Chapter 446: Chapter 370: Can Orphanages Adopt Ginseng Sprites?

As it turned out, there truly wasn’t a third assassin.

After hearing about the female ninja’s hiding technique, Lao Si led the security team on a thorough search but found nothing.

Seeing that assassination was hopeless, the long-haired assassin retracted her hair into her head, then turned her own head into a sea urchin.

Meanwhile, the deputy head of the security team, Da Xiang, was sliced into hundreds of pieces by the female ninja. Even with the ability to detach limbs, he was dead beyond any doubt.

As for the casualties among the regular security guards and the damage to the bathhouse’s structure, they were countless. The ceiling alone, once unfolded, would cost no less than six figures to repair.

Upon coming out of the safe house, Yuan Baoer was so angry that her face turned as black as the bandages, and Liu Zheng was worried she might collapse from rage.

It’s safe to say that Ga Ga Shuang Bathhouse suffered greatly from the turmoil. Even if it wasn’t a crippling blow, it was certainly left with a face full of grime.

And with so many guests at the bathhouse, even if they wanted to keep the incident under wraps, it was impossible; the whole Bathhouse Street probably knew what had happened by now.

If Ga Ga Shuang Bathhouse couldn’t redeem itself, the troubles ahead would only multiply.

"Alas, the long-haired woman died too resolutely, not even leaving us any intelligence to extract."

Lao Si sighed as he sat in Secretary Li’s chair.

Although her desk was smashed, the office chair was still intact.

Techniques or abilities to extract memories from brain tissue or souls were plenty in Metropolis.

But in reality, with the size of Metropolis, apart from giants like City Hall or specialized places like hospitals and cemeteries, finding someone with such abilities wasn’t easy.

And Ga Ga Shuang Bathhouse just so happened to lack such individuals.

"Do we even need to interrogate? It’s always Great Jiang Mountain, always a female ninja; it’d be strange if it weren’t Granny Tang’s doing."

Yuan Baoer said through gritted teeth.

Though it’s said that Metropolis is a melting pot where no matter your race or culture, you must integrate and live together after entering.

Most creatures instinctively flock together, and those of the same species and culture naturally tend to group up.

Although Granny Tang’s identity is mysterious and she has many capable and varied people under her, the majority still stem from a Fusang background.

Moreover, of all the establishments on Bathhouse Street, Granny Tang had the most motive to target Ga Ga Shuang Bathhouse.

When Ga Ga Shuang Bathhouse forcefully settled on Bathhouse Street, it impacted all the bathhouses on the street, but the most affected were Granny Tang’s and her associated bathhouses.

Originally the undisputed top dog of Bathhouse Street, Granny Tang’s status was questioned after the success of Ga Ga Shuang Bathhouse.

"Even if it’s true, it’s not good to retaliate directly without evidence."

Lao Si scratched his head and said.

The other bathhouses certainly wanted to replace Granny Tang, and they were also extremely wary of Ga Ga Shuang Bathhouse.

If Ga Ga Shuang Bathhouse used this opportunity to challenge Granny Tang again, who knows if they were simply out for revenge, or if they had plans to escalate even further.

A newcomer like Ga Ga Shuang Bathhouse who made their way up step by step is much more frightening than conservative old-timers like Granny Tang.

If they took over as the heads of Bathhouse Street, the other bathhouses would only be worse off than they are now.

Therefore, even if the other bathhouses also believe Granny Tang was to blame, they would not admit it publicly.

Even if Yuan Baoer presented evidence, they would mediate the situation and prevent Ga Ga Shuang Bathhouse from gaining too much advantage.

"Damn it, we weren’t ruthless enough back then. If we had known, we should have gotten more people to subdue all these bastards on Bathhouse Street once and for all."

Having suffered such a big loss, Yuan Baoer could no longer maintain the bearing of a boss.

"That’s right, that’s right."

Lao Si outwardly agreed but was rolling his eyes on the inside.

The conflict back then was already ruthless enough. There hadn’t been such a major conflict on Bathhouse Street in hundreds of years, otherwise Granny Tang wouldn’t have waited so many years before acting.

As for the idea of resolving the issue once and for all, that was just wishful thinking. People are forgetful by nature, even the Immortal Species don’t remember the punishment over the reward.

"Well, don’t rush to discuss chopping people up, help me hurry up the dishes first."

Liu Zheng lay on the sofa, lifting a healthy tentacle to tap on the coffee table, trying to get their attention.

After this round of intense battles, he and the folks at Ga Shuang Bathhouse had bonded over life and death, and thus his attitude became much more casual.

Mainly because Liu Zheng’s current condition was rather dire.

The female ninja’s poison blade was really something, even a trace of its leftover venom was still corroding his body.

Once the poison was completely exhausted, his size had shrunk to a third of its original.

The current Liu Zheng could sit at the kids’ table with Vampire Sister during meals.

"Right away, right away."

Lao Si quickly picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Kitchen, kitchen, why hasn’t Mr. Liu’s food been served yet?"

He shouted into the walkie-talkie.

"Manager Si, it’s already off the stove, it’s coming right away."

The voice on the other end of the walkie-talkie said.

"Hurry it up, will you? Skip the fancy plating, Mr. Liu doesn’t go for that."

Lao Si cautioned.

"Got it."

Soon after, the kitchen staff brought the dishes over on a cart.

All the other dishes were generous and tasty home-style cooking, such as chicken stew with mushrooms, stir-fried meat slices, and Di San Xian, braised pork bones with soy sauce, and the like.

Only one of the pots was gold-plated and covered, with nine small golden dragons on the lid, whose claws tightly clasped the edge of the pot mouth, looking mysterious and regal.
