Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

he asked.

"Yes. The chairman of that company was originally a shareholder of our company, but later left to start his own company due to ideological conflicts. Over the years, he has taken advantage of his knowledge of our company to poach many management personnel and employees, and has intercepted a lot of business and customers, causing considerable losses to our company."

Wang Manni said.

"That's definitely a deep grudge. How much compensation does your company plan to offer me?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"If successful, the previous conflict will be wiped clean, and you will be paid an additional 200,000 as a reward."

Wang Manni said.

"Only 200,000? Who do you think you are?"

Such a large company, business deals must start at least in the millions, right?

"These are just the most basic conditions. The higher your performance, the higher your reward. If you can kill the chairman of that company, the company will pay you a one-time reward of five million."

Wang Manni said.

"That's more like it. But I don't kill just anyone."

Liu Zheng said.

While those who rise to management positions are certainly not benevolent men and women, the metropolis is not exactly a virtuous place to begin with.

Including himself, by real-world standards, he could be said to have deserved to die.

Therefore, if it were just for money, he had no intention of working for Wang Manni's company.

“Understood. The company said that the other company’s office building also has 11 floors. And unlike the Xihe Center, that company’s office building is shorter, and it only houses one company.”

Wang Manni said.

"I see. Well, it's not that we can't blow it up. But how am I supposed to get in?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Someone will sneak into the 11th floor to order takeout."

"Well, that's fine."

He nodded.

If that's the case, then we can accept this order.

Firstly, Wang Manni still needs to make a living at this company, so it's always good to improve their relationship; otherwise, Liu Zheng will have to arrange a way out for her later.

Secondly, since he was already delivering food, he might as well take orders from the company rather than random ones.

He could also ask the company to extend the delivery time, and he could also do some of his own things at the same time.

"Two things. If your company can agree to these, I'll take the order."

Liu Zheng said.

"You say."

"First, the delivery time should be longer, and the food should be of higher quality, at least two hours."

"Okay, I will report it to the company."

Wang Manni agreed.

A two-hour delivery timeframe is indeed a bit long, but the undercover agent was already prepared to sacrifice himself, so it's not entirely impossible for him to agree.

"Secondly, the explosives should be provided by your company, and the more powerful the better."

Liu Zheng continued.

"This will leave a trace, and the company is afraid it will not meet your requirements."

Wang Manni said with some difficulty.

Competition among Metropolitan Corporation is indeed fierce; poisoning, assassination, shootouts, and brawls are commonplace.

However, these tasks are generally controlled by employees, and they usually don't do it themselves but hire outsiders.

Gang members in the old city often take on this kind of work.

If it weren't for the fact that she was so angry about that traitor, and not knowing how to properly deal with Liu Zheng, Wang Manni's company wouldn't have expanded its attack to the management of the other side.

"I don't care. I'm not a professional killer. How am I supposed to kill someone if you don't provide me with the tools?"

He said this in a completely unreasonable way.

"Okay, then I'll try to persuade the company."

Wang Manni said.

"Hmm. After this job, your position should be able to rise a bit, right?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"The deputy director said that if I can make this happen, being promoted to senior manager shouldn't be a problem."

Wang Manni said softly.

"That's good. The higher your position, the more useful you will be to me. Keep up the good work."

He said with satisfaction.

"Yes, yes, I will definitely try my best to be useful to the deliveryman."

Wang Manni nodded vigorously.

"Is there anything else? If not, I'm hanging up."

"Um, delivery driver."

Wang Manni called out softly.

"what?"

"No, it's okay."

Wang Manni murmured.

"Oh."

Liu Zheng hung up the phone.

He probably knew what Wang Manni wanted to say, but he didn't want to hear it.

He's a man destined to become the king of food delivery; he doesn't have time for these mundane, gossipy topics.

"Sometimes you're more succubus than a succubus, and other times you're more blockhead than a block of wood."

Niu Ma couldn't help but complain.

"That's why I've already said I'm not a succubus. All this talk about succubi and no succubi is just a misunderstanding you all have about me."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"Pooh!"

The cattle and horses spat at him from afar, their saliva shooting out in a jet of water.

"I'll block it!"

He reacted swiftly, his tentacles spinning into a gust of wind to block the attack.

"Ah~"

Looking at the sticky saliva on the tentacles, Liu Zheng showed a disgusted expression.

"Hahaha, serves you right. If you're so capable, go ahead and chop off your tentacles."

The ox and horse laughed loudly.

"Forget it, I'll just go to the Yakudo Satou (Japanese public bathhouse) later and take a bath while I'm at it."

He hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Given the nature of cattle and horses, if he really chopped off the tentacles, they would definitely continue to spit at him.

"whispering sound."

The ox and horse plot failed, and they closed their eyes and pretended to sleep again.

"Oh, right, I forgot to give the insect to the Spider Maiden."

Liu Zheng slapped his forehead and called the Spider Weaver again.

Soon, the socially awkward spider emerged from the shadows.

"Squeak!"

Upon seeing the swarm of insects on the cart, it squealed excitedly and pounced down from the ceiling before Liu Zheng could even close his eyes.

"You can choose eleven yourself, and the remaining nine are mine. If you dare to take more than your share, I'll squeeze every last bit of my spider silk out of you."

he threatened.

"squeak!"

The Spider Maiden cried out in dissatisfaction, but still slowed down her movements.

It spun out spider silk, wrapping up most of the insects, including the large wooden box.

"Speaking of which, I've wanted to ask this for a while now. Aren't spiders supposed to spin silk from their butts? Why do you always spin it with your mouth?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!"

The Spider Weaver spoke at length in a heated tone.

"Hey bro, what does it mean?"

He asked about the cattle and horses.

"I want you to manage."

The ox and horse translator said.

"It said such a long string of words, but it only said these three words?"

Liu Zheng asked doubtfully.

"The rest is all profanity. Do you want to hear it?"

The oxen and horses looked at him with their eyes askew.

"That's really unnecessary."

After wrapping up the insects, the Spider Maiden couldn't wait to leave.

"Hey bro, do you have any pots or pans?"

he asked.

"What? Are you going to make something to eat?"

"No, it's bait for making groundbait."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"That's edible too. What's it made of? These insects?"

The ox and the horse asked.

"Yes, nine kinds of insects and nine kinds of liquor. This is the recipe that the salmon owner told me. It can catch a very rare fish."

He said it without hiding anything.

"It sounds delicious, no, it sounds really good."

The cow and horse stuck out their thick tongues and licked their noses.

"Boss, aren't you a cow or a horse? Why do you like to eat insects?"

“I am a cow or a horse, not a cow or a horse. What’s so special about eating insects? I eat people too.”

The ox and horse rolled their eyes.

"But I need to add a third ingredient."
