This is the Hunter’s Bar

Chapter 81 • 2,130 words • 18 min read

Why would a bar in the South District receive power from the crystal nucleus thermal power station, a supply normally reserved for First Ring buildings?

There were two reasons for this.

It was widely known that Hunter’s Bar was a favorite haunt of the Wei family’s third son, Wei Chengyuan.

He loved the atmosphere.

Of the two major families in Su City, the Wei family was the public face, controlling almost all economic aspects, while the Yue family was the hidden power, managing various violent organizations for a long time.

After the apocalypse broke out, the public and hidden forces assisted each other, creating the miraculous city of Su City.

The Wei family adjusted the economic model and planned the various institutions of Su City, while the Yue family provided corresponding military support, allowing Su City to maintain order.

It could be said that Su City was the creation of the Yue and Wei families.

Hunter’s Bar being favored by Wei Chengyuan meant it was favored by the Wei family.

For a power like the Wei family, supplying electricity was just a matter of a word from Wei Chengyuan, especially since he loved this bar so much.

Naturally, Wei Chengyuan would also frequent this bar.

Compared to the high-end gatherings of the upper class, this somewhat rebellious third son preferred the young and wild atmosphere of a bar.

In such an atmosphere, interesting things often happened.

For example, today he encountered a very interesting event.

A pure healer had, in an instant, cut off the four arms of two of his men, and the reason she did so was to protect an ordinary person.

The Wei family’s third son looked at the two crying lackeys before him, feeling an inexplicable sense of disgust.

Two combat-type Awakened had their arms cut off by a healing-type Awakened, and they had the gall to come and complain.

But even so, Wei Chengyuan had to “uphold justice” for them.

In Su City, the Awakened were justice.

Harming an Awakened for an ordinary person touched upon the fundamental principles of Su City.

“Go, tell her who she’s provoked, and then bring her over,” Wei Chengyuan put down his glass and ordered a large man sitting beside him.

“You two, find your hands. You should still be able to reattach them. And stop the bleeding yourselves first. Oh, right, you don’t have hands now,” Wei Chengyuan scratched his scalp and called two more people over to treat their injuries.

Awakened were a very precious asset.

On this point, the military and Su City shared a common understanding.

Wei Chengyuan took a sip from his glass and casually glanced in Ren Anhua’s direction.

This glance made him spray out all the liquor in his mouth.

“What the hell!?” Wei Chengyuan was a well-mannered person.

He rarely swore, unless he really couldn’t help it.

Ren Anhua was now standing on a table, one foot on the giant man’s arm.

Normally, with her weight, she shouldn’t be able to hold down this giant who was three times her height, but a careful observer would notice that the giant’s arm was not being pressed onto the table by her foot, but was pinned to it by a dagger.

The reason she was standing on the table was merely to find a better angle for exerting force.

Ren Anhua placed the watermelon knife she held on the giant’s right shoulder.

This knife had been with her for a long time, and its blade was covered with nicks of various sizes.

It was less a watermelon knife and more a one-handed saw.

Only with Ren Anhua’s skilled and swift slashes could this notched watermelon knife produce a sharp edge.

However, she didn’t want to cut people like that now.

Perhaps she felt that cutting people that way was too quick and lacked deterrent force, to the point that after cutting down the small fry, some clueless person would send over a big fry.

So she planned to use this thing that was more a saw than a knife to saw off this person’s hand, to make these people clearly realize that the four arms over there were cut off by her, Ren Anhua, and didn’t just fall off on their own.

Ren Anhua placed the knife under the man’s armpit, one foot on the table and one on his arm, her posture as natural as if she were doing woodwork.

This brute was truly tall; who knew what he ate to grow like that.

If she hadn’t knocked him out beforehand, it would have been difficult for Ren Anhua to get to work.

“Stop.”

A voice seemed to come from her side, but Ren Anhua paid it no mind.

She, Ren Anhua, was a person of her word.

If she said she would saw off someone’s hand, she would saw it off, and she would absolutely not go back on her word at the last minute.

A push and a pull, and blood and flesh flew.

“I said, stop!”

An unexpected blunt impact on her side sent Ren Anhua flying.

‘A fist,’ Ren Anhua thought while in mid-air.

‘But why was there no warning at all?’

Her small body, under the impact of the great force, crashed onto a nearby sofa.

The sound of solid wood breaking was quite clear; obviously, this blow was not light at all.

But no matter what, being injured was no longer a trouble for Ren Anhua.

Although she felt like a few of her ribs had broken, they had already recovered by the time she landed.

“Ugh… oof…” Ren Anhua rubbed her side, feeling that there was no problem anymore, and then stood up, leaning on her knife.

She saw a person walking toward her.

It was a man dressed in high-end, mature clothes, but he looked very young.

Ren Anhua estimated that he was probably not even twenty.

This should be the owner of that blow just now, but the problem was that his position was about ten meters away from her.

If you counted the distance he had just walked, this person should have been about twenty meters away from her when she was hit by that punch.

How did he hit her?

Rubber man?

But no matter what, she couldn’t just do nothing after being hit, especially against a young punk who was so arrogant just because he had some abilities.

She had to teach him a lesson.

Ren Anhua sensed it.

An Awakened in a combat state could not hide their energy flow.

