"Good afternoon Tom."
"Good afternoon Sunny."
At the door of the bar where he was working, he happened to meet Sunny, who was also an adaptor. Sunny greeted An Yi warmly. The two worked together for three months and became friends who could talk to each other.
Sunny is of French descent, with long chestnut hair tied up. She is not particularly pretty, but she is young, only 19 years old this year.
It is said that there are no ugly young girls, and An Yi thinks this is indeed true.
They both walked in together.
After changing clothes and cleaning, there were only a few customers in the afternoon, but after nightfall a large number of customers poured in and the pub became noisy.
The tavern is a mixed place. There are good people, but there are also a lot of bastards.
A drunk guy saw Sunny walking by and grabbed her waist and pulled her onto his legs, scaring her so much that she screamed.
When the other drinkers saw this, no one stepped forward to stop it. Instead, they all smiled wickedly and watched the fun from the sidelines.
An Yi saw Sunny's horrified look and glanced at the bar owner, only to find that he was not even looking at them and was still drinking his beer seriously.
After working in the pub for a few months, An Yi realized that the pub owner was a coward.
The boss turned a blind eye, but An Yi could not stand by and watch Sunny being molested. Although the drunkard could not go too far in public, his behavior was already a great insult to a girl.
An Yi stepped forward and grabbed Sunny's arm, pulling her out of the man's arms, "You go to the back."
Sunny escaped from the trap, looked at Anyi with gratitude, and quickly ran into the kitchen.
The girl was taken away by An Yi, and the guy who molested Sunny felt humiliated and was very unhappy. He stared at An Yi angrily and cursed:
"Boy, are you looking for death?"
"This is a tavern. If you want to find a woman, go somewhere else." An Yi replied coldly.
The people watching the excitement laughed.
The drunk felt offended at being lectured by a bar waiter and thought people were laughing at him.
He picked up the beer on the table and splashed it towards An Yi.
An Yi dodged subconsciously and was not splashed by the wine, only a little splashed on his body.
After looking at this guy, An Yi turned around and left.
Being ignored by An Yi, the guy felt even more upset. He threw the beer cup in his hand to the ground with great force. With a loud bang, the cup broke into countless pieces.
An Yi turned around and looked over. The man looked at An Yi with a smirk on his face and said with a crooked mouth:
"Hey kid, I accidentally broke the beer glass. Don't worry, I will pay for it. Now hurry up and clean it up. This is your job."
Then he pointed to the ground.
An Yi took a broom from the staircase corridor, but just as he was sweeping the floor, the guy stepped on the broom handle and looked at An Yi with a provocative look.
The drinkers around watched what was happening here with interest, just treating it as a fun event.
Suddenly,
A violent emotion surged in An Yi's mind.
After traveling to this world for half a year, An Yi's soul has completely merged with Hardy's soul, which has also caused significant changes in An Yi's personality.
His original personality was calm and steady, but after integrating Hardy's thoughts, he became much wilder than before.
Looking up at the drunkard, the relaxed look in his eyes turned cold. The man was stunned because he saw a strong murderous aura in the eyes of the young man in front of him, as if he was being stared at by a tiger. This look made him feel scared.
I began to feel timid.
But the next second he became even more angry. How could he be frightened by a tavern attendant? This made him feel ashamed.
"Boy, how dare you look at me like that!"
The guy was drunk and punched An Yiluan.
“Bang~!”
Before the drunkard's fist could hit An Yi, An Yi moved and punched the guy hard on the chin. The guy was knocked flying and fell heavily to the ground.
An Yi took a step forward, rode on the man, grabbed the bastard's neck with his left hand, and punched him hard in the face with his strong right fist.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
After a beating, the guy was bleeding from the mouth and nose.
The man was still struggling at first, but after a few punches he completely paralyzed on the ground, like a dead dog.
The boss came over quickly to pull An Yi.
"Tom, stop hitting him, you're going to kill him!"
Everyone in the tavern looked at An Yi in surprise. They didn't expect that this usually quiet adaptor could be so violent when he got angry. If no one had stopped him, he would probably have beaten that guy to death.
Not long after, the police arrived and the man was sent to the hospital. An Yi was taken to the police station and then detained for assault, awaiting trial and sentencing.
After being detained for about a week, the court session began.
In court, An Yi's lawyer presented a certificate of mental illness and called several witnesses, including a girl named Sunny. Because the other party was at fault first, the judge finally ordered An Yi to pay the other party $350.
The compensation, legal fees, and An Yi's retirement allowance were all used up in an instant, and he even sold some things, including the second-hand Colt revolver.
He was completely penniless.
He also lost his job as a bartender because he had caused trouble for his boss.
When he went out to look for a new job, everyone rejected him. It was a small town and people had heard about what happened in the pub. They knew that An Yi was mentally ill, so no one was willing to hire him to avoid trouble.
As soon as he got home, An Yi saw the girl Sunny standing at the door of the apartment.
"Tom, thank you for helping me that day. Also, I'm quitting my job and planning to leave Orange County," said Sunny.
"Where are you going?"
"During this time, I saved some money and prepared to go to school."
"You are still very young. You really should study. What do you plan to study?"
"I plan to study law and become a lawyer or a judge in the future. It was what happened in the tavern that day that gave me this idea," said the girl.
"It's a good idea, I hope you succeed." An Yi encouraged.
Sonny O'Connor looked at Anyi, then suddenly walked up to him, hugged him tightly, and kissed him on the cheek.
"Thank you again Tom, bye."
"Bye~!"
Looking at Sunny's back, An Yi didn't know if he would see this girl again in the future. Many people are just passers-by in your life, and maybe you will never meet them again.
Lying on the small bed in the apartment, An Yi was thinking about how he should live in the future. He was afraid that he could not stay in Orange County anymore. At this moment, the landlord came upstairs and called him, saying that there was his phone number downstairs.
An Yi went downstairs to answer the phone, but unexpectedly it was Bill calling.
Bill and Hardy were once comrades in the same team and best brothers. Hardy once saved Bill's life on the battlefield. He was injured in a battle and retired directly after recovering, leaving one year earlier than Hardy.
Bill was very enthusiastic on the phone, "Brother, I just found out that you retired due to injury. I finally got your contact information. How are you doing now?"
“Not good!”
An Yi talked about his previous experiences and current situation.
"I am now penniless and have lost my job. What's worse is that everyone here knows that I am mentally ill and no one is willing to hire me."
Bill laughed and said, "It's no big deal. Come to Los Angeles. There are plenty of ways to make money here."
Just like that, An Yi packed up her things and set off for Los Angeles.
As soon as An Yi got off the long-distance bus with his suitcase, Bill got out of a Ford car next to him and gave him a bear hug.
After the two separated, An Yi looked at Bill. Bill had dark blond hair, clear blue eyes, and the typical short stubble on his cheeks. He looked 70% like Brad Pitt.
An Yi thought, Bill's full name is Bill Pete.
Also named Pete,
Could it be Brad Pitt's grandpa?
"Haha, Tom, I finally see you again." Bill said happily, patting Anyi's arm.
"It's been almost two years since we last met, and you've gained a lot of weight."
An Yi patted Bill's broad back and said.
"I'm strong, not fat," Bill retorted.
Then he took the suitcase from An Yi and threw it into the back seat of the Ford, "Get in the car, I'll welcome you first, and then we'll go to the bar for a drink."
