Chapter XVIII
"I've heard for a long time that rats like to stay here, but if it's the case, you can smell the stench coming from afar."
From the back of the gang queue that suddenly broke in, a man in a black suit slowly appeared, and his merciless provocative words immediately aroused the anger of many customers in the Haisha bar.
"Yo, what, look at your expressions, do you think I'm wrong?" The man in black raised his eyebrows and looked contemptuously at the nearest few scavengers.
Alcohol was already easy to attract people, and coupled with the man's obvious disregard for them, two or three of the scavengers immediately turned red, picked up the wine glass and wanted to throw it at the man.
At this time, the sarcasm in the man's eyes was even stronger, and he was a little disdainful, he didn't care about the other party's attack at all, but rather, this was what he wanted.
As long as the wine bottle is smashed, it will become the first force used by the sea sand bar, and then at that time...
The dozen or so gang men he brought with him were not vegetarians.
It can be seen that several of the gang members of Kaleva have already pointed the swarthy barrel hole at the scavenger who picked up the wine bottle, and are waiting for the other party to enter the trap.
Seeing that the wine bottle was about to be smashed.
At this moment, the figure of a strong man flashed quickly, grabbing the scavenger's wrist before his bottle fell.
"Leave it to me." A low, reassuring voice rang out.
The strong man who stopped the scavengers was none other than the owner of the Haisha Bar in front of Liao Ji and them, Brian.
He changed his previous look at Irene, and his slightly drunk expression disappeared completely.
Brian's prestige was obviously very high, and the impulsive scavenger immediately calmed down and put away the bottle, and at the same time, he himself was afraid for a while, if the bottle was really smashed by him...
Then there is a high probability that he will have to go out sideways today.
"All irrelevant people, please leave first, Seasand Bar... It closes early. Brian's loud voice echoed through the bar, and most of the drinkers breathed a sigh of relief and began to hurry out of the place.
Usually, if it were other people who came to smash the scene and make trouble, they could still mean it, but this time it was Kaleva, the biggest gang in the black cave gathering place, even if they were scolded as rats, they could only swallow their anger, after all, it was more important than fighting for breath, or small lives.
As for the gangsters in Kaleva, the man in black who was obviously the leader before just snorted coldly at this, and a look of pity crossed his eyes, but he didn't stop it.
The number of people in the bar was rapidly decreasing, and Liao Ji glanced at the girl next to him.
Irene didn't move at all, staring at the gangster and Brian at the gate with a nervous expression, seeing the girl's preoccupation, Liao Ji suspected that she might be subconscious, so he directly filtered out the option of leaving.
After all, judging from Irene's attitude of introducing this bar to herself in the past, the girl probably regarded this place as her second home.
All right.
Liao Ji didn't say much about this, and put his eyes back on the scene.
"This is Viper's territory, and although I am not from your Kaleva, the leaders are not allowed to make trouble with each other on each other's territory... This should be the bare minimum rule, right? ”
Brian's face was gloomy and he tried to negotiate with the man in words, but he got a mocking smile from the man.
"Yes, that's right, but there's one exception, that's... The viper died. ”
"Your name is Brian, and you're the head of the rats here, aren't you? In order to save each other's time, I told you directly, the idiot who used to cover you is gone, and I am now the new owner of this piece, so... You know what I mean, right? ”
The man stretched out a hand and gestured towards Brian, in the black cave gathering place, except for a very few merchants with outside forces behind them, the local local shops almost had to pay protection money to the gangsters, and among them, Kaleva was the most rampant.
"This month's Haisha Bar has already been handed over." Brian said in a deep voice.
But the man shook his head: "You handed it over to the viper, not me." ”
After a few seconds of silence, Brian glanced at several of his men, one of whom immediately walked deeper into the bar, and in less than half a minute, came out with a suitcase.
"Take it, and leave." Brian took it and threw the box to the man on the other side.
Under this scene, Irene breathed a sigh of relief, she felt that Brian's forbearance was correct, although she paid an extra month's protection fee, but at least in exchange for no casualties of armed conflict.
But Liao Ji, who was beside the girl, shook his head in his heart, he felt that the matter should not be over yet, the black-clothed leader came over with such fanfare, he should want more than that.
The man just glanced at the cash box and raised three fingers at Brian.
"What do you mean?"
"Your money is not enough, I don't know what standard the Viper set for you before, but in my case, 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 this, the first people who couldn't help it were the subordinates behind Brian.
Listening to the man's meaning, he wants them to pay four times the protection fee, what kind of concept is this, a box has almost 5,000 ash coins, and if they accept it, they will hand over a full 20,000 ash coins to the other party every month!
Their Haisha Bar's monthly income is not to mention 20,000 yuan, most of the time it may not be more than 10,000 yuan, but the income is not pure profit, this is no longer a money grab, this is naked to kill them!
The members of the Haisha Bar were immediately furious, and while scolding angrily, some of them even took out the guy's business.
The smell of gunpowder in the bar hall soared instantly, and the situation was about to get out of control...
"Put the guns down for me!" It was a loud roar from Brian that brought the situation down.
Seeing that several of his subordinates were still resentful and didn't put down their guns, Brian emphasized his tone again, and bit down on them: "Put the gun down." ”
"But, Boss..."
