Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

The fourth brother said.

"Why only half the shares? Shouldn't their assets be split equally in a divorce?"

“It’s a 50/50 split, but the boss’s businesses aren’t limited to just this one. And even if the bathhouse is split 50/50, the boss doesn’t own 100% of it.”

The fourth brother replied.

"Then who owns the remaining shares?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Among the early employees of the startup, it's less than 5% in total, which is considered a way to motivate employees."

The fourth brother said.

"Did your boss and Zhen Xinzhai get married before or after the bathhouse was established?"

he asked again.

"It was before."

"Then your boss might not just be trying to motivate employees."

Liu Zheng seemed to be thinking about something.

"Mr. Liu said that the boss had long anticipated that he and Zhen Xinzhai would get a divorce?"

The fourth brother understood what he meant.

"After all, divorces are rarely caused by short-term impulses; they are mostly due to long-standing rifts. Moreover, even if Mr. Yuan did not anticipate this, as a smart person, it is only right to leave himself a way out."

He said.

"Mr. Liu is right. I guess I'm only suited to be a lobby manager. My vision is too narrow to be a boss."

The fourth brother said self-deprecatingly.

"It's not that bad. Manager Four just needs a chance to prove himself. If you go out and start your own business the other day, you must let me know. It would be best if you opened one in the city. I'll definitely go and support you."

Liu Zheng said.

If the car is located outside the city, then he can't come, since there isn't enough time for delivery.

He estimates that he won't get another day off like this for another year or two.

"Bah bah bah!"

Liu Zheng realized what was happening and secretly made up for it with a few more bites.

Who the hell wants to stay in the metropolis for another year or two? Do they want to die fast and miserably enough?

After buying the tickets, Zhen Xinzhai led the boy in the red dress and his group upstairs.

"Wait a moment."

Someone else called out to them, and this time it was Liu Zheng who stopped them.

"Little sister, what are you doing? Don't be in such a hurry. Wait until I'm done, then I'll come back and we can spar a bit."

Zhen Xinzhai said with a lewd expression.

"It's none of your business."

Liu Zheng said coldly, then looked at the boy in the red dress.

"Hey you over there, the one without clothes, what were you looking at just now?"

Chapter 368 Liu Zheng: Hmph!

"are you talking about me?"

The boy in the red dress pointed to himself and said with great interest.

"That's right. Taking off your clothes before even entering the bath and staring at others, I think you're a filthy pervert."

Liu Zhengzheng said with a righteous air.

"Then you've misunderstood me, young lady. Although I am a rough and uncouth man, I still like to be clean and always smell nice. You can smell me if you don't believe me."

The boy in the red dress said with a grin.

"Who the hell wants to smell you? You look like a pervert, you must smell like a pervert. You perverted filthy scoundrel, disgusting, ugh!"

He made a disgusted face.

"Say more, say a little more, and I'll be coming out soon."

The boy in the red dress, however, appeared to be enjoying himself.

"How can such a pervert be allowed in the bathhouse?"

Liu Zheng was truly disgusted this time.

"Guests' personal preferences are their own business, and our bathhouse does not interfere. But this gentleman is now harassing you, which is not allowed."

The fourth brother said knowingly.

"I see. First you stared at me, and now you're harassing me. You mongrel, you've already found your way to death."

He crossed his arms and looked at the boy in the red dress with the same disdainful gaze one would give someone trash.

"Isn't it just that you want to block our way, young lady? Then I'll give you a chance. But if you win, the reward will be a night of passion between you and me."

The boy in the red dress said dismissively.

"Okay. If he loses, can I just kill him?"

Liu Zheng asked the fourth brother.

"Theoretically, it's possible if he directly harasses you."

The fourth brother said.

Theoretically, it's possible, but practically, it's not.

After all, bathhouses are businesses, and it's not good if customers keep getting injured or killed, so the injuries are usually kept to a minimum.

Of course, those like the boy in the red dress who are clearly looking for trouble are an exception; they'll be killed and buried without consequence.

