Chapter 1033: Chapter 14: Darkness Game (3 updates, 10,000 words)

Tang Zheng deliberately showed a tense expression on his face, glanced around to make sure no one was looking, and then walked towards ******** Anna got excited. Sleeping with a handsome man and earning a commission—there was nothing more wonderful than this. So, she made her teasing pose even more revealing by pulling down the neckline of her leopard print top.

"How much?" Those natives had been cursing in English, and they all looked like Europeans or Americans, so Tang Zheng chose to use English.

"A rookie!" Upon hearing Tang Zheng’s question and seeing the unease on his face, Anna was sure of her guess—this was a lamb ready for the slaughter. She stretched out five fingers, "Five hundred US dollars."

"Okay, where to? An inn, or your home?" Tang Zheng’s performance was spot on, perfectly capturing the image of a first-time client—and indeed, it was his first time.

"To the inn, we need to pay rent. To my home, we only need a small symbolic fee." Anna thought about her daughter who might be at home, but the lure of earning more overcame her reluctance.

"Your place?" Tang Zheng put on a distrusting expression, "I’d rather choose an inn. Do you know which one is the safest? You know, secluded and undisturbed?"

"Then go to the Dali Hua, the best inn in South City." Anna pouted and silently cursed him for being so cautious.

"No, I want to find one less crowded. I don’t want to be seen." Tang Zheng hesitated, "Never mind, I won’t go."

"Hey? Don’t go, I know another. It won’t expose your identity." Anna thought Tang Zheng cared about his face and worried the fat lamb might slip away, so she quickly grabbed his hand, "It’s just that the conditions are a bit worse."

"Are there any gangs around?" Anna had a decent figure, but the heavy makeup on her face made Tang Zheng feel queasy.

"What do you need to know that for?" Anna grew suspicious, "Are you from the East? What are you doing in the City of God?"

"Business!"

"Lots of smugglers say they’re here for business, do you have money?" Anna sized Tang Zheng up, his sportswear pockets looked empty, far from the appearance of a wealthy person, she voiced her doubts, "Pay up front, then I’ll talk!"

Tang Zheng shrugged his shoulders. Having met a cunning ***** he had to be tough, so he reached out and grabbed her by the throat.

Anna suddenly felt suffocated, her arms flailing as that strong, muscular arm lifted her off the ground. She tried to find her footing, her high-heels flying off into a puddle.

** She wanted to scream for help, but she couldn’t utter a word.

"Abusing a ***** rewards one Sin Point." The wristwatch suddenly gave a hint, startling Tang Zheng, who then felt disgusted. He hated this kind of mission.

"Answer my questions truthfully, or you can go die." Tang Zheng’s right hand loosened slightly, then he pushed ** against the wall.

Anna gasped for breath and nodded eagerly.

"How many gangs are in South City? Which is the biggest? Where is their stronghold?" Tang Zheng still planned to start with them, to rob money and weapons.

"About a dozen, the biggest one is Tuna, their stronghold is at the Black Blood Bar." Anna was well-informed—after all, in addition to paying off policemen each month, they also had to pay protection money to gangsters; otherwise, they wouldn’t have the right to do business here and would be driven out.

"Tell me about South City?" Tang Zheng saw Anna’s clothes slipping off and extended one finger to hook the edge of the leopard print, helping her get dressed.

"This is the poorest area in the City of God, full of paupers and drug addicts. If you want to get rich, you should go to North City. That’s where the wealthy live, along with the most prosperous casinos and clubs." Anna pleaded, "Please let me go, I’ve told you everything I know."

"No, from now on, you’re going to be my secretary, help me with some things." Tang Zheng was not a machine; there were always things he wouldn’t think of. Plus, he needed a native guide, and controlling a ***** was the most suitable option.

"Please, I’m begging you!" ** cried out, and while Tang Zheng was distracted, she suddenly pulled a dagger from her bag and stabbed at his lower abdomen.

Tang Zheng caught Anna’s wrist in one hand, she shrieked as the dagger fell from her grasp.

"Do you want to die?" Tang Zheng caught the dagger and pressed it against her throat, "No, killing you is too boring. Maybe I should slash your face instead?"

"No!" Anna felt the cold steel against her cheek and burst into tears.

"How about cutting your *** out?" The dagger slid down to rest upon her throat, then pressed against her chest, "If you can’t be a *****, will you starve to death?"

"Please, no, I beg you!" Anna was close to collapsing.

"Threatening and torturing a ***** rewards Sin Points. Please note, if you detest killing, a **** beating or tormenting her into insanity are also valid to earn Sin Points." The Red Trojan Alert, "Since you’re a good person, I’m giving you this special hint, something other survivors don’t get."

"This game is indeed cruel." Tang Zheng said sarcastically, "The Trojan truly has no humanity."

"It’s a test. If you want to go to the Holy Land, you need a resilient heart. Of course, you can choose not to commit evil deeds." The tone of the Red Trojan was filled with apparent benevolence, "If you only do this minor punishment, you’ll never complete the game in your lifetime."

