Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Liu Zheng shrugged and called Niu Ma.

"Hey boss, I have a question for you."

He said.

"Spit it out, I'm busy."

The sound of chess pieces being smashed came from the other end of the phone.

Who do you play chess with?

Liu Zheng asked.

"Napoleon, who else could it be? Hey, you're taking back a move in Go, that's so shameless."

The ox and horse suddenly started cursing.

"."

When Liu Zheng saw a cow and a horse playing chess and wanting to take back their moves, he suddenly understood why the horse was so confident despite its terrible chess skills.

Playing chess with a terrible player will only make you worse, won't it?

What is it here for?

Liu Zheng asked.

"It's a reward for your overseas purchases. Napoleon sent over a third-class banquet."

"The ox and horse said."

"Oh, I thought there wouldn't be a reward. But I can't go back anytime soon."

"What are you doing back?"

The ox and horse asked curiously.

"Let's have dinner."

"Oh, don't worry about it, I'll take care of it for you."

"Then eat slowly, sir, don't choke to death."

He said through gritted teeth.

"Then you don't need to worry. Although I have the body of a horse, I have four stomachs just like a cow."

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

"Tch. Let's get down to business. Do you know where Diagon Alley is?"

Liu Zheng asked.

Chapter 364 What? I'm my cousin's daughter

"I know, it's in the old town area. Why are you asking?"

The ox and the horse asked.

"Oh, is that so? I came to GaGaShuang Bathhouse to discuss a collaboration, but their boss has disappeared. I asked someone from the city hall to help me investigate, and the last place he disappeared was in Diagon Alley."

Liu Zheng said.

"Oh."

"Boss, can you just say 'oh'?"

"I don't care what they do. What business is it of mine if their boss goes missing?"

"It's only natural," the ox and horse said.

"Their boss is gone, so the cooperation can't be finalized."

"Without Napoleon, will the kitchen stop cooking? If you don't want to cooperate, then don't cooperate. You dare to bomb an office building by yourself, why don't you dare to bomb a bathhouse by yourself? Besides, don't you have a doctor with you?"

"The ox and horse said."

"Can the inside and outside of the city be the same? Besides, the tanks didn't even come in this time."

He said speechlessly.

"Then what are you going to do, go back to the city to rescue people?"

"I won't make it back to the city in time. By the time I get there, the boss will be long dead."

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes.

"You're not trying to make me go and rescue him, are you?"

The ox and horse saw through his thoughts.

"You'll get a share of the profits afterward, right? What's wrong with putting in some effort? Besides, with your abilities, saving someone is a piece of cake. You just finished dinner, so just think of it as going for a walk."

He said with a grin.

"Do you really think I own this restaurant and can just leave whenever I want? If you can't do it, figure it out yourself."

The cattle and horses remained unmoved.

"What if we order takeout for her?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"That's possible. But let's make it clear first, I can only guarantee that I'll bring the person back alive if I go alone, but whether they'll be alive or not is another matter."

The cattle and horses gave him a preventative shot.

As a self-taught expert who honed his skills purely through innate talent and practical experience, his abilities in destruction far surpass his abilities in protection.

If there aren't many enemies, it might be able to avoid accidentally injuring anyone.

If the enemy is numerous and strong, then the cattle and horses will not be able to care about the safety of the hostages.

After all, it was the old town, and it didn't want to linger there for too long.

After all, back when it was still messing around outside, it offended quite a few people in the old town.

"Then I'll find you a few more helpers."

Liu Zheng said.

"Don't pick any weaklings, or I'll have to protect a few more."

Niu Ma hung up the phone.

Its reminder was somewhat unnecessary; even if it hadn't said anything, Liu Zheng wouldn't have chosen someone too weak.

People who are willing to go to places like the old town just for a phone call are rare connections, and they shouldn't be wasted, whether for emotional or financial reasons.

After thinking for a moment, he made a phone call.

"What do you want? Want some soup again?"

The sound of soup boiling over the pot could be heard.

"I do want to drink the soup, but I'll have to wait until I get back to the city."

Liu Zheng said.

Rather than eating one bite at a time to store up energy, drinking the secret broth from the pot is much faster.

"You've already gone to the bathhouse area?"

Guokou Tangzi clearly knew about his deal with Jinzi.

"I went there, but I ran into some trouble, so I'm asking for your help."

Liu Zheng said.

"I can't handle the people who need to leave the city."

Guo Kou Tangzi's explanation was also very direct.

People from these gangs are second only to city hall employees in their sensitivity to leaving the city.

If a city hall employee leaves the city, they will be suspected of trying to extort money.

If gang members leave the city, they will be suspected of trying to seize territory.

The Jiwei Group had just begun to show signs of revival, and Guokou Tangzi did not want to cause such a misunderstanding.

"No need to leave the city. The owner of GaGaShuang has gone missing in Diagon Alley in the old town. I need you and the cattle and horses to go and rescue her."

Liu Zheng said.

"With that ox and horse taking care of things, do we even need to do it?"

Guo Kou Tangzi asked in confusion.

She was quite self-aware; in terms of cooking skills, she might be able to rival Napoleon, but in terms of fighting, she couldn't possibly be a match for the head of the Bloody Restaurant department.

"It said it was worried that there were too many people on the other side, and that it, with just one cow and horse, might not be able to take care of them all. Regardless of what the cow and horse think, since it has made this request, I have no choice but to ask you for help."

he replied.

"What's the benefit?"

Guo Kou Tangzi speaks frankly.

"What benefit do you want?"

Liu Zheng countered with a question.

"I can't think of anything now, I'll think about it later."

Guo Kou Tangzi thought for a moment and then said.

"can."

He nodded.

The benefits mentioned later are considered favors.

Residents of metropolitan areas may be afraid of owing favors, but Liu Zheng is not.

On the one hand, human relationships are reciprocal; if he owes someone, it's as if they owe him something in return.

On the other hand, if he really can't repay, Liu Zheng can also choose to go bankrupt and run away with the proceeds.

In any case, the Metropolitan Court can't enforce the judgment against him from a distance.

"Write this down, this is Niu Ma's number."

He gave the cattle and horses' numbers to Guokou Tangzi.

Although I haven't actually seen Guokou Tangzi make a move, the Jiwei Group's strength should still be considerable.

After all, they were originally a notorious gang, and they even dared to scheme against the head chef of the Bloody Restaurant.

If someone is too weak, they won't even consider getting involved, let alone scheming.

"By the way, after you rescue them, take them to the sewer on Rose Street. Someone will meet you there. If that plane tree causes you any trouble, just say you're one of my people."

Liu Zheng gave instructions.

Since neither the cattle nor the soup pots could leave the city, the owner of the delicious food stall had to stay in the city for the time being.

Although she certainly had her own safe house, he decided to make his own, just in case.

And the sewer is undoubtedly the safest place.

"understood."

Guo Kou Tangzi hung up the phone.

Her attitude towards Liu Zheng was noticeably colder than that towards the novelist and the three potato sisters.

This actually relieved Liu Zheng.

After all, it's already terrifying enough that one novelist is eyeing his brain; if there are a few more, he's really afraid that one day he'll wake up to find them each grabbing one of his organs and dismembering him.

"Hey, Old Deng, I'm taking someone down from the usual spot later, could you help entertain them?"

Liu Zheng then called the fisherman again.

"You're treating the sewers like a guesthouse, aren't you? Sending people here to stay all the time."
