Chapter 672 Bar

After the soldiers walked up to Bai Ye, they suddenly knelt down on one knee in unison, placed their right fists on their chests, and performed a standard military salute. This sudden move made the atmosphere in the tavern freeze instantly. Everyone's eyes were focused on Bai Ye, with surprise and confusion written on their faces.

"Sir, we have had a hard time looking for you!" The leading soldier's voice contained a hint of excitement and awe. He looked up at Bai Ye, his eyes shining with loyalty. This call was like an earth-shattering shock, instantly breaking the tranquility in the tavern.

"Bai Ye? He is Bai Ye?!" The guests around him exclaimed, their eyes widening in disbelief, as if they had seen some incredible sight. Some people even stood up excitedly, wanting to get closer to see the legendary hero more clearly.

Bai Ye was stunned for a moment, and then a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He didn't expect that his identity would be revealed here, let alone that he would be found by his men in this way. He gently raised his hand to signal the soldiers to stand up.

"Everyone, please get up. No need to be polite." Bai Ye's voice was gentle but strong. He looked around and nodded to the guests who were a little flustered due to surprise, as a gesture of comfort.

Upon hearing this, the soldiers stood up quickly and stood up straight, as if the scene just now had never happened. They all stepped aside to make way for Bai Ye. The guests in the tavern began to discuss enthusiastically. They excitedly exchanged their knowledge and guesses about Bai Ye, and the whole tavern was once again filled with laughter.

Bai Ye didn't leave immediately. He walked to the bar and ordered another glass of ale. He picked up the wine glass and shook it gently, looking through the crowd as if he was thinking about something. He knew that after his identity was exposed, the days to come would probably not be peaceful. But he also understands that as one of the city's guardians, he must shoulder his responsibilities and obligations.

At this moment, the middle-aged woman, the owner of the tavern, came over. She was smiling all over her face, and her eyes were shining with admiration and gratitude. "Sir Baiye, I really didn't expect you to come to the store. Please allow me to prepare a special gift for you to express our respect and gratitude to you."

Bai Ye smiled slightly and declined the boss's kindness. "No need, I'm just an ordinary person, and I just want to experience the life of ordinary people here. I have already felt your enthusiasm, and that is enough."

When the boss heard this, although he was a little disappointed, he was more impressed by Bai Ye. She nodded, stepped aside, and continued to work. Bai Ye continued to sit there, enjoying this rare tranquility and freedom.

As time went by, the guests in the tavern gradually dispersed, leaving only a few chatting in low voices. Bai Ye also finished the ale in his glass and prepared to leave. He stood up, nodded slightly to thank his boss, then turned and walked out the door.

However, just as he was about to step out of the tavern door, a familiar voice suddenly sounded. "Sir Baiye, please wait a moment."

Bai Ye stopped and looked back. I saw a young girl running over in a hurry, with a bit of shyness and nervousness on her face. "I...I am a regular visitor here, and I have always admired you. I am really happy to see you today. I...I want to give you something."

With that said, the girl took out a small badge from her pocket and handed it to Bai Ye. The badge is engraved with an eagle flying high, with a determined light shining in its eyes.

"I made this with my own hands. Although it's not worth much, I think it should represent my respect and gratitude to you." The girl's voice trembled slightly, but her eyes were extremely firm.

Bai Ye looked at the badge in the girl's hand, and felt a warm current in her heart. He took the badge, looked at it carefully for a moment, then smiled and nodded. "Thank you, I like it very much. I will treasure this badge well."

After saying that, Bai Ye thanked the girl again and strode out of the tavern. The night wind blew against his face, bringing a bit of coolness, but his heart was filled with warmth and strength. He knows that no matter how many difficulties and challenges await him in the future, as long as he has the support and trust of the people, he will never be alone.

In the tavern, the girl looked at Bai Ye's leaving figure with tears in her eyes. She knew she had just done something very brave. She not only expressed her respect and gratitude to her idol, but also conveyed a kind of belief and strength invisibly-that is, no matter what situation she is in, as long as she has hope and courage, she can overcome all difficulties and challenges.

The moment Bai Ye stepped out of the tavern, the night seemed a little darker, but the lights of the city were still bright, illuminating his path forward. He took a deep breath of the crisp night air, and an inexplicable impulse surged in his heart, driving him towards the high-end residential area. There, there was another completely different world hidden there, a place that he rarely set foot in, but that could always arouse his curiosity at certain moments.

As the steps progressed, the surrounding scene gradually changed. The streets have become wider, and the buildings on both sides have become more luxurious. Each building is like a carefully carved work of art, exuding a charming light in the night. There are few pedestrians, but every passing figure seems so calm and leisurely, as if this is another world, a secret garden that only belongs to the upper class.

Bai Ye shuttled through such an environment, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart. He was not unfamiliar with such a life. After all, as one of the guardians of the city, he had long been accustomed to dealing with people from all walks of life. But at this moment, he was more like an ordinary explorer, with a hint of curiosity and expectation, wanting to unveil the mysterious veil of this area.

Finally, he came to the door of the high-end bar. The name of the bar was inlaid on the black sign with golden fonts, which was simple but noble, revealing a low-key sense of luxury. There were two waiters in uniform standing at the door. When they saw Bai Ye coming, they immediately stepped forward and greeted him with standard etiquette.

"Good evening, sir. Welcome to the 'Night City'." The waiter's voice was low and magnetic. They politely asked Bai Ye if he had a reservation, but they could not hide a trace of curiosity in their eyes. After all, it was rare for guests to come here alone during this time.

