Chapter 921: I Love Vigilantism, and Only If You Pay More
âIâm in New York. So, Mr. Wilson, you donât have to take a luxury business class flight tonight, nor do you have to stay in a four-star hotel. You can sleep in your own bed and get a good nightâs sleep,â said Luke slowly.
Pausing for a moment, he continued, âAlso, if you donât work harder, Mr. Wilson, youâll have to settle for the minimum 500 dollars for the information.â
Wadeâs face fell and he was full of regret for the missed jackpot. âThatâs too bad... Ah, I mean, thatâs great.â
âFix a place and time, and send the details to me. Preferably before seven tonight in New York city centre. I donât plan on taking a plane back to Los Angeles to meet you there.â Luke chuckled. âOnly when the money is in your pocket does it belong to you, right, Mr. Wilson?â
Wade: â...Okay.â
Luke hung up.
Selina finally complained, âHow did this guy survive until now? Is it only because heâs surrounded by people with hearing disabilities that he hasnât been killed?â
âOf course, he didnât become such a slag in one day,â Luke said unhurriedly. âIt takes 20 to 30 years to become a super cheap person. This can also be considered an innate talent.â
Selina laughed out loud. âI want to know how many of his classmates wanted to kill him when he was in school. Mm, and the teachers.â
Luke said, âHe might have been expelled way before that.â
Wadeâs message came very quickly:
Sister Margaretâs School for Wayward Children Bar, 7pm.
Selinaâs lips twitched when she read the long name of the bar and saw the word âSchool.â âDonât tell me this really is the school Wade went to? Isnât he afraid of being cursed by God?â
Luke said indifferently, âYou should trust that cheap people arenât afraid of being cursed, because too many people curse them.â
...
At half past six, Luke and Selina left in their old car.
It was now grayish-black and looked even more unremarkable. The license plates had also been changed out for fake ones.
Luke and Selina were still dressed like hip-hop young adults. They were also wearing caps, sunglasses, and masks.
Luke and Selina found the old bar in Harlem and entered.
The moment Luke stepped inside, he felt a sense of familiarity.
This place was similar to the bar in Los Angeles where he had met Wade.
The smell of alcohol, cigarettes, sweat, and vomit filled the air in the rundown bar. All the customers were fierce-looking, and looked like the kind that should have long been sent to the electric chair.
They went to the counter and asked for a bottle of Coke each.
There wasnât anything unusual-looking about the bartender with the long hair, buck teeth, and black-rimmed glasses. However, the price of a bottle of Coke amply demonstrated how much of a scam this bar was.
Perhaps it was because Luke and Selina werenât dressed like the others here.
Luke stuffed two 20-dollar bills into a glass jar on the counter and asked, âIs Wade here?â
The bartender glanced at him. âWhich Wade?â
Luke pondered for two seconds. âThe cheapest and most shameless one.â
The bartender said, âHe hasnât been here in days. Supposedly heâs gotten obsessed with a black woman as big as a hippo, the 400-hundred pound kind.â
Luke and Selina were lost for words.
Is your mouth related to Wadeâs?
At that moment, someone sat down at the counter. âIf you spread fake news about my wife again, do you think I wonât blow up your fake alcohol?â
The bartender snorted. âThen you can only drink water.â
The man threw a 5-dollar bill into the bartenderâs cash register. âGive me your fake whiskey blend.â
The bartender didnât move. â25 dollars.â
The person said, âWho told you to slander my wife just now? 5 dollars, or Iâll take 25 dollars from your money jar.â
Helpless, the bartender poured a glass of whiskey, which was just a thin layer of amber liquid in a glass half-full of ice. He then slammed the glass down in front of the man. âWade, take it easy. Donât get drunk and go back to the wrong house and bang the wrong wife.â
It was Wade.
Hearing that, he gave the bartender the middle finger, then ignored him. He smiled and said, âBoss, we meet again. What business do you have this time?â
Luke took a sip of his Coke. âSomeone posted a huge bounty yesterday. You know about it, right?â
Stumped for a moment, Wade immediately said, âI know. Youâre not asking me for information on those masked men, are you? I canât help you with that. Those masked men are all cuties. I love them. Theyâre the ones who fill this city with a cheerful and lively air...â
Of course, Wade wouldnât say that after watching Batmanâs video, even he had gone out with a mask on with the fancy name of âExecutioner of Justice.â
Of course, once he sentenced the bad guys, all their money went into his wallet; he had a good habit of not wasting anything.
However, he didnât want to cosplay Batman.
Batman was indeed very strong, but he was the âStrongest Wadeâ who was no weaker than anyone else.
So, he bought himself a dark red suit to show that he was different from Batman.
In fact, he felt that there were too many people cosplaying Batman on the streets, and the black armor was too ordinary. It didnât match his unique temperament and figure at all.
But one night, when he went out to âact heroically,â he ran into a few guys wearing similar dark red clothes who were abducting little kids.
He was furious at that time. He drew his sword and killed those kidnapping b*stards before dumping them in the river.
Not only did they wear similar dark red clothes, they also had long swords on their backs.
Except for the slightly looser dark red clothes, these bad guys actually looked similar to Wade.
Wade, who felt that he had been tricked for no reason, was naturally ruthless and killed the enemy.
After this encounter, Wade made a painful decision.
In the end, he added a few bits of black to his âbattle uniformâ â for example, the eyes of the mask were now black.
The red and black ensemble and his now tight-fitting suit finally helped Wade escape his counterfeit crisis.
So, when Luke mentioned the masked men, he decisively expressed his opinion.
He was one of the masked men. How could he help Luke catch these âcomradesâ? Unless... he paid more!
Wade was delighted. This time, he had to make this bigshot pay more.
Luke said, âNo, I want to know more about the hitmen.â
â...So, you have to give me a price that I canât refuse,â Wade said almost at the same time.
He was stunned. âWhat did you just say?â
