"Bang!"
The sound of the door being kicked open was naturally very loud. Several pirates who were close to the door and happily chatting were immediately startled by the noise. They looked over and saw a guy wearing a black long trench coat, a half-high silk top hat, carrying a small leather suitcase, and looking quite handsome, making him look like a... novice adventurer.
Everyone here was a pirate who licked blood off the edge of a knife. They could generally tell at a glance whether a person was a novice or a big shot. This was also a necessary survival skill for them—of course, this didn't apply to those who deliberately disguised themselves.
After all, if an actor's acting skills were so easy to see through, they wouldn't be called an actor.
The aura of a novice that this person exuded from head to toe was so obvious that anyone could guess that he was probably a newbie who had just gone to sea, hadn't been beaten up by society yet, and might not have even killed anyone.
Such adventurers were not uncommon on the sea. Every year, many fools like this went to sea, and then either died in the sea or survived by luck and became seasoned adventurers.
"Wow!" Immediately, a pirate with a flushed face, obviously having drunk a lot of wine, whistled and said with a grin, "Another fool has arrived. Look at his appearance, even more beautiful than the women in the Red Theater..."
Bang—
Accompanied by the sound of gunfire, a bullet shot at the feet of the pirate who had made the joke. The latter was immediately startled. He first looked at his feet, then raised his head and broke out in a cold sweat, and even the drunkenness from drinking a lot of wine lessened.
Because the gun in the novice adventurer Lin Ruo's hand was already pointing at him, and he said with an unkind expression, "Try saying another word?"
Since he wanted to be both a novice and a troublemaker, he naturally had to carry out arrogance to the end—moreover, Lin Ruo's 'novice' persona was aimed at Beyonders, not ordinary pirates.
Faced with the rudeness of these ordinary pirates, arrogance was the way to go, which was a good way to kill two birds with one stone.
The pirate immediately shut up, showing a sullen expression. He quickly admitted defeat in front of the gun, saying, "I misspoke. Just treat me like a fart, you big shot!"
"Humph!" Lin Ruo snorted pretentiously, but he didn't intend to argue with the other party.
He suddenly shouted to the back, "Gehrman, hurry up. Why are you walking slower than a snail?"
Then, under the gaze of everyone, an adventurer dressed in the same style as the novice adventurer, with a gentle and polite smile on his lips, appeared at the door of the bar.
Compared to the novice who was arrogant from the moment he appeared, this adventurer named Gehrman looked much gentler and more polite.
Walking into the Shark Bar, Klein, who was maintaining a gentle and polite smile on his face for the sake of his persona, naturally saw the situation in the bar at a glance, and also guessed what had just happened here. Although he had expected it, he still had a lot of complaints in his heart that he wanted to spit out but couldn't. He then said, "Don't mess around, Wayne."
Gehrman's persona was outwardly gentle and reasonable, but in reality, he was crazy and cold. What Klein was showing now was naturally the superficial layer of Gehrman's gentle and polite persona.
"He was the one who was rude first. I didn't even hurt him, I just scared him a little. How is that messing around?" Lin Ruo said with complete justification.
"Forget it, that's not important!"
As he spoke, he shook his head, as if throwing the matter to the back of his mind. He walked to the bar in three steps and asked the bartender Lier, "Do you have a guy named Lier here?"
The bartender Lier glanced at him with a cold expression, his eyes falling on the gun in his hand, and replied, "Do you need me for something?"
If he didn't answer, he was really worried that this novice who didn't understand the rules would mess around.
"So you're Lier!" Lin Ruo's face appropriately revealed a look of sudden realization, and then in the next second, the bartender Lier watched as a fist magnified in front of his eyes. Before he could dodge, his chin suffered a heavy blow.
Thump!
The bartender Lier was directly knocked over, his body hitting the wine rack next to him.
Clatter—
Countless bottles filled with wine shattered on the ground after this collision, and a strong aroma of wine permeated the air.
Lin Ruo then supported himself on the bar with his right hand and jumped behind the bar. He approached the bartender Lier, who was barely standing up, with extremely agile movements. He raised his right foot, and his knee heavily struck the bartender Lier's stomach.
Pfft!
The bartender Lier was kicked up into the air and crashed into the bar on the left. His expression twisted in pain for a moment, and physiological tears had already welled up.
"Cough... cough..."
Amidst the broken glass all over the ground, the bartender Lier coughed several times. He wanted to stand up again, but his body was constantly weak due to the pain.
"Why...?"
He wanted to ask why, because the bartender Lier really didn't understand why the person in front of him suddenly hit him.
"If you ask me why I hit you, the reason is very simple. Seven days ago, you forced Miss Avril to death... Perhaps you don't remember her anymore, after all, she was just an insignificant orphan to you, just an inconspicuous one among the countless girls you have persecuted, but who told you to be unlucky enough to meet me, I can't ignore this matter!"
As Lin Ruo spoke, he lifted the bartender Lier's collar with one hand, pulled him up from the ground, and pressed him against the bar. He then pressed the revolver against the other's head, his eyes cold.
"Tell me, should I blow your head off with one shot?"
Lin Ruo wasn't lying about this. In fact, according to the investigation, the bartender Lier did force a girl named Avril to death seven days ago. In fact, not only Avril, but in Lin Ruo's investigation, this guy Lier relied on "Bull" Haise to act like a bully, and didn't know how many good girls he had harmed.
Whether it was "Bull" Haise or the bartender Lier, although they were just hunting targets to Lin Ruo and Klein, insignificant, they were no less than jackals and tigers to those lonely and helpless ordinary people.
This was also the reason why Lin Ruo set the bartender Lier as bait—such a guy deserved to die.
Just then, because the bartender Lier was beaten, the bar's guards quickly rushed over.
But before they could get close to the bar, "Bang—bang—bang—" After a series of gunshots, every one of the guards was honorably shot in the leg, and several people were lying on the ground in an instant, all screaming.
This made the surrounding pirates and adventurers turn their attention to the person who fired the gun. It was the adventurer who had entered with the arrogant novice.
At this moment, the adventurer was holding a gun in one hand and playing with a gold coin in the other. He raised his eyes and looked at the guards lying on the ground, the smile on the corner of his mouth still gentle and polite.
He said with a smile, "It's polite not to disturb other people's conversations, isn't it?"
But the more such a smile, the more such politeness, the more it made everyone feel cold.
Damn it! Where did this gentle politeness come from? This is clearly a Lunatic in disguise!
His novice companion was at most impulsive and reckless, full of a sense of justice, but he himself was a real Lunatic!
