As miners were rugged people, the party that they organized was also very rugged.
Marcos booked the entire Planet Star Bar and invited mine owners, miners, and a few familiar town residents to celebrate his surviving the great catastrophe.
Similar to what Li Du saw during his first time at the bar, there was all sorts of beer, cocktails, pizzas, sandwiches, hamburgers, and roasted meat as well as various kinds of music playing loudly. However, there were no strippers.
It just so happened that miners loved strippers the most. With a bottle of beer in hand, someone found Marcos and asked, ”Where are the ladies at? How come there aren't any ladies coming over?”
Marcos gave a warm smile and replied, ”Hey, Big Kane, my good friend. There won't be stripteases for you to watch today, just quietly drink your beer.”
Big Kane patted him on his shoulders and said in a displeased manner, ”God, are you teasing me? Isn't inviting a group of miners to a party implying that there will be strippers?”
Marcos responded, ”Since there are women among the VIPs, I think that having strippers should be avoided.”
Right after Big Kane left in disappointment, someone else walked over and asked, ”Why are the ladies who are performing the stripteases not here yet?”
Marcos smiled and replied, ”There won't be any stripteases today…”
After Marcos handled the inquiries from several people, Aubrey ultimately shouted, ”There won't be any stripteases today. We will only be drinking beer today.”
Hearing his words, the miners let out a sigh of disappointment and finally stopped pestering Marcos.
Despite that, Marcos did not feel that he was being pestered. As he was in an exceptionally good mood, he handled any inquiries with a huge smile on his face.
Li Du specially complimented him. ”You are a really good-tempered fella.”
In a carefree manner, Marcos said, ”I was extremely bad tempered in the past. When I was in the tunnel, I realized how precious life was, that every day and every hour was very precious, and that I ought to treasure them and treasure life. As such, why would I want to be angry?”
Aubrey responded, agreeing, ”Yes, Boss Marcos. I swear that I will also become a good-tempered fella. Now…”
From behind, someone splashed a bottle of beer onto the top of Aubrey's head. Before finishing his sentence, Aubrey's face suddenly turned red, ”F*ck, who the f*ck wants to meet God and have a chat with him? How dare you provoke me?”
Li Du and Marcos simultaneously burst into laughter. Following which, Marcos raised his cup at Li Du and both of them toasted each other.
There were people constantly coming over to pat Li Du on his shoulder and toast him. In less than half an hour since the party started, there were already at least a dozen groups of people coming over to toast Li Du.
Marcos brought Li Du to the bar counter. A bartender asked, ”Marcos, 12 barrels of our home brewed beer have already been emptied. Still want to continue serving?”
”Why not?” Marcos responded, ”Continue serving the beer to make everyone happy, happy!”
”Oh yeah!” The people nearby, who had heard his words, cheered.
Li Du said, ”Seems like there will be a huge hole in your wallet today.”
Marcos responded, ”Happiness is the most important. Furthermore, this is my last party in Lightning Ridge. I hope to make it as grand and spectacular as possible.”
Taken aback by his words, Li Du asked, ”What do you mean? Last party?”
Marcos took a sip of beer, leaned on the bar counter, and said, ”Oh, I want to leave Lightning Ridge. It's too noisy here. Let's go out and talk?”
