In America, my cousin, Supergirl Kara...
Chapter 62: Sarah Morgan
Johnny's face was as black as chocolate. Even though he had been on the streets for many years, he had never seen a tough guy like Li Xiao. He subconsciously tried to calm himself down, but the wine in his hand was spilled all over his trouser leg. Without bothering to wipe it off, he took out his phone with a gloomy face.
"Find me someone named Connor, probably under 20 years old, from Quese. I need his address and all his information!"
On the second floor, elegantly dressed wealthy women looked down at Li Xiao, who was hidden in the ring by a hood, and simultaneously began to make phone calls.
In a private, secluded room, a slender figure stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. She looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, and her white Tencel dress accentuated her exquisite curves, giving her a low-key and reserved appearance.
In the dim light, her neck was so white it almost shone with a pearly luster, and the pale blue veins looked like they were made of jeweled silk.
"His name is Connor, right?" A hint of curiosity appeared on the girl's cool face. She had just witnessed the whole scene, and through the ultra-high-definition LCD screen above her head, she could see half of Li Xiao's face clearly.
"Yes, Miss Sarah, please have a seat," a middle-aged man in a tuxedo gently reminded her from behind.
"Hmm," Sarah nodded but did not do as instructed. She rested her smooth chin on her hand and her gaze unconsciously shifted to the opposite side, where the wealthy spectators seemed to be making phone calls to confirm something.
Her delicate eyebrows rose slightly, and without turning her head, she ordered, "Keep Connor's whereabouts confidential. Don't let anyone leak this information."
"But," the butler questioned instinctively, then suddenly realized something and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Sarah's eyes swept over them lightly: "Are you questioning my decision?"
"I'm sorry, Miss, please forgive me." The butler took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, patted his chest and bowed deeply. His heart was pounding. He must have lost his mind today to dare to say "but" to the Morgan family's daughter.
"Okay, let's deal with it now. Remember to give me a copy of his information later." The girl took a few photos and then sat back on the sofa, but her bright eyes remained fixed on Li Xiao's face on the screen.
……
Under the fearful gazes of the staff, Li Xiao stepped out of the cage. Seeing the banknotes scattered on the ground, he didn't hesitate and picked them up one by one. Where else could you find such a good deal as making so much money just by bending over?
Looking at the almost fanatical gazes around him, Li Xiao calmly nodded and returned to the crippled gang's private lounge.
[Mission: Defeating the Two-Headed Ogre - Completed]
[Reward: +2 Free Attribute Points -- 14 Current Free Attribute Points, +1 Kryptonite Premium Fabric]
Touching the fabric in his pocket, Li Xiao pondered to himself that at this pace, it shouldn't be difficult to put together a complete outfit. He just wondered if it was necessary to get a bodysuit to wear, though of course, wearing underwear on the outside was definitely out of the question.
Just then, the iron gate was pushed open, and Quese strode in with eyes as bright as light bulbs. The noise outside continued, but it was blocked at the doorway.
He stared at Li Xiao without saying a word, until Li Xiao felt a chill run down his spine, before suddenly bursting into laughter: "You've really pulled off a great night, Connor!"
Before he could finish speaking, Quese grabbed Li Xiao and slapped him on the back. "Damn it, I knew I wasn't wrong about you. Your brother must be pretty good to you, right?"
"It's alright." Li Xiao gave him a suspicious look. "What advice does Boss Quese have for me?"
Without replying, Queser simply and decisively took a thick wad of US dollars from the box and slammed it on the table.
"This is what you earned tonight!"
Li Xiao counted carefully and found that there was a total of 20,000 US dollars. He originally thought that there would be at most five or six thousand, but he did not expect to receive such a windfall. This was just from one game.
"This is all I can offer. After all, I still have so many people to feed," Quese said with a hint of melancholy. "You really made our crippled gang proud. Just thinking about that bald guy's humiliated expression makes me want to laugh. And do you know any of Tokyo University's qigong?"
Quess made a Kamehameha gesture; Li Xiao's punch was just too terrifying.
"Yeah, I've trained with my family for many years," Li Xiao said, going along with his words and making up a story. "Of course, you have to start training from a young age. Boss Quese, you're too old."
"Okay, I've already arranged Connor's party," Quese said, draping his arm around Li Xiao's collar and winking. "They're all top girls from the cheerleading squad, I guarantee you'll have a blast."
Li Xiao glanced at the time; it was past nine o'clock at night. He didn't know how far this place was from Park Street, so he had to go back. Besides, he really had no interest in this kind of chaotic brawl.
"I won't be going to the party later," Li Xiao said, putting the money into his pocket. "My cousin is waiting for me at home."
"Alright, Connor, be careful on the road." Quesser didn't insist, nodding and advising, "You're quite valuable now, you can't afford any mishaps. If anyone from the Blood Gang is looking for you, just call me. How about this, I'll go up with you."
Li Xiao was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that after he made a move, the villain Quese would take such good care of him. This was exactly what he wanted. The main reason was that Brison was such a beast; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to finish the battle so easily.
Soon, Li Xiao began to ascend the stairs, with Quesai following closely behind. Several of his underlings, having witnessed Li Xiao's prowess from the upper tier of the audience seats, all wore fawning smiles upon seeing him.
When Li Xiao arrived on the street, it was already completely dark. The neon lights and the lights of various signs intertwined, but he felt as if he had been transported to another world. The music inside the boxing ring was deafening, but he felt the tranquility outside after stepping out.
Li Xiao's stomach suddenly growled, and he realized that he hadn't had a proper meal all day. Now that he had some money, he had to treat himself to a big meal.
"I know a really good Chinese restaurant nearby," Quese offered as a guide. "It's not far, just two blocks away. Order whatever you like, it's on me!"
Just then, a noisy sound rang in Li Xiao's ears. Upon hearing the familiar female voice, his face turned cold, and he rushed over.
Kara's pickup truck was parked diagonally by the drain, where a group of lame gang members wearing blue headscarves were blocking Kara's way at the alley entrance with a lewd look on their faces, like cats and mice. The baseball bat in Kara's hand was already broken in half.
"Where's my cousin!" Kara cried out like a fierce mother leopard protecting her cubs, "Hand him over!"
"Who knows, maybe she's already dead in the ring," a member with a lip piercing grinned, reaching out a large, dark hand to grab Kara's chest. "Little Pepper, come play with me."
Upon hearing the devastating news, Kara's body trembled violently. Although that kid was rigid and dull, he truly regarded Kara as family. The key was that he was too young; at the age of 17, he shouldn't have died tragically in the ring.
"Fuck your mother's crippled gang, you're all fucking dead!"
Kara's eyes instantly turned bloodshot. She swung her baseball bat at the outstretched hand, but it was gripped tightly. The black man with the nose ring grinned and slowly pulled Kara towards him.
Just then, a figure rushed out with a gust of wind. Li Xiao delivered a powerful side kick, sending the big man flying sideways in a spinning motion.
