Chapter 1347: Is It a Trap?

The burly man who caught that glare immediately got anxious!
"See? See? I told you! This witch's mouth is blessed!"
"What ability is that?"
The brother beside him was stunned.
Σ(゚д゚) "I swear~ this, this is a coincidence, right?"
"What are you standing there for? Go fix the speakers!"

At this moment, Jiang Tianqing, who had become the center of attention, wasn't panicked but rather a little excited!
This Word Spirit stuff is just too awesome, right?
Seeing everyone staring at her, Jiang Tianqing put on a cold face: "What are you all looking at? I'm the Huaxia Tianqing War God! Haven't you seen me before?"

The big shots on the booth seats glanced at Jiang Tianqing but didn't pay much attention, thinking it was just a coincidence.
Xia Yao's big eyes rolled around nonstop.
(๑◔~◔ิ๑) "Something's off, something's off!"
So she increased the distance to five meters.

Katerina looked at Jiang Tianqing with shock. She clearly hadn't sensed any spiritual energy fluctuations, so how did the speakers explode?
"You... what ability is that?"

Jiangnan waved his hand dismissively.
(︶.̮︶✽)۶ "Ah, it's just a bit of mysticism. Coincidence, all coincidence. No need to mind."

Katerina swallowed and became wary.
"Weren't we supposed to make contact? How do we do it?"

Jiangnan grinned and went straight to the booth at the bar counter.
He raised a hand and called out: "Waiter~ 10 Depth Charges, one Bloody Mary, make them strong!"
This was the contact code.

The bartender was startled and quickly walked behind the bar.
Before long, a lean man wearing a floral shirt, a thick gold chain, a small watch, and a goatee came out. He glanced at Jiang Tianqing.
Jiang Tianqing raised a hand in greeting.
The goatee man leaned down and said something to the bartender, who quickly left.

Katerina whispered: "Goat Ivan of the Scavenger Alliance. He's opened quite a few bars in Blood Capital, has some influence."
Jiangnan nodded. Anyone who could open a bar in a place like Blood Capital had some skill.

Goat Ivan smiled and came over.
(๑՞෴՞) "Honored guests? I'll have to make this round myself to show my sincerity."
As he spoke, he took a row of glasses from the liquor cabinet and started mixing drinks.
"But this round costs a total of one million dollars. Shouldn't you pay first?"

Jiangnan sneered. Cautious enough. They even ask for a deposit? Haven't even met the person yet, and they want money first? Trying to test if we're serious about buying? Interesting.

But as time ticked by, Katerina and Jiang Tianqing both leaned on the bar without moving.
(¬~¬)(¬⌓¬)
Jiangnan couldn't help it and shot Katerina a look.
(∗ᵒ̶̶̷̀~˂̶́)✧
Katerina: ???
(¬д¬) "What are you looking at me for? Aren't we making contact? Pay up?"

Jiangnan was taken aback.
(′◔~◔`) "This is your turf. Why should I spend money when I come to your turf?"
Although expenses might be reimbursed by the academy, these places definitely wouldn't issue receipts. He absolutely couldn't waste money on this.

Katerina glared.
(งᵒ̌⌓ᵒ̌)ง "Pfft! You're the one making contact. Why should I pay? Isn't it supposed to be on you?"

Goat Ivan watched the two bickering and twitched his mouth. "With the two of you like this, you can't even pay a million. Do you really have the means to buy the goods?"

Jiangnan grew anxious:
(。・ˇ⌂ˇ・) "Let me pay? That's just wishful thinking on your part! I'm absolutely not paying. I have no money!"

Katerina was about to speak, but the next second, a transparent snot bubble blew out from under her nose! It blew up to the size of an apple! The words she was about to say got stuck.
(⌯꒪꒫꒪)◯...
Katerina stared blankly at the big snot bubble she had blown from her wishful thinking...
Jiangnan was also shocked, then bit his lower lip and shook all over.
(。థ⥎థ)!!!
Goat Ivan nearly choked on his smoke, crouched under the bar, pounded the table, and coughed violently.
At the bar, a row of drinking men all spat out their drinks, giving the bartender a shower.
Xia Yao: (´థжథ) Pfft~
Zhong Yingxue held back her laughter, struggling not to let it out, feeling like she was suffocating.
(ノ)⥎(ヾ)...
No! Can't laugh. Katerina needs to save face! But she really couldn't hold it in. Who could stand seeing a beautiful blonde blow out a huge snot bubble?

Katerina's eyes widened, her face reddening to the point of steaming.
[Rage from Katerina +1001!]
[Rage from Katerina...]
(ꐦ°᷄⌓°᷅) "Luo Tianqing! Are you doing this on purpose? I'll strangle you!"

Katerina popped the snot bubble and wiped it on Jiang Tianqing's body, then grabbed his neck and shook him violently.
Nothing is more socially dead than this, okay? The Golden Viper blew a snot bubble while drinking? How is this girl supposed to make it in the underworld? Damn it!

Jiangnan rolled his eyes from being choked.
(*꒪ัཀ꒪ั*) "I... I really didn't mean to! I forgot about this!"
Jiangnan finally understood why the Word Spirit gum lasted 24 hours! Because you always have to speak, and some words slip out without thinking! Language habits aren't so easy to change. Who knew Katerina would actually blow a snot bubble from her wishful thinking!

