Chapter 277: Chapter 277: Glamorous Woman (Third Update)
As he spoke, the burly man raised his hand and slapped her.
This burly man was huge, with a palm the size of a fan—if he connected, the woman’s head would likely shatter!
Old Stone cried out in alarm.
Yet faced with such a slap, the woman remained utterly unflustered. Instead, she looked at the burly man with cold indifference, the corner of her mouth even curling with a hint of scorn.
Right at that moment, a silver lighter, like a streak of light, flew in from behind and struck the burly man’s face.
Boom!
The man was sent flying as if hit by an elephant, hurtling backward.
When he finally stopped, blocked by a table, his face had become a horrific sight.
Not only were his bones shattered, but his teeth had also fallen out.
With that, the entire bar was alerted.
The remaining members of the motorcycle gang all stood up suddenly, “You wench, how dare you strike a member of our motorcycle gang?”
The woman paid no attention to them and instead turned with interest to Xue An, smiling beautifully as she approached him.
“Thank you,” said the woman.
Xue An glanced at the woman, then cast his eyes downward and said indifferently, “No need to thank me, it was just a small effort.”
As Xue An’s gaze swept over her, the woman felt a sudden tremor.
This man’s eyes were so deep, like bottomless pools, impossible to resist falling into!
By now, the members of the motorcycle gang had realized who had thrown the strike and pulled out the handguns they carried, advancing towards him.
“Kid, you’ve got guts, hitting a member of our motorcycle gang like that?”
As they spoke, their guns were all aimed at Xue An.
In the face of this scene, Old Stone was so frightened that his whole body trembled as he said loudly, “Please don’t, he might have just acted impulsively….”
“Shut your trap, old fool, get out of the way!” one of the gang members scolded, then turned to look at Xue An and the woman.
“Heh, want to play the hero, saving the damsel? Good, take both of them. Tonight, we’ll have our fun with this woman in front of this guy!” the scar-faced man said maliciously.
Upon hearing this, the woman’s eyes turned cold, but she said nothing, simply looking at Xue An.
Xue An’s eyebrows rose slightly, and he commanded sternly, “Scram!”
To others, this word might have seemed unremarkable, but to the gang members, it was like thunder exploding, rupturing their eardrums.
One of them was so petrified that he collapsed and died on the spot.
At this, the rest of the motorcycle gang members lost their nerve, scrambling to the door and sneering as they looked back, “You’ve got spirit, boy! If you’re really tough, then just wait here!”
Xue An smiled lightly, “Good! I’ll give you ten minutes!”
The gang members fled in panic.
The other patrons in the bar exchanged looks, then quietly made their exits.
As residents of the City of Sin, they had seen their fair share of such scenes.
They also knew that the departing men would surely return with reinforcements.
This bar would soon become a bloodbath!
Old Stone, terrified, turned pale and stomped his foot, sighing.
“You… you… ah, it’s too late for words. Hurry and go! Leave from the back, or once the motorcycle gang members return, you won’t be able to leave even if you want to!”
Xue An chuckled and shook his head, “Leave? Why should I go?”
Old Stone widened his eyes, and in the end, with a sense of resignation, he let out a sigh, “Alright then, you’re asking for trouble. If you won’t leave, I’d better find a place to hide!”
With that, he ran to the back room and locked the iron door tight.
Now, the only ones left in the large bar were the woman and Xue An, along with Griffin.
Griffin, having seen all sorts of big scenes, was nonchalant about the situation.
The woman, on the other hand, seemed remarkably calm too, even taking a seat to the side, observing Xue An with a hint of surprise in her gaze.
“Aren’t you scared?” the woman asked softly.
This time, she spoke in standard Mandarin.
Xue An gave a faint smile, “Then why aren’t you scared?”
The woman spread her hands, “Because I’m used to this kind of scene! And at most, they’ll just take me back. But you, you might actually die!”
Xue An chuckled and didn’t say anything, but just continued to drink his liquor.
The woman watched with interest and suddenly leaned in and asked, “Tell me the truth, are you trying to pick me up?”
Upon hearing that, Xue An almost spit out his drink; he coughed lightly and shook his head.
“Then why did you help me? You do realize that what just happened has nothing to do with you!” the woman asked, curious.
“Does helping someone need a reason?” Xue An retorted.
“It doesn’t?” said the woman.
“No, it doesn’t! But if you really need a reason, maybe it’s because you’re also from Huaguo,” Xue An said indifferently.
The woman stared at Xue An as if looking at some rare animal, then shook her head and said, “You’re definitely not from the City of Sin!”
“Oh? Why not?”
“Because people from the City of Sin would never do that! What they would most likely do is watch me get taken away by those guys, and then scavenge for whatever’s left behind!”
After saying this, the woman sighed and then raised her glass, “To your damn kindness, I’ll toast you!”
Xue An smiled and lifted his glass as well.
As the alcohol went down, the woman’s eyes seemed to become somewhat blurred, and then she leaned close to Xue An and said, “If… you don’t die later, I can stay with you for the night! Don’t worry, it’s on the house!”
Xue An looked somewhat startled and then shook his head.
“What’s the matter? Think I’m dirty?” the woman’s expression grew cold.
Xue An smiled faintly, “Not at all, and… I have a wife!”
At this moment, Griffin chimed in with a laugh, “Exactly! Our boss’s wife is a knock-out, unlike any ordinary woman you can just pick up!”
Then Griffin turned to Xue An, somewhat proudly stating, “How’s that, boss? My Mandarin’s not bad, right?”
The woman was taken aback.
He’s married?
The woman’s gaze flickered, seemingly lost in thought.
Just then, the deafening roar of motorcycles came from outside.
Then someone bellowed, “This is the place! Our brothers died right here!”
Next, people wielding clubs shattered the bar’s glass, and the door was kicked open with a single blow.
A group of bikers filed in, one after another.
These burly men, all with shaved heads and wearing leather jackets, had grim faces and were armed with various firearms.
Such a show of force even took Griffin aback for a moment, and then he muttered under his breath, “Damn, haven’t seen them for a few days, and this little bike gang’s gotten so powerful?”
At that moment, the crowd parted, paving a way for a huge man with a bare chest and scars all over his body to walk in slowly.
