Chapter 27: Bar Clash

  After seeing off Hu Fei, Jin Hu naturally moved into the small rented house to live. He woke up from a nap, raised his head and looked at the ceiling with its original wooden color exposed. Jin Hu rubbed his eyes and sat up in bed, stopping for a few seconds before walking to the window and pulling open the curtains. As soon as he opened them, the dazzling sunlight poured in recklessly, dyeing the entire bedroom a bright golden color. Jin Hu covered his eyes with his hand, and it took him a while to get used to the light. He put down his hand and pushed open the window, and immediately a refreshing scent of grass and trees wafted in.

  Stretching in the sunlight, Jin Hu thought about going for a workout and put on his clothes, closed the door behind him, and ran towards the back of the house. In China, Jin Hu had been to many cities where it was hard to find such large trees once you left the city center. Here in America, giant trees that one person could wrap their arms around seemed to be everywhere, and you could see them as soon as you left the city a bit. He didn't know how Americans managed to keep so many big trees without cutting them down. No wonder the economy was bad - they had good things but didn't use them, what fools. As he ran along the path, Jin Hu thought that this was the first time he had seen so many trees since leaving his hometown's mountains and forests. He had always thought that only his hometown had such scenery, but now America did too, which made Jin Hu a little unhappy.

  After running for a while, Jin Hu found an open space and started practicing his fist and footwork. In his mind, he imagined Ning Guoquan standing in front of him, and as soon as he made a move, Jin Hu began to counterattack. This time, however, he used all his strength. The whirling fists brought with them residual shadows, like three Jin Hus stacked together, leaping into the air, right knee striking upwards, left leg sweeping horizontally, both fists charging towards his opponent's chest like thunderbolts.

  Fifteen minutes of intense exercise left Jin Hu drenched in sweat, stopping to lean on his knees with both hands and panting heavily.

  Ran back home, took a bath and changed clothes, Jin Hu drove his own big Ben to Qi Ye's martial arts arena, followed Ning Guoquan to fight for a while, taught the fighters, naturally Jin Hu stayed in front of An Wei the most, this young man also learned the most diligently.

  "Lift your left leg a bit higher, are you preparing to kick your opponent's thigh? What's the use of that? You can't just hurt them with one hit and waste energy!" Jin Hu said to An Wei. After finishing speaking, he lifted An Wei's raised leg up a bit: "Either aim for the groin or strike the abdomen, only then can you cause damage to your opponent with one hit, this is what's most important."

  Ning Guoquan stood not far away, looking at Jin Hu with a smile and said: "Old Tiger! I think you might as well take An Pei as your apprentice! Look at how seriously you're teaching him."

  Jin Hu shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm only a little older than him, what's the point of taking on an apprentice?" Firstly, he didn't plan to stay here for long, secondly, once he had work, he wouldn't have time to teach An Wei. However, Jin Hu did quite like this young kid, who could endure hardship, but if he took him as his apprentice, Jin Hu was afraid that after he left, An Wei's days would be even more difficult.

  Listening to Jin Hu's words, An Wei's eyes revealed a disappointed expression.

  "Study hard! Don't mind that little fame." Jin Hu patted An Wei's shoulder and said.

  Ning Guoquan also said to An Qi, "It's not bad to have the opportunity to follow and learn. When I was learning martial arts, I followed a group of people under my master for seven and a half years before entering his eyes and getting personal guidance from him. Your luck is not bad."

  An Wei listened and became happy again, nodded and continued to practice.

  Ning Guoquan looked at Jin Hu and asked: "What's the plan for this afternoon?"

  "Go back and rest for a while, let's go bar-hopping tonight!"

  Ning Guo listened and shook his head, saying: "If you want to pick up girls, I advise you to give up on that idea!" Looking at Jin Hu staring at himself, he explained: "Although the theory says everything is equal, there is still a lot of discrimination against minorities. As an Asian face, your chances of succeeding in a bar are very small. If you want to find a gold-digger, it's more convenient to just make a phone call. And if you say you're a tourist from China, that's even better - they'll think you're a rich and wealthy customer!"

  Jin Hu shook his head and said: "I just went to see what it's like, finding a woman is not important." Brother, you don't understand that we're not looking for women, but looking for tough guys.

  Looking at Jinhu's nonchalant expression, Ning Guoquan said to Anpei: "Xiao Pei! You just follow Brother Hu and show him the way, be his guide so he doesn't end up in a gay bar". The people around them all burst out laughing.

  After listening to Ning Guoquan's words, Jin Hu thought for a moment and also had an idea. He would just take An Wei to the most chaotic bar and that would be it, no need to ask others: "Alright! An Wei, you'll follow me for this period of time."

  "Great!" An Wei said happily, the people around him looked at An Wei with envy, making his mood even better.

  After staying in the martial arts arena for a while, Jin Hu prepared to return to his residence. This time, there was an additional little tail behind him. When they arrived at the parking lot, An Wei said to Jin Hu, "Brother Tiger! Give me the keys, I'll drive."

  Jin Hu listened and threw the key to An Wei, then sat in the back seat of the car. After sitting for a while, Jin Hu enjoyed this treatment, An Wei's driving was much more stable than his own, and he could hardly feel any bumps. No wonder leaders liked to use drivers, it was really comfortable.

  "How many years have you been following Qiye?" Jin Hu asked An Wei from the back seat.

