I'm the King of Wage Earners in Lobotomy City

"Because you change jobs too frequently, some people think you are a hired mercenary, helping the firm improve its credit score."

"You may not have noticed because you've been busy with your own projects, but even other branches and headquarters have heard about a finisher who reached level five in a week. Wen Duo, you're much more famous than you think."

After slamming down the teacup, El Salvador immediately stood up and left with Du Jue.

Jinzuo Commercial Center.

The two skyscrapers stand like guardian deities on either side of the street entrance, attracting the attention of all who come to take photos.

Du Jue looked up at the torii gate he had just passed through with a strange expression, and looked down to see a row of streetlights with fluttering carp streamers hanging from them. The bright neon lights made it impossible to focus his gaze.

"Hey, why are you taking so long? We need to reach an agreement with our client today."

Yuna, holding a cup of coffee, called out from afar.

El Salvador immediately raised his hand to indicate that he had heard, and turned to smile at Du Jue.

"Wen Duo, don't misunderstand. Yuna has been negotiating this request for half a month. It's not like she suddenly got a difficult request and pulled you in."

"It doesn't matter. Accepting the commission and completing it is what the person who finishes the job is supposed to do."

"You sound reliable."

The two immediately made their way through the crowd to the ham shop. Next to Yuna stood a shy young man wearing glasses.

“Philip, this is the rising star of the finishing touches that Yuna mentioned. Let’s get to know him.”

"Hello, I smell so good. I'm Philip."

Du Jue clearly sensed that as soon as he approached, Philip would instinctively lower his head to avoid eye contact, like a kitten whose territory had been invaded.

After seeing Salvador and Yuna exchange a helpless glance, Du Jue realized that they had invited him because they wanted to bring about some positive changes for Philip, but this guy's aura was too weak for a fifth-tier finisher, probably similar to Finn.

"Then I should call you senior, Philip. I became a fifth-tier finisher much later than you."

Yuna was immediately amused, finished her coffee, and threw it in the trash can.

Just as Philip was about to speak, Du Jue casually put his arm around his shoulder. He wanted to refuse but was too embarrassed to speak, so he looked up for help at Yuna, who was still trying not to laugh.

"Haha, what do you think of calling him Master Fa?"

El Salvador simply smiled and remained silent.

"That's enough joking around, Yuna. Take us to see the client, and explain the details of the commission to Wendo while you're at it."

"Me, tell him? Let the seniors who are not allowed to do this tell him."

"Um, I just joined the agency, so let Yuna-senpai talk."

The four of them went up the elevator in the huge shopping mall.

Avoid taking the opportunity to harass Philip, as it's much easier to win his favor than El Salvador, who is an old man who participated in the Smog War.

"Senior Feifei, Yuna told me that your Shuanghe tea-making skills are quite good."

"Hmm, if you want to try it, I can make it for you when we get back to the office."

When this topic came up, Philip became confident, while Yuna, standing next to him, covered her face and sighed.

“I really don’t understand. Did the master hire a tea maker? Philip, you’re the one who finishes things up.”

“I understand, Yuna-senpai.”

"And don't you want to object at all to Wen Duo calling you Senior Fei Fei? The person closing things out needs to be a little more assertive, otherwise the client won't be on your side when negotiating the contract."

"I will try to be more careful in the future."

The sixth floor of the shopping mall.

A waiter was already waiting by the elevator and led everyone to swipe their cards and enter the management office, where they were greeted by a tall woman dressed in red.

Her red high heels and red nail polish, coupled with her dignified oval face, made her seem unapproachable.

"Oh, it's Dawn Agency, right? Please have a seat. I'm Songmi, the CEO of Sakura Alliance."

Songmi glanced at the crowd and quickly focused his attention on El Salvador.

“Mr. Salvador, the normal business activities of the Sakura Alliance are being severely disrupted, so I will keep it brief.”

"This time, I'm tasking you with eradicating all Black Cloud Society strongholds within the Sakura Alliance, eliminating their patrol teams, and bringing back all the protection money they've illegally collected."

“They have a fitness center within the joint venture and recently wanted to extend their reach to us. I hope your firm’s capabilities are commensurate with the money I’m paying.”

