I'm the King of Wage Earners in Lobotomy City

Page 24

"Hey, isn't this ring pretty?"

"It fits the temperament of Boss Jingmei very well; it must hurt a lot when he hits someone."

"well said!"

Jingmei jumped onto the table roughly, completely disregarding the fact that this was the third wooden table that had been replaced this month.

The sound of footsteps, like drumbeats, disrupted Du Jue's heartbeat. He sighed inwardly, thinking that Jingmei really did have a bit of ADHD.

"Those idiots think I'm a sissy showing off because I wear so much jewelry, but with this ring on, I can punch their throats off!"

“These aren’t luxury items displayed in glass cases; they’re all handmade products.”

"I've broken the necks of many idiots who can't see the situation. The Axe Gang is next. They actually dared to cooperate with Vacuum Fist!"

"The thumb has given the order. Originally, it was just to teach them a lesson, but now it seems we have to wipe them out."

After saying that, Jingmei squatted down and looked at Du Jue, who was leaning back slightly.

“You did a great job. Now come with me.”

Jingmei got up from the desk and strode out of the office.

Du Jue looked at Zulu, who remained in place, wanting to ask what he was doing, but Zulu shrugged first.

"Let's go."

Sometimes it's really hard to understand what emotional people like Jingmei are thinking when they suddenly stop doing things without a clear reason. You can only follow along.

The six-story dormitory areas on both sides were now bustling with activity. Everyone was on the middle track at Jingmei's command, and Du Jue estimated that there were only about thirty people.

"Are you all just ignoring what I said?!"

As soon as Jingmei saw Du Jue come out, she started cursing at the crowd, and then pulled Du Jue away.

“I’ve heard that some people are very dissatisfied with him, Zulu, tell them.”

Zulu touched his bald head and briefly explained his plan to stop selling goods in District 23 and to ambush the Axe Gang tomorrow.

Upon hearing that they were going to take down other gangs, seize territory, and plunder their belongings, the people below immediately erupted in excitement.

What's faster for gang members to rise to power and make a fortune than through infighting? Nothing!

Even Dino, the cadre who had previously spoken rudely to Du Jue, looked at Du Jue with a strange expression. Had this guy accomplished so much in just a few days?

I never expected there would be a cunning thug in the gang.

"In short, he is not only capable, but also loyal enough. Now, Du Jue is just a stray dog ​​among the new cadres!"

"You all need to inform your subordinates and the small gangs that after we finish this job tomorrow, we'll raid the Axe Gang's territory. When the gang expands, anyone with the ability can become a team leader."

Although Jingmei used foul language, she always kept her word, which immediately excited everyone.

"What are you all yelling about? You're ignoring me again. Get your class etiquette back!"

The crowd immediately quieted down, and Du Jue felt as if everyone was staring at her with eager eyes.

Congratulations on your promotion from "Homeless Dog"!

[Obtained work item: Death Tattoo]

[Description: You can only control half of the birth and death of life.]

[Effect 1: Whenever someone dies near you, immediately extract and store their death energy.]

[Effect 2: You can enter a state of death aura. In this state, your body will be equivalent to a corpse. The death aura will inflict death pain on all targets, and you can use the death aura to repair your corpse.]

really!

The more powerful the organization, the more powerful the tools you can use to earn money. Suppress your elation and just feel that it's all worth it.

This has two effects, and this deathly aura looks incredibly powerful.

Does that mean he can stay in this state indefinitely as long as someone dies next to him?

What perpetual motion machine of death?

"Hey, what are you standing there for? Say a few words and that's enough."

Jingmei patted the stunned Du Jue.

Upon regaining his senses, Du Jue looked down and saw a corner of the character for "death" protruding from his right chest. That was the tattoo of death, and at this moment, it was still in a state of zero death energy.

"I think the city is like the starry sky. In this boundless darkness, at least there are still shining stars."

"I hope everyone can shine brightly and achieve their own City Star status."

The crowd immediately cheered in unison, showing no fear of the Axe Gang whatsoever.

Even if the stray dog ​​suffers severe damage, it is still a gang belonging to the City Star Thumb Gang, and the Axe Gang is just a bunch of nouveau riche.

Du Jue watched them hastily preparing their weapons and chuckled to himself.

Excuse me, but I'm going to be the sun that blocks out the starlight.

A night of excitement.

Dujue got up from his desk in a daze, rubbing his face before getting up.

"woke up?"

Jingmei, who was admiring her fingers covered in rings, glanced at Dujue.

"Um, Jingmei, how did I end up sleeping here?"

"You fell asleep right against the wall, I was too lazy to drag you back to your dorm, so I just left you here."

"Excuse me, boss Jingmei, isn't it a bit presumptuous of me to sleep on your desk?"

"Damn it, what are you pretending for? If you really cared about this, you'd still dare to bet with me? Let me tell you, you're the only guy here who would dare to do something like this!"

Jingmei twisted her neck, making a cracking sound.

Finally, Du Jue, who had been wide awake from sleep, didn't know how to answer.

"Let's go, you and I are going to Run's office to intimidate those idiots from the Axe Gang."

"By the way, when did you recruit those three underlings? And why are they all cyborgs?"

Du Jue felt a sudden tightness in his chest, but remained outwardly calm.

"We found them among rats. After all, prosthetics are more durable for work. Boss Jingmei, you know those guys don't even have enough to eat, let alone strength."

"Well, since he's your little brother, let's bring another car."

Seeing that Jingmei did not suspect anything, Du Jue breathed a sigh of relief.

At the factory gate, the three men were loading black boxes into the back of a truck. When they saw Du Jue appear, they immediately waved to him.

The two cars set off one after the other, heading to Run's office.

The others, led by their superiors, had already gone to the vicinity to wait for their turn.

Run Law Firm.

The usually relaxed receptionist, upon seeing two cars blocking the firm's entrance, immediately panicked and ran into the restroom.

Du Jue got out of the car and quickly opened the door for Jingmei. As he turned around, he noticed that someone on the second floor of the third building on the right was watching them.

"Boss, it really is Jingmei, that tattoo is too obvious."

"And just now all the lights in the office suddenly went out, let's rush in now!"

Oakes, sitting in the rocking chair, shook his head. At his feet were a man and a woman who died with their eyes wide open in disbelief.

After taking the apple his sister had peeled, Oakes simply told people to continue observing.

At this moment, the people in the office looked at each other in the darkness.

Du Jue was immediately thrown into a state of confusion, not understanding what the Axe Gang was up to. They had confirmed everything, yet they hadn't taken any action.

Jingmei, sitting in her office chair, fidgeted with frustration, while Run watched as the three of them took out cans of gasoline from a black box, his eyes twitching.

Considering that the Axe Gang's raid was more troublesome than simply burning down an office, Run remained silent.

Avoid getting so anxious that you break out in a sweat and your heart is pounding.

Although he has received the promotion promised by Jingmei ahead of schedule, he still dreams of becoming the leader of the stray dogs and joining the Thumb Headquarters.

If he messes up something this important, how will he ever be able to stay among the scoundrels?

The atmosphere in the room grew increasingly strange until Du Jue suddenly turned around, smashing through the glass amidst the astonished and bewildered gazes of everyone, and then fell from the second floor.

Suspended in mid-air, Du Jue gritted his teeth, pulled out the boning knife, and tried his best to stab it into the wall, creating a lot of sparks. He