It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 604 Departure! Bathhouse Street
"Mr. Yuan, I'm almost ready on my end."

"The call connected," Liu Zheng said.

"Okay, I'm all ready. Where should we meet?"

Yuan Bao'er asked impatiently.

She had never suffered such a loss in her entire life.

If she didn't vent her anger, she would be ashamed of herself as the head of the family.

"It's just outside the bathhouse street, right? By the way, Mr. Yuan, do you have any experienced drivers?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"An experienced driver? Mr. Liu is asking whether it's someone who walks on two legs or someone who drives four wheels?"

Yuan Bao'er countered with a question.

"...driving four wheels."

He was speechless; this woman was far too outspoken.

"Let the fourth brother drive the four-wheeled vehicle; he's a steady driver."

Yuan Bao'er said.

"What about those who need to lift both legs?"

Liu Zheng was somewhat curious.

"That's the fourth one too. He lifts his two legs more times than he drives a four-wheeled vehicle."

"I've also found another group of people. Send them over first to intimidate them, and then withdraw them."

He briefly explained the situation regarding the Dark Elves.

"Then why don't I just bring the main force with you? If those slave traders are obedient, we can let them work as assistants; if they're disobedient, we can wipe them out first."

Yuan Bao'er's tone revealed a hint of ruthlessness.

"Don't underestimate them. After all, they believe in some god of war. And what if you bring the main force to the Ten Thousand Mountains and your rear is raided?"

"Don't forget, Mount Ooe is just a knife, and the one wielding the knife is Granny Tang."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Yuan Bao'er said reluctantly.

"Okay, I'll hang up first."

He hung up the phone and then called Yaksha.

"I'm almost done here, are you guys ready?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Bloody Hand Kane's bride is always ready to offer my lord the grandest wedding."

"Yaksha said proudly."

"Always prepared, but never actually holding an event, huh?"

He squinted and said.

Are you insulting our faith?

Yaksha's tone turned cold.

"No, what I mean is, as your most loyal friend, I will soon help you win the favor of the gods."

"Sweet words have no effect on dark elves, humans. If you want our approval, give us blood and souls, whether from others or your own."

"Yaksha said coldly."

"I think yours is better. It's natural, healthy, and I feel safe eating Bloodhand Kane's products."

Liu Zheng retorted sharply.

"Hmph, then let's see what you can do. Time and place?"

"Yaksha asked."

"An hour later, outside the bathhouse street."

He thought for a moment and said.

"understood."

Yaksha hung up the phone.

"Married women are quite nice; they're experienced and caring. As for this dark elf, forget it. Apart from our lord's priestess, all the other gods' priestesses are madmen; they're unacceptable."

"Dr. Nile said abruptly."

"Doctor, eavesdropping is not a good habit."

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes at him.

"You're all talking so loudly, it's impossible for me not to hear you. Did you hear what I just said?"

The Nile doctor slammed his scepter.

"You speak so loudly, it's hard for me not to hear you. Don't worry, I have no interest in married women or goddess wives."

Liu Zheng returned his words.

"So what type of content are you interested in?"

"The Nile doctor asked."

"I'm interested in wishing machines. Give me a female genie as my wife, and I'll make wishes every day until she has kidney deficiency."

"Keep dreaming. If such a thing really existed, I would offer her to my Lord as his queen."

The Nile doctor rolled his eyes.

After Niu Daji brought out tea and snacks, the two sat down to drink tea and chat.

While they were discussing whether there were pyramids in the cemetery, how to rob them if so, and which treasures were most valuable, Liu Zheng's phone rang.

"Come out and stop your dog!"

As soon as the call connected, Ace shouted loudly.

"A dog? Where did the clinic get a dog?"

Liu Zheng was stunned for a moment.

"Is he talking about the Sphinx?"

"That's what the Nile doctor said casually."

"Ow!"

A lion's roar came from the phone at just the right moment.

"That's true. Just hang in there, I'll be right out."

He rushed out of the clinic with his phone in hand, just in time to see the Sphinx trying to overturn a black armored vehicle.

"Ando, ​​stop right now!"

Liu Zheng quickly shouted.

"By what right do you command me, human?"

The sphinx glanced back at him, but showed no sign of stopping.

“This is not an order, this is a request. This is my guest, and if he offends you in any way, I will give you an explanation.”

Liu Zheng said seriously and sincerely.

"Humph!"

The sphinx withdrew its claws and crouched to one side.

"Thank you, Ando."

He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

"You've gotten addicted to calling my name, haven't you, human?"

The sphinx glared at him.

"hey-hey."

Liu Zheng walked to the explosion-proof vehicle and knocked on the driver's side window.

