The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 381 - 338 The Sewer Quieted Down2

"Leave a contact number."

He took the money and said.

Jinzi imdiately rattled off a string of digits.

"Alright, wait for my ssage."

Liu Zheng patted the mirror’s shoulder and then continued to eat.

All the physical strength he had saved up was used up, and now that there was a big al, it would be a waste not to eat.

After he was sated with food and drink, he left the private room and returned to the n’s bath, where the Extre Flavor crew was waiting for him.

"Can’t you stop barging into our n’s bath? That’s borderline indecent exposure, you know?"

Liu Zheng griped at Guo Koutangzi.

"Then go report to the Security Departnt."

Guo Koutangzi shot back.

"You think I wouldn’t dare? Believe it or not, I’m calling City Hall right now."

He flew into a rage and imdiately pulled out his phone.

"Boss, cool it, cool it. Don’t stoop to her level,"

Garlic and Ginger pleaded as they hurriedly held him back.

"And you too, calling yourself ’big sis.’ You’re clearly happy that the boss is back, so why start with the bickering the mont you see each other?"

Chili Head and Ginger held back Guo Koutangzi.

"Humph, it’s his foul mouth."

Guo Koutangzi turned her face away.

"Humph, it’s her stubbornness."

Liu Zheng held his head high.

"Sigh."

The seasoning quartet sighed in unison.

Being underlings to this lot was their bad karma; their boss flirted and scorned, requiring them to not only spectate but also beco part of the play.

"Here, these are so local specialties I brought back for you from abroad."

Liu Zheng took out a jumble of ingredients from the takeaway box.

He had specifically saved these for the Extre Flavor crew, considering they might need them once they reopened the restaurant.

"Wow, thank you, boss!"

The seasoning quartet was overjoyed.

They had a keen eye and naturally knew the value of these ingredients.

Though the quantity wasn’t large, rarity added value.

When they reopened, using these foreign ingredients as the opening salvo was more than perfect.

"How much?"

Guo Koutangzi’s eyes glead too.

"Money? The opportunity to go abroad cost a thousand servings of at. How much do you think these ingredients are worth?"

Liu Zheng countered.

Guo Koutangzi fell silent.

A thousand servings of at—if they sold the entire Extre Flavor crew, they wouldn’t even co close to a fraction of that.

"Then I can’t afford it. Don’t want it."

She hesitated before saying.

"Pfft, vain old woman. You think I brought them for you? I brought them for these four."

Liu Zheng gave her a disdainful look.

"You! Want to bet I’ll make a soup out of you again?"

Guo Koutangzi roared with fury.

"Co on, let’s see if I don’t flatten your soup pot this ti."

He grabbed the Legendary Underwear, ready for the challenge.

"Will you two cut it out?"

Chili Head yelled even louder than both of them.

"Huh?"

Liu Zheng and Guo Koutangzi turned to look at him together.

This guy had the guts to yell at them; he was really flipping the heavens.

"If you two keep quarreling, go ahead and stew the four of us first. We’d be happier with the peace."

Chili Head straightened his neck and declared.

"Humph, fine. I’ll give the four of them face and not lower myself to her level."

"Like I’m the one lowering myself to yours."

The two exchanged another round of taunts, then quieted down.

"Right, about the rescue Jinzi asked to help with, do you guys know?"

Liu Zheng brought up the serious matter.

"Yeah. She asked ’Big Sister’ about you, but she only told what she could."

Chili Head replied.

"So is this thing reliable?"

He then asked.

"The Jinzi clan has deep roots in the bathhouse industry and a close relationship with our Chaos Club; in terms of credibility, they’re pretty secure."

Guo Koutangzi spoke nonchalantly.

Without steady earnings, there can be no steady heart. In a place like tropolis, the more stable the inco, the more trustworthy the group.

Of course, the more ways they have to renege on a deal too.

But the Jinzi clan had no need to break a deal, especially since they’d already paid him in advance.

Unless rescuing Seiko was just a ruse, and the real purpose was to lure him to his death on Bathhouse Street.

In that case, the masterminds would have to be either Peacock or Mr. Li.

"Do you think it’s possible that Peacock is the one pulling the strings behind the scenes?"

