A zombie insect, looking almost identical to a mosquito, flew up from the corpse dog, circled around to the front of Ethan Carter, and, while no one was paying attention, flew straight into his mouth.

“Gang?” Entering the nightclub, Ethan Carter spat out the zombie insect from earlier and said, “Keep following that guy. If there’s any more trouble, I’ll just unify all the gangs on this street. After being sealed for fifty years, I finally woke up and planned to keep a low profile, but it seems trouble is unavoidable after all.”

Chapter 9: Kidnapping

With his clinic destroyed, Ethan Carter had temporarily become homeless. Bored, he wandered into the largest internet café in the red-light district, which was also the most luxurious and biggest internet café in New Binhai City.

After getting a number card, Ethan Carter casually found a seat and logged into the online game “Dungeons & Dragons” again, continuing to level up his character.

A stylishly dressed woman sitting nearby noticed that Ethan Carter was also playing “Dungeons & Dragons,” just like her. She reached out and patted Ethan Carter on the shoulder, saying, “Hey handsome, looks like we’re in the same server! My in-game name is Dragon Lady!”

Ethan Carter turned to glance at the woman, whose miniskirt barely covered her hips, wearing a low-cut top, her hair dyed bright red, and who looked to be only twenty years old.

“A twenty-year-old girl, dressed like this. Be careful you don’t get raped out there.” After saying this, Ethan Carter went back to focusing on his game character.

Dragon Lady looked at Ethan Carter in surprise, patted his shoulder again, and said, “Wow! You could tell my real age at a glance! How did you do that?”

Without turning his head, Ethan Carter pointed to his nose and said, “I smelled it.”

“So amaz—”

“Your character just got PKed.” Ethan Carter interrupted her, raising his hand to point at the character Dragon Lady was controlling.

“How dare they PK me!” Dragon Lady said angrily, ignoring Ethan Carter and throwing herself enthusiastically into the PK battle.

Another man entered the internet café, wearing a lip ring, his chest exposed to show off a tattoo of a fierce tiger, and his hair dyed green, making him look from a distance like he was wearing a green hat.

After getting his number card, the man looked around at the empty computers, then walked straight over to sit on the right side of Dragon Lady, skillfully entered his account, and also logged into “Dungeons & Dragons.”

“Hey! Babe! Which server are you on? Got a boyfriend? Need a big bro to carry you?” After entering the game, the man kept harassing Dragon Lady with his words.

Seeing that Dragon Lady ignored him, the man simply lit a cigarette, playing the game while puffing away.

Sitting next to him, Dragon Lady immediately started coughing from the smoke.

Not far away, Ethan Carter also wrinkled his brow at the pungent smell of smoke.

Not wanting to cause trouble, Ethan Carter glanced at the man, quickly shut down his computer, and switched to another seat to continue his game.

Under the attack of the chain-smoker, Dragon Lady soon gave up and also decided to change seats, once again sitting next to Ethan Carter.

Seeing their actions, the green-haired man also got up and came over to their side, smoking even more brazenly.

Squeezed into the innermost seat, Ethan Carter glanced at the green-haired man. Just as he was about to stand up and change seats again—

Smack...

A crisp, loud slap suddenly echoed through the quiet internet café.

Many people immediately looked in the direction of the sound, just in time to see the stylish Dragon Lady glaring fiercely at the green-haired man, whose face now bore a bright red handprint—clearly, he had just been slapped by Dragon Lady.

Ethan Carter acted as if he hadn’t seen any of this, stood up, and walked out.

After hundreds of years of life, he had seen too many things like this happen. If he were curious about everything, or got involved in every incident, Ethan Carter would have become a living Lei Feng by now.

“Pervert!”

“Pervert? Babe, all I did was touch your thigh, and that’s perverted? Who told you to dress so provocatively? In a place like this, dressed like that, aren’t you just asking for it?” The green-haired man finished speaking, deliberately leaned his chair back to block Ethan Carter’s way out, and looked at Ethan Carter and Dragon Lady with a smug expression, as if daring them to do anything about it.

“Smoking is your freedom, but it’s not okay to bother others. As for what’s going on between you and this woman, that’s between the two of you. Please move aside, I want to switch computers.” Ethan Carter looked at the green-haired man, his face full of impatience.

The green-haired man immediately stood up, glaring at Ethan Carter with a look that said he was looking for trouble, deliberately showing off the tattoo on his chest as he said, “Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that. Tired of living, are you? Around here, no one dares talk to your Grandpa Green Hair like that! Letting you breathe my secondhand smoke is me giving you face!”

Ethan Carter looked at Green Hair, thinking to himself that he must be having a run of bad luck, since lately he kept running into people who didn’t know their own limits and wanted to cause him trouble.