The car window was rolled down a crack, revealing a head of brown hair and a pair of bright, intelligent eyes.

"It's alright, get off the bus."

He said.

Are you sure it won't eat me?

Ace asked cautiously.

"Don't worry, Ando is a noble and trustworthy lady."

Liu Zheng gave the Sphinx a bright smile, to which the Sphinx rolled its eyes.

"Ok."

The car door opened, and a short man wearing a light-colored linen shirt jumped out of the car and immediately hid behind Liu Zheng.

"What exactly did you do to provoke it?"

Liu Zheng turned around and asked, while also getting a clear look at Ace's appearance.

This hobbit has delicate features, fair skin, and freckles on either side of his nose; he looks like a child who hasn't grown up yet.

"I shouted, 'Wow, what a huge human-headed dog!' and it charged at me."

Ace said with an innocent look on his face.

“If you shout it out, I’ll shove your head up your ass!”

The sphinx roared.

"Calm down, calm down. Here, have some dried fish first."

Liu Zheng quickly went to its side to comfort it.

"Don't think a few dried fish will extinguish my anger. Chew, chew, chew."

The sphinx stared at the ace and said.

"He is a full-time employee of the Public Security Department."

Liu Zheng said in a low voice.

"So what if it's the Public Security Bureau? At worst, I can just hide in the desert. What can they possibly do to get me there?"

The Sphinx scoffed.

"His father is a Buddhist monk."

He had no choice but to say it.

“His father is a Buddhist monk, and his father is the Supreme Speaker. There’s no way he’d let me swallow this insult.”

The Sphinx spoke loudly.

"I want a nest."

A faint sound reached his ears.

"Yeah, I know, you're the most principled, but yeah?"

This turn of events came so suddenly that Liu Zheng was caught off guard.

"I want a nest, like a ball of yarn."

The Sphinx repeated it.

"What's the point of having a place if you're sleeping on the street?"

He said subconsciously.

"You mean I'm not worthy?" The Sphinx's tone turned dangerous.

“Perfect match, absolutely perfect match. You deserve the best cat house in the entire metropolis.”

Liu Zheng quickly said.

"It's a lion's den."

The Sphinx corrected.

"Yes, yes, it's a lion's den."

He echoed.

"Hmph. Tell this little brat to watch his mouth in the future, or even the Supreme Speaker won't be able to save him."

The sphinx took a bite out of Liu Zheng's scalp in anger, then returned to its seat and lay down.

"You speak, and I suffer, sigh!"

Liu Zheng, clutching the bloody hole in his head, walked over to Ace's side.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Ace shrugged.

His apology had some sincerity, but more than that, it was nonchalant.

As an ace, even if he says something wrong, no one will hold it against him.

Or rather, no one would confront him directly.

Moreover, even if Liu Zheng didn't come to his rescue, the Sphinx wouldn't be able to kill him.

Ace doesn't have many other possessions, but he has countless extraordinary items that can save his life, all of which were gifts from his relatives and his father's friends.

"Forget it. You're obligated to help me after I've done you so much. Consider it a blessing if you have a few holes in your head."

Liu Zheng sighed.

"Haha, you're really funny. No wonder Nightingale was so insistent on asking me to help you."

Ace laughed heartily.

What exactly does "relentlessly demand" mean?

"I can't tell you, it's a secret between the two of us."

Ace shook his head.

"whispering sound."

If he didn't want to talk about it, he would turn around and ask the nightingale.

"Here, this is the instruction manual."

The ace handed him several sheets of A4 paper.

"Why is it handwritten?"

Liu's expression was strange.

How come such a large city hall doesn't even have a printer?

"I definitely can't just photocopy it for you, and many of the functions are gone. These handwritten notes are enough."

Ace said matter-of-factly.

"Fine. Here's the money I owe you."

Liu Zheng took out stacks of money and placed them on the ground until they were piled higher than the ace.

"Oh."

Without even counting the ace, he simply took out his wallet and stuffed it all away.

"Aren't you really going to come play a few rounds with me?"

he probed.

"I really don't have time, but I'll definitely make arrangements when I have time."

Liu Zheng smiled wryly.

"I don't understand why you, a food delivery guy, are so busy?"

After finishing his rant, Ace took a folding bicycle from the driver's seat.

"Let's go."

He unfolded the folding bike and prepared to ride away.

"Wait a minute. Niu Daji!"

Liu Zheng shouted into the clinic.

"I'm coming."

Niu Daji rushed out in a panic.

"Boss, did you call me?"

"When you take my friend to the 'Red Witch' board game arcade, make sure he's safe. If he gets even a small scrape, you're the one who should be reporting to the sewers, understand?"

he said seriously.