"Very well. Tell me, you pervert, what do you want to compete in?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Ladies first. My lady, whatever you want to compete in, I'll compete with you. Of course, if you want to compete on who has the bigger breasts, then I can't compete."

The boy in the red dress maintained his composure at first, but later revealed his true nature as a thug.

His men behind him burst into laughter, their eyes lingering on Liu Zheng's chest.

"Then let's see who can write the longest condolence message."

Liu Zheng really wanted to echo his words, but unfortunately he couldn't.

Although he knew he was a man, and even the boy in the red dress might know he was a man, since he was dressed as a woman, he still had to maintain a certain image on the surface.

"Let's have a drinking contest then."

Liu Zheng said.

"Very well, I love drinking the most. To be able to drink with a beauty like my lady is even more of a pleasure. Bring up your best wine, my lord."

The young man in the red dress spoke with great bravado.

"No need, I brought my own."

He retrieved the contaminated fifteen-year-old Ascension Moss from the system space.

"What kind of wine is this?"

The boy in the red dress asked curiously.

Smuggled liquor naturally won't have labels; if Bloody Restaurant says it's Ascension Stew, then it's Ascension Stew.

Bloody Restaurant does a good job of serving authentic food; its only flaw is that it's expensive.

"Fifteen years to ascend to heaven, moss."

Liu Zheng replied.

"To carry such fine wine with you, and in such large quantities. Did the young lady come prepared, or is it truly a fine wine?"

The boy in the red dress raised his eyebrows.

"It's none of your business. Just tell me if you're going to drink or not."

He rolled his eyes and snapped.

"Drink! Fine wine and beautiful women, wouldn't it be a waste not to drink?"

The boy in the red dress was about to step forward as he spoke.

"and many more."

Liu Zheng spoke up to stop him.

"What? Young lady, you're scared?"

The boy in the red dress stopped and looked at him with a playful gaze.

"Don't come over to take it, I'll throw it to you. I feel uncomfortable being too close to a pervert."

Liu Zheng said without any mercy.

"Alright, alright, the harsher you scold me now, the more fun I'll have later. I hope you can keep scolding me and don't lose your voice."

A flash of anger crossed the young man's face, followed by a loud laugh.

"I've never heard such a strange request before. So when I'm playing with you later, I hope you'll keep laughing until I stop laughing."

He said coldly, then threw down the three bottles of Ascension Moss.

The boy in the red dress twisted his hips, and the sash around his waist extended outwards, firmly binding the three bottles of Ascension Moss before him.

"What kind of wine is this?"

The young man in the red dress changed his expression upon smelling the aroma of the wine that even the bottle couldn't conceal.

"Fifteen-year-old Ascension to Heaven, Mao Moss, the Smuggled Version of the Round God Sect."

Liu Zheng replied.

He didn't say it was a special edition from the Bloody Restaurant because he was worried that the other party might be one of Grandma Tang's people.

"The Round God Cult? What is that?"

The boy in the red dress looked bewildered, clearly having never heard of this sect.

"Why are you asking so many questions? We're having a drinking contest, not checking your background. You're going to drink or not. If you don't, you lose and get out of here."

Liu Zheng said impatiently.

"A mere provocation, but when this young lady uses it, I'm sure I'll fall for it."

The boy in the red dress stared at the wine bottle for a moment, then gave a wicked smile.

"Young Master, please calm down!"

Seeing that he was really going to drink, a square-faced subordinate suddenly rushed over and grabbed his hand.

"Tu Bi, what are you doing?"

The boy in the red dress said angrily.

"Our lord suffered greatly because of his love of wine and women. You must not follow in his footsteps."

Tu Bi ignored his anger and continued speaking.

"If that's your opinion, then I'm even more determined to drink this glass of wine."

The boy in the red dress said.

"Ah? Why is this?"

Tu Bi asked, puzzled.

"You think the old man likes me the most? It's because I'm the most like him, isn't it? If he knew I dared not drink when I bet with a beauty, he would definitely tear me to pieces and soak me in wine."
