Chapter 1018: Chapter 1018
He let out a breath and directly threw another gold bar to the werewolf clerk, who grabbed it immediately.
Then Liu Zheng bent down in front of the werewolf clerk and picked up the one on the ground.
He pocketed the gold bar and asked.
"Are you really sick in the head? Alright, I won't argue with a lunatic, you can leave."
The werewolf clerk bit the gold bar and then waved his claws, speaking.
"You don't actually think this gold bar is to pay for your clothes, do you?"
Liu Zheng squinted and said.
"Alright, so you're really just here to deliver something to me."
The werewolf clerk immediately struck a combat stance.
"Are you freaking deaf? Deliver, deliver, deliver my mom's ashes for you to mix into your rice!?"
He finally couldn't hold it in and cursed out loud.
"This gold bar is a bribe, to get you to sell me things. Do I really have to say it out loud for you to understand? Huh?"
Liu Zheng's voice grew increasingly higher, reaching up to a C5 (theoretically the highest male tone) by the end.
"Then why are you insistent on buying things from our firm?"
His outburst softened the attitude of the werewolf clerk, but he was still questioning.
"Are you sure you want to know?"
"Alright, then I'll tell you."
He glanced at the werewolf clerk and took a deep breath.
"Because your firm is the white gloves of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, responsible for selling those who shouldn't be seen..."
The werewolf clerk quickly let out a loud howl, interrupting him.
"Do you need me to continue?"
After it stopped howling, Liu Zheng asked.
"No need. How do you know?"
The werewolf clerk's eyes were both cautious and dangerous.
"Of course, a familiar face introduced me."
"Which familiar face?"
The werewolf clerk pressed for more.
"Ma Kui, captain of the third squad, know him?"
The werewolf clerk shook his head.
"Then find someone you do know. Damn it, even looking out for familiar faces' business feels like being interrogated as a criminal. I'll tell Ma Kui when I get back, don't bother me with such crap again."
"Boss, we've got business."
The werewolf clerk gave him a twice-over and then shouted loudly.
"Yelling, yelling, what are you yelling for? New faces get kicked out, familiar faces follow procedures, why call me?"
After a while, a short figure peeped out from the second floor wearing pajamas.
His features are quite reminiscent of Wangcai, with pointed ears that curled upwards, a goblin for sure.
"This isn't a fresh face, I couldn't be sure, so I called you."
The werewolf explained innocently.
"What fresh face? Who is it?"
The goblin's voice still carried the heaviness of sleep.
"Well, it's him, he says he was introduced by Ma Kui, captain of the third squad."
The werewolf pointed at Liu Zheng and said.
"Captain Ma Kui? Why didn't he notify me about introducing someone to buy things?"
The goblin rubbed his eyes, his gaze slowly making its way down from Liu Zheng's head.
"Bloody Restaurant! You're that new delivery guy!"
"Finally someone recognizes me, I thought I was a nobody."
"Someone's causing trouble, quick, come help!"
The goblin shouted for help while turning to flee back to his bedroom.
He's not trying to hide; he wants to tip off the Criminal Investigation Bureau.
"Running away? Maybe stick around."
Liu Zheng directly threw the Insect Killing Voodoo Dagger.
The goblin isn't an alien insect, so the dagger doesn't deal extra damage to him, making it unlikely to kill him.
Of course, if it happens to stab him to death, then it's just his bad luck.
The Insect Killing Dagger shot like an arrow towards the goblin's back, and the werewolf clerk wanted to jump up to block it but was swatted away by Liu Zheng.
"Want to help? You should first help yourself."
Liu Zheng said coldly.
With nearly a hundred points in strength combined with flesh turned into "Iron Block", his previous strike was almost like a siege hammer.
Even though werewolves have rough skin and thick flesh, they were battered with stars dancing in their eyes.
"With just this little skill, do you really need to throw gold bars for a delivery job?"
The werewolf roared, sprang up, and charged forward like a carp flipping.
Its eyes were blood-red, and hot breath spewed from its nostrils; it seemed to have entered a berserk state.
Liu Zheng swung his knife casually, and this time the werewolf caught it firmly.
"Buffed up? I have one too." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel⦿fire.net
He opened his eyes wide in fury, his skin cracking all over, golden Sun Flame spurting from his nostrils.
"Take another strike from me!"
He retracted his Slaughter Knife, roared, and chopped down fiercely.
The werewolf's response was only a howl.
In a berserk state, it seemed to have lost its ability to speak.
Its black claws crossed into a 'X' to block upwards.
The sound of metal rang out, the claws sank down but quickly rose again.
Naturally extraordinary species like werewolves are stronger than hybrid like Liu Zheng. Even with strength-enhancing abilities, the berserk state boosts more than "Angry Fire Burning Body".
However, Liu Zheng doesn't only have this move.
He spun around, raising his hind hoofs abruptly, and the Citizen Health Shoes transformed into a red and white phantom, striking the werewolf's abdomen.
With the dual augmentation from "Strength Amplifier" and "Buck Kick", this hoof kick sent the werewolf flying through the air, embedding it into the wall.
The werewolf groaned, tilted its head, and fell silent.
Three men rushed out from behind, shocked at what they saw.
"You guys protect the boss, I'll take him out!"
One of them wearing an Iron Face mask shouted, then charged alone at Liu Zheng.
"Since you're all here, none of you are leaving."
Liu Zheng of course wouldn't let them rescue the business owner, who had been knocked out with an Insect Killing Dagger anyway.
He stomped the ground fiercely, using the reaction force to charge towards the Iron-faced Man.
With the 25% speed boost from the Citizen Health Shoes, within a breath, they were almost nose to nose.
The Iron-faced Man reacted quickly, immediately swinging a punch towards Liu Zheng's face as he approached.
His hand had scales like those of a crocodile, yet his fingers were thin and short like a mouse's.
However, his punch was powerful; before it hit, the wind from it brushed Liu Zheng's face.
"You want to compete with me in boxing?"
Liu Zheng chuckled, his two tentacles curling into a ball, sealing and blocking the Iron-faced Man's punch in mid-air.
Then he pulled back his third tentacle, thrusting violently towards the Iron-faced Man's chest.
In boxing, it is said, to hit a big fist is like using a small spear.
Boxing is essentially a simplified spear technique, but ordinary people lack the strength and technique to wield a fist like a spear.
However, Liu Zheng not only had strength but also technique, and his tentacles, hardened by "Iron Block", were not only spear-like in shape but also tougher than a spear.
This tentacle thrust out with the formidable force of penetrating an enemy general in a sea of soldiers, knocking him off his mount.
Meanwhile, his fourth tentacle didn't rest, swinging the Slaughter Knife horizontally at the Iron-faced Man's waist.
Four hands are more useful than two, not only for offense and defense but also allowing for multiple simultaneous attack lines.
"Blood Magic · Corrupted Blood Fang!"
The Iron-faced Man realized things weren't going well, shot a yellow fang from his mouth.
There was no time to evade, so Liu Zheng used the skill on his own face.
With the enhancement of Constitution Attributes, the effect of "Iron Block" further improved, and the fang only pierced a layer of skin before falling off dully.
The Iron-faced Man was not frightened by this, instead, he...
"You want to compete with me in boxing?"
Liu Zheng chuckled, his two tentacles curling into a ball, sealing and blocking the Iron-faced Man's punch in mid-air.
Then he pulled back his third tentacle, thrusting out violently.