"Didn't even my words work? Put it down! ”
In the end, under the expression of unwillingness, all the people in the sea sand bar lowered their guns, and Brian said in an extremely calm voice after this:
"Wood, bring three more boxes."
Bang bang bang...
The man in black who watched 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 in the ears of the people on the side of the Haisha Bar.
Irene clenched her fists, her nails seeping into her flesh.
The girl's inner thoughts are actually the same as most people in the bar, and she wants to fight hard with this gang of gangsters who deceive people too much.
But maybe it was because of the time she got along with Liao Ji for half a day, and soon Irene's reason told her that Brian's approach was actually the most correct.
The other party is obviously prepared, no one knows if there is an ambush outside the bar, if you really want to fight, the unprepared Haisha Bar must be the losing side, at that time, it is not how much protection money is charged, but the other party can directly occupy this place in a grand manner.
Now, of course, there is another way to win.
That's... She.
Myself.
Now that she has become a doomer, her previous experience of dealing with kobolds in the ruins cave has given Irene a full understanding of her current qualitative and powerful combat power.
If she had joined the war, Ireen felt that they would have won, but... And then what? The other party is not a clumsy kobold with brute force, and she can't do it to save others in the rain of bullets, even if they win, it will definitely be a huge casualty, and Irene knows very well that these brothers in her Haisha bar are no longer scavengers, they all have families, have their own wives, children, and put their lives here, so what should their families do? What about the subsequent revenge of Kaleva?
As for the end, what made Irene give up completely was...
Liao Ji.
The young people around her have nothing to do with this matter, she can't kidnap Liao Ji into this incident because of her own impulsiveness, theoretically speaking, she is acting as a young man's guard, where is the reason why the guards ignore the safety of their employers, but take the initiative to make enemies for their employers?
What's more, in the current situation of "contract", the youth is not so much her "employer" as her "master".
Judging from her understanding of Liao Ji, Irene is sure that even if she wants to stand out for Haisha Bar, she will definitely be deprived of control of her body by the young man as soon as possible.
The girl who thought of this subconsciously looked in the direction of Liao Ji.
And what Ireen didn't expect was.
She happened to meet the young man's gaze, and it turned out that the young man just now had been staring at her.
"You—" Irene was dumbfounded.
"Good behave, Miss Irene, I thought you'd rush straight to the top of your head."
Liao Ji's appreciation here is serious.
He was ready to do both, if the girl didn't communicate with him and rushed up directly ignoring him, then Liao Ji would not hesitate to completely imprison Irene, and then consider that he would have to get along with the girl in a different way.
As the only Doomer combat force of Irene at present, Liao Ji's requirements for the girl are very simple, there is only one, that is, he must be put in the first echelon from the bottom of his heart and recognize the position of "subordinate".
Liao Ji can tolerate all kinds of shortcomings and bad faults of Irene in ordinary times, but he can't tolerate a person who doesn't take him to heart, a subordinate who doesn't care about the "boss".
Fortunately.
The unpleasant scene did not appear, Liao Ji didn't need Irene to explain too much, the glance when the girl looked back at him already explained a lot, and for Liao Ji, it was enough.
After all, they have only been together for less than half a day.
It seems that the efficiency of brushing the favorability in front of me is quite high.
After muttering a sentence in his heart.
Liao Ji took the initiative to speak, and mentioned before that he had prepared two hands, and now it is this second hand.
"Miss Irene, given your improved performance, I think I should be able to reward you."
"So..."
"Whatever you want to do, just do it."
Miscellaneous... What!
Irene showed a surprised expression, a little unable to believe her ears, because the feeling that Liao Ji gave her before had always been the kind of scheming and very cautious and cautious, using their scavenger's mantra is Voldemort, but now the other party has suddenly changed from an old coward to a hot-blooded strong man?
It seems to read out the girl's heart.
Liao Ji was a little speechless and said: "I just hate trouble, but if trouble comes to the door, then I don't mind turning them into experience points, it just so happens that I am quite short of this." ”
Pass through... Experience points?
What do you mean.
Irene's brain couldn't turn the word, but it was quickly left behind by the excited girl, she felt hot all over, it was a kind of refreshment that could finally be released after a long time, and Irene now had one last concern.
"But, but they have guns, and there are still a lot of 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 a legendary "heritage". Liao Ji directly interrupted the girl.
The young man's words seemed to have a magical power, bringing Irene unparalleled confidence and dispelling her last worries.
The silent power of doom in the girl's body began to swim, and the power belonging to the doomer surged out like a tidal wave.
In the girl's eyes, a faint flash of dark red began to appear, and on the neck behind Irene, the coat of arms of the contract emitted a faint light.
"I see!!"
Before, whether it was the gang or the bar, their attention was focused on the hall at the door, so they didn't notice that there were two "outsiders" in the back who didn't leave.
But as Irene walked step by step, the crisp click of high heels on the floor was particularly loud in the empty bar, and instantly attracted the attention of all the people present.
Looking at the back of the girl who has become the focus,
Liao Ji in the back didn't forget to tell him.
"Oh, by the way, remember if you can kill... Try not to leave a living mouth. ”
