“My friend is over there, Ke Ling. You guys find a place to sit first, I’ll go over there for a bit.”
Sasha smiled, her eyes crinkling, and said goodbye to Ke Ling and the others before leaving the team.
She saw her friends waving at her; they had been waiting for her there out of concern.
"See? They have their own circle."
After Sasha left, V leaned over to Ke Ling and said something while gesturing towards Sasha with her lips.
Ke Ling raised an eyebrow and looked at the booth where Sasha was sitting. There were four people there, and apart from Sasha, the others were all acquaintances.
A little girl with gray-green hair tied in pigtails, a muscular woman with bare breasts and her secondary sexual characteristics openly displayed, and a burly man of considerable size.
Ke Ling recognized them; they were Rebecca, Dorio, and Mann.
Rebecca and Dorio were about the same size as Ke Ling remembered, but Mann wasn't as big as he thought, probably because he hadn't modified that much yet.
"I'm just trying to see if I can get a hacker for our team. Sasha's pretty capable, isn't he?"
Ke Ling said nonchalantly, he didn't feel frustrated at all. Sasha had a better relationship with her old teammates, which was completely expected.
"Yes, he was indeed very capable, it's a pity."
Jack Wells chimed in, saying he also thought Sasha was a pretty good girl, with good abilities and a good personality, but unfortunately she already had teammates.
"No rush, there might be something even better."
Ke Ling sat down at the bar, looking completely at ease. He tapped the table lightly, and the bartender immediately came over to serve them.
"What would you like?"
The bartender was a woman with black hair, not very tall, and of medium build. Her name was Claire, and she had worked at the Rebirth Bar for many years.
"Three glasses of old-fashioned tequila, with some beer and chili."
Before Ke Ling and V could speak, Jack Wells spoke first, a smug look on his face.
"Three cups of Johnny Silverhand, coming right now."
Claire smiled and started working on her hands, glancing at the smug Jack Wells.
"It seems someone did their homework."
Claire's words made Jack Wells even more smug, as he had indeed done his research on this matter long ago.
"What kind of slang is that?"
V shook her red hair, looking puzzled.
"The old rule for the next life is to name the wines after the regular customers."
As Claire mixed the drinks, she smiled and said to V, "The recipe we just made is called Johnny Silverhand."
"Oh? What are the conditions?"
V immediately became interested; it sounded really cool, right? It completely hit her sweet spot.
"You have to die first, and you have to die in a particularly spectacular way, like Johnny Silverhand, who is still talked about today."
Claire looked serious; she was clearly not joking. These were the rules.
"tsk"
V was taken aback; those were really high requirements.
"That's great, I'd like to buy one too."
Jack Wells, who was on the side, was very supportive. His dream was to become a big shot who would leave his mark at the Afterlife Bar.
"We'll use my formula then."
Ke Ling said with a smile, extending his palm to Jack Wells.
"Snapped!"
Jack Wells laughed and gave Ke Ling a high five.
"That's right, a vodka, on the rocks, lime juice, ginger beer. Oh, and most importantly, some love."
Jack Wells repeated it; he remembered the recipe very clearly.
"sounds good."
Claire was amused. Whether these guys in front of her could become legends was hard to say, but at least they could be comedians.
Three glasses of Johnny Silverhand were ready. Carlisle pushed the glass over, and Ke Ling took the glass of Johnny Silverhand as if he were taking a glass of poison.
"A salute to the City of Night, a salute to the big win we've made."
V smiled and raised her glass to Ke Ling and Jack Wells, hoping to do so more often in the future.
"There will be even bigger ones!"
Jack Wells excitedly raised his glass and clinked it with V's. Ke Ling didn't spoil the fun either, and he also raised his glass and clinked it with the two of them.
However, V and Jack Wells both actually tilted their heads back and took a sip, while Ke Ling only touched the glass to the ground before putting it down.
His action, of course, did not escape the eyes of the three people around him.
"What? Not to your liking?"
Claire spoke first, seemingly unsurprised by the fact that the taste of Johnny Silverhand was definitely not for the average person.
"Haha! That's really exciting!"
Jack Wells put down his glass and laughed, "But that's how it has to be, otherwise how can it be called Johnny Silverhand?"
"Sigh~"
V couldn't help but gasp. Although there certainly wasn't a lot of chili, the pungent smell of the liquor really hit him right away.
Would you like me to get you a different cup?
Claire thoughtfully asked Ke Ling, "These bartenders all have a strong service mentality and their own set of ways of handling things."
"No need, actually I can't drink alcohol, I'm allergic to it."
Ke Ling forced himself to explain that he had used this reason before, for example, in situations where he was required to drink but did not want to.
"Then your life must be missing a lot of fun."
Claire paused for a moment, then poured herself a glass of juice while chatting and laughing.
Under Ke Ling's blank stare, Claire handed him the juice directly.
"You're not allergic to fruit juice, are you?"
Seeing that Ke Ling didn't reach out to take it, bartender Claire blinked and eased the awkwardness with a joke.
Jack Wells and V both laughed; they had no idea that Ke Ling couldn't drink alcohol.
"Forehead"
Left with no other option, Ke Ling accepted the juice and racked his brains, trying to figure out how to explain it.
However, before Ke Ling could come up with a solution, someone came to his rescue: Sasha and her friends.
"Hello, I'm Mann, Sasha's captain. Thank you for helping her."
Accompanying Sasha was the big guy, Captain Mann, who was very direct and immediately identified himself.
Ke Ling's lips twitched. He noticed that Mann had been staring at him, his eyes filled with scrutiny and wariness.
That vigilance was directed at those who were wielding hoes and digging at the foundation of the wall.
"Brother, don't say that. It's only right to help each other when we're doing missions together."
Jack Wells stood up, laughed, and shook hands with Mann, then stepped in front of Ke Ling.
The two men looked to be about the same size, but Mann looked a bit more muscular.
Jack Wells didn't have many prosthetics, which shows that Mann hasn't actually had many modifications yet.
Please read my new book! It's really important! Thank you so much, dear readers!!
Chapter 45 The Battle for Sasha
“I am Jack Wells, this is V, and that guy is.”
Jack Wells introduced him to Mann, V waved to Mann, and Ke Ling nodded to him as well.
"Want to come over and grab a couple of drinks?"
Mann politely responded to Ke Ling and V, and then he offered to sit in their booth, saying there was still room.
"Of course, I, Jack, love making friends."
Jack Wells glanced at V and Ke Ling, and seeing that neither of them had any objections, he immediately put his arm around Mann and walked back.
Ke Ling and V exchanged a glance, then got up and followed.
"Sorry, Mann insisted on coming."
Sasha moved closer to the two of them, her face showing some apology. Captain Mann said he wanted to thank them, and she couldn't stop him.
"It's okay, I understand."
Ke Ling smiled and reassured Sasha, admitting that he could understand; if someone tried to poach his girlfriend, he would immediately become vigilant.
Mann values his teammates highly; he's a very responsible captain, and the team members get along very well, which is normal.
However, at this moment, Jack Wells' enthusiasm had left Mann a little confused. What did this mean? Was this guy trying to poach me?
"Hi ladies, I'm Jack Wells!"
Upon arriving at the booth, Jack Wells greeted Rebecca and Dorio warmly.
"Um, hello."
Dorio and Rebecca exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes, but they still responded to Jack Wells and introduced themselves.
V, Ke Ling, and Sasha also came over at this time, and the seven of them sat in a row in the booth, formally introducing themselves to each other.
Wow! You're so cool!
