Chapter 21: Young Master Lu: I Really Came Here to Get Drunk, Why Are You Bodyguards All Kneeling?
Capital City, Nightfall Bar.
This was the most prestigious den of debauchery in the entire inner ring. The roar of heavy metal music was loud enough to pierce eardrums, and laser lights swept frantically across the twisting bodies on the dance floor.
Lu Shixuan had changed into an extremely flamboyant leopard-print shirt, with the collar open all the way to his upper abs, and he held a bottle of Ace of Spades worth six figures in his hand.
With an arrogant stride, he kicked open the door to the top-tier VIP private booth.
"Everyone, get hyped for This Young Master! Tonight's entire tab is on Young Master Lu!"
Lu Shixuan shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing throughout the bar with the help of an amplifier.
Behind him followed a helpless-looking Lu Zhirou.
The Second Sister was wearing a tight black leather skirt today, her slender legs dizzying under the lights. She was also carrying that professional medical kit filled with silver needles.
Lu Shixuan turned back and glared at her, his tone reaching a peak of nastiness.
"Second Sister, I'm here to have fun. You're following behind with a medical kit—people who don't know better would think I'm here to be your lab rat!"
"Hurry up and get back to studying your lab rats. Don't spoil This Young Master's fun here!"
While Lu Shixuan was scolding her, he was complaining frantically in his heart.
Whew, the smell in this bar is really something. Second-hand smoke plus cheap perfume, it's making my lungs feel like they're going to explode.
Second Sister too, why did she have to follow me?
I wanted to come here and order ten models, one on each arm, and record a video to send to the family group chat while I was at it.
As long as Eldest Sister sees me messing around in a place like this, she'll definitely think I'm a hopeless piece of trash and take back my five hundred million in startup capital.
Sigh, for the sake of ruining my reputation, I'm really sacrificing my lungs.
Lu Zhirou tucked a stray hair behind her ear, her beautiful eyes behind her glasses shimmering with a doting light.
She heard it.
A Xuan clearly hated the smell of smoke and even had a slight dust allergy, yet he insisted on barging into a place like this.
And when he entered just now, his eyes immediately scanned the fire hydrant in the corner of the booth to confirm the emergency exit.
This child, he's clearly worried that I, his sister, have too much work pressure and wanted to bring me out to relax, yet he insists on acting like a playboy.
He really is a clumsy and gentle younger brother.
"A Xuan, you play your way, I'll just watch from the side."
Lu Zhirou sat on the leather sofa, elegantly crossing her legs.
Lu Shixuan gave a cold snort and directly beckoned the bar manager over.
"Get This Young Master all the prettiest girls you have here!"
"I want the kind who can drink, play drinking games, and even swear!"
The manager agreed repeatedly with a fawning expression. In less than five minutes, a row of scantily clad, heavily made-up professional hostesses walked in.
Lu Shixuan deliberately put on a lecherous expression, pointing at the girl in the middle who was holding a tray.
"You, come here and pour This Young Master a drink!"
The girl kept her head down, her expression seemingly nervous, and the hand holding the glass trembled slightly.
Lu Shixuan reached out to take the glass. The moment his fingertips touched the rim, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded in his mind.
Ding!
Extremely dangerous chemical substance detected: 'Rosemary No. 3'.
God-Tier Pharmacology automatic identification: This is a potent anesthetic targeting the central nervous system. Colorless and odorless, it takes effect in three seconds and is commonly used in Dark Web kidnappings.
Lu Shixuan's heart skipped a beat.
Holy crap!
Anesthetic?
This isn't some ordinary hostess, is this an assassin hired by Ye Chen?
If this drink is given to Second Sister, a weak doctor like her would basically be a lamb to the slaughter!
Damn it, that bastard Ye Chen actually dares to poison Second Sister's drink?
Lu Shixuan's gaze instantly became extremely cold.
He had originally intended to play a bully harassing women, but now, he only wanted to kill.
"Smack!"
Lu Shixuan suddenly swung his hand, splashing the spiked whiskey directly onto the girl's face.
"Pah! What kind of trash liquor is this? It reeks of piss!"
"Are you trying to poison This Young Master so you can inherit my Ant Credit debt?"
Lu Shixuan stood up and grabbed the girl's hair. With incredible strength, he lifted her straight off the ground.
"Speak! Who sent you?"
The girl clearly hadn't expected Lu Shixuan to see through the anesthetic. A flash of ruthlessness crossed her eyes as her left hand quickly pulled a blue-tinted dagger from the stocking on her upper thigh.
It was coated in poison!
"A Xuan, be careful!"
Lu Zhirou cried out and was about to rush forward.
Lu Shixuan cursed inwardly.
Don't come over, Second Sister!
You coming over will only be a burden to me!
This assassin's movements are like a snail crawling in my eyes. Just watch me beat the crap out of her!
