Chapter 454 - 452: Lost Bar
After getting off the plane, it was already past five o’clock. Chen Tianlong had just turned on his phone when he saw a text message.
"You’ve arrived, right? If you want your sister’s safety, please do as we instruct. In Capital City, there’s a bar called Mistress Bar. Your task is to find it, then defeat the Black Boxing King inside. Win the prize money. After you obtain the prize money, we’ll arrange another meeting location...."
Chen Tianlong finished reading, frowning. Just who are these people? They made him come all the way here just to get prize money? Why didn’t they just tell me how much they wanted? I could have brought it directly!
Just as he was feeling conflicted, another text message arrived. Chen Tianlong hurriedly opened it, and it read: "You must be very confused, but the prize money includes something you want to know."
"Damn, so they just want to play me!"
Chen Tianlong finally understood. They were playing games with him, just like a treasure hunt.
But there was no choice. Since he had a weakness they could exploit, he had to grit his teeth and complete the task. After thinking for a bit, Chen Tianlong sent a text back: "Better keep your word, or you know the consequences will be severe."
After pressing send, Chen Tianlong opened the GPS on his phone and quickly found the location of Mistress Bar. The plan was officially underway.
As night began to fall, people who had been hustling for money all day started living a different lifestyle, searching for all sorts of new excitements in the glittering metropolis.
LOST Hotel is one of the most famous hotels in this city of desires. People who come here like to call it "August Affair".
Mistress Bar is located on the basement level of the hotel, where the lights are flashing. The two words "Mistress" alone are enough to captivate people.
Chen Tianlong was sitting in a corner, quietly drinking a glass of strong whiskey, his eyes occasionally sweeping towards the front.
Because this bar is different from others. In its center, there’s a ring where an intense underground black boxing match is currently taking place.
The fights here occur only once a week, not every day. And every fight, beneath the high platform, several notable figures always sit on a row of high-end sofas.
The bar’s champion, Wu Di, remains unbeatable. Every challenger who steps onto the stage is knocked down within two minutes. Either bones are shattered, or blood covers the floor, with their fate unknown.
These boxing matches are beyond the law, surpassing life and death.
Because every fighter who steps into the ring must sign a life and death contract with the bar, and the ultimate victor can earn two million in prize money.
As for the loser, they might meet their end or become lifelong cripples.
Tonight, Chen Tianlong was there to defeat Wu Di and claim the prize money.
"Is there anyone else who wants to die? Come on up!"
Wu Di shouted coldly, his voice like a thunderclap echoing around.
His gaze then swept over the crowd with a hint of bloodlust, sending shivers down the spines of some timid individuals when caught in his blade-like glare.
Only a group of young women watching the commotion cheered excitedly.
Seeing no one else step forward, Chen Tianlong finally rose to his feet.
It’s time!
He took the last glass of whiskey from the table, intending to down it in one go before stepping onto the stage to claim the two million prize.
This was Chen Tianlong’s mission for this trip.
At this moment, a group of young ladies walked by, each wearing high-waisted skirts with long legs wrapped in various colored stockings, an eye-catching sight all around.
They all held wine glasses, apparently thinking no one would go on stage, so they gathered to drink and get drunk.
"Ladies, care for a drink?"
Seeing the attractive women, Chen Tianlong walked over, thinking of having the last drink with them.
Chen Tianlong’s voice caught the attention of the dressed-to-impress young women, who turned toward him, momentarily stunned.
However, when they saw Chen Tianlong’s simple white shirt and slightly faded jeans, these beauties immediately lost interest.
The fabric was ordinary, the jeans were so old they were fading, and there was no car key on his waist—clearly, this guy was just a poor guy.
From the women’s perspective, while a height of 175 cm wasn’t exceptionally tall, underneath the slightly tight white shirt, firm, toned muscle lines showed through.
The guy’s physique was solid, and his face somewhat handsome.
But in this world, faces don’t withdraw money from ATMs, especially not in the hearts of these women, who lingered in bars for years gathering any goodwill.
"Shoo, get lost, poor guy, who wants to drink with you?"
"Exactly, a toad lusting after swan meat. Don’t think we don’t know what you’re after; hitting on girls takes some capital."
"If you want to drink, drink yourself silly, just don’t bother us sisters."
...
These women were bold and uninhibited. Upon seeing Chen Tianlong was just a poor guy, they instantly threw condescending looks and mocked him relentlessly, not hiding their disdain.
Chen Tianlong shook his head, sighed, having no interest in these worldly women, so he picked up the whiskey before him, ready to drink.
"Are you going to enter the ring?"
Suddenly, a young girl wearing a bar staff uniform timidly walked over, looked around at the crowd, and softly asked.
Chen Tianlong carefully examined the newcomer. The girl was very beautiful, looking about seventeen or eighteen, with a sexy, curvy figure.
Her long black hair draped over her shoulders, and beneath her delicate oval face and high-bridged nose was a cute pink cherry-like mouth, all lending her a touch of classical beauty.
"Yes, is there a problem?"
Seeing the girl looked unfamiliar but had voluntarily approached him, Chen Tianlong was somewhat curious.
"You... you shouldn’t go; you can’t win... "
At this point, the girl deliberately moved her mouth to Chen Tianlong’s ear and said, "They say this guy has been doping; you can’t hurt him... I’m telling you this, but don’t tell anyone, or I’ll be beaten to death."
After hearing that, Chen Tianlong frowned, never expecting the bar to be so deceitful. But it was clear they were using the two million to lure challengers.
This was black boxing, not legit boxing, enter at your own risk, nobody was forcing you.
"I must get up there!"
"Seeing you being looked down upon, I’m just offering a kind reminder, take it or leave it."
"Heh heh, are you angry, pretty girl? How about this, let’s make a bet. If I win, you become my girlfriend and I’ll give you half the prize money, how about it?"
Seeing such a pretty girl, Chen Tianlong deliberately teased her a bit. After all, he was here to save his sister, and he and this girl were just passing acquaintances. A little flirtation didn’t matter.
"Oh, keep your life safe first, and then you talk about giving me prize money?!"
The girl clearly had little hope, even though Chen Tianlong’s offer was tempting. She needed money urgently, or she wouldn’t have worked in such a place over the weekend.
This was a place where one could be assaulted at any time; after all, the bar was a mixed environment, and if something happened, no one would care.
"Hehe, then I’ll take it as you agreeing."
Before the girl could reply, Chen Tianlong downed his drink and turned, ready to step onto the stage.
But just at that moment, from the bar’s entrance, a snow-white leg extended elegantly, with red high heels landing on the bar floor in the most graceful manner.
