The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?
Chapter 764 - 528: If defeated, harbor resentment; if victorious, retaliate and overturn

Chapter 764: Chapter 528: If defeated, harbor resentment; if victorious, retaliate and overturn

The Koenigsegg One-1 charged into Rose Street with an aggressive posture, then stopped abruptly as if pulling an emergency brake.

Liu Zheng quickly grabbed onto the back of the seat, barely avoiding being thrown out by the strong inertia.

He calmly opened the car door, landing firmly, unmoving like a mountain.

"Yue!!!"

And then, he vomited all over the ground.

It’s a bit embarrassing to say, despite Liu Zheng’s frequent travels, he actually suffers from severe car sickness.

After entering Metropolis, for reasons beyond being human, this issue hadn’t really come up.

But no matter how extraordinary his physique, it couldn’t withstand the driver’s thunderous driving skills, feeling as if racing across a desert right on the highway.

The driver showed a faintly mocking smile, disappearing from the seat.

"Uh, Mr. Liu, are you alright?"

The deputy director asked out of courtesy.

"I’m fine, it’s a custom from my hometown to vomit after a ride for good luck."

Liu Zheng said, waving a tentacle.

"Uh, that’s quite ceremonial then."

"Absolutely. You can try it, it’s very effective."

He patted the other person’s shoulder, while cleaning off the dirt from his tentacle.

"Alright."

The deputy director glanced at his five-figure priced suit, his lips twitching.

"Where are your company people?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"It’s nearby, can fully participate in our conversation, don’t worry."

The deputy director said.

"Alright, let’s start then."

He nodded and said.

"Okay."

"Have the number of pests been confirmed?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Roughly confirmed, based on prior agreement, our company will pay you seven million as compensation."

The deputy director said.

"Alright."

He nodded.

The main part is knocking off the Antlered Insect which is five million; he couldn’t care less about the rest.

"When will you pay?"

"Right now. Do you prefer cash or transfer? Or our company can also offer a third higher value option."

The deputy director said.

"Oh? What’s the option?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"We can offer you shares worth seven million, guaranteeing the shares’ value won’t fall below seven million within three years; otherwise, our company will compensate you accordingly."

"Personally, I suggest you choose this plan because Red Forest Culture is about to enter a chaotic period, and our company is confident in capturing at least seventy percent of its market share, causing your share value to soar."

The deputy director said.

Red Forest Culture is the company created by the Antlered Insect after separating from Green Shade Culture.

"So good? What’s the condition then?"

He asked.

"The condition is that you must not engage in any actions damaging our company."

The deputy director said.

Actually, the condition is even more favorable than it seems, even the deputy director is quite tempted.

Red Forest Culture is a non-listed company, and its management has been hesitant about going public, only recently planning to list.

The reason for commissioning Liu Zheng to blow up Red Forest Culture was partly to save face and partly to seize the opportunity to go public.

Don’t be fooled by the current shares’ value of seven million, once the listing happens the stock price might surge ten- or twenty-fold directly.

"When will your stock price surge?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"About two years or so."

The deputy director said vaguely.

He couldn’t directly tell Liu Zheng that the company will go public, or it might cause unnecessary trouble.

"Then forget it."

Liu Zheng rejected without a thought.

Metropolis is no tourist paradise, rather a cesspool of cesspools.

He’s not a Scarab; who’d want to stay in such a lousy place for two years?

To put it another way, even if he did decide to stay in Metropolis for two years, by then the eight million shares wouldn’t mean much.

"Do you have any concerns, Mr. Liu?"

The deputy director asked.

"Not really concerns, it’s mainly that I’m short on cash recently, two years is too long, can’t wait."

Liu Zheng said half-truthfully.

"Please hold on a moment."

The deputy director stopped moving, as if frozen.

"If that’s the case, our company can lend you a two-year interest-free loan of seven million. If you fail to repay at maturity, use those seven million shares to settle the debt. How about that?"

Soon, he spoke again.

"Is your company being too nice to me? Am I actually the Supreme Councilman’s secret child and your company discovered this secret?"

Liu Zheng questioned suspiciously.

"Our company is optimistic about your future and wants to increase investment. Additionally, your performance is enough to shut those opposing management up."

The deputy director said tactfully.

Apart from connections behind Liu Zheng, Red Forest Culture was actually frightened by his action-taking capability.

He just received the commission and immediately over-fulfilled it, who wouldn’t be scared?

Moreover, the other party is an employee of the Bloody Restaurant, so many conventional methods can’t be used.

Handling such a hot potato, it’s better to bind him to their own interests.

"Still, forget it."

After thinking, Liu Zheng refused.

He instinctively dislikes loans; even when buying cars, he prefers to buy overhaul vehicles with spirit rings, just to pay fully at a low price.

"Alright, since you insist."

The deputy director didn’t persuade further, just opened the suitcase at his feet, revealing stacks of bundled cash.

"Do you need to verify it?"

He asked politely.
