Chapter 165: The Sorrow of Monster Hunting
With the stars twinkling in the night sky, Los Angeles is shrouded in mystery at night, and the bustling streets are quieted down, with only the bright bars, clubs and nightclubs proving that the city is still vibrant.
Tomorrow is the weekend, so I'm out with Elena tonight, and our destination is the Los Angeles branch of the Witchers' Association, a midnight bar that is only open at night.
Pushing open the door, there are more people in the bar than ever, and I don't know what an important day it is, but it doesn't matter to me anymore, I have only one purpose, which is to take on tasks to earn some money and live the life of a rich man.
"Look, two new rookies are here." Someone saw me leading Elena into the bar and coaxed.
"She's still a kid from the East, but the chick next to her is so sexy, oh my God, she's still a werewolf." Someone didn't know how to recognize Elena's identity at a glance.
"What? Werewolf woman? Hey, hey, this kid is not shallow, the female werewolf is not easy to catch, and even if she catches it, it is difficult to tame, how did he do it? Someone touched his chin and looked at Elena with an indescribable look on his face.
"Hey, Oriental boy, wait a minute." A middle-aged man with a full beard stopped me and Elena, his deep eye sockets, high nose bridge, typical Latin American descent, but I can only give a bad review for his appearance, a dark brown torn wool coat, I don't know how many years I haven't washed, it's already dirty and black and shiny, with a leather pocket on his body, I don't know what it contains, I know from the demon hunting badge he wears on his clothes, he is a three-star hunter.
"Something?" I asked, frowning.
"It's not a big deal, I just want to ask, is this female wolf transferred? I pay $100,000, and if I don't want to transfer it, then will she sell it? How about 5,000 a night? The middle-aged man looked at Elena with greed in his eyes.
"I'll give six thousand, how about it? Just let me enjoy one night and I can owe you a favor by Jonny Brandon. "A fat man like a fat pig came up.
Whistles and foul language suddenly came to mind in the bar, and a group of people followed suit, it seemed that they had long been accustomed to this kind of thing, what the hell was going on with these people?
At this time, I felt as if someone was tugging at the corner of my clothes, and when I looked back, I saw that it was Elena, but her face was pale, and her eyes were full of sadness and worry, she was afraid that I would sell her?
"She's not a cargo, and she's not a street girl, please get out of the way." I said coldly.
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, everything is negotiable, I will pay 7,000 US dollars, I can't be more." As he spoke, the middle-aged man pulled out a bundle of dollars and was about to hand it over to me.
"I'm also out of seven thousand, and I don't mind sharing her with others, it's even more exciting." The fat pig man also pulled out a bundle of dollars to hand it to me.
"Get out of here right now." I gritted my teeth and said in a cold voice.
"Boy, don't be embarrassed, don't you just want to play with a female wolf? If you're done playing, I'll pay you back, and you can still earn more than $10,000, how good is it? The fat pig man glared at the little beads and snorted coldly.
"As a rookie, I advise you not to refuse our request, otherwise you will regret it." The middle-aged man smiled and threatened me.
", believe it or not, I'll let you two go out sideways?" Am I really angry and hit Elena's attention? These two bastards dare to force Liang to be prostitutes?
"Hehe, the Orientals are really a bunch of guys who don't know how to be flexible, come on, boy, let me taste if your fists are as tempting as this female wolf." The middle-aged man clenched his fists and made a clicking sound.
Although these two bastards are much stronger than me, especially the middle-aged man in front of me, his height is definitely about 1.9 meters, his body is as strong as a cow, and the fat on the other dead fat pig makes me sick to watch, but I have every confidence to beat these two bastards and teach them how to behave.
"John, John, you two guys want to make trouble at the bar?" At this time, Sam came out of the bar, and he had seen everything he had just seen, but I didn't understand why he had just stepped in to stop it.
"Sam, you saw it just now, this kid wants to teach us a lesson." John, the tall, middle-aged man, said with a smile.
"You've forgotten the rules here?" Sam said coldly.
"Of course we didn't forget, we were just joking with the rookie, boy, don't be afraid." John squinted at me and said.
I didn't speak, just looked at the two bastards coldly, and I knew they definitely weren't joking with me just now.
"Sam, I want to take the task." John and Jonny were back at the table by this point, but their eyes were on me and Elena, and I guess they weren't as kind as Sam.
"Come with me." Sam led us back to the task-filled cabin.
"What's going on with them?" I asked Sam with a frown.
"Don't blame them, this is an unspoken rule among demon hunters, the status of demon hunters is low, especially female demon hunters, and in the end, most of them are reduced to tools to make money, and some demon hunters will sell their demon hunting beasts when they are tight, or lease them to others, which is also the sadness of demon hunting beasts." Sam whispered.
"The Witcher Guild doesn't care?" I didn't expect the Witchers Guild to have such a dark side.
"What's the matter? Who can become a witcher who doesn't hate dark creatures? Each of them has a story behind it, and in the eyes of the witchers, dark creatures are evil beings. Sam whispered.
"You'd better be careful, they don't dare to mess around at midnight bars, but it's hard to say if they're outside, to put it bluntly, the witchers are a bunch of lawless outlaws." Sam said in a deep voice.
"Okay, I'll be careful." I didn't expect that even if I became a monster hunter, I would face even more tragic encounters.
"You can choose the task yourself, just register with me after you have chosen." Sam said.
I nodded, and glanced back at Elena, who seemed to be depressed and didn't know what she was thinking.
"Don't worry, I'll never sell you for those things." I smiled and stroked Elena's hair.
"Hmm." Elena smiled a little when she heard my assurance, but she didn't believe me if she looked so reluctant?
When I came to the task wall, I saw that there seemed to be a lot more tasks on the wall than last time, and I decided to take on the most expensive task this time and make a lot of money, which would be enough for me and Elena to live for a while.
