I'm bombarding the Supernatural World with my firearms
Chapter 66: Chapter 65: "How is this place?

As the people at the other tables saw Yuan Buping being pressed down, they started to get up but then sat back down in their seats. However, their eyes were fixed on the group that had burst into the hotel.

At this moment,

the gang of bandits also noticed Chen Miao and his group.

It was indeed hard not to notice Chen Miao and the others; they all wore matching outfits, and with Hungry Monkey sitting alone at a table with Chen Miao, Yuan Buping, and others, it was obvious they were not good people.

The young man leading these bandits apparently hadn't planned for Chen Miao's group. He was slightly taken aback before cupping his hands in front of him and bowing to Chen Miao and the others with a hoarse voice:

"I am the leader of the bandit gang, everyone calls me Monkey Head Mushroom."

"We are here today for some private business, and we apologize if we have caused any disturbance. We will be going upstairs to replace someone and will leave shortly."

"We kindly ask for the cooperation of the brothers here."

Clearly, this gang of bandits was also worried that sudden action from Chen Miao and the others could disrupt their plans.

Chen Miao didn't speak; he just continued to bow his head and eat his meal as if he hadn't heard anything.

The bandits didn't linger either; they immediately rushed up to the second floor of the restaurant, and not long after, they came down with a woman in a wedding dress, crying with terror and makeup running down her face. Several vans, which had appeared at the entrance at some unknown time, immediately opened their doors.

They came without a trace, and they left without a trace.

The group quickly vanished from sight, taking with them a maiden as beautiful as a flower who had just been getting married, as well as the desperately anxious parents who rushed to the entrance of the restaurant. Oh, and there was also a young man in a groom's attire, standing to the side with a grim expression on his face.

It seemed to be a case of a bride kidnapping.

...

"A kidnapping, huh?"

Hungry Monkey took two bowls of rice from the table, dumped them onto a plate of food, picked up the plate, and began shoveling it into his mouth like crazy. After quickly chewing through several mouthfuls, he let out a satisfied burp and looked towards the crowd of anxious people at the restaurant's entrance, casually saying, "Are kidnappings so blatant these days?"

"In broad daylight, with so many cameras, so many eyewitnesses."

"Plus, the target was obviously specific and not chosen at random. Just investigate the woman's social relations, and it'll be very easy to catch these bandits."

"Especially since these people even revealed their names."

"It's hard to say."

Chen Miao shook his head as he leaned back in his chair, putting down his chopsticks and casually saying, "These people are clearly inexperienced, handling their business without any protocol. If they don't have strong backing, I can only say these people are simply not afraid to die."

And just then—

The Enforcement Bureau arrived belatedly, starting to control the scene and look for eyewitnesses.

Chen Miao didn't want to get involved. Before the Enforcement Bureau arrived, he took Hungry Monkey and the others and left first.

The ancients said: "When wine and food are plentiful, thoughts turn to desire."

The ancients were right.

This meal cost him over 6,000 credit points, but the value for money was pretty good. The food tasted great, and there was also a live drama to watch.

...

Fifteen minutes later.

Chen Miao led Hungry Monkey and the others to the front of a standalone building named 'Night Heaven.'

Though it was called Night Heaven,

it was extremely bustling even during the day. Many people were entering and leaving through the storefront entrance, while behind the glass curtain walls on either side of the door, scantily clad and seductive girls were continually throwing come-hither looks and dancing energetically to passersby.

"This..."

Hungry Monkey swallowed his saliva discreetly, his voice tinged with uncertainty as he said, "This... isn't this inappropriate?"

He had never been to such a place before. In his entire life, he had never even touched a woman's hand—the first time was in a dream. Not having money to visit was secondary; mainly, he was too scared to come.

"A greenhorn, huh?"

Chen Miao glanced at Hungry Monkey with a bit of inner hesitation. He hated bringing greenhorns to places like this the most; these novices often fall in love with the technicians who serve them, and no matter how much you try to dissuade them, they just wouldn't listen, as if their brains had been waterlogged.

Then he looked back at Yuan Buping and others with similar expressions. After a moment of silent expressionlessness, he hoarsely said, "You guys aren't like that too, are you?"

"Uh..."

Yuan Buping lowered his head in slight embarrassment, his voice tiny as a fly, "Yeah, we all are."

"Sigh."

Chen Miao couldn't help but sigh upon hearing that, "A bunch of young lads in your twenties, full of vim and vigor, you sure can put up with a lot. Come on, let's indulge for once, I'll take you guys for some meatier entertainment."

"Life's only so long, if we don't enjoy this or that, what's the point of living."

Meanwhile, the female manager at the entrance had already noticed Chen Miao and his group, swaying her hips and strutting over like a cat, stopping in front of Chen Miao with doe-like eyes brimming with tenderness, "Big brother, what do you feel like doing?"

Theirs was a line of work.

Having sharp eyesight was a must, identifying who the leader was in a group, that was a basic skill.

"Take these guys to a large private room, get more girls to set up a bare-skinned party, not the dull kind. They're all newbies, bring in some who can really liven up and control the mood."

"Get me a small room for a private selection."

"I'll choose myself."

"I like 'em tall, leggy, and fair-skinned."

"Understood!"

The female manager's eyes lit up at this, clearly dealing with a pro, but she couldn't place his face, maybe he was from another spot. If she serviced him well, he could become a regular, right?

That would count as her achievement.

...

Two hours later.

After wrapping it all up, Chen Miao, draped in a bathrobe, lay on the bed and looked at Zhou Shen as he entered, lighting a cigarette and casually asked, "How was it, had fun?"

"I've agreed to what you mentioned."

"Three days later, I'll return that item to you, and then it's up to you to run the show."

"Understood, thanks godfather."

Zhou Shen, who entered and stood at the door, paused for a while before speaking in a low voice, "About that kidnapping at the Drunken Wind Pavilion today, you were at the scene, godfather. I've put a lid on that case for now, haven't looked into it."

"Should I continue investigating?"

"Keep looking into it. That case has nothing to do with us, just investigate as usual, and one more thing—"

Chen Miao picked up a cigarette from the box on the bedside table and tossed it to Zhou Shen standing at the door, "Don't call me godfather; I'm not into adopting sons. Just call me Miao, alright? How do you like this place?"

"It's pretty good, the girls are quite nice."

"I want this place."

"..."

Zhou Shen was briefly stunned, then began to shake his head like a rattle, "Miao, it's definitely not possible. This... there's no chance. In Fengtian City or even the entire Federation, almost all the pleasure venues are federally operated."

"Outsiders can't get a hand in it."

"Hmm."

Chen Miao nodded and casually said, "Even if this place is involved in gambling and selling the banned drug 'AI Pills,' that wouldn't matter either?"

"That's at most a violation of the rules, but it's still very difficult for outsiders to get involved."

"But as far as I know, this place regularly slips some grease to the gangs around here."

"That's true. Even though it's a federal operation, they still have to let some profit slip through."

"I want that cut."

"Difficult," Zhou Shen hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I've also recently heard some insider info. The Federation's research found that, through certain methods, those pills can enhance a person's Skill Proficiency in their dreams."

"It's said that quite a few influential people are using 'AI Pills' to improve their Skill Proficiency while they sleep."

"These blemishes you're talking about could be made into a big deal or trivialized, involving federal operations they're certain to be played down. Once the issue is downplayed, it gradually disappears, either the issue itself or the person concerned."
