A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 97 Strange People

“Even you want to leave, so what’s the point of us staying in here? It just so happens that my sister Ziyan and I are thinking of opening a clothing store. Air Force Brother, after your supermarket is finished, please reserve a shop for us!” He Mengjuan expressed her true feelings.

"Okay, no problem," Liao Kongjun nodded and said with a smile.

Su Haijun did not go out on business as he claimed. Instead, he went straight back to his bar, locked himself in a small, dark room, and drank alone, one glass after another.

The strong alcohol washed over every inch of his skin, quickened his blood flow, and accelerated his heartbeat. At the same time, the strong alcohol was gradually consuming his consciousness, causing it to become increasingly blurred...

He'd lost count of how many glasses he'd had. He leaned on the table, one hand as a pillow, the other gripping the glass. The bright red wine rippled gently within, like a young girl's lips, painted with lipstick, parting in a wide, joyful grin. But to him, it seemed like mockery, like an insult…

"Heh, heh heh... What are you laughing at? Is it that funny? Even you're laughing at me." He laughed at the red wine in his glass, "Haha... Even you're laughing at me, you're all laughing at me, all laughing at me, get out, all of you get the hell out..."

"Ding!"

He casually smashed the heavy wine glass on the ground, shattering it and spilling red wine all over the floor.

"Ha... It's one thing for them to laugh at me, but you dare to laugh at me too? Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to laugh at me?"

His face was flushed, his consciousness somewhat blurred, and his furious roar echoed throughout the room. Just as he roared, a strange wisp of black smoke suddenly rose from the corner to the left of the entrance, like the smoke from a lit cigarette thrown on the ground. The black smoke rose slowly, then rapidly expanded like an inflating balloon, gathering and not dissipating, growing to the height of a person in the blink of an eye. Then, a bizarre scene unfolded: a masked figure in black emerged from the smoke. He wore a long black robe and a black bamboo hat with a black veil around the edge, and a black raincoat covering his face completely. Even his hands were obscured by the sleeves of his robe, making him appear as if shrouded in darkness, or as if he had emerged from ink—a truly eerie sight.

"Crack, snap, snap!"

As soon as he appeared, he clapped his hands three times and then let out a strange, low, mocking voice: "Young man, you've got quite a temper!"

The sound was very mysterious, hollow, like ventriloquism coming from the abdomen.

Su Haijun, who was still angry, suddenly heard this strange voice and quickly looked into the corner. He frowned and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you? Why are you in my room?"

The mysterious man chuckled, his laughter grating: "Hehehe, young man, I've always been here, you just didn't notice!"

Upon hearing this, Su Haijun was slightly startled, then angrily retorted, "Tell me, who exactly are you? Are you here to mock me too?"

The eerie man chuckled again and said, "Young man, why are you so angry? Getting too angry can easily damage your liver and lungs! Let me help you cool down first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the strange man casually waved his hand, and Su Haijun immediately felt himself being firmly bound by a mysterious force, unable to move an inch. At the same time, an unprecedented sense of fear welled up in his heart, and he trembled violently, asking in panic, "You... what do you want to do?"

However, this feeling came and went quickly, like a shooting star streaking across the sky. Immediately afterward, his previously angry heart inexplicably calmed down, like a still lake under a clear blue sky, without a ripple. Even the alcohol wore off, and he was as if nothing had happened. Su Haijun was startled, then frowned slightly and looked the strange man up and down, asking, "Are you a magician?"

Yes, in his view, only a true magician has the ability to change everything with a mere gesture.

However, the strange man chuckled and then said dismissively, "Magician? What's so special about a magician?"

Su Haijun was startled again and asked, "You're not a magician? Then who are you?"

"Heh, young man, have you ever heard of the God of Witchcraft?"

"The God of Witchcraft?" Su Haijun was slightly taken aback, then asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"It is a great god who understands both witchcraft and magic."

HX is a great nation with many mysterious races. Some of them know witchcraft, and some know magic. As a citizen of HX, Su Haijun knew this to some extent, so he nodded and said, "I have heard of witches and magicians, but I have never seen one. Since you are the God of Witchcraft and Magic, then you must be a combination of witchcraft and magic!"

"You can say that."

Su Haijun suddenly remembered Lao Xiao and thought to himself: Could this person be someone Lao Xiao invited to help? But he wasn't sure, so he asked, "Then what brings you here?"

The eerie figure seemed to know what Su Haijun was thinking and laughed, "Young man, weren't you looking for a magician? Right now, a sorcerer a million times more powerful than a magician stands before you. I can instantly make you powerful and give you everything you desire, just like this glass you smashed..."

As soon as he finished speaking, to Su Haijun's astonishment, the shards of glass on the ground suddenly began to move, automatically piecing themselves back together. Simultaneously, the spilled red wine began to wriggle and flow back into the glass, as if time had reversed, restoring the shattered glass to its original state. Then, the glass automatically detached from the ground and floated up, finally settling on Su Haijun's chest.

Startled, Su Haijun quickly caught the wine glass. Just as he was about to speak, the strange man spoke: "Of course, I can also make you disappear instantly, leaving you with nothing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Haijun felt a sudden lightness in his hand. Looking closely, he was shocked to find that the wine glass he had been holding had vanished without a trace. "This..."

The eerie figure chuckled and said, "So? Do you want to become instantly powerful or disappear instantly?"

Upon hearing this, Su Haijun replied without hesitation, "Of course I want to become stronger, but..." He seemed a little hesitant, feeling a bit unreal, and asked, "Is it really as you just said, once I become stronger, will I really be able to get what I want?"

“Of course,” the eerie man said with a smile, “I can instantly turn you into a sorcerer, giving you powerful witchcraft and magic.”
