It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 567 Peacock: How dare you snatch things from me?
"Trading the monkey's paw for this cape, are you crazy?"

"You're crazy! If you had told me you had this earlier, I could even get you a red dragon, not to mention the red dragon cloak."

"Mr. Peacock, quickly bring out something more powerful and put a stop to his arrogance!"

The auction venue suddenly became a mess.

Peacock ignored those people who were making a fuss, but raised his head, his eyes seemed to penetrate the space and looked at Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng avoided her gaze, his eyes on her nose and his nose on her heart.

God knows if this woman can kill with her eyes. There is no need to confront her at this time.

“I’ll add another one.”

Peacock retracted his gaze and took out a roll of white paper.

She threw the roll of paper casually, and it unfolded in the air, turning out to be a banner.

There were ten large crooked characters written on the banner.

"You bastard boss, give me back my hard-earned money!"

"The wage demand banner, after use, can represent all the enemy's employees who are owed or have their wages withheld to demand wages from the enemy, and cause corresponding real damage."

"The higher the enemy's position and the more employees he has, the higher the true damage bonus coefficient will be, up to 200%."

The projector introduced the purpose of this banner.

"Good guy."

Liu Zhengzhi exclaimed, "What a great guy."

The maximum damage bonus is 200%, and it’s real damage. This thing is simply a capitalist killer.

Speaking of which, Peacock exchanged this thing. Isn’t she afraid that someone will use it against her in the future?

No matter how you look at it, this woman doesn't seem like a conscientious boss who would ensure employee benefits.

"My goodness, Lord Peacock really brought out something extraordinary. Fortunately, the salaries of our auction house employees are paid on time, otherwise I would be too scared to preside over it."

Captain Penguin made a joke.

Some of the collectors present also felt the same way.

"But wasn't this item taken to the garbage disposal plant by that 'crazy lawyer'? How did it end up in your hands?"

Captain Penguin asked.

The "Mad Lawyer" is a legend in the metropolitan city. At first, he was just a small lawyer helping people with divorce cases and debt disputes. Later, for some unknown reason, he went crazy and started helping to represent people in wage collection lawsuits.

Perhaps it was because of his excellent professional skills, or perhaps it was just luck, but he won a lot of lawsuits in the beginning, which led to more and more people who were owed or had their wages deducted coming to him.

The "crazy lawyer" became more and more adept at fighting, and even developed his own style and level. Even the big lawyers could not defeat him in court.

In that case, the defendants would have no choice but to defeat him outside the court.

Fortunately, they underestimated the strength of the "Mad Lawyer" and successfully escaped the first assassination attempt on the "Mad Lawyer".

For some reason, the employees who were owed wages and should have been like a pile of loose sand showed amazing unity and discipline.

They arranged their own shifts to protect the "crazy lawyer" around the clock and at all locations, acting as a human shield for him.

If one person dies, one person will replace him; if a hundred people die, a hundred people will replace them.

With such protection, the "crazy lawyer" finally managed to survive until the trial and won a major lawsuit, successfully recovering more than 80 million in wages and more than 30 million in work injury compensation in one go, almost breaking the capital chain of a large company.

This time, the defendants could no longer bear it.

So on a dark and windy night, a group of thugs with complex identities but unified actions quietly came to the residence of the "crazy lawyer" and launched a raid on him.

The other side was equipped with a large number of standard equipment of the Deep Sea Empire, as well as many high-quality extraordinary items. Those ordinary employees who were owed wages were unable to resist at all and were quickly slaughtered.

In order to prevent the news from leaking out, even the other owners of the residential building were killed.

Colorful blood flowed from the rooftop all the way out of the unit door. The screams were endless but could not be heard outside the soundproofing barrier.

However, when the dark clouds dispersed and the blood moon reappeared, it was the "mad lawyer" and only the "mad lawyer" who walked out of the unit door.

He walked out of the barrier around him, and then called out loudly so that the residents of other buildings would wake up and see him and the banner in his hand.

Then he disappeared into the night.

That night, many company bosses died in their mansions, luxury cars and luxurious clubs.

Later, we heard the news that the "crazy lawyer" had to escape into the garbage disposal plant after being chased by the Public Security Bureau.

After that, there was no news.

Later on, no lawyer dared to take on such a large number of wage claim lawsuits. At most, they would selectively take on one or two cases to deal with the city hall.

