In American TV shows: Get stronger by spending money!

Page 297

“Okay, I’ll have someone prepare it right away.” Elizabeth readily agreed.

This hotel is very important to her, but neither the ownership of the property nor her personal strength makes Elizabeth's usual methods unusable.

Simply put, Elizabeth had neither money nor the power to fight back against the Su family. Once the Su family took back the hotel and forced her to leave, she would be powerless to do anything about it.

The only thing I can do right now is to use every means possible to satisfy the Su family and get them to allow me to continue managing the Cortez Hotel.

Elizabeth's room was decorated in an elegant yet stylish way, completely different from the typical hotel rooms.

Although Countess Elizabeth was indeed very charismatic and charming, and could attract countless people, she did not fit Sue's aesthetic.

If we're talking about a character in the fifth season that could move or interest Sue, it's not one of the main or supporting characters, but one of the two female extras who appeared at the beginning of the first episode.

The two actresses who played minor roles were tourists from Switzerland. They died here after checking into the Hotel Cortez.

One of them, Su was very interested in.

Her looks and figure go without saying, they're definitely top-notch. The main thing is that she also acted in Nikita and Species 4, so she's not exactly a nameless or faceless female character in Su's films.

Elizabeth first instructed people to tidy up the room as soon as possible, and then poured a glass of wine for Mrs. Su.

"Is there anything else you need?"

Su shook her head and waved for her to come closer. Elizabeth was even more straightforward and knelt down directly beside Su's legs.

If the other people in the hotel were to see the usually aloof countess behaving like a maid, they would surely be astonished.

"I will continue to entrust the management of the hotel to you for the time being. As before, the profits are yours. I don't care about this little bit of money, but I will not be responsible for any losses."

Sue looked at Elizabeth: "Is there a problem?"

“No problem, absolutely no problem!” Elizabeth hurriedly replied.

Su smiled and lowered her head to drink.

Although Elizabeth is a vampire who has lived for a long time, her business acumen is almost zero. If she wants to make money, she will most likely just pick a rich guy, marry him, kill him, and inherit his estate.

By the way, don't think Elizabeth is smart. She's a complete idiot when it comes to money, and she's been cheated out of money before.

Sue did not come for Elizabeth or the hotel business. He was not interested in Elizabeth, and he cared even less about the hotel business. In fact, the more money the hotel lost, the happier he would be.

The reason for this visit is partly because it's part of the American Horror Story universe, although the connection isn't very deep;

On the other hand, there is the uniqueness of the Cortez Hotel: if you die here, your soul will be trapped here forever, and you can live here forever like a living person.

Moreover, witches' magic is almost ineffective here, so whether it's Fiona, Mary Raven, or any other witch, if they still have any value, they might as well die here.

Chapter 494 The Rooms at the Cortez Hotel and the Selection of the Supreme Witch

By evening, Su's room was tidied up.

Located on the top floor of the hotel, the room, while not as spacious as Elizabeth's, was still better than the other rooms and was a suite.

Although there wasn't time to do any other arrangements, the bed and other items in the room were all replaced with new, expensive, high-end products.

The wallpaper and carpet in the room were all replaced, completely changing the style!

Incidentally, all of this money came from Elizabeth, which nearly emptied her wallet.

After touring the room with Elizabeth's attentive guidance, Su nodded in satisfaction: "The furnishings are quite nice, but the space is a bit small."

“I’ll find some decorators tomorrow to knock down the wall between the two rooms,” Elizabeth quickly replied.

Su nodded and wrote a check for one million US dollars to Elizabeth: "You handle it. I'm not staying here anytime soon."

Elizabeth's eyes lit up as she took the check. Over the years, she had met many wealthy people, but none of them were as generous as the Su family!

Putting aside the million, just considering the hotel's revenue and losses over the years, there are very few hotels that can be left unattended like this.

"By the way, you know Yile Supermarket, right?" Su suddenly asked.

Elizabeth nodded: "Of course I know. I've been to your chain supermarket brand many times. The products are of good quality and inexpensive, and the business is very good."

"The supermarket manager here is named Brie. I'll have her come over tomorrow to introduce you to her. The supermarket and the hotel can collaborate on some activities. For example, supermarket members can stay at the hotel for free on their birthday, or get discounts with their supermarket membership cards. Conversely, hotel members can also enjoy discounts at the supermarket."

This partnership benefits both the supermarket and the hotel, but the hotel benefits more, given Ichiraku Supermarket's larger size and larger membership base.

The membership card for Alpaca supermarkets is valid at all Alpaca supermarkets in different cities. If Alpaca members from other cities visit Los Angeles, hotels can benefit from this.

Elizabeth's business acumen is such that expecting her to make the hotel profitable is impossible; this suggestion is a way to help her and prevent her from being ripped off for money later.

In any case, Elizabeth is one of our own who works for us!

