American comics: The Savior Who Started with Vampires

Chapter 82 Celebration

A travel-worn man, quickly shaking off the snowflakes, gently pushed open the bar door.

He smiled as he looked into the bar, but the scene before him made him pause in surprise.

Bottles of whiskey and cocktails were placed on the tables, and Emily, Dame, and the other three were busy at work.

"What's going on?"

The man asked, somewhat puzzled.

Emily suddenly turned her head and looked at the man with a smile: "Today the bar is celebrating Lin's return! All drinks are 20% off!"

"!"

The man quickly went to a table, opened a bottle of whiskey himself, and Dam, who was next to him, hurriedly handed him a glass, but he did not take it and instead started drinking the bottle down in one gulp.

Soon, regulars began knocking on the door of Emily's Tavern.

"Good heavens, Lin, you're finally back!"

"I thought you couldn't stand Emily's pressure and ran away!"

A burly white man with a thick beard chuckled as he spoke, instantly drawing Emily's angry glare. However, the man was not angry at all; instead, he wore a maternal smile.

More and more regulars at the bar greeted Lin Jue, and in no time, every table in the huge bar was full of customers, and even more people were still coming into the bar.

"Good heavens! What's wrong with these guys? Why aren't they at work so late?"

A customer who couldn't find a seat looked at Emily's booth with some surprise.

"Haha, Uncle Buken, you can go up to the second floor. A new floor has just opened up next door!"

Emily's gaze fell on Lin Jue, who was moving between the various desks. Finally, she no longer felt as anxious and empty as usual.

Only after Lin Jue disappeared did she realize that he had long been indispensable to her heart...

"Alright! Emily, your business is getting better and better..."

The middle-aged man walked towards the second-floor staircase on the side, while Lin Jue began to greet some of the new guests.

Call ~

Dam twisted his fat body and stretched his waist.

Emily quickly bent down and took the bottles from the case and placed them on the display stand, while Dam, carrying the bottles, hurried toward the loudly calling customers.

"By the way, have you heard? Yesterday, Catwoman seemed to have run into remnants of the Masked Company!"

"Damn it, those damn guys wouldn't have come to our East District, would they?"

"The Blood God and the Judges haven't appeared in our East District for a long time. It's as if they've left, so much so that the criminals seem to be stirring again."

The burly white man who had been teasing Emily spoke with a worried expression.

"Uncle, I have some inside information!"

Dam darted to the big man's table like a whirlwind, his eyes gleaming slyly as he spoke.

"Huh? Really?! Is it about the Trial Council?"

The burly white man and his classmates all crowded around, their eyes filled with curiosity as they looked at Dam, who wore a mysterious smile.

"Ahem!"

Dam glanced at the wine glasses on their table, and the others immediately and instinctively handed him glasses filled with wine.

He casually picked up a glass and took a big gulp, a blush spreading across his chubby face.

"I'm sure the Tribunal will be visiting our Gotham East District again soon, so Miss Catwoman won't have to run around so much!"

"Really?"

Some people questioned this with disbelief.

"Heh! Have you all forgotten my prophecy from last time? The Judgment Council directly released a powerful judge like the Blood God. Believe me, the Judgment Council will once again use overwhelming force to deter those despicable and evil bastards!"

"It seems like kid Dam did make a prediction last time?"

"Haha, let's drink, let's drink!"

Upon receiving the good news, the diners handed over their glasses, and Dam drank three more. The group chatted happily while enjoying snacks from Emily's Tavern.

Finally, no more customers entered the shop, and Lin Jue had a rare moment of rest. He slowly went to the staff table and poured himself a cocktail.

He then started leading the conversation on his own.

However, not long after, a slender woman slowly walked to his table, her gaze fixed on Lin Jue's face.

"Lin? Long time no see!"

Lin Jue looked at the woman with some doubt, as he was not familiar with this woman who seemed to know him.

"Sigh, it seems you've forgotten everything. You saved me back when you weren't working as a waiter at this tavern!"

A hint of sadness flashed across the woman's face.

"It was nothing!"

Lin Jue smiled faintly. In the past, he had some fighting skills, but they were just for small-scale sparring. Apart from Danm, he didn't remember most of the others. Moreover, his essence was to punish evil, not to save people.

"I've been wanting to thank you for a long time! But I never expected you to disappear for a month. Now, I'd like to invite you to our family dinner!"

"Uh... um? A family dinner? May I ask who you are?"

"Mary Grayson!"

?

Lin Jue, who had originally intended to refuse, suddenly became interested. Mary Grayson's name was not so easy to attract his attention, but her son, Dick Grayson, gave Lin Jue some ideas.

"So, your family is a reorganized family, mainly formed by the merger of you and the original branches!"

"Yes, my family currently works in a circus! But recently, at my grandfather's invitation, we've been preparing to attend this dinner party. As part of the celebration, each family can invite friends to join us. Some members of our family have considerable wealth in the East District, and I hope I can be of some help to you. You are a respectable person!"

"Thank you, I'll consider participating!"

Mary Grayson smiled and nodded, then, under Emily's subtle gaze, slowly rose and left the bar.

"Lin Jue, who is she?"

Emily strolled leisurely to Lin Jue's table, her expression unchanged, and asked softly.

"Ha, a lady I helped before wants to invite me to her family's dinner party and introduce me to some wealthy people in the East District!"

Lin Jue smiled and quickly explained.

"oh!"

Realizing she had misunderstood, Emily quickly turned her head away and continued with her own business.

Lin Jue slowly downed his drink, a thoughtful look in his eyes. Dick Grayson, this was no ordinary person. If nothing unexpected happened, he might become the Robin of Batman, possessing extremely remarkable fighting talent. He pondered Dick Grayson's storyline, though there were many parts he couldn't quite remember. However, a piece of information from a TV series flashed through his mind.

If there were more storylines involving that aspect, that would be really interesting...
