Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Liu Zheng looked at Jennifer.

"Yes, one of my friends was tortured to death by him."

"Jenif said sadly."

"I want the complete information on that white bastard and his parents."

He nodded, then spoke to the Queen.

"Okay, how should I give it to you?"

The Queen nodded.

"Next time I deliver food, I'll call you in advance so you can arrange for someone to bring it here."

Liu Zheng pointed out the location of Rose Street on the map.

"It's inconvenient for us to leave the old town."

The Queen frowned.

"Then tell me a place."

"here."

The Queen pointed to a point where the old town and the main town met.

"Okay, here it is."

Renting a sports car wouldn't waste too much time.

Give me back my cigarette.

The Queen extended her hand.

Not everyone is generous enough to pay in advance, especially since the Queen herself has a prejudice against men.

"There's no way I'll pay back the cigarettes. There's no way I'll ever pay them back in this lifetime."

He said it without hesitation.

"You're trying to double-cross me?"

The Queen's eyes sharpened.

The woman in leopard print and the woman in pajamas instantly prepared for battle.

The leopard-print woman transformed back into a cheetah, while the woman in the pajamas became a plump, white worm.

The murderous aura emanating from the rooftop almost solidified, pressing against Liu Zheng's crown.

Even if they knew their chances of winning were slim, they couldn't let others humiliate them like this.

Without this do-or-die spirit, they could not have built this pink kingdom.

"Of course not. But I really need this, so could you pay me first?"

Liu Zheng knew he was in the wrong, so he was very amiable.

"No, I don't believe you."

The Queen flatly refused.

"Don't be so quick to refuse. I can use something else as a deposit."

He said with a grin.

"Your Majesty, even for a stranger like me, Mr. Liu Zheng is willing to search for my whereabouts and make arrangements for my future life. He is truly a trustworthy and good person."

Jennifer chimed in from the side.

"Shut up, I understand men better than you do. Sometimes they are controlled by their lower bodies or their meager conscience, and do things that move you, making you think you have met a good man."

"But when faced with something that truly threatens their interests, their hearts harden even more than when they see us dancing."

The Queen rebuked.

"What you said makes sense, but can you please speak more politely? Even prostitutes need to cultivate a certain image to increase their price."

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

"Hmph, most of the people here are illiterate, and you call that civilized? Can civilization compare to a big butt and a big belly?"

The Queen said dismissively.

"If you're going to talk about this, then I'll have to tell you a whole story about the book 'The Fifty Years of Wanli'."

He immediately got excited.

A high-ranking official who couldn't be bribed even with hundreds of millions of yuan was won over by a high-class prostitute who pretended to enjoy watching "The Fifty Years of Wanli," demonstrating the high premium that comes with catering to someone's tastes.

“I don’t have time to listen. Either give us back our cigarettes, or you kill us.”

The Queen said coldly.

"Look at you, you're in such a hurry. Think about it, let me think about it."

Liu Zheng lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

"I've got it. A lot of your sisters must be sick, right?"

he asked tentatively.

"Ha, living in a dark house, drinking unclean water, and eating food that's about to expire and spoiled, who wouldn't get sick after a while?"

The Queen sneered.

"No, no, no, I meant the disease."

He shook his head.

"Yes, so what?"

Aside from perverts like the White Scoundrel, what decent people come to the Red Light District? Many of the customers have illnesses far more serious than those of the "Sexual Disease."

"I know a doctor who is very skilled. I can recommend you to his clinic for a check-up, and then get treatment if you have any illnesses. What do you think?"

Liu Zheng suggested.

Do you think we have the money for medical treatment?

The Queen scoffed.

Many ordinary residents in the main urban area cannot afford medical care, let alone these skilled women in the old city.

"What's the maximum amount of medical expenses you can afford for one person?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"."

This question stumped the Queen, leaving her momentarily stunned.

Seeing this, the white worm transformed back into the woman in her pajamas and began whispering in the queen's ear.

"Five hundred dollars."

Soon, the Queen announced a number.

"Okay, for any medical expenses exceeding five hundred but not exceeding one thousand, I will cover the excess."

Liu Zheng immediately said.

"What about the portion exceeding one thousand?"

"The Queen asked."

"Then there's nothing I can do. I don't have a mom who owns a company. This little bit of money is all earned through my hard work delivering food."

He spread his hands and said.

The debt of gratitude was almost an enmity. He wasn't the kind of saint who would help someone to the point of bankruptcy. He was only willing to go to this extent because of Jennifer's sake.

The Queen looked at the woman in pajamas, who nodded.

Where is that clinic you mentioned?

"The Queen asked."

"here."

Liu Zheng pointed out the location of the "Imhotem" clinic on the map.

"It's too far; we can't stay away from the Pink Kingdom for too long."

The Queen shook her head.

The four of them are essentially the pillars of the Pink Kingdom. If someone were to launch a sneak attack while they are away, the Pink Kingdom could very well collapse.

Although Tomoko's presence can deter enemies, without the Queen's control, it's hard to say whether Tomoko would prioritize attacking enemies or her own people in a real fight.

"Then let your people go to the clinic themselves."

Liu Zheng said.

"Men are all idiots."

The woman in pajamas said disdainfully.

"Okay, pretend I didn't say that."

He scratched his head and said.

Putting aside the question of whether the Queen and the others trust him, a bunch of prostitutes walking down the street are no different from lambs to the slaughter.

But Liu Zheng felt it was going too far to have the Nile doctor come to the Pink Kingdom for treatment.

"There is."

After much contemplation, he came up with a new idea.

"You should have a sewer entrance here, right?"

"Of course."

Even the oldest urban area is still an urban area; basic urban infrastructure is still in place.

“I have a very good relationship with the fisherman, who is the spokesperson for the sewers. I can have him escort you to the nearest sewer well to the clinic, and then have my people pick you up and take you to the clinic. What do you think?”

Liu Zheng said.

"Couldn't you just have that doctor come directly here?"

The Queen asked, frowning.

"No."

"First, that doctor, like you, cannot leave home for extended periods of time."

"Secondly, his medical methods require many special medicinal herbs, and with so many of you, one person simply cannot carry them all."

He explained.

"It's really troublesome."

The Queen fidgeted anxiously with her fishnet stockings, unsure of what to do.

"Your Majesty, Li Shishi and Michelle are dying."

The woman in the pajamas whispered in her ear again.

The Queen nodded silently, then spoke to Liu Zheng.

"I'm entrusting my sisters to you, what guarantees can you give me?"

"Money? But I can't give much. And I have even less of any extraordinary items."

he said helplessly.

It's not something that everyone on the street needs to see a doctor in a day or two, but the auction is starting tomorrow.

The Queen gave the woman in the pajamas a look, and the latter immediately pulled a neatly folded pack of toilet paper from her inner pocket.

"What if we add this?"

The Queen handed the paper package to Liu Zheng.

He opened the paper package, inside was a cigarette with only the butt left.
