I'm the King of Wage Earners in Lobotomy City

"It's nothing, just a minor disagreement. I'll go to the warehouse to see what the target we need to retrieve looks like."

He kicked away the white, shards of skull stuck to his head and headed toward the warehouse. He quickly found a fully enclosed green metal can with the help of the guide.

Du Jue put the headset on the jar, and Sanchao's excited voice immediately came through: "That's right, this is it! According to the storage information on it, the brewery has made about thirty-seven different types of attempts to crack it. I think the brewery has not yet cracked the sealing device, and is afraid of damaging the products inside, so it has been kept intact."

"Sanchao, do you think that tax collector Eveno still has any goals?"

"I don't know. Let me put it this way: we only have a list of illegal buyers, but we don't know the exact number. Of course, the more we recover, the better."

Chapter 156 The Wedding.

It was too cold outside, freezing the sound of people.

Dragging his suitcase, Du Jue stepped across the slippery pavement, feeling no liking for this place whatsoever. The gloomy, frosty, thick buildings on both sides were practically like iron coffins, giving him the illusion that he was being welcomed by a line of coffins.

Avoid casually leaving your suitcase near the entrance of a fast food restaurant, only to find a sign hanging on the iron gate just as you're about to go in.

[Business will be temporarily suspended during tax collection month]

What kind of trivial tax is this?! We can't even afford to eat!

Turning my head, I saw a man and a woman cleaning up the old roadblocks at the intersection. They seemed to be thieves who had escaped from the winery earlier.

"These are probably the two roadblocks that little Ivan likes to play with the most, and this white plastic bag. We don't have any souvenirs to take, so let's just use this as a memento."

"Yes, before joining Saint Fool, she always liked to hold weddings for these two roadblocks. She probably remembered the candy given at the last tax collector's wedding, otherwise she wouldn't have used the candy bag as a wedding dress."

"This fool always talks about changing the situation of us poor people, but I don't think that Sonia did anything at all. He actually let his gang members eat garbage and die from choking. I wish I was a member of the middle finger group, but unfortunately I don't have that opportunity."

The two men, carrying the roadblock and the small plastic bag, were pleasantly surprised when they saw the exquisite suitcase, but were shocked to find Du Jue behind them and even retreated in fear.

"You...you're not dead?! We really don't have the money to compensate us!"

Before Du Jue could explain, they hurriedly fled together, even dropping what they were carrying. However, their slow movements were almost instantly exploited by Du Jue.

"Why are you running away? I'm not here to ask you for money, I'm here to ask Eveno for something."

These words made him even more uneasy, and he immediately thought of a big shot from the Wings of the Nest. But when he looked down, he found six large banknotes being handed to him. Confused, he looked up at Du Jue and asked, "Sir, what is this?"

"Since we're already here, let's give little Ivan a gift of money."

After checking the location of the Eveno Manor sent by Sanchao on his communicator, Du impatiently stuffed the money into the arms of the two bewildered men.

“But we don’t have a rule about giving money, and it’s a funeral for little Ivan’s family. We don’t even know where the body will end up.”

Even though the windfall thrilled them, they remained fearful of Dujue's identity, as if anything concerning the tax collector Eveno was of paramount importance.

Du Jue, clutching his suitcase again, turned away helplessly and replied, "What? Did someone in your family die too, and you want a share?"

The two were speechless, but then they saw Du Jue hesitate for a moment and turn back after walking a short distance.

"grown ups?"

"I need to explain to you that I only gave you a small reward because I thought Ivan's name sounded nice. It's impossible for you to kill him and come to me to collect the bounty."

Du Jue left satisfied only after seeing the two people's dumbfounded expressions.

After Du Jue disappeared, the woman muttered to herself in confusion, "Who would do something so crazy? This guy doesn't seem like a normal person. Let's hurry up and leave!"

"That's right!"

manor.

The magnificent facade is built like a small castle. The doors to the reception room are wide open, and Du Jue can feel the hot air as soon as he approaches. Putting everything else aside, the heating is really strong.

Even while still standing outside the door, Du Jue could see two people standing by the window in the reception room. The old woman with earrings and beautiful manicured nails was none other than Eve. He had to find this woman and ask her about the target's hiding place.

"Of course, of course, I am a tax collector and I certainly have money and food, but poor Luo Jia, how dare you so self-righteously ask me for alms?"

“I’ve seen far too many insects like you. You can leave now.”

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, the blonde woman opposite Eveno swung her large axe without hesitation.

"Wait! Let me use these people first!"

Du Jue hurriedly raised his hand to try to stop Luo Jia, but the giant axe fell even faster.

