The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!
Chapter 1410 - 853: You’re Really Different from the Legendary Delivery Man_2
Shi Yidao spoke with a deep fatigue in his voice.
"So did you kill them all?"
Liu Zheng guessed.
"...I don’t want to be a samurai anymore, but I also don’t want to become a homicidal maniac."
Shi Yidao replied wordlessly.
"Seems like there’s not much difference. Alright, go on."
"So I just told them to leave."
Shi Yidao said.
"Did they ever mention that the killer of your son is Boss Yamaguchi of the First Group?"
Liu Zheng asked.
"They did."
Shi Yidao nodded.
"You don’t believe it?"
"I believe it all. But I’m just one person with one sword; I can’t kill so many."
He replied.
A thought suddenly flashed through Liu Zheng’s mind. Initially, he found it absurd, but the more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
"I’m a bit hungry; go order us a table of food."
He turned to the twin-tailed girl.
"Yes, Master."
The twin-tailed girl was eager to stay and listen to the gossip, but since Liu Zheng requested, she could only leave the booth.
"Boom!"
Once she left, Liu Zheng immediately activated the Four-armed Asura mode, and the Asura Great Dharma Wheel spun overhead.
"Finally decided to act?"
Shi Yidao seemed to have anticipated this result long ago, his hand gripping the sword hilt.
"No, I’m worried that after I finish speaking, you’ll reflexively react, so I thought I’d prepare in advance."
Liu Zheng shook his head.
"What are you going to say?"
Shi Yidao inquired.
"Do you have another child?"
Liu Zheng asked.
"?!" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Shi Yidao’s tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, revealing pitch-black eye sockets.
His sword didn’t leave its sheath, but the intangible sword energy had already emerged, slashing towards Liu Zheng’s neck.
Liu Zheng, unhurriedly, let the Asura Great Dharma Wheel emit light, counteracting the sword energy.
"See, I told you you’d reflexively react."
He said smugly.
"How do you know?"
Shi Yidao asked in a deep voice.
Indeed, he was just reacting reflexively; otherwise, the power of that sword would have been much greater.
"I guessed. If I were you, if there’s a chance, I’d kill them all; they’re no use alive anyway."
Liu Zheng said.
Of course, it might also be out of cowardice.
But he felt Shi Yidao wasn’t that type of coward.
"Since you know, what are you planning?"
Shi Yidao asked.
"Let’s talk business. Hiding forever isn’t a solution; in your situation, your child isn’t living any better. I can provide a basic safe environment for your child, giving you the freedom to seek revenge. Even if you die, your child will be well cared for until adulthood. By the way, is your child a boy or girl?"
Liu Zheng asked.
"Do you think I’ll tell you?"
Shi Yidao sneered.
Knowing the gender makes it easier to find his child.
"If it’s a girl, she can stay with the doctor; he’d be happy for his daughter to have another playmate. If it’s a boy, he can stay at the primary school, lots of kids to play with so he won’t be lonely."
Liu Zheng continued talking to himself.
But he was cautious enough not to mention specific names.
"If you don’t want him to stay inside the city, I can send him outside. I have acquaintances on Bathhouse Street and Ten Thousand Great Mountains, and I can ensure your child’s safety."
The Stone Spirit Clan is naturally reliable, and Niu Daji’s family on Bathhouse Street has a secure job; as long as they don’t cause trouble, nobody can do anything to them.
"Do you think I would trust someone I’ve just met?"
Shi Yidao continued to sneer.
"I think you will. Or rather, you want to trust."
Liu Zheng said.
"Why?"
"Because you’re reaching your limit. The dead should give way to the living, but your other child is the living one, whereas you are a living corpse tormented daily by guilt and hatred."
He replied.
"Do you drink yourself into a stupor every day because when sober, you can always hear your dead son’s cries?"
"Don’t say it!"
Shi Yidao shouted.
In a flash of sword light, all the furniture in the room was cut in half, leaving deep sword marks on the walls.
"Alright. Whether or not you want to entrust me with your child can be decided later, but if you accept the delivery, I can provide you a way out."
