Chapter 747: Chapter 520 Liu Zheng: I Got Massively Trolled?_2

"If you had followed someone else, you might not have had this treatment."

He consoled.

"Thanks, though I don’t really feel comforted."

Shui Sishisan didn’t give face.

To hold on until now, its mind was as hard as a rock.

"Then let me properly console you. Just for what you said earlier, I will protect your daughter. If the company doesn’t give face, I wouldn’t mind blowing it up again."

Liu Zheng said decisively.

"Thank you, you really know how to console people."

A slight smile finally appeared on Shui Sishisan’s face.

"Then let’s go."

Liu Zheng walked slowly toward the Doppler Knight, the wounds on his body healing one by one.

Admittedly, the deflection field device that Shui Sishisan prepared was really useful. Without it, his physical exhaustion would’ve been three to four times more.

When they reached about ten meters from the Doppler Knight, the opponent suddenly raised a hand.

Liu Zheng instinctively stopped and raised three knives to protect himself.

However, the Doppler Knight’s target was not him.

"Bang!"

The Fungal Blanket in front of Liu Zheng suddenly exploded, splattering onto him despite the knives blocking it.

He looked down; in the hole blown open in the Fungal Blanket lay a pile of blue glass shards.

Judging by the shape, they were originally a blue glass ball.

"Boss, it’s time to wake up."

The Doppler Knight put away his slingshot and stomped his foot.

A strong vibration spread from under his feet to the surroundings, even Liu Zheng and Shui Sishisan felt unsteady beneath their feet.

After a brief silence, two massive reddish horns emerged from the hole at his feet.

The two bug horns were symmetrically inward, with tooth-like protrusions on the inside, and the tips had two small forks, looking like antlers.

Liu Zheng immediately recognized this as the antlered insect from Neon anime, also known as the shovel-shaped insect.

This insect was rare in Neon due to climatic reasons, aggressive by nature, and majestic in appearance, making it very popular in Neon and extremely expensive, once selling for as high as $89,000.

As the horns slowly extended, a face appeared with a full Heavenly Court and framed jaws, but its distinctly human features retained many human characteristics, making it look quite bizarre.

The antlered insect crawled out of the hole with its eyes closed, the Nutrient Liquid surrounding it slowly sliding off and being reabsorbed by the Fungal Blanket.

After half a minute passed, it finally opened its eyes.

"I spent so much money hiring you, not to have you disturb my sleep. I only sleep this once a week, do you know how important this nap is to me?"

The antlered insect slowly spoke, its hoarse voice tinged with a thick sense of sleepiness.

"I don’t know. But I think that the employer’s life is more important than the employer’s sleep. After all, a wise man once said, ’Why sleep long in life, naturally rest long in death.’

The Doppler Knight replied unapologetically.

"I will complain to your introducer."

The antlered insect said emotionlessly.

"Suit yourself, after all, I’m already the best bodyguard you can hire at this price."

In other words, he was the lowest-priced among guards of the same level.

As for why, just two sentences revealing a complaint from him could see it clearly.

"You get what you pay for."

The antlered insect sighed, looking towards Liu Zheng and Shui Sishisan.

"You’re the HR department’s Shui Sheng, promoted to manager seven months ago, with no other hobbies besides lounging on the 11th floor and watching plasma movies, young and promising."

It methodically recited Shui Sishisan’s information.

"You remember well, Chairman."

Shui Sishisan said.

"I remember the information of every employee, even an outsourcing or a cleaner. Have you forgotten our company’s corporate culture?"

"Details determine success, connections create success."

Shui Sishisan caught the topic.

"Exactly. So why?"

The antlered insect asked.

"Sorry, it’s beyond my control."

Shui Sishisan sighed.

To be fair, this company had no major issues besides too many rules and an intense atmosphere; in fact, its salary and promotion systems were more open and transparent than most companies.

"Who sent you?"

The antlered insect asked again.

Shui Sishisan just shook his head without answering.

"I know, it was Green Shade Culture that sent you."

Even so, the antlered insect figured out the answer itself.

Green Shade Culture was precisely the company where Wang Manni worked.

"Any more talk is useless. Chairman, for the sake of our time working together, please take your own life."

Shui Sishisan said.

"You want me to take my own life? Are you kidding? Too bad I don’t find it funny."

The antlered insect said coldly.

"I’m not kidding. Mr. Liu, if the Chairman takes his own life, can you leave its body intact and not use it as an ingredient?"

Shui Sishisan asked Liu Zheng.

"If it saves me some trouble, seeing as it’s you, it’s not impossible."

The latter nodded.

"As expected of someone from the Bloody Restaurant, such big words. It seems you’re here specifically for me. Did Green Shade Culture hire you? Over these years, their endurance hasn’t improved, but their endurance has improved, to be able to cooperate with you even after losing so much face."

Not surprisingly, someone who created a company capable of threatening their former employer after leaving, the antlered insect figured everything out in a few sentences.

"Only a few executives and my secretary know my schedule, who did you bribe? Or did you use other methods? Whoever tells me, this money is theirs."

The antlered insect pulled out a wallet from its suit pocket and pulled out stack after stack of money from it.

Apparently, this wallet was also a storage device, but it should have significant limitations like a portable freezer.

Liu Zheng looked at the money in its hands with a strange expression.

Usually, he was the one using money magic on others; he never expected someone to use it on him today.

However, thinking it over, he felt that this event being strange was truly strange. After all, the person was a Chairman, while he was just a delivery man, so being showered with money was normal.

"Even though I’d love to earn this money, if I said you might not believe it, actually it was just my schedule couldn’t be cleared last minute, and I happened to run into you."

As a fellow money magician, Liu Zheng decided to give the antlered insect a bit of face, let it die peacefully.

"I believe."

To his surprise, the antlered insect directly believed it.

"If even the old partners I fought with and the secretary I promoted betrayed me, then I truly deserve to die. Thank you for answering my question; this is what you deserve."

"Doppler, give him the money."

The antlered insect ordered.

"If I kill him, can I have this money?"

Doppler asked maliciously.

"No."

The antlered insect shook its head.

"Tch."

Doppler took the money and walked towards Liu Zheng.

His steps were wide and heavy, each step splashing the juice from the Fungal Blanket.

"Thud! Thud thud! Thud! Thud thud thud!"

The footsteps formed a continuous beat, like drumbeats, stepping on Liu Zheng’s heart.

However, he didn’t feel the beauty of the rhythm; instead, his heart felt constricted as if something squeezed it, uncomfortable.

Grip and release, grip and release...

"Ugh!"

When Doppler reached Liu Zheng, he finally couldn’t hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Though there were no tissue fragments in it, his heart still throbbed with a dull pain, as if it had been crushed.

"With just this ability, you still want to be an assassin."

Doppler looked down at Liu Zheng, sneering,

"Hey, boss, can’t you really let me finish him off? I’d only need half the money."

He turned back to ask the antlered insect.

"I don’t like to repeat myself, Mr. Doppler. If you make me unhappy about such matters again, I will file a serious complaint with your introducer."

The antlered insect said seriously.

A complaint meant little to mercenaries like Doppler, who was cheap and good; employers seeking value for money would always pick him.

But a serious complaint, if validity confirmed, would lower his mercenary rating, which would be more problematic.

"Tsk, consider yourself lucky."

Doppler turned away and swaggered off, his entire body full of openings.
