Chapter 655: Chapter 473: Liu Zheng, You Are Playing with Fire_2

"You still have some sense."

He nodded.

Although these supernatural beings have many ways to conceal weapons, not showing them is a sign of their attitude.

If the Jiwei Group dared to openly brandish weapons, Liu Zheng would have to give them a lesson.

Facing the gaze of the five-person group, he calmly stepped onto the platform, sitting cross-legged in front of Guo Koutangzi.

Niu Daji hesitated for a moment but did not sit down. Instead, he stood behind Liu Zheng, just like when he was on duty.

"This delivery, I must make."

Liu Zheng stated bluntly.

As soon as he said this, Guo Koutangzi and the others showed anger, only Garlic remained calm.

"Boss Liu Zheng, can I speak?"

Chili Head glanced at Guo Koutangzi and spoke.

"That depends on your identity."

Liu Zheng replied.

"What do you mean by that?"

"If you are my friend, then of course you can speak. Say whatever you want."

"Anyone who dares to stop you, I’ll smash their mouth."

"If you are my enemy, as a subordinate, what right do you have to talk to me?"

"If you dare to say a word, my subordinates will smash your mouth."

He said calmly.

Upon hearing his words, Niu Daji immediately flexed his biceps.

"We..."

Chili Head glanced again at Guo Koutangzi. Seeing no response, he continued speaking.

"Of course, we are your friends now."

"Friends, we can talk about it."

Liu Zheng nodded and said.

"I have tried not to deliver, but I failed."

"And based on the information I have, Garlic should not die."

"If he dies and becomes a spirit, I’ll arrange the best plot for him in the cemetery."

"Moreover, I have a lead on an item, a soul treasure coveted by the previous agent of the sewer. When I get it, I’ll give it to Garlic, ensuring he’ll live longer in death than in life."

"If his soul doesn’t exist, I’ll mourn for you as if you were a family of mine, and I’ll take care of all your closest ones and fulfill all your last wishes to the best of my ability."

His last sentence was directed straight at Garlic.

Upon hearing Liu Zheng’s words, Garlic’s previously impassive face couldn’t help but show emotion.

"What’s the point of having these things when you’re dead?"

Guo Koutangzi suddenly sneered.

"Big Sister! Didn’t we agree that I would speak?"

Chili Head exclaimed.

"I couldn’t help it. Yes, you’re a good man and a good friend. If today it was me being delivered, I wouldn’t say a word. As long as you can ensure the Jiwei Group’s brand shines again."

"But delivering to Garlic, that’s impossible."

"Garlic, stretch out your head!"

Guo Koutangzi ordered sharply.

"Big Sister, is it really necessary?"

Garlic hesitated a bit.

"What, just because you’re going to die, you don’t listen to me anymore?"

Guo Koutangzi glared at him.

"How could I? Even in death, you’re still my Big Sister."

Garlic replied without hesitation.

"Then stretch out your head."

"Yes."

Garlic extended his neck.

"Clap!"

Guo Koutangzi took out a ladle and hit hard, and Garlic’s bulb cracked open in response.

Three light pink, wrinkled cloves clustered together appeared before everyone, covered with a translucent mucus.

On the other side of the bulb, it was empty.

"He used to have nine cloves, the smartest among all Garlics, and learned all knowledge up to university just by self-study."

"He was originally supposed to go to college. We even had the tuition ready for him."

"But due to my mistake, I got trapped by a rival gang."

"Garlic used six cloves to swap me out, turning from a genius into a fool."

"He was meant to have a far better future than being just a subordinate, and the Jiwei Group was supposed to have broader protection."

"So, I can die, but he cannot."

Guo Koutangzi declared resolutely.

"Well said, but you should be talking to the restaurant, not me. I’m just a delivery man, not the boss."

"Even the restaurant boss may not be able to cancel a delivery order at will."

"Alright, I’ve said my piece, and you’ve said yours. Now it’s Garlic’s turn."

"If you say you don’t want to sign, then we’ll settle this right here. After all, we met in this bathhouse, and we can wipe away all grudges and grievances."

