The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

What use can an empty backpack have?

Lucy rubbed the place where she was hit and complained quietly, but what she didn't know was that this backpack was actually mimicked by Lin Qiao using genetic factors.

Not to mention the attack, just talking about the defensive capabilities, it is impossible to break through even with a technically charged sniper rifle.

After getting off the car, the two walked straight to the Wild Wolf Bar.

After sensing someone coming, the automatic sensor door opens to both sides.

The light inside is a little dim, but the red light above and the music inside make it feel surprisingly good.

Directly above the bar, there is a bison skull decoration that is exactly the same as the one at the entrance of the store, and on the wall above it, there are several bright red roses painted.

Because it was still daytime, there were not many people inside, only a few, and they were all drunk, so it looked a bit deserted.

But what they have in common is that these people are wearing some shiny gold stuff, either prosthetics or some kind of jewelry, and their exposed skin has large tattoos.

You can tell at first glance that he is from the Valentino Gang.

Lin Qiao quickly looked around and then...

The dog-licking stance is on!

In an instant, everyone in the bar, even the drunkard who just took a quick glance at him, felt that this newcomer was extremely pleasing to the eye.

"Welcome to the Wild Wolf Bar, my friend, is there anything I can help you with? We have the best tequila in all of Highwood."

As soon as they sat down, Pepi, the bartender with a golden cross on his chest, asked enthusiastically.

what?

That little girl with white hair looks under 18 years old?

And the 18+ sign in the store?

Don't be ridiculous, that's just to fool those idiots in the municipal government... Don't the guys from the Valentino gang still come here every day?

Besides, he was entertaining Lin Qiao, not Lucy.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's have a glass of tequila."

"okay!"

After getting Lin Qiao's approval, Pepi's happiness level instantly increased significantly.

In no time, he poured a glass of tequila and handed it to Lin Qiao. He deliberately put less ice and more alcohol in it.

"Not bad, it tastes better than I imagined." After drinking it all, Lin Qiao praised it.

Although he has no idea what's so good about this thing, appropriate praise can strengthen the effect of his attitude towards the dog.

Lucy, under the hood, had a stern face as she looked at Pepi, who had almost lost track of who he was after Lin Qiao praised him. Then she looked up at Lin Qiao again.

How on earth did this guy do it?

"Oh, by the way, you guys don't look like you're here just to drink. Don't worry, I'm just asking to see if there's anything I can do to help."

As if worried that Lin Qiao had misunderstood, Pepi waved his hand.

Although the distance between Lin Qiao and him has shortened a lot due to his attitude of bootlicking the dog, this thing is not a halo that reduces intelligence after all.

"It's nothing. I want to ask a priest for help, so I hope Mrs. Wells can help introduce him."

"Looking for the priest....It seems that we can only ask Mrs. Wells for this matter."

There was a look of regret on Pepi's face, as if he had failed to help.

Although Mrs. Wells was not an official member of the Valentino gang, her status was so high that even the big brothers in the gang had to give her some face.

At least if he wanted to find a priest, he would definitely be much more useful than him.

"Okay, brother, wait a minute, I'll go find it for you..."

"Wait! Hey, Pepi! Wait! Don't go to Mom yet!"

Before Pepi could finish his words, a deliberately lowered voice came from the second floor.

A man who looked quite strong but was extremely agile flipped down from the second floor.

Chapter 300 I K Someone Never Lies

After glancing at the door near the bar's front desk and finding no one coming, the burly man heaved a sigh of relief.

But after seeing him, Pepi was obviously a little depressed: "You should have heard it too, he is here to see the priest..."

"That's why I asked you to wait a moment. Isn't it just that matter to find a priest? It just so happens that I do this. If the priest can solve it, I can also solve it... Well, okay, I can solve half of it."

He seemed to be a little embarrassed by being stared at by Pepi because he had boasted a little too much, so he quickly changed his words.

"Anyway, let me try first. Maybe I can solve this little brother's problem."

"Okay, okay, since you said so, I wish you good luck."

Pepi looked a little regretful, then walked aside and started wiping the cup.

"Hi, amigo (friend), let me introduce Jack Wells, willing to serve you and this lady."

There was enthusiasm and generosity in his voice, and he patted his chest with a loud sound.

"Hello, Jack, just call me K."

How should I put it, meeting each other here is...unexpected, but not that unexpected.

Lin Qiao noticed that there were two bruises on his face and the area around his left eye was a little red and swollen. At the same time, when he went downstairs just now, he seemed to have deliberately avoided using his right hand.

It looked like he was injured not long ago.

But then he shook his head: "Although this may hurt your feelings, I'm afraid you can't help me with this matter."

"Hey, don't say such discouraging words, believe in my ability... Look at my size."

Jack flexed his arms and patted his biceps.

