Chapter 497 Cat-ear interlude in the bar

"Hello everyone, welcome to the stage of the band 'Shaking Ears'~"

The lights converged, and a girl with bunny ears wearing a bold bunny girl dress walked onto the stage. The real bunny ears were particularly clear and beautiful in the light, and her slender legs showed the vitality and strength of youth. This balance of strength and sexiness made her particularly charming.

She was like dancing, turning slightly in the only light on the stage, her steps were like compasses, she jumped up and fell lightly, and led another girl with bunny ears out of the darkness. The two looked similar, only the color of their bunny ears was different. They were like twin sisters dancing a duet, and came to the center of the stage with the accompaniment of clear music. Then the two held their fingers, their faces were close, and they looked at the many audiences in front of the stage, causing countless people to scream and cheer.

The scene was almost piercing with screams and shouts. Thousands of people gathered here and immersed themselves in the gradually rising guitar and bass sounds.

This is the largest bar and nightclub in the central 5th district, "Manic Bumping Horns". Its icon is a raised neon rhino horn, which is particularly eye-catching.

In a corner of the bar, a young man in a suit sat at a small round table, which was out of tune with the atmosphere here. Behind him stood two followers, one was probably a secret assistant, and the other was a little sturdy and wore tactical sunglasses. He should be a bodyguard.

"Is Miss Black Cat not here yet?" He has been waiting here for half an hour, but still hasn't seen the cat-eared girl who didn't know him.

A few months ago, he met a girl with excellent appearance and temperament on the street. He wanted to ask her to be a model to promote the newly opened store, so he invited her to a street restaurant. After the girl left, he was surrounded by the group of orcs in the restaurant.

After some explanation, he realized that he had offended the local forces, so he apologized, helped the restaurant to redecorate, and gave away many of his own high-end products.

He originally thought that this was a bad luck, but he didn't expect that when he opened a new store, many companies and enterprises run by orcs came to support him, and even specially supported him with several fox-eared dancers with excellent looks as models, which made the new store a hit and established itself in Academy City.

"We, 'Huaishan Zi', can stand firm in Academy City and obtain various conveniences, thanks to the gangster lady we met that day. Unfortunately, we have never known her true identity, so we can only settle for the second best and contact the cat-eared lady." This is what he said to many subordinates at a company meeting a few days ago.

Since the new store was put into operation, Milovan's voice in the family has risen sharply. The newly expanded business has opened up the situation and greatly improved the brand's popularity, which has made his status begin to catch up with his two older brothers.

But this is not enough. The success of the first store alone is a good start, but it is not enough to truly prove himself, and he cannot compete with the two brothers who have been in charge of the business for a long time. He must take advantage of this momentum and expand rapidly. Not only in the central five districts, but also in Academy City, there must be at least 5 stores to complete the layout.

Since the first success came from that lady, why not repeat it along the path of success? Compared with animals, the biggest advantage of humans is that they can learn and accumulate experience, so he planned to contact the cat-eared girl again.

Unfortunately, not only did he not know the true identity of the gangster lady, but even the cat-eared girl was always elusive and could not be booked several times.

He had thought of sending someone to find a special agency to inquire about intelligence, but his subordinates said that local gangs must have contacts with local agencies. If he placed an order in the morning, the other party might know it in the afternoon, which would only offend people for nothing.

So he had to give up this idea and asked the staff of the restaurant directly, hoping that they could tell him the whereabouts of the cat-eared girl.

After several visits to give gifts and show goodwill, a waiter at the restaurant finally told him quietly that if he wanted to find the cat-eared girl, he should come to this bar this afternoon.

"The newly debuted 'Shaking Two Ears' band is ours, so Master Cat will also go to support it. I can only tell you so much." The other party told Milovan this sentence.

Sitting in the noisy bar, Milovan looked at the bunny-eared sisters singing passionately on the stage and asked the people around him.

"Are they the lead singers of the band?"

"They should be. I'll ask for you." Upon hearing this, the assistant walked into the dance floor and found a roaring fan. After a few words, he finally asked what he wanted.

"Yes, the names of the two bunny-eared sisters are Dominica and Pamenica. They are the lead singers of this new band. It is said that they have just signed a music subsidiary of 'United of Ten Thousand Beasts'." "

'United of Ten Thousand Beasts'..." Milovan recalled this famous giant enterprise.

Compared with other giant enterprises, the name of 'United of Ten Thousand Beasts' tells that it has a strong orc race culture, and this is indeed the case.

In the northern star regions where orcs gather, because the orcs were scattered in the early years and had low business talents, they were often squeezed by other giant enterprises for profits, so a business alliance was born to protect the interests of orcs.

