In America, my cousin, Supergirl Kara...

Chapter 8: The Subway Leak Incident

This guy was indeed up to no good. He used the excuse of seeing my face clearly to seemingly shut me up, but then immediately made another request.

"I will seriously consider it."

Li Xiao nodded, feigning excitement at being valued. Quesei noticed this and felt even more reassured.

"Alright, guys, it's time to take our guests home."

Quess clapped his hands, and the people around immediately parted to make way for Li Xiaokala, who was led out of the shantytown by a burly man with a skull tattoo on his face.

"Boss Quese, are we just going to let them leave like that?"

The Latin American lad asked a question in confusion, but then felt something hard pressing against his ribs. Quesé was staring at him like he was a dead man.

boom!

……

As he reached the door, two heads on the iron bars caught Li Xiao's attention; they were the two men who had been beaten to death earlier.

Li Xiao quietly withdrew his gaze; the pickup truck was already close at hand.

After bringing the person to the back, the burly black man glanced at the license plate a few times and then turned and left.

The two quickly got into the car, started the engine, and sped away.

"I almost messed up today, it was so exciting!"

Kara shivered as she pulled out a piece of chewing gum from the car and bit down hard, while Li Xiao ripped off his mask.

The phone in Li Xiao's pocket buzzed. He unlocked it, and Kara's account had transferred $4900 to him.

"You're only taking a hundred?"

"Consider it a favor I owe you today. Although I'm quite envious, I'm not after your money from selling yourself. Anyway, you're staying at my house, so you'll have to pay me back sooner or later."

Kara drove her pickup truck onto the highway, sparing no expense in order to leave as soon as possible, despite her frugal nature.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the gold ring. Li Xiao listened carefully and noticed that the small diamonds inside were pulsating with electricity.

Li Xiao took a picture of the business card, then rolled down the window, crumpled the ring into a piece of paper, and threw it into a pothole by the roadside. Kara nodded.

"Smart moves, the benefits of gangsters are always stained with blood."

"There's a GPS tracker inside, and it's just plated in gold; it's practically worthless. Speaking of which, with gangs running rampant, don't the police do anything about it?"

"Ha, kid, do you think this is China? Those fat cops, panting after just a few steps, do you think they'd dare go against the gangs? Wouldn't it be more worthwhile for them to eat a donut, issue a few tickets, and skim some cash than risk their lives?"

Kara scoffed, mercilessly mocking the federal officers' inaction, and even slamming on the gas pedal to vent her anger as she got into the conversation.

Li Xiao felt like a woodpecker, his head pounding.

[Mission complete. Using the intelligence you obtained, you successfully aroused Black Mask's suspicion towards his subordinates, leading him to personally kill his trusted lieutenant.]

[Current Reward: Black Mask's Solid Gold Ring]

[Spirit: +2]

[Current Spirit: 11]

As if injected with a powerful brain tonic, Li Xiao felt instantly refreshed. Not only that, his thinking became incredibly active, and the surrounding buildings seemed to come alive.

Li Xiao put the items into his pocket with satisfaction. It seemed that Queser had finally made his move. Before leaving, he had a vague feeling that the person who did the job wouldn't survive, but he didn't expect that the person would be taken care of so quickly.

The Cripples are very powerful, ranking highly in the United States. Quesser is a true Seattle local bigwig. Saying he wanted to consider it was really just a unilateral announcement.

After arriving in America, things happened one after another, but Li Xiao did not back down. He simply dealt with whatever came his way.

The car quickly exited the highway, ran a red light, and came to a smooth stop at the subway entrance.

"I'll take the subway home myself. I still need to go to the supermarket to stock up. Those damn gangsters are wasting my time. That son of a bitch manager is definitely going to dock my pay. Remember to feed the dog when I get home."

After giving his instructions, the pickup truck, billowing black smoke, squeezed into the traffic like a wild bull.

Watching the car drive away, Li Xiao turned and walked onto the elevator, water dripping from the ventilation vents above his head.

Li Xiao put on his hood and went to the ticket machine. A rat was gnawing on the button. When it saw someone coming, it squeaked and made noise, as if it was declaring its territory. Li Xiao casually swatted it away.

He swiped his $3 card to get a ticket, then went into the waiting area. A few minutes later, a subway train with peeling paint slowly pulled up.

You arrive before an ancient technological marvel.

Mechanicus from another dimension is soothing the sleeping machine spirit.

No triggerable tasks have been detected yet.

Because it was adjacent to the driver's cab, the driver's angry roars filled my ears, and I could also hear the sound of hammering buttons.

The car was a bit crowded, and a disoriented young white man was lying on the floor, seemingly on drugs.

