Rocket seemed to realize, only after Weasel’s loud shout, that if Weasel’s stock of fine Earth liquor remained in this bar, there wouldn’t be many bottles left intact by the time this brawl ended.
However, even if they rushed out to stop it, it wouldn’t have much effect and might even result in them getting caught in the crossfire.
But just as Rocket was preparing to charge out to wake up the booze-crazy Drax for the sake of a few bottles of Earth liquor, he suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure at the bar’s entrance.
Upon seeing this familiar figure, Rocket retreated with his bottles. Since that person had arrived, this melee would soon come to an end.
Seeing Rocket take a step out and then return, Weasel wasn’t surprised. There was no way Weasel could control the chaotic situation in the bar now. These drinks would go to waste, and the mercenaries causing trouble would have to pay for it later.
Besides, given Weasel’s status in the underworld, these mercenaries would still show him some respect.
However, just as Weasel crouched in the corner, cradling the few rescued, most expensive bottles of liquor, the situation in front of him underwent a complete transformation in the next moment.
As a blue light swept across, the chaotic bar suddenly froze as if someone had hit the pause button. Everyone’s actions came to a standstill, including Weasel and Rocket in the corner.
In the previous moment, mercenaries who had been wielding bottles and chairs to attack each other were now frozen in mid-swing, their bodies held in place by a powerful spatial force.
Only their eyeballs could barely move. Deadpool, who had been dancing on the bar counter, was frozen in a very seductive pose, while the Destroyer, Drax, remained frozen in the middle of a roar.
Drip, Drip, Drip…
After everyone in the bar had been instantly frozen, a steady sound of footsteps could be heard. It seemed like they could hear this sound, as all the people who had been immobilized were trying their best to turn their eyes toward the source of the footsteps.
There, a youngster was slowly making his way to the center of the bar, kicking aside the scattered debris on the floor.
Bang!
Casually kicking aside a broken table that blocked his path, Lin Rui walked to the bar counter and stood in front of Drax. The restraint on everyone in the bar had naturally been applied using the spatial energy of the Magic Cube.
Among those present, except for Destroyer Drax and Deadpool, none were considered formidable individuals. Thus, it didn’t cost Lin Rui much energy.
“You guys sure know how to cause trouble! Your teammate doesn’t even know where Ego took him, and you still have the leisure to drink and act crazy here…” Lin Rui muttered helplessly as he stood in front of Drax, looking at him, shirtless and reeking of alcohol.
Exhaling, after Lin Rui muttered these words, he waved his right hand forward, and a surge of spatial energy transmitted once more.
Pū Pū Pū!
After Lin Rui waved his hand, the mercenaries who had been frozen, including Deadpool and Drax, as if they had been subjected to an intense gravitational force, all sat down on the floor in unison. In the next moment, Lin Rui had already retracted the spatial force, and they had regained their freedom.
“Oh, oh!”
“Hiss!~~”
“Shit!”
After being slammed to the ground by the spatial force, each person emitted painful cries or furious roars. Deadpool, in particular, tumbled down from the bar counter in that seductive pose.
However, after a brief period of chaotic shouting, everyone in the bar fell silent, and their gazes unconsciously shifted to the youngster who looked as clean and tidy as a high school student.
While their bodies had been frozen by spatial energy moments ago, their thoughts were not restrained, and their eyeballs could move with great effort.
So, they naturally saw Lin Rui strolling around leisurely while they were immobilized, and they also guessed that the bizarre situation they had just experienced was the work of the youngster who had suddenly appeared before them.
“Oh my! Jackson’s here! Do you want to have a couple of drinks too?” Deadpool, who had already climbed up from the ground, shouted as he saw Lin Rui. He didn’t seem to care about the youngster’s appearance and casually shook the bottle in his hand.
Lin Rui, with a helpless glare at Deadpool, sent an internal energy attack towards him through the air. Bang! Deadpool didn’t even have time to react, and the internal energy struck him directly in the chest.
Crack, Crack!
Without a doubt, several of Deadpool’s ribs were broken, and his heart was likely crushed. After taking such a heavy blow, Deadpool dropped the bottle in his hand and clutched his chest while looking at Lin Rui. “Uh… I forgot, you’re probably not of legal drinking age, huh?” After saying this, Deadpool slowly fell over.
Anyway, Deadpool had a healing factor, so even if he was killed, he could come back with a little time. To avoid trouble, Lin Rui had taken a harsh approach. Weasel and the mercenaries in the bar, who knew about Deadpool’s abilities, didn’t react much to Deadpool’s “death.” However, Drax and Rocket were startled.
“You killed him?!” Drax, who had just awakened from his drunken state, stared wide-eyed at Deadpool’s lifeless body and shouted angrily at Lin Rui.
Meanwhile, Rocket, who had been crouched in the corner, was also dumbfounded. He had called Lin Rui to come and handle unnecessary chaos and trouble, not to have Deadpool killed! However, Weasel quickly explained a few words in his ear, dispelling Rocket’s misunderstanding about Lin Rui.
“Don’t worry, he can’t die. Deadpool has an undying body. Didn’t he tell you that after all that drinking?” Lin Rui shrugged and explained when he heard Drax’s misunderstanding.
“Uh… an undying body?!” Drax was taken aback upon hearing Lin Rui’s explanation.
Lin Rui sighed internally, not wanting to spend time dealing with the mess caused by Deadpool and the Guardians of the Galaxy, who were a bit scatterbrained. He waved his hand and created a Spatial Teleportation gate. In the next moment, Drax, Deadpool, and Rocket were all grabbed and thrown inside.
“Weasel, this time you can ask these guys here to cover your losses. I won’t help compensate for Deadpool,” Lin Rui said to Weasel just before stepping into the Spatial Teleportation gate.
Buzzing~
After that, Lin Rui walked into the Spatial Teleportation gate and disappeared, leaving behind a chaotic bar. However, with Lin Rui’s final words and Weasel’s identity, the bar’s losses should be recoverable.
“Hey! You all heard it just now! Who smashed my good liquor? Pay up! If you don’t have money, figure it out! I want to see my liquor cabinet filled with good liquor within a week! Otherwise, don’t even think about hanging out at Margaret’s Bar in the future!”
