Chapter 254: Sue me?

The corridor is dark, with dim lights on both sides.

The wall at the corner was spattered with Sanyu's blood, as was the carpet.

The warm blood penetrated deeply into the carpet, and the dark red carpet became more bloody, as if it had been dyed again.

The man stood at the door with indifferent eyes. He didn't pay attention to Yiyi, the store manager of the branch, and said calmly: "Rules? You and I are both sensible people, so don't talk about rules."

"Are the rules of the tavern nothing to you?"

Yiyi was obviously angry. The seriously injured Sanyu in front of him reminded him of his still demented apprentice Yimo.

When he thought of Yi Mo's demented appearance, his heart ached.

He supported San Yu, looked at the man with a stern face, and said word by word: "It was the first time I hurt my apprentice, the second time I hurt Shen Yu, and the third time I hurt San Yu. It can only happen three times, I will Report this to headquarters!"

"Huh? Report to the headquarters?"

The man smiled lightly, his expression still so indifferent, and he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

He waved his hand casually and threw out a black card. The card spun rapidly in the air, like a sharp blade, and stuck straight into the wall of the corridor beside Yiyi.

On that card was written the phone number of the headquarters.

This is a very direct mockery.

His meaning was very obvious, asking Yi Yi to report quickly, and he just stood here waiting.

"Over at the headquarters, the director of the department that handles reporting matters for each branch is named Fan Lu." He looked at Yi Yi and said, "That's me, what do you want to report to me?"

"you……"

Anger rose in Yi Yi's chest and he clenched his fists. He didn't expect this man to be so shameless.

He had been staying in Coral City for many years and had never returned to the headquarters. He never thought that the head of that department had actually been replaced. This person's name was clearly not on the documents and messages sent before.

The long-term marginalization has derailed him and the headquarters, and many information are not well-informed.

But Yiyi knew that the hunting of masked monsters should be done by the following members.

Fan Lu already holds a high position and is a member of the core layer of the tavern. He does not need the prestige brought by hunting masked weirdos, but he actually ran from the headquarters in person to the branch in this small city in the southwest. Be powerful and blessed.

Since he doesn't need prestige, does he need the hundreds of millions in bounty?

It's probably not necessary.

With his status, there are many ways to make money.

He doesn't even need to make money himself. Someone will think of ways to give him money. He just needs to think of how to refuse.

Yi Yi suddenly thought that among the investigation team from the headquarters, there was a young man with similar facial features to Fan Lu, and he might be his descendant.

This is to support future generations!

The feat of hunting down masked monsters is enough for his descendants to be trained by the tavern in the next few years and quickly promoted to the core level of the tavern.

"Just for your descendants?" Yi Yi suppressed his anger and looked directly at Fan Lu, "Fake public benefit for personal gain! Sooner or later, the reputation of the tavern will be defeated by insects like you!"

"how?"

Fan Lu smiled and responded: "How do you think you and Xue Lie got the position of store manager? At that time, your two brothers were still junior and had not yet become level 4 creatures. Xue Lie had just become the store manager a few months ago. As a fourth-level creature, if it weren’t for your master’s sake, would the shopkeepers in these two cities get the two of you in turn?”

As he spoke, he stretched out his finger, pointed at the ground, and sneered: "Do you know where this place is? This is Coral City, which is the most important city in the southwest region of the Machine Tribe. With your strength and qualifications at the time, Why were you sent here?"

"you……"

Yiyi didn't know how to respond to these words.

The rules for dispatching branch owners at Zero Point Tavern are actually similar to those of the Machine Tribe.

Every branch owner in a small city must have certain qualifications, and his strength must reach level four or above, otherwise he will not be able to control his subordinates.

This rule is not written down in writing, but everyone knows it.

Over the years, there have been few exceptions.

The two brothers Yi Yi and Xue Lie were an exception.

At that time, both of them were third-level creatures, but they both became shopkeepers, and one of the cities was Coral City.

At that time, neither of them thought much about it. After all, the southwest region had always been barren and had few resources. It was not a wealthy region in the southeast. The shopkeepers sent there were basically weak. Neither of them thought that their master was operating in it.

"Wherever there are people, there are people and sophistication." Fan Lu said coldly, "Think about it carefully. You have enjoyed the blessings here for so many years. You can't learn anything at all."

