Chapter 157: Yu Jianna

Although there were many possibilities for Wilson's miraculous recovery in such a short time—such as the "Physician" of the "Planter" pathway, Sequence 8, or the "Apothecary" of the "Apothecary" pathway, Sequence 9, which Lu Mi had guessed himself—since there was hope of finding Madame Pualis and her subordinates, Lu Mi would not let it go.

If not for the fact that the realization had come too late and Wilson and his group had already gone far, Lu Mi would have certainly opened the door of the moving public carriage, jumped out to chase them, and then found a way to get Wilson alive into some quarry cavity underground to interrogate him on why he could recover so quickly.

If this matter really had nothing to do with the evil god worshipped by Madame Pualis, Lu Mi would at most apologize to Wilson, and Wilson would still have to thank him for not having the heart to silence him directly.

Of course, silencing him was also a solution; which one to choose depended entirely on Lu Mi's mood.

When the public carriage stopped at the bus stop, Lu Mi was the first to walk out of the carriage door and return to the alley where Wilson and his group had disappeared.

There were no barricades here, and many people came and went, and Wilson and his group had not stepped on any obvious markers. After spending nearly a quarter of an hour carefully distinguishing, Lu Mi ultimately declared failure.

He was not discouraged. If he couldn't catch Wilson, there was still Will, and there was Williamson. In short, the Poison Sting Gang had many leaders one level higher than Wilson, each with their own businesses and territories to manage. The priest could run, but the church couldn't. As long as Lu Mi waited patiently, he would always be able to catch one or two, and they would inevitably be closer to the hidden force behind the Poison Sting Gang than Wilson and know more!

*Hoo... * Lu Mi suppressed the impatience in his heart, intending to observe for a while longer before designing a hunting plan.

If the Poison Sting Gang was really related to the evil god worshipped by Madame Pualis, then the leaders at the same level as Ma Ge would either be Sequence 8s with Beyonder characteristics or evil god followers who had received a gift equivalent to a Sequence 8 Beyonder, or perhaps even stronger. If Lu Mi hadn't gathered enough intelligence and hadn't dug the corresponding traps, and just rushed up, the outcome would likely not be very good.

"Just because I am already a 'Provoker' doesn't mean I should stop treating myself as a 'Hunter'." After admonishing himself in his heart, Lu Mi walked along the Market Avenue and entered the Breeze Dance Hall.

Because it was only past three in the afternoon, there were very few guests inside, and no one was singing or dancing. Lu Mi saw the gang thug Lu Yi Si drinking pomegranate soda at the bar at a glance.

"Soda?" Lu Mi smiled and walked over. "Can you drink something an adult should drink?"

Lu Yi Si turned his head and saw Xia Er leaning toward the bar with a beaming smile and a friendly attitude.

This made him feel vaguely dazed, as if he didn't quite recognize the young man in front of him.

Was this still the Xia Er who, although always smiling, was extremely crazy and ruthless, and wanted to kill people at the slightest disagreement?

This was clearly just a green kid who had just entered the Savar Party and still retained the simple temperament of the countryside.

Lu Yi Si shook the soda in his hand and smiled with a hint of bitterness:

"I still have to follow the Baron later, I can't drink alcohol."

Lu Mi looked at the bruise on his forehead that hadn't completely faded, laughed, and pointed to his own forehead:

"Still not healed? How many days has it been?

"I just saw Wilson. I broke his arm and threw him down from the fourth floor, and now he's fine."

Lu Yi Si was stunned for a moment:

"You mean, Wilson has recovered?"

"On the surface, that seems to be the case. I originally wanted to greet him, but he walked too fast." Lu Mi looked regretful.

Greet him? You wanted to make Wilson seriously injured again, or even not give him a chance to be treated, right? Lu Yi Si didn't dare to speak his inner thoughts out loud.

He said to himself with a rather serious expression:

"When we had a conflict with the Poison Sting Gang before, the people they had injured also recovered in a few days. The Baron suspected that they had Beyonders who were good at healing.

"But like Wilson, being able to recover quickly after suffering such a serious injury, never happened."

"Is it because you guys never beat any member of the Poison Sting Gang into such a serious injury?" Lu Mi joked in a mocking tone.

Lu Yi Si recalled and said:

"There were, but very few, and, we only saw them again after a long time, by which time they must have already fully recovered."

Looking at it this way, the treatment Wilson received was stronger than the Beyonder abilities of "Physician" and "Apothecary"? Lu Mi extracted a rather important piece of information from Lu Yi Si's words.

Although that might be a higher-sequence person of the corresponding pathway, at least it helped him rule out some possibilities.

Just as Lu Mi was about to ask how the potion materials were being collected, a beautiful figure walked in at the door.

That was a lady whose attire was very eye-catching. She had coiled up her brown-yellow long hair and let many strands of hair hang down from her ears, cheeks, and the back of her head.

She had powder on her face, and there were black lines outlined around her azure eyes, which made her eye sockets look very deep, with a bit of decadent charm.

At this time, the lady was wearing a red long dress that boldly exposed her chest, and sequins of different numbers were embedded in different positions on the dress.

Isn't this the female singer who sang vulgar songs at the Mill Dance Hall of the Poison Sting Gang? Lu Mi was stunned for a moment.

This is the Breeze Dance Hall of the Savar Party!

