Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Liu Zheng said.

"You'd better be serious. If you add Zhuge Ling to the betting pool, then the outcome of this bet is a foregone conclusion."

"The ox and horse said."

Chapter 573 Colonel, how many mountains do you have enough ammunition to blow up?

"Are you still thinking about that stupid betting game of yours?"

Liu Zheng felt somewhat helpless.

"The money I gave you should have already exceeded the bet, right?"

"Yes, that's why I recently increased my bets and adjusted the odds."

"I'm so proud of myself," Niu Ma said smugly.

"I can tell you're really bored. Okay, I'm hanging up now."

No sooner had Liu Zheng hung up the phone than Shisanyao called.

"Shi Tiantian has agreed to meet you, but she requires that we meet at the Hundred Ghosts Hall."

Thirteen said.

"That's unnecessary. If it still wants me to massage it, we can go somewhere else."

He frowned.

If he were to go to the Hundred Ghosts Parade, he would have to disguise himself again.

If it gets discovered, it will cause another incident.

Liu Zheng is not afraid of trouble, but he has no interest in deliberately causing trouble.

"You think the medicinal baths used for its hot springs are available at every bathhouse? That's a secret recipe unique to our Hundred Ghosts Gang."

Thirteen said.

"Could you get me some, Minister?"

"Don't even think about it. I don't want to be whipped by that old woman again."

Thirteen Orphans refused without hesitation.

"Can I meet with Shi Tiantian as a guest?"

he asked after thinking for a moment.

"Sure. I'll arrange a private room for you."

Thirteen replied.

"Alright, then I'll trouble the minister to make the arrangements."

Liu Zheng said.

"So when will you come over?"

Thirteen asked.

"Well, I wonder if Minister Thirteen Orphans would be willing to order some takeout for me?"

He rolled his eyes and said.

"I don't want to."

Thirteen Orphans' refusal remained resolute.

"Okay. I'll let you know when I've set a time."

Liu Zheng didn't press the issue and hung up the phone immediately.

"Who should I order takeout from?"

He held the phone, lost in thought.

Using the restaurant's order delivery time is definitely not an option; the distance between the city and the outskirts is too far, and we'd be caught off guard if something unexpected happened.

"Boss, why don't you let me do it?"

Niu Daji volunteered.

"No way. You're my only subordinate. If you don't work, who else am I supposed to use?"

Liu Zheng said coldly.

"Hehe, thanks for the compliment, boss."

The clever Niu Daji automatically interpreted this as Liu Zheng praising its usefulness.

"Well, I don't know what you heard, but as long as you're happy."

He couldn't be bothered to understand these inhuman thought processes.

"Forget it, let's ask Mr. Yuan for help instead."

Liu Zheng called Yuan Bao'er, the owner of the "Ga Ga Shuang" bathhouse.

"President Yuan, how have you been? Have you and Secretary Li recovered from your injuries?"

When the call connected, he asked enthusiastically.

"My injuries have almost healed, and I've also sent Secretary Li to recuperate. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Liu."

Yuan Bao'er replied with a smile.

"But Mr. Liu, you're not being very fair."

She then changed the subject.

"What do you mean by that, Mr. Yuan?"

Liu Zheng was somewhat puzzled.

“I heard from Brother Hui that you not only used your own flesh to pay off the debt, but you also paid it off right afterward. What? You think my money is dirty?”

Yuan Bao'er sounded very unhappy.

However, she did have reasons to be unhappy.

Liu Zheng not only saved her life, but also helped her save the "Gaga Shuang" bathhouse. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe this kindness as a life-saving grace.

The prevailing attitude in the metropolis is either to never repay a favor or to repay it fully.

If word got out that her savior had to use her own flesh and blood to pay for something, who would dare to be Yuan Bao'er's benefactor?

"Hey, I'm just thinking that my flesh and blood can regenerate, so why not sell it?"

Upon hearing Yuan Bao'er's words, Liu Zheng realized that his actions were indeed inappropriate, and scratched his head sheepishly.

“You’ve fallen for Brother Hui’s trick. I’ve already sent people to supervise him in destroying all your flesh and blood, and I’ve also warned him that if he does something like this again, we can’t even be siblings anymore.”

Yuan Bao'er said in a sharp tone.

Although she and Hui San are of the same generation, as the head of the Yuan family in this generation, her status and position still surpass Hui San's.

"I see."

Recalling the scene at that time, Liu Zheng suddenly realized.

However, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on Hui San; it was also because he himself was unwilling to owe Yuan Bao'er a favor.

"I was wrong last time, but this time, I've come here specifically to cause you trouble."

He said quickly.

"Fine, I love it when you cause me trouble, the bigger the trouble, the better."

Yuan Bao'er speaks with great confidence and boldness.

"Don't make promises you can't keep. That would be embarrassing."

Liu Zheng said this deliberately.

"Hmph, then I'll massage your shoulders and legs, serve you tea and water, and be your maid for a day."

"Hehe, no one to sleep with?"

He chuckled.

"What? Mr. Liu is actually interested in me? Great, but we can't use condoms, and the child will have to take my surname."

Yuan Bao'er was slightly surprised, and immediately said.

"No, I was just being sarcastic, I was wrong."

Liu Zheng decisively admitted defeat.

"I am indeed somewhat disappointed. Alright, Mr. Liu, what exactly did you want to see me about?"

Yuan Bao'er's voice turned colder.

"I'm going to the Hundred Ghosts' Journey to meet with the Stone Spirit Clan. I need you to arrange for someone to order some takeout."

He said honestly.

"The Stone Spirit Clan? You're going to the Hundred Thousand Mountains?"

As expected of a CEO, Yuan Bao'er reacted quickly.

"That's right. But it's not because of the monsters of Mount Ooe."

Liu Zheng emphasized.

"It makes no difference. You ruined their plans last time, so even if you don't go looking for trouble with them, they'll still come after you."

Yuan Bao'er said.

"Yes, you're right, that's why I came to you for help."

"This doesn't count as helping out. I've been wanting to get my revenge for a long time, but I just haven't had the time. When are you going?"

Yuan Bao'er asked.

"I'll go when I'm ready, but the latest it can be is tomorrow or the day after."

He'll probably be leaving the country by then if it gets any later.

"Okay, I'll bring some people with me then."

Yuan Bao'er said.

"No, my methods of killing enemies are all area-of-effect and do not distinguish between friend and foe. More people would only be a burden."

Liu Zheng shook his head and refused.

"Besides, it hasn't been long since you were assassinated. I don't believe they haven't arranged for someone to keep watch on you. If the main force is mobilized, it will not only alert them, but you will also be at risk of having your home raided."

"Alright, I'll find a guide who's familiar with the Ten Thousand Mountains to go with you, and I'll also prepare some supplies for you."

His reasons were valid, and Yuan Bao'er had no choice but to change her plan.

"That's a good idea. Then you can arrange for someone to order takeout in twenty minutes."

He glanced at the time and said.

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Zheng sent Niu Daji back to the clinic, and then drove back to the restaurant himself.

"I thought you'd be staying with Zhuge Ling for a long time."

Upon entering the lounge, Niu Ma glanced at him and said...

“What good place would I be staying at her place? There’s not even a place to sit.”

Liu Zheng said as he put down the Legendary delivery box.

In reality, with his improved strength and physique, the weight of the legendary delivery box was no longer a burden, but he was in the habit of unloading the delivery box as soon as he entered the door.

Perhaps it's because I haven't been a human being for very long, and I haven't changed the habits I had when I was a human being.

"Who knows?"

The ox and horse pursed their lips.