"Yes, boss! Mission accomplished!"

Niu Daji responded loudly, his chest muscles bulging out.

"Uh, actually I can go by myself. I think the city is relatively safe."

Ace wasn't very willing.

The masculine aura emanating from Niu Daji was too strong, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Are you sure?"

Although it was a bit rude, Liu Zheng couldn't help but ask back.

Putting aside everything else, with their bloody restaurant's delivery drivers around, the city's public security is bound to be poor.

"Okay, at least that's how it's presented in the report."

Ace tilted his head and said.

"Alright, stop arguing. Let Daji take you. You may not need it, but it's a matter of courtesy, for both of us."

Liu Zheng said earnestly.

"Okay, fine, I'll give it to you then."

Ace pursed his lips, looking even more like a child.

"Don't ride a bicycle anymore, Daji. You drive him there and come back quickly."

He then spoke to Niu Daji.

"Okay, boss."

Niu Daji looked at the explosion-proof vehicle and said excitedly.

Theoretically speaking, this should be considered their first delivery vehicle.

Liu Zheng told him to hurry back, and it strictly obeyed the order, returning in an explosion-proof vehicle twenty minutes later.

"Get in the car, doctor."

Liu Zheng greeted him.

"Okay. Ando, ​​I'm leaving the clinic in your care."

The Nile doctor said to the Sphinx.

"understood."

The sphinx lazily waved its paws.

"set off!"

Liu Zheng sat in the passenger seat and said with high spirits.

He came to the metropolis and started from scratch. In just ten days, he already had a car, henchmen, and savings. It would be a mistake for the city hall not to name him one of the top ten outstanding young people.

"Yes, boss!"

Niu Daji also pressed the accelerator hard.

The armored vehicle emitted a deep, restrained roar as it sped forward, giving the Nile Doctor, who wasn't seated properly, a good taste of the acceleration.

"Young people are just impulsive and reckless."

The Nile doctor shook his head.

Despite his complaints, a smile appeared on his bandaged face.

This was someone he had watched grow up rapidly, who was both his benefactor's brother and the protector of Sesha's future that he had chosen. He was also proud of him.
-

As one of the top ten bathhouses on Bath Street, "Ga Ga Shuang" Bathhouse is usually bustling with customers even during the day.

But today, there wasn't a single customer in the bathhouse; the once bustling lobby was eerily quiet.

"Fourth brother, is everyone here?"

Yuan Bao'er wore a black suit, her short hair was tied into a small braid at the back of her head, and she wore a pair of silver stilettos, exuding an extremely sharp aura.

"Reporting to the boss, everyone at the bathhouse has been called."

The fourth brother said.

He was dressed very smartly today, in a tactical uniform and wearing a helmet.

Her belly was really big, which completely ruined her presence.

"Uncle Shui?"

Yuan Bao'er then looked at an old man wearing a blue cloth jacket.

“Returning home, Lord, all the family members here have been gathered.”

The old man replied respectfully.

"Very good. Everyone remembers what happened a few days ago, right?"

Yuan Bao'er asked.

"Remember!"

The crowd responded loudly.

"I'll start by reflecting on my own actions. It wasn't just one or two people who told me that Zhen Xin was unreliable; Manager Si also reminded me several times, but I was blinded by greed, and things have come to this. I accept the punishment."

As she spoke, Yuan Bao'er raised her hand and drew a bloody "X" on her right cheek.

"But what about you? Others have come knocking on our door, and you still need an outsider to mediate? Are you all just sitting around doing nothing?"

She said sternly.

"The young ones are all spineless cowards, and the older ones aren't much better. What? You think the Yuan family will have a new head after I die? The bathhouse is going to change owners too? Even my fourth son, whom I personally promoted, can't be bossed around anymore?"

The wound on Yuan Bao'er's face kept bleeding, but she seemed oblivious.

The bathhouse staff were so frightened they didn't dare breathe, and the Yuan family members also looked rather grim.

"Now, Mr. Liu wants to save face for me, and we have to support him. I'm telling you this: if we don't fight later, fine, but if we do, I'll make sure none of those dark elves escape."

"If anyone dares to embarrass me again, I don't care if they're a newcomer or a veteran, from the bathhouse or the Yuan family, they'll all be subject to the family rules, understand?"

Yuan Bao'er asked loudly.

"Understood!"

Everyone responded loudly.

"Okay, let's go!"

Yuan Bao'er took the lead and walked out of the gate. The bathhouse staff, led by Lao Si, and the Yuan family members, led by Uncle Shui, formed two long black and blue dragons and gathered behind her.