As night fell, after having dinner with Elizabeth, Sue did not ask her to stay. To be precise, Sue herself did not stay either, but instead teleported back to New Orleans.

In the living room, Zoe was curled up on the sofa watching TV.

Hearing a faint sound, Zoe turned her head and saw Su Shi teleporting back.

"You're back!" Zoe exclaimed happily as she got up to greet her.

"Why aren't you resting yet?" Su asked with a smile, putting her arm around Zoe.

Zoe shook her head: "I can't sleep because you're not back. By the way, Madison isn't back either. Do you know where she went?"

Madison—Su looked up at the chandelier, smiled, and waved gently upwards.

A gust of wind suddenly rose, causing the ceiling to sway slightly. A doll dangled from it and fell to the ground with a thud.

Zoe picked up the doll with a puzzled look: "This, this doll looks just like Madison!"

Su smiled and snapped her fingers.

Bang!

The doll changed instantly; Zoe felt a weight in her hand and panicked, releasing the doll.

"Ah..." Madison screamed as she fell to the ground.

"Madison???" Zoe stared blankly at Madison, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, completely unexpected that she was the doll from before.

Madison returned to normal, and the coffee she was holding naturally returned to normal as well.

She flicked her wrist, spilling coffee all over herself.

Madison didn't care that he had spilled the still-warm coffee all over himself and stained his clothes. After struggling to get up, he hurriedly checked his body.

It's back to normal, it's really back to normal!

Madison breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Sue with some fear: "You, how did you turn me into a doll?"

"I just snapped my fingers..." Su said, raising her hand.

Seeing this, Madison rushed over like a vicious dog pouncing on its prey and forcefully grabbed Su's hand: "No, don't snap your fingers, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong!"

"Have you learned your lesson?" Madam Su asked with a smile.

Madison nodded repeatedly: "I've learned my lesson, I've learned my lesson, I won't do it again next time, I... I'm going upstairs to take a shower and rest, goodnight!"

After saying that, Madison hurriedly ran upstairs.

Sue smiled and shrugged. Turning Madison into a doll was a minor punishment, but it was also a test of his ability to alter reality.

The effect proved to be quite good; even after I traveled from New Orleans to Los Angeles, the effect of altering reality did not seem to wear off immediately.

Su took Zoe upstairs to shower and prepare for rest. During this time, Zoe mentioned Fiona.

Fiona mentioned to her that she might be the next Witch Supreme.

Although Zoe hasn't mastered all three abilities like Madison—telekinesis, fire control, and telepathy—she has still made progress.

She has awakened the abilities of telekinesis and divination. Although she is not yet proficient, she is still much stronger than Misty, who has not mastered any new abilities other than her original resurrection ability.

All three of them are quite talented, but Misty is destined to never become the Supreme Witch due to psychological reasons.

Zoe's weaknesses are fire control and teleportation, while Madison's weakness is divination.

Fiona is right. The reason Su stayed here was indeed to gain control of the Supreme Witch, but he hadn't decided who should become the Supreme Witch.

In theory, both Zoe and Cordelia have a chance, but Cordelia has a better chance, since she is the chosen one, the High Priestess.

Madison, on the other hand, suffers from a congenital heart defect, and one of the characteristics of the Witch of the High Priest is good health. Without curing this disease, she is not qualified to compete for the title of Witch of the High Priest.

Incidentally, the competition for the Witch of the High Priestess is essentially a winner-takes-all system. Even though Cordelia was originally chosen, she died, so the position naturally passed to someone else.

Therefore, if one of the three wants to become the Witch Supreme, the only way, besides being qualified, is to kill the other two.

Of course, giving up the position of the Supreme Witch is another matter entirely.

Currently, Sue prefers Zoe and Cordelia.

Zoe is the closest to him and has leadership potential, so she can help him lead the other witches in the future.

Cordelia is knowledgeable and was originally slated to be the Supreme Witch. In the original story, she even led the witch coven and brought it to its full glory. Her talent is beyond question. The only problem is that she is not one of our own!

If she had to choose between herself and the witches, she would definitely side with the witches.

Chapter 495 Fiona's Gift: Witch? Maid?

Time honors the diligent and shames the lazy.

In the time that followed, Zoe and her two companions proved the statement to be true.

Make the most of your talent through hard work.

In just a few days, Zoe made rapid progress, and in addition to her original skills of telekinesis and divination, she successively mastered mind control, resurrection (also known as resurrection), and astral projection.

Currently, only Fire Control and Teleportation are not yet mastered. Progress on the former is slow, while the latter can be used but is not yet proficient.

Madison was no less skilled; in addition to telekinesis, fire control, and telepathy, he also mastered teleportation, resurrection, and astral projection. He was only missing divination to fully master the Seven Wonders.

Misty is somewhat less skilled; besides her greatest ability to resurrect the dead, she has only mastered fire control, telekinesis, and teleportation.
