Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Liu Zheng let it go and answered the phone to ask.

"Boss, a bunch of people have stormed into the villa."

Niu Daji lowered his voice and said.

"Did they find you?"

he asked.

"They must have noticed. I saw someone glance in my direction."

Niu Daji said.

It wasn't weak, but it had always worked as a doorman and had never learned any stealth techniques, so it was normal for it to be discovered.

"Then let's just wait and see. If they don't care about you, you shouldn't care about them either. We'll investigate and report back as soon as we have any news."

Liu Zheng said.

"Okay. Ah, boss, they're out!"

Niu Daji suddenly shouted.

"So fast? What about the mother and daughter?"

he asked.

"We didn't see the person, but they brought out two suitcases, so the person might be inside."

Niu Daji said.

"Ah."

Given the style of Metropolis, Niu Daji's guess should be true.

"Go and negotiate with them."

Liu Zheng thought for a moment and then said.

"Should we save them, boss? It's not that I'm afraid of dying, it's just that we can't win."

Niu Daji is not easy to say.

It can't die because of its ancestral armor, but it's powerless to save people.

"No need to save them, just give them that family photo. The most important thing for a family is to be together."

Liu Zheng said.

The family portrait was something that the stag beetle always carried with him; if they were buried together, it could barely be considered a cenotaph.

"What if they refuse to accept it?"

"You won't accept it? Then let's shut down their entire company."

he sneered.

"okay!"

Niu Daji happily agreed.

Following a boss who is tough on the outside but soft on the inside is reassuring and inspiring.

"You didn't send that minotaur to rescue them?"

The oxen and horses looked at him strangely.

"Why save?"

Liu Zheng countered with a question.

"Don't you like these hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress scenarios? Especially since it's a mother and daughter, isn't that even more exciting?"

"Dude, this is clearly your own XP, isn't it?"

He squinted and said.

"Don't get hung up on these details. Just tell me, isn't that right?"

"Hey boss, you've known me for so long, haven't you realized how much I resent the rich?"

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"Rich people have too many choices, so I won't give them a chance to regret it."

He said.

The poor live a life of constant anxiety and fear, only having a chance to reach the other side. Why should the rich be able to make mistakes they regret?

That's just how it is, there's nothing we can do about it, but since we're in his hands, we have to abide by his rules.

"Aren't you a rich person yourself now?"

The ox and horse rolled their eyes.

"I don't use my money for myself, and I won't leave it to my wife and children in the end. I came into this world penniless, and I'll leave penniless. So I'm not a rich person, just a money mover."

Liu Zheng said in a very serious tone.

"You're talking nonsense. Judging from your appearance, you're not a good person either."

Niu Ma glanced at him and said.

"I never said I was a good person."

If one had to draw a nine-square grid representing factions, Liu Zheng believed he would be constantly jumping between neutral good and chaotic neutral.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether he does or not, as long as he follows his heart.

While Liu Zheng and Niu Ma were chatting casually, Niu Daji had already launched his attack.

The group of men in suits and sunglasses were somewhat confused as they watched the minotaurs swaggering over.

No, you either keep hiding or launch a sneak attack. What's the point of showing up so openly? Aren't you afraid of outnumbering us?

"Which of you is the leader?"

Niu Daji slammed the pitchfork into the ground and shouted loudly.

The men in suits and sunglasses exchanged glances and made way for a man in a suit wearing a floral tie and a diamond brooch.

"I am in charge. Who are you?"

The man with the floral tie asked.

"My name is Niu Daji, and I'm Liu Zheng's underling, a deliveryman at the Bloody Restaurant."

Niu Daji said proudly.

Upon hearing Liu Zheng's name, the man in the floral tie and the men in suits behind him all changed their expressions.

"Your boss went too far. Not only did he kill so many people, but he also chased them to their homes to wipe them out."

The floral tie expressed its dissatisfaction.

"You've got it wrong. Aren't you the ones who are trying to wipe them out?"

Niu Daji pointed to the suitcases in their hands and asked in confusion.

"What do you mean?"

The woman with the floral tie tensed up.

"It's nothing. My boss originally sent me to protect them, but these two women saw that I was too weak and refused. So we can't be blamed."

"However, my eldest brother is kind-hearted after all, and he asked me to give them the family photo so that they can be reunited on their journey to the afterlife."

Niu Daji took out the photo and waved it around.

"No need, we have our own way to reunite them as a family."

The floral tie was rejected without hesitation.

"What business is it of ours with your methods? Hurry up, your grandpa Niu has plenty of things to do."

Niu Daji said.

Dr. Nile now considers himself half a father-in-law to Liu Zheng, and he orders Niu Daji around with a clear conscience.

Of course, it wasn't short of money, so it was always very generous with tips, and Niu Daji worked willingly.

Moreover, Niu Daji also saw through the Nile River Doctors' thoughts.

In its view, Liu Zheng would definitely not favor one person exclusively; there would surely be a large harem in the future.

Both fathers-in-law are fathers-in-law, so it's always good to have a good relationship with them.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of going elsewhere, it would have licked the fishermen and the others as well.

"You go."

The man with the floral tie nodded his chin toward a man in a suit.

"Yes."

The man in the suit walked up to Niu Daji and extended his hand.

"Are you city people so rude? Can't you even say 'please'? Even the sheep in our countryside are more polite than you."

Niu Daji didn't intend to give it to him.

"Excuse me. Please give me the photo."

The man in the suit said, swallowing his anger.

"That's pretty much it."

Niu Daji handed him the photo.

"Can you please move aside now?"

The man with the floral tie took the photo from the man in the suit, glanced at it, and casually put it in his pocket.

"No, I need to see those two women get the photo first."

Niu Daji shook his head.

Since Liu Zheng said he wanted the family to reunite, then they should reunite as a family.

What if this floral tie doesn't give them the photo? Wouldn't that mean it's ruined its job?

Niu Daji had never seen Liu Zheng lose his temper with his own people, and it didn't want to see it, especially not wanting to be the unlucky one.

"I think you're not trying to deliver the photos, you're trying to save someone, aren't you?"

The man with the floral tie sneered.

"I've been squatting here for ages. Do you think I'd wait for you to come to save people? Even now, my boss can be here in ten minutes with just one phone call. By then, you won't be able to leave."

Niu Daji said proudly.

"I don't think you can stop us for ten minutes."

Faced with its arrogant words, the man in the floral tie did not completely deny them, after all, Liu Zheng was notorious.

"If we can't stop them, we can't stop them. I'm not here to save anyone anyway. If I fail the mission, I'll get a scolding, and at worst, I'll be punished by eating shit in the sewers. You guys made my boss lose face, hmph."

Niu Daji chuckled coldly twice.

"How?"

“My boss said that if you don’t let them reunite as a family, then he will let you reunite as a family.”

Niu Daji imitated Liu Zheng's tone.

"Who are 'you' that he's talking about?"

The man with the floral tie asked.

"Hongsen Culture, who else could it be?"

Niu Daji countered with a question.

Upon hearing this, the men in floral ties and suits immediately wore strange expressions, as if they were in pain from trying to suppress their laughter.

"What are you laughing at?"

Niu Daji was somewhat confused and annoyed.
