Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"Yes, I do have some, but are you sure you want to use them? If you do, you and Peacock might become mortal enemies."

"That's what the fisherman said."

"We're mortal enemies now, I can't possibly die twice."

"Okay, then call me before you come down."

The fisherman made the call without hesitation.

Who should we call the second time?

A series of beautiful women with different styles flashed before Liu Zheng's eyes, and then he pressed a number.

Chapter 235 You'd rather die than marry me?

"Are you home yet?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I'm home now, senior."

The novelist said happily.

Although her safety was not a concern, Liu Zheng's concern for her still touched her deeply.

"Okay. Well, if you're free tomorrow, come out and I'll make a copy of all the books in my head for you."

He said.

"Senior, what happened to you?"

The novelist keenly sensed that something was wrong.

"I'm going to deliver takeout to the peacocks tomorrow."

Liu Zheng didn't hide it from her.

"Peacock"

Even a novelist of his stature fell silent upon hearing this name.

She was merely a member of a prominent family in the metropolis, while the Peacocks themselves were from a prestigious family.

"Senior, what can I do for you?"

she asked.

"That plane tree from that day, it's planning to evolve into a phoenix. Can you help me protect it until it successfully hatches?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"No problem, senior."

The novelist immediately agreed.

"Thank you then."

“It is what I should do. I’m sorry, senior, Peacock and my family have a lot of business dealings, and I cannot use my family’s influence to help you.”

The novelist said apologetically.

"It's alright, that's enough. See you tomorrow."

See you tomorrow, senior.

Liu Zheng hung up the phone and made another call.

"Are you calling me so late to ask me out for drinks?"

"The nightingale teased."

"I can't drink anymore, and I'm not sure I can go to the garbage disposal plant either."

He said.

"what happened?"

The nightingale's voice turned serious.

"I'm going to deliver takeout to the peacocks."

"It sounds like the ingredients are being delivered to your door."

"That's what the nightingale commented."

"Pretty much. But I'll get the plane tree to help you. Once it transforms into a phoenix and joins the Extreme Flavor Group, clearing out the Jordan family's territory shouldn't be a problem."

Liu Zheng said.

"What do you want me and the ama to help you with?"

"What can you do to help me?"

He asked rhetorically.

"Can't help."

The nightingale sighed, a rare occurrence for it.

She was a wealthy heiress in the eyes of ordinary people, but in front of someone as important as Peacock, she was no different from a commoner.

Not to mention that she is not the sole heir yet, even her father can't do anything about it.

"Just live well. If you really want to thank me, then don't eat people anymore."

Liu Zheng said.

"Okay, we promise you."

"It is solemn," the nightingale said.

"Oh, by the way, tell the female diver that I might need to use her mother's belongings, so I won't be returning them to her."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

After thinking for a moment, he called the vampire girl again.

"Are you calling me so late to invite me to go for a moonbath?"

"I can't believe it," the vampire girl asked happily.

"Forget it, I'm afraid I'll mutate from sun exposure."

Liu Zheng couldn't help but complain when he recalled the blood-red moonlight.

"So you've finally decided to propose to me?"

"Don't get your hopes up. I'm going to deliver food tomorrow and might not be back. You can buy the Vlad III limited edition at Dukang Winery at No. 18 Yunmeng Road. Have Nightingale and the Sea Maiden go with you and tell them it was me."

"There might be danger there. You must be vigilant. If anything seems amiss, say that it was sent by Napoleon, the head chef of the Bloody Restaurant, to make the purchase."

he warned.

"You're about to die, and you still won't marry me?"

"I can't breathe," the vampire girl said resentfully.

"Silly girl, there are so many males out there, each one richer and more powerful than me. Why do you insist on following a monster like me, a half-human, half-black goat cub who is about to die?"

"Hmph, mind your own business. You have to come to the board game arcade before you go deliver food, or I'll commit suicide for you!"

"The vampire girl shouted."

"Uh, okay."

he said helplessly.

Liu Zheng certainly didn't believe that the vampire girl would commit suicide for love, but it wouldn't hurt to take a detour and meet her.

After hanging up, he called the Nile doctor.

"I'm going to deliver food tomorrow, and I might not be back. Here's the sewer fisherman's phone number. Contact him yourself when you're ready, and I'll bring you the tools you need tomorrow."

He recited a string of numbers.

“I understand. Alas, it’s a pity you didn’t kill that traitor, so I can’t bless you with ‘Ra’s Grace’.”

"The Nile doctor said regretfully."

"The Grace of Ra" is not only the reward given to Liu Zheng by the Nile Doctor, but also "Ra's" reward for killing the traitor. Even if he wanted to give it to Liu Zheng in advance, he could not.

"Can 'Ra's grace' allow me to be resurrected elsewhere?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"No, it's a resurrection on the spot."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"Then it doesn't matter."

Reviving on the spot simply means being killed by the peacock twice, which is meaningless.

However, even if he were resurrected in another location, he suspected that the peacock could still cross space to hunt him down.

"However, there should still be other ways to help you. I'm getting old and my memory isn't what it used to be. Let me think about it for one night, and I'll tell you when you come tomorrow."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"Okay. By the way, I'll leave Cheng Xiaomei in your care."

"Don't worry, she's very efficient at her work, and Sesha likes her a lot."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"That's good."

Liu Zheng hung up the phone and then called Guokou Tangzi.

"I'm going to my death tomorrow. As for the Jordan family matter, you contact this guy named Nightingale."

He gave her Nightingale's phone number.

"Okay. The flower basket from the Bloody Restaurant's head chef has been delivered."

"That's what Guo Kou Tangzi said."

"Then I wish the Jiwei Group a successful reopening and continued success."

Liu Zheng said something auspicious.

"Thank you for your kind words. Come to the soup shop tomorrow, and I'll treat you to a bowl of soup to celebrate."

"Okay, add more chopped green onions."

After hanging up, he called Wang Manni again.

The phone rang for a few seconds before being answered.

"Sorry, I was just taking a shower."

The sound of rushing water came from the other end of the phone.

"Why are you calling so late? Is there some new instruction?"

Wang Manni said cautiously.

She felt both excited and apprehensive.

She was excited because she already knew that the entire 11th floor had been wiped out, and at least two-thirds of the senior executives had died at Liu Zheng's hands.

Those empty seats, of course, need to be filled.

She was uneasy because she was worried that Liu Zheng would make some requests that she couldn't refuse.

"No instructions. I probably won't be back tomorrow, but I have something to tell you."

Liu Zheng said.

"what?"

Wang Manni was briefly surprised, but quickly came to terms with it.

Being a delivery driver for a bloody restaurant is a high-risk profession, a fact well-known to most people in the metropolis.

"Please tell me."