God-level Combat Technique, crank it up to maximum power!
Lu Shixuan didn't retreat but advanced. At the moment the dagger was about to pierce his chest, his body twisted at a bizarre angle.
"Crack!"
That was the sound of bones shattering.
Lu Shixuan accurately gripped the girl's wrist and twisted. The dagger fell to the floor with a clang.
Immediately following that, he performed a clean shoulder throw, slamming the girl heavily onto the marble coffee table.
"Crash!"
The coffee table shattered.
The surrounding hostesses screamed and fled in all directions.
Seeing this, the several 'bodyguards' standing at the door exchanged looks and simultaneously pulled out specially-made silenced pistols from their coats.
These were professional Dark Web Cleaners.
"Lu Shixuan, die!"
The muzzles were aimed right between Lu Shixuan's eyebrows.
Lu Shixuan looked at those black muzzles, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
Holy crap!
They have guns?
System, you didn't say this world had these things!
Can my combat technique dodge bullets?
I'm finished. This time I'm really retiring—retiring straight into an urn.
No, Second Sister is still behind me. I have to block them!
Lu Shixuan suddenly spread his arms, shielding Lu Zhirou firmly behind him.
He squeezed his eyes shut, yet his mouth was still frantically shouting provocations.
"Shoot! If you've got the guts, hit This Young Master right here!"
"Whoever so much as blinks is a grandson!"
Damn it, I haven't even been in a relationship in this life. That girl Chu Yaoyao's lips were quite soft, too bad I won't get to kiss them again... However, the expected gunshots didn't ring out.
"Thud! Thud! Thud!"
Three muffled sounds.
Blood blossomed from the wrists of the three armed assassins almost simultaneously as they collapsed to the ground, screaming.
Outside the door, Third Sister Lu Hongyi stood wearing a black tight-fitting combat suit, holding a Type 92 pistol equipped with an infrared sight. Her gaze was as cold as a Shura from hell.
Behind her was an entire squad of SWAT officers.
"Making a move on my brother on my turf—do you think the prisons in the Capital are too spacious?"
Lu Hongyi walked in, her muzzle still steadily aimed at the assassins on the floor.
Lu Shixuan opened his eyes and felt completely numb as he watched this familiar scene of 'justice falling from the sky'.
Third Sister... did you put a tracker on me?
How is it that every time I want to be a hero (go to my death), you can make a precise entrance?
Great, now my image of'sacrificing myself to save my sister' is set in stone again!
Lu Zhirou stepped out from behind Lu Shixuan. Looking at her brother's broad but slightly trembling back, her eyes instantly turned red.
In that moment just now, A Xuan hadn't hesitated for a second.
He used his own body to block all the gun barrels.
He was clearly scared to death, and was even muttering about never having been in a relationship, yet he still chose to protect her.
"A Xuan..."
Lu Zhirou hugged Lu Shixuan tightly from behind, her voice choking up.
"Thank you for saving your sister again."
Lu Shixuan froze in place. Hearing the system's settlement sound, he just wanted to flip the bird at the ceiling.
Ding!
Detected that the host has completed the 'Bar Brawl' mission.
As the host saw through the Dark Web's poisonous plot, sacrificed himself to protect his sister, and assisted the police in capturing four Dark Web A-rank assassins.
System Judgment: The host's villainous disguise has reached a level that deceives heaven and earth. Favorability across the entire network has exploded.
Reward: 20 million in cash.
Reward: God-level Crisis Perception (Passive trigger: If there is killing intent within a hundred meters, the host will automatically feel an 'urge to urinate' as a reminder).
villain points: -5000 (System Note: host, you are already recognized as the 'National Younger Brother' of the Capital. Please give up the struggle).
Lu Shixuan closed his eyes in despair.
Urge to urinate reminder?
What kind of ghostly reward is this!
He pushed his Second Sister away and roared at Lu Hongyi with a face full of irritability.
"Lu Hongyi! You ruined This Young Master's fun!"
"I was just about to have an in-depth exchange with this young lady, why did you bring so many people barging in? Give me back my lady!"
Lu Hongyi put away her pistol, walked over, and rubbed Lu Shixuan's face hard.
"Alright, A Xuan, stop acting. Sister knows you were startled. Let's go home. Eldest Sister has already locked that ungrateful thing Ye Chen in the cellar."
Lu Shixuan's eyes darted around.
Locked in the cellar?
What a great opportunity!
I can go to the cellar to humiliate him and let him go while I'm at it, so he can continue being a villainous stepping stone for me!
"Take me to the cellar! I want to personally interrogate that bastard!"
Lu Shixuan roared with a ferocious expression.
Lu Hongyi and Lu Zhirou exchanged looks, their eyes full of gratification.
"A Xuan has finally grown up. He knows he needs to clean house himself."
Lu Shixuan: "..."
I really just want to release him!
What on earth are you imagining!
