Chapter 1425: Chapter 861: Liu Zheng: Iron Rust, I’m Back Again!
"Alright, I think I understand."
Liu Zheng said.
"So keep it for yourself. With so many flings, surely one would be willing to help you revive."
Niu Ma said maliciously.
"Boss, your jealousy is written all over your face."
Liu Zheng said, squinting slightly.
"Hmph!"
Niu Ma rolled his eyes.
"Since you won’t use it, I’ll utilize it for official business."
Liu Zheng said.
"Whatever, it’s your thing anyway."
Niu Ma displayed no curiosity about official matters, turning over to continue pretending to sleep.
"You need to help me make a call to the boss."
Liu Zheng went over and poked him.
"Annoying, you might as well ask the boss to install a dedicated line for you."
Niu Ma replied impatiently while taking out his phone.
"Are you sure? If you are sure, I’ll tell the boss."
Liu Zheng said with a mischievous smile.
"..."
Niu Ma didn’t respond.
He now had to be cautious with his words and actions; installing a dedicated line would mean he’d have to think carefully even about farting.
"Boss, Liu Zheng says he has work to report to you."
After the call connected, Niu Ma said respectfully.
"Okay, I’ll pass the phone to him."
He handed the phone to Liu Zheng.
"Good afternoon, boss."
Liu Zheng said politely.
"It’s alright. Speak up if you have something."
Si Xue’s tone sounded less than cheerful.
"Boss, I have acquired an extraordinary item that might have a chance to revive someone. I want to try it with the Heavenly Martial King, and if successful, we can retrieve the Three Five Evil Slayer Hero Sword."
Liu Zheng said.
"Then go ahead."
"Regarding the timing..."
Liu Zheng started to say.
"You have six hours of outing time; use the kitchen passage to exit."
Si Xue finished and hung up.
"Sigh~"
Liu Zheng sighed and returned the phone to Niu Ma.
Six hours out is quite generous, but not snagging a delivery order is a bit troublesome.
Without the Legendary Armor’s support, his combat effectiveness, especially the upper limit of his combat power, would be greatly diminished.
After all, the premise of fighting hard is to break the defenses, and real damage is his assurance for breaking anyone’s defense.
"I can only clear those errands first."
Liu Zheng thought to himself.
"Boss, I’m heading out."
He checked the time, then greeted and left the break room.
"If you see any new vegetables or fruits outside, bring some back."
In the kitchen, the White Feather Chicken seemed to have been notified and said to him while stir-frying.
The Bloody Restaurant’s meat supply channels are the most comprehensive; they can source both legal and illegal meat.
It’s the vegetables and fruits that aren’t as complete, as there are often new varieties launching.
"Sure, Chef Boss."
Liu Zheng agreed.
"Forget it, your taste is lacking. Salmon, go with him."
The White Feather Chicken glanced at him disdainfully, then addressed the San Huamao.
It couldn’t frequently send subordinates out but since Liu Zheng was already out, hitching a ride was no issue.
"Okay, meow~"
San Huamao slapped the fish dead in the sink, washed its paws diligently, then skillfully climbed onto Liu Zheng’s shoulder.
"Boss, any specific requests, meow?"
It asked.
"No specific demands; the more the better. By the way, preferably bitter ones, the bitterer the better."
The White Feather Chicken thought and said.
"Are you really planning to make the Eight Bitter Hell Stew?"
Liu Zheng guessed its thoughts.
"Can’t I?"
White Feather Chicken questioned back.
"You can, but isn’t the Eight Bitter not just about taste bitterness?"
He scratched his head.
"I think it is. Or do you have a better idea?"
White Feather Chicken stared at him.
"No, your idea is excellent; I strongly support it with all my limbs raised. Heading out now."
Detecting something amiss, Liu Zheng quickly complimented then left the kitchen with San Huamao.
Exiting the restaurant, he called the Black Skull.
"Nigga, did you get the odor-sucking equipment?"
He asked directly.
"Got it, was going to call you. Where are you? I’ll bring it over now."
Black Skull said.
"Just head to the clinic directly."
Liu Zheng said.
Might as well check on Ma Baoli and Ma Fuguo.
Especially the latter; after what happened to his daughter, he had to offer some comforting words.
Revving the engine to the clinic, Black Skull hadn’t arrived yet, so he met Ma Fuguo first.
"Elder Ma, this matter is my responsibility."
Upon meeting, he first acknowledged the exploitation incident involving Ma Baoli.
"No, no, it was my daughter’s own haste, unrelated to Young Hero Liu."
Ma Fuguo, seeing Liu Zheng’s decent attitude, proactively exonerated him.
"Elder Ma’s magnanimity truly makes this junior feel ashamed. Rest assured, no matter the cost, I will restore Young Master Ma to her original state."
Liu Zheng assured.
"I’ll leave it to you, Young Hero Liu."
Ma Fuguo said seriously.
Actually, Doctor Nile had explained the situation, so he wasn’t as worried now.
Of course, getting Liu Zheng’s assurance still made him feel more at ease.
"By the way, does the martial arts school need someone to watch over?"
Liu Zheng asked.
"If convenient, please send someone to check for me."
Ma Fuguo thought for a moment and said.
The martial arts school still housed valuables like secret martial arts manuals and family heirlooms; although hidden, having someone oversee them was better.
"Okay, I’ll send someone immediately."
Liu Zheng immediately called Niu Daji.
"Da Ji, where are you guys?"
He asked.
"Shopping, boss. We’re already heading back."
Niu Daji replied.
"Let Ah Bao go to the Primordial Tai Chi Sect for a watch duty, and bring Xia Kaiqian back."