That last strike had already put Wei Chengyuan in a combat state, and Ren Anhua could clearly feel his rank.

Third-tier, advanced.

He had something, at least enough to hurt her.

Although Ren Anhua didn’t know how he had hit her, as long as he wasn’t fourth-tier, Ren Anhua had no need to be afraid.

In fact, even if he were fourth-tier, Ren Anhua wouldn’t be afraid.

She, Ren Anhua, had never been intimidated by anyone.

“What’s going on today? Are your hands wholesale from a factory? Why don’t you cherish them? Want to send another pair?” Ren Anhua stood up with her knife.

Establishing dominance was something that had to be done thoroughly.

Whoever was fierce, cut them down.

That was how you got good results.

This was a lesson she had learned from her experience in Pingding County.

The commotion caused by Young Master Wei was not small, and with his special status, it unsurprisingly attracted the attention of the entire bar.

At the same time, it also made Ren Anhua the center of attention.

What was worse, that last blow had already knocked her hood off.

Pink hair and star-shaped eyes, like a girl who had stepped out of a painting.

Such a ferocious-looking long-bladed girl had such a pleasing appearance, which made Wei Chengyuan dazed for a moment.

If he hadn’t already had someone in his heart, he would probably have experienced the feeling of love at first sight.

Wei Chengyuan recalled the slightly frail, sickly beauty in his mind and tried to calm his emotions.

However, this recollection brought back some other memories.

The sickly beauty Wei Chengyuan liked was named Yue Xiaolu, the future head of the Yue family, and this head of the family, who currently had little real power, had issued a missing person notice about half a month ago.

[Ren Anhua, may also call herself Bai Xiao An or Lu Xiao An. Hair color is pink, with cross-star-shaped pupils, which may sometimes turn into hearts. Small in stature, an Awakened, whose ability attribute is quite gentle.]

This missing person notice was subtly circulated only among a few people, as if they wanted to find her secretly.

At first, inspections were only conducted at the checkpoints of the four districts.

Later, the checkpoint inspectors were changed, and probably only the district chiefs and a few others remembered it.

After all, this young lady of the Yue family had little real power now.

Although her orders would be obeyed, they would not be followed too seriously, especially for someone who had been missing for half a month.

Now, the main power of the Yue family was still in the hands of Old Man Yue.

To avoid exposing her ability, Yue Xiaolu only described its nature with the word ‘gentle,’ which was the extent that the Awakened’s energy vision could identify, making it suitable as a characteristic for a missing person search.

Wei Chengyuan roughly identified it.

The ability of the pink-haired girl before him could indeed be described as gentle.

In his energy vision, she was like a soft white ball of light.

Just looking at her could make one feel healed.

But her actions did not make one feel healed at all.

In Wei Chengyuan’s opinion, this fellow was a bit too ferocious.

How on earth did she awaken such a purely gentle ability?

Wei Chengyuan checked the giant man pinned to the table.

Although he had only been scratched a little, his armpit had already been cut more than halfway through.

Just looking at it made one feel a phantom pain.

At this moment, Wei Chengyuan not only felt a phantom pain but also a surge of anger from his heart.

“Do you know what this place is! This is Su City!”

In Su City, harming an Awakened for an ordinary person, and in Su City, knowingly defying the Wei family.

Wei Chengyuan felt that this pink-haired girl needed some education.

“No, this is Hunter’s Bar,” a hand rested on Wei Chengyuan’s shoulder and patted it.

“Young Master Wei, let me handle this.”

Why would a bar in the South District receive power from the crystal nucleus thermal power station, a supply normally reserved for First Ring buildings?

There were two reasons for this.

It was widely known that one reason was that the Wei family’s third son, Wei Chengyuan, favored this rebellious place, but the world often knew one reason and not the other.

Hunter’s Bar was a property under the Yue family, and its behind-the-scenes boss was a core upper-echelon member of the Yue family, Yue Chang.

Yue Chang, a fourth-tier Awakened.

He made no attempt to hide the strength of his ability, unreservedly placing the pressure of a fourth-tier before Ren Anhua, and also before Wei Chengyuan.

“Uncle Chang, what are you doing?” Wei Chengyuan’s face grew solemn.

This Yue Chang, was he going to interfere in his, Wei Chengyuan’s, business?

“Young Master Wei, just leave it to me,” Yue Chang repeated his words.

He seemed to not have Wei Chengyuan in his eyes at all.

The Wei family had three sons.

The eldest was majestic and had the air of an emperor.

The second was brilliant in strategy and had the qualities of a counselor.

Only the third son, Wei Chengyuan, was a profligate wastrel, appearing incomparably childish and inferior in front of his two excellent elder brothers, like a pile of mud that couldn’t be plastered on a wall.

No one looked up to Wei Chengyuan, but under the radiance of the Wei family, no one dared to say a word against him, except for his elders and… the Yue family, who were on par with the Wei family.

Yue Chang was such a person who was qualified to despise Wei Chengyuan, not only in terms of seniority but also in terms of strength.

Wei Chengyuan retreated, with humiliation and anger.

He couldn’t use his status to pressure this elder named Yue Chang, nor could he use force to threaten this fourth-tier monster.

All he could do was probably tell Yue Xiaolu about seeing Ren Anhua today.

That Yue Xiaolu, who, for some reason, had been frequently visiting a certain RV lately.
