"No, it's a girl, a girl with a bad temper!"
In Duke's mind, Vi appeared with shoulder-length pink hair, her bandaged hands sometimes stained with someone's blood, her forearms tightly wrapped in bandages.
"Bad temper?" Caitlyn suddenly became very interested in the friend Duke mentioned. "How bad? It couldn't be worse than my mother's temper, could it?"
"Well..." Duke scratched his chin and chuckled twice, "It's hard to say!"
"If the friend you're talking about is really as you say, then I truly want to meet her!" Caitlyn turned around and leaned against the railing behind her. Duke rubbed his chin, "Briefly leaving during the banquet should be fine, right?"
"This banquet lasts until midnight. It's only eight o'clock in the evening now, so there's plenty of time!"
"So, shall we go for a ride, my beautiful?"
Duke extended his hand to Caitlyn. If Caitlyn and Vi were to meet at this moment, would they fight, or would they fight?
Or would they fight?
Duke felt extremely curious. This was absolutely not like watching a spectacle, but rather based on the scientific pursuit of truth.
"Alright, as long as we can make it back before the banquet ends, I don't think my mother will say anything!"
Caitlyn's eyes showed curiosity. Would that ill-tempered friend Duke spoke of truly get along with her?
.....
Zaun, Black Alley.
A certain dead end.
Bang!!
A bandaged fist landed heavily on the face of a punk with a mohawk. The force of the punch directly deformed the punk's face, his teeth unable to withstand such a strong impact, falling directly out of his mouth and spinning away, and his nose bridge was broken by the punch.
Thud!
Vi shook off the blood on her bandages, squatted down, lifted the punk, and said fiercely, "If I ever see you selling knives in Black Alley again, I'll smash your face!"
Vi, who had slammed the opponent heavily onto the ground, spat out a thick wad of phlegm mixed with blood, and left the alley without looking back, leaving only seven or eight pickpocket punks lying in the alley groaning in pain.
Vi, who skillfully navigated the winding alleys, returned to Fugen Tavern. As soon as she arrived at the entrance, she saw the domineering and fierce motorcycle, and with a raised eyebrow, she pushed open the door and walked into the bar.
Sure enough, she saw Duke in a gray trench coat at the bar. Vi walked through the crowd, and when she passed a table, she didn't forget to throw over the money bag she had just retrieved.
"Hark, your stolen money bag!"
Hark grabbed the money bag, checked it several times, and shouted, "The amount is wrong!"
Vi shrugged towards his pocket, "I don't work for free, of course I have to charge a small handling fee!"
"You took too much!"
"Stop talking nonsense, I still have a younger sister studying upstairs. At most, I'll buy you a beer later!"
Vi shook her fist at Huck, then went to the bar, pulled down her hood, and said to Duke, not without resentment, "Oh, isn't this our Mr. Inventor? What brings you to our rotten place for a stroll?"
"Hey, hey, hey, don't just start firing! I brought a friend this time for you to meet!"
Duke moved aside, revealing Caitlyn in a formal dress. Caitlyn held a glass of fruit wine, a straw in her mouth, her eyes scanning Fugen Tavern, which was chaotic yet held a unique order.
However, her attire seemed out of place here.
"Heh, an Upcity bigwig. How could someone like that hang out with us?" Vi scoffed, dismissing Caitlyn in her formal dress with a sneer.
"Indeed, compared to others, you are remarkably impolite...." Caitlyn looked Vi up and down, her face expressionless, and said, "And you lack both a brain and everything a woman should possess!"
"You bastard!" Vi slammed her fist on the counter. Duke, meanwhile, watched the show calmly from the side; the combination of Caitlyn and Vi was quite amusing.
"Vi!" Vander said in a deep voice, "Go call Claggor and Mylo!"
"Hmph!"
Vi snorted angrily, and Caitlyn also turned her head away. Vander said to Duke, who was enjoying the spectacle, "What were you thinking?"
"I think they'll get along great, so I brought Caitlyn over!"
Vander looked at Caitlyn, and his eyes softened. "This one is the complete opposite of Vi, but perhaps such a person could become a friend!"
"See? I told you!"
