Chapter 497: Cat Ears Episode in the Bar
"Hello everyone, welcome to the stage of the band 'Shaking Ears'~"
The lights converged, and a girl with bunny ears wearing a bold bunny girl dress walked onto the stage. The real bunny ears were particularly clear and beautiful in the light, and her slender legs showed the vitality and strength of youth. This balance of strength and sexiness made her particularly charming.
She was like dancing, turning slightly in the only light on the stage, her steps were separated, like compasses, she jumped up and fell lightly, and led another girl with bunny ears out of the darkness. The two looked similar, only the color of the bunny ears was different. They were like twin sisters dancing a duet, and came to the center of the stage with the accompaniment of clear music. After that, the two held their fingers, their faces were close, and they looked at the many audiences in front of the stage, causing countless people to scream and cheer.
The almost piercing screams and shouts at the scene came one after another, and thousands of people gathered here, immersed in the gradually rising guitar and bass sounds.
This is the largest bar and nightclub in the central 5th district, "Manic Bumping Horns". Its icon is a raised neon rhino horn, which is particularly eye-catching.
In a corner of the bar, a young man in a suit sat at a small round table, which was out of tune with the atmosphere here. Behind him stood two followers, one was probably a secretary, and the other was a little sturdy, wearing tactical sunglasses, probably a bodyguard.
"Is Miss Black Cat not here yet?" He has been waiting here for half an hour, but still hasn't seen the cat-eared girl who didn't know each other.
A few months ago, he met a girl with excellent appearance and temperament on the street. He wanted to ask her to be a model to promote the newly opened store, so he invited her to a street restaurant. After the girl left, he was surrounded by the group of orcs in the restaurant.
After some explanation, he realized that he had offended the local forces, so he apologized, helped the restaurant to redecorate, and gave away a lot of his own high-end products.
He originally thought it was a bad luck, but he didn't expect that when he opened a new store, many companies and enterprises run by orcs came to support him, and they also specially supported him with several fox-eared dancers with excellent looks as models, which made the new store a hit and established itself in the Academy City.
"We, 'Huaishan Zi', can stand firm in the Academy City and obtain various conveniences, thanks to the gangster lady we met that day. Unfortunately, we have never known her true identity, so we can only settle for the second best and contact the cat-eared lady." This is what he said to many subordinates at a company meeting a few days ago.
Since the new store started operating, Milovan's voice in the family has risen sharply. The newly expanded business has opened up the situation and greatly improved the brand's popularity, which has made his status begin to catch up with his two older brothers.
But this is not enough. The success of the first store alone is a good start, but it is not enough to truly prove himself, and he cannot compete with the two brothers who have been in charge of the business for a long time. He must take advantage of this momentum and expand rapidly. Not only in the five central districts, but also in the Academy City, there must be at least 5 stores to complete the layout.
Since the first success came from that lady, why not repeat it along the road of success? The biggest advantage of humans over animals is that they can learn and accumulate experience, so he planned to contact the cat-eared girl again.
Unfortunately, not only did he not know the true identity of the gangster lady, but even the cat-eared girl was always elusive and could not be booked several times.
He had thought of sending someone to find a special agency to inquire about intelligence, but his subordinates said that local gangs must have contact with local agencies. If he placed an order in the morning, the other party might know it in the afternoon, which would only offend people for nothing.
So he had to give up this idea and asked the staff of the restaurant directly, hoping that they could tell him the whereabouts of the cat-eared girl.
After several visits to give gifts and show goodwill, a waiter at the restaurant finally told him quietly that if he wanted to find the cat-eared girl, he should come to this bar this afternoon.
"The newly debuted 'Shaking Ears' band is ours, so Mr. Cat will also go to support it. I can only tell you so much." The other party told Milovan this sentence.
Sitting in the noisy bar, Milovan looked at the bunny-eared sisters singing passionately on the stage and asked the people around him.
"Are they the lead singers of the band?"
"Should be. I'll ask for you." Upon hearing this, the assistant walked into the dance floor and found a roaring fan. After a few words, he finally asked what he wanted.
"Yes, the names of the two bunny-eared sisters are Dominica and Pamenica. They are the lead singers of this new band. It is said that they have just signed a music subsidiary of the "United Beasts". "
"United Beasts" ah..." Milovan recalled this famous giant enterprise.
Compared with other giant enterprises, the name of "United Beasts" tells us that it has a strong orc race culture, and this is indeed the case.
In the northern star regions where orcs gather, because the orcs were scattered in the early years and had low business talents, they were often squeezed by other giant enterprises for profits, so a business alliance to protect the interests of orcs was born.
