The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 506 - 399: Not Only Very Curvy, But Also Rotates2

The deputy minister gave him a glance, and her expression was unexpectedly flirtatious.

"Hmm?"

Yaoji imdiately beca alert.

"That’s just how I am, yielding and compliant internally, but striking with heavy punches externally. I wonder if the deputy minister wants to be an outsider or an insider to ?"

Liu Zheng’s tone also beca frivolous.

"I do have a husband, you know. Aren’t you afraid he’ll co after you for flirting with ?"

The deputy minister joked.

"A woman as beautiful and competent as you, willing to take a few more husbands, would be our good fortune."

He said with an unchanging face.

"You sure have a way with words. Co with ."

The deputy minister took hold of his sleeve and walked out of the room.

Yaoji was about to follow without a word, but she stopped him with a hand.

"Yaoji, don’t think for a mont that I won’t dare to touch you. I’m here to talk business, to borrow your man for a bit. You’d best not be ungrateful."

The deputy minister said.

"Hmph."

Yaoji glanced at her and then Liu Zheng, remaining in place.

"I’m not sure what the deputy minister would like to discuss with ?"

Upon reaching another room, Liu Zheng eagerly asked.

"Do you really know the Tomb Guardian of the cetery?"

The deputy minister’s expression turned serious.

"I know him, but not as a friend, just business interactions. And, I have sothing he could hold against ."

He replied with equal solemnity.

"You’re quite honest."

The deputy minister said, sowhat surprised.

"When speaking to a smart person, one should be a bit more honest, right? That’s how to improve communication efficiency, isn’t it?"

Liu Zheng revealed a sincere smile.

"Yaoji is really lucky, I’m a bit jealous."

The deputy minister’s eyes slightly lifted, beckoning him.

"I’m easily seduced, any beautiful female stands a chance."

He returned with an ambiguous look.

"Ha, believe you, and there’ll be hell to pay. n like you, if soone really falls for you, even sacrificing their life wouldn’t be enough."

"Alright, let’s talk seriously. I know soone who wants to buy a specific plot in the cetery, can you manage it?"

The deputy minister gave him a glance and said.

"May I ask why?"

Liu Zheng inquired.

Honestly, he was reluctant to deal with the Tomb Guardian.

With other big shots, he could sort of sense what they wanted, but the Tomb Guardian felt as elusive as the Red Ghost to him.

However, unlike the Red Ghost, who bore no ill intentions towards him except for the first encounter, all subsequently initiated by Liu Zheng himself, one couldn’t say the sa for the Tomb Guardian.

Thus, if it could be resolved by other ans, that would certainly be better.

"I’ve taken a fancy to a house, but the owner says they’ll only sell it to if I secure that plot for them, and with a sixty percent discount."

The deputy minister hesitated before saying.

"A sixty percent discount is quite significant."

Such a discount on a house sale, even in the real world let alone in the tropolis, was enough to call the seller ’father-in-law.’

Such deals were either out of personal connections or sothing like a debt settlent.

If it were just a pie falling from the sky, there would definitely be a catch behind it, like a haunted house or sothing.

Oh, I forgot, this is the tropolis, where a haunted house might actually be a selling point?

"Yes, if I miss this opportunity, I’ll have to save up for another decade or more."

The deputy minister nodded.

"Is the owner sure that the plot is unclaid?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Of course not, it has an owner."

"He still wants it even though it has an owner?"

He widened his eyes in astonishnt.

"It’s precisely because it has an owner that he wants to figure out a way, otherwise he would’ve bought it himself, wouldn’t he?"

The deputy minister explained.

"That makes sense. How about this—I can try to inquire for you, but I can’t guarantee success. If it doesn’t work out, I can subsidize part of your ho purchase cost, how about that?"

Liu Zheng pondered before suggesting.

"Then you should pay a deposit first."

Of course, the deputy minister wouldn’t be fooled by empty promises.

"Sure, how much do you want?"

He asked.

"I want..."

The deputy minister was just about to speak when she suddenly swallowed her words.

"You’re not from Bathhouse Street, are you?"

She sized up Liu Zheng and inquired.

"Correct."

He willingly admitted.

"Do you know many people in the city?"

The deputy minister asked further.

"Not that many."

After all, just under thirty, any local would know more people than he did.

"What kind of people do you know? Can you ntion so?"

The deputy minister seed quite interested.

"Not in a hurry now?"

"Guna His Excellency is enjoying the afterglow, we still have a bit of ti."

The deputy minister said.

"Alright. Well, it’s nothing special, just so company managers, departnt heads, formal employees of the City Hall, individual business owners, landmark agents, things like that."

Liu Zheng casually stated.

"What’s a landmark agent?"

The deputy minister inquired.

"Have you heard of the black market?"

He gave an example.

"I have, it seems that even the City Hall can’t control it. There are many things there that can’t be bought elsewhere."

The deputy minister thought before speaking.

"Hmm, I know a big shot in there. There’s also the sewer, the Bloody Restaurant, the Red Witch board ga café..."

He listed them one by one.

"You know the agents from all those places?"

The deputy minister’s eyes widened in astonishnt.

"I know them, but the relationships vary from good to bad."

Liu Zheng spread his hands.

"With all that ability, why are you still working at our bathhouse?"

The deputy minister eyed him suspiciously.

"Do you want to know why?"

He said with a half-smile.

"I don’t."

The deputy minister shook her head vigorously.

"Good choice, you do your thing, I’ll do mine, and we all abide by the rules of the bathhouse. Once you leave the bathhouse and co to the city, I’ll take good care of you."

Liu Zheng’s voice carried a tone of an elder brother.

"How do you plan to take care of ?"

The deputy minister threw him a coquettish glance.
