"I have long heard that this is a place where rats often like to stay. I came here today to take a look and found that it is indeed the case. I can smell the stench emanating from your place from a long distance away."
From the end of the queue of gangsters who suddenly broke in, a man in a black suit slowly appeared. His mercilessly provocative words immediately aroused the anger of many guests in the Haisha Bar.
"Hey, what? Looking at your expressions, do you think I made a mistake?" The man in black raised his eyebrows and looked at the nearest scavengers and drinkers with contempt.
Alcohol is easy to get people drunk, and the man obviously didn't treat them as human beings. Two or three of the scavengers immediately turned red-eyed, picked up their wine glasses, and tried to throw them at the man.
At this time, the sarcasm in the man's eyes became even stronger, with a bit of disdain. He didn't care at all about the other party's attack. Rather, this was what he wanted.
As long as the bottle is smashed, it will be Haisha Bar who uses force first, then...
The dozen gangsters he brought over were not vegetarians.
It can be seen that several of the Kaleva gang members have pointed their dark gun barrel holes at the scavenger who picked up the bottle, waiting for him to fall into the trap.
He was about to smash the wine bottle.
At this time, a figure of a strong man flashed past quickly and grabbed the scavenger's wrist before his bottle fell.
"Leave this to me." A low soothing voice sounded immediately.
The strong man who stopped the scavengers was none other than Brian, the owner of the Haisha Bar that Liao Ji and the others were standing before.
He changed his previous lustful look towards Yi Lin, and his slightly tipsy expression completely disappeared.
Brian's prestige was obviously very high. The impulsive scavenger immediately calmed down and put away the bottle. At the same time, he himself was frightened. If he really smashed the bottle...
Then he will most likely have to go out sideways today.
"Everyone who has nothing to do with it, please leave first. Haisha Bar... has closed early." Brian's loud voice echoed in the bar. Most of the drinkers breathed a sigh of relief and began to leave this place of right and wrong quickly.
Normally, it would be fine if they were other people who come to cause trouble, and they can still be mean, but this time it is Kaleva, the biggest gangster who dominates the black cave gathering place. Even if they are scolded as rats, they can only Suffer your anger, after all, your life is more important than fighting for words.
As for the gangsters in Kaleva, the man in black, who was obviously the leader before, just snorted coldly, with a look of pity in his eyes, but did not stop them.
The number of people in the bar was quickly decreasing, and Liao Ji glanced at the girl next to him.
Erin remained motionless, staring nervously at the confrontation between the gangster and Brian at the gate. Seeing the girl's concentration, Liao Ji suspected that she might have subconsciously filtered out the option of leaving.
After all, judging from the way Yilin excitedly introduced this bar to herself, the girl probably regarded this place as her second home.
All right.
Liao Ji didn't say much about this and turned his attention back to the scene.
"This is Viper's territory. Although I am not from Kaleva, the leaders are not allowed to cause trouble on each other's territory... This should be the minimum rule, right?"
Brian's face was gloomy and he tried to negotiate with the man with words, but what he got was the man's mocking smile.
"Yes, that's right, but there is one exception, that is... Viper is dead."
"Your name is Brian, and you are the leader of the rats here, right? In order to save both of us time, I will tell you directly that the idiot who used to protect you is gone because of his own stupidity, and I Now I have become the new owner of this area, so...you understand what I mean, right?"
The man stretched out a hand and gestured towards Brian. In the black cave gathering place, except for a few businesses with outside forces behind them, local shops almost had to pay protection fees to the gangs, and there were several cards in them. Lewa was the most outrageous.
"Haisha Bar has handed over this month." Brian said solemnly.
But the man shook his head: "You handed it over to Viper, not me."
After a few seconds of silence, Brian winked at a few of his previous men, and one of them immediately walked towards the depths of the bar, and in less than half a minute, he came out carrying a box.
"Take it and leave." After Brian took it, he threw the box to the man on the opposite side.
Erin was slightly relieved at this scene. She felt that Brian's forbearance was correct. Although he had to pay an extra month of protection fees, at least there were no casualties in the armed conflict.
But Liao Ji, who was beside the girl, shook his head in his heart. He felt that the matter was not over yet. The leader in black came with such a big fanfare, and he should want more than that.
The man just glanced at the cash box and raised three fingers at Brian.
"What's the meaning?"
"Your money is not enough. I don't know what standard Viper set for you before, but here, if it's just such a small box, then you have to give me at least three more like this."
As soon as the man in black said these words, the first people who couldn't help themselves were the men behind Brian.
According to the man's intention, he wants them to pay four times the protection fee. What is the concept? There are almost 5,000 ash coins in a box. If they accept it, they will have to hand over a full 20,000 ash coins to the other party every month!
Their Haisha Bar's monthly income, let alone 20,000 yuan, may not exceed 10,000 yuan most of the time, and the income is not pure profit. This is no longer a money grab, this is a naked attempt to kill them!
The members of the Haisha Bar immediately became furious. While cursing angrily, some radically even took out the trouble.
The smell of gunpowder in the bar hall instantly soared, and the situation was about to get out of control...
"Put down your guns!" It was still a roar from Brian that suppressed the situation.
Seeing that several of his men were still angry and did not put down their guns, Brian emphasized his tone again and said to them word for word: "Put down the guns."
