Chapter 21 Reasons for Employment
After chatting with Cheng Bin, the two hunters quickly left, in fact, they had been in the bar for an afternoon, and they should have done some business.
According to the habits of wilderness hunters, Cheng Bin estimated that these two people should plan to spend the night in the town, so they would stay in the bar for a long time, after all, in Maple Town, if you don't want to go back to the inn to lie down, there are only a few pastimes to choose from, if you don't want to hook up with a girl of a certain profession, or be hooked up by a certain professional girl, there is only clubbing.
In a town like this, even shopping is a dangerous thing for wilderness hunters.
Basically, the town welcomes only the wealth of the hunters, not the hunters themselves.
Dinner time is approaching and the number of guests in the bar is starting to increase. Although Emily's pub doesn't serve vegetarian food, the bachelors of the moors don't like it that much, and the liquor is more genuine, more varied, and of course more expensive than the ale mixed in the water in the town's taverns.
Basically, in the wasteland, being able to sell luxury goods is a reflection of the strength of the business, and not everyone can get all kinds of alcohol.
Emily's bar is very cheap and affordable, which is why the town's bachelors like to stop by for a drink at the end of the day and settle for dinner, rather than buying a piece of hard bread at the bakery and nibbling it down.
For creatures like humans, if they can, the vast majority of people still like to get together, as long as the cost is not too high.
Of course, a direct consequence of the affordable price is that there are all kinds of bachelors who come, and most of them behave rudely, because it is usually difficult to see beautiful women, so even if you know that Isabel has a different identity and is easy to get into trouble if you see too much, you still can't help but pay attention frequently.
Isabel felt fresh at first, but soon grew tired of being stared at, and even knowing that these people didn't dare to do anything to her, it still reminded her of the two classmates who had become unrecognizable yesterday.
So she took the initiative to propose to Cheng Bin that she planned to go home.
Although Cheng Bin has never left his cup, he has not actually drunk much, he has always been suspicious of the self-brewed beer in Maple Leaf Town, knowing that according to the brewing process of beer, it is easy for E. coli to exceed the standard in this thing, so he doesn't want to challenge his intestinal flora at all.
Of course, the main thing is that Cheng Bin is not a person who particularly likes to drink, he only holds a wine glass because he wants to hold something in his hand, in a place like a bar, it is better to hold a glass in his hand than to carry a gun.
So when Isabel wanted to leave, Cheng Bin agreed and rejected the bartender's offer to be escorted, after all, the distance they actually needed to cross was only twenty meters, which was not as long as the distance from the bar.
Seeing Cheng Bin and the bartender walking back after confessing, Isabel suddenly remembered something, and she asked curiously, "I forgot to ask you something." β
She said, "Those two hunters don't seem to believe that you can control the gun well? What does that mean? β
Although the Edwards family is very thoughtful in protecting their little princess, as a family that grew up in the wasteland, they will not devote themselves to cultivating waste, and real aristocratic families pay equal attention to force and wisdom. So Isabel has actually learned a lot of survival skills, including gaming and driving, but she doesn't have many opportunities to practice, so her level is not high, otherwise, Cheng Bin's hands don't have to be bandaged.
So what really attracted Isabel to this issue was that she couldn't understand why those two people thought Cheng Bin couldn't control the gun. After all, in Isabel's opinion, the trigger spring on any gun is very hard, even if Cheng Bin's fingers have a lot of strength, they will not be touched casually.
Cheng Bin was stunned for a moment after hearing this question, and then quickly determined that it was impossible for him to explain this truth very clearly, at least not on this occasion. So he said vaguely, "That's just a possibility." "Anything that exists is possible," he said. Do you understand what I mean? β
Isabel thought for a moment and asked rhetorically, "Really?" β
"Cooked." Cheng Bin thought to himself.
In fact, Andre was right, Cheng Bin was not completely sure that he controlled his fingers and only lifted the first layer of insurance just right. If he could hold the gun in his hand and do this action slowly, it would be fine, but it would be too difficult to pull the gun quickly and complete this action at the same time. This is equivalent to the difference between driving through the toll gate of the highway at a normal speed and passing through the toll gate at a speed of 200 kilometers, and even a hairpin bend before entering the gate.
In fact, Cheng Bin was ready at the time, if he failed to control his fingers and shot the head of the bodyguard, then the target of the shot would be another bodyguard, then the Gu Baptist brothers and other people who might pose a threat to him, and then kill out of the bar and flee the town.
There is one thing here that I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, Emily didn't ask Cheng Bin for his name when she hired him. So far, no one in Maple Leaf Town knows what Cheng Bin's name is, and if someone wants to fill out a wanted warrant for Cheng Bin, then the name column is likely to be replaced by letters, just like Mr. X, who is ranked third.
Cheng Bin was willing to send Isabel to Emily because his conscience would not allow him to throw a little girl in the wasteland. Later, Emily's invitation to stay with Isabel was because he needed an identity to stay in the town. Obviously, to operate in the town, Emily hired bodyguards are much more convenient than the Revenant.
In fact, Cheng Bin never pinned his hopes for retrieving his belongings on Emily, which is why Cheng Bin remained silent when Gu Baptist refused Emily to arrange a meeting with Gloix for her.
No one can raise a real army by his side, at least Glover shouldn't be able to do it, so as long as he can complete the necessary reconnaissance, Cheng Bin can completely get what belongs to him.
Asking Emily to help is just a smoke bomb released by Cheng Bin, if you want something, Cheng Bin can take it himself, and there is no need to fake it to others.
While speaking, the two of them had already walked out of the bar, looking at the empty street at the back door of Emily's house, Cheng Bin suddenly said: "After I went in yesterday, where did you park your car?" β
"Just stop at the gate." Isabel said, "I'm afraid you won't find me. β
Of course, Emily's house is guarded, and it is impossible for Cheng Bin to swagger in through the main entrance, and he may even be noticed if he gets out of the car in front of the gate. So he got out of the car when he was some way from Emily's house, and told Isabel to wait a while before driving over, not knowing where Isabel ended up parking.
Speaking of this, Isabel was still a little excited, and she said to Cheng Bin: "I'll take you over to have a look." After all, this is one of the few things she has done independently in the process of running away from home this time, and she has not messed up.
Cheng Bin nodded, followed Isabel around to the main entrance of Emily's house, and then saw GlΓΆva's bodyguards at a glance.
