Chapter 580: Chapter 436: Let Britain Take Its Own Course

"What’s the matter, little bro? For saving your big brother’s life, just tell me whatever you need."

After speaking, the old security guard shifted his tone.

"But you know, I’m just a lowly security guard. My abilities are limited, so I might not be able to help much, you know."

"I understand. I won’t make things difficult for you. Here’s some of our Bloody Restaurant’s special dried fish. Take these to pair with your drink, big bro."

Liu Zheng placed three dried fish on the table.

"Oh wow, you shouldn’t have."

The old security guard said he shouldn’t take them, but his face was full of delight.

The culinary offerings of the Bloody Restaurant, even just dried fish, were considered rare delicacies.

He couldn’t wait for his shift to end. Then he’d organize a drinking session, whip out the dried fish, and make his old buddies green with envy.

"This is just a small token of appreciation. If you want more, big bro, I’ve got plenty to share."

Liu Zheng had an air of nonchalance.

"Looks like little bro is doing well at the restaurant. Even employees there usually can’t give away stuff so casually, right?"

The old security guard probed.

"Not bad, just the boss taking care of me and my colleagues showing some respect."

He replied modestly.

"Young and capable indeed. By the way, was it you who delivered food here last time?"

The old security guard asked.

"It truly was."

"Oh man, the commotion you caused was no joke. I got chewed out by the manager like you wouldn’t believe."

"Honestly, being scolded doesn’t bother me much. At my age, my skin’s plenty thick. But having my wages docked? That was gut-wrenching."

"Sigh."

The old security guard let out a heavy sigh.

"Big bro, you must be mistaken."

Liu Zheng shook his head and replied.

"What do you mean by that, little bro?"

The old security guard was stunned.

"Your wages are right here. Hurry up and pick them up before you lose them again."

He pointed to the bills on the floor.

"Huh? Since when? Ah, yes, yes. Look at me, I’m getting old, my brain’s all muddled, my vision’s bad too—I even forgot my wages on the ground."

Beaming, the old security guard bent down and picked up the bills.

"Right, what were you saying just now? Just tell me, and if it’s doable, big bro here will take care of it for you. If it’s not, I’ll figure out a way to make it happen."

He spoke enthusiastically.

"It’s actually not a big deal. I’ve got a friend staying here who’s recently been targeted by a group of monks. I’m busy with work, and given the differences between men and women, it’s inconvenient for me to watch over her closely."

"I just wanted to ask if big bro could look out for her a bit. If something really happens, give her a hand."

Liu Zheng explained.

"That’s no problem at all. Security guards exist to protect the safety of residents."

The old security guard heaved a sigh of relief.

He’d thought it was going to be some tricky demand.

"But if a lot of people show up, I might not be able to hold my ground. I’m not shirking here, you know my abilities, big bro’s just got this level of skill. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let you sneak past me last time."

The old security guard spoke quite candidly.

"Got it. Don’t worry, big bro. From now on, when I deliver food here, you just do your thing as usual. Any losses incurred, I’ll cover them."

Liu Zheng promised.

"Little bro, you’re too generous. Ah, this is making me feel embarrassed. Wait a bit, I’ll think up a plan for you."

The old security guard said as he got up and started pacing in the security booth.

"Got it!"

He suddenly clapped his hands.

"What brilliant plan has big bro come up with?"

Liu Zheng played along.

"Well, it’s not exactly brilliant. I was thinking, since we’re short on manpower, why not organize a safety drill?"

The old security guard suggested.

"What’s the idea?"

"You know that old lady, right? Ask her to call our manager and say she thinks the apartment’s security measures aren’t adequate. Then our manager will definitely come to me about it. That’s when I’ll propose a safety drill and get the main office to send more people."

The old security guard explained.

"I see. Is that old lady influential?"

He asked.

"She’s definitely got clout. She’s even a shareholder in our company. Otherwise, do you think I could let her push me around like this?"

The old security guard’s eyes welled up with melancholy.

"Don’t worry, big bro. In our Metropolis, no one escapes situations like this. Plenty of big shots also used to hustle in dark alleys. Didn’t stop them from reaching the top eventually."

Liu Zheng replied.

"Little bro, have you done such things too?"

"What I’ve done is far worse. Ever licked feet before?"

He asked.

"Never feet, just... down there."

The old security guard shook his head.

"Licking down there is nothing. Have you ever licked feet that ooze black water, causing their flesh to decay afterward?"

Liu Zheng sneered.

"Holy shit, how are you still alive, little bro?"

The old security guard exclaimed.

"Without the skills for the job, who would dare take it on? Ever eaten shit?"

He asked again.

"Never, only drank pee."

The old security guard admitted, a little embarrassed.

"How much?"

"Sometimes a bowl or two, sometimes a bottle or two—it depends on how much that lady drank."

The old security guard thought for a moment before answering.

"Only two bottles? I drink by the liter. The shit is aged stool—at least a century or two old."

Liu Zheng let out a snort of laughter.

"Ah, if someone’s been constipated for a century or two, wouldn’t they explode?"

The old security guard was floored.

"Unfortunately, that person doesn’t explode—could probably hold it for another four or five centuries."

He said, face full of anguish.

"Little bro, you’ve been through hell."

The old security guard looked at him with pity.

"To truly rise above, you’ve got to eat the nastiest shit there is. In Metropolis, if you want to survive, you have to be ruthless—not just ruthless towards others, but even more ruthless towards yourself."

Liu Zheng’s expression hardened.