Because the city hall also introduced relevant policies after that, the behavior of withholding and deducting wages has been much stricter.

"I went to the garbage disposal plant."

Peacock said lightly.

As for the fate of the "crazy lawyer", there is naturally no need to say more.

"This unlucky woman."

After listening to the projector's story about the "crazy lawyer," Liu Zheng felt even more resentful towards Peacock.

As soon as the "wage demanding banner" came out, the balance of victory tilted a lot towards Peacock.

After all, the "Monkey's Paw that Can't Make Wishes" is just the superposition of two urban legends, and it has lost its original function.

The "Wage Demand Banner" is not only a powerful weapon, but also a witness to a major event that led to the city hall's introduction of new policies. Naturally, its collection value is overwhelming.

The addition of this item to the auction also shows one thing: Peacock is serious about this.

"Come if you want, no one is afraid of you. You can lose the bidding, but you can't lose your momentum."

Liu Zheng gritted his teeth and took out the "Nine-Turn Hehuan Pill".

"Nine-turn Hehuan Pill!"

The moment the projection appeared on the auction table, a collector called out its name.

The next second, everyone's eyes were focused on this object.

The other collections only satisfy their hobbies, but the "Nine-Turn Hehuan Pill" can really help them solve big problems.

"Why didn't you take out the Nine Revolutions Hehuan Pill earlier?!"

"No, why are there so many psychopaths at this auction? They don't put the Nine-Transformation Hehuan Pill up for auction, but use it to bid for a cape that may or may not be made of butt skin. If you are sick, why don't you go to a mental hospital as soon as possible?"

"Damn it! If I knew who was wasting this much, I would suck out his brains."

Everyone present cursed and swore.

Liu Zheng, who became the target of public criticism, could only smile bitterly. If he had no other choice, who would be willing to bid for so many treasures when they didn't know if they would be able to use any of them, and might even have to hand them in afterwards?

Peacock also stared at the "Nine-Turn Love Pill", and his originally indifferent eyes gradually became sharp.

Even for her, it was not an easy task to get a "Nine-Turn Hehuan Pill".

Taoism in metropolitan areas has been declining, and many of the ingredients in the recipe of the "Nine-Turn Hehuan Pill" are only available abroad.

Even if you have collected all the medicinal materials, you may not be able to find a Taoist priest who can make elixirs, and even if you have found a Taoist priest who can make elixirs, you may not be able to collect all the medicinal materials.

The last time the "Nine-Turn Joyful Pill" appeared in the metropolis was more than thirty years ago. At that time, countless immortals fought for it and suffered bloodshed.

"So it's you, the human delivery man."

Peacock revealed Liu Zheng's identity after a little thought.

It’s not that she is too smart, but the only people who are willing to spend such a huge price to compete with her for a useless red dragon cloak are Si Xue and the employees of the Bloody Restaurant.

If it was Si Xue, she would not have used two high-quality items to try to steal the chicken in the first place, so it could only be the staff of the Bloody Restaurant. And which employee is most likely to go against her?

The answer is self-evident.

"It's your grandfather and me."

Although his whereabouts were discovered, Liu Zheng did not panic, but just sneered.

Everyone has already torn their faces apart, and they are not afraid of another lawsuit.

What's more, the fact that Peacock took out the whips of cattle and horses for auction has touched his bottom line. Even if Peacock didn't provoke him, he would provoke Peacock sooner or later.

"Very good. It's been a long time since anyone dared to annoy me like this."

Peacock also sneered, then took out another item.

To be precise, there are five flags in total: blue, red, white, black and yellow.

"It's the Xiantian Five-Directions Flag!"

As the projections of the five flags appeared on the auction table, they once again caused an uproar.

"Fuck! No way, Pigeon Gate?"

This time, Liu Zheng called out directly without the need for the projector to introduce him.

The flags in the east are the blue lotus, in the south the flaming flag, in the west the plain cloud flag, in the north the Xuanyuan water-controlling flag, and in the center the apricot-yellow flag.

The Xiantian Five-Directions Flag is well-known even in reality, and is a rare treasure that appears in almost all prehistoric novels.

"No, they never gathered together in Investiture of the Gods. How can they have a family portrait at just one auction?"

He didn't even know how to complain.

He fought like this for a red dragon cape. He was fighting for his life, but what was Peacock fighting for? Was it just to get some vengeance?

