Chapter 88 Doan Bar
The driver was an ordinary uncle, wearing a worn-out short-sleeved shirt with a faded pattern on the front.
Whether it was the metal badge on Lu Xin’s chest or their imposing presence, the driver, gripping the steering wheel, asked fearfully, “Do you have a Dragon Hunter’s enforcement order? If not…”
“We don’t have an enforcement order, but they say there’s a fight against invading sea monsters there, and the situation is not optimistic. My teacher has already rushed ahead. I am a Dragon Hunter, and this person is a Priest. We must get there as soon as possible…”
As Lu Xin was about to explain, the medical student next to her frowned and shouted, “If you’re told to open the door, open it quickly! Dallying and causing delays, can you afford that?”
Lu Xin frowned slightly, wanting to intervene, but thinking about the potential shortage of medical personnel, she sighed and let the boy have his way.
She was originally alone, and this guy was acting too friendly, attaching himself to her.
“The door is open…”
Seeing their stance, the driver swallowed and was about to agree. Dragon Hunters, they were aloof Dragon Hunters.
“Sorry, I called this car.” The voice was a little cold.
Just as the boy was about to get in the car, “Crack!” Su Jiu emerged from the black mist, placing a hand on the door handle, looking up at the two of them. As night fell, a hint of red gleamed in his eyes.
Do you think this is the old world where you can commandeer anything you want? If you speak nicely, I might give you a ride, but steal a car?
Scram!
“Who, you’re not looking… It’s you, the one in the Hanfu? Aren’t you also a Priest?”
Turning around, the boy intended to curse loudly, but upon seeing Su Jiu, he swallowed his harsh words.
However, seeing that Su Jiu was alone and looked short and small, he glanced at Lu Xin beside him, straightened his back, and said, “Everyone wants to go save people. Why don’t you join us and contribute your strength?”
As the medical student spoke, he kept looking at Lu Xin, as if seeking her approval. He thought that by adhering to righteousness, a girl like this would surely agree. However, to his surprise…
Lu Xin not only did not agree but her expression changed drastically. She quickly bowed and apologized, “Senior, he meant no offense…”
“I am not some senior. If you tell me about the situation with the monsters we’re fighting, I don’t mind giving you a ride together.”
Su Jiu shook his head slightly and said.
He was somewhat puzzled. Monsters? The Dragon Hunters Alliance in the provincial capital would suffer heavy losses?
Although Huainan Province was not developed, Fuzhou was not a small city like Huayang or Huawen. It was a bona fide second-tier metropolis!
According to novel descriptions, the Dragon Hunters Alliance in such a region would have at least one Battle King Level expert guarding it, and even a stronger War God Level might exist!
But why did she say the situation was critical, yet there was no earth-shattering battle?
“We can… Senior, where are you going? Let me see if it’s on the way…” Lu Xin lowered her head, looking nervously at Su Jiu, afraid of displeasing him.
Just as her teacher secretly told her, a healer like this, who could casually hunt Battle Generals, might be a King Level expert who forcibly killed that woman with a superior level of power!
“Doan Bar.” Su Jiu said softly.
“Doan Bar? You’re going there?!” Lu Xin was suddenly a little surprised, but thinking of Su Jiu’s strength, she breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, saying, “It’s on our way.”
“Then get in the car.”
Nodding lightly, Su Jiu sized them up, then opened the car door, got into the passenger seat, and turned to ask, “You know this bar? You’re not from here, are you?”
Her father, Lu Sheng, was an Elder stationed in Huayang, wasn’t he? How did she know about this small bar here?
“This bar is very famous in Fuzhou. My teacher mentioned it on the way.” Lu Xin got into the car first, sitting obediently in a corner without any extra movements.
The boy at the car door raised an eyebrow and also got in, but he showed a look of contempt for Su Jiu going to a bar in the middle of the night. His lips parted slightly, and he was about to say something when Lu Xin beside him stopped him with a look, shaking her head slightly.
“Master, the last four digits of the phone number are 0809.”
After stating the phone number, watching the driver nervously start the car, Su Jiu tilted his head slightly, looking at Lu Xin in the corner, and asked in confusion, “Very famous? How is it famous?”
Night Watchers, shouldn’t they be more hidden?
“A few years ago, it was just a strange little shop that opened after 9 PM and closed at 6 AM. But because it provided free porridge to early-rising workers, it became known as a charitable bar online.” Lu Xin paused and continued, but what she said next even she herself found somewhat incomprehensible:
“Because of its fame, they received many tourists who came specifically to visit. They seemed to have made some money, and as a result, they were extorted for protection fees by the largest local gangster.”
Su Jiu blinked, signaling her to continue.
“This little bar refused. Just when everyone thought the people in the bar would suffer that night, something bizarre happened the next day!”
Lu Xin swallowed, her eyes showing an expression of disbelief to Su Jiu, “That gangster’s entire family, including everyone associated with them, died in their sleep. Their guilt was written on their pillows.”
“Just when everyone thought Dragon Country would investigate this bar, after all, Dragon Country’s laws are strict, but to everyone’s surprise, the government chose to remain silent, and it seemed they didn’t allow anyone to investigate the matter!”
“Some speculate that this bar is a front for money laundering by a certain important figure, and fewer people go there now.”
Su Jiu turned his body forward, leaning back in his seat. How strong was this Night Watcher organization? However, judging by the government’s attitude, their welfare seemed quite good.
“Hey, this Dragon Hunter girl, Doan Bar is not some place for money laundering. They receive countless homeless passersby.”
The driver, somehow gaining courage, suddenly spoke up, his face filled with deep nostalgia.
“I also know their owner, Mr. Li, the blind one. He’s a short, one-eyed old man. When I had nowhere to go, he was the one who gave me bowls of hot porridge every day to keep me alive. Those at the bottom of this city have all received their kindness in one way or another.”
“That local gangster purely offended too many people, which is why he was eliminated…”
Listening to the driver’s continuous praise, Su Jiu propped his chin with one hand, looking at the thick mist around them. A red light flashed in his eyes, and after a moment, he continued to ask, “Then… what about the monsters?”
The driver uncle wisely shut his mouth, and Lu Xin also looked out the window at the mist, saying with a somewhat solemn tone, “They are sea monsters called Sirens. For some reason, they are now aggressively invading the city with fog, and even Battle King Level experts cannot disperse it.”