Click!

Shot right in the back of the head, Eveno, who had been dressed in high-end clothes and looked composed, was now leaning against the wall with her head hanging down, and a radiating bloodstain appeared on the wallpaper by the window.

Can you understand human speech?

Gurgling.

The faint sound of the suitcase wheels turning became the only sound in the huge living room.

"Huh? I thought we could go eat some fancy steak after we finished chopping up this old geezer, but this unexpected guy has shown up."

The voice was as steady as before, but Du Jue could clearly see that Luo Jia's hand, which was pulling out the giant axe, trembled slightly. He was unsure whether the other party was excited, fearful, or experiencing some other emotion.

Luo Jia brushed aside her blood-stained hair, revealing wavy blonde hair that reached her calves, the color of a sunflower looking directly at the sun.

thump.

He placed his suitcase on the coffee table, then sat down on the sofa with a relaxed air before asking the wary Luo Jia, "Do you know the secret locations where Eveno hides its valuables?"

"Who hasn't worked for Eveno to pay off her debts? Her territory is only so big, a quick search will reveal everything. But you don't seem like you're just here to get a piece of the pie."

Realizing that Du Jue wasn't even looking at Eve's body, Luo Jia felt a little relieved. He raised his axe and broke the glass, then loudly told everyone outside to come in and get their food.

Almost instantly, three figures rushed in and frantically ransacked the kitchen. The first-floor kitchen was quickly filled with people, and the sounds of greedy and satisfied chewing rose and fell, making Du Jue hungry.

boom!

The crusher instantly smashed a large hole in the ground, and most of the living room floor was pulverized into dust. The terrifying destructive power drove the hungry crowd to look at Du Jue, who reached out and grabbed the crusher, driven by their survival instinct.

"Everyone, if you don't want to all die, help me find this thing, and I will reward you handsomely."

A holographic projection was projected from the headset in the palm of the hand onto the ceiling.

The billiard room is on the second floor.

Luo Jia, knife and fork in hand, devoured the steaming hot, premium steak on the pool table. After finishing most of it, he casually picked up an unopened deck of cards from the neighboring table.

"I see. They're just there to clean up the mess for Eve Kwano. I understand. They're just doing their jobs for money."

Snapped.

The card box was thrown next to the discarded plate.

"I thought it was another lackey of Eveno or a big shot in the hive, but were you serious about what you just said?"

Du Jue pushed aside the plates and card box with satisfaction, thinking that these rich people were indeed eating very elegantly, completely crushing the street sandwiches, and felt that she would never be able to eat that kind of cheap food again.

"Of course it's true. I don't like people who break their promises."

At this moment, Du Jue recalled that Luo Jia, who possessed superhuman strength, had smashed the tax collector's head with an axe to stand up for his neighbors who had been starving for several days, but this matter was not over.

Or rather, the absurd things that happen in the city are one after another.

Eveno has the middle finger backing her up, and just from the fact that both the ring finger and the thumb are associated with her, you can tell that this is another powerful and crazy gang.

“Luo Jia, this unexpected visitor who's cleaning up the mess is right. You might end up killing everyone here.”

An uninvited man with short white hair opened the door to the billiard room with a faint smile.

"Sonia, are you here to offer hindsight advice? Just like your Holy Fool, all you do is talk and nothing else?!"

Chapter 157 Middle Finger.

Sonia opened her palm and patiently explained the meaning to Luo Jia.

"The middle finger, one of the most famous fingers, is associated with gangs that place great importance on family ties and will not let go of anyone who harms their family members or infringes on their family's interests."

At this point, Sonia paused for a moment and looked at the bloodstained giant axe next to the pool table.

"Unfortunately, Eveno's brother is a member of the middle finger group, and he will find out and arrive by tonight at the latest."

Even before they had met, Luo Jia still gripped the handle of the giant axe uneasily, and retorted somewhat defiantly, "Maybe I can handle this?"

Du Jue yawned and stood up. The manor was so warm that he didn't want to go out. As soon as he spoke, he immediately attracted the attention of the two people.

“The gang leaders of Middle Finger all carry a 'retribution ledger,' which records anyone who infringes on their interests or harms their family members as a personal grudge. Middle Finger will relentlessly retaliate against enemies with a personal grudge record until it is completely settled.”

"You mean you can take down the Northern Middle Finger all by yourself? You're pretty big, and you're quite arrogant."

Du Jue looked at the confident Luo Jia with great surprise, and understood why there were so many arrogant thugs in the back alley. Perhaps they just hadn't seen it before.

