Chapter 13 Rotten Leaf Bar In the Fuye Bar on Excel Street, there was a round table in the middle. Liu Yonglu and Xiaohu were sitting at the table. There were several plates of desserts and a pot of hot tea on the table. The Rotten Leaf Bar is the largest bar in the town of Excel. Although it is called a bar, it also serves as a cafe. During the day, many elderly people would drink a cup of coffee in the bar and enjoy a relaxing time. At night, young people would squeeze in to drink and party. It can be said that the Fuye Bar is never short of customers. But at this time, with Liu Yonglu's table as the center, dozens of dining tables were empty, forming a vacuum zone. The few remaining tables of customers were all sitting far away, eating the food on the table hurriedly. Their intentions were self-evident: they left quickly after finishing their meal. What's wrong? There were quite a lot of people coming in, but why are they all rushing out in a short while? Is someone handing out eggs outside? Liu Yonglu sat there wondering, he came here to investigate intelligence. As the storytelling said, pubs and inns are the most well-informed, so his first stop was the Fuye Bar, but after he ordered his food and before he could inquire about the news, everyone had left. He didn't know that the town of Excel was not very big, and if there was any big news, almost everyone in the town would know about it. What's the most popular news about Exar right now? "Devil's Son"! So the moment he brought Xiaohu in, everyone in the bar looked at them in fear.
A boy of five or six years old, with black hair and black eyes, and the most noticeable thing is that he has six fingers on his left hand. All the features match, so what are you waiting for if not running? "First... sir, the dessert you ordered..." The waitress came over tremblingly with a plate in her hand. The waitress stared at the plate in her hand the whole time, not daring to raise her eyes. Liu Yonglu could also see that the little girl was afraid, but what was she afraid of? Oh, did the nuns expose my official identity? Hey, should I be included in the list or become an official beauty? "Leave it there." Liu Yonglu acted like Kangxi on a secret visit and raised his chin. He didn't know that the person people were afraid of was not him at all, but Xiaohu, who was sitting opposite him and had been staring at his left hand since he came in. "Don't leave yet, I want to ask you something." "No, the kitchen... asked me to wash the dishes, but I'm a bit busy." The waitress turned around and left, like a cat whose tail was stepped on. Tsk, why don’t you come a few days earlier to investigate? You don’t even give me a chance. Liu Yonglu is also open-minded. He grabs the cake with his hands without using a knife and fork and takes a bite. "Eat, Xiaohu. Don't leave any leftovers after ordering so much." Xiaohu didn't reply, his eyes still on his left hand. He picked up a cream roll with his right hand and put it into his mouth. He chewed very slowly, and each time he twisted his upper and lower jaws, the frequency was consistent, just like a normally functioning machine. Liu Yonglu ate two bites of dessert and then closed his eyes to rest. As he was resting, he fell asleep. There was nothing he could do. He had worked with the Toad all night last night and he was very sleepy. Seeing him fall asleep, several waiters hiding behind the bar and the gloomy-faced boss began to whisper. "This child... must be the son of the devil." "Shh, keep your voice down, the left hand with six fingers, I've seen him in Lisa's shop before." "Who is this unlucky guy? Why have I never seen him before?" "Humph, you're just an ignorant bastard from another country. You don't even know when your death is imminent." "Didn't anyone warn him?" "My Aunt Samantha said that the Devil's Son has a strange magical power that will make the adopter feel an unknown affection for him and unable to reject him." "Really? Then aren't we... doomed too?"
"No, I heard that he only attacks his adoptive parents, and the ways of death vary, but they are all chilling." "How do you think this guy will die?" "Who knows, it would be best to get the demon child out of town and let him die, so that he doesn't come back." Liu Yonglu leaned back in the chair and dozed off (light sleep) for more than ten minutes before he slowly woke up. He wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and saw the gloomy and resentful eyes of the boss behind the bar. What do you mean? Looking at me like that, it must be malicious. Liu Yonglu subconsciously covered his pockets quickly, and the wallet was still there. The wallet was not lost, and he felt even more confused. You look at me? Then I look at you too. Liu Yonglu tried his best to put on the most ferocious expression as he looked at his boss, and made a neck-wiping gesture with his hands that he learned from a movie. The boss shrank his neck in fear. This person seemed a little different from the previous adopters. Could he be in cahoots with the Son of Devil? After sitting there grimacing for a long time, Liu Yonglu felt his bladder a little bloated, so he stood up to go to the bathroom. The bathroom in the bar was not big, and there was a spring-loaded sliding door at the door that could be opened from both sides. Liu Yonglu had just woken up and was still a little confused, so he didn't notice that someone happened to come out of the door. Neither of them saw each other. Liu Yonglu took a big step forward and stepped on the other person's instep. The streets of Excel were already muddy, and his kick left a large black shoe print on the other person's crocodile leather shoes. "Little bastard, didn't your mother forget to pull out your eyes when she took you out of her stomach?" the