"As expected of His Excellency Peacock, your first move was so generous that it almost gave me a heart attack."

Captain Penguin recovered and said.

"Everyone, this is not the real Xiantian Five-Directions Flag. It is just a counterfeit."

It said loudly.

After hearing its words, the noisy meeting place quickly quieted down.

Right, this makes sense.

It's just an ordinary auction held once a month, not a big auction held once every ten years. The sudden appearance of the Innate Five-Directions Flag is too scary.

However, even if it is a fake, it is already outrageous.

Everyone present could see that both Peacock and the unknown collector were really angry.

Penguin, the host and owner of the auction house, saw this even more clearly.

"Go and ask Minister Simba to come over."

It gave orders to Kavas using the Penguin Squad's codeword.

Even the legendary agents of City Hall can’t stop an enraged peacock, but they can bring in someone who can.

"Yes."

Kawas took the order and left.

The peacock naturally noticed their little movements, but didn't take it to heart.

He was just a human delivery man, not enough to make her mad.

"This is the Five-sided Flag of the Future, made by the legendary workshop 'Doubanzao' in the metropolis. Currently, the workshop has disappeared for unknown reasons, and the staff who were not in the workshop at the time of the incident have gone their separate ways and changed their identities. 'Doubanzao' has become a swan song."

"As we all know, the 'Doubizhao' workshop will deliberately leave obvious flaws when making counterfeits. The flaw of this set of acquired five-sided flags is that they can only be effective if all five are gathered together. Without one, they are just decorations."

“But once the five parties gather together, all evil will retreat and all magic will not invade.”

"This may be a little confusing, so let me give you an example."

"Fifty-three years ago, the Five-Directions Flag of the Later Heaven appeared once. The owner of that time entered the garbage disposal plant with the Five-Directions Flag of the Later Heaven, and not only did he return safely, but he also returned with a full load."

Captain Penguin fulfilled his duties as host.

"Oh~"

Everyone exclaimed in unison.

Apart from the mysterious Chaos Club, the garbage disposal plant is probably the most dangerous of all the landmarks.

But at the same time, it is also the most coveted place for many adventurers and treasure hunters.

Just the fact that one can go to a garbage disposal plant and come back alive is enough to make a person a news figure, not to mention returning with a full load.

"By the way, Mr. Peacock, that person wouldn't..."

"I didn't kill him this time."

Peacock replied.

"Whoo~"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"He rented my office building but couldn't pay the rent, so he gave me the Five-sided Flag of the Later Day as collateral."

Peacock said again.

"Oh~"

Everyone nodded.

That's right. Compared to killing people and robbing, this is what the top real estate developers in the metropolis should do.

"I'm adding this and these two."

Liu Zheng gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, then took out a ruby-like eye and two red and blue pills.

"Is this the third eye of the Three-Eyed Tribe? Weren't the Three-Eyed Tribe exterminated by us and the City Hall? Those eyes have also been requisitioned. Where did this eye of yours come from?"

Captain Penguin said in shock.

"It was scratched off from the forehead of a man named Garcia. He is the last three-eyed man in Metropolis and also the bishop of the Circle God Sect."

He simply spilled the beans.

Anyway, this thing was originally his trophy, and as long as it wasn't discovered by the city hall, he could have passed the buck.

"There was actually a fish that slipped through the net back then."

Captain Penguin looked a little unhappy.

This is a blemish in his legendary agent resume.

"The third eye of the three-eyed people can enhance their spiritual and perceptual attributes, and gain the ability of 'clairvoyance'. There is also a chance to inherit the bloodline of the three-eyed people or even awaken their bloodline."

"Of course, I don't recommend that you use it directly. The bloodline of the Three-Eyed Clan has too many hidden dangers. Even if it is not discovered by the City Hall, it will attract other unclean things."

Although it was unhappy, it still explained the function of this item.

"I would rather recommend using it as a material to create extraordinary items related to the 'Eye'. Believe me, as long as you find a good craftsman, the finished product will definitely not disappoint you."

"Of course, it can also be used directly as a spellcasting material to release abilities related to the 'Eye', thereby gaining a huge boost."

"Considering that this is the last three-eyed person, his third eye may have a hidden use. However, this will have to be discovered by the person who bids for it, or handed over to our auction house for further identification."