At first, only a few large companies in the beastman world joined, and then many small and medium-sized enterprises run by beastmen also joined. Finally, it gradually integrated into a real behemoth. Its business covers every corner of the northern star region, from food, clothing, housing, transportation, to education, medical care, and practice. Although its financial report is not good due to its bloated body, its assets are still huge.

"So, the cat-eared girl should have a close relationship with the 'United of Ten Thousand Beasts'. I have heard that in the beastman world, gangs and commercial companies are almost one and the same. I didn't expect it to be true." Milovan understood why so many beastman companies came to support him just by pleasing the cat-eared girl.

It seems that the relationship between beastmen is much closer than he imagined.

While the third heir of 'Huaishan Zi' was still sitting in a corner of the bar waiting patiently, in the VIP box on the second floor where they watched the performance, Eluklu and Tilan were sitting on the sofa chatting about the two sisters on the stage.

"Their talents are really good, Tilan." Seeing the two girls he discovered were very popular, Eluklu was also very proud and happy.

"It's really good." Tilan was wearing a black dress today, matched with her quiet hair, she had a low-key and quiet beauty.

"Just now I heard the waiter say that there is a young man looking for you downstairs."

"Oh, you mean that, I remember, it's actually related to you, hehe." Elukelu suddenly remembered something funny and smiled.

"Huh?" Tilan tilted her head and looked at the cat-eared singer beside her, curious about why she was in such a cheerful mood.

"Do you remember that day, you were going back, but you were blocked on the road?" Elukelu helped Tilan recall.

"I remember, there was such a thing." Tilan soon realized something.

"So, he is the young man the waiter said."

"That's right, in fact, I gave Tilan a lot of identities for fun." Elukelu shook her ears, quite cheerful.

"Let me guess, you want me to continue acting." Seeing this, Tilan knew what Elukelu was thinking. This was not the first time she had encountered such a thing. In high school, Allen and his friends especially liked to do it, asking her to pretend to be cold, or deliberately put on airs to scare and intimidate the representatives of other schools who met.

"Tilan is really smart, you understand what I say, great~~" Elukelu applauded.

"You are much better than Luo Fenghua and Feng Jianshang (Audney). Luo Fenghua always puts on the airs of an oriental lady and can't let go of her status. It's never fun to play with her. Feng Jianshang is a little more lively, but I don't have many topics to talk about with her, so we don't interact much."

"Aren't there Pulin and Jian Xiner?" Tilan was curious.

"Prin, she's too much, how should I put it, not cute enough to tease, Jian Xin'er is even more evil than me, I'm the one who's often teased, so it's not fun at all." Elukelu commented on several singers of similar age.

"What about Blanche and Shui Yanqing?" Tilan suddenly wanted to know what Elukelu thought.

"Blanche has only been in the field of singers for less than a year, just like a child, you can't take her with you for everything, she's still too young."

"Although Ores is a year younger than me, she debuted earlier than me, and elves like to pretend to be young, hum."

"Shui Yanqing, I don't have much contact with her, she often deals with those ambitious giant companies, I can't talk to her."

"Is that so, okay, what do you want me to do, let's make it clear first, I have other things to do in the afternoon, I can't stay too long." It was two o'clock in the afternoon, and she had to meet up with Sogana before four o'clock.

"Are you still busy with the pet hospital task over the weekend? Okay, it won't delay you for long." Elukelu thought about it.

"Listen to my arrangements..." She whispered to Tilan's ear, not knowing whether she was trying to prevent someone from eavesdropping.

Half an hour later, the impromptu band took a few minutes to rest for the intermission, and Milovan, who had been sitting for a long time, finally received an invitation from the bartender.

"Come with me, the young lady wants to see you." Although the tone was a little arrogant, Milovan didn't feel anything strange about this. After all, the other party's status was much higher than his.

However, he didn't quite understand whether the young lady was the representative of the local gang or the spokesperson of the "United Beasts" in the local area.

Following the waiter, he walked into the side door beside the bar, entered the passage behind, and then went upstairs. This should be a small club. There were many orcs sitting and drinking and chatting. Most of them were around Sequence 6 and were very powerful.

After walking through the hall, he came to a door. There were two lion-maned strong men guarding the door. Just walking past the two people, the body temperature that radiated was like a furnace.

With a nervous mood, Milovan stepped into the door, and the two followers behind him were left outside.

The room was very quiet. When the door behind him was closed, the noisy bar sounds outside seemed to be separated from another world.

There were no decorations here, only a frosted high chair with a dark red rose pattern. Milovan held his breath and slowly looked up to the stage, where he saw the black-haired girl sitting on the chair. She folded her hands on her knees, and her classical skirt covered her knees, revealing only her slender ankles and the black leather shoes she was wearing.