The fans' attention then swirled between Philip and Du Jue.

"Excuse my bluntness, Mr. Salvador, but the Black Cloud Society is not a gang made up of rats. You'd better bring experienced colleagues, not newcomers."

"If the commission encounters problems because of you, then I will reduce the remuneration according to the contract."

Philip was immediately intimidated by Song Mi's imposing manner and lowered his head. Du Jue, who was wearing an eye veil, pretended to be blind and did not see anything. He then crossed his legs with a straight face and spoke leisurely.

“Ms. Songmi, do you intend to test our firm on behalf of the Six Associations? If you don’t understand the value of a directly affiliated firm, you can find an experienced colleague to receive us.”

Hearing these calm yet pointed words, Philip looked up with some concern and found that his master and Yuna were both smiling and silent.

Songmi glanced at Du Jue in surprise but did not continue to refute. Instead, he handed over a document from the Kendo Gym.

“Our stores within the Sakura franchise will provide new customers with Sakura cards, which can record customers’ spending history and travel routes in detail, provide points discounts, and also use this to customize personalized product recommendations for each customer.”

"We even send greetings to our clients on various special holidays."

"Therefore, these four Sakura cards all have normal spending records and will not arouse suspicion from the gym. You can take them and leave."

Hey!

What big data perspective?

After grabbing the cherry blossom card, the four of them said goodbye and left.

"Oh, this card actually has some money on it. Songmi is quite good at handling things."

Yuna happily read the cherry blossom card through her communicator, clearly intending to go shopping.

Bang!

"Hey, what are you waiting for? You still owe us money, and you still have the nerve to ask us for it!"

The transparent glass prevents everyone from seeing the farce inside the conveyor belt sushi restaurant.

Several men dressed in all black rudely blocked all the sushi on the conveyor belt and put it on their own table. They sat down at the table with smiles, took a bite of the sushi, and then casually threw it on the ground.

The owner and the staff behind the counter stared grimly at the troublemaker who had scared away all the customers.

"It's Black Cloud Tattoo. Master, should we go stop them now?"

As soon as Philip opened his mouth, he felt a breeze rising from beside him as Du Jue quickly stepped forward. He hesitated for a moment before following, but then looked at El Salvador for his opinion.

“Go with Wen Duo. The Black Cloud Society has already driven many merchants to their deaths. The commission says they can be executed on the spot.”

Chapter 118 Branded Armor.

"Violence for violence, and we mean what we say! This is the Black Cloud Society's way of doing things. Since we said we would protect you, you must pay your protection fee!"

The chefs behind the counter all grabbed their knives warily, and the owner even restrained himself from putting his chef's hat on the cutting board.

“This is Sakura’s territory. If you want to extort money, go find them. I’m just a merchant who’s set up shop here.”

The man with a buzz cut and black cloud tattoos on his arms raised his eyebrows, threw the brains in his hand on the ground, and threatened him fiercely.

"You're asking for it! The Black Cloud Society came here specifically to protect you weaklings in order to fight against evil like the Sakura Alliance, and you didn't even offer any support. You're utterly despicable!"

The man with the buzz cut turned to grab the katana he was leaning against the chair, but when he looked up, he saw a strange man who was completely covered up by bandages and an eye veil striding towards him.

This strange outfit had a somewhat ascetic style, but the man with the buzz cut immediately realized that someone was trying to step forward and reprimand him.

Who the hell are you?!

Boom!

Du Jue suddenly kicked him, and the crew-cut man immediately curled up like a shrimp and fell to the ground coughing up blood. He struggled to get up, but before he could catch his breath, he plunged headfirst into the lid of the sushi plate.

"Big brother!"

Swish!

The other two members of the Black Cloud Society attacked Du Jue as soon as he arrived, completely disregarding their reputation and that of the Black Cloud Society. They drew their swords without hesitation and began to slash. The flashing blades from both sides made Philip, who had just entered from behind, worry and call out a warning.

"Be careful, Wen Duo!"

clang!

