14: Chapter 14 Brother Long is Here

Lin Heng did not look at the leader of the men in black.

He just raised his wine glass indifferently; the Female Bar Owner brought the most expensive red wine in the Wanhao Bar and poured it for Lin Heng.

The bright red wine flowed slowly down the side of the glass, as alluring as blood.

Lin Heng took an indifferent sip and pulled the beauty in his arms a little tighter.

The young girl in his arms was soft and warm, a faint fragrance lingering at the tip of his nose. With top-tier red wine at hand and the awe-filled gazes of the entire room surrounding him, Lin Heng felt a secret thrill in his heart.

Red wine paired with a beauty—this kind of showmanship was the only thing worthy of his status as a Transcendent expert.

As for why Lin Heng kept emphasizing his status as a Transcendent expert, it was because twenty-four hours ago he had been an ordinary person. Now that he had this strength, was he not allowed to talk about it?

Lin Heng: "I am a Transcendent expert, I am a Transcendent master, I am a Transcendent Great Master."

He happily took another sip of red wine, but to be honest, the red wine didn't taste good. He wanted to spit it out, but for the sake of Face, he swallowed it anyway.

The Female Bar Owner was very perceptive. Seeing that Lin Heng had dealt with Brother Long's men, she knew this was a big shot who couldn't be trifled with, so she immediately turned to the guests in the room and said loudly.

"Dear guests, I am truly sorry. Wanhao Bar is closing early today. All expenses for everyone present are on the house. Please leave quickly and do not linger!"

The crowd had long been scared out of their wits by the scene just now and couldn't wait to leave this place of trouble. Hearing this, they stood up one after another, not even daring to say thank you, and walked quickly toward the door with their heads lowered.

Zhao Yueyin finally slowly came back to her senses. Leaning in Lin Heng's arms, her cheeks were burning hot, and her heart was still pounding wildly.

"Who exactly are you?" Zhao Yueyin asked, looking at Lin Heng.

Lin Heng's eyes were bright, and he just gently set her down: "Don't speak."

The Female Bar Owner wanted to walk over to remind Lin Heng a few things, but Lin Heng looked at her as well and said: "Keep your mouth shut."

He took a deep breath.

In front of him was the System's pale blue light screen. Lin Heng glanced at Zhao Yueyin and the Female Bar Owner. Confirmed that only he could see his simulator, he felt relieved.

The time had reached midnight, and the fourth simulation could now be started.

He didn't know how long it would take for that so-called Brother Long to get here.

"Forget it." Lin Heng shook his head.

He no longer had the patience to wait.

Genshin, ah no, that's wrong.

Simulation, start!

[Yes/No: Consume 10 Talent Points to start the simulation?]

[10 Talent Points consumed. Current remaining Talent Points: 162.]

[Simulation started.]

The text on the simulator began to scroll.

[You looked around inside Jinhao Bar.]

[The man in black you threw onto the bar counter, and the beauty in your arms.]

[You confirmed it and knew that you were now inside the simulator.]

["So that means I am Lin Si," you thought to yourself. "There are only 162 Talent Points left."]

[You felt a bit anxious.]

["Then my goal is to live well and obtain more Talent Points," you thought secretly, determined for this simulation.]

"Obtain Talent Points?" Lin Heng put his arm around Zhao Yueyin's waist: "Indeed, compared to cultivation or whatever, Talent Points are more important to me right now. It feels like Lin Three's talent makes it difficult to even achieve a Breakthrough to the Innate stage."

"Moreover, Lin Si's talent is even worse than Lin Three's. However, Lin Si's starting point is higher, so achieving a Breakthrough to the Innate stage shouldn't be a problem, but it's hard to say about becoming a Martial Arts Saint afterwards."

"It still depends on Lin 5. Lin Si's main purpose is to lay the foundation for Lin 5," Lin Heng thought.