"If you say you’ll sign, then we’ll proceed as I mentioned before."

Liu Zheng raised a tentacle to block Guo Koutangzi’s mouth and said to Garlic.

"Pah! Garlic, you must not sign!"

Guo Koutangzi spat out the tentacle and shouted.

"Ah, I really don’t know what to do. Let’s roll the dice then."

Garlic closed his head, then took out a die.

"If the dice shows a high number, I’ll listen to Big Sister. If it’s a low number, I’ll follow Liu Zheng."

He said.

"Alright."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"Hmm."

Guo Koutangzi didn’t object either.

Everyone here is essentially a gambler, so deciding by gambling isn’t unreasonable.

Garlic extended a palm, then began spinning the dice on it.

He was good at tossing dice, the dice spun rapidly in the palm but didn’t fall off.

Finally, the dice stopped spinning.

Two points.

"Ah, Liu Zheng, hand over the takeout to me."

Garlic sighed.

"Alright."

Liu Zheng put down the Legendary Takeout Box and took out the meal box.

"Wait a second."

Guo Koutangzi suddenly spoke.

"Big Sister."

Chili Head tried to dissuade her.

"Shut up."

Guo Koutangzi pointed the ladle at him as she spoke.

"Sigh."

Chili Head had no choice but to step back.

"Garlic, if you die, I’ll have a ghost marriage with you."

Guo Koutangzi said.

"Huh?"

Garlic and the others were stunned.

"What’s with the ’huh’, don’t think I don’t know you fancy me."

Guo Koutangzi said with a straight face.

"I... but..."

Garlic looked at her, then at Liu Zheng, with a panicked tone.

"I don’t mind."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"Being a widow isn’t too bad either."

He added.

"Alright then."

Garlic seemed to have made up his mind and took the takeout from Liu Zheng’s hands.

"Checkout at the restaurant, idle people keep away."

A voice sounded in Liu Zheng’s ear.

Then, a spine-chilling sensation arose within him, making him shiver from head to toe, as if caught between the teeth of a giant beast.

He looked around, Guo Koutangzi, Green Onion, Ginger, Chili, and Niu Daji were all gone, leaving only him and Garlic.

"You’re playing with fire, Liu Zheng."

With no warning, "he" suddenly appeared behind Liu Zheng.

"I don’t quite understand your meaning."

Liu Zheng said through gritted teeth.

"Do you think using your ridiculous rhetoric can completely avoid the restaurant’s rules?"

"He" moved above Liu Zheng, and the latter’s scalp felt the sensation of being scraped by something sharp.

"I certainly don’t think that way."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

But if he could partially evade, it showed that his rhetoric wasn’t entirely ridiculous.

"Looks like you haven’t lost your mind to the point of irrationality. This is the first time, and it better be the last. Even Li, when he got out of control, the restaurant was still willing to pay a considerable price."

"And for you, the restaurant doesn’t find it hard to make a choice."

"He" warned.

"I’m honored to be compared to the Legendary delivery man, but please believe, I haven’t such grand ambitions."

"What I’ve done is out of instinct for self-preservation and protection."

Liu Zheng defended himself.

"Do you know what Li Xiang does?"

"He" appeared in front of Liu Zheng, "face" close to face.

"No, but I suppose it’s surely something beyond what a mere mortal like me can reach."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"A mere mortal who can hang the sewer eggs up and come out unharmed?"

"He" couldn’t help but taunt, and that spine-chilling feeling slightly lessened for Liu Zheng.

"It’s all thanks to the restaurant’s training."

Liu Zheng said humbly.

"I don’t recall nurturing such things in you."

"He" left Liu Zheng and moved to Garlic’s side.

At that moment, Garlic appeared as lifeless as if all his cloves had been taken away, looking dazed and motionless.

"No matter what you intend to do, do not attempt to defy the restaurant’s will. The Legendary delivery man failed, and you will fail too."

"And this time, you’ll fail even faster."

"He" opened his invisible mouth and swallowed Garlic whole.
