Chapter 993: Chapter 993
Lin Chen walked into the bar, where the lighting was dim and invigorating rock music was booming.
Sitting at the bar, Lin Chen said to the bartender, "Give me a Bloody Maria."
The bartender was a young girl dressed in a maid outfit. She was surprised to hear Lin Chen's request for the drink: "That's a strong liquor, not everyone can handle it."
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "I just love strong drinks."
The girl snorted coldly, "I hope you won't collapse here in a bit."
With those words, the girl began mixing the drink. Her movements were very skilled, like flowing water, and her actions with the glass seemed like magic, very dazzling. Soon, a perfectly mixed Bloody Maria was placed in front of Lin Chen.
Lin Chen nodded in satisfaction, looking at the bright red Bloody Maria.
The girl's skills were indeed impressive; the drink had distinct layers, with the top looking like an autumn sunset, the middle resembling red roses, and the bottom as red as blood.
The glass emitted a faint aroma of wine, a special scent of French roses and dragon fruits, irresistibly enticing one to take a sip.
Lin Chen picked up the glass and drank it down in one gulp.
"Damn, this guy must have a death wish, drinking a Bloody Maria in one go. Watch, it won't be three seconds before he collapses."
The bartender silently counted in her heart, one, two, three...
However, the scene she anticipated did not occur. Lin Chen, smiling broadly, brought the glass to her again: "Beautiful, one more please!"
Seeing Lin Chen perfectly fine, the girl was momentarily dumbfounded.
"Damn, did he drink fake alcohol just now? How's he fine?"
"Kid, you've got quite the tolerance!" A seductive woman approached Lin Chen from behind.
The woman had long, ink-black hair reaching all the way to her waist, long willow-leaf eyebrows, and enchanting eyes that captivated men with their allure.
A black dress tightly wrapped around her curvaceous figure.
Her slender, long legs extended from the hem of the dress, clad in thin, silk-like black stockings, incredibly sexy.
Her delicate, translucent feet were further accentuated by three-inch high heels, enhancing her allure.
She's absolutely a seductress enough to drive any man mad.
"Ye Zi, make another drink for this gentleman," the beauty said with a smile.
"Yes, Sister Yan." Ye Zi nodded and quickly mixed another drink.
"This one is on me." Sister Yan smiled at Lin Chen.
"You're Chinese?" Lin Chen asked, surprised upon hearing Sister Yan speak Chinese.
"Meeting fellow countrymen in a foreign land feels quite comforting, doesn't it?" Sister Yan replied with a smile.
Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, for a Chinese woman to run a bar in this Island Nation, I admire you. I salute you."
Saying this, Lin Chen was about to drink it all down again, but Yan stopped him.
"This drink is not meant to be drunk like that. Sip it gently, savor its fragrance." Sister Yan advised with a smile.
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "No matter how strong the drink is, for me, it's just like drinking water, just to quench my thirst."
With that, Lin Chen drank all the wine in his hand down again.
"You rascal." Sister Yan shook her head helplessly.
Just then, a commotion suddenly erupted from one of the booths in the bar.
Lin Chen looked in the direction of the booth and saw several thugs dragging a woman into the booth.
Lin Chen immediately recognized the girl as Su Wanrou.
"Why is she here?" Lin Chen frowned, standing up.
Sister Yan, realizing Lin Chen was about to intervene, advised, "Young man, this isn't China. Some matters are better left alone."
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Sorry, but some matters must be taken care of."
With that, Lin Chen stood up and walked straight towards the booth.
Sister Yan sighed, shook her head, and followed him.
At the booth entrance, several thugs were pulling a woman into the booth. Although the woman had drunk quite a bit, she still struggled hard to break free from their clutches.
Many people gathered around to watch, but most were just there for the spectacle.
At that moment, a figure stepped out from the crowd: "Let go of that girl."
"Damn, who's so fed up with life that they're daring to meddle in Hei Feng's business?"
Seeing the sudden appearance of the naive fellow, the spectators looked on with eyes filled with pity.
This guy, nicknamed Hei Feng, was a notorious thug here, often harassing girls, a matter no one ever intervened in.
This kid sticking up his neck, daring to meddle in Hei Feng's business, is he not courting death?
Hei Feng was known to be ruthless, and the most crucial part was his strong backing. His brother was said to be one of the Four Great Kings of Itada Corporation, a figure who kills without blinking an eye—who dares to play against that background?
"You bastard, have you got a death wish, daring to mess with my business?"
Hei Feng narrowed his gaze and reached out with a slap.
A loud slapping sound reverberated, but oddly enough, it was not the young man in front who fell, but Hei Feng himself.
Hei Feng sat on the ground, covering his swollen cheek with his hand, a bewildered look on his face.
Witnessing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded.
What just happened? Clearly, Hei Feng intended to smack the young man, yet he himself was the one getting hit.
Not only were the bystanders puzzled, but the person involved, Hei Feng sitting on the ground, also had a bewildered expression.
His palm reached out to hit the young man, yet felt a sudden sharp pain on his face, and then his whole being was slapped away. From start to finish, this young man didn't seem to move at all.
Hei Feng had never suffered such a loss, and he shouted at the thugs behind him, "Get him together, ruin this kid for me!"
Just as the thugs were ready to pounce together, Xu Yan stepped forward, blocking Lin Chen.
Seeing Xu Yan intervene, Hei Feng squinted slightly: "Sister Yan, what's the meaning of this? Do you intend to go against me, Hei Feng?"
"Brother Hei Feng, young people are ignorant. Give me some face and let him go." Xu Yan said with a smile.
"Oh wow, Sister Yan, what's your relationship with him to protect him ? Is he your toy boy? Why don't you give us a live performance here, and I might let this kid go." Hei Feng said with a sneer.
"A show, a show," the thugs behind Hei Feng began jeering.
Lin Chen's gaze turned cold, without a word, he coldly glared at those thugs.
Damn, they want to watch me perform; soon I'll bust them up so badly they'll never have a chance for such performances again.
"Hei Feng, don't be too excessive. If you want to get to him, you'll have to deal with Xu Yan first. If you create trouble in my establishment, Mr. Itada won't let you off." Xu Yan glanced at Lin Chen with a hint of determination in her eyes.
"Don't try scaring me with Mr. Itada; do you think you're something? What I despise most are Chinese pigs like you. I'll kill this kid today." Hei Feng said while waving his hand, signaling those punks to disregard Xu Yan and continue assaulting Lin Chen.
