old dream

Chapter 83 Coercion
"Want another drink?"

The bartender thought that Colin wanted to refill the glass, but when he got closer, he saw that the wine in Colin's glass remained untouched.

"No, I'm just looking for you for something."

The young bartender felt vaguely that something was wrong.After all, it seems that this person is not here to drink at all.

He also asked questions before, which seemed a little suspicious.

The bartender has just come to work here, so he has been a little nervous.Worry about possible fires, or accidentally say something.The pistol on his belt gave him some courage, but that's about it.

After calling the bartender over, Colin just looked at him quietly and didn't say anything.

"Well, you managed to scare me."

He hesitated, thinking that it was just a joke, just like he used a gun to scare the guests:
"...you don't really want to make trouble, do you?"

"Don't pull that gun, it might be a good thing to wait for you."

Colin said empty-handedly:

"Otherwise I'll pin your first hand to the crotch."

Contrary to what he said, Colin put his hands on the bar, his palms empty, rather than threatening, he seemed to be showing his innocence.

He leaned a little closer:
"Don't make a sound either. I promise to get your tongue out before your rescuer comes."

Without any signs of danger, the bartender found that Colin's eyes were very close to those of the murderers who were still playing poker.

The bartender smiled dryly, trying to make sure the man wasn't joking.

He wanted to draw a gun just now, and also wanted to warn others.But before there was any actual action, Colin spoke out the corresponding threat.It was as if his every move was exactly what he expected.

"Don't back away," said Colin.

"Take a few steps back and I'll break a few of your legs."

Julio didn't seem to see what Colin was doing, staring at the empty wine glass in front of him.

Before entering the bar, Colin drugged himself.

At this time, he has gradually entered a state of excitation, the sclera is unnaturally red, and he can hardly restrain the urge to destroy, and his words have unconsciously brought aggression.

But in contrast to this mania, every muscle movement on the opponent's body seemed to be clearly visible, even if some were just unconscious twitches.

The young bartender almost thought that the person standing in front of him was not a human at all, but some kind of monster with only a tyrannical side.

"Where is your generator?" Colin asked hoarsely.

"In..." The bartender stammered to say the location.

"Don't talk." Colin interrupted him:
"Take me there."

…………

After letting Ricardo be optimistic about Julio, Colin left with the trembling bartender.

He always kept a distance of about twenty centimeters from the other party. Once the situation changed, he could reach out and crush the other party's throat.

Colin's eyes swept across the crowd, and looked at several gunmen who had mixed in in advance.

Before going to the bartender, Ricardo told him the basic information of the bar.There are currently nine enemies in the hall, but only five are experienced, and the rest are just laymen with guns to scare people.

At this point, most people's attention was attracted by the performance on the small stage, and no one noticed that a bartender walked away from the bar.

"We're not going to the generator." Colin suddenly whispered to the bartender:
"Take me to the wine store."

Because this is a temporary basement, the wine storage is not behind the bar.There are three compartments that have not been probed by Colin's people, and someone guarding it should be the account room.The other two are locked, and their purpose has not yet been determined.It is estimated that the power generation room and wine storage are among them.

The young bartender didn't know why Colin suddenly changed his destination when he was halfway through, but because of the constant chill coming from the back of his neck, he wouldn't be stupid enough to ask any more reasons.

The wine storehouse was originally next to the power generation room. Because he often went to get wine, he also had a key.

He acted more naturally, as if he only went to the wine store because there was not enough wine at the bar, trying not to think about what he would face in the end.

Even if Colin didn't kill him, I'm afraid those evil stars who hired him wouldn't let him go.

The basement was that big, and the two quickly passed through the crowd and gradually came to a dim corner.

…………

After the bartender unlocked the wine cellar, Colin pushed him in.Backhand closed the door.

The environment in the crowded wine store was poor and filthy, with many dried wine stains on the ground, and the soles of shoes were sticky.

Two half-person-height oak barrels on the shelf almost filled the cubicle.Under the shelf are some wooden boxes that have not been fully disassembled.

Colin opened one of the wooden boards, the box was filled with straw, and among the straws was buried low-quality wine of unknown origin, which should be the ones that Julio had drunk.If all four boxes are full, then there are about [-] bottles left in the room.

Even this kind of stuff can be sold for three ounces. It is not difficult to see that the original wine that has been kept in the city in recent months has been nearly exhausted.

But Colin diverted to the wine store halfway, of course, not just to confirm the stocks of the bootleggers.

He took out some thin wood chips that he had prepared in advance, and then glued them to the inner bottom of the wooden boxes one by one.

On the veneer, the mark of the Hidden Object technique is outlined with red graphite water.After that, if you activate the Find Object Technique again, you can re-confirm their location and find the whereabouts of these boxes of wine by the way.

There will be chaos in this underground bar for a while, but after the incident is over, he will not take these boxes of wine with him, after all, five-handed people will not be involved in the bootleg wine business.

So who will these boxes of wine end up in?Police station?Or some other bootlegger?

There is a certain probability that these wines will provide themselves with new clues.Like discovering the location of another speakeasy.

The Art of Finding Objects was originally just a tasteless spell to prevent coins from being lost, but after a little change of thinking, it has an effect comparable to a locator.

And he will get this information, I am afraid that Luka can not predict.
