Twisted Dreams-Chapter 279 - 346: Do You Still Remember Me?

Crow's expression noticeably changed upon hearing the name Demon Club.

Elder He slightly squinted his eyes.

The Black Emperor indeed knows about the Demon Club.

Crow pondered for a moment, then said:

"It's better if you don't inquire."

Elder He sighed:

"Of course, I know that the Demon Club is not a normal influence.

However, an Extraordinary Influence existing in Xia Country, and the officials have no intelligence on them, makes me uneasy."

Crow tilted his head, looking at Elder He:

"What are you worried about?"

Elder He said:

"I fear the Demon Club might bring chaos to Xia Country."

That statement was a lie.

Elder He was not afraid of the Demon Club causing chaos in Xia Country; he was unfamiliar with the Demon Club.

As the leader in charge of the Extraordinary World in Xia Country, being so unfamiliar with an Extraordinary Organization made him scared.

Crow laughed heartily:

"The Demon Club would never endanger Xia Country."

Elder He frowned:

"How can the Black Emperor be so sure?"

Crow stopped laughing, staring at Elder He:

"Would you casually burn the flower bed at your doorstep?

Would you go out of your way to harm the insects in the flower bed?

No matter how strong the Demon Race and humans are in your eyes, they are incredibly weak for the Demon Club.

Every Extraordinary person in the world appears as mere mortals in the eyes of the Demon Club."

Elder He was stunned.

The Extraordinary people of the world, in the eyes of the Demon Club, are mortals?

Indeed, the Demon Club might be an extraordinarily powerful force that has existed for countless ages!

He awkwardly said:

"So, the Demon Club has existed for so many years, and they have no rivals?"

Elder He was trying to probe Crow.

Crow mysteriously smiled and pointed to the sky:

"I said unmatched in the world, not in the heavens."

Elder He's face suddenly stiffened.

The sky, the heavens?

Seeing Elder He like this, Crow was elated inside.

Although the outcome of this negotiation was good, from the start, Elder He had the upper hand, directing the flow of the negotiation, appearing to know everything and having victory in hand.

Seeing Elder He's bewildered appearance now, Crow was secretly pleased.

In saying these words, Crow actually had his own intentions.

He wanted to shroud the Demon Club with a veil of mystery in front of the Security Administration.

No matter how hard he thinks, Elder He would never imagine that he was merely Li Yang's crow, and a few years ago, Li Yang was just a destitute university graduate.

After speaking, Crow transformed into a crow and flew into the distance.

He had other things to do.

He had promised Ye Fan to rescue Ye Fan's master.

...

Nighttime, Imperial Capital, Mandala Bar.

A bright-eyed girl was working hard with a broom in the bar.

Her name is Zhang Qian, she's the daughter of the Zhang Family, and Zhang Xiaoyi's sister.

After running away from home, she ended up in Mandala Bar.

This place is amazing; every day she can see the owner Qin Ming granting people's wishes with mysterious drinks.

It's filled with infinite allure for her rebellious phase.

The owner Qin Ming is also a magical guy.

The infamous online novel "Demon Bar" causing a stir online was written by Qin Ming.

Although "Demon Bar" is still unfinished, a movie company has already bought its rights.

This shows the book's immense popularity online.

It's rumoured that many actresses have been scrambling to play the role of the female lead, Enchanting Demon.

Qin Ming was typing at the bar, sneaking glances at the graceful Zhang Qian.

Actually, the Enchanting Demon in the novel is based on Zhang Qian.

For Qin Ming, this pretty, rebellious, generous girl counts as a top-tier Enchanting Demon.

Time gradually passed.

Qin Ming stretched his waist and glanced around the bar; there weren't many customers left.

Zhang Qian was wiping tables with a cloth.

Qin Ming never thought life could be so carefree.

Endless inspiration and the companionship of a pretty girl.

He looked at the computer's time; it was already 3 AM.

Qin Ming said:

"Qianqian, there shouldn't be anyone left, if you're tired, go rest."

Zhang Qian shook her head like a rattle.

Every day, interesting and magical things happen at this bar.

She didn't want to miss anything.

At this moment, the doorbell sounded.

Zhang Qian immediately said:

"Welcome!"

She was about to greet the guest but her face turned pale the moment she saw the guest.

The newcomer was a young boy.

Wearing a Tang suit, holding an oil paper umbrella, and carrying a smoking pipe.

The Xie Family's bizarre young master, Xie Qilin!

Xie Qilin's face showed signs of injury, suggesting he had just been in a fierce battle.

Since becoming the head of the Security Administration's Special Investigation Unit, he was either fighting or on his way to fight almost every day.

He had no personal rights, completely at the beck and call of Zheng Qian.

The Senior Administrator position was merely for convenience in handling cases, with no personal benefits whatsoever.

Xie Qilin's fatigue waned slightly upon seeing Zhang Qian, smiling he said:

"Your name is Zhang Qian, right? You're actually here."

Zhang Qian swallowed hard.

Horrifying memories of Xie Qilin surged like a tide.

She didn't even notice the cloth slipping from her hand.

Qin Ming frowned seeing this scene.

He didn't know Zhang Qian's identity but could see she wasn't from an ordinary family.

He had met Xie Qilin before, who was also definitely not an ordinary person.

Could it be they had a grudge?

Qin Ming said:

"Qianqian, come tidy up the bar."

Zhang Qian quickly ran to the bar, clutching Qin Ming's shirt tightly, terrified.

Back then, Xie Qilin nearly killed her!

Xie Qilin walked to the bar, sat down, and stared darkly at Zhang Qian.

Qin Ming shielded Zhang Qian and said calmly:

"It's been a while, is your business finished?"

Zhang Qian was surprised.

The boss knew the bizarre kid from the Xie Family?

Xie Qilin still wore a gentle smile:

"Thanks to you, I failed. Now I'm just a worker, get me a drink."

Qin Ming turned to the kitchen, mixed a drink, and placed it before Xie Qilin.

Xie Qilin kept his eyes on Zhang Qian, like a murderous beast ready to strike.

Once more, the doorbell rang.

Qin Ming looked towards the entrance:

"Welcome."

Zhang Qian frowned slightly; the new guest also seemed unusual.

It was a youngster dressed in black with long hair.

Nowadays, it's rare to see men with waist-length hair, especially young ones.

Typically, long-haired men give off a messy vibe.

However, this youngster was handsome.

He had an aura about him, blending gentleness with a hint of dominance.

Qin Ming watched the youngster approaching the bar and asked:

"What can I get you?"

Crow took a seat at the bar:

"I'm looking for someone."

Qin Ming sensed something amiss.

Counting the black-haired boy, there were only four people here. Who was he looking for?

Xie Qilin found the voice familiar and turned his head.

He saw the boy tilting his head, looking at him, his eyes filled with murderous intent!

Xie Qilin suddenly stood up, hastily backing away, his face full of horror:

"Black Emperor!"

Crow took a new glass from the bar, poured in the wine Elder He gifted, and said softly:

"So you remember this king."

Qin Ming and Zhang Qian exchanged glances.

This king?

To refer to oneself this way, either it's terminal chuunibyou or there's a backstory.

Evidently, given the black-haired boy's presence, coupled with Xie Qilin's reaction, he was the latter.
