Last Totem Novel - Chapter 25

Chapter 25 Anger
A few minutes later, Tie Zha came out of the back alley and went to a small bar in the east of the city.

This small bar was called the “big wooden barrel”, and the furnishings inside were the same as the other bars in the east of the city. They were all arranged in a narrow space with a dozen or so long tables. The only difference was that the bar had a round, short barrel as a chair, which could be considered a landmark feature.

Tie Zha sat down in the corner of the bar, then asked the boss for a glass of beer, and then quietly waited for the target to appear. He returned to Sand City this morning and contacted Big Fatty immediately. The fat man did not disappoint him this time (at least not yet) and had already followed his instructions to find out who was in the photo.

Lena’s name was Joseph. According to the fat guy’s investigation, this Joseph had only left Iron Mountain Town two months ago to arrive at Sand City. For some reason, Joseph had just arrived in Sand City and had climbed into the Rogers’ relationship, becoming a guard of the Rogers’. Rumor has it that Joseph met Riley Roland, the famed trash third young master of the Roland family, at first glance and was then assigned to work in the family by Riley. Big Fatty suggested that Joseph was now a member of the Rogers, and if he wanted to kill him, it would be best to do so in secret.

According to Lard-bucket’s investigation, Joseph came to the bar at around 8 p.m. every night and didn’t leave until late at night. Tie Zha came here to wait for Joseph. He was prepared to personally observe for a while, and then find an opportunity to make a move.

At this moment, there was only one guest in the bar, Iron Slag. Bars usually didn’t have much business during this period of time, and it wasn’t until after 9 p.m. that they would gradually increase in number. Tie Zha quietly watched the clock in the bar and occasionally took a sip of beer.

With the swing of the bell hammer, minutes and seconds passed …

By 8:10 p.m., Joseph and his two friends arrived at the Big Bucket Bar. They sat down at a long table beside Tie Zha and began to order with a giggle. In the meantime, Joseph ordered two large plates of charred beef and a large glass of ale.

“Big brother, you’re rich now. You want so much food, can you finish it?” Joseph’s friend asked.

“Half of you will be given later. Isn’t that interesting?” Joseph said straightforwardly.

“Big brother! You’re really interesting. You said that you’ve only been in Sand City for a few days and you’ve already climbed into the Rogers’ house. What’s the trick? Teach this little brother!”

Joseph smiled and did not answer the question. After a while, the boss brought the wine and vegetables, and Joseph and the others started to spit and swallow …

Not long after, Joseph had drunk three rounds and was already a little drunk. He lit a cigarette and said leisurely, “Do you really want to know?” Before they could reply, Joseph took out a small photo from his pocket and threw it on the table.

At this moment, Tie Zha, who had excellent eyesight, glanced at the photo and immediately narrowed his eyes. The photo showed a very good-looking woman in her early twenties with slender eyes, a wide face and a sharp chin, and a faint smile on her face.

“Wow! This is a beautiful girl!” “It looks too spicy!” Joseph’s two friends looked at the photo and exclaimed in surprise.

“This woman is Tieshan Town’s eldest sister, Lena Yucoris.” Joseph leaned forward and whispered, “I gave her picture to Third Young Master. Third Young Master likes it.”

“What’s the use of liking it?” “How could anyone else fall for him?” “That’s right, who doesn’t know about that cripple from the Rogers …”

“Shut up!” Joseph interrupted his friend roughly and said in a low voice, “Don’t mention that word in front of me in the future, or get lost as far as you can.”

Joseph’s two friends immediately nodded in agreement like chickens pecking at rice. Then, Joseph continued, “That stinking woman is the illegitimate daughter of the Xerox family. She doesn’t have a high status in the Xerox family. Would she be sent to Tie Shan Town to be the sheriff where the birds don’t shit?”

Therefore, I gave Third Young Master an idea. That stinking woman is twenty years old this year, and her term of office as sheriff is only three years. At the time of the new term, the Hiroshi family would definitely not let her continue to be the police chief of Iron Mountain Town. At that time, they would arrange for her to get married.

However, with that stinking woman’s illegitimate status, no one from a large clan was willing to marry her. At this time, as long as Third Young Master went to propose marriage, he would naturally be able to succeed. “I told Third Young Master that as long as you can marry her back, you can play whatever you want in the future. It doesn’t matter if you play crippled. In any case, the Xerox family won’t stand up for an illegitimate daughter.”

“Gao! Gao Ming!” “Big brother, you’re amazing!” Joseph’s two friends smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

Hearing these words, Tie Zha was so furious that he almost crushed the glass. He took several deep breaths before temporarily suppressing his tyrannical emotions. Otherwise, he would immediately explode and cut off the Joseph in front of him. But doing so could offend the Rogers, and could cause him unnecessary trouble.

Just as Iron Slag was thinking about what weapon to use to deal with Joseph, the bar door was pushed open. Tie Zha looked up and saw a girl walking in. He had met this woman, the account manager who had received him at the motorcycle shop this morning.

