Don't use yourself as payment for the commission!

"The usual, a croissant cocktail, please."

"Okay, 1500 Lungmen Dollars per cup."

The orange-haired, voluptuous girl deftly took a wine glass from the counter, and then, to Swire's stunned gaze, slashed her wrist with a fruit knife.

Warm blood flowed out and quickly filled the goblet.

"What are you doing?"

Swire watched in disbelief as Bai Xun bought the so-called Croissant Special from Croissant for 1500 LMD, while Bai Xun simply took an elegant sip of the sweet, youthful blood, looking quite content.

When Bai Xun first entered Lungmen alone in the wilderness, he was so hungry that he almost fainted in the park. It was Croissant who took pity on him and gave him some blood. However, it wasn't a free act of kindness. Afterwards, Bai Xun gave Croissant a considerable reward. This was the second time he had come to Croissant to buy blood.

"As you can see, this is a normal bar fare, and Lungmen's laws don't prohibit this, right?"

Bai Xun smacked her lips twice, then frowned slightly and turned to look at her soft, sweet croissant.

"Why does it taste so bland? Croissant, you've been eating pretty light food lately."

"How can we not eat bland food? The green belt in front of the bar has been almost completely eaten by croissants."

Exusiai pointed to the bare green plants outside the door and grinned.

"Hey, I spent a bit too much at the beginning of the month, oh well~"

Croissant stuck out her tongue, trying to get away with being cute.

Texas remained silent, only continuing to eat the Pokey that Exusiai had shredded.

"No way, this doesn't look right at all!"

Seeing the group chatting casually, Swire couldn't help but slam her hand on the table, point at Bai Xun, and shout, seemingly in the throes of a biting yawn.

“Something’s not right, Missy. There aren’t many blood demons as law-abiding as me.”

"But it looks strange no matter how you look at it."

After thinking for a long time, Swire realized that there was no law in Lungmen that prohibited people from selling small amounts of blood. In the end, she could only sit back down and pout angrily.

But Bai Xun is absolutely right about one thing: a Blood Demon who is so law-abiding is indeed quite rare.

“MISSY, you have no idea how difficult it is to find a healthy blood donor these days.”

While sipping the second croissant cocktail that Croissant handed him, Bai Xun complained to Swire.

"Especially in Colombia, people play too wildly. They're all bio-engineering entities. Although there aren't as many STDs in other places, there are still quite a few infected people. What if I bite someone with Oripathy while attacking and sucking blood on the street? Wouldn't my life be ruined?"

"So you've always done this...buying blood?"

Shi Huaiya frowned slightly, looking at the strange creature among the blood demons before her with a peculiar gaze.

"Not entirely. I used to rent boyfriends for a period of time, and all I had to do was have beautiful girls pay with their blood."

"What, young lady, are you interested?"

"Forget it, I'd rather stay single my whole life than be interested in a Blood Demon."

Miss Felin shook her head decisively, causing Bai Xun to sigh helplessly.

"Ugh, more racism. What did Blood Demon do to you? Did I eat your rice?!"

"Don't fight, don't fight, Officer Swire, this is the fine, please keep it."

After serving Bai Xun three croissant cocktails in a row, the croissant finally raised enough to cover the fine.

Just as she was about to hand the stack of Lungmen dollars to Swire, a sudden screech of brakes came from outside the bar.

A black luxury car pulled up in front of the bar with a stylish drift, and a group of men in black kicked open the car door, jumped out, and started firing homemade modified guns at the people inside the bar.

"Unleash your firepower! Penguin Logistics in the trenches is going to devour my pineapple at breakneck speed!"

"You've been so arrogant, today we'll smash your place! Smash it!"

The fierce firepower shattered the glass door instantly, and the expensive wines on the counter were also splashed everywhere.

