Chapter 627 - Traces
Chapter 627: Traces
The young girl was shocked, for she had just witnessed both her bodyguards defeated in the blink of an eye. But she quickly recovered from her stupor, because Xiao Luo had actually done her a great service by incapacitating them. She had always seen the mas nothing more than tagalongs and found them terribly annoying.
She reacted with a glint in her eyes, and said, "You're amazing!"
"Didn't you ask for a dance? Let's go, then," Xiao Luo said as he reached his hand out.
"Okay."
The girl took his hand without hesitation, and it seemed like her first time holding a boy's hand, for she appeared somewhat demure and blushed slightly. After all, she was just a young girl who was always kept under the watchful eyes of her bodyguards. She might have had a rebellious streak, but she most certainly had never done anything out of the ordinary before.
As for Xiao Luo, he did not invite her to the dance floor for the sake of dancing. He had seen too much blood and slaughter of late and decided he needed to vent off the pent-up stress and bloodlust this way. Here, he would dance it off to the beat of the deafening music.
He redeemed the skill for dancing and proceeded to dance like a star!
The upbeat music in the dance club was catchy and rhythmic, making him groove sensually in beat to the passionate notes and lyrics.
The young girl was dancing with her body pressed against Xiao Luo seductively. "I am Fendi. What's your name?" asked.
"Mie!" Xiao Lou said.
This codename was a cover for his real identity, and as far as Xiao Luo was concerned, using it here wasn't taboo.
Fendi frowned. "Mie? Is that your real name?" she said.
Xiao Luo smiled and threw back the question to her, "So Fendi is your real name?"
Fendi didn't pursue the matter as she realized that real names were not necessary under such circumstances. Although she had never had a one-night stand, she knew too well that it was unnecessary to divulge her real name to a mere stranger. A fake name will do nicely, she thought.
"Stay here, I am getting some good stuff for you."
Xiao Luo frowned. "Good stuff?" he said.
"Hehe… Yeah!"
Fendi gave him a mischievous smile and left. She headed toward a very crowded corner of the dance floor.
Xiao Luo was surprised, for this rebellious girl was actually going to buy Ecstasy. She was a wild one, and he wondered what her parents would have thought of her if they found out about this.
However, Xiao Luo felt bad seeing such an innocent girl falling into the drug trap. He stepped off the dance floor to stop her.
Fendi had already received the product and was about to make the payment when she was stopped by Xiao Luo.
"Do not get involved with this!" he chided her.
"Why? I heard that this will make me dance all night, and it sounds great," Fendi said, blinking innocently.
"That's right. This stuff will make your soul ascend to the seventh heaven, hehe…"
The Ecstasy dealer had a rather perverted smile on his face. He was a yellow-haired youngster dressed in flashy clothes. He did not want this deal to go south and tried hard to convince her about the fabulous effects of the pills.
Xiao Luo did not bother to argue with him and promptly took out his phone. He browsed the image of a person addicted to drugs and showed the picture of a man with an extremely gaunt body. It clearly showed the ill-effects of drug abuse, and even in a photograph, one could tell that his soul was lost.
Fendi was shocked. "Why did you show me such a horrible picture?" she cried.
"Do you know why he had turned into such a state?" Xiao Luo asked.
Fendi shook her head, "No."
"It's because he had been taking those pills in your hand." Xiao Luo said, pointing at the Ecstasy pills in her hand.
Fendi was so spooked and almost dropped the pills. She felt disgusted just looking at the image of the gaunt-looking man-he had deep, sunken eyes that were glazed and unfocused. She was convinced by what she saw and immediately tried to return the pills to the yellow-haired youngster. "I don't want them anymore."
The yellow-haired youngster was furious, and he stared at Xiao Luo, clenching his teeth. "What's your relationship with this girl?" he scowled.
"She and I are not related. I am just helping a stranger out," Xiao Luo said.
Not related?
"Damn you, if you are not related then why have come to mess with my business?"
The yellow-haired youngster was so angry that his face flushed red. "Guys, get him!" he shouted.
Instantly, a dozen fierce-looking youths emerged from every corner of the club. They were the bouncers of this dance club, and many of them armed themselves with bats they had pulled out from underneath the tables. These bouncers were trying to defend their drug business.
The yellow-haired youngster pointed at Xiao Luo and gave the order. "F*ck him!"
"Yes, boss!"
Every one of them answered the call and pounced on Xiao Luo.
WHOOSH!
A dozen metal bats swished in deadly arcs toward Xiao Luo, coming from all angles.
Xiao Luo smirked as he swiftly shifted back two steps and took a blow from one of the bats on his shoulder. But Xiao Luo didn't flinch. Instead, he stepped on the foot of the hooligan who struck him.
"Arrgh!"
That hooligan screamed in excruciating pain, his face twisted in agony before he collapsed in a heap.
Xiao Luo took the bat from him and waltzed through the mob like a specter. Everywhere he passed, hooligans fell writhing in pain. It only took him a few moments to knock out every one of them in the club.
All the onlookers were stunned as they could not fathom how could Xiao Luo could have beaten up a dozen armed hooligans so quickly and with such ease.
Xiao Luo smiled mirthlessly and flung the bat backward.
THUD!
The bat pierced the wooden bar top like a dart and quivered. Instantly, the owner of the dance club broke into a cold sweat. It never crossed his mind that such an intimidating patron would visit his club.
Without warning, two undercover police officers emerged from the crowd with their hands were pressed against the guns on their waist. They advanced on Xiao Luo as they communicated through their walkie-talkies, "Come in, HQ. We have sight of the fugitive, Xiao Han. He's here in the Red Rose Nightclub in the Xinsu district. Request for reinfor…"
They suddenly stopped abruptly as Xiao Luo teleported right before them from a few meters away. They instinctively reacted by trying to draw their handguns.
Xiao Luo looked at them grimly. "Do you think you will be able to shoot before I kill you both?" he snarled.
"Gulp!"
The undercover police officers broke out in a cold sweat, and they swallowed their saliva with much difficulty. They had heard rumors that this wanted man was a freak of nature who had no issues with killing anyone.
Xiao Luo reached out and snatched the guns on their waist easily. The police officers froze and were in fear of being killed.
"You should be glad that you are not involved in the bio-research facility. If not, you would not be breathing now," Xiao Luo said. He smiled at them before he gave each one a chop to their necks.
POW! POW!
Instantly, both the officers collapsed. Xiao Luo threw their guns back to them and turned to leave the dance club.
WHOP! WHOP! WHOP!
The moment he stepped out, the familiar, intermittent sound of police sirens came through, and the police had reacted quickly this time.
"It seems like the leaders of Ri nation have put a great deal of pressure on the police," Xiao Luo muttered as he smiled and shook his head.
"Mie, Hop on!"
Fendi had sneaked out of the dance club during the fight between Xiao Luo and the hooligans, and when he knocked the undercover cops out. And here she was, showing up in a silver Bugatti.
"Nice car."
Xiao Luo smiled as he hopped into it.
"Of course, this is a limited edition. There're only ten of them in the world."
Fendi replied proudly. When she saw that the police cars streaking in from everywhere, she was alarmed. "What the hell? It's just a few Ecstacy pills and they are sending in so many people? Could it be those annoying bodyguards of mine called my dad? He may have called the police and they are here to bring me back!"
