One must bow their head when under the eaves of another's roof. With Tianmei having two stars by her side, they were no match for her. Thus, even though Tianmei's request was somewhat baffling, Yuehai could only nod in agreement.
As they left with Chen Peiyue, the latter curiously asked, "What did you say to her? Why can we suddenly leave?"
Yuehai naturally did not dare to reveal the truth. Not only had Tianmei made a request, but he himself could not bear to admit it.
It had to be buried in his heart forever!
"It was nothing much. She seemed to have mistaken me for an old enemy of hers. Now that she's realized her mistake, of course she let us go."
Chen Peiyue hummed in response and didn't think much of it.
However, as the two of them had just walked out of the entrance, in the backstage area of a bar in the entertainment district of Meicheng, the Senlang brothers held their breath and hid behind a piece of equipment.
This equipment was likely used to house large audio equipment, and it was more than enough to block the line of sight of the two.
Less than five meters from the backstage entrance, the bearded man was looking around with a confused expression.
"That's strange, where are they? Could they have spotted me?"
After entering, he could still see the backs of the two. He had originally intended to follow them until they reached a secluded spot before making his move. However, after a round of drinks, he had completely lost sight of them.
What puzzled him was that he could sense that the Senlang brothers' strength was not as good as his, and he had concealed his aura and was wearing a mask.
How could they still recognize him?
Unaware, the two brothers behind the equipment dared not even breathe, their nerves taut.
It was only after the footsteps receded that Senlang breathed a slight sigh of relief, but his brow furrowed again immediately.
"We've been targeted."
"But why? Did they discover us?"
Senlang shook his head. "I don't know. Perhaps he has naturally keen senses."
Although such people were rare, Senlang had encountered them before. A few years ago, someone much weaker than him had noticed him just by a glance.
Moreover, the bearded man's strength was superior to theirs.
However, these were no longer the重點 (zhòngdiǎn - important point/focus).
"Then what about our boss? If he's here, we can't find anyone!"
This was indeed a difficult problem. Their most urgent task was to find Black Blade first, as things had already exceeded expectations, and no one knew exactly what had happened.
Li Chonglou had instructed them to follow Black Blade, which was undoubtedly entrusting Black Blade to their protection. If anything happened to him, not only would they be unable to return to the company, but they would also not dare to stay in Shangjing!
"Let's wait a bit longer. If they don't leave in ten minutes, we'll think of another way. There are so many ordinary people here; I doubt he'd dare to make a move."
Senlang made up his mind, and the two could only continue to hide there. There were at least a few hundred people in the bar, so the other party couldn't possibly check every corner.
However, at that moment, a staff member suddenly appeared beside them.
The sudden appearance of two figures startled the staff member.
"Who are you two? What are you doing here?"
The backstage of a bar was generally off-limits to unauthorized personnel, and the staff member's expression immediately turned vigilant.
As soon as he spoke, Senlang knew they were in trouble.
However, in their current situation, it was not convenient to act. They could only repeatedly apologize to the staff member and then try to walk back outside.
But this action made the staff member believe that the two of them had done something wrong and were trying to flee the scene, so he pointed his finger.
"Stop right there, you can't leave until you explain yourselves!"
A hint of annoyance flashed across Senlang's heart. He subconsciously glanced towards the entrance and, sure enough, the bearded man was already standing there.
Although he was wearing a mask, his sharp eyes were still fixed on them.
"Go!"
Without any hesitation, at Senlang's low shout, the two brothers instantly vanished from their spot. The vigilant staff member merely saw a blur before his eyes, followed by a gust of wind brushing past him.
The two had disappeared.
"Damn it!"
The staff member instinctively took two steps back, rubbing his eyes, but there was still no one in sight.
"Could I be hallucinating from staying up all night these past few days?"
The staff member patted his head, but then another gust of wind blew past him, the force of which even stung his face.
"Fuck, is this haunted?"
The man's face suddenly turned pale, and with dark circles under his eyes, he fled outside in a panic.
Meanwhile, the Senlang brothers had reached the deepest part of the backstage. Fortunately, there was a back door to exit the bar.
"Quick, let's go back first!"
Although the bearded man was their target, his strength was at the third level. If a fight broke out, it would likely take less than a minute to finish them!
However, what they hadn't expected was that the bearded man's speed was much faster than they had anticipated. Not long after they had exited the bar, the other party had already caught up.
"Brother!"
Senlang suddenly roared, and the two turned back in unison, throwing a punch. The bearded man's expression changed instantly. In his haste, he could only raise his arm to block.
The two fists landed squarely on his arm, and the immense impact sent him flying backward.
The two brothers, with perfect coordination, immediately turned and fled, not lingering at all!
"Bang!"
The bearded man's body smashed into some nearby杂物 (zázhì - sundries/clutter), his entire figure instantly submerged in a pile of black plastic bags. But the next moment, a dark shadow shot out from within.
Pale yellow grass was blown away from his hair. A strong killing intent rose on the bearded man's face!
He never expected that two mere first-level individuals would dare to sneak attack him. The reason for his previous speed was that he had used all his internal energy on his feet.
His arm still ached from that punch, a clear sign of being caught off guard.
The back door of the bar led to a wide road, with neat potted plants on both sides, but they were only half a person's height, providing a clear view. Although the two reacted quickly, they were still spotted.
"Still trying to escape?"
At the same time, the staff member who had been frightened and thought he had encountered a ghost had also attracted the attention of his supervisor.
It was necessary to pay attention; this was no place for someone to panic with such a nervous expression.
The supervisor on duty directly pulled the man aside.
"What are you doing! Do you still want to keep your job!"
"It's not that, sir. I think I just saw something unclean!"
Faced with the supervisor's scolding, the man appeared somewhat wronged. His words, however, caught the supervisor's attention.
"What unclean thing? Explain yourself clearly!"
The supervisor directly reprimanded him in a low voice.