However, Lu Mi was not yet sure that the two were the same person, because the female singer's mole was by her lips, while this lady's mole was at the corner of her left eye.

"Why, do you have a crush on that 'little bitch'?" Lu Yi Si looked over following Lu Mi's gaze.

Lu Mi laughed:

"How can you call that lady that? One must be polite."

"Sometimes, you are really like the Baron." Lu Yi Si sighed. "Her nickname is 'Little Bitch', 'Little Bitch' Yu Jianna, a 'Flamboyant Girl'."

"What is a 'Flamboyant Girl'?" Lu Mi did not hide his ignorance. After all, he was really a country bumpkin who had just arrived in Trier from a place like Cordu Village.

Lu Yi Si recalled the Baron's description seriously and said not very fluently:

"It's a female singer whose performance, performance style, and clothing are all very flamboyant."

Also a female singer? Lu Mi asked tentatively:

"Does she also sing at the Mill Dance Hall?"

"Yes, as long as you pay, she will sing at any dance hall in the Chaotic Street." While Lu Yi Si was speaking, "Little Bitch" Yu Jianna walked over.

Her azure eyes swept, and her flowing gaze moved from Lu Mi's face to Lu Yi Si's:

"Ten songs, 4 Jin Bang, I take one-third of the money thrown onto the stage."

"No problem." Lu Yi Si had already received the Baron's instructions.

Singing for a whole night is only 4 Jin Bang? Lu Mi suddenly had a question: Would the reward he gave to Aosta Truer be too high?

In a field he didn't understand, he lacked an intuitive understanding of prices.

Noticing his gaze, Yu Jianna turned her head and looked at him with a smile:

"You can look lower."

She was referring to her rather exposed chest.

Lu Mi, whose experience only came from novels, encountered a similar situation for the first time, but there was no abnormality on his surface, and he smiled and said:

"I'm just curious. The last time I saw you elsewhere, your mole was next to your mouth, but now it's on the side of your eye."

Yu Jianna laughed in a charming and sweet way, her body swaying slightly with the laughter, which made Louis unable to help but swallow his saliva.

"Are you an outsider?" Yu Jianna asked Lu Mian in return.

Lu Mian nodded honestly.

Yu Jianna held back her smile, leaned forward, pointed at her cheek, and explained softly:

"This is Trier fashion. Many ladies have a fake mole. Placed in the middle of the cheek, it represents elegance; on the tip of the nose, it represents wantonness; at the corner of the eye, it represents passion; on the lip, it represents charm; on the button, it represents a secret..."

As she spoke, she gave Lu Mian a flirtatious wink, as if saying, "I am as passionate as fire today."

"As expected of Trier..." Lu Mian could only sigh with such a remark.

Because of the close distance, the fragrant scent when Yu Jianna spoke and the perfume on her body that seemed capable of stirring human desire drilled into his nose at the same time.

This made Lu Mian subconsciously rub his nose.

Yu Jianna suddenly let out an "Oh my":

"You wouldn't still be a virgin, would you?

"I'm not a streetwalker, but if it's you, I have no problem."

She sized up Lu Mian's face, seemingly quite satisfied with his looks.

A virgin? Something that can be regained every morning at six o'clock? Lu Mian muttered to himself, then laughed nonchalantly:

"Right now? I'm afraid you won't make it to tonight's performance."

In the old tavern of Cordu Village, when everyone started being vulgar, Lu Mian was often the most vulgar one; otherwise, it was easy to be mocked by those guys.

Yu Jianna couldn't help but laugh twice, and took the opportunity to wave her hand:

"Then find me after I finish singing tonight."

After saying that, she walked toward the semi-high wooden platform in front of the dance floor to familiarize herself with the environment in advance.

That's too perfunctory, not even setting a time and place? Lu Mian sneered at Yu Jianna in his heart.

This woman was just purely teasing him earlier!

Louis, feeling quite jealous, reminded Lu Mian:

"Don't believe her words. She just likes to tease good-looking men and won't really sleep with you.

"I suspect she is Franca's lover."

"Franca, 'Red Boots' Franca?" Lu Mian felt slightly surprised.

"Red Boots" Franca is the leader of the Savard gang responsible for White Coat Street, suspected to be female.

"Yes." Louis nodded, "Franca seems to be the boss's mistress, but her attitude toward women is also abnormal. We suspect she is bisexual, and 'Little Bitch' is very close to her."

A lover's lover, huh... Lu Mian sighed again at the social atmosphere of Trier.

Louis gazed at Yu Jianna, who was moving her body on the stage, and said with a hint of obsession:

"She wasn't this tempting when she first arrived in the Market District. In the past two years, she's become better at dressing up and more womanly. It's a pity, though..."

"If you could reach the level of 'Red Boots', you might have a chance." Lu Mian casually stirred Louis's ambition and asked instead, "Are there any clues for the three materials I want?"

Louis withdrew his gaze and said:

"I was just about to tell you, they've all been found."

"So fast?" Lu Mian was shocked by the Savard gang's work efficiency.

Why don't you go open a factory instead of being gangsters?

Louis explained:

"'Rat' Cristo keeps many animals. Some are very precious, and some we can take away as we please, as long as we pay the equivalent price. That's how the lizard eyes and snake venom sacs were obtained. The stones in the eagle nest were a gift from him."

"Rat" Cristo, who is in charge of the smuggling business? Lu Mian nodded thoughtfully.