The massive spiral spear cut through the air with a heavy whistling sound, and the fragile and light katana was instantly knocked out of the hand and flew sideways. The Black Cloud Gang member clutched his wrist in disbelief and pain, clearly having greatly underestimated the weight of the enemy's weapon.

"What are you waiting for? Philip, go get him!"

Du Jue didn't continue swinging the spear, after all, it would be hard to explain away the fact that he had smashed the heads of these two guys in someone else's shop, and he was a person with a lot of authority on this matter.

Philip rushed forward and drew his longsword, which was branded with a red mark, and quickly dispatched the two unarmed men.

"Decisive yet measured, Wen Duo, you are indeed as reliable as you say."

Salvador immediately praised it, while Yuna took advantage of the moment when the counter owner thanked Du Jue and Philip to sneak some sushi from the table.

After some effort inside the store, Du Jue finally managed to wipe the bloodstains off the jacket.

"The interrogation revealed that they patrol the area to collect money as much as possible, and smash shops and chop off fingers of those who don't pay. Then they report to their superiors on the street. We should be able to run into them if we go now."

The crowd immediately handed the scene over to the fans and made their way through the throng.

"Thank you so much for your help, Senior Feifei. Cleaning this weapon is such a hassle."

"It's nothing, it's the same even without me."

"That's different. With Senior Feifei watching over me, I'll definitely put in my best effort. Don't you approve of me even more now?"

"Indeed, I didn't expect you to be so amazing, Wen Duo. Maybe you shouldn't call me senior anymore."

"If you feel bad about it, you can give me money. Just consider it payment for me to call you senior. I'll give you 1 eyes since you're a senior."

Faced with Du Jue's outstretched hand, Philip hesitated for a moment before taking out his wallet and counting out 1 coins. Yuna, carrying her violin case, bumped Du Jue's shoulder behind her.

"Hey kid, you just came in and you're already trying to scam money. This 1 yuan is just enough to buy us a plate of stir-fried rice cakes. Don't put it in your pocket and then you won't be able to get it out."

Philip responded immediately upon hearing this.

"If Yuna-senpai is hungry, I'll treat you later."

"What are you doing, Philip? I'm trying to get your money back. Why are you acting like a rich fool? Don't let Wendo swindle you out of your commission fee."

Whether it was due to Kaji's influence or not, Du Jue found herself gradually gaining a slight ability to sense other people's emotions, and at this moment she was able to perceive Philip's feelings for Yuna.

The young male chef was quite tactful in asking people out.

Wait, it seems he's like that in the city too, then it's alright.

"Fools! How could you let those thieves show up on Black Cloud Society territory? We've been paid protection money!"

"Hurry up and send two men to recruit those guys. Cut off their fingers as compensation and send them to the shop. You guys need to think more about how to repay the protection money they paid. They've been in the gang for so long, and I, the leader, still have to waste my breath!"

"Yes!"

The woman in the black coat crossed her arms and reprimanded her two subordinates, while the rest of the Black Cloud Society members bowed respectfully, and pedestrians cautiously kept their distance.

The Black Cloud Society members dressed in a very unrestrained manner. The woman had her head exposed and her snow-white chest tattooed with a distinctive black cloud pattern. However, her harsh and domineering voice made the others not dare to even glance at her.

She suddenly turned to look at Du Jue and his group.

"Hey! Don't you guys have eyes? Anyone who offends me will get a slap!"

This time, Philip didn't ask El Salvador, but looked at Du Jue. Sure enough, Du Jue had already strode forward, and white armor bulged out from under the loosened bandages. In the blink of an eye, he was already wearing armor.

Salvador's voice came from behind, which made Philippe determined to follow.

"I'll keep watch for you guys and deal with these people."

Faced with the sudden appearance of several troublemakers, the female leader merely glanced coldly at the surrounding merchants, grabbed the large katana she was carrying, and dragged it on the ground.

“What a bunch of ignorant and wicked people! Cut off their right arms! This is a mercy that the Black Cloud Society deliberately set aside.”

The nine team members immediately drew their knives and rushed forward to kill Du Jue.

I'm the king of wage earners. I came to the city to be an emperor. I'm the one who gets slapped by others. How dare someone insult the emperor?!

This man has a way to die!
