Chapter 416: Chapter 356 Liu Zheng: I’m Cooked Again, Spicy Thanks

"News related to your life."

Wang Dongdong said.

"There’s too much related to my life, which one are you talking about?"

Liu Zheng asked calmly.

Ever since he had come to Metropolis, those wanting his life, human or not, had grown exponentially.

"Do you have that many enemies?"

Wang Dongdong was somewhat surprised.

"Heh, I might have offended more people than your town has inhabitants."

Just blowing up one 11th floor has killed how many company executives.

Their families, confidants, creditors, lovers, and various other stakeholders easily number in the thousands.

If Liu Zheng hadn’t had the backing of Bloody Restaurant and a justified reputation, just the crowdfunded bounties alone would have been enough to buy his life several times over.

"...Captain really does live longer and knows more."

Wang Dongdong couldn’t help but remark.

Having offended so many people and still hopping around alive, he definitely wasn’t someone Wang could handle.

Even if he somehow got lucky and killed Liu Zheng, he definitely wouldn’t escape the ensuing vengeance.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing. It’s just work-related."

Wang Dongdong said.

"Work-related?"

That means security, security relates to property management, property management relates to the developer, then it must be related to Mr. Li.

"Name your price."

Liu Zheng said directly.

Mr. Li was still somewhat threatening, after all, his status was comparable to Peacock, and his power base was also derived from him.

"One million."

Wang Dongdong boldly demanded.

"It’s still daytime and you’re already dreaming?"

Liu Zheng sneered.

"This price isn’t high, your life is worth much more than this."

Wang Dongdong threatened.

A three-bedroom apartment in Metropolis can’t be bought for one million.

Of course, in the Old City District it might be affordable, but the corporation still needs some face.

"My life is certainly worth more than this, but can you get it? Not even Peacock or your boss’s boss’s boss could kill me, who do you think you are."

He said unceremoniously.

"Don’t try to scare me with that. Although I don’t know how you manage to get by so well, the poverty you reeked of when I first met you can’t be faked."

"Since you can do it, I, Wang Dongdong, am not a loser either. I’d risk my life to take down an emperor. I nearly killed you last time, don’t think that was all I’m capable of."

Wang Dongdong said coldly.

Being willing to leave the stable life of his hometown to strive in the city shows he’s also ruthless.

"If you killed me, you wouldn’t enjoy those rewards. Many want me dead, many want me alive, there are still a few who’d seek revenge for me."

"And don’t forget, unless you can kill me thoroughly, as a dead man I can still speak. The secrets I know are too many, and just one could cost you your life."

"Then the rewards you get will only buy you a plot in the cemetery, maybe even as a neighbor to me. Not to brag, but the cemetery’s Tomb Guardian and I are well-acquainted, so after you die, you might suffer more than living."

Liu Zheng said.

"...Then what’s your price?"

Wang Dongdong chose to back down.

"One hundred thousand."

He uttered a figure.

"One hundred thousand is too little!"

Wang Dongdong was not satisfied.

"A free one hundred thousand, not too shabby. Besides, isn’t there a risk for you just mentioning the news? I can arrange a perfectly safe place for the transaction."

"Fine. When do we trade?"

Wang Dongdong asked.

"Wait till I get back to the city, I’ll contact you in advance."

Liu Zheng said.

"Fine, then release my cousin first."

Wang Dongdong still remembered his cheap relative.

"I never planned to kill him."

He shrugged.

Not just to give face to Ga Ga Shuang Bathhouse, he was not inherently a killer.

The reason he had acted so ferociously and ruthlessly along the way was not to kill, but to survive.

"Hmm, hand over the phone to my cousin."

Wang Dongdong said.

"Here."

Liu Zheng handed the phone to Wang Xiaoba.

"Second brother."

"I’m not your brother, you’re my grandfather!"

Wang Xiaoba had just called out when he heard a roar from the phone, immediately shrinking his neck.

Following that, a string of crude language continuously entered everyone’s ears.

"The cursing is really filthy, the sewer is cleaner than this."

Liu Zheng remarked in amazement.

"Indeed, I never thought language could physically discomfort me."

Doctor Nile echoed.

"Manager Four, where’s the legendary pleasant feeling I was supposed to feel?"

He asked Four.

"Oh, because there’s still one step left."

Four said, taking out a pack of cigarettes and distributing one to Liu Zheng and Wang Xiaoba.

"Alright, alright, no harm no foul, let’s be friends for my sake."

He said with a worldly expression.

Wang Xiaoba held the cigarette, his face shifting between emotions.

"Smoke."

Liu Zheng demanded in one word, then took out Slaughter Knife and gestured towards his head.

If this knife went down wrong, it could be more than just slicing off a hair.

"I’ll smoke, I’ll smoke."

Frightened, Wang Xiaoba hurriedly lit the cigarette and began to smoke.

"I’m curious, what if neither party wants to be friends?"

Liu Zheng asked Four.

"The bathhouse only manages what’s inside, I can’t control what happens outside. But if you don’t give me face even inside the bathhouse, remember I was a security captain before I became a lounge manager."

Four puffed up his chest muscles, smiling silently.

"Impressive, impressive. Light my cigarette."

Liu Zheng commanded.

Reluctantly, Wang Xiaoba lit his cigarette.

Liu Zheng inhaled clumsily, a taste neither like smoke nor not like smoke invaded his mouth.