The whistling sound of bullets cut through the air. Almost instinctively, Bai Xun flipped the table over to use as a shield, grabbed Swire who was still caught off guard by the attack, and threw her to the ground. However, he did not notice that the Tiger Talisman on his body also emitted a faint light the moment he touched Swire.

"Ouch, what are you doing?"

Swire, who was thrown to the ground by Bai Xun, instinctively breathed on him, but the next second she quickly shook her head, feeling that she shouldn't have done that. For some reason, two thoughts suddenly appeared in her mind.

One person felt they should thank Haku for helping them, while the other expressed considerable dissatisfaction.

While Swire was feeling a bit schizophrenic, Exusiai and Texas, both agile, immediately found cover, leaving Croissant, holding Lungmen Dollars, unable to dodge in time.

He watched in despair as the rubber bullets rained down on him, tearing the more than four thousand Lungmen dollars he had earned by selling his blood to shreds. His face, which had been slightly pale from blood loss, flushed red in an instant.

"My little money!"

More rubber bullets pelted Croissant all over her body. The weakness from blood loss, coupled with extreme despair, caused Croissant to collapse backward to the ground with a thud, unable to get up again.

"Ah, I'm badly injured and collapsed!"

Upon seeing this, Exusiai immediately let out a wail.

"—Croissant—, how come you look like her!"

"Wait, someone on the other side got killed?"

Exusiai let out a howl, but Texas, Croissant's friend, didn't react much, only drawing her lightsaber and preparing for battle.

On the contrary, the men in black who had come on so aggressively were stunned and panicked.

"Holy crap, weren't we just using rubber bullets? How did they manage to kill the other guy?!"

"Has someone fucking set off with live ammunition? Cease fire!"

"Oh no, someone's going to die!"

Chapter 6 Swire and the Tiger Tally

Gangs are a dark side that no mobile city can eradicate.

Compared to their counterparts in other mobile cities, the gangsters in Longmen are not exactly ruthless, but they are all extremely law-abiding.

Unlike the Sicilians' brutal fights disguised as civilized acts, the Lungmen gangs, under the Rat King's control, were genuinely quite restrained.

The most important rule is that live ammunition must never be used in the city, and that injuries or even deaths must never be caused. This is an inviolable ironclad rule, and those who cross the line will face consequences far more terrible than a simple warrant from the Royal Guard Bureau—the wrath of the entire city.

These gang members were just paid to vandalize Penguin Logistics' premises; they were all prepared with rubber bullets.

Why risk your life for a monthly salary of 5,000? If someone dies, they're all finished!

"Old Ke! Old Ke!"

After the gang members ceased fire, Exusiai's wailing became even more conspicuous, and Hakuhiro quickly rushed forward to join the wailing.

"Croissant, you can't just go like this! If you do, who am I supposed to buy blood from?!"

"Texas, come quick and give Croissant CPR, there might still be hope!"

"No, I haven't even mastered the *Longmen swear words* yet!"

Croissant was only a little dizzy from being angry, which caused her to fall down after being hit by a rubber bullet. Then Exusiai came up and started wailing, which almost made Croissant faint.

Having a teammate like Exusiai is a blessing in disguise.

"Bai Xun, give me a hand! I'm going to rob all these people of their gear! I'll take you with me to the next party!"

Bai Xun originally didn't want to get involved in Penguin Logistics' messy affairs, but when Croissant asked him for help, the familiar panel appeared at just the right time.

[Triggering the Commission: A Routine Task for Penguin Logistics]

[Client Introduction: Penguin Logistics is at it again, clashing with the gangsters! Faced with a request from a soft and delicious croissant, how could you possibly refuse? Of course, you'd help her teach those troublemaking gangsters a lesson!]

[Rewards for Commissioning: Penguin Logistics Impart Invitation Letter *1 (provided by the commissioning party); Lottery Draw Attempt *1 (Newcomer Reward, automatically converted into 1 Lottery Draw Attempt for the Twelve Talismans Limited Pool upon completion)]

To retract my earlier statement, Bai Xun has always been someone who would go to great lengths for his friends!

