Chapter 1465 - The Cause
Chapter 1465: The Cause
In this era when high-rise buildings started from one hundred floors, the higher floors were more popular. Not only because one could stay away from the electromagnetic waves emitted on the highway, but also because the roof overlooked the brightest night view of the entire city and one could breathe in the freshest air in the city.
Not to mention, the hidden neon sign wasn’t particularly eye-catching.
Even though there were occasional ordinary pedestrians passing by, after seeing the two words “Dark Reef” printed on the signboard, it was difficult to become interested in the dim lights inside.
Of course, some unusual guests would say otherwise.
In the circle of some special professionals, this bar hiding in the gutter was still very famous in a sense.
For example, the man sitting in the corner of the bar with a beard on his face and a scar on his mouth was one of them. If this face appeared in other places, it could cause a lot of trouble to the store and himself.
But here...
As long as he didn’t take the initiative to cause trouble, no one would look at him.
Perhaps it was because of the stories written on his face, or perhaps it was because of the atmosphere of the 22nd century... But when people saw him drinking alone, many beautiful girls came over to talk to him.
However, from the moment he walked into the bar until now, no one was able to seduce him.
“That guy is a little strange...”
“Everyone here is strange.”
“But he is probably the strangest one I have ever seen.” The woman who moved the vape pen away from her lips and sat in front of the bar chatted with the bartender. She glanced with interest in the direction of the man.
The bartender standing behind the bar smiled faintly.
“You better keep away from him.”
The woman looked up at him and asked curiously, “Why?”
“Nothing, just intuition,” the bartender said softly after a glance at the man sitting there. “After working here for so many years, I’ve developed a gut feeling.”
Intuition told him that that person was not the same as those little b*stards who strayed on the streets. Although the hostile spirit on his body was not strong, behind the hostile spirit hid a sharp edge and madness.
From just a glance, the bartender could conclude that such a person was either a criminal from Mars or targeted by Interpol...
The door of the bar suddenly opened, and a man in black came in from the outside and walked straight towards the bearded man sitting in the corner of the bar.
When he sat down across from him, the bearded man raised his eyelids and glanced at him.
The man dressed in black spoke after smiling slightly.
“Chester, good at programming, modifying, and using smart devices, and using light weapons. Once a space pirate active in the asteroid belt and the colony of New Virginia. After your forces were annihilated by the Pan-Asian First Fleet, you fled and arrived on Earth. You are currently being hunted by Interpol. At the same time, you had a friend whose name is Ruzas, who happened to be the same name as the protagonist of the hijacking incident some time ago...”
He looked at the bearded man whose expression was getting gloomy. The man wearing black sitting opposite him smiled and continued, “He did something that you wanted to do but never dared to do, but his fate was very miserable... Do you know? Although I don’t know what methods they used, it is written in his autopsy report. Before they died, they suffered a great deal. There were no internal organs or blood vessels left in the whole body.”
Chester’s face was sullen. He squeezed out a sentence from his mouth.
“Who are you?”
“It doesn’t matter who I am.”
The man in black put his hand into his lap.
Chester’s pupils shrank instantly.
However, what he took out of his lap was not a pistol or another weapon, but a pale silver card.
He placed the pale silver card on the table and gently pushed it in front of Chester. The man in the black coat continued to speak with a relaxed tone, “We are very sympathetic to your experience, we are also disappointed by the simple and rude way of dealing with problems in Pan-Asian Cooperation. Someone should teach them a lesson. If you want revenge... You should find this card useful.”
Chester said with a gloomy expression, “I hate the feeling of being directed. Do you think you can leave here alive after what you’ve told me?”
“Alive?” There was a surprised expression on the man’s face. He smiled politely and said, “As a robot, I don’t quite understand what you mean. But if you want, my master said that he can give me to you as a meeting gift—”
The moment he heard these words, Chester violently grabbed the man’s wrist and slapped his face against the table with his hand.
Screams were heard in the bar. The surrounding guests scattered and left. The bar security who noticed the situation immediately surrounded him from the side.
“Robot...”
He’s actually a robot?!
After releasing the hand of the robot, the expression on Chester’s face was full of solemnity. A trace of panic even flashed through his calm pupils.
His identity had been exposed.
And he didn’t even know who was the one who targeted him or sent this robot to him.
The security guards next to him had surrounded him.
The robot man lying on the table was motionless. The burly security guard looked up and down at Chester. He then said in a cold tone, “Guests who make trouble are not welcome here, please pay the bill and leave.
“Or we will make you.”
Chester did not say a word. He silently picked up the pale silver card from the table. His index finger flicked in the air as he paid the bill.
There was no time to waste.
He just wanted to return to his hiding place immediately, pack up his things, and prepare to run away.
He was in a bad situation...
Without realizing that a dangerous man was standing in front of him, the security captain glanced at the bartender behind the bar and nodded. He continued to look at Chester and pointed to the door with his chin as he spoke loudly.
“F*ck off.”
Chester had already taken a half step towards the door. After hearing this, his footsteps suddenly stopped.
He looked back at the security guard who was a head taller than himself. His eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke in a calm tone.
“You have ten seconds to apologize to me.”
After hearing these words, the security captain was stunned. Obviously, he didn’t expect that this guy, who was surrounded by so many people, would still make such a statement.
The security guards standing next to him laughed as if they were looking at a fool.
“Is this a joke?”
“He probably drank too much.”
“Boss, I will fix him for you... I’ll sober him up.”
One of the security guards stood up, clenched his fist, and leaned against the man unkindly.
However, the robot lying on the table suddenly grabbed the wine bottle on the table and slammed it at the security guard’s forehead.
The bottle burst open.
The security guard fell straight onto the ground; his head covered in blood.
Robot attacking a human?
How is that possible?
The security captain was shocked by the scene. When he saw the blood dripping from his colleague’s forehead, his eyes suddenly became red, and he pulled out the electric baton on his waist and was about to hit.
However, the moment he pulled out the electric baton, it was too late.
The black gun muzzle had been aimed at him.
Boom!
Chester squeezed the trigger indifferently. He first shot the security captain to death before shooting the other security guard closest to him.
In Pan-Asian Cooperation cities, it was rare to see such situations where real guns were used directly.
The previously arrogant security guards began to scatter away, as well as the guests who were rushing to the door. However, Chester fired a few more bullets towards the door. The security guards fell on the ground one by one.
The security guard who had been hit by the robot with a wine bottle woke up in a daze.
He heard the screams around him, and when he saw his colleague lying next to him and the gun pointed at him, he was shocked.
His eyes gradually became desperate. Chester’s mouth evoked a cruel and crazy smile.
“I gave you a chance...”
He squeezed the trigger, like killing an ant.
Another life was taken by a crisp bang.
Chester glanced at the trembling bartender lying behind the bar. He grinned mockingly before putting the pistol away.
He glanced at the robot next to him and said, “I don’t need your little toys.
“I have my own plans on revenge.”
He took out a black metal cylinder the size of a can from his arm and gently placed it on the table beside him. Under the horrified gazes of the surrounding guests and the bar staff, he slowly walked towards the door...
