Chapter 386: Chapter 341 Niu Ma: Duet Shao? You say Duet Shao?

"Jinzi’s niece at the front desk of Jidao Public Bath was detained by the big boss of the bathhouse street; they want me to go save her,"

Liu Zheng said.

"Detained? Just pay them off, and it’s settled. That bunch of bathhouse generations isn’t exactly broke,"

Niu Ma said dismissively.

Although Jinzi’s family wasn’t of high status and earned their keep through hard work, their income was steady.

After many years of trickling in, it had also gathered into a small river.

"The key is that the boss doesn’t plan on slaughtering the pig directly; he’s planning to surround the spot and reinforce it."

Liu Zheng explained.

It took Niu Ma a good while to comprehend his erudite saying.

"Can’t you talk plain, kid? Don’t you know I never went to school?"

It grumbled irritably.

"Then you better start saving some educational funds for little Niu Ma., You can’t let the kids lose at the starting line after you’ve suffered from a lack of education,"

Liu Zheng quipped.

"As if I need you to tell me that. I’m already saving, aren’t I?"

Niu Ma rolled its eyes at him.

"I’ve got an opportunity to make a fortune in my hands. Interested?"

He asked.

"What opportunity? You’re not thinking of dragging me into that bathhouse street rescue, are you?"

"You could be interested, but they’re not offering cash as a reward. If you want in, I can only roughly estimate a value for your cut."

Liu Zheng said.

"Oh? What is it?"

Niu Ma asked curiously.

"Legendary delivery man’s underwear."

"Eww~"

Niu Ma voiced its disgust.

"You’re disgusting, collecting such things."

"The item is pretty disgusting, but you can’t beat the effectiveness."

He told it about the effects of the Legendary Underwear.

"Damn, that’s awesome."

Niu Ma exclaimed.

It knew how powerful the Legendary delivery man’s gear was; one vest had turned Liu Zheng from a pebble into a cannon. If he got the whole set, it would be incredible.

"But kid, why tell me if you’re not afraid of one less ace up your sleeve when the time comes?"

It said.

"Good news is meant to be shared with the boss. Besides, how do you know this is my only ace?"

Liu Zheng said with a slight smile.

"Hmph, playing stratagems with me now? Count me out, and don’t call me for any out-of-town jobs in the future."

Niu Ma snorted.

"Why?"

With Niu Ma’s strength, going out of town would be a reckless slaughter.

If the outside were more dangerous than inside the city, those demons and monsters that frequented bathhouse street wouldn’t dare enter the city.

"Your sister-in-law is in town. I can’t leave."

Niu Ma replied.

"Oh. But I haven’t seen you go home though."

Liu Zheng said, puzzled.

"Humph, the moves of the boss can’t be completely tracked by a lackey like you."

Niu Ma said with pride.

"Fine. I discussed a deal with the general manager of Unlucky Coffee. If it works out, we could make ten million,"

He brought the conversation back to the point.

"Ten thousand and you think... wait, did you say ten million?"

Niu Ma’s pitch rose.

"Ten million."

"Ten million!"

Niu Ma’s voice could match that of a castrato.

"That’s right."

"Tell me, what are we going to blow up? Even if it’s City Hall you want me to bomb today, I’ll do it as long as you take good care of your sister-in-law and niece."

Niu Ma said earnestly.

"Come on, how about you not jump straight to blowing up stuff? Most of the time, I’m not in favor of violence, okay?"

"Besides, haven’t you been ED? How would I have a niece?"

Liu Zheng said exasperatedly.

"In a big city like Metropolis, there are plenty of ways for Niu Ma to get pregnant overnight; it’s just a matter of money. Once I have ten million, whether I want to go to a clinic or a hospital, I’ll have that option,"

Niu Ma boasted.

"Are you sure the child conceived that way would be yours? And how is it ten million already? Don’t I get a cut?"

"Seventy-thirty split, you take thirty, I take seventy. You just handle contacting the financier, and I’ll take care of the rest,"

Niu Ma proposed.

"You really are putting money before your life, boss,"

"Hmph, you think I’m an idiot? A mere manager of Unlucky Coffee can’t be planning to blow up City Hall. I’ve delivered for Bloody Restaurant for so many years without a scratch. Unless it’s those few places, it’s not easy for me to die,"

Niu Ma confidently stated.

"You actually got it right. The boss wants me to exchange the Black Deer Head for the brain in the sewer, and the general manager of Unlucky Coffee wants the Black Deer Head,"

Liu Zheng said, grinning.

"...Goodbye."

Niu Ma said after a moment of silence.

"What? You’re not going to take the seven million?"

He said on purpose.

"Screw that. Bloody Restaurant plus the sewer, you couldn’t pay someone seven billion to take that job, let alone seven million,"

Niu Ma scoffed.

Of course, for those who had hit rock bottom in the Old City District, they might take any chance they could to turn their fortunes around.

But Niu Ma had a job, a business, a wife. Even if its head were full of sewer sludge, it wouldn’t make such a dumb move.

"True to your reputation, boss, always knowing when to hold ’em and fold ’em,"

Liu Zheng admired.

"Indeed, wait, no, you’re looking for a beating, aren’t you? Wait until I get back to sort you out properly,"

Niu Ma realized and shouted.

"My bad."

He promptly backed down.

"Humph, not sure who’s the one more flexible here. Don’t be so reckless, you’ve got such a wide network now, and your influence is growing. When I retire, you can take over my resources. Even if you can’t continue as an excellent employee like me, living an easy life shouldn’t be a problem."

"Once I get the smuggling business off the ground, I’ll figure out a way to get you out, and we’ll expand the business together. After my wife has a kid, I’ll hand the business over to you. Just toss me a little dividend each month and we’re good."