"I just don't understand, aren't you a logistics company? Which gang have you messed with this time?"

Bai Xun pulled Croissant up from the ground, and Croissant decisively shook her head, giving the best answer.

"I have no idea!"

"You don't even know which gangs you've messed with?"

Do you remember how many slices of bread you ate?

Exusiai chuckled and took up the conversation, completely disregarding these troublemaking gangsters.

"Holy crap, that's great! Feng Ti isn't dead!"

"Doctor, you have a miracle cure! We're saved!"

When they saw Croissant being helped up from the ground by Haku, the gangsters who had been thinking about what would happen to them immediately cheered.

"You big idiot!" The man in sunglasses with horns, who was leading the group, slapped his cheering underlings hard and pointed at the Penguin Logistics team, yelling, "Those are the people on the other side, what are you so happy about!"

The group of underlings quickly changed their tune, nodding in agreement.

"Oh right, it would be great if all of Penguin Logistics went out of business."

"If everyone dies, and someone dies, even the jail can't hold them all!"

The man in sunglasses slapped his underling again, but unexpectedly, the underling slapped him back, exclaiming helplessly.

"No, boss, I mean, it's neither quite the same nor quite the same, which is really putting me in a difficult position."

"Since someone's going to die anyway, why don't you just die!"

"You're riding a horse!"

The man in sunglasses kicked his troublesome subordinate aside, then, looking at Texas who had already drawn her lightsaber and Exusiai who was wielding Viktor, he steeled himself and began to utter harsh words.

"Remember this, today is a lesson for Penguin Logistics. If you dare to be so arrogant again, we'll smash your store again next time!"

"Men, retreat!"

At a single command, the gangsters instantly sounded the retreat and hurriedly scrambled into the black luxury car and sped away.

Of course, the Penguin Logistics trio couldn't just sit idly by.

They're always the ones who cause trouble for others; when it's someone else's turn to cause trouble for them, they just run away.

"Don't even think about running away!"

Croissant angrily charged out the door, hammer and shield in hand, only to find that the other party had already driven a long distance away in a black luxury car.

"Chase, chase, chase! My Viktor is itching for a fight!"

Exusiai, bursting with boundless energy and nowhere to vent, excitedly raised her gun and shouted. Texas, a true gangster, naturally wasn't going to let her get away with it, but...

“Our tires were deflated, so we couldn’t pursue them.”

"It's okay, I still have my car!"

As he spoke, Bai Xun pointed to his electric wheelchair under the expectant gazes of Exusiai and Croissant.

"wheelchair?"

Even Texas, who is known for her composure, couldn't hold back any longer.

The vehicle Bai Xun was referring to was an electric wheelchair, which even had a blue parasol serving as a canopy, making it look quite bizarre.

"What the hell? Bai Xun, are you planning to make us ride this to chase the enemy?"

Faced with Croissant's questioning, Bai Xun simply took off the Sky Umbrella, put it away, sat down in his wheelchair, and waved to the three women.

"Don't worry about it, I'll figure out a solution. Just get on the bus!"

Texas remained hesitant about this outrageous plan, while Exusiai and Croissant eagerly rushed forward, leaving Texas with no choice but to shake her head and follow her teammates.

"Don't move, let me help you hold them in place."

As he spoke, Bai Xun sliced ​​open his wrist with his fingertips, and the blood of the Blood Demon flowed out and was shaped into scarlet chains by Originium Arts, binding and securing Exusiai and Texas, who were standing on either side of the wheelchair, and Croissant, who was holding onto the back pedal.

Blood Shaping, Haku's Originium Arts.

Just like her name suggests, Bai Xun can reshape and reconstruct blood, but she has very little control over the blood of others. Her main use is controlling her own blood.

[Blood Shaping - Chains of Evil Fire!]

"I'll say it one last time, the wheelchair is about to accelerate!"