Liu Zheng spoke bluntly.

"That shouldn’t be the case, I haven’t heard about Peacock getting involved in the bathhouse industry."

Guo Koutangzi hesitated before responding.

"For soone like her, does the industry make any difference?"

He chuckled.

To be worlds apart is only true for ordinary people.

Once your power and wealth have reached an unimaginable level, many things beco limitless to you.

"Then I’ll investigate secretly for you."

Guo Koutangzi said.

"Alright. Do you need help with anything?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Not for the mont."

Guo Koutangzi shook his head.

"Fine, then I’m leaving."

"Won’t you have so soup before you go, Boss?"

Chili Head tried to keep him.

"No, I just ate too much, I can’t drink any more."

Liu Zheng patted his shoulder and left the n’s bath.

"Big sister, you’re not even going to keep the Boss a bit longer. He has helped our Extre Flavor Group so much."

Chili Head complained to Guo Koutangzi.

"You know he’s busy, too. Our little Extre Flavor Group can’t keep him around. Quit your yapping and get to soaking. Once you’re done, go and gather so intelligence for ."

Guo Koutangzi glared.

"Aye aye!"

The Condint Quartet bowed and then all jumped into the soup pool together.

Right after leaving Jidao Public Bath, Liu Zheng’s phone started to ring.

"The sewer’s quiet now, you can co down."

The Fisherman’s voice ca through the phone.

"Alright."

He hung up the phone, pulled out the Human Bone Wand, and sprinted to Rose Street.

If he were a normal person, such vigorous activity right after eating would at least cause an upset stomach if not outright vomiting, but Liu Zheng felt nothing of the sort.

It has to be said, when it cos to physical performance, a non-human body does have its advantages.

After giving a nod to French Plane Tree from afar, Liu Zheng descended into the sewer.

Coming out of the sewer tunnel, only the Fisherman was waiting for him.

"Where’s Brother Sha?"

Liu Zheng inquired.

"He’s more injured than I am, went to recover."

The Fisherman replied.

"He’s more injured than you?"

He eyed the Fisherman skeptically.

This ti Lao Deng had no missing arms or legs, but his clothes were tattered, and his skin was covered in many black granules, as if soone had sprayed him from head to toe with a dirt blaster.

"Wait, these black dots aren’t..."

He sniffed and pondered.

"If you dare to say it out loud, I’ll stuff all of them into your mouth."

The Fisherman threatened.

"Pssh, as if I haven’t eaten that kind of stuff before."

Liu Zheng mocked with a snort.

"You’re proud of that? If you’re so into eating crap, you might as well beco my assistant. I guarantee you’ll have more than you can eat every day."

The Fisherman said with a sidelong glance.

"Forget it, I respect the elderly too much. I’d be afraid you wouldn’t get enough to eat, and then the sea girl would accuse of mistreating her old man."

"Who the hell is your old man? Talk nonsense again, and I’ll throw you into the river right now to feed the fish!"

The Fisherman glared and blew his beard.

"Alright, then go with the sea girl to the Garbage Processing Plant by yourself."

"Is that all you’ve got, threatening with that? What else can you do?"

The Fisherman looked at him with contempt.

"Oh, I’ve got more. I could arrange for the sea girl and the Nightingale to have their wedding at the Chaos Club and then adopt a daughter who likes girls. When she grows up, she could work at the City Hall."

"Get stuffed!"

The Fisherman was beyond furious.

"I’m an orphan; I don’t have a mother, and no father either."

Liu Zheng calmly responded.

"Can’t you go a single day without being a pest? Can’t you?"

Hearing his words, the Fisherman’s rage subsided slightly as he spoke irritably.

"Stuck in this rotten place, doing this kind of crap job, I’ve got to either act the fool or go insane; otherwise, I can’t survive."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"Hmph, there are plenty of people who’d kill for your job; you should just be grateful."

The Fisherman retorted.

Bloody Restaurant was after all a force to be reckoned with in tropolis, and while they might be yes-n internally, they had the power to throw a heavy punch externally.

Just that alone made them stronger than 99.9% of the other organizations in tropolis.

"Then soone else can enjoy this ’blessing.’ Help navigate the sewer."

Liu Zheng got down to business.