At first, only a few large orc companies joined, and then many small and medium-sized orc-run companies also joined. Finally, it was slowly integrated into a real behemoth. Its business covers every corner of the northern star region, from food, clothing, housing and transportation, to education, medical care, practice, etc. Although its financial report is not good due to its bloated physique, its assets are still huge.
"So, the cat-eared girl should have a close relationship with the 'United Beasts'. I have heard that among the beastmen, gangs and commercial companies are almost one, but I didn't expect it to be true." Milovan understood why so many beastmen companies came to support him just by pleasing the cat-eared girl.
It seems that the relationship between beastmen is much closer than he imagined.
While the third heir of 'Huaishan Zi' was still sitting in a corner of the bar waiting patiently, in the VIP box on the second floor where the performance was watched live, Eluklu and Tilan were sitting on the sofa chatting about the two sisters on the stage.
"Their talents are really good, Tilan." Seeing the two girls he discovered were very popular, Eluklu was also very proud and happy.
"It's really good." Tilan was wearing a black dress today, matched with the quiet hair bundle, with a low-key and quiet beauty.
"Just now I heard the waiter say that there is a young man looking for you downstairs."
"Oh, you mean that, I remember, it's actually related to you, hehe." Elukelu suddenly remembered something funny and smiled.
"Hmm?" Tilan tilted her head and looked at the cat-eared singer beside her, curious about why she was in such a good mood.
"Do you remember that day when you were about to go back, but you were blocked on the road?" Elukelu helped Tilan recall.
"I remember, there was such a thing." Tilan soon realized something.
"So, he is the young man the waiter said."
"That's right, actually, for fun at that time, I also added a lot of identities to Tilan." Elukelu shook his ears, quite happy.
"Let me guess, you want me to continue acting." Seeing this, Tilan knew what Elukelu was thinking. This was not the first time she had encountered such a thing. In high school, Allen and his friends especially liked to do it, asking her to pretend to be cold or deliberately put on airs to scare and intimidate the representatives of other schools who met.
"Tilan is really smart. You understand what I say. That's great~~" Elukelu applauded.
"You are much better than Luo Fenghua and Feng Jianshang (Audney). Luo Fenghua always puts on the airs of an oriental lady and can't let go of her status. It's never fun to play with her. Feng Jianshang is a little more lively, but we don't have many topics to talk about and don't interact much."
"Aren't there Pulin and Jian Xiner?" Tilan was curious.
"Pulin, she's too, how should I put it, not cute enough to tease, Jian Xiner is even more evil than me, and I'm the one who's often teased, so it's not fun at all." Elukelu commented on several singers of similar age.
"What about Blanche and Shui Yanqing?" Tilan suddenly wanted to know what Elukelu thought.
"Blanche has only been in the field of singing girls for less than a year. She is just like a child. You can't take her with you for everything. She is still too young."
"Although Orles is a year younger than me, she debuted earlier than me. Elves like to pretend to be young, huh."
"Shui Yanqing? I don't have much contact with her. She often deals with ambitious giant companies. I can't talk to her."
"Is that so? Okay, what do you want me to do? Let me make it clear first. I have other things to do in the afternoon and can't stay too long." It was two o'clock in the afternoon, and she had to meet up with Sogana before four o'clock.
"Are you still busy with the pet hospital task over the weekend? Okay, it won't delay you for long." Eluklu thought for a while.
"Listen to my arrangements..." As she said that, she leaned close to Tilan's ear and whispered, not knowing whether she was trying to prevent someone from eavesdropping.
Half an hour later, the impromptu band took a few minutes to rest for the intermission, and Milovan, who had been sitting for a long time below, finally received an invitation from the bartender.
"Come with me, the young lady wants to see you." Although the tone was a little arrogant, Milovan didn't feel anything strange about this behavior, after all, the other party's status was much higher than his.
But he didn't quite understand whether the young lady was the representative of the local gang or the spokesperson of the "United Beasts" in the local area.
Following the waiter, he walked into the side door beside the bar, entered the passage behind, and then went upstairs. This should be a small club. There were many orcs sitting there drinking and chatting, and most of them were around Sequence 6 and powerful.
Crossing the hall, he came to a door. There were two lion-maned strong men guarding the door. Just walking past the two people, the body temperature that radiated was like a furnace.
With a nervous mood, Milovan stepped into the door, and the two followers behind him were left outside.
The room was very quiet. When the door behind him was closed, the noisy bar sounds outside seemed to be separated from another world.
There were no decorations here, only a frosted high chair with a dark red rose pattern. Milovan held his breath and slowly looked up to the stage, where he saw the black-haired girl sitting on the chair. She folded her hands on her knees, and her classical skirt covered her knees, revealing only her slender ankles and the black leather shoes she was wearing.
The color of her socks was slightly grayer than her shoes, outlining the girl's beautiful curves, but that was all. The dress above did not reveal any skin, and only the white wrists and collar could show the girl's attractive parts.
