Chapter 243: Chapter 243: Delaying Time
Liu Zheng was talking to him while carefully observing the basic situation inside the alley, looking for anything nearby that might come in handy.
Because he knew that he might not be able to delay for much longer.
This was just a temporary measure after all.
No matter what, he needed to stay a bit calmer.
So he wouldn’t encounter any problems later on.
"I’m warning you, if you keep talking like that, I’m going to beat you up even worse later!"
Liu Zheng’s eyes were shifting as he spoke.
"If you manage to beat me badly with your own ability, I’ll definitely apologize and admit defeat, but if you rely on external forces, no matter what, I won’t accept it. Since you want to treat me this way, next time, I definitely won’t let you off either."
Before the person in front of him could react, he spoke again.
"Not only that, if you don’t kill me this time, don’t forget that I’m a doctor. It would be easy for me to get close to you and poison you without you noticing."
"Since you won’t let me off this time, no matter what, I won’t let you off next time, but I don’t think you have the guts to kill me outright."
As Liu Zheng was looking around, he noticed there seemed to be a broom nearby.
It looked very tattered indeed, probably discarded by someone.
Although such an object might not inflict much harm, having any tool at all was very fortunate, so he thought to himself that if a fight did break out, he would immediately grab it, which was far better than being unarmed.
The person in front of him was indeed enraged.
There was a fierce look of anger in his eyes.
"I can’t believe you’re still talking tough at death’s door. Since that’s the case, it seems this time I won’t be satisfied until I’ve beaten you into submission."
"Great, I’m quite curious to see your strength."
Liu Zheng appeared unconcerned.
Moreover, his demeanor was calm and serene, as if none of this was a big deal for him.
The person in front of him felt anxious, especially with the lessons of the past in mind; he couldn’t understand how Liu Zheng could remain so calm.
Now, since his own group was larger and seemed confident in beating Liu Zheng effortlessly,
Yet Liu Zheng showed no sign of fear, appearing incredibly composed.
This truly surprised the man in front of him.
Did Liu Zheng have another trick up his sleeve?
If that was the case, then he really should be a bit more cautious, lest he become the target himself.
Or end up worse off than when he started.
At that moment, he was observing Liu Zheng seriously, hoping to detect even a hint of fear or worry on his face.
But after looking for a long time, he found no such fear.
Who exactly was Liu Zheng?
Now, even with so many people surrounding him, he still maintained a very indifferent attitude.
At this moment,
He couldn’t help but turn to the few brothers beside him and asked,
"We have so many people here, why isn’t he afraid? Could it be that he has some other skill? Does he look like someone with connections in the underworld to you?"
And those underlings also truly felt there was something different about Liu Zheng.
On ordinary days, when they were hired to deal with someone, that person might have already been scared pissless, probably already begging on their knees.
But this time, when Huang Haoxiang hired them to come over and teach Liu Zheng a lesson, they found that the person in front of them appeared so serene.
Looking at him that way, it seemed like he wasn’t scared at all.
Plus, Huang Haoxiang had indeed told them before why he was punishing Liu Zheng.
They also knew about the last incident.
So they found it all the more unbelievable, how could such a bad guy remain so calm?
Now, hearing Huang Haoxiang ask them this question, they too somewhat helplessly shook their heads.
"We can’t tell, but we’ve taken on so many cases before, and this is the first time we’ve seen something like this, can’t believe he isn’t afraid at all."
When one of them said this, the others around him nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, normally in these situations, people would be scared pissless, kneeling and apologizing by now, it’s never happened like this before."
And when Huang Haoxiang heard this, he indeed felt even more frightened.
What kind of person was Liu Zheng, that he could still be so indifferent until now?
At that moment, Huang Haoxiang couldn’t help but feel puzzled and was indeed a bit worried.
...
Meanwhile, Liu Zheng saw that these people were muttering among themselves and was indeed curious.
He wondered what they meant, could it be that his appearance of calmness had scared them?
But he was indeed feeling nervous.
He just hadn’t shown it.
At first, Huang Haoxiang was somewhat scared of the possibility that Liu Zheng was very tough, which is why he seemed unafraid now.
But then he thought carefully, even if Liu Zheng was that tough, he couldn’t possibly withstand so many people, since he had summoned so many of them.
Even if Liu Zheng had the power of a divine being, it was impossible to pull off.
And just a moment ago, it was obvious that he was trying reverse psychology, trying to get him to go out.
To have him fight one-on-one?
But Huang Haoxiang was no fool, how could he fall for that trick?
So very quickly, he reasoned out that with so many of his own people, there was no need to be afraid of whatever abilities Liu Zheng might have.
Soon after, he immediately spoke up.
"Stop pretending there, I know you look calm on the surface, but you’re probably already wetting yourself."
After Huang Haoxiang said this, the people beside him couldn’t help but laugh.
Then they chimed in with a few sarcastic remarks.
"Yeah, he probably scared the piss out of him already."
"Oh man, I’m going to die laughing, we’ve got to check his pants carefully after we beat him to see if they’re wet."
"Do you think we should prepare a diaper for him in advance?"
Although these few people made such mocking comments,
Liu Zheng still had no reaction.
He just quietly watched them, not showing any signs of fear.
