Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 859 The Tail!

Suddenly someone was thrown out, which startled both Hu Ming and Bablu, but Bablu quickly recognized the person's identity.

It turned out he was the mad sailor, but just as Hu Ming and Bablu were about to help him up, someone else rushed out of the tavern and started punching and kicking the sailor.

The men only stopped when the sailor was being beaten so badly that he was lying on the ground unable to move.

"Damn it! You dare drink in my tavern without paying! I'll kill you!"

Just as those people stopped, a man who looked like the tavern owner suddenly pulled out a gun and pointed it at the water.

Seeing this, even Hu Ming couldn't help but frown.

In fact, firearms are quite common in Eria, which is unlike in China, and it always makes people worry about safety.

Seeing that the boss was about to kill the crazed sailor, Hu Ming hurriedly stepped forward and stopped him.

"Wait! I'll pay what he owes you!"

Hu Ming spoke decisively at this moment, and as soon as he finished speaking, Bablu immediately began to translate.

Upon hearing Bablu's words, the tavern owner suddenly revealed a strange smile.

"You'll pay? Ha! Fine! As long as you pay, I'll let him off the hook!"

As the tavern owner spoke, he held up a few fingers at Hu Ming.

When Hu Ming saw his fingers, he decisively took out money from his pocket and handed it to the other person.

However, just as Hu Ming was paying the bill, the tavern owner suddenly shook his head.

"Mr. Hu Ming! That's not the number he wants! He wants more!"

Bablu then relayed the tavern owner's message to Hu Ming.

However, when Hu Ming heard the amount the other party was asking for, he couldn't help but frown.

"Is this guy trying to rob me? The amount he's asking for is enough to buy his run-down tavern! Does he really think I'm a sucker?"

Hu Ming couldn't help but feel a little angry, while Babulu, standing to the side, helplessly shrugged.

"Sigh, they're the local bullies, and as far as I know, the forces behind them are quite powerful!"

"So Mr. Hu Ming, let's just leave this matter alone! Otherwise, it'll only cause trouble!"

Bablu began to persuade Hu Ming, and Hu Ming understood what Bablu was saying. After all, the situation here was complicated, and if things were not handled properly, it could really bring a lot of trouble.

However, the mad sailor was also very important to Hu Ming, so Hu Ming could not give up on him.

To ease the tension, Hu Ming pulled out two more stacks of money as a gesture of goodwill.

In Hu Ming's opinion, this price was enough to cover any bill, but just as Hu Ming showed his sincerity, the tavern owner was still not satisfied.

Seeing the boss's wicked smile, Hu Ming couldn't help but feel disgusted.

"Ugh! Are you forcing me to take action?"

Hu Ming muttered something to himself before putting the money away.

The moment Hu Ming put away the money, his figure rushed towards the tavern owner like a ghost.

In the blink of an eye, Hu Ming's speed was so fast that the tavern owner didn't even have time to react before Hu Ming had already grabbed his wrist.

At the same time, Hu Ming's other fist also struck his throat decisively.

Hu Ming had just the right amount of force in that punch, which made the tavern owner's eyes roll back and he almost couldn't breathe.

The moment Hu Ming made his move, the man next to the tavern owner reacted. However, by then, Hu Ming had already snatched the gun from the tavern owner's hand.

So before they could even take action, Hu Ming had already taken control of the entire situation.

"You'd better not move! Otherwise, I can't guarantee the gun won't accidentally go off!"

Hu Ming pointed his gun at the people next to him and fired, while Babulu tried to persuade them in the local language.

It was at this moment that the tavern owner finally caught his breath. The next second, just as he was about to explode in anger, Hu Ming smashed his forehead with the butt of his gun.

After being unexpectedly hit by Hu Ming again, the tavern owner finally became much more obedient.

"There's an old saying in our country: 'You're too kind to be given face,' and you've forced me into this situation!"

"I'm taking him away now, I don't think you have any objections!"

After Hu Ming finished speaking, he looked at Bablu beside him, and Bablu hurriedly began to translate.

Upon hearing Bablu's translation, the tavern owner, though reluctant, could only snort coldly when he thought of Hu Ming's ruthless methods.

"Hmph! You can leave now!"

As the tavern owner spoke, he made a gesture as if to release the person.

As soon as he finished speaking, the few people around him who had been itching to make a move finally began to back away.

Seeing this, Hu Ming gestured to Babulu to help the crazed sailor up from the ground and walk away.

Seeing that Bablu had brought the sailor into their vehicle, Hu Ming then disassembled the gun in his hand and threw it on the ground.

After doing all this, Hu Ming finally turned and walked away, leaving behind only the tavern owner's resentful eyes and a series of curses.

Inside the car, the crazed sailor was completely drunk and obviously couldn't be gleaned any information.

So Hu Ming decided to take him back to the hotel first and question him carefully after he sobered up.

As for what valuable information he could get out of him, Hu Ming wasn't sure. After all, the man in front of him was insane, and who knew if he would provide any reliable information?

After making the decision, Hu Ming and Bablu drove towards the hotel.

However, just as Hu Ming and Babulu were driving towards the hotel, another car was suspiciously following behind them.

This kind of stalking might be hard for others to detect, but for Hu Ming it was child's play.

So Hu Ming quickly noticed the tail following him, but he didn't know what the other party wanted to do.

"Bablu! Don't go back to the hotel yet! Drive around the city!"

When Hu Ming noticed the tail behind him, he had Bablu drive around in circles.

He felt he had to figure out the other party's identity first; he didn't want to feel like he was being watched, as that would be very uncomfortable.

At Hu Ming's prompting, Bablu immediately did as he was told and began circling around.

During this time, Hu Ming also learned about the surrounding terrain and finally had Bablu drive the car into a small alley.

"Alright! Turn it off! I'd like to see what the guy following behind is up to!"

Hu Ming got out of the car as he spoke.

As Hu Ming got out of the car, the tail following behind him finally stopped quietly.

Just as the car stopped, Hu Ming was already standing next to it!
