Chapter 276: Chapter 276: Chaos in the Bar! (2nd Update)
Xue An offered a faint smile, “Oh? Is it really that impressive?”
Old Stone sighed, “We’re both from Huaxia, and I truly do not wish to harm you. This city is different from other places, here, there are no laws or rules to bind you! Griffin should know this better than I do! So, take good care of yourself!”
Xue Xiang, who was eating ice cream, looked up and said, “Grandpa, my dad is really amazing!”
Xue Nian also hurriedly chimed in, “Exactly, exactly!”
Griffin, somewhat impatiently, said, “Old Stone, these matters are not for you to worry about. Adults will make their own decisions! We’re planning to stay here for now!”
Old Stone shook his head secretly and turned to leave.
He had seen too many spirited young men enter the City of Sin with dreams of achieving something great.
But often, by the second day, they would be found dead in a gutter, their deaths humiliating.
Once Old Stone had left, Griffin curled his lip, “Sir, that guy is always like this, even more timid than a mouse, pay him no mind!”
With that, Griffin led the way for Xue An and the others to the third floor of the bar as if it was his own backyard.
There were a few rooms there.
Griffin had stayed here for a few days in the past, so he arranged for Xue An and his family to stay here.
After Griffin went out, An Yan said with some nervousness, “Husband, what the old man said was quite frightening, wasn’t it?”
Xue An smiled slightly, “He meant well, but with me here, no one would dare to do anything to you! Just stay here comfortably, and in a few days, I’ll take you all home!”
After settling An Yan and her daughters, Xue An turned and went downstairs.
Griffin lived on the second floor; he had now changed into a different outfit, wearing a dirty jacket and a face full of weathered stubble, completely unrecognizable from the refined gentleman he was before.
“Sir, I think the most important thing now is to take back my territory!” Griffin babbled, his eyes filled with a fierce look.
It was clear that the guy was still brooding over the betrayal of his subordinates.
Xue An chuckled, “There’s no need to rush that! I’d like to see what the City of Sin is really like first.”
As night fell.
The small bar began to liven up.
Gang members with tattoos on their faces leisurely sipped their drinks by the bar.
Exotically dressed dancers began to sway sensuously on stage, accompanied by intoxicating music that made people involuntarily start to get lost in the revelry.
Old Stone was behind the bar, mixing his signature cocktails.
At that moment, a few of the gang members said impatiently, “Old Stone, is it just these same old tramps again today?”
Old Stone chuckled, saying nothing.
“Hey, what happened to that hot chick from a while ago?” one of the gang members asked with a lecherous grin.
“Who knows? Maybe you scared her off!” Old Stone said with a laugh.
He was the only one on the street who dared to joke with these lawless ruffians.
Just then, Xue An and Griffin descended the stairs!
The appearance of these two unfamiliar faces attracted a lot of attention.
Especially Xue An.
With his neat dress and calm demeanor, he seemed utterly out of place in the dim and chaotic atmosphere of the bar.
A few of the gang members frowned slightly, about to say something.
Old Stone quickly said with a smile, “This is a distant nephew of mine, who has just come from Huaxia to seek my help!”
“You old fart, you still have nephews?” the gang members relaxed their guard and jeered.
Xue An found a spot and sat down.
Old Stone hesitated for a moment, poured him a glass of wine, then lowered his voice and said, “You better leave quickly! This place is too chaotic!”
Xue An smiled, “Chaotic? That’s exactly what I want to experience!”
Old Stone, irritated, glared at him, thinking highly displeased that Xue An was nothing but an ignorant punk, so he turned and left.
Griffin whispered to the side, “Sir, those loudmouthed gangsters laughing over there should be members of a nearby motorcycle gang!”
At this point, a hint of disdain crossed his face.
“Back in the day, even the boss of their motorbike gang had to kneel before me!”
Xue An smiled faintly and took a sip of his drink.
The spicy liquor with a hint of sweetness exploded in his mouth. The taste surprised Xue An a little.
Griffin chuckled, “Surprised, aren’t you? Although Old Stone is a pushover, his bartending skills are top-notch! Many big shots come here specifically to taste the drinks he prepares.”
While they were speaking, the door to the bar was pushed open.
Everyone turned to look, and then all were stunned.
A woman wearing an ultra-short skirt, showing off a pair of long, straight legs, walked in.
Her attire was revealing, and her figure extremely sensual.
Under her dyed light purple hair was a pretty, Eastern-looking face.
In such a small bar, her arrival naturally caused quite a stir.
Especially those in the motorcycle gang, who all hooted at her.
Despite being ogled by so many men, the woman remained unruffled.
Instead, she sashayed up to the bar with grace, expertly took out a slim lady’s cigarette, lit it, took a deep drag, then said indifferently, “Give me a ‘Twilight Love’.”
Old Stone was a bit nervous, but still swiftly made the drink and handed it over, while murmuring softly, “Why have you come again?”
The woman smiled slightly, “You run a bar, don’t I have the right to come?”
Caught off guard by her reply, Old Stone nodded helplessly, “Of course, you can come! Enjoy your drink!”
After saying this, he turned and walked away.
The motorcycle gang members, however, started to laugh, their gazes growing increasingly malicious.
A muscular man with a tattoo of a venomous snake on his face sneered, “Old Stone, is this hot chick someone you’ve brought in to spice things up and boost sales? Otherwise, why would she come here so often?”
This woman was the very hot chick they had just mentioned.
She would occasionally appear in this small bar, making those in the motorcycle gang salivate with desire.
Old Stone chuckled bitterly, “How could I possibly afford to hire such a woman!”
“So, you’re saying that this chick is just showing off by coming here?” said the brawny man with a vicious smile.
Old Stone’s heart sank, and he was just about to say something.
The brawny man had already stood up, holding a cheap beer and approached her.
“Sweetheart, feeling a little lonely, eh? Big brother here is pretty tough, how about we get to know each other?” The muscular man sat down next to the woman, leaning against the bar with an evil grin on his face.
The woman put down her glass, turned her head to glance at the muscular man, and a cold, disdainful sneer appeared on her face.
“Get lost!”
The face of the muscular man suddenly darkened, and he slowly drank his beer, saying coldly, “Do you know who you’re talking to?”
The woman took a drag from her cigarette and exhaled a cloud of smoke toward the muscular man, “I’m not interested in knowing, but I’m really pissed off right now, so get lost!”
The muscular man’s face changed drastically, and he sneered, “Fine, tonight you’ll find out just how formidable I am!”
