Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

He suspects that the fishermen's willingness to raise fish in the sewers and feed on their excrement must have been due to some kind of agreement with the city hall.

Otherwise, how could the female divers live and work normally outside with her mother's "belongings"?

"Who is that? That ox or horse isn't strong enough."

"Fire Mage".

Liu Zheng stopped keeping him in suspense.

"You actually hooked up with that guy. How did you convince him to help you?"

The nightingale exclaimed in shock.

“I helped him lift the city hall’s arrest warrant, and in exchange, he took us into the waste treatment plant.”

"Release the warrant? Aren't you being a bit too arrogant? You're just a deliveryman at Bloody Restaurant, not a director of the city hall."

Nightingale said, both amused and annoyed.

Even her family wouldn't dare say they could lift the warrant, so how could this human dare to make such a promise?

Does he know that in the Metropolis, failing to keep a promise can lead to trouble?

Even if that fire mage has a good temper, he must be punished for this breach of trust.

These are the rules of the metropolis, and have nothing to do with the wishes of either party.

"Don't rush to criticize me, let me explain my plan first."

Liu Zheng told Nightingale about his discussion with the fisherman.

"So the deceased was a member of the Jordan family. No wonder there have been fewer young people from their family appearing."

The nightingale suddenly realized.

"You don't even know this kind of information, yet you want to be the sole heir."

He took the opportunity to express his contempt.

"I never wanted to be the sole heir; they just pissed me off."

The nightingale gave a cold snort.

She was always a maverick, otherwise she wouldn't have liked Shanghai women.

Her original plan was to open her own board game cafe; she wasn't really interested in family affairs.

It was the backstabbing and cruelty of her siblings that drove her to this path.

Of course, the nightingale wasn't entirely unable to understand their behavior.

Her father did indeed devote more attention to her than all of them combined.

But understanding is one thing, it doesn't stop Nightingale from killing them all, leaving none alive.

"Since you've decided to take the position, then act like the sole heir and find out the current situation of the Jordan family."

"We need to know the location, size, and manpower of their underground clinics and pharmaceutical factories, in particular."

Liu Zheng said.

"So, are you asking me to be a tutor, or to gather intelligence?"

The nightingale rolled its eyes.

“Being a tutor and gathering intelligence are not mutually exclusive, and you are not as restricted in your actions as I am.”

"Who says I'm not restricted in my movements? My brothers and sisters are all secretly watching me."

"The nightingale said."

"Then you should operate through the waterways, call the fisherman and ask him to protect you. If that doesn't work, add the fire mage too. I guarantee that no matter how many they come, they'll all die."

“Let the fisherman protect me? It’s hard to say whether he or my brothers and sisters are more likely to kill me.”

The nightingale pursed its lips.

"He won't let you die until the Ama (female diver) has finished her mission at the garbage disposal plant. If he causes trouble, just tell me, and I'll call and yell at him, okay?"

Liu Zheng was getting impatient.

"You're a human, yet you have quite a big face."

The nightingale made a sarcastic remark, but said nothing more.

"Call this number and contact that person, just say I introduced them. Call me back after you've reached an agreement."

He gave out Wang Manni's phone number.

"understood."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Now there shouldn't be anyone else to contact; we can just wait for Nightingale's call.

If she fails the job interview, she'll call the novelist again.

He really didn't want to ask novelists for help unless absolutely necessary.

So far, the deals between the two have been completely unequal.

Although the novelist said there was no problem, Liu Zheng had a gut feeling that there was something seriously wrong.

He felt like a honey-licking worm, falling step by step into a carefully woven spider web.

"What are you doing here pretending to be a thinker?"

Niu Ma pushed open the door and looked at him with a strange expression.

"I'm thinking about the big things in my life."

Liu Zheng said casually.

"What, you're getting married? To whom?"

The oxen and horses immediately became interested.

Although the betting odds were on who would sleep with Liu Zheng first, marrying him first would at least count as a bet.

"What I mean is, if this isn't resolved, I'll have no life left."

He said it expressionlessly.

"Tch. Here, the wine you wanted."

The cattle and horses put down the bag in disappointment.

Just like last time, three boxes.

They are Pirate Head Rum, Saint Fool Cross Bone Vodka, and Wu Niang Liquor.

"A total of 30,000."

The oxen and horses stretched out their hooves.

"Why is it 10,000 more expensive than last time?"

Liu Zheng frowned.

Although he has a lot of money, this is not the way to spend it.

"Hmph, that bottle of Saint Fool's Cross Bone Vodka alone costs 25,000 yuan on the market. I didn't take a single penny of kickback this time, and I even helped you bargain down the price. You should be grateful."

Niu Ma gave Niu Ma a look that said, "You little brat, you don't know what's good for you."

"Such sudden generosity? There must be something fishy going on."

Liu Zheng looked at it suspiciously.

Oxen and horses may have some good qualities, but they certainly don't have generosity.

"Ahem, bring me back some new magazines when you go out."

The ox and horse turned their heads to the side and said.

"Oh. Where can I buy it?"

he asked.

"Go out and turn left, walk straight to the first newsstand, and tell the owner that I introduced you."

Niu Ma said smoothly.

Which one do you want?

"You can decide what to buy. If you don't like it, give me back my kickback."

The cattle and horses threatened.

"hehe."

Liu Zheng was too lazy to argue with it.

Given the complexity of the XP of these strange residents, it's no wonder that a normal person who's just arrived could buy things well.

If there are cows or horses available, I'll buy them; if not, I'll just buy whatever.

Give them a kickback if you want, it's not like we'll lose anything.

He carefully put away the wine and waited for the call.

After a while, the phone finally rang.

However, it wasn't Nightingale calling, but Wang Manni.

"You're absolutely amazing!"

She said it from the bottom of her heart.

"The deputy director interviewed the Miss Nightingale you introduced over the phone. Miss Nightingale won him over in just ten minutes and agreed to hire her as his son's tutor."

"That's good. However, tell that deputy director that I have a condition."

Liu Zheng said.

"You say."

“There’s a primary school student in apartment 303, unit 2 of his building. He’s also the last in his grade. I think Nightingale can teach both children at the same time.”

He said.

"I'm afraid the deputy director won't agree to this request."

Wang Manni said with difficulty.

"Then let him find someone else. Nightingale is from a noble family, and he only agreed to be his son's tutor because of me."

"Once this opportunity is gone, it's gone forever. I guarantee he won't find such a good tutor anywhere in the whole metropolis."

Liu Zheng said confidently.

Those with higher levels of education than the Nightingale did not have her higher social standing.

Those of higher status than the Nightingale did not possess her level of education.

Someone with a higher level of education and status than Nightingale, where would she find the time to be a tutor for the son of a minor director, especially a deputy one?

"Okay, then I'll talk to the deputy director."

Wang Manni had no choice but to say.

She was secretly alarmed after hanging up the phone.

How powerful must this deliveryman be to persuade a noblewoman to become his tutor?

Could it be that he is actually a member of high society, and working as a food delivery driver is just a way to experience life?

If Liu Zheng knew what Wang Manni was thinking, he would definitely advise her to watch less low-brow TV dramas.

A person from high society comes to work as a delivery driver at a blood-soaked restaurant. Does she look down on high society or on the blood-soaked restaurant?

Besides, is that what you call experiencing life? That's called experiencing hell.

I had just put down my phone when it rang again.

Is Wang Manni really that efficient?

Liu Zheng picked up his phone in surprise, and upon seeing the number, his brows immediately furrowed into a deep frown.