Bai Ye smiled and shook his head, indicating that he was on impulse. The waiters did not ask much, but respectfully opened the door for him and led him into the bar.

As soon as he stepped into the bar, Bai Ye was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him. Different from the civilian pub before, everything here looks so delicate and elegant. Soft lights sprinkled on every inch of space, creating a warm and mysterious atmosphere. Behind the bar, the bartenders were busy mixing various cocktails, their movements were skillful and elegant, as if they were performing a silent dance.

There were not many guests in the bar, but each one looked so different. They either talked in a low voice or tasted wine alone, each immersed in his own world, enjoying this rare tranquility and relaxation. The air was filled with various aromas of wine and a faint scent of perfume, which made people involuntarily indulge in it.

Bai Ye found a seat by the window and sat down. The waiter immediately came forward to ask his needs. He did not order wine, but just asked for a glass of water, wanting to observe the atmosphere here first. He looked around and found that most of the guests here were well-dressed and well-behaved, and they were obviously the elite class in this city. Although the conversation between them was whispered, the occasional words revealed their extraordinary identity and status.

Bai Ye sat there quietly, but his mind was full of thoughts. He thought of his past experiences, those days of fighting life and death and fighting against fate. Compared with the comfort and luxury here, those days seemed so distant and cruel. But it was those experiences that shaped him now and made him cherish the peace and tranquility in front of him more.

Just then, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in his sight. It was a man in a black suit with a stern face, who was talking to several guests with the same extraordinary temperament. Bai Ye was slightly stunned, and then recognized the man-he was another important figure in the city and one of his former comrades-in-arms.

The man seemed to have noticed Bai Ye's presence. He tilted his head slightly and met Bai Ye's eyes in the air. Neither of them spoke, but communicated with each other's thoughts with their eyes. After a moment, the man smiled slightly, raised the wine glass in his hand and gestured to Bai Ye, and then continued to talk with the guests.

Bai Ye also smiled back, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that no matter where he went, no matter what he became, there would always be some people who would remember him and care about him. This friendship is more precious and warmer than any material thing.

He took a sip of water from the glass, feeling the coolness and sweetness. He knew that he still had a long way to go and many responsibilities to bear. But no matter how the future changes, he will stick to his beliefs and principles and protect this city and its residents.

At this moment, the "Night City" is like a short-term safe haven, allowing him to temporarily forget those troubles and pressures and enjoy this rare tranquility and freedom. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if to keep this feeling in his heart forever.

Just as Bai Ye was immersed in his personal thoughts and this tranquility, the atmosphere in the bar suddenly changed subtly. The originally low conversation was gradually replaced by a slight commotion, and an indescribable excitement quietly spread in the air. Bai Ye opened his eyes and noticed a hint of unusual breath. He looked in the direction of the crowd and saw several customers staring at him with an incredible look.

At first, Bai Ye thought it was just a coincidence or a misunderstanding, but then, the expressions of those customers changed from surprise to ecstasy, and their eyes flashed with fanaticism and awe. One of the young women suddenly stood up, her hands trembling with excitement, pointing at Bai Ye, her voice slightly sharp due to excitement: "It's... it's him! It's Lord Bai Ye!"

This shout was like a stone thrown into the lake, stirring up layers of ripples. The surrounding customers turned their heads, and when their eyes fell on Bai Ye, they showed the same expression on their faces. For a while, exclamations rang out in the bar one after another. Some people rubbed their eyes in disbelief, while others excitedly shared this amazing discovery with their companions.

"Lord Bai Ye! Is it really you? We can actually see you here!"

"I have always been your loyal fan, and your heroic deeds inspire me to move forward!"

"Please let me do something for you, Lord Bai Ye!"

Faced with this sudden enthusiasm and admiration, Bai Ye seemed a little overwhelmed. He had never thought that he would be recognized in such an occasion, let alone cause such a sensation. He tried to stand up and comfort these excited customers, but the moment he stood up, an even more shocking scene happened.

Several customers knelt down almost at the same time, their faces full of piety and admiration, with their hands clasped together, as if praying to a god. Such actions quickly spread throughout the bar, and more and more people joined the ranks of kneeling, with tears flashing in their eyes and mumbling in their mouths, expressing their endless gratitude and admiration for Bai Ye.

Bai Ye was stunned. He had never seen such a spectacular scene, and he had never thought that he would become such an important existence in everyone's hearts. He hurried forward and wanted to help the kneeling customers up, but there were so many people that he could not take care of them one by one.

"Everyone, get up quickly, don't do this..." Bai Ye's voice was filled with a hint of anxiety and helplessness. He understood the deep affection behind this admiration, but he also knew that he was just an ordinary person and could not bear such heavy admiration.

However, the customers did not seem to hear his call. They were still immersed in their own world, expressing their deepest respect for Bai Ye by kneeling. The atmosphere in the bar became extremely solemn and sacred, as if a grand ceremony was taking place here.

At this moment, the owner and waiters of the bar also noticed the abnormality. They acted quickly, calming the emotions of the customers while guiding everyone to restore order. After some efforts, the customers finally calmed down gradually. They stood up, but their eyes still flashed with admiration and gratitude for Bai Ye.

Bai Ye looked at this scene with mixed feelings. He knew that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he also understood the expectations and trust behind this admiration. He took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Thank you for your support and trust. I, Bai Ye, just did what I should do. In the days to come, I will continue to work hard to protect this city and its residents."

After hearing these words, the customers around him not only did not stand up, but became more respectful and obedient. Their faces were full of admiration for Bai Ye, and some even shed tears.
