Wow! My wife is beautiful and obedient, everyone envies her!

Nick stopped arguing with Asa's arrogance and compromised by taking them to a pub.

Haven's Tavern is a mixed bag of people. The entrance is underground. You have to go down the underground stairs, turn a corner, and walk through a narrow passage to reach Haven's Tavern.

The Haven Tavern, built underground, has poor ventilation and is filled with the smell of cheap liquor, as well as various cheap cigarettes and cigars.

Although the tavern's ambiance wasn't great, it was packed with people playing drinking games, cards, and chess. Some were even drunk and rambling incoherently.

Inside the tavern, there was a small display stand where four men with graying temples were playing instruments that Qi Yuan couldn't name.

The music played was cheerful and lively, adding a unique kind of noise to the absurd chaos of the tavern.

After looking around the tavern, Asha also smelled the strong, pungent smell of alcohol. She turned her head and whispered to Qi Yuan, "Are you alright?"

"fine."

Although the smell of alcohol and cigarettes in the tavern was unpleasant, Qi Yuan's alcohol allergy wasn't so severe that he couldn't stand the smell at all.

“Let’s find a quiet place,” Asa said to Nick.

"Then let's go to my usual spot."

Nick looked at the middle-aged, burly man mixing drinks at the counter. The man met Nick's gaze, said nothing, and simply nodded slightly.

Nick didn't say anything, and led Qi Yuan and the others to a spot he frequented.

The seats are located near the exhaust fan, with a small wooden board on each side blocking the view of the guests in front and behind.

The exhaust fan, which had been there for who knows how many years, swayed very slowly, but it did manage to remove some of the smell from the pub, making the air feel slightly better when sitting here.

Soon, a blonde woman dressed in a maid's outfit approached. She looked at Nick warmly and asked, "Mr. Nick, what would you like to drink tonight?"

"Bring up those two bottles of wine that I treasure, and another order of fried potato wedges."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The tavern's customers were all men. When faced with young and pretty waitresses, some customers would secretly pat their butts. However, the waitresses who worked there were used to these men's actions and didn't react much to it.

Soon, Nick's treasured wines and potato wedges were served.

However, before Qi Yuan could pinpoint his target and gather information, a man with a full beard and a strong smell of alcohol squeezed into their table.

"Hiccup... Nick, isn't this one of your treasured bottles from the tavern? Hiccup, who are they? Who are they that deserve such good wine?"

The man had already drunk one round; his cheeks were flushed and his eyes were glazed.

Nick looked at him and greeted him, "A friend from Juecheng. You know, you can't treat a friend from that place to cheap wine."

"Hahaha! A friend from Juecheng, this must be a very important friend, hiccup. If he weren't important, you wouldn't have brought him here, hiccup."

As he spoke, the man put his hand on Nick's shoulder. "Brother Nick, hiccup, things have been quite lively in Diak lately. Noah Davis just arrived from Juecheng, and now you have friends coming from Juecheng. I heard from someone, hiccup, that you've met Noah Davis. These newcomers you brought along, could they be from the Davis family? Hiccup!"

The man's words immediately drew the attention of Qi Yuan and the others.

Seeing the man's drunken appearance, Qi Yuan could only conclude that the man was talking nonsense while drunk. After all, in this state, he might not even remember meeting Nick at the bar that night when he woke up.

Nick smiled and said, "People from the Davis family aren't that easy to come by. Besides, I've already established a relationship with Mr. Noah, so I don't need anyone else's help."

"You've gotten involved with the Davis family? Hiccup, how did you get involved?"

"With the help of a friend, the Davis family has now handed over the coal mine in the Diassi district to my transport team. Gordon, you have a lot of people in your organization, so arrange for a few people to come and help my transport team tomorrow, and also arrange a few trucks."

“No, no.” Gordon clapped his hands with a hiccup, then laughed, “I just got a big job today. Someone asked me to transport a batch of goods to Qiulin District next door. My truck and men have to go to Qiulin District to make the trip. After I’m done, I’ll come back to help you.”

"Gordon, your convoy has more vehicles and people than mine. What kind of cargo requires so many people and vehicles?"

"I don't know, but they offered three times the price. Old Gordon, I haven't taken on such a big order in a long time. They even gave me a deposit. I'm so happy that I'm bringing my brothers to the tavern for a good drink today! Hehe... hiccup."

Gordon chuckled, clearly in a good mood.

Nick lowered his eyebrows slightly. For those of them in the transport team, as long as the money is right, they can transport anything.

Gordon received an order for three times the price, which suggests the goods being transported are unusual, especially considering Noah received such an order during his time in Gundia.

Seeing Gordon's drunken state, Nick asked, "Gordon, do you know why the head of the Davis family came to Gangdia in person?"

"Hehe, hiccup, didn't you get involved with the Davis family? How come you don't know why he came to Gangdia? Hiccup."

"It's only because you've established a relationship that you're embarrassed to ask. When it comes to the Davis family, they'll talk if they want to, but if they don't want to talk and you force them to, you could lose your life at any moment."

"Big families are indeed that domineering; they'll kill anyone they don't like. You're lucky you know me, kid. I also happen to know why Noah Davis came to Gangdia?"

Perhaps because he had been chatting, Gordon sobered up a bit and burped less.

Nick's eyes lit up. "Why?"

Gordon suddenly leaned closer to Nick, his voice low, and asked, "You know about the Leopold family mine being blown up, right?"

"How could I not know about this? It's caused such a big fuss."

"I heard that the mine was indeed bombed by the Davis family, but it was the hounds that betrayed the Davis family. We all know that the Davis family's hounds are the most important organization of the Davis family, but the dogs betrayed their masters. And it wasn't just one; all the hounds in Gangdia betrayed the Davis family."

“The hounds are the face of the Davis family. With so many hounds betraying the Davis family, he, as the head of the family, must personally settle accounts with them. Otherwise, if these hounds continue to cause trouble in the name of the Davis family, the Davis family will be in big trouble.”

Gordon's words made Qi Yuan subconsciously look at Andrei.

Andrei was also hearing this news for the first time. He was the leader of the hounds of the city and knew that the hounds of Gangdia had lost contact, but he did not know that Noah had come to Gangdia to settle scores with them.

No wonder he, as the leader of the hunting dogs, was assigned to take care of Qi Yuan; it's probably because they didn't trust him much and deliberately sent him away.