"Whether it's a street thug or a corporate thug, I can easily handle them."

"Of course, I can do more than just rough work. If you need to sneak into a place to get something, that's no problem either."

"You know what ninjas are, right? Even though I can't fly, my skills are no worse than theirs."

Just like a passionate salesman, Jack spoke with great enthusiasm, except that the product he was selling was himself.

Although part of the reason is due to the influence of the dog-licking stance, it is indeed similar to the game.

Lin Qiao smiled and shook her head: "Thank you very much, Jack, but you really can't help me with this matter... The child next to me has encountered some problems and needs an identity to start his life again."

"I see..."

Jack looked a little embarrassed.

Well, I have to admit that this kind of technically demanding job is definitely not something he can handle.

"But don't worry, you still have a long time to live in Night City. If you encounter any problems, I will definitely look for your famous Jack Wells."

"That's great, I will definitely help you handle it beautifully when the time comes."

After writing down her contact information on a piece of paper, Lin Qiao waved to the bartender next to her and said, "Pepi, give me three glasses of tequila. It's my treat for you and Jack."

"Oh my, how can I feel so embarrassed..."

Jack was smiling widely, and was about to pick up the cup and drink the dark liquid inside, but he was stopped by a stern shout.

"Jack!"

The woman with gray hair walked over with big, brisk strides.

Although she is old, she looks as majestic as a lioness.

Jack burst into tears: "Mom, it's just a minor injury, it will be healed in two days..."

"Then drink it again in two days!"

Mrs. Wells didn't listen to her son's excuses at all... She knew very well what her son was thinking.

Jack put the cup down with a look on his face, as if he was having a very unlucky day, and muttered something under his breath.

He turned his head away depressedly, as if hoping to out of sight, out of mind.

Mrs. Wells looked at Lin Qiao, then at Lucy who was hiding behind her.

"Dios mío (Oh my God), this child is so pitiful... Can you tell me what happened?"

"This...is not impossible, it's just a little complicated." Lin Qiao pretended to hesitate for a moment before agreeing.

He patted Lucy's head gently and started to speak the words he had prepared earlier.

"The child's parents are employees of the company. The family was living a decent life, but then something unexpected happened."

"There have been personnel changes in the management... You know the power struggles in the company, people fight to the death for a position, and they do all kinds of despicable things."

"Anyway, her parents were unlucky and accidentally chose the wrong side, so they got caught in the crossfire. I had no choice but to help her escape."

"After much thought, I decided to settle down in Night City. It's such a chaotic place."

This is why most people who have committed crimes come to Night City.

——It’s too messy.

Like other places, super companies like Arasaka and Militech can completely cover up everything, and you can't hide even if you want to.

And Night City...

Although Richard Knight, the builder of Night City, did want to build a truly ideal city, throwing a bunch of super companies into the first city is tantamount to raising poisonous insects.

If they really want to do the "Water is Clear" thing, we'd better leave as soon as possible.

This is most likely the reason why Richard Knight was assassinated - after all, everyone is not very clean.

Although the above stories were all made up by Lin Qiao.

However, after reading the memory of the hacker from the Luan Dao Society and slightly rewriting the story of the unfortunate reporter, and using the dog-licking stance to manipulate emotions, the people present did not doubt Lin Qiao's words...

Of course, the main reason is that this happens too often in Night City.

“Bienvenidos a casa (Welcome home), at least you are safe here.”

Mrs. Wells came over and hugged Lucy with some pity.

Just as many people have said about her: hidden behind her harsh way of speaking and behavior is a kind heart.

After asking the bartender Pepi to get Lucy a bottle of soda for mixing cocktails, he turned to look at Lin Qiao and pushed the glass of tequila that originally belonged to Jack to him.

"What about you? You don't look like this kid's family."

"Me? I'm her temporary guardian... I have a good relationship with her parents, and they helped me a lot. I couldn't stay there anymore, so I just took her to Night City."

Lin Qiao spread his hands, picked up the tequila in front of him and drank it all.

Although it was a strong liquor, he really couldn't tell what made it strong. He had no experience of drinking before traveling through time... It just felt like water with a weird taste.

Mrs. Wells nodded: "Okay, I'll take you to see the priest."

"Grateful."

"Don't worry young man, you should have brought money before that, right?"

Although they sympathize with the other party, the Valentino Gang is not a charity, and they still have to collect the money... at most they can give a discount.

"Don't worry, I know the rules... Here they are."

As he spoke, he took out several chip cards containing money.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wells said nothing more, but stood up with an orange light flashing in her eyes.

——This can be considered as a communication feature of this era. Through the chip placed in the brain, one can communicate with others without speaking.

After a moment, the light in Mrs. Wells's eyes disappeared.

"The priest has agreed to meet with you...Jack, take them to see the priest."