"But, boss..."
"Are my words useless? Put it down!"
Finally, with unwilling expressions, everyone in the Haisha Bar lowered their guns, and Brian said in an extremely calm voice:
"Wood, bring three more boxes."
Bang bang bang...
The man in black who had been watching the whole process applauded at this time, and even he had to admire Brian's patience. Of course, the applause at this time was so ironic to the ears of the people at the Haisha Bar.
Erin clenched her fists so hard that her nails penetrated into her flesh.
The girl's inner thoughts are actually the same as those of most people in the bar. She wants to fight this gangster who bullies others too much.
But maybe it was because of spending the past half day with Liao Ji that Erin's rationality soon told her that Brian's approach was actually the most correct.
The other party is obviously well prepared. No one knows if there is an ambush outside the bar. If there is a fight, the unprepared Haisha Bar will definitely be the loser. At that time, it will not matter how much protection money is collected. Instead, the other party can directly occupy this place in a grand manner.
Of course, there is now another way to win.
That's...her.
Own.
Now she has become a doomsdayer. Her previous experience of dealing with kobolds in the ruins cave has given Erin a full understanding of her now transformed and powerful combat power.
If she also participated in the war, Erin felt that they would definitely win, but...then what? The opponent was no longer the clumsy kobold with only brute strength, and she couldn't survive the hail of bullets and still save the others. Even if they won, it would definitely result in heavy casualties, and Yilin knew very well that she, Haisha These brothers in the bar are no longer scavengers. They all have families, wives and children. They have put their lives here. What should they do with their families? What to do next for Kaleva’s revenge?
In the end, what made Yilin give up completely was...
Liao Ji.
The young man around her had nothing to do with this incident. She could not kidnap Liao Ji into this incident because of her own impulse. Theoretically, she was acting as the young man's guard. How could a guard ignore the safety of his employer? Why do you take the initiative to make enemies of your employer?
What's more, in the current "contract" situation, the young man is more like a "master" than her "employer".
Judging from her knowledge of Liao Ji, Yilin was sure that even if she wanted to stand up for Haisha Bar, she would be deprived of control of her body by the young man immediately.
The girl who thought of this subconsciously looked in the direction of Liao Ji.
What Yilin didn't expect was.
She happened to meet the young man's eyes. It turned out that the young man just now had been staring at her.
"You..." Erin was speechless.
"You're doing well, Miss Erin. I thought you would just rush forward in a hot head."
Liao Ji's appreciation here is serious.
He was fully prepared. If the girl didn't communicate with him and just ignored him and rushed up to her, Liao Ji would not hesitate to completely confine Yilin and consider changing the girl's behavior later. A way of getting along.
Yi Lin is currently his only doomed warrior, and Liao Ji's request for the girl is very simple. There is only one requirement, that is, he must be placed in the first echelon from his heart and understand his position as a "subordinate".
Liao Ji could tolerate Yilin's shortcomings and bad habits in daily life, but he couldn't tolerate a person who didn't take him to heart, a subordinate who didn't care about the "boss".
Fortunately.
The unpleasant scene did not appear. Liao Ji did not need Yilin to explain too much. The girl's glance back at him said a lot. For Liao Ji, this was enough.
After all, they had only been together for less than half a day.
It seems that my efficiency in brushing up favorability in the past was quite high.
After whispering something in my heart.
Liao Ji took the initiative to speak. He mentioned before that he had prepared two hands, and now it is this second hand.
"Miss Erin, given your improved performance, I think you should be rewarded."
"so..."
"Whatever you want to do, just go ahead and do it."
Wha...what!
Yilin looked surprised and couldn't believe her ears, because Liao Ji had always given her the impression that he was very scheming and cautious. In the mantra of their scavengers, he was Voldemort. But now he actually Suddenly he went from an old cunt to a hot-blooded strong man?
It seems that he has read the girl's heart.
Liao Ji was a little speechless and said: "I just hate trouble, but if trouble comes to me, I don't mind turning them into experience points. I happen to be quite short of this."
Experience points?
What's the meaning.
Yilin's mind failed to turn around the word, but it was quickly forgotten by the excited girl. She felt hot all over her body. It was a feeling of relief that she was finally able to release after being depressed for a long time. Yilin was still There is one last concern left.
"Yes, but they have guns and there are many people. I'm afraid other people will..."
"Miss Irene, they do have a lot of guns, but don't forget what you have. You have the legendary "legacy". "Liao Ji interrupted the girl directly.
The young man's words seemed to have magic power, giving Yilin unparalleled confidence and dispelling her last worries.
The silent power of evil in the girl's body began to swim away, and the power belonging to the evil-changer emerged like a tidal wave.
In the girl's eyes, a faint dark red light began to flash, and on the neck of Erin's back, the coat of arms of the contract began to emit a faint light.
"I see!!"
Before, both the gangsters and the people in the bar had focused their attention on the lobby at the door, so they did not notice that there were two "outsiders" who had not left behind.
But as Yilin started walking step by step, the crisp click of high heels on the floor was particularly loud in the empty bar, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.
Looking at the back of the girl who has become the center of attention,
Liao Ji from behind did not forget to give a warning.
"Oh, by the way, remember that if you can kill... try not to leave anyone alive."
