Chapter 1110: Jack of Diamonds

Jack of Diamonds

The tavern was already somewhat old. In the air, besides the pungent smell of strong alcohol, there was also the decayed smell of old wooden boards and the stench of not having been exposed to the sun for a long time, making Jian Changsheng subconsciously frown.

The impression the Tianshu Domain gave people had always been orderly, clean, and tidy. He didn't expect there would be such a place...

In the dim interior, only the Kerosene Lamp on the bar counter burned silently. Sensing guests entering, that Bartender, who was visibly over fifty years old, swept a glance at them, doubt and vigilance flickering in his eyes.

Jian Changsheng didn't pay attention to the Bartender. He swept a glance across the tavern. Besides the Bartender, there was only a tall and thin figure who was dead drunk lying in the corner, as if dead.

"That's him." Jian Changsheng nodded slightly.

Jian Changsheng remembered that person. They had seen him when going to the Wuji Domain, but they had never spoken. He was exactly the Dusk Society's Jack of Diamonds.

"Why is he drunk like this?"

"I don't know... let's wake him up first."

"Several guests, if you aren't here to drink, then please go back." The Bartender's voice was incomparably low, a faint cold light flickering in his gaze looking at Jian Changsheng's group of three.

"It's fine... A-Duo."

The dead drunk Jack of Diamonds spoke lazily. One of his hands groped in the air for a moment, finally grabbing a corner of the sofa, and then staggeringly prepared to get up... As a result, his legs went soft and he fell slanted onto the sofa, his eyes squinting sleepily.

So drunk that he couldn't stand up, Jack of Diamonds also no longer struggled. He simply lay down directly and spoke leisurely:

"These few are my juniors...hiccup... serve them a glass of whiskey each... they'll pay themselves."

The Bartender doubtfully sized up Jian Changsheng's group of three for a few glances, and didn't stop them again. Instead, he turned and entered behind the bar counter, getting busy amidst the dim light and shadows.

Looking at Jack of Diamonds who was dead drunk like mud in front of him, Jian Changsheng frowned tightly. He silently moved close to Sun Bumian's ear and asked softly:

"Diamonds, are you sure this guy is reliable?"

"To tell the truth... not necessarily reliable." Sun Bumian spread his hands. "But right now he is our only choice."

Jian Changsheng let out a long sigh, preparing to sit down on the sofa, but from the corner of his eye, he saw a dried water stain of an unknown substance left on the sofa surface. His mouth slightly twitched, and he silently chose to stand by the table.

Jian Changsheng, Sun Bumian, and Jiang Xiaohua all uniformly stood in a row, just looking like this at Jack of Diamonds lying on the sofa. They were only missing a white flower held in their hands, their voices and faces still lingering.

"... Can't you guys just sit down?" Jack of Diamonds felt a little creeped out in his heart, most of his drunkenness dissipating. "I'm just drunk, not drank myself to death!"

In the end, it was still Jiang Xiaohua who found three small stools from somewhere, and the three of them finally sat down by the table. At this time, the Bartender also served a few glasses of strong alcohol, and then tactfully squeezed into the Warehouse himself.

The dim tavern instantly fell into deathly silence. Both Jian Changsheng and Sun Bumian sat upright and still. Only Jiang Xiaohua curiously fiddled with the spherical ice cube in the wine glass, emitting ding-ding-dang-dang sounds.

Jack of Diamonds supported his head with one hand, sitting up groggily. Instinctively, he picked up the wine glass in front of him again and took a sip, then let out a pungent and stinky burp:

"What's up? Three famous 6-series coming to find me together... is there some important matter?"

"We want to know the location of the Integration Faction." Jian Changsheng got straight to the point.

"... Oh?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Jack of Diamonds's eyes. "Why are you going to the Integration Faction... Are we going to make a move on the Integration Faction? Didn't we just finish fighting the Fire-Stealers??"

"..." Sun Bumian was somewhat speechless. "We're going to the Integration Faction to find someone."

"Find someone..."

Jack of Diamonds's gaze swept across the three 6s in front of him. As if realizing something, his expression was somewhat subtle. "Oh~ you're going to find the Calamity of Mockery."

Hearing the words Calamity of Mockery, Jian Changsheng, Sun Bumian, and Jiang Xiaohua's expressions all changed at the same time.

The three of them stood up with aswoosh, and the aura of the Soldier, Drama, and Witch God Paths almost instantly filled the entire tavern, shaking the wine glasses on the table until they slightly trembled!

Bang——!

"Who did you say... is the Calamity of Mockery?" Jian Changsheng smashed a fist on the table, a chilling Killing Intent wildly surging from those pupils.

The Killing Intent of the Path of the Soldier wreaked havoc in the room; Sun Bumian coldly looked at Jack of Diamonds, a ring blooming in the pupils behind his small Round Sunglasses; Jiang Xiaohua silently pulled out a strand of Jack of Diamonds's hair from the corner of the sofa, familiarly tying a knot at his fingertips...

Sun Bumian and the others had watched Chen Ling transform into Nuo Exorcism to save everyone. They were very clear that the Calamity of Mockery was the Calamity of Mockery, and Chen Ling was Chen Ling... Right now, Jack of Diamonds directly calling Chen Ling the Calamity of Mockery, what was the difference from cursing someone to their face? And cursing quite terribly at that.

"Jack of Diamonds, although you are a senior, I still need to remind you a bit... If it wasn't for Chen Ling, you would still be a corpse right now." Sun Bumian's tone was somewhat unfriendly.

"That's right." Jiang Xiaohua spoke muffledly. "Even your salary is paid by him..."

Seeing the reactions of the three, Jack of Diamonds's eyebrows slightly rose, and then he suddenly laughed:

"Alright, alright, alright, it's my fault. I drank too much last night and haven't woken up yet... However, right now it's spreading everywhere outside that Six of Hearts is the Calamity of Mockery. Those citizens won't listen to these explanations."

"Just worry about yourself first."

Jian Changsheng answered coldly.

Jian Changsheng had originally planned to turn around and leave, but Sun Bumian's hand under the table pulled him back. Although this Jack of Diamonds offended them as soon as he opened his mouth, he was indeed their fastest way to find Six of Hearts. After struggling for a long time, Jian Changsheng still gritted his teeth and sat back down.

"You want to find the location of the Integration Faction, it's not that easy." Jack of Diamonds slowly spoke,

"Even if I tell you, you might not necessarily find it. After all, the Gray World is so big, and without detailed map guidance, you will highly likely get lost near those few Calamity territories... Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless, I personally take you there."

Jian Changsheng spoke snappily, "You personally leading the way? Are you that kind-hearted?"

The initial impression Jack of Diamonds left on Jian Changsheng and the others was extremely poor. Right now, him taking the initiative to say he would lead the way, Jian Changsheng and the others naturally didn't trust him, having an innate resistance towards him.

"Anyway, I have nothing to do here." Jack of Diamonds shrugged. "After returning from the Wuji Domain, the Red King had me on standby here, but after waiting for so many days I haven't received any mission... I guess His Elderly Self had long forgotten about me.

Rather than wasting time here, it's better to find something to do... However, I have one requirement."

"What requirement?"

"You have to accompany me to drink."

"...???"

Jack of Diamonds lay back on the sofa, spreading his hands and saying, "Look, I only have this one hobby of drinking. I'm unwilling to stay here because it's too boring and I can only drink alone... Since you want me to lead the way, you must at least send someone to accompany me to drink, right? Only then is it worth it for me, isn't it?

I just have this one requirement. If you don't agree, then forget it..."