Goat Ivan looked at Katerina with a strange expression.
(〃՞෴՞)ノ "The cost for the drinks..."

Katerina grumpily pulled out a card and slapped it on the table.
(¬⌓¬)つ✉ "Charge it to mine!"
Ivan was satisfied. "Good. I've already sent for the person. But I made these drinks already. Shouldn't you drink them to show sincerity?"
As he spoke, he flicked his finger, and a row of small glasses fell like dominoes into the large glasses. Then he pushed over a Bloody Mary.

Jiangnan snorted. Quite a lot of rules. He was about to use the 'Submarine Drain Technique' to get rid of the drinks. Who knew if the drinks were spiked?
Just as he was about to drink, Katerina slapped Jiangnan's hand away.
"Get out of the way! I spent the money, I'll drink it myself."
As she spoke, Katerina downed the Bloody Mary and ten Depth Charges one by one, turning the glasses upside down on the table. Only her pretty face flushed slightly.
Jiangnan's scalp tingled. These were all high-proof spirits, the kind that ignite with a lighter. The beauty's tolerance was impressive, huh?

Goat Ivan grinned. "Generous! The person will arrive soon. Please wait in the booth?"
With that, he left, and Jiangnan's group sat down in the booth.

Jiangnan raised an eyebrow.
(๑◔Д◔ิ๑) "You really drank it? Aren't you afraid it's poisoned?"
Katerina: !!!
(ꐦఠ⌓ఠ)و "Shut up! You jinx! Annoying!"
"What if it's poisoned? No poison is stronger than mine. You think I'm called the Viper for nothing?"
Jiangnan chuckled. The beauty had considered it after all. She wouldn't let him drink because she was afraid he'd get poisoned?
"But compared to that, you should worry more about whether we can get out of this bar later."

As she spoke, Katerina glanced at the various entrances of the bar. Sure enough, all the exits were guarded by people who looked like customers, but the constant glances in their direction proved they were in disguise. Probably Goat Ivan's men.

Jiangnan propped his legs on the table, looking carefree.
(*︶_︶) "Heh, who cares? We'll deal with whatever comes."
"Keep the music playing, keep dancing~"
No sooner had he spoken than the previously quiet bar erupted with blasting music. The scantily clad ladies started partying again.
Katerina looked at Jiang Tianqing in shock. This Tianqing War God must be a jinx!

However, after less than ten minutes, another group entered the bar. Leading them was the bartender who had been sent out. Behind him followed a young man draped in a mink fur coat, hands in pockets, wearing a silver cross necklace. His features were remarkably handsome, his wine-red hair slicked back like an irritable lion, extremely conspicuous. His level was actually Starlight four! Behind him were about a hundred people, all carrying large-caliber weapons.

As soon as they entered, the whole bar fell silent. Everyone who saw the red-haired man weakened in presence, fear in their eyes.

The red-haired man scanned the room, his gaze locking onto Jiang Tianqing. He pulled out a cigarette, casually lit it with his fingers, took a deep drag, and strode toward Jiangnan's booth.

Katerina's pupils contracted, her expression turning extremely grim. "This is bad! It's a trap!"
"The third-in-command of the Aka Organization, Gevas! International codename: Gas Tank!"
"Pull back quickly! Or else..."
As she spoke, she was about to stand, but Jiangnan grabbed her and pulled her back down.
Jiangnan grinned.
(๑¯ิ⌓¯ิ) "Why be scared? Just a little Starlight, that's all. Don't panic!"
Katerina: ??? Where the hell does your confidence come from? If I remember correctly, you're only Diamond, right? Our group probably can't even handle a single hand from him. And you call him a little Starlight? You sure dare to say that?

Gevas came straight to the booth, raised his foot, and kicked the sofa blocking the way.
"Boom!"
The sofa was flipped up, spun, and slammed into the wall. Glass shards flew everywhere.

At this moment, Zhong Yingxue, Xia Yao, and the others darkened their expressions, all ready for battle. Katerina flicked her crimson snake tongue, her Diamond six aura fully revealed.

Gevas sneered and exhaled a puff of smoke.
(ꐦ°᷄3°᷅)⋋︴ "Pretty arrogant, huh? You dare sit and talk to me like this when I arrive? What? Don't you know me? Just a Diamond little girl? Don't know who's the boss?"

Jiang Tianqing puffed out her chest and glared.
ᥬ(ꐦ・᷅O・᷄) "What did you say? Where am I small? You're full of crap!"

Gevas was taken aback. Damn? Daring to talk to me like that? Quite fiery. I like wild horses that gallop on the battlefield!

He was about to speak, but the next moment, his body suddenly stiffened. A loud "Pffft~" sound erupted! An extreme blast of wind shot out from Gevas's rear. This fart was so fierce that it blew off the mink fur coat draped over his shoulders! A white mist turned into a strong wind, ferociously blasting out.
(꒪_꒪‧̣̥̇)=З=З=З...
It even knocked over the stool behind him, and his bulging suit pants fluttered noisily from Gevas's wind. The entire place fell silent, everyone stared wide-eyed at Gevas. And Gevas's left hand holding the cigarette froze in midair...