other person said viciously. "Step on your shoes? I should step on your mouth!" Liu Yonglu had just exchanged glances with his boss and was still angry. He didn't tolerate the sudden scolding and just scolded back. Only then did he see clearly who was coming out from the opposite side. He was a tall man in his 30s, wearing a brown leather jacket and two oversized gold rings inlaid with white ivory on his hands. He had a big face and a beard, and he was holding a cigarette in his mouth, looking fierce. The man's name was Hughes Gerard, and he was a bootlegger in town. Moses Sadd did not ban alcohol, but imposed high taxes, which led to the smuggling of private brewing among the people. This business had high profits, but was absolutely illegal. Those who worked in this business were basically ruthless people who valued money over their lives. Xius had business to do today, so he went to the cafe to have breakfast in the morning to kill time. Just now when Liu Yonglu and others came in, he was squatting in the toilet to take a shit. Now that he had finished, washed his hands and was ready to go out, he ran into Liu Yonglu! "Good boy, if you apologize obediently, I may still let you go, but if you don't know what's good for you, it seems necessary to let you know who I am!" After the two of them had a quarrel, Liu Yonglu woke up. Seeing that the man was big and strong and difficult to deal with, he was a little scared. But at this point he was so angry that he would never give in. "I don't care who you are, I won't piss on you no matter who you are. You are so big, you can't speak human language, your mouth is full of ashes and dregs, and I'm telling you, I have to fight you today." Zeus narrowed his eyes and loosened his sleeves. No one in Excel dared to talk to him like this. "It seems like you won't learn your lesson unless I give you a beating." "You want to touch me? Try to touch me once, believe it or not, I will beat you." Liu Yonglu was still thinking about saying a few harsh words, but he didn't expect the other party to attack directly and punch him with his sandbag-like fist. What about Liu Yonglu? He didn't know how to fight, but he had some self-protection awareness. He put his hands in front of his chest to hold the other person's fist. But the size difference between the two was too great, and Liu Yonglu's strength was no match for the other person, so he was pushed all the way out by Xius. "Bang, bang, bang!" The tables, chairs and benches behind Liu Yonglu were knocked over countless times before they stopped. Looking to the side, they stopped in front of his desk. Behind him was Xiaohu, who was sitting there looking at the two of them. "Xiao Hu, it's okay. Let me open his hands first. I'm afraid I'll be too heavy-handed and slap him so hard that he becomes half paralyzed." Liu Yonglu turned his head and tried to save face for himself.
"Let go, and don't attack me if you have the guts. Let's practice together." I practiced wrestling when I was a kid, and you won’t be able to handle me if I give you a kneeling leg folding stance (a Mongolian wrestling stance).” Although he was harsh in his words, Xius was not afraid of him. However, he followed Liu Yonglu's gaze and saw Xiaohu in front of the table! He didn't know what bye-bye meant, but he saw the child clearly. Five or six years old, black hair and black pupils, six fingers on his left hand, isn't this the son of the devil? In two months, eight or nine lives were taken! One of the deceased owed him money, and when he went to collect the debt, he saw the scene of the death with his own eyes. The word "horrible" was not enough to describe the corpse. It was a picture of hell that he had only seen in the Holy Virgin's scriptures when he was a child. Thinking of this, his heart trembled, and the strength in his hands naturally withdrew. As soon as he loosened his grip, Liu Yonglu was able to jump off the table. He had just been pushed down on the table by Xius, with both his feet off the ground. Seeing that Xius had surrendered, Liu Yonglu thought that his intimidation had worked. He thought that the opportunity should not be missed, so he picked up the teapot on the table and ran towards the other's head. "Bang!" The teapot shattered and Zeus staggered. "How dare you challenge me! Do you know who is the leader of this group?" Seeing that he had succeeded in his attack, Liu Yonglu became more arrogant and used all the gangster rhymes he had learned in school. As for Xius, it was okay. Liu Yonglu had already drunk up all the water in the teapot. The porcelain of the teapot in the bar was also relatively thin, so it did not cause any substantial damage to him. He was a little confused for a while but then he recovered. He wiped the tea off his head and turned to walk out of the bar. The son of the devil was here, and he didn't want to have anything to do with this kid. But as he was about to walk out, someone grabbed his collar from behind. "Don't go. Did I let you go?" You have to pay me for tearing my coat like this, and come back and sit down!" Liu Yonglu was still not giving in. Xius turned back tremblingly and met Xiaohu's unblinking, lifeless black eyes. Hughes didn't dare to look anymore, so he lowered his head and chose the farthest chair and sat on it obediently. "We'll talk about the compensation later. Answer me a few questions first. If you answer them well, our relationship will be settled. The answer is not good? Humph..." Liu Yonglu glanced at Xiaohu with a sneer, meaning to show off and let the child see how powerful he is. But Xius misunderstood. He thought the psychopath in front of him wanted to let the son of the devil torture him, so he quickly lowered his head and replied: "You ask me, and I will tell you everything I know."