Apart from the black-haired girl sitting on the chair, there were two orc strong men standing beside her. They were more than two meters tall, and their thick fingers seemed to be able to crush Milovan's head with a slight twist.
The room was a little too quiet, and Milovan could even hear the sound of his own heartbeat and throat movement.
He nervously lowered his head again.
"Hello, madam."
For more than ten seconds, he didn't hear any response and didn't dare to raise his head. He just waited. Just when he started to feel uneasy, the other party finally spoke.
"I have an impression of you."
The girl's soft voice made Milovan let go of his worries. The tension and apprehension surging in his mind waited for everything to settle down the moment the voice sounded.
"I'm sorry for bothering you before." He wanted to say something flattering, but because he didn't understand, he didn't dare to say more, for fear of missing the point and annoying people.
"I have forgotten what happened before. I already know your purpose of coming today." These words immediately made clear what Milovan wanted to say most, but made him not know what to say next.
"It's okay to open a store, and it's okay to protect you from vicious competition from other peers." The girl's words were unhurried.
"It's just that you have to do something for us when needed."
Milovan wanted to ask what things would be, but he couldn't speak because he found that he had no right to refuse, or if he wanted to refuse, he should not step into this door.
Since you have come to beg someone, it is natural for them to make demands. At this time, if you bargain, you will offend the other party. It is better not to come.
Is this how gangs do things, Milovan thought.
"Yes, I understand." He nodded in agreement and even bent down to salute.
"That is, if you ask me to do something, how will you notify me?" If he doesn't ask this clearly, he won't be able to tell the difference at any time. Then he can't ask the waiter of that restaurant for confirmation.
The girl sitting opposite raised her hand, and a strong orc man next to her took out a chip card and handed it to Milovan.
"The other party will show the key, and this chip card can confirm it."
"Thank you, Miss." Milovan accepted it carefully.
After that, the black-haired girl put her hands on her knees again. Her eyes were quiet, looking at the man with his head bowed a few meters in front of her.
"You can go back today, and in the next month, put the band's new album in a prominent position."
"Band? Ah, I understand." It should be the band Shaking Two Ears that is performing on the first floor of the bar.
Putting away the chip card, Milovan bowed again, and then carefully exited the room. He was relieved when he returned to the noisy hall again.
Strangely enough, even though the girl inside spoke softly, it put a lot of pressure on him, giving him a strange sense of mystery and oppression, as if everything he thought in his heart was being seen through.
By the way, how dared I stop the other party in the first place, and was the person I was talking to in the restaurant that day really the same person?
He couldn't think about it, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Milovan touched the chip in his collar pocket and suddenly felt confident to show off his talents in Academy City.
I’m optimistic about my dad and my two elder brothers, how I led ‘Huaishan Purple’ to rise and forge ahead.
In the past, I always didn't understand that in those movies and TV dramas, it was necessary to find a boss or a big brother for oneself, and to be the master of one's own affairs. Now Milovan suddenly understood.
With a backer, I can walk with a bit of arrogance. This kind of confidence is really comforting.
…
After Milovan walked downstairs and left, Elukelu also walked out of the hidden secret door in the room.
"Wow, Tilan acted so well. I thought it was real just now. I'm a little nervous." She threw herself at the black-haired girl sitting on the chair, as if to break the solemnity Tilan created. Relieve the tension in your mind.
Tilan reluctantly hugged the cat-eared singer who threw herself into her arms, and then looked at the two tall orcs beside her. Elukelu wasn't afraid of being laughed at in front of these orcs.
"Hmph, they don't dare." Knowing what Tilan was thinking, Elukelu stood up and smiled slyly like a little devil.
"Who am I? I am the unpredictable destiny, the unexpected mischief, the gorgeous purple who is always cute and smart - Elukelu."
Although she looks playful and lazy, this cat-eared singer is not as silly and sweet as she appears. Instead, she has the freedom and willfulness to understand everything and write her own life wantonly. This kind of elusive agility , and vitality are what makes her so moving as a singer.
No matter how coquettish, silly, impulsive, mischievous or playful she is, it will be beautified and made reasonable by those who like her.
With this kind of personality charm, Eluklu's reputation among the orcs has always been high. Even among humans, there are still many people who like her. If one day she becomes obedient and acts only for profit, it will be It makes people uncomfortable and loses the charm of nature.
If you were to ask Elukelu what the meaning of doing this today was, she would definitely answer, don't you think it's very interesting?
The world becomes happy and moving.
This is her goal, to make this increasingly mundane and boring world become lively and interesting again. Only such a world will be more exciting.
Humans are animals that cannot stand boredom and boredom, and the same is true for cats.