Su Yun twisted her waist and went to the bar. She sat on the high bench and snapped her fingers. The owner of the bar immediately greeted him with a big smile and asked, “Miss Su, do you have any instructions?”

“A glass of Bloody Mary.” “Alright ~”

When the boss was mixing wine, Su Yun habitually looked around and found a familiar figure sitting in a corner of the bar. Soon, the owner of the bar pushed a cocktail in front of Su Yun. Su Yun picked up the goblet filled with scarlet liquid and twisted her butt to sit at the table of the little black horse.

“Handsome guy, why are you drinking wine here alone ~” Su Yun said as she took a sip of the blood wine.

“Do we know each other?” Tie Zha only wanted to quickly send this woman away, so he used the simplest and most brutal method to show that he didn’t know her.

“Uh” Su Yun was choked speechless and almost spat out the wine in her mouth. She did not expect the little black horse in front of her to be so dragged, pretending not to recognize her. So she raised her voice and said, “You must be Mr. Tie. I introduced you to the flying fish of the sand sea this morning.”

As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention of listening.

Young and beautiful women attracted the attention of others wherever they went. Therefore, when Su Yun walked to the table in Tie Zha, Joseph intentionally or unintentionally glanced at it.

When Joseph heard the woman say “Mr. Iron”, he suddenly remembered that in Iron Mountain Town he had heard that Lena had a little lover called Iron Slag. In this world, there weren’t many people surnamed Tie. At least, he had only heard of such a person surnamed Tie. Although he had never seen iron slag before, he had heard others describe it. It was said that Tie Zha was a sixteen or seventeen year old youth who carried a thick straight machete with him. His personality was gloomy and fierce, and he acted mercilessly.

Thinking of this, Joseph turned his head slightly and looked at Mr. Tie in the corner.

At the same time, Tie Zha raised his head. He was about to answer Su Yun’s question when he suddenly discovered that Joseph was looking at him. The moment their gazes collided, the air seemed to freeze.

The next second, Joseph got up and ran! However, he was just an ordinary person, how could he possibly run past an evolver of type B1? Therefore, just as Joseph was about to pull open the wooden door of the bar, a tremendous force came from behind him.

Joseph slammed his head into the door and was kicked out of the bar by the slag! Immediately afterwards, the iron slag pulled out of Merlin’s left wheel and struck Joseph’s head with its thumb!

“Bang!” A loud explosion sounded. Joseph’s head was directly shattered! Blood and brain fluid splashed all over the floor.

Tie Zha coldly snorted and put away Merlin’s revolver. Then, he stepped onto the red comet that was parked at the entrance of the bar, tightened the accelerator and rushed out of the city.

When the roar of the motorcycle gradually faded away, the four people in the bar slowly regained their senses. In the scene just now, the young man’s killing methods were too vicious, so much so that they didn’t even dare to move. The owner of the bar picked up the phone trembling and dialed a group of numbers. He said to the microphone in shock, “Kill … Kill!”

Ten minutes later, Tie Zha drove out of Sand City and sped south.

Just now, he had killed Joseph in front of a few people, which meant that the Sand City Autonomous Region would know about this matter. Although Tie Zha didn’t have much of a problem with the legitimacy of the killings, she only needed to issue an official arrest warrant as Iron Mountain Town’s sheriff. But doing so would offend the Rogers. After all, Joseph was hired by them, and it was a matter of the family’s face. According to the formal procedures, Lena should first issue a wanted poster, and then the Sand City Autonomous Council and the Rogers should negotiate with each other. Joseph could not be executed until the two sides reached an agreement.

However, if this procedure was followed, Joseph would probably have escaped to the ends of the earth. Tie Zha had already been enraged by Joseph’s insults to Lena. He could never let Joseph live on in this world.

However, what Joseph mentioned just now did give Tie Zha a headache.

The towns around Sand City, such as Tieshan Town, were usually managed by the Sand City Autonomous Society’s police chief. The sheriff would change every six years, and every time it happened, it would be the time for the four families and the five organizations of Sand City to compete for the benefits of each other.

It had been three years since Lena left the family at the age of seventeen to work in Iron Mountain Town, and she still had three years left. However, after three years, the Syros family would definitely not fight for the position of Iron Mountain Town’s sheriff. Because by that time, Lena could already get married. When she had the protection of her husband’s family, the Hiroth family would no longer need to take care of her.

However, as Joseph had said, Lena was an illegitimate daughter, and the marriage awaiting her might not be happy. Under normal circumstances, people from large families would definitely not want to marry her. Unless there were people with major flaws, such as that trash from the Rogers, everyone in Sand City knew that he was not a proper worker and often played with dead women. Moreover, there were several people like Riley Roger in the big families of Sand City.

In short, Lena might fall victim to political marriage in such a situation.

Tie Zha would never allow such a thing to happen. Not to mention anything else, based on Lena’s care for him over the past three years, he should try his best to help her get through this difficult situation.

However, when he faced this matter, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

After all, he was still too small …
