Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"It's good that I brought you along."

Liu Zheng scratched the calico cat's ear and said.

Otherwise, even if nothing happened during the standoff between the Writers' Association president and Peacock, they would probably have used up the express delivery slips by now.

There's nothing he can do; the legendary disguise has now become ineffective, and his strength has plummeted to its lowest point.

"No problem, meow, salmon will protect Liu Zheng, meow."

The calico cat proudly raised its little head and said.

However, the blood flowing from its nostrils and the corners of its mouth made its words seem less convincing.

Of course, that's only what it looks like.

As the former spokesperson for the sewers and the current head chef of the Bloody Restaurant's favorite cat, a little bit of aftershock is not enough to render it incapable of fighting.

As long as the calico cat's paws can still move, those little bastards are still no different from mice in its eyes.

"Yes, salmon is the best."

Liu Zheng gently wiped the blood off its face with his sleeve, determined to find a fisherman and get it a bunch of the fattest and most beautiful fish to nourish it properly.

"Ok?"

A chilling hostility, sharp as a blade, came from above, making both him and the calico cat feel a cold shiver down their necks.

The man and the cat looked up and saw a lithe figure disappear behind the water tank.

Liu Zheng could only tell from the figure and hairstyle that it should be a female humanoid creature.

Soon, more hostility came from all directions.

A tidal wave of footsteps sounded, and a group of scantily clad female humanoid creatures emerged from all directions, surrounding them.

A woman wearing only a leather jacket on her upper body and fishnet stockings on her lower body walked out from the crowd and came to Liu Zheng.

"Who are you, and why have you suddenly appeared in the Pink Kingdom?"

The woman looked Liu Zheng up and down and asked.

Although the cat next to her had a stronger aura, she knew that the man in front of her was the real deal.

"The Pink Kingdom?"

Liu Zheng took out the map, glanced at it, and then said with a puzzled look.

"It's not marked on the map?"

"Haha, Queen, this is a fool."

The woman in leopard print next to the woman in the leather jacket laughed loudly, and the other women joined in the laughter.

Seemingly amused by Liu Zheng's foolishness, the woman in the leather jacket showed less hostility in her eyes.

"Pink Kingdom is the name we gave to this street; of course, it's not on the map."

The woman in the leather jacket explained.

"Oh, what's it called on the map?"

Liu Zheng inquired.

"Why should I tell you?"

The woman in the leather jacket retorted.

"I can pay you for asking for directions."

He said with a serious look on his face.

"Haha, did you hear that, ladies? He said he'd pay us for asking for directions."

The woman in leopard print burst into laughter again.

"Your Majesty, just tell him. We've taken all sorts of money, but we've never received a fee for asking for directions before."

Another woman in a silk nightgown laughed as well.

The existence of the "Pink Kingdom" is no secret, but rather these women would love for everyone to know the name.

"Shut up, I'm negotiating with someone, can't you guys be serious?"

The Queen glared at them fiercely.

"Look at the razor blade gang and the trash gang. Although all they think about is saliva and drugs, at least they know to shut up when their boss is speaking!"

She scolded loudly.

The women looked at each other, then fell silent.

“Man, I’m asking you a question now. If you keep playing dumb, don’t blame me for locking you in the basement and interrogating you slowly.”

The Queen looked at Liu Zheng and threatened him.

"Okay, could you please ask again?"

Liu Zheng shrugged and said.

"First question, who are you?"

"As you can see, ma'am, I am a food delivery driver."

He pointed to his uniform and said.

"Are you here to deliver takeout? Who is it for?"

The Queen asked, frowning.

"All deliveries have been completed. The order address is not here."

Liu Zheng replied.

"The second question is, why did you suddenly appear here?"

"I don't know either. After I finished delivering the food, the two big shots got into a fight, and I got caught in the crossfire. That's how I ended up here."

He said innocently.

Who fought with whom?

The Queen pressed for an answer.

"Peacock, the other one should be the president of the Writers' Association."

Liu Zheng replied.

This shouldn't fall into the category of things that can't be said.

"A peacock? Does anyone know who this is?"

The Queen asked questions from both sides.

"I don't know? Judging from the name, it should be a bird, right?"

The woman in leopard print was the first to reply.

"Who said that being called a peacock makes you a bird? Your nickname is Invincible Rotating Vacuum Machine, but I've never seen you actually create a vacuum."

The woman in pajamas sneered.

"Hahahaha!"

Even the Queen couldn't help but burst into laughter this time.

"You're so much better off. It was supposed to be a super peach, but it shrank as soon as it got wet. Last time it got a water element and almost drowned. I had to fish you out."

The woman in leopard print retorted.

"Hey, didn't we agree not to tell anyone?"

The woman in the pajamas immediately jumped up, saying that the ties had been untied and her entire upper body was almost exposed.

"Who told you to say my name first?"

The woman in leopard print rolled her eyes.

"Alright, you two shut up. Aren't you ashamed to expose each other's shortcomings in front of men?"

The Queen glared at them both, and the two wisely shut their mouths.

"Your Majesty, I think I know."

A woman dressed as a maid raised her hand.

"You said."

The Queen nodded.

"That sounds like the name of a very powerful real estate developer."

She said, dressed as a maid.

"A big real estate developer? How did you know?"

The Queen pressed for an answer.

“I used to work as a cleaner in an office building, and I heard it from other people in the property management.”

She replied in her maid outfit.

"You used to work as a cleaner in an office building? Do you know Jennifer?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng immediately asked.

"Shut up, man. It's not your time to speak yet."

The Queen said bluntly.

"Okay, you guys go first."

He shrugged.

Anyway, the driver is on his way, so delaying him is also to his advantage.

How powerful is that peacock?

The Queen then asked.

"I don't know, but the property manager said that most of the office buildings in Metropolis belong to her."

The maid shook her head.

"So rich? Then who is that Writers' Association president?"

The Queen asked again, but this time no one answered her.

However, since it can fight with a peacock, it must be of a similar level.

"Since such important figures are fighting, what makes you think you'll survive?"

She questioned.

"Because salmon protected me."

Liu Zheng proudly picked up the calico cat.

"That's right, salmon is amazing, meow~"

The calico cat proudly raised its head.

"Um"

The Queen reluctantly accepted the answer.

If they weren't afraid of the cat, they would have arrested and interrogated the man directly instead of trying to negotiate.

“I can barely accept your argument, man. But the Pink Kingdom is our territory, and men of unknown origin are not allowed to enter, especially with such a dangerous pet.”

The Queen glanced at the calico cat and said.

Although it's cute, it's also quite dangerous.

"The driver is on his way to pick me up. I will leave once he arrives."

Liu Zheng said.

"You still want to drive in? That's even more impossible now."
