Chapter 1040: Chapter 19 Venom Bar

The Venom Bar was the most luxurious and boisterous entertainment venue in South City and also served as the second largest gang’s stronghold, the Poison Snakes. Turning onto the main road and walking for nearly a hundred meters, the crowd swelled suddenly, and all sorts of transactions were carried out brazenly under the cover of night.

A group of youths were beating up some unfortunate drunkard, while three bitches disgustingly stepped away. However, their escape was quickly interrupted by a series of rapid and piercingly familiar honks, halting their steps.

Not far away, a police car was parked, and a white policeman in blue and black uniforms popped his head out of the car window, waving at them while ignoring the brawl happening across the street.

The bitches approached the car, all sporting fake smiles. The policeman removed the cigar from his mouth, exhaled a thick plume of smoke, and then stubbed the cigarette butt out on one of the bitches’ bodies.

The bitch stood stiffly, her face twitching but daring not to move an inch. She knew that showing the slightest dissatisfaction would give the man in front of her an excuse to take her to the police station.

"Not bad!" The white policeman grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth stained with strands of steak, "Get in."

The bitch smiled bitterly inside, she was screwed.

This white policeman was named Bynum, in charge of the streets near the Venom Bar. Every bitch and shop here had been extorted by him at least three times, earning him the nickname ’Bloodsucking Maggot’.

Without daring to resist, the bitch got into the police car as quickly as possible.

"Looks like you’ve had a good haul tonight, eh?" Bynum took a drag from his cigar, looking at the other two.

"Officer, we haven’t entertained any customers yet." Before the bitch on the left could finish speaking, she let out a scream. Bynum had pressed his cigar against her thigh.

The sparks burned flesh and skin, and the bitch screamed as she fell to the ground.

"Ain’t I a customer, you damn bitch? You put out my cigar, light it up for me now," Bynum roared with a vicious look on his face.

The bitch hurriedly opened her purse, took out a lighter, and tried to relight Bynum’s cigar, but as she approached, he snatched her purse away.

"There’s money here, you bitch." Bynum began his extortion, even stepping out of the car to kick and punch them.

"Let’s get out of here fast, or that bloodsucking leech will skin us alive if he gets his eyes on us," Anna said in a panic, tugging at Tang Zheng’s arm, urging him to leave quickly and briefing him about Bynum’s evil doings.

"Man, these cops in this city are bold, that’s life!" Zhang Heng whistled, brimming with envy.

Having walked a dozen meters, Tang Zheng looked back and saw Bynum’s sinister gaze fixated on Pang Meiqin and Teng Yuangxiang’s buttocks.

"Hey, go find out about those yellow-skinned people, and tell me tomorrow." Bynum was a cautious man, otherwise, he wouldn’t have lived so carefree up until now. Of course, if he knew that those people didn’t have legal status, he would have extorted them long ago.

Tang Zheng and Dantai moved with a calm demeanor, obviously not mere riffraff. As they entered the bar’s main entrance, four bouncers with poison snake tattoos on their necks took an extra careful look at them; they couldn’t help it, their presence was too imposing, resembling that of big shots.

As soon as they stepped into the bar, they were hit by the cacophony of noises and the hot air mixed with sweat and perfume; the lighting darkened, and in its place were rays of laser lights of various colors, constantly sweeping across.

The lead blonde girl stood at a high spot, crazily twisting her body under the spotlight.

People in the dance floor below were shouting and screaming, letting out their frustrations accumulated during the day amidst the deafening dance music.

"I don’t like this place; it’s too loud!" Tang Zheng frowned, "You go gather information; I’ll take a break outside."

"Come on, seeing those bouncers’ poison snake tattoos, it seems we are in the right place. Let’s make a scene, flip this bar, and collect some funds and weapons while we’re at it," Dantai pulled at Tang Zheng, "I’ve got it all figured out; since we need to earn Sin Points, let’s start by forming a gang."

"Should we pick on a smaller target first?" Zhang Heng wasn’t scared, just worried about overreaching.

"It has to be a sure hit!" Nothing was more thrilling than controlling a few streets, and the thought of ordering bitches around made Yin Zhijian tremble with excitement.

Tang Zheng and his group found a booth in a corner, ordered some drinks, and hadn’t rested for a minute when several gaudily dressed women squeezed over.

Zhang Heng and Yin Zhijian were thrilled, eager to grab a handful.

"Get lost!" Dantai said curtly with a hostile expression, and the bitches didn’t dare to linger, quickly disappearing.

"We rarely come here, it’d be nice to relax a bit," Zhang Heng complained a bit and justified his actions, "Besides, we could also gather some information."

The four Japanese sat quietly, eyes straight ahead, not even touching the beer in front of them.

"Do you know what the Poison Snakes’ boss looks like? If we don’t kill him in one go, they will surely retaliate," Pang Meiqin didn’t drink such things, it wasn’t safe.

