Although Abyss looked a little lonely when he came in, the bargirl with sharp eyes still could know something from his handmade Italian suit.
"Hey, sir, first time to come here? Would you like to drink something or get a private room? I'll take you there!"
The woman's pungent perfume reminded Abyss of Mango again.
Mango always smelled fresh, there seemed to be a unique fragrance on her body, which was adorable.
"Go away!"
Abyss pushed her away and came to the bar alone.
When the procuress saw that the young lady had been pushed away, she hurried forward to greet him.
"Sir, this is your first time to come here, right? It's quite noisy outside. Why don't you get a private room? You can drink or play, and your privacy is absolutely guaranteed. Well, you must be a big shot in this city. It won't do you any good if there's some bad press about you tomorrow. What do you think, sir?"
The procuress was really good at socializing.
Abyss was not familiar with this place. When he heard what the procuress said, he thought for a moment and said, "Find me a remote single room. The more private it is, the better. As long as no one is disturbing me, money won't be a problem."
"Fine! This way, please. There is a remote single room on the first floor, which is close to the basement. Not many people would go there, it's a good choice for you, sir."
"Let's go."
Abyss just wanted a place to stay, drinking and licking his wounds alone. He didn't want anyone to see his weakness.
He got no pride in front of Mango, and he didn't want others to see him in a mess.
The procuress had seen too much of the world, people like Abyss, who came here to get drunk for the sake of love, didn't want to be disturbed. So Abyss was quickly brought to a remote private room.
"Sir, do you need special service?"
The procuress did not forget her own job and asked in a hurry.
"No. Now get out! No one is allowed to come in without my permission!"
Abyss took the dollars out of his wallet and directly threw it on the table.
Then the procuress hurriedly took the money and went out because of Abyss's generosity.
Abyss saw that the decoration here was quite exquisite. Although it was extravagant, it could please him right now after all.
Squandering money and getting drunk was the most absurd thing he had ever done in his life. But so what? Who would care?
Mango was probably currently living a happy life by her son's side in the Ocean City.
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
The waiter brought in the wine.
"Sir, this is the wine you want. If you need anything, just ring the bell next to your hand."
"Got it. You can leave now."
Then the waiter walked out.
Abyss opened the wine bottle by himself, and there's no need to use a cup because he's the only one here, who cared if he's not drinking gracefully?
He raised his head and poured a bottle of XO into his mouth.
The spicy feeling stimulated his taste buds, which was somewhat unbearable, but felt great.
He drank a bottle after a bottle, then he heard a woman's screaming in a trance.
The voice sounded so familiar, a bit like Mango's.
Abyss felt that he was really hallucinating.
Mango was now accompanying her child in the Ocean City. Why would she come here?
He picked up another bottle of wine and poured it into his stomach. The sound outside became more intense.
Abyss was slightly stunned.
Why did it sound so Mango? He couldn't help but get up and open the door of the private room. The voice came from the basement next door.
Because he had opened the door of the private room, he could hear it more clearly.
Who else could it be if the cries were not from Mango?
In the past five years, Abyss had been too familiar with her voice.
Mango was here?
Abyss suddenly threw down the bottle and rushed to the basement.
At the entrance of the basement, a guard saw Abyss coming over with a smell of alcohol. The man thought Abyss had gone to the wrong place, so quickly stopped him and said, "Sir, I'm sorry, you went to the wrong place. Here's our basement, if you're looking for your room, that way please."
Abyss was stopped.
He knew what he's doing, and the cries came from inside again, as if she was suffering some kind of torment.
Abyss was anxious, but he couldn't let it out and asked faintly, "What's the sound? Clear and loud, do you offer that special service here?"
Abyss deliberately misinterpreted it into SM.
Just as Abyss was about to step forward, the man slapped Mango in the face and cursed, "B*tch, you're so stubborn. Believe it or not, I'm going to f*ck you right now!"
"Stop!"
Abyss suddenly made a sound, which shocked everyone here.
Mango suddenly looked up and saw Abyss standing at the door of the basement looking straight at her.
She never thought that she would meet Abyss here. Was this God's blessing for her?
In other words, she was currently in the United States?
Mango was excited to see Abyss, with tears in her eyes. When she was about to say something, she heard Abyss say, "If you touch her, you won't be able to sell her at a good price tomorrow. I like this woman, and I like her very much. No matter how much the price is tomorrow, I will accept it. From now on, you can't beat or even touch her again. If I see one single wound on her body tomorrow, then forget about your business!"
"Who are you? How did you get in here? George, you brought someone in again!"
The man with the whip shouted at George, the guard in the front door who just let Abyss in.
George scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Boss, he said he's a customer. I was just doing our business, okay?"
"Bullsh*t! It's none of your business? Are you stupid?"
Abyss did not care about what they were talking about. There was a hint of worry and urgency in his eyes when he looked at Mango, but he said sternly, "I'm gonna say it again. Don't hit her. Do you hear me?"
"Who are you? How dare you command me like that? Do you know that I'm quite somebody in this area? My name is..."
"I'm Abyss Tang! As long as you still want to stay in the United States, just do as I say. If I see any more fresh scars on her tomorrow, don't blame me for being rude."
Abyss revealed his identity.
As soon as the man heard Abyss's name, he immediately wuss out.
"Tang, Mr. Tang?"
"Did you hear what I said?"
"Yes, of course! I promise I won't beat her anymore. Just wait for Mr. Tang to buy her tomorrow."
The man was very respectful. After all, in the whole United States, no one dared to offend the Tang family.
Abyss looked at Mango and said with distress, "Wait for me. I'll be here tomorrow to take you away."
Mango nodded.
Every time when she was in the most desperate situation, Abyss would appear in front of her. How could she repay this kindness?
