Chapter 354: Chapter 353: It’s Called Hell Only When There’s Fire

Lin Tian’s appearance was like dropping a bomb on a tranquil lake, the calm waters explosively disturbed. The once quiet bar began to buzz with increasing gasps of surprise, the murmurs swelling as if they might rip open the roof.

Seeing Lin Tian approaching, the crowd around the table automatically parted, making way for him. Leading the way, Lin Tian walked confidently, with Liu Wenxing and Lu Jia following behind, chest out, feeling as though Lin Tian had a kind of magic power, commanding passage wherever he went.

As the crowd parted, Futian Shenyi and Bai Yufeng also caught sight of Lin Tian, furrowing their brows and displaying a resentful glare.

"Brother Tian," Fan Lei stood up and called out his greeting.

"Brother Tian, you’ve arrived!" Li Wenxuan cried out, trying to suppress the burning sensation in his stomach and attempting to rise to welcome him.

Just as he stood up, however, he felt the room spin and was about to fall when Lin Tian quickly reached his side. Pretending to warmly greet him by patting on his shoulder, Lin Tian’s hand simultaneously pushed him back into his seat.

Even so, Mr. Jingxia across noticed something was off with Li Wenxuan and sneered coldly, "Give up now or your life won’t be spared!"

Bai Yufeng and Futian Shenyi merely watched, remaining silent as if resolved to let the foot soldiers lead the charge.

Li Wenxuan wanted to stand and react angrily, but he could barely muster any strength. Naturally, Lin Tian would not let him embarrass himself publicly. While patting his shoulder, Lin Tian’s wrist subtly shook, exposing the tip of the golden needle.

With a flick of Lin Tian’s wrist, invisible to others, he had swiftly needled Li Wenxuan at the Fengchi Acupoint, Wangu Acupoint, Ganyu acupoint, and Kidney Acupoint, completing a round of acupuncture with special manipulation.

The Fengchi and Wangu acupoints alleviated Li Wenxuan’s dizziness, while the Ganyu and Kidney acupoints were specifically effective for alcohol detoxification, stimulating the liver and accelerating the disintegration of alcohol, partially through the kidneys to the bladder and partially evaporating through sweat.

Li Wenxuan only felt a numb sensation at his neck and back, followed by a surge of warmth at his lower back, rising along his spine to the back of his head, over the crown, down his cheeks to his lower abdomen.

As the warmth surged, Li Wenxuan’s palms began to sweat profusely, beads of sweat forming and running down to the floor.

Then he felt the scorching pain of the alcohol inside his body swiftly fade, his mind clearing rapidly.

"Brother Tian, you?" Li Wenxuan turned to look at Lin Tian, his face filled with astonishment, realizing that this improvement could only come from Lin Tian’s intervention.

"You’re alright now, no need to worry," Lin Tian whispered to him.

Li Wenxuan had always admired Lin Tian and believed him unconditionally. In his eyes, Lin Tian became even more enigmatic.

On the other side, Mr. Jingxia, seeing Li Wenxuan’s continued silence and thinking he was done for, spoke again, "If you keep silent, that means you concede defeat!"

"Really? My friend is just fine. The one who should admit defeat is you," Lin Tian turned to look at him, speaking calmly.

"Ha, so you are the boss, Lin Tian? Very well. Your manager, Manager Lu, has mishandled things, allowing a server to disrespect a customer. Have her come over here, drink with me and apologize!" Mr. Jingxia’s gaze shifted to Lu Jia, his eyes immediately lit up with desire upon seeing her striking figure and mature charm.

"Of course, you can challenge me to a drinking contest. If you lose, it won’t just be a beauty apologizing with a drink; you will also have to admit to selling fake alcohol and post an apology. You can refuse the challenge, but that would just prove, Huaxia men are no good!" Mr. Jingxia said provocatively, his tone laden with mockery.

Lin Tian’s gaze sharpened, and a cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes, his expression cold and indifferent as he said, "It seems you don’t know what it means to wish you were dead!"

"Brother Tian, you should be careful, this Japanese guy is a bit sinister, even though he seemed to have reached his limit like me, he suddenly got better, it’s too eerie," Li Wenxuan warned quietly, afraid that Lin Tian would rashly agree to the drinking contest.

He was straightforward in his actions and words, but that didn’t mean he was a foolish brute who would bluntly say, "Brother Tian, you are my idol, you have to beat him." Only someone not in their right mind would utter such childish fanboy words.

Although he had drunk quite a bit, his mind was still clear, and Li Wenxuan wanted Lin Tian to see the situation clearly before fighting.

Lin Tian suddenly smiled, signaled him to relax, then turned to Mr. Jingxia and said, "Drinking Hell Tequila like this, I’m not interested."

"What? Are you scared?" Bai Yufeng mocked.

"Haha, everyone says the owner of Night Rose Bar is so formidable, but that’s all there is to it!" Mr. Jingxia laughed heartily, his laugh full of contempt.

Many in the audience were seeing Lin Tian for the first time, and seeing him reluctant to accept the challenge, they were somewhat disappointed, even their looks towards Lin Tian were disdainful.

But they never considered that when the Japanese person provoked earlier, they themselves didn’t dare to respond.

Lin Tian’s expression remained unchanged, and he said to the bartender, "Beautiful, fill up both cups."

Although the female bartender didn’t know what Lin Tian planned, she still filled the two cups on the table. The cups held more than a pound each, whereas the four previous cups hadn’t even filled half.

"Damn, Lin Tian wouldn’t be thinking of drinking a cup at once, right? That will kill someone!" Someone in the crowd exclaimed.

"I don’t know, the record for drinking Hell Shooter before was two cups, but the four cups just now already broke Xikou City’s highest record. If he drinks a cup at once, this would go in the Guinness Records," another person cried out.

Liu Wenxing leaned in, whispering to Lin Tian, "Brother Tian, are you really thinking of one cup at once?"

"Brother Tian, you’re joking, right?" Li Wenxuan and Fan Lei said in surprise.

Mr. Jingxia, looking at the cup of liquor in front of him, could no longer laugh. He raised his head and frowned, saying to Lin Tian, "Sir, are you intending to challenge a cup?"

His manners had changed; he no longer addressed him as "you," instead using "Sir." Everyone’s eyes were on Lin Tian, waiting for his response. Those who were initially disappointed in Lin Tian couldn’t make a sound now, even feeling somewhat ashamed.

Lin Tian looked at him calmly, as if he were observing prey, thinking to touch Lu Jia’s beauty, not making you suffer a bit, you wouldn’t know what Hell means!

"This liquor is called Hell Tequila, but sadly, it doesn’t look anything like Hell," Lin Tian answered off-topic, leaving everyone puzzled about what he meant. He continued with a cold laugh, "Why not add some fire to it, only with fire can it be called Hell."

Lin Tian pulled out a lighter, ignited it, and then set the Hell Tequila in the cup alight. The alcohol, over seventy degrees, burst into flames upon contact with the open flame, spreading blue flames across the surface in the blink of an eye.

The blue flames burned quietly, like the ghostly fire of the Netherworld!