"Then just take revenge, it saves me the trouble of looking for them," Dantai was actually tired of this game and wanted to complete the mission and leave as soon as possible. After all, they weren’t cut out to be villains, not like Zhang Heng, who couldn’t wait to stay forever.

"Hey, want some ’Heaven’?" A sleazy-looking young man approached them, producing a bag containing a dozen blue pills and shaking it towards the group.

"Come here, I’ll take them all!" Dantai said with a smile upon spotting the Poison Snake tattoo on the youth’s neck.

The young man must have thought he had encountered a major customer. Just as he approached, Dantai kicked him in the knee, forcing him to the ground, then grabbed his hair and pressed his head against the glass table. The youth was about to call for help when a dagger was placed in his mouth.

"Do you still want your tongue?"

Listening to Dantai’s voice, which seemed demonic, the youth nodded frantically, the icy sensation making sweat bead up on his forehead.

"Introduce me to your Venom Bar boss," Dantai picked up the bag of soft drugs and placed it in front of the youth, "Don’t tell me you don’t know."

As Dantai continued the interrogation, Tang Zheng also began talking to Aihara Chiharu and Sekiya Ganta. The latter was very cautious, and other than their own topics, he kept silent about the matters of several classmates.

"Yo, Chinese friend!" A muscular short-haired American with eight compatriots walked by, saw Tang Zheng and his group, and, looking delighted, swaggered over and sat down.

Red Trojan Horse had communicated with Tang Zheng before, and as a Conqueror, Davis was naturally observant.

"Are you here to play?" Tang Zheng offered the beer, while his eyes sized up the others. Four of them were obviously soldiers – lean and strong, and even sitting down, they never stopped surveying their surroundings, while the two men and two women were newbies, with a hint of panic in their eyes.

"Anna and I came out to raise some funds, cheers!" Davis clinked his beer bottle against the one in front of Tang Zheng and downed it in one go. He was a hearty and outgoing man, "Yeah, Anna is my partner, the woman with the big chest, but she’s got quite the temper."

"Are you planning to rob this bar?" Teng Yuanxiang felt quite capable being able to communicate with the Americans.

"Yeah, Anna’s in the restroom. We’ll make our move when she gets back," Davis lied. Anna was using her abilities to steal money, and he was also secretly observing the Warhammer team. By saying this, he implied that the Chinese should back off and not interfere with their own prey.

"Tang Zheng, I’ve had too much to drink. I need to go to the restroom," Zhang Heng said, standing up and holding his stomach as if he felt uncomfortable.

"Go ahead," Tang Zheng knew what Zhang Heng wanted to do, but he didn’t stop him. He was hoping Zhang Heng would just get killed sooner.

Yin Zhijian saw Tang Zheng give his consent and also stood up.

Tang Zheng waved his hand, gesturing for him to leave.

Zhang Heng and Yin Zhijian met up in the restroom, and after exchanging glances, they finally broke into a smug smile. Away from Tang Zheng’s side, they savored the taste of freedom.

"How much money do you have on you? Hurry, we don’t have much time." Zhang Heng pulled out a stack of US dollars, which he had collected over the evening.

"It’s enough, the sluts here are cheap," Yin Zhijian licked his lips while complaining, "What a pity, it would have been great to sleep with a pure foreign girl."

"Give it up, as long as we survive, there’ll be chances," Zhang Heng took a furtive look outside, "Wait here; I’ll find one. Let’s make it quick and clean."

"I’m just worried I’ll die tomorrow," Yin Zhijian sighed. He then jumped at the sudden loud cries coming from within the toilets.

"Heh, someone’s in there," Zhang Heng signaled for silence with a gesture and walked over to a restroom stall, then into the one next door, stepping onto the toilet.

Yin Zhijian, feeling equally itch, followed him in.

"Fuck, my eyes!" It was actually a man and a transvestite, which annoyed Zhang Heng. Just as he muttered, he had the misfortune of being spotted.

Seeing the startled look of the other party, and thinking of Tang Zheng’s dominance, Zhang Heng, filled with rage, bellowed, "Mind your own damn business!"

The man became furious upon this, pushed the transvestite aside, and stepped out. Just then, Yin Zhijian ran out and kicked him in the thigh.

Yin Zhijian fell, his cheek grazing the ground, which was slick with urine and its pungent smell made him want to vomit.

The man, who had a Poison Snake tattoo, ignored Zhang Heng and grabbed Yin Zhijian by the hair, knocked his head against the ground, and then dragged him like a dead dog toward Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng attempted a counterattack, relying on his Defense armature, and swung his fist. Unfortunately, he met the Poison Snake’s top-fighter; the man flipped a butterfly knife open with his right hand and thrust it into Zhang Heng’s fist, pinning it to the wooden board.

"He’s yours now," the man said to his transvestite companion and then dragged Yin Zhijian into the stall.

"What are you doing? Stop," being able to seduce rich women, Yin Zhijian was naturally good-looking and had caught the eye of a native with a taste for men.