After he finished speaking, a flash of blue light suddenly flashed in his cold eyes, which was so blue that it seemed to be staring from the depths of his soul.

Yi Yi, who looked at him, couldn't react in time. He grunted and took half a step back as if he had been hit hard. His vision went dark for a moment.

He immediately activated his psychic shield and entered a defensive state.

But when he saw clearly again, Fan Lu had already walked back to the room and even closed the door, leaving only an empty and dark corridor for Yi Yi. The contempt was self-evident.

At that moment, if he had wanted to take action, Yiyi and Sanyu would have been dead.

"Boss Yi, are you okay?" Sanyu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked him hurriedly.

"It's okay...this bastard..."

Yi Yi shook his head, suppressed his anger, took a deep look at the room, and said, "Let's go back first."

The momentary power that gave him a headache and dizziness just now was the Soul Capturing skill.

However, when interrogating Shen Yu and others, Fan Lu focused on intimidation and control, but when dealing with level four creatures like Yi Yi, Fan Lu focused on attacking.

He used this strange power very skillfully.

Yiyi supported Sanyu and walked slowly to the elevator entrance, swiped his card to open the elevator, and went all the way up.

The underground world of the tavern is very quiet, and there is no one else. Normally, members of the North Wind Story Club would not be eligible to come underground, but these are extraordinary times.

When Yiyi sent Sanyu back to the room where the North Wind Story Club was, many members in the room exclaimed.

"Boss Chang, which bastard beat you like this?"

"President, are you okay?"

"Brother Chang, lie down quickly and drink two healing potions first..."

"..."

Sanyu looked really miserable.

Normally, he has always been a handsome and patient big brother. He was the strongest in the story gathering and rarely suffered any injuries.

In the southwest region, except for one or two level 4 creatures in each city, Sanyu's level 3.6 psychic power is already a top master.

But today, his chest collapsed, he was covered in blood, his left hand was broken, he was coughing up blood constantly, and he was taking in more air than coming out. He looked like he was going to die soon.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have fainted long ago from such an injury.

"Quick, take out all the healing potions."

Zhu Lu, who was always calm, was a little panicked. He was hurriedly carrying the medicine box and took out a lot of healing medicines. Regardless of whether they were useful or not, he poured them all into Sanyu.

Sanyu lay on the sofa, waved his hands helplessly and said, "It's okay, I won't die yet, what does this small injury mean?"

"Is this a minor injury? The broken ribs are pierced into the lungs!" Zhu Lu took a deep breath, stared at him and said, "Brother Chang, you can't fall down now, brothers need you."

Sanyu nodded: "I know, don't worry."

Zhu Lu asked: "Did those bastards over at the headquarters do it?"

"yes."

"Damn it, no action is allowed inside the tavern. They came after Mask for this reason." Zhu Lu gritted his teeth and said, "Now he almost beat you to death, what does that mean? If Boss Yi hadn't discovered it, your injuries would have never survived.

It won’t be long!”

"Yeah!" Yang Liang next to him was angry and punched the table, "Why? Just because people from his headquarters have privileges?"

"Boss Yi, this matter must be reported to the headquarters."

Yuan Hua was furious, gritted his teeth, and begged Yi Yi: "They have done this to death. The headquarters cannot ignore this matter!"

During this period of time, all the registered members of the Coral City branch were holding back their emotions. Everyone was living with their hands tied. Su Xia had already noticed it when she came to the tavern just now. The depressive atmosphere was almost suffocating.

Many members have been interrogated by the headquarters investigation team, and those from the North Wind Story Club have been targeted the most severely.

They were suffocating in their hearts. Something happened to Yi Mo and Shen Yu, which almost caused them to explode. However, they still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that the investigation team could give an explanation and cure the two of them.

Today, Sanyu went to ask for an explanation, but was beaten like this.

Everyone couldn't bear it any longer, their anger surged, and they all looked at Yi Yi.

"Boss Yi, what are you waiting for?" Yuan Hua looked ugly and pointed to the cubicle, "Ah Mo is like this, how can you still bear it?"

"Boss Yi, call the headquarters!"

"They've gone too far. The headquarters can't let them do whatever they want!"

"..."

The headquarters, in the hearts of most members, is still a place that upholds beliefs such as "freedom" and "fairness."
