Chapter 168 Wonder Woman's Humiliation
"Are you the boss here?"
The woman asked Peter aloud.
"Yes, I am the boss, how can I help?"
Peter looked at the other person and asked her.
"I'm looking for Todd Burley. Do you know where he is?"
"Actually, I've always wondered where he was."
Peter shrugged and said to her, "If you find him, maybe you can tell me, and..."
After a moment of pause, Peter narrowed his eyes and asked her: "In view of what happened in the bar today, may I ask, ma'am, why are you looking for Todd Burley?"
He estimated that the woman in front of him might be related to the disappearance of Todd Burley and the people who were burned to death in the bar.
"It's none of your business."
Seeing that she couldn't get any information from Peter, the woman shook her head in disappointment and turned to leave.
"You don't mind if I buy you a drink, ma'am."
Peter picked up the wine glass and asked the other party.
"Now not only the police want to find my manager, I guess there are more people looking for his whereabouts. Maybe if we talk, we can both gain something."
After hearing Peter's words, the woman thought for a moment.
After a while, she nodded, walked over to Peter and sat down.
"You are very interesting. You seem to be not afraid of trouble. When ordinary people encounter this kind of thing, they probably want to hide as far away as possible, let alone investigate."
The woman reveals her interest in Peter.
"I've always been a troublemaker."
Peter shrugged his shoulders and extended his hand to the other party, "I'm Peter Padrick."
Seeing Peter's extended hand, the woman's eyebrows moved, "I am Diana, Diana Prince."
Hearing the other party say the name "Diana Prince", Peter's expression was slightly stunned.
Is this woman in front of me Wonder Woman Diana Prince?
One of the Big Three of the Justice League?
A superhero as beautiful as Aphrodite, as smart as Athena, more agile than Hermes, and stronger than Hercules?
Is she debuting now? !
He looked at the other party again in surprise.
As for beauty, I cannot judge because I have never seen Aphrodite.
Although his body looks very strong under the weight of the leather jacket, it is probably not as good as Hercules.
Diana, who saw Peter slightly stunned, never expected that the other person was commenting on her appearance and figure.
She hesitated and asked Peter, "Have you heard my name?"
"No, probably not."
Peter pulled his thoughts back and said to her: "I just suddenly thought of something."
Diana, who had no doubt that he was there, nodded, "Todd Burley, since he is your manager, you should be familiar with him, right?"
"Actually, I'm not too familiar with it. Although I am the owner of this bar, I don't come here often."
Peter shook his head and continued: "I have a question. Did he provoke someone?"
"Yes, he has provoked some people who he must never touch. Those people have been looking for his whereabouts. If he is found, I guess his end will not be good."
Peter nodded to her and asked, "Like the customer who was burned to death before?"
"Pretty much, so he's in danger now."
Peter was aroused by what she said, "What about you? Miss Diana Prince, why do you have to find him before that group of people?"
"Sorry, I can't tell you yet, for your safety."
Diana said with a good-for-you expression, "Sometimes, the less you know, the better."
"That's not necessarily the case."
Peter picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the Long Island whiskey inside.
Seeing that she couldn't get the information she wanted from Peter, Diana said a few words, admonished Peter not to think about interfering, and then stood up and left.
Peter sat on the bar, looked at the back of the other party as he left, and asked the bartender to add some more ice tea to him.
At night.
The sound of strong music vibrated from the back door of a nightclub.
This is a dark alley. Apart from the dark shadows, there is only the dim neon reflected at the street entrance.
Todd, wrapped in a black windbreaker, stepped out of the long shadows.
He was wearing a black windbreaker, black leather shoes, and even though it was midnight, he still wore a pair of reflective sunglasses.
Just as his black leather shoes stepped onto the metal steps leading to the back door of the nightclub.
Todd's eyes moved imperceptibly, and he had already spotted a guy with skin as black as obsidian sneaking out from behind the trash can.
Da Laohei wore a black vest with his arms open in front, revealing his sweaty chest and chest hair that was not lush.
The door at the top of the steps opened a crack, letting in a ray of light.
Da Laohei followed quietly.
He stepped onto the steps and approached Todd with extra caution.
Although Todd was very nervous, he still tried his best to calm down and continued walking forward pretending to be unaware.
When the black man finally struck, Todd was ready.
The black man pulled out a dagger from his waist and moved towards Todd's arm, preparing to stab him first.