Liu Zheng said.
"What way out?"
"The Fisherman, an agent of the sewers, is my elder; you can hide in the sewer first, then I’ll arrange for you to leave the city and go to Ten Thousand Great Mountains. I’m on good terms with the Stone Spirit Clan there; I can have them find you a secluded mountain. With your ability, living peacefully shouldn’t be a problem."
He said.
"Who exactly are you?"
Shi Yidao slightly furrowed his brow.
Though he didn’t fully understand, he sensed the terrifying connections of this person.
"Just a delivery man, that’s all. Time is short; you should decide."
Liu Zheng said, glancing at his phone.
"If I don’t agree, do you plan to use my child to threaten me?"
Shi Yidao asked.
"I won’t do that. I’m not a good person, but I’m not that low."
Liu Zheng shook his head.
"But honestly, if you die, your child can’t survive either."
He added.
"You’re so sure you can defeat me?"
Shi Yidao cold-smirked.
"I’m not certain. But I am sure you’ll die."
Liu Zheng took out the Anti-evil God Grenade.
Unlike the notorious soup sealed by the saucepan, its terrifying energy was palpable even without knowing exactly what it was.
"You’re quite different from that guy."
Shi Yidao suddenly remarked.
"The Legendary delivery man?"
"That’s right."
Shi Yidao nodded.
"Are you two familiar?"
Liu Zheng asked.
"We gambled a few times; I invited him to drinks, and he helped me test the sword."
Shi Yidao replied.
"Well, then you are indeed quite familiar."
Having done these three things together, men can be considered brothers.
"So when I later learned of his death, I even paid him a few distant toasts. Although he often caused trouble for others, he never truly harmed anyone, which is quite rare in Metropolis."
Shi Yidao said.
"I brought back his skeleton for burial; if you’re interested, you can pay your respects."
Liu Zheng said.
"Oh? He actually left behind bones?"
Shi Yidao was somewhat surprised.
The Legendary delivery man, an elite level expert, was considered to be precious, and even a single bone could be forged into a divine weapon. Especially since he died at Bloody Restaurant, leaving his body unrecovered seemed illogical.
"Probably he had arrangements made before his death."
Liu Zheng shrugged.
"He doesn’t seem like the kind to make such arrangements. Alright, where is his skeleton buried?"
Shi Yidao asked.
"Under the French Plane Tree on Rose Street, the one that’s grown consciousness. If you visit, say you’re a friend of Liu Zheng; otherwise, it might attack you."
Liu Zheng replied.
"I should go for a visit. Without him, I wouldn’t have comprehended that sword. Now, deliver the takeout to me."
Shi Yidao suddenly said.
"So suddenly?"
Liu Zheng raised an eyebrow.
"I can’t wield that sword against his successor. Besides, your offer is quite generous. But I want to add one more condition: half of the recent winnings go to me."
Shi Yidao said.
"Fine, I actually intended to give it all to you."
Liu Zheng agreed.
"I’ll just take what’s mine."
Shi Yidao shook his head.
Liu Zheng immediately took out 2.5 million in cash, and Shi Yidao, as promised, signed for the delivery.
"Can I borrow that ring of yours? Carrying so much cash is too conspicuous."
Shi Yidao asked.
"Sure. Don’t you have any storage gear?"
Liu Zheng was surprised.
This was the first time he’d encountered a powerful individual without storage equipment.
"Do you think I’m just pretending to be poor? Apart from this sword, I have nothing valuable on me."
Shi Yidao said irritably.
"That’s indeed very poor. Here, the command word is Infinite Heavenly Venerable. Don’t mess up the things inside; I spent a lot of effort organizing them."
Liu Zheng handed the Qiankun Ring to Shi Yidao.
"Got it. Wait for me on Rose Street; I’ll arrange things and come over."
Shi Yidao said.
"Alright."
Liu Zheng nodded.
Given how familiar he was with the Legendary delivery man, it wasn’t strange to know they could linger outside after delivering.
