Pirate's Freedom

Ding--

The goblet knocked against the bar, making a clear sound, and Langdon snapped his fingers to the bartender.

"Continued Cup.

In front of the maze-like tall wine cabinet, the sexy and charming bartender picked out several bottles of famous wines with very different styles, and turned around gracefully.

In the dazzling technique, the artistic beauty is pleasing to the eye.

Ta~ta~ta~ta...

Elegant footsteps came closer from far away, and wherever they went, the crowds moved to both sides. Langdon, who was concentrating on admiring the bartending, tilted his head at a slight angle inconspicuously.

In the corner of the eye.

The slender white fingers brushed the rows of glasses like playing a piano, and the sweet percussion sound of 'ding-dong-dong-dong' sounded in an orderly manner like music.

Immediately afterwards, the empty wine glass disappeared from Langdon's eyes like magic. His slender hand traced an elegant arc and paused slightly under the tall bridge of his nose.

"...[Evasion]...?"

Leaning slightly closer, the strange fragrance in the long hair teases people's heartstrings. Wrapped in a black evening gown, the poppy-like woman exudes dangerous temptation.

"Customers who come here rarely order this kind of wine."

"I'm waiting for my friends to come."

After receiving the wine glass from the bartender, Langdon smiled and raised his glass to her.

“The right kind of friend, the right kind of wine.”

……

"A glass of [avoidance]."

The same bar, the same bartender, the same conversations taking place as usual, the same choices made as usual.

The spacious bar was empty, with only two people sitting here.

Since the woman sat down, everyone here has been very knowledgeable and no one will come to disturb her.

"It's been three days and the friend you were waiting for hasn't come yet?"

"Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe forever, who knows? But that's what's fun."

"Gluck cluck~"

The crisp laughter has a crystal clear texture.

"Landon, you're funny too."

"It also gave me a strange sense of familiarity. Can you say... love at first sight?"

The atmosphere of the entire space was stagnant for a moment, and even the melodious music lingering in the air seemed to pause suddenly.

Langdon looked around. The top elites were chatting, laughing and drinking as usual, as if everything just now was an illusion.

……

It’s also the [Lawless Zone], and it’s also Area 18.

In unknown corners, the golden and charming illusion brought by power is set aside, and killing and death bloom quietly in the darkness.

"Excuse me, Dorian."

At Langdon's feet were corpses scattered everywhere, with blood gurgling like a stream.

"It's nothing, just like the teacher said."

In the steaming water vapor, the strong and burly fishman was covered in red, and the temperature between his breath and breath was so high that it caused the air to distort.

"You do your part and I'll do mine."

As his boiling blood returned to calm, the redness from the high temperature slowly faded, and Dorian's skin gradually turned blue again.

"But Langdon—"

Dorian, who had calmed down, suddenly spoke in the darkness.

"According to what you just said, the woman the Tianlong people like can live freely in Shampoo Land. Is this possible?"

"Even if it's true, how could such a woman say such things in public without even the slightest bit of self-awareness?"

Dorian's appearance tends to bring about a lot of prejudice against him.

But in fact, he had a delicate and persevering heart, and his life as a slave had the least impact on him among all the people.

"Her true attitude has nothing to do with us."

Langdon said calmly without being affected at all.

"Whether it's a bad taste or something, it doesn't matter what it is."

"... Langdon, do you want to find a way to find someone else?"

Although Langdon looked determined, Dorian couldn't help but remind him again.

"Be clear, there are a few guys here who are very dangerous. A person who wins an invitation letter by luck in gambling has absolutely no chance of surviving."

"This is the most likely place, now is the most likely time, we don't have time to miss the opportunity, not to mention, coincidence can only happen once."

"..."

In Dorian's hesitant expression, Langdon's figure was swallowed by darkness.

"Don't underestimate me, Dorian, I know what I'm doing."

……

Today is the fourth day.

When Langdon entered, he clearly felt countless surprised looks.

But when he looked over, it immediately turned into a polite smile while raising his glass.

The woman was waiting there as usual, and immediately waved to him vigorously when she saw him coming in.

……

"Don't always tell me. You can also tell me a story, or talk about your past. What kind of person were you? Where were you born and raised?"

With excited words ringing in his ears, Langdon twirled the wine glass in his hand.

"Don't you think that mysterious men are more likely to arouse women's curiosity?"

"Men who are mysterious are attractive, but men who are mysterious are not."

……

"Don't you smoke?"

"Never."

"What a pity!"

The woman stood up and spun around, her skirt blooming like the night sky.

"Fine wine, delicious food, and beautiful women like me, you can find it all here!"

He extended a hand to wave, and the cigarette box made of gold foil was gently opened, revealing rare cigars neatly arranged.

pat!

The woman looked full of expectation, flexibly shook her wrist, opened the lid of the delicate lighter, and the flame burned faintly.

"Why don't you give it a try?"

……

"What are you looking at?"

With one hand, he grabbed Langdon's wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

"Why don't you look at me~"

Langdon turned his head.

There was a hint of anger in his smiling expression, and there was a hint of cunning in his eyes, like gold pieces dancing on the lake surface in the evening breeze.

"No matter what happens these days, thank you for waiting here with me."

"My friend is already here."

Langdon stood up, turned and left.

"Sorry, excuse me."

Wearing a lake blue suit and a goatee, Spangdyne, who was already in power, looked very calm and polite. Surrounded by several beautiful women, he met with a serious-looking woman. Senior officials came in while chatting.

Langdon walked over quickly and opened his arms to Spangdyne enthusiastically.

"Long time no see! My friend!"

Perhaps because Langdon's movements and demeanor were too familiar, the people around Spangdine moved aside.

Langdon had an unimpeded journey until he came to the confused Spangdyne.

"Who are you? Do I know you?"

"WHY—SO—SERIOUS—?"

Holding Spangdine's shoulders and looking directly into his confused eyes, Langdon spoke forcefully one word at a time.

"Put a smile on your face!"

Spangdine was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly moved the tongue in his mouth, with a bright smile on his face.

"Man, the show is about to begin!"

……

The fire lit up the sky of the [Lawless Zone] red.

In the explosion caused by the cauterization, heart-rending screams kept ringing out.

After walking out of the door, Langdon turned his back to the blazing flames. He took out a delicate lighter from his pocket, opened and closed it, and watched the flames flicker away.

"Hey! Job, did you lose your soul?"

A hand hugged his shoulder from behind, and an exaggerated smile appeared.

“You see, madness is like gravity, sometimes all it takes is a little nudge.”

"..."

"You do your part and I'll do mine."

Lit the last top [famous brand], Langdon took a deep breath.

"Spandyne, there's no next time."

The curls of smoke and the billowing smoke slowly rose into the sky together.
