CHAPTER 1846: CHAPTER 815: LORD LIN, YOU REALLY HAVE A DARK HEART!

Lin Baici almost tripped over the doorstep when he walked out of the pharmacy.

The main thing was that San Miyairi’s words left him stunned.

"Don’t ruin my reputation, okay?"

Lin Baici was helpless. If Kim Myungjin and the others heard such rumors, how would he explain?

It was too embarrassing.

"Hehe!"

San Miyairi, walking alongside Lin Baici, leaned her head and bumped into him.

Lin Baici glanced back at Pan Junjie: "I know you want to trick him, but it’s unlikely!"

Someone like Pan Junjie might be initially misled, but he’s too cautious, even after getting an answer he’d double-check it.

"So that’s why you tipped the store clerk?"

San Miyairi pouted with a touch of disdain: "Lord Lin, your heart is quite dark!"

Lin Baici had tipped the store clerk, telling her to say he bought contraceptive pills if asked by someone.

"But I like this side of you!"

The sakura girl turned around, saw Pan Junjie indeed heading to talk to the store clerk as Lin Baici predicted.

The whisper she said to Lin Baici was meant to mislead Pan Junjie, but, apparently, he didn’t believe it.

In fact, Pan Junjie did believe it but decided out of habit to ask the clerk again.

"Hello, what medicine did my friend buy? Give me a portion too!"

Pan Junjie, leaning on the counter, flashed a charming smile.

The clerk, a heavyset Black woman, seemed to have indulged in quite a bit of junk food.

She heard Pan Junjie’s words but didn’t move, just looked at him.

"Give me a portion too!"

Thinking she didn’t understand, he slowed down his speech and repeated, but the clerk sister still didn’t move, just said one word.

"MONEY!"

The store clerk needed to see the money first, or what if a customer grabbed the medicine and ran?

After all, this kind of thing happened frequently.

Only because Pan Junjie was Asian and non-threatening, otherwise, if it were a Black customer, the clerk sister would have had her hand inside the counter, gripping a gun.

Pan Junjie was embarrassed; he didn’t have any US dollars on him.

"What did my friend buy?"

Pan Junjie asked while pretending to look for his wallet.

The clerk sister remembered the handsome young man who gave a huge tip and spat out an English word, translating to contraceptive pills.

Upon hearing the answer, Pan Junjie breathed a sigh of relief and turned away without even a word of thanks.

The clerk sister cursed "FUCK" under her breath, thinking if he had tipped well enough, she would have told him what the young man really bought!

...

The ticket from the clown had the specific address of the Virtue Club on it, located in the Queens District, 329 Franklin Street.

The tickets were free, but drinks once inside cost money.

An hour later, the group found the club.

The storefront was styled like an arched triumphal arch, looking quite dilapidated, with a sign above the door and colorful light bulbs all around.

"There’s over an hour until the comedy show starts. What do you plan to do?"

Gu Qingqiu inquired, obviously having a plan.

"What are you planning to do?"

Hua Yue Yu asked curiously.

"Stroll around and see the local culture!"

Gu Qingqiu smiled, "Lend me your camera!"

Hua Yue Yu’s camera was a taboo thing, usable within God’s ruins.

"Photos like these can’t be taken anywhere else, they’re very memorable!"

"There are dangers everywhere within God’s ruins, how about we stay nearby and monitor this club?"

Pan Junjie suggested.

"Red Medicine and I will go together. Eri, I’m leaving this to you!"

After saying that, Gu Qingqiu pulled Xia Hongyao away but after a few steps, she turned to Kim Myungjin and Hua Yue Yu, "Are you coming?"

The Goryeo girl shook her head, Little Merperson nodded, and when they realized their opinions differed, Kim Myungjin quickly nodded while Hua Yue Yu shook her head.

It was a classic case of mismatch!

Xia Hongyao and Gu Qingqiu were Lin Baici’s right-hand women, so getting along with them was essential.

"You two, stick with me and don’t wander off!"

Lin Baici insisted.

Xia Hongyao and Gu Qingqiu could certainly protect themselves, but protecting others was a bit more challenging for them.

After agreeing on a meeting time and backup location, they split up to act independently.

Opposite the club, to the left, thirty meters away, there was a café, which Lin Baici chose.

After entering, he found a window seat to watch the club.

San Miyairi brought over a potted plant, placing it on the windowsill so anyone looking from the club toward Lin Baici’s direction would have their view blocked by the plant.

"This plant is called Aglaonema, I really like it!"

San Miyairi fiddled with the plant’s leaves.

Time passed second by second.

Lin Baici sipped his coffee, waiting slowly.

After an hour had passed, there was no sign of bad luck.

Everyone’s nerves gradually relaxed.

"If I hadn’t come to this auction, I should be enjoying sunshine, a beach, pretty girls, and cold beer now!"

The guy in the hoodie sipped his coffee, grumbling: "Golden Dawn Foundation’s security is shit."

"I used to think this organization was grand, but now it seems that’s not the case at all!"

"Indeed, trash!"

Everyone chimed in to belittle.

"Everyone shut up, don’t you realize who triggered the rule pollution this time?"

Pan Junjie couldn’t take it anymore: "That middle-aged woman in fur, she might just be a god!"

His words immediately made everyone look somber and anxious, losing their interest in talking.
