Chapter 1593: Chapter 1607: Veteran Hunter

However, at this moment, Lin Mu made a move that would make gods and men alike indignant. With a full face of lecherous smiles, he reached out his claw and grabbed the soft little hand of the goddess, saying, "Beautiful lady, the stars are brilliant tonight, the moonlight is bright, why don’t we go out together, get a room at the hotel across the street, and discuss the beauty of life and ideals together?"

The bartender beauty’s eyebrows suddenly knitted. Just when the onlookers thought she would unhesitatingly slap this rogue’s big front teeth out, she suddenly laughed. Her laughter was like a hundred flowers blooming, intoxicating to the eyes, "Then what are we waiting for, let’s go!"

A wailing sound instantly erupted, with logic, morals, and fragile hearts all shattered to pieces on the ground.

Lin Mu pulled out a hundred-dollar bill from the hand of the fashionably sleazy man who was dumbfounded, waved his little hand with a smile at the crowd of onlookers, then embraced the beautiful bartender and walked out of the bar, disappearing into the crowd.

"Damn, a love saint!"

It was a long time before the fashionably sleazy man snapped back to reality, patting his forehead regretfully, he muttered to himself: "Such a master at picking up girls, I missed my chance to become his disciple, what a mistake. Oh, that’s right, weren’t they going to the hotel? I’ll go and wait there. Tomorrow morning when he comes out, I’ll find a way to ask him to be my mentor, no matter what..."

The fashionably sleazy man didn’t know he would likely turn into a fossil at the hotel and still not see his ’love saint’ mentor. Because by that time, Lin Mu and the bartender beauty had already left the bar and entered the courtyard of a nearby alley.

As it turns out, this lady wasn’t just an ordinary person but a bounty hunter from the Pearl River Delta’s underground world!

Why could Lin Mu tell she was a bounty hunter?

It turned out she wore a gold medal symbolizing a bounty hunter around her neck. This kind of gold medal was extremely rare; only by completing a tough assignment could a bounty hunter earn one.

If his assignments were completed easily, he would receive no gold medals!

"Hey, isn’t Master Lan’s office supposed to be under the bar? What are we doing here?" Lin Mu asked the woman.

"It’s a secret!" The beauty replied stiffly.

The Master Lan that Lin Mu was referring to had always appeared in Wancheng’s underworld as a contact person for bounty hunter assignments. Five years ago, when Lin Mu was also thriving in Wancheng, he had met him but didn’t have much interaction.

Lin Mu looked around and said, "Could it be you’re captivated by my handsome looks and want to offer yourself to me? But isn’t this environment a bit too, um..."

"Shut up!" The bartender beauty coldly snapped, her face frosty, "Godfather’s been unwell lately and can’t stand the humidity in the basement, so he temporarily moved here. Don’t flatter yourself too much."

"Godfather? Isn’t that just a sugar daddy? Wow, I didn’t expect Master Lan to be so trendy, even playing these tricks..."

"You..." The bartender beauty suddenly turned around, her eyes flashing with cold light, but at that moment, the wooden door creaked open, and a young man in black pushed a wheelchair out.

"Lin Mu, it’s been years since we last met, and you haven’t changed a bit, still as sarcastic and caustic as ever."

The old man in the wheelchair chuckled. His grizzled hair was meticulously groomed, his thin face covered in wrinkles, yet he looked very amiable. It’s hard to imagine that such an old man at the end of his days was in charge of all the bounty hunter affairs in the Dongguang Region, serving as the head of an organization.

"Heh, I’m still young. But Master Lan, you look more and more shriveled. What’s going on, did someone break your legs?"

Lin Mu curved his lips into a grin and sat down at the green stone round table with a great swagger. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Insolent!" The bartender beauty was furious, a snow-white wrist quivered slightly, and a three-inch dagger dropped into her hand from her sleeve.

"Xiaoqian, stop! Mr. Lin is an esteemed guest, how can you be so rude, go and make tea," the old man said sternly. He seemed familiar with Lin Mu’s actions from five years ago.

The bartender beauty Xiaoqian seemed unwilling but couldn’t go against the old man’s authority, so she reluctantly put away her weapon and walked into the room reluctantly.

"Young people act impulsively and without thinking; you’ve seen it, I’m afraid," the old man exhaled slowly, smiling as he spoke.

"Ah, those words sound loaded, weren’t you subtly scolding me?" Since Lin Mu was also a young man, he couldn’t help but ask.

"Heh, scolding you? I’m not qualified to do that."

Shaking his head, the old man got straight to the point, "Come on, tell me why you had to drag this old bag of bones out here, what exactly do you want?"

"Two things: find someone and ask something!"

Lin Mu raised two fingers, and seeing the old man nod, continued, "This afternoon, the Life-taking Ghost King appeared. I had a fight with him and got slightly injured before he managed to escape. I hope you can find him within three days."

"That’s no problem. However, I’m really curious, he’s just a second-rate assassin, how did he manage to hurt you?"

"Perhaps it was an accident, or maybe someone was giving him tips."

Lin Mu frowned slightly.

The Ghost King assassin was indeed abnormal, but he wouldn’t be moving around in a pair of iron underpants, with the reverse spikes coated with Mandala Snake Venom. Now thinking back, it’s possible that someone familiar with my fighting habits suggested this sinister trick.

The old man nodded and didn’t press further. The two fell silent for a moment until the bartender beauty brought the tea, and Lin Mu suppressed his confused thoughts. With a lewd gaze, he teased Xiaoqian, admiring her look of suppressed anger, before slowly speaking about the strange situation with Sophie.

Unconsciously, the tea had gone cold. The old man tapped the tabletop, mulling it over, "According to what you’re saying, could it be that the lady CEO suddenly developed a second personality?"

"That’s what I initially thought."

At this point, Xiaoqian sneaked away from Lin Mu’s flirty gaze and hid quietly behind the old man. Lin Mu shrugged, yawning, "But after a stormy night, I overturned that guess, after all, that power was way too strong, far beyond her physiological limits, and her personality hadn’t actually changed at the time..."

"That indeed is strange."

The old man rubbed his temples and said, "For now, it’s hard to make a definitive judgement. Let me think it over for a few days and I’ll get back to you."

"Okay!" Lin Mu nodded, preparing to get up, but the old man’s expression changed, turning serious, "Don’t rush off, you’re aware of our rules. The first request is easy, but the second one is quite tricky, worth ten gold medals at least. But the gold medals you left here five years ago, there’s only three left, not enough to cover this cost."

"Ten, why don’t you just steal it?" Lin Mu was so surprised his face twitched slightly, making him involuntarily open his mouth wide.