["But I need to put on a good show of being a badass right now." You looked at the current scene, a flash of slyness in your eyes.]

[You picked up the red wine glass on the table, took a small sip, and swept your gaze over the Female Bar Owner, who was nervously clutching the hem of her qipao.]

["What kind of person is Brother Long?" Your tone was flat, devoid of emotion, and your gaze looked at her calmly.]

[The Female Bar Owner shuddered upon hearing your words. She quickly stepped forward, bent her waist even lower, and her voice carried a distinct tremor.]

["Brother Long's real name is Li Hu. He has a dragon tattooed on his back, so everyone calls him Brother Long. It can be said that he is the emperor of the underground circles in Fei City, a figure who can cover the sky with one hand."]

["Any KTV, bar, or nightclub in our Fei City that has a name, as well as several underground casinos, are almost all his businesses."]

[The Female Bar Owner swallowed hard as she spoke: "Take this Wanhao Bar, for example. Although I am the owner, I have to pay 40% of the profits to Brother Long every year."]

["Is that so? The emperor of the underground circles." As you spoke, the corners of your mouth curled into a smile. You had only heard of this kind of plot in novels; you never expected to actually encounter it now.]

[There is a saying: it's better to arrive at a good time than to arrive early. Coming to this bar this time was truly a coincidence.]

[Otherwise, you would probably still be following the official route of the Dragon Group right now.]

["I wonder if I can cultivate my own forces this time," you said, rubbing your chin.]

[But you quickly shook your head: "No, I still need to be low-key. Low-key. I'll just act cool this one time, and then I'll lie low and save up Talent Points."]

["And what about you?" You set the young girl in your arms down and asked her.]

[Zhao Yueyin had not yet recovered from the shock just now. The image of you casually tossing a cup to knock down a group of men in black was still circling in her mind. At your question, her body trembled slightly.]

["My name is Zhao Yueyin, and I am from the Zhao Family in Fei City. My Family wanted me to have an arranged marriage with the Shen Family in Fei City. I didn't want to marry, so I snuck out..." Zhao Yueyin's voice grew quieter and quieter, and you didn't hear what she said afterward.]

[However, after hearing this, you had a rough idea of what kind of situation this was.]

[Isn't this just the classic trope of a heroine running away from an arranged marriage in a cliché novel?]

"Fei City Zhao Family?" Lin Heng glanced at Zhao Yueyin beside him and took out a small notebook.

On it was a name written: Zhao Hui. This Zhao Hui was likely, nine times out of ten, also from this Zhao Family.

["Wait a second, what does the matter between your Zhao Family and the Shen Family have to do with that Brother Long?" you asked.]

["Brother Long?" Zhao Yueyin let out a cold snort upon hearing these three words. The previous panic faded away, replaced by a Face full of arrogance.]

["I only give him some Face by calling him the emperor of the underground. To put it bluntly, he is just a dog raised by Second Master Shen, specifically to do dirty work for the Shen Family."]

["If it weren't for the fact that Second Master Shen personally gave the order this time, would he dare to touch a single hair of mine? By tomorrow, all ten fingers on his hands would be chopped off by someone."]

[When Zhao Yueyin said this, there was undisguised pride in her eyes; clearly, she did not take Brother Long seriously.]

[But when you think about it, it makes sense. When Lin Three looked up Zhao Hui before, that Zhao Family was not only economically powerful but also had significant connections in the military and political circles. As a Young Miss of the Zhao Family, that Brother Long was indeed just a hoodlum who couldn't be brought onto the stage in front of her.]

[However, the relationships between these big families really make one feel that things are intricate and complicated, you sighed and thought.]

[Suddenly, the sound of cars braking sharply came from outside, accompanied by a burst of noisy footsteps.]

[Without needing to think, you knew it was Brother Long's men who had arrived.]

[You looked at Zhao Yueyin and revealed a playful smile: "It seems this dog, carrying the master's orders, is here to take you back."]