  "It's been less than a year, I was with Seventh Grandfather only at the end of last year, and my generation in the clan is very low!"

  "Oh" Jin Hu thought for a moment and asked: "Is there any particularly chaotic bar in San Francisco, you know, the kind with lots of explosive elements?"

  "This is too much, Brother Tiger! What are you going there for? The police over there are keeping a close watch."

  "Having come all the way to America, how can I not meet the various heroes here?" Jin Hu said with a smile. With this kind of bar around, it's just right for me to go and probe the bottom line. Who knows, maybe I'll encounter a few bold and daring masters, and this business will have a foothold.

  "Then I'll take you to a place today, there are many 'flying car parties' inside, if the bar doesn't have a fight for a day it's like a holiday," An Wei said with a smile from the front seat.

  Back at his residence, Jin Hu told An Wei to drive the car back and come pick him up later that night.

  Back in the house, I made something to eat and lay down on the bed. I contacted No. 1 on the warship, but there was nothing going on, so I just fell asleep on the bed.

  As the sky was about to turn dark, An Wei drove over to pick up Jin Hu. After getting in the car and driving for a while, An Wei said to Jin Hu: "Brother Hu! Is it possible for you to stay in the gang?"

  "What's with the question?" Jin Hu said, looking at An Wei's back of the head.

  An Wei glanced at Jin Hu through the rearview mirror: "Seventh Master seems to want you to stay, and when I went back today, he asked me how you're doing now and if there's anything you need. Seventh Master rarely talks to us, and in all these years, I've spoken fewer than ten sentences with him, including the four questions he asked you today."

  "Do you want me to stay?"

  "That's for sure! If you stay, our strength will increase by a whole level!"

  "With Ning Guoquan's good hands, aren't you enough? What did I come for? Two pairs of red clubs?" Jin Hu said with a smile.

  An Wei shook his head and said, "Quan Ge has received great kindness from Seventh Brother, but I don't know the specifics and it's not good to ask. Quan Ge doesn't participate in many things and has a relatively transcendent position in the gang. Most of the time, it's Hui Ge who takes us to do things, you've seen him, the one with the skull tattoo on the back of his neck. If you stay, nine out of ten times Quan Ge will give up the Double Flower position to you, and at that time, you'll be the second-in-command in the gang, under Seventh Brother."

  Jin Hu smiled: "I don't have such plans yet!"

  An Wei hummed and continued driving.

  Jin Hu lay in the back seat, thinking that his move to leave was indeed a good one. With Jiang Qi being such an old rascal, he didn't deserve to have him as a subordinate. In Ning Guo's gang, everyone kept their distance from each other. You dare to covet me? Can your little temple contain this great god?

  The car was quiet for a while, and after driving for 40 minutes, An Wei led Jin Hu into an alley entrance and stopped the car: "Brother Hu, let's get off here, it's not easy to walk inside!"

  Jin Hu nodded after listening, pushed open the car door and walked out. He accidentally stepped on a can with one foot, making a "pa" sound. Jin Hu stretched out his foot and kicked the can away. A few people standing not far away glanced at Jin Hu, then turned their heads and continued chatting.

  Walking along the alley for about thirty meters, I finally arrived at the entrance of the bar. No wonder An Pei said it was not easy to walk in the alley, as there were many Harley-Davidson motorcycles parked inside. On the way, a couple passed by, and they started making out right on the car, with the woman grabbing her own breasts and screaming loudly.

  As soon as they entered the bar, everyone's eyes fell on Jinhu and Anxi. Jinhu looked around and saw that every single person was a white or black giant wearing leather clothes with tattoos all over their bodies, some even had tattoos on their faces. Jinhu couldn't help but feel disappointed, it was highly unlikely that he would find the person he was looking for here.

  Just as I was about to turn around and leave, a big man stumbled over, walking while laughing at the surroundings and saying: "Look! Who's here? Two Asians, what are you doing here? My thing has tasted Asian women, but not this guy yet. I heard that you Asian men have smaller things down there, so many women like to find us with bigger ones!"

  Jin Hu listened, his eyes narrowing, and walked forward, grabbing the big man's shoulders with both hands. With a burst of strength, he pressed the big man down to his knees, his knee caps facing the big man's face in an instant. The big man immediately covered his face and rolled around on the floor of the bar.

  Jin Hu stood up, looked around for three or four seconds, and the onlookers in the bar just reacted, immediately whistling sounded, "Oh! Rich! Your fat ass was exposed by someone? Are you satisfied now?"

  Two people who were not far away also rushed towards Jinhu.

  He walked through the middle of the two, and with a casual swing of his arm, he gave each of them a punch in the stomach. Jin Hu stopped, and the two men clutched their bellies and went to keep the first one company.

  At this time a man wearing a jacket with studs all over it walked up and said, "Don't make trouble in my place, if you want to drink I welcome you, but if you want to cause trouble go somewhere else."

  "I was thinking of coming in for a drink, but as soon as I walked in, there's this stench and you're telling us to leave!" Jin Hu said to the bar owner.

  He beckoned to Jin Hu and led him to the bar, where the bartender poured two glasses of wine onto the table and slid them over: "Your fighting skills are impressive!"

  Jin Hu smiled and picked up the wine gourd, drinking it all in one gulp: "Not bad! Let's have another!"
