Chapter 782: Chapter 537: If you’re capable, I wouldn’t have to help solve things for your wife

"Oh? Hmm..."

Liu Zheng thought for a moment, deciding that Niu Daji was probably right.

If they’re from Red Forest Culture, you can run but you can’t hide. Even if they don’t hand the photos over to Antlered Insect’s wife and kids, they’d at least say something to ease the tension, leave some room for maneuver, instead of being so blunt.

To be so brazenly fearless either means they’re strong enough to disregard his threats or they simply don’t fear him coming after them.

"Did you catch anyone who could talk?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Huh? What do you mean, talk?"

Niu Daji asked, confused.

"I mean, did you catch any enemy from whom we can extract information?"

He clarified.

"Oh, oh. No, those four suit guys can really run. I jabbed one suit guy in the backside with a steel fork, almost ended up losing the fork to him."

Niu Daji said shamefully.

In terms of taking a beating, wearing the heirloom armor takes some effort, even for Niu Ma.

But in terms of dishing out punches, he can’t even win against a random member from the condiment group.

"It’s not your fault."

Liu Zheng had no intention of blaming him.

He’s just a guard, after all. Expecting Niu Daji to take on four and still hold one captive is like expecting Niu Ma not to be greedy and lustful.

However, Niu Daji’s strength does need some enhancement, being only a meat shield isn’t enough. Since he’s on solo duty, he needs to pack some punch.

"When we attend the auction, I’ll get you some suitable extraordinary items."

He offered generously.

"Thank you, boss."

Niu Daji was moved to tears.

He’s never seen such a boss. Mess up a task and not only isn’t he blamed, but the boss is finding ways to strengthen him.

"Why thank me, that’s the spirit of our gang, be practical, don’t vent on subordinates just to establish authority. Make sure to pass on this gang spirit when you take on your own subordinates, okay?"

Liu Zheng advised.

"Yes! I’ll definitely be a good boss like you and pass on the gang spirit."

Niu Daji said loudly.

"And like Niu Ma, the old boss."

He reminded.

"Yes! I’ll definitely be a good boss like Niu Ma, the old boss, and you."

Niu Daji quickly corrected.

"But boss, I still don’t know what our gang’s name is."

He scratched his head and said.

"For now, let’s just call it the Takeout Gang."

Liu Zheng said casually.

"Then I’m the Underboss Assistant (Third in command) of the Takeout Gang."

Niu Daji said joyfully.

These past few days he’s been hanging out with Jiwei Group and learned quite a few of their terms.

"Yes, yes. Go back to the clinic, then send the medicine to the ’Pink Kingdom’ with Jiwei Group."

Liu Zheng said dismissively.

"Yes!"

After hanging up, two warm, moist breaths sprayed onto the back of his head.

He turned around to find Niu Ma expanding its nostrils, trying to heat and humidify the air for him.

"Big guy, what are you doing?"

Liu Zheng said speechlessly.

"When did I establish a Takeout Gang with such spirit, I don’t even have much spirit myself."

Niu Ma rolled its eyes.

"Whether it’s established today or anytime, it’s established. As for gang spirit, it always existed, it’s just formalized now. You’re planning to go solo and smuggle, eventually you’ll need some trustworthy people. I think Niu Daji is pretty decent, smart yet reliable overall."

He explained.

"That’s your lackey, not mine. If I tell it to do something, I have to use your name, so am I your boss, or are you mine?"

Niu Ma retorted.

"Same, same. And besides, if I’m not around, aren’t you its direct boss?"

Liu Zheng said as if it was obvious.

"What? Are you planning not to come back after this trip abroad?"

Niu Ma misunderstood his words.

"I will come back. There’s still so much unfinished business. But you know, I’ve offended so many people, could die in the streets at any moment. You’ve got connections but no real brothers left, just Oynk who’s half an Earth Spirit."

Liu Zheng said.

Niu Ma, though well-connected, had no real brothers left, all killed, and only had Oynk left, who’s half an Earth Spirit.

In urgent situations, he could rely on it, but not for everyday help, otherwise Liu Zheng wouldn’t need to help with its wife’s issues.

Niu Daji’s power isn’t too high or low, coming from outside the city, he’s just right to use.

"Instead of worrying about others, you should first think about how to not die in the streets."

Niu Ma said angrily.

"I’ve thought about it, but can’t find a way."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"Tell me, if Peacock, Mr. Li, the sewer, the Tomb Guardian, and those merchants and companies I’ve bombed decide to kill me, what can I do?"

He left out one name, Si Xue.

Some may currently seem like allies, but one unsatisfactory move from him could turn them into foes.

"Maybe, don’t come back this time?"

Niu Ma said after a few seconds of silence.

"Have to come back. They might kill me, but before dying, I’ve got to light up a big firework in this bloody Metropolis. Boss, remember to write a poem for me then, okay?"

Liu Zheng laughed.

"I only write epitaphs."

Niu Ma said, unimpressed.

"An epitaph works too. With a personal epitaph penned by you, lying on a straw mat is more comfortable than a mausoleum."

"Crazy, this is the first time hearing someone flatter a Niu Ma like this. Forget it, not talking to you, you lunatic. I’m off to sleep."