"I have a seven-year-old daughter at home, waiting for me to bring bread. Please spare me!" Anna couldn’t hear the conversation between the two and continued to cry and beg, "I’ll do anything you ask, just let me go."

"What can you do for me?" Tang Zheng tapped Skull’s face with the dagger, he actually wouldn’t do anything evil, it was just to scare her, to increase his Sin Points.

"I can do a lot." Anna reached to take off Tang Zheng’s clothes, giving him a scare.

"Forget it, you have to stay with me for the next couple of days. Once the job is done, I’ll give you a sum of money to go home." Tang Zheng let go of Anna and smiled, "If you think about running, you can try, but don’t get caught by me, okay?"

"I won’t run." Anna looked at Tang Zheng’s powerful body and didn’t dare to try, she didn’t want to die.

"You go first."

Anna put on her high-heels, walked a few steps, and a man covered in blood with a black briefcase appeared out of the alleys, looking frantic. Behind him was a dozen thugs with choppers.

These fellas didn’t make a sound, just pursued furiously, obviously for secrecy.

The man’s suit was torn to shreds from the slashes, he was too badly injured, he slipped and fell, splashing in a puddle, then a chopper struck his back.

Anna screamed in fright, turned around, and ran, but when she reached Tang Zheng, he grabbed her arm.

The man used the briefcase to block, but the chopper tore it open, bundles of bills fell out.

"Idiots." The leading thug cursed, turning to look at Tang Zheng and Anna with a ferocious expression, "Kill them."

This was stolen loot, absolutely no witnesses allowed, six thugs immediately approached.

"Run, quick!" Seeing Tang Zheng unmoved, Anna was terrified, as she watched the gleaming chopper heading for her head, her legs gave out, and she sat down on the ground.

Tang Zheng extended one hand, grabbed the other’s wrist, a snap sound, he crushed the bones directly, the chopper fell, his arm slid down, he seized it, flipped his wrist, swung the knife, parrying two blades that chopped down, then it landed on the left thug’s face.

Half a skull spun out into the air, the thug’s corpse fell into the water, then a severed head rolled next to Skull, the blood mixing with the rainwater, spreading out, it frightened her so much she screamed and instinctively shrank back, but her arm was held by Tang Zheng, she couldn’t move at all.

Tang Zheng couldn’t be bothered to dodge, his right hand waved, blocking the thugs’ attacks, his counterattacks sharp, with just three slashes, he beheaded the three thugs in front of him, three incomplete heads rolling away.

The man with the briefcase had been hacked into mincemeat, the thugs, seeing Tang Zheng kill six men in a row, were shocked, surged forward together.

Tang Zheng, holding Anna, walked leisurely by.

"You madman, murderer, let me go." Anna struggled, because she was dragged on the ground, the road surface tore her cheap silk stockings, and blood marks appeared on her skin.

There was no suspense as, by killing, Tang Zheng’s Sin Points were increasing.

Looking at the corpses all over the ground, the thugs’ leader was horrified, and was stunned, he pulled out a handgun, aimed at Tang Zheng, but before he could pull the trigger, a chopper was thrown, stabbing into his chest, taking his corpse a few meters away.

"Look, don’t I have money now? Is it enough to hire you?" Tang Zheng picked up that M1911A1 handgun, removed the magazine to check, there was just one bullet, no wonder the leader was reluctant to use it.

"The money, about 50,000 US dollars!" Anna looked at those bills, her eyes suddenly turned green, as if those corpses weren’t scary anymore.

"Then why aren’t you picking it up?"

"I’ll pick it, I’ll pick it, just give me five thousand, no, three thousand is fine." Anna knelt on the ground, her butt poked up, excitedly picking up the money, occasionally kissing it a few times.

"If you please me in the next two days, I can give it all to you."

"What kind of woman do you like? Where do you want to go have fun? I’ll take care of it, just give me some tips," Anna was really reckless for the money, pointing at those corpses, "Can I take the money in those people’s pockets?"

Watching Anna discard her dignity, happily turning over corpses, Tang Zheng felt a deep disgust for the game, he was eager to go to the Holy Land, find the puppet master behind it all, destroy the Trojans, people have dignity, not cheap playthings of those Trojans.

This time Tang Zheng didn’t need to guard, Anna voluntarily followed, holding the bag of money.

"Let’s stay at the Dali Hua Hotel, only six people in total, we took control instantly, and it can be a base." Dantai, due to his profession, was bold but cautious, if he really started wreaking havoc, even Tang Zheng would be somewhat inferior, he planned the kidnapping perfectly, without any flaws.

"Do you often do things like this?" Xu Liangmao was curious.

"State secret." Dantai still had some principles, "Occupying the hotel should also increase Sin Points, right?"

Tang Zheng glanced over, there were exactly five gangsters, he could make use of them. As for Zhang Heng and Hu Shang, he had to deal with them quickly, these guys were definitely not going to stay quiet, still excited, concocting the perfect crime.
