Chapter 843 860: Gentle Assassin
The bar's sign was bright, and the neon lights continuously flashed, but it didn't have the chaotic feeling of indulgence you might find inland. It seemed more suitable for couples to relax together, and that wasn't just Lin Mu's intuition; it came from watching couples come in and out of the bar!"Hmph, all you know is pretty girls!" Sophie playfully punched Lin Mu. Without her queenly aura, Sophie seemed a bit like a young girl, which Lin Mu found very endearing.
"Come on, let's go in and have some fun, relax a bit." Lin Mu grinned.
"Okay!"
Lin Mu took Sophie's hand and walked inside.
Inside, the passionate music wasn't deafening. It was a very ordinary yet uniquely characterized bar. There was a resident singer on the stage, and men and women swayed on the dance floor, while others gathered in small groups around tables, drinking, chatting, and playing games—but unlike inland bars, it lacked the chaotic atmosphere and was quite elegant!
Lin Mu and Sophie found a place to sit down!
"What would you two like to order?" A girl in bar staff attire came over to ask.
"Two dry beers, please!" Sophie said.
"Alright, please wait!" The waitress nodded and then turned away.
Sitting across from Sophie, Lin Mu couldn't stop staring at the waitress's back. This man dared to ogle another girl's butt right in front of Queen Sophie; it seemed like he was looking for trouble!
But at that moment, Lin Mu's well-honed Seventh Sense began to kick in. A faint blue glow appeared in his eyes, piercing through the waitress's back straight to her chest, revealing a different scene, which genuinely shocked him.
"What are you looking at?" Sophie punched Lin Mu and asked.
"Ah, nothing." Lin Mu snapped back and quickly replied.
"Nothing? You've been staring at the waitresses' backs, even turning your gaze as they walked away, truly shameless!" Sophie rolled her eyes at him and cursed angrily.
"Uh... no, I feel something's off about this waitress. Not just her, all the waitresses here seem a bit strange." Lin Mu looked around at the servers tending to the guests.
"What's off?" Sophie asked, puzzled.
"Big chest!"
"Ugh..." Sophie was almost at her wit's end; this guy never thinks before he speaks.
Lin Mu noticed the look in Sophie's eyes and quickly reacted, "Uh... don't get me wrong, what I mean is there's something strange about the girls' **** here!"
"..." Sophie's gaze turned murderous.
"Uh... no, what I really mean is that these waitresses have weapons hidden in their ****!" Lin Mu quickly explained.
"Shameless!" Sophie's face flushed red, evidently misunderstanding Lin Mu's mention of "weapons" as something men usually fancy!
"Geez, girl, can you not look at me like that? These waitresses aren't ordinary; they've got skills!" Lin Mu wiped his sweat. This time, he finally made himself clear.
Sophie frowned, quickly becoming vigilant, "So, you're saying..."
"Exactly!" Although Sophie didn't finish her sentence, she nodded with understanding. "These waitresses may look sweet and gentle, but they're skilled, and there's an aura of violence about them. Of course, this aura isn't directed at us; it's naturally developed over years of killing. I suspect these waitresses are assassins!"
Assassins posing as bar waitresses; indeed, it was quite unusual!
"Heh, don't worry about it. They don't even know us; just enjoy your drink," Lin Mu reassured Sophie when he noticed her concern.
Such forms of Assassin Organizations aren't uncommon, especially in an international metropolis like Xiang Island, where strange things are abundant. As the saying goes, when the forest is big, you'll see all kinds of birds. These people usually conceal themselves as waitresses and transform into assassins when required, or they're hired for other secretive tasks!
They work for money, but they're all women. Lin Mu's eyes sparkled, estimating these women's chests, not small by any means! Indeed, female assassins like these could be quite efficient killers, knowing well that big assets are a deadly weapon to any man!
Sophie nodded, relaxing a bit, realizing that on her rare visit to a bar, she stumbled upon the Women's Assassin Squad's bar. Of course, they were a legitimate business, and killing was just a secondary survival strategy for them, only revealed by Lin Mu's remarkable Seventh Sense!
To the ordinary eye, they were just regular female servers, albeit attractive ones, indistinguishable from other bar girls!
Soon, the waitress returned with two glasses of dry beer on the table, saying, "Enjoy!"
Then she left to attend to other guests. Listening to the energetic songs and sipping on drinks, it indeed eased work pressure and relaxed tense nerves.
But in such a place, which is still an entertainment venue, it's inevitable that a few flies will buzz over to spoil the mood, especially with Sophie, a stunning beauty with superior elegance, drawing attention from the moment they walked in, Lin Mu noticed several flies continually scanning in their direction.
There were many women here, and many were beautiful, but only Sophie stood out as extraordinarily beautiful and elegantly poised. To these guys who were used to nightclub girls, spotting a beauty like her was like seeing a fairy descending from heaven, with one problem: the unpleasant man sitting beside her.
In Xiang Island, the Triad culture thrived, and robbers who snatch up girls weren't uncommon. As long as they had strength, they didn't care who the girl belonged to; they'd dare to take her away. So, Xiang Island was a place where strength gave voice, otherwise, you'd better find a cooler spot to rest!
"Hey, pretty lady, our boss would like to invite you for a few drinks, wondering if it's convenient for you?" A cocky Lanzai walked over, teasingly asking Sophie, but his tone carried an air of command.
Sophie subtly glanced at Lin Mu, then looked at Lanzai in front of her, smiled, dazzling the guy almost to swoon. Such a bright and enchanting smile, he'd never encountered in his twenty-something years!
Before meeting this beauty, I was wasting my life!
Seeing Sophie's expression, Lanzai felt pleased, thinking there was a chance! Maybe after the boss had his fill, he could have a go too! No rush, he'd like to go first, but he had to wait for the boss's satisfaction before taking action.
"Where's your boss?" Sophie asked gracefully.
