Chapter 217 It's Too Late
Hearing this sound, everyone in the tavern perked up.
It's the masked monster!
The real owner has finally arrived!
But even the legendary masked man cannot transcend the rules of the tavern, right?
The official members in the tavern looked at each other, and many of them quietly stood up and changed their seats to be closer to the door.
They all wanted to see what the masked man would do.
At the door, Xue Lin smiled and said, holding a glass of red wine, "Isn't this the masked boss? He has caused such a big incident and still refuses to leave. I think the mechanical tribe should send out troops, right?"
This guy is very smart. He also doesn't know what the mechanical clan is doing. He said this to put psychological pressure on Su Xia.
He was one step away from the world outside the door.
This step is the distance between life and death.
No matter how deadly the opponent's weapon is, it can only stop one step away.
Su Xia walked to the door with empty hands and without any weapons. He even changed his clothes to sportswear and a white mask. He looked like a young man out for a stroll.
With this appearance, no one could connect him with the legendary masked man.
"The masked boss is really powerful. He defeated two major families by himself." Xue Lin seemed to be complimenting, but his tone was sarcastic.
He raised his glass and said, "With this strength, I guess you have nothing to fear, right?"
If he dared to say this outside the pub, he would be courting death.
Even inside the tavern, there was a price to pay for saying such things, and that price was that he would never be able to step out of the tavern again in his life.
"This guy is so courageous."
The other members all saw what Xue Lin was thinking and were a little impressed by his calmness and boldness.
Even though they knew that the tavern could protect them for a lifetime, they did not dare to mock the masked stranger in person.
"You seem very confident." Su Xia walked up to Xue Lin, speaking calmly, and stood outside the door.
The two of them were very close, yet so far away that it seemed like a whole world separated them.
Xue Lin smiled and said, "Confidence is an excellent quality. Masked Boss, don't you have it? Maybe I'm overthinking it. With your strength, how could you not have it ?"
"Well, that's a good point."
Su Xia replied calmly, and suddenly an exquisite dagger appeared in his hand.
In the sunlight, the surface of the dagger shone with a dazzling cold light.
Xue Lin's eyelids trembled, and he felt a cold murderous intent penetrating into his bones, but when he remembered that he was still in the tavern, he calmed down a little.
He took a sip of the red wine in the glass, swallowed it without tasting it, as if he wanted to swallow the newly-born fear together.
"Masked boss, why don't you come in and have a drink first?" He forced himself to remain calm and smiled again, "It's a rare quiet day today, and the sun is shining brightly, it's a good day for wine tasting."
"Sunlight?"
Su Xia looked up at the sun. The fog covering the entire city had dispersed a lot, so she agreed: "It is indeed a good day to kill someone."
As he spoke, he took a half step forward.
The deadly murderous intent came towards him, and Xue Lin trembled all over and could not help but take two steps back.
"you……"
When he steadied himself, he realized that Su Xia had only taken half a step, and he couldn't help feeling annoyed.
With his retreat, all the momentum he had created before was completely gone, leaving only the image of a timid man pretending to be calm.
At this point, Xue Lin stopped pretending and drank the red wine in the quilt in one gulp. Then he stared at Su Xia and said, "Masked man, if you want to kill me, then come on. My neck is right here. If you want to chop it, come and chop it!"
"That's exactly what I meant."
Su Xia took another half step and walked into the tavern.
He wiped the blade on his clothes, his eyes were cold, and he seemed to really intend to kill someone.
Seeing this, Xue Lin's face trembled, and he added: "Masked man, you have to think carefully. Even a level 5 creature can't escape the pursuit of the tavern. Which is more valuable, your life or mine?"
Su Xia asked back: "Where is your confidence?"
"you……"
Xue Lin gritted his teeth and his face turned ugly.
In the tavern, the other members became nervous, their eyes moving back and forth between Xue Lin and Su Xia, almost all thinking about the same question.
Would the masked man really dare to take action inside the tavern?
Deep inside the first floor, several more elevators came up, and all the killers downstairs ran up.
Some people even took out their cell phones, turned on the video, and secretly recorded everything that was happening.
At this time, Xue Lie held Su Xia's shoulders and said in a deep voice: "Masked brother, calm down."
"oh?"
Su Xia turned his head slightly, looked at the sturdy middle-aged man, and asked, "I know you, Yi Yi's junior brother, and Xue Lin's master."
"It's me."
"You should be angry."
"I am indeed very angry." Xue Lie nodded, "But matters within the tavern can only be resolved using the tavern's internal rules."
“What if there is something wrong with this rule?”
Su Xia was outspoken and criticized this rule in front of everyone.
This is indeed the case. Many formal members do not like this rule because the sense of restraint it brings is too strong, while killers all like freedom.