Luo Jia visibly wavered upon hearing this, but still pretended to be indifferent and said, "Anyway, this is my own business. But you, aren't you afraid of retaliation for trying to take Eveno's property without permission?"

"This isn't just your problem; the entire tax-owning zone will probably be wiped out."

The crusher is gently placed on the pool table, and then crushed instantly with a single release. "Your only chance of survival is to quickly find a target and deliver it to me. Maybe I'll be in a good mood and protect you."

Sonia, still smiling by the door, immediately took over the conversation: "This is the reason for Saint Fool's dormancy. Making a rash change will only mess things up, but I can still send you out, only you can never come back here again."

Despite the chaotic sounds of eating outside the pool hall, Luo Jia gritted her teeth and said, "I can't just watch them starve to death without doing anything. Do you know what it means to be an action-taker?!"

"And you too."

Luo Jia frowned and stared at Du Jue. "If I can't handle the middle finger, do you think you can?!"

She immediately crouched down to grab the person who had crushed the table, and retorted without admitting defeat, "Don't treat me like some little kid who can only swing an axe. Do you even know what it means to be exceptionally talented? My strength is proof that I far surpass ordinary people!"

"Well!"

Luo Jia, who staggered a few steps after letting go, stared suspiciously at the trembling crusher on the ground. She had a surreal feeling; she had clearly seen Du Jue swing it with ease just now, how could it be this heavy?!

"What is this thing?! You're going to use it to fight?!"

Du Jue glanced at Luo Jia with a look of utter disbelief, then picked him up with one hand. This casual gesture made Sonia behind him change color slightly, and she immediately realized that this was a specially made workshop weapon.

"I sincerely hope that you two understand my strength, instead of me picking a few troublemakers and turning them into mincemeat. Now bring me the target I want."

Luo Jia, recovering from his shock, immediately wanted to agree, since the payment was free. However, Sonia refused.

"No, it's not the right time for Saint Fool to act yet. We can't stay here searching for items, or we'll be labeled as enemies by the middle finger when he arrives."

Sonia smiled at Luo Jia without any hesitation, "The only thing I can do is help you get away from here, for a better future."

"It's the same thing again! They do absolutely nothing!"

Luo Jia clenched his fist and suddenly grabbed the giant axe.

Before she could retort, another loud roar assaulted her fragile eardrums. The sturdy, thick wall of the second floor of the manor was then smashed apart by the saw teeth, and the biting cold wind rushed into the gap, waking all three of them up.

They stared blankly at the residents looking over the gap in horror, many of whom were holding frozen fruits and vegetables and eating them. Some even dragged out furniture to burn as bonfires to heat themselves and their frozen meat.

"Sometimes talking to you guys is really troublesome. I'll kill as many middle fingers as you give me. You guys don't even need an hour of my time. To put it more modestly, you're like fleas with broken legs."

"When you see me, or when I see you, you are destined to have only two choices—go find the goal to bring me, or die."

Only then did Sonia's smile completely vanish, and she looked at Du Jue with a serious expression.

"Absolutely, absolutely!"

"You bunch of damned bastards, how dare you hurt my sister! Do you know how often she sent me pocket money and delicious food, and her vodka was absolutely amazing? But you've ruined everything!"

The middle-aged man in the purple shirt covered his face with his hands, looking very agitated. The five people behind him were used to this and did not try to persuade him but instead blocked the road entrances and exits.

Suddenly, the middle-aged man looked up and saw Du Jue waving and urging him on from the gap in the manor. He immediately roared, "Kill everyone here! Avenge my beloved sister!"

The others immediately became eager to try, their arms, wrapped in thick gold chains, revealing vengeful tattoos.

Everyone was terrified upon discovering the middle finger's arrival, and many people's legs went weak and they lost all courage.

Du Jue glanced back at Luo Jia and Sonia, who were searching inside the manor, before leaping through the gap to the five men who were about to approach.

"That's rare. Someone dares to stop us in this poor place? You wouldn't happen to be some unlucky guy they hired to clean up the mess..."

Before he could finish speaking, the powerful crusher and spiral gun instantly attacked, and Du Jue, who had activated the gladiator exoskeleton and blood pump, wiped out the five people in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Bang! !

Everyone stared blankly at the large red open space in front of Du Jue, which was tinged with a bone-white color.

"My brothers and sisters!"

The middle-aged man with bloodshot eyes pulled out his communicator and pressed a button in grief and anger. He then launched a fierce attack almost recklessly, which finally made Du Jue feel some pressure. Unfortunately, his boiling anger would turn into an advantage for Du Jue.
