Our master is Viscount Burns, the most esteed guest. I now order you to imdiately make available the rooms on either side of His Majesty’s suite for us.”
The butler said with a look of displeasure.
The receptionist, still smiling, replied: “I’m sorry, I don’t have that authority!”
“Since you don’t have that authority, go call Donnie Block down here. He will tell you what to do!”
The butler said coldly.
The receptionist shook their head, the smile gone. In hotels partnered with the Astor Family, staff are required to smile regardless of the rudeness of guest behavior, as long as it doesn’t cross physical boundaries.
But in the Surf Hotel, that rule does not exist.
“I don’t have the authority to personally summon Mr. Block, and your current behavior is already disrupting our normal work. If you persist, I have the right to call security and have you removed!”
“Crude, despicable!”
Elder Burns was furious, slamming his cane heavily on the ground, exclaiming: “Is this how you treat your guests in Atlantic City? It’s utterly lacking in courtesy!”
It so happened that Nate Sermont saw this situation.
So Nate Sermont ca over.
“Sir, is there sothing our hotel has done wrong?”
Elder Burns glanced at Nate Sermont, disdainful to speak. His butler lifted his head and asked: “Who are you?”
“I am Nate Sermont, the president of the Surf Hotel!” Nate Sermont introduced himself.
“You do have the right to speak to !” Elder Burns snorted coldly, saying: “I have two demands for you now, and you will fulfill them imdiately.
First, I want to stay next to His Majesty’s suite. Second, bring Donnie Block to , I have sothing to say to him!”
Nate Sermont looked at Elder Burns as if viewing a rare animal. It had been years since such an arrogant person appeared in Atlantic City.
Could it be this person never reads newspapers or listens to the radio?
So Nate Sermont, smiling, said: “Elderly sir, we serve with smiles as a professional standard, but it doesn’t an everyone deserves our respect, so I’m smiling at you now, but it’s not because you deserve my respect. Seeing your age, if you don’t behave appropriately, don’t bla for calling soone to see you out now!”
“You…”
Elder Burns was so angry that the beard on his face started to tremble.
“Truly a bunch of coarse upstarts!”
After a caustic remark, Elder Burns, still proud, said: “I am the esteed Viscount Burns, now that you know my identity, imdiately carry out my demands!”
Nate Sermont, seeing this, couldn’t be bothered to deal with this old guy, and simply waved. As the largest casino hotel in the United States, Surf Hotel also had top-tier security asures.
The situation in the hotel lobby had long drawn the attention of security personnel, and seeing Sermont wave, they stepped forward imdiately.
“What are you going to do?”
Only now did Elder Burns start to feel a bit scared; he realized these Atlantic City people didn’t seem to care about his noble status.
“Wait a mont, wait a mont!”
At this mont, Earl Bock, who had co to have a bit of gambling fun at the Surf Hotel, appeared.
“Mr. Burns!”
Earl Bock knew Burns. Although the Burns Family had long settled in New York, Elder Burns had visited London a few tis in his younger years. At parties back then, Elder Burns and Earl Bock ca to know each other.
“So it’s Earl Bock!” Elder Burns nodded slightly, rembering Earl Bock as a noble whose family had fallen in the UK. He looked down on Earl Bock, thinking he was too scheming and lacked noble deanor.
Earl Bock didn’t mind Elder Burns’ attitude; having aligned with Donnie, the Bock Family was destined to rise in the future. He wanted those he once had to look up to, to see his influence now.