On the side, Xue Lin sneered: "Masked Stranger, the rules are made for people to follow. You are not qualified to question the rules now. Are you smarter than the people above you?"
Su Xia asked indifferently: "Do you think your neck is harder than a knife?"
"you……"
Xue Lin clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said, "Anyway, you can't kill me!"
He was no longer as confident as before, but he still held on, repeatedly reminding Su Xia of the rule.
Just at this moment, Xue Lie's cell phone suddenly vibrated. He took out his phone and saw that it was Yi Yi calling again.
Xue Lie knew very well that the call at this time could only be about one thing.
He immediately pressed the answer button: "Hello? Senior brother?"
"Brother, did the mask come to the tavern to kill people?"
"Brother, you really understand him." Xue Lie replied, "If I hadn't stopped him, he might have already started."
"Give the phone to Mask. I want to talk to him."
"All right."
Xue Lie nodded and handed the phone to Su Xia.
Su Xia took the phone and put it to her ear. Yi Yi's familiar voice came from it immediately: "Mask, don't do it. Be patient. Listen to me. The rules of the tavern do not allow..."
Before he could say anything, Su Xia hung up the phone.
He returned the phone to Xue Lie and said calmly, "He's done."
"this……"
Xue Lie was stunned. As a psychic creature, he had very good hearing. It was clear that Yi Yi on the other end of the phone hung up before he could finish speaking.
Xue Lin, who was standing by, also heard Yi Yi's words, and he felt a lot more at ease.
"Did you hear that?" He forced a smile, "Masked man, the store managers of the two cities are here..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest.
Xue Lin's eyes widened, he lowered his head in disbelief, and stared at his chest.
There, there was a cold dagger stuck in there, and the hand holding the dagger was naturally Su Xia's.
"How dare you..."
Xue Lin's voice trembled, and he suddenly felt a great fear. All the confidence he had gained from that rule was shattered.
The masked man wants to kill him!
Even if the whole world is hunting him, the masked man will kill him!
Is this person not afraid of death?
Is he a lunatic?
"rule?"
Su Xia sneered, exerted a little force on his hand, and twisted the dagger.
The real and intense pain made Xue Lin even more panicked, and his body couldn't stop shaking. He didn't want to die. He never thought that the masked man would dare to attack him.
In the tavern, all the members stood up in shock at this scene.
Just when they thought Su Xia would compromise, he suddenly took action, shattering the psychological expectations of countless people.
The faint smell of blood and Xue Lin's frightened voice told them that this incident was real and had already happened.
“Bang!”
Some people were so stunned that they couldn't even hold the wine glass in their hands. The glass smashed to the ground, and the broken pieces mixed with wine splashed everywhere.
How many years has it been since something like this happened?
The last time this happened was last time...
It must have been at least six or seven years, right?
The man's name has been erased by the tavern and all information about him has been sealed, as if such a person has never existed in this world.
Now, is the Masked Man going the same way?
"Mask, calm down!"
Even Xue Lie's face changed, and he hurriedly spoke up to stop Su Xia.
Now Xue Lin is not dead yet, there is still room for recovery. After all, Su Xia has a very high priority in the tavern and is the focus of observation at the headquarters.
If all goes well, he will have a great chance of entering the management level of the tavern headquarters in the future.
But Su Xia seemed not to hear his words. Her eyes were cold and she twisted the dagger in her hand again.
“Squeak…”
A stream of warm blood spurted out from the wound.
Xue Lin was terrified and pale, and he shouted, "No... no, stop it now. I want to apologize. It's not too late to stop now. It's not too late... "
The pain in his chest became more and more intense, the wine glass in his hand fell, and his trembling legs could no longer support his body. He collapsed on the spot and fell heavily to the floor.
The bloody dagger remained in Su Xia's hand.
And on Xue Lin's chest, there was only a horrific wound with blood spurting out.
"No, I can't die, stop the bleeding, stop the bleeding..."
He was cold all over and panicked, and with his trembling right hand he took out a healing potion from his right pocket.
However, Su Xia took a step forward and stepped on his right arm with a little force.
“Crack!”
Xue Lin screamed as his right arm was stepped on and broken, and the medicine in his hand rolled to the side.
His face was becoming paler and paler, his limbs were twitching in great fear and pain, and death was slowly swallowing him.
"Save me... Master... Save me, save me..."
In the last moments of his life, Xue Lin looked at the only person who might save him, his face full of pain, and begged weakly.
But Xue Lie closed his eyes helplessly.
He knew it was too late.
At this moment, shrill bells rang simultaneously in the basement halls of midnight taverns across the planet.
Killers from all over the world froze in one moment, and looked up in shock at the large screen in the hall where missions were posted. There was a mission so red it looked like it was going to bleed, and it was pinned to the top.
[Masked Stranger, Wanted Worldwide, 100 Million Bounty]