However, his knife missed the target. Todd quickly turned around and leaned on the railing next to him.
There was a flash of cold light, and Todd had a sharp knife in his hand.
Like a painter holding a paintbrush, he swung wildly at the black man.
But the black man was not an easy man. He hit Todd's wrist with his elbow, and the knife circled and landed on the metal step, disappearing with a clang.
At the same time, the back door of the nightclub opened with a creak, and loud music poured out like a mountain.
Enduring the pain, Todd leaned forward and grabbed the black man's head with both hands, as if he was about to eat a huge Big Mac burger.
In the next second, he took his mouth seriously, biting Da Laohei's nose like a zombie.
"ah!"
The black man whose nose was bitten screamed in pain, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground.
Blood was spattered everywhere on the walls and steps, and the black man screamed in pain.
Just when Todd was about to subdue the opponent.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two gunshots reached their ears.
Todd, who was startled by the gunshot, looked toward the steps, only to see another person suddenly appear on the top of the steps, a drug addict as thin as a monkey.
The other person was wearing a knitted hat with the brim pulled low, his face was pockmarked, and the .38 revolver in his hand was slowly smoking.
Two bullets hit the wall next to them, making a dull sound.
Seeing a gun appear in the opponent's hand, Todd immediately stopped his biting action.
The black man who finally broke free from Todd's teeth immediately reached out to cover his bloody face, and slowly squatted down to find his dagger.
"Fuck! Damn it!"
The black man cursed and couldn't help but gasp in pain.
Just as the two were about to attack the surrendered Todd, they suddenly heard a sound breaking through the air.
In Todd's shocked eyes, the two black men who were about to deal with him suddenly started fighting each other.
The black man was in a crazy state and stabbed the drug addict with the gun with the dagger in his hand.
In the dark night, he bared his teeth and looked ferocious, looking like a skull with lipstick on it.
The addict was stabbed in the shoulder by the black man, and his clothes were immediately soaked with blood.
The drug addict who was stabbed seemed to have lost all sense of pain, gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger on the black man's head.
"Bang" sound.
With a sound that sounded like bones breaking, the black man's brains flew apart like swill thrown by a chef, and drops of blood flowed down from his face.
The frightened Todd looked at the scene happening in front of him and was completely stunned.
He took a step back and looked at the drug addict who was in a daze and wanted to escape, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Peter standing in front of him.
"Old boss?!"
The frightened Todd looked at Peter with a cold face and stepped back in horror.
Peter grabbed his clothes and threw the opponent to the ground.
With a "bang", Todd fell heavily to the ground.
"Todd, you gave me a good search, and you gave me a lot of surprises."
Peter looked down at Todd who was lying on the ground and said to him, "Looks like we need to talk."
After searching in Todd's house to no avail, he used runes to track the other person's aura and finally found this guy here.
As soon as he arrived here, he saw two people attacking Todd, so he casually sketched runes to create an illusion, causing the two to fall into cannibalism.
Seeing that Todd seemed to have lost his mind, Peter asked in a calm tone: "Such a bad thing happened in the bar, why would you, a manager, hide? I hired you as a manager, is this how you repay me?"
"Boss, I didn't mean it. I have to hide, otherwise they will find me."
"who?"
"I don't know, but they're not human."
"Do you have anything from them in your hands?"
Peter asked him with a frown.
"Yes. No, I didn't. They wanted to know the whereabouts of a person from me."
As soon as Todd finished speaking, he heard footsteps coming from the alley.
"Ta! Ta! Ta!"
The sound of footsteps came from the other side of the alley, and Todd quickly stood up and hid behind Peter.
Under the dim light, the figure of the visitor gradually became clear.
"Mr. Padrick."
Diana was wrapped in her robe and looked at Peter, "We meet again."
"What a coincidence, Miss Diana."
"Mr. Padrick, you know I've been looking for him, so can you hand him over to me? I can keep him safe."
"I'm afraid not."
Peter shook his head, "He is my manager. Although I am a little disappointed with him, now I have to ensure his safety."
Diana didn't take Peter's words seriously.
She thought Peter was just an ordinary person, and she had extraordinary power, so she didn't need to talk nonsense to an ordinary person.
A "whoosh" sound!
Diana instantly moved to Todd's side and grabbed him.
"Bang!"
But the next second, Peter next to her firmly grasped her hand.
The stunned Diana was thrown out with a "thud".