The color of her socks was slightly grayer than her shoes, outlining the girl's beautiful curves, but that was all. The dress above did not reveal any skin, and only the white wrists and collar could reveal the girl's attractive parts.

In addition to the black-haired girl sitting on the chair, there were two orc strong men standing beside her. They were more than two meters tall, and their thick fingers seemed to be able to crush Milovan's head with a slight twist.

The room was a little too quiet, and Milovan could even hear his own heartbeat and the sound of his throat moving.

He nervously lowered his head again.

"Hello, young lady."

For more than ten seconds, he didn't hear any response, and didn't dare to look up. He just waited like that. Just when he began to feel uneasy, the other party finally spoke.

"I have some impression of you."

The girl's gentle voice made Milovan put down his hanging heart. The tension and anxiety in his mind settled down the moment the voice sounded.

"I'm really sorry for disturbing you before." He wanted to say something flattering, but because he didn't understand, he didn't dare to say more, for fear of not getting to the point and annoying others. "

I have forgotten about the previous things, and I already know why you came today." These words pointed out the part that Milovan wanted to say the most in his heart, but made him not know what to say next.

"It's okay to open a store, and it's also okay to protect you from vicious competition from other peers." The girl's voice was neither fast nor slow.

"It's just that when needed, you have to do something for us."

Milovan wanted to ask what it would be, but he couldn't speak when the words came to his lips, because he found that he had no right to refuse, or if he wanted to refuse, he shouldn't step into this door.

Since you've come to ask for help, it's only natural that they'll ask for something. Bargaining at this point would be offensive to them, so you might as well not come.

Is this how the gangs do things, Milovan thought.

"Yes, I get it." He nodded in agreement, even bowing.

"That is, if you ask me to do something, how will you notify me?" If he doesn't ask this, he won't be able to tell who it is, and he can't always ask the waiter of that restaurant for confirmation.

The girl sitting opposite raised her hand, and a sturdy orc next to her took out a chip card and handed it to Milovan.

"The other party will show the key, and this chip card can confirm it."

"Thank you, Miss." Milovan took it carefully.

After that, the black-haired girl put her hands on her knees again, her eyes quiet, looking at the man who was bowing his head a few meters in front of her.

"You can go home today, and in the next month, put the band's new album in a prominent position."

"Band? Ah, I get it." It should be the 'Shaking Ears' band that is performing on the first floor of the bar.

After putting away the chip card, Milovan bowed again, then carefully left the room, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he returned to the noisy hall.

Strangely enough, although the girl's voice was not soft, it gave him a lot of pressure, a strange sense of mystery and oppression, as if everything he thought in his heart was seen through.

By the way, how did he dare to stop the other party at the beginning, and was the person he talked to in the restaurant that day really the same person?

He couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Milovan touched the chip in his collar pocket and suddenly felt the confidence to make a big splash in Academy City.

Look at my father and the two big brothers, how I led "Huaishan Zi" to rise and forge ahead.

I always didn't understand those movies and TV dramas that had to find a boss or a big brother for myself. Isn't it better to be the master of the house myself? Now Milovan suddenly understood.

With a backer, I can be a little arrogant when I walk. This kind of confidence is really comforting.

...

When Milovan went downstairs and left, Eluklu also walked out of the secret door hidden in the room.

"Wow, Tilan acted so well that I felt it was real just now. I'm a little nervous." She rushed to the black-haired girl sitting on the chair, as if she had to break the solemnity that Tilan had created at this moment to relieve the tension in her heart.

Tilan hugged the cat-eared singer who rushed into her arms with a little helplessness, and looked at the two tall orcs beside her. Isn't Eluklu afraid of being laughed at in front of these orcs?

"Hehe, they don't dare." Knowing what Tilan was thinking, Eluklu stood up and smiled slyly like a little devil.

"Who am I? I am the unpredictable fate, the unexpected pranks, the ever-cute and smart gorgeous purple - Elklu."

Although she looks playful and lazy, this cat-eared singer is not as naive as she seems. Instead, she has a kind of freedom and willfulness after knowing everything, and she writes her own life wantonly. This unpredictable agility and vitality are the moving parts of her as a singer.

No matter her coquettishness, stupidity, impulsiveness, pranks, or playfulness, they will be beautified and made reasonable by those who like her.

With this kind of charm of showing off her personality, Elklu has always been famous among the orcs. Even among humans, there are still many people who like her. If one day she becomes law-abiding and acts only for profit, it will make people uncomfortable and lose the charm brought by her natural nature.

If you ask Elklu what the meaning of doing this today is, she will definitely answer, don’t you think this is very interesting?

The world has become happy and moving because of this.

This is her goal, to make this increasingly mundane and boring world become lively and interesting again, so that people will look forward to it.

People are animals that cannot tolerate boredom and dullness, and the same is true for cats.