Li Xiao found an empty seat, closed his eyes to rest, and after a moment of hesitation, the subway reluctantly began to move.

"Excuse me, could you please move aside a little?"

Feeling sleepy, Li Xiao felt his arm being gently tugged, and he opened his eyes to look.

An Asian girl carrying a small leather bag stood in front of him. She looked a bit older than him, wearing a wool cardigan with a knee-length plaid skirt and Kuromi earrings. She looked youthful and lively.

Li Xiao didn't speak, but simply moved her body a little to the side.

Thank you

The girl thanked him, sat down, and then felt a bright light pierce her. It was the girl sending a voice message, her voice filled with the strong smell of kimchi.

It turned out to be a Korean girl. Li Xiao glanced at it, and the screen was all green, which made him subconsciously think of Quesse. Then he closed his eyes again.

After sending the message, the girl took out a bag of potato chips and carefully touched Li Xiao's arm.

"Bro, would you like something to eat?"

No, who taught her to address others like that right away? Li Xiao opened his eyes and saw the Gemini page on the girl's Samsung phone, with the capital "bro" clearly visible.

So that's how it is. He glanced at the potato chips from Bangmei, which were kimchi flavored, and instantly lost his appetite.

"No need, you can eat it yourself."

"Oh, bro, are you American? I'm Korean, I'm here to study abroad."

"I am a student of the University of Tokyo"

Li Xiao replied casually, but the girl's eyes lit up: "Dear? (Really?) You're from Dongda University? I've always wanted to travel to your country. Is Zhangjiajie fun?" the girl asked enthusiastically.

"have no idea"

Li Xiao shook his head.

"Okay, my name is Park Jiyeon. Nice to meet you, bro. What's your name?"

"Li Xiao"

Sensing Li Xiao's dismissive tone, the girl cautiously replied with an "oh," and then started watching the video.

Outside the window, shadows and dappled sunlight flickered, and Li Xiao suddenly felt his hood getting increasingly wet.

Looking up, he saw that the subway was also leaking, and the dripping water droplets above his head were hitting the brim of his hat, while the water directly opposite him was almost forming a thin line.

"Fuck!"

The man in the suit opposite him wiped his collar with disgust, stood up, and as his eyes darted around, he saw Park Ji-yeon, who was engrossed in looking at her phone. Without saying a word, he rushed over and punched her.

"Son of Abich! You stupid yellow-skinned bitch, give up your spot, do you hear me?"

Suddenly struck hard, Park Jiyeon's head slammed against the back of the chair, her eyes instantly welling up with tears. She shrank back to the side, looking aggrieved. "Why...why did you hit me?"

"Ha, that damn bitch deserves to be punished for coming to our country. I'm going to grab her by the neck and fuck her!"

The white man became increasingly excited as he spoke, and simply reached out and grabbed Park Ji-yeon's handbag, while using his other hand to pull at her hair.

[Children of Krypton, a violent conflict has occurred among the ancient creations, and a fallen elf attempts to forcibly mate with a subspecies of snake woman.]

[Teach the shameless fallen elf a lesson, and help the subspecies snake woman]

[Task Reward: 1 Free Attribute Point]

The girl, choking back tears, was pulled step by step away from her seat, her eyes filled with fear.

However, at that moment, a hand forcefully slapped away the white man's palm, and while he exclaimed in surprise, it also pulled Park Ji-yeon back to her seat.

It was the hooded figure; a reassuring voice came from the shadows.

"Ignore him, sit still."

After saying this, Li Xiao stood up and approached the man in the suit. The latter took a step back uneasy, but suddenly felt a numbness in his waist, followed by a strong electric current sweeping through his body.

"Ugh! Shit!"

The man in the suit screamed and collapsed to the ground, convulsing. His crotch was soaked with water, and a foul stench emanated from it.

Li Xiao calmly retracted the stun gun, just as the subway doors opened; they had arrived at the station.

You defeated a fallen elf.

[Rewards already received: 1 Free Attribute Point, Snake Man's Scale (may yield unexpected rewards when used in certain special locations)]

A palm-sized, scale-like object silently appeared in his pocket. Feeling the roughness of the object in his palm, Li Xiao got out of the car.

"etc……"

Park Jiyeon quickly called out, and seeing that Lee Hyo was about to leave, she quickly took out her phone and snapped a picture. The subway doors then closed.

Park Jiyeon froze on the spot, then looked at her phone. The photo captured Li Xiao's face in full; the girl's fingers twisted the hem of her skirt, and she gasped for breath...

After getting off the train, it was already 7 p.m. Li Xiao bought two hot dogs to fill his stomach. Going home to have a proper meal and take a shower were what he looked forward to most.
