Chapter 71 - 0071: Black Eats Black (Seeking collections, recommendations!)
The next day.
After getting up and enjoying a hearty breakfast, Su Lu went to a secluded bar.
“Sir… you’re early!”
The bartender, dressed in a white shirt and black vest, lazily said as he yawned and polished a glass: “We open in the evening!”
“I’m here to buy something! Something special!”
Su Lu tossed a Silver Hawk coin: “If you can tell me where I can find it, it’s yours. ”
To gather the materials to rescue Kira, along with his own equipment, Su Lu planned to solve the problem simply and brusquely by using money to pave his way.
“I’m sorry! Sir… we’re legitimate businessmen!”
The bartender politely and courteously refused.
Are bartenders now so greedy? Su Lu thought.
“Blue Hauk!”
The bartender immediately spouted off an address and a name: “Just tell them our bar sent you!”
“Very good… if I can’t get what I want, I’ll be back.”
Su Lu turned to leave, and according to the bartender’s directions, he went to a dilapidated building in the slum. He knocked twice on the door on the second floor.
“Who is it?”
The door opened a crack, revealing a wary eye.
“I’m here to buy merchandise, introduced by the Black Rose Bar!” Su Lu remained unperturbed.
“Okay! Come in!”
The man inside breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door.
A foul stench hit Su Lu’s nose, making him frown.
Clearly, this place was in the slums and the conditions were poor.
In the narrow, blocked-off room, there were no less than five big men. The man in charge who wore tattoos gave off an intimidating aura.
He had blue hair, obviously of islander descent. He spoke in a low voice, “I am
‘Blue Hauk’! Stranger! What do you need?”
“A set of silverware, the official kind used for church sacrifices… and a gallon of fresh blood. Lastly, I need one handgun, the one with six rounds.”
Su Lu listed his demands.
“Fifteen Golden Dragons, or the equivalent in Silver Hawks, we don’t accept Stephen!”
Blue Hauk quoted the price without batting an eye.
Su Lu opened the money bag only to reveal full of gold coins.
Blue Hauk nodded, inspected Su Lu for one moment, then turned his back and went to the inner room. He seemed to have left from the back door.
Time ticked away second by second; Su Lu frowned, feeling a touch peeved: “What’s taking so long?”
“What you’re looking for is a bit special, it takes time to gather!”
A skinny man looked like a monkey answered cheerfully, yet subtly blocked the door.
‘Are they planning to swindle me?’
At this, Su Lu’s gaze hardened: ‘Just when I wanted to do a straightforward
deal…’
Although he sighed inwardly, he swiftly activated his Inspiration!
Even if Occupational Persons have an advantage over ordinary people, if the latter are fully equipped, the situation will turn around.
Given that his body was still human, bleeding when cut, and dying when hit in the vital parts!
If he were to falter in face of such a low-level challenge after having fought against evil spirits, that would definitely invite a century of mockery from Rod, and intensive training until death!
His Inspiration quickly spread, penetrating the walls, and a three-dimensional image appeared before Su Lu.
Ever since his spiritual enhancement, the range of his Inspiration also expanded continually.
At this moment, he sensed several people rapidly approaching, and the one in the lead was none other than Blue Hauk!
Seconds later, Blue Hauk came in through the back door, followed by several people, and pointed to Su Lu: “That’s him!”
To Su Lu’s surprise, the men were somewhat familiar. Upon closer inspection, he remembered: “It’s you guys!”
They were actually the burly men from that previous attempt at a chase on journalist Dora and were beaten up by Su Lu in the back alley of the bar.
“That’s right, it’s him! Well done, Blue Hauk, you will not miss a penny of the reward,”
One burly man with his arm hanging in a bandage sneered, and with his unharmed hand, he pulled out a handgun: “Didn’t you fight well? Show me more!”
His eyes were filled with the pleasure of vengeance and hate: “I’m going to break every single bone in your body, then throw you into a meat grinder to become mince!”
‘Damn! The meat merchant’s influence is quite powerful. He’s even issued a gangster-hit order. Am I just throwing myself into a trap?’
Su Lu gave a self-mocking laugh, then he thought of Ms. Dora.
She is just an ordinary person, and has been standing still for too long. Her chance of being caught is even higher! But now, he only has one thing to do!
“Watch my authority!”
He skilfully rolled over, avoiding the direction of the gun, and simultaneously activated his spirit oppression!
Boom!
A 3.2 degree spiritual shock, even a ordinary first-order Transcendent would find it hard to withstand.
In an instant, the tough men throughout the room crumbled and kneeled, and many gave off a foul smell.
‘Spirit oppression is indeed a marvelous technique for clearing a scene, like cutting grass when dealing with ordinary people!’
Su Lu rose to his feet, walked in front of the man whose hand he had broken, calmly took the gun from his hand, and scavenged some bullets: “Thank you… By the way, I wanted to ask, what happened to the short journalist who was with me before?”
“You…you…”
The muscle-bound man’s lips were shaking; he was unable to speak. They initially thought Su Lu was just a decent fighter, but now, he seemed non-human!
How could an ordinary person have such a terrifying imposing pressure? It made them feel like they were surrounded by ten lions and ten tigers! “I’m sorry that I injured one of your hands earlier!”
With a frigid expression, Su Lu stepped on the man’s other hand.
With a crunch, it broke.
The muscular man screamed out: “She… she was caught by the boss, locked up in the meat factory. They are trying to force her to disclose the location of the photographs! I only know this much!”
“Address!”
Su Lu continued his interrogation, and soon he obtained the information he wanted.
“Well… finally, please help me do an experiment!”
Su Lu showed a devilish smile, then his spiritual power condensed into a thorn: “Spirit Thorn! ”
Puff!
The eyes of the muscular man rolled back, and blood flowed out from his seven orifices.
He’s dead!
‘Spirit Thorn’ is the strongest single-target spiritual attack of Spiritual
Mediums. With Su Lu’s current capabilities, ordinary people couldn’t withstand
He never held back against those who intended to harm him.
[XP+IO]
A message surfaced on the attribute list.
“As I thought… Even trash has some use.”
This muscular man was a decent fighter, but defeating him earlier didn’t yield any experience points.
However, after his death, he gave Su Lu 10 experience points, demonstrating that through killing some stronger ordinary humans, he could slowly accumulate more.
“Spirit Thorn!”
With this thought, Su Lu mercilessly ended the lives of the worthless bandits in the room.
Aside from the meat merchant’s thugs, these guys were no good either. From what he’d seen of their traitorous actions, they’d clearly participated in such underhanded dealings before.
Moreover, Su Lu felt a vengeful aura clinging to them, a sign they’d committed murder! They’d harmed innocent people!
“Don’t…”
Seeing Su Lu approaching, Blue Hauk wailed pleadingly: “Spare me!” “This is your just desserts!
As Su Lu’s ‘Spirit Thorn’ landed, he turned and walked out the door..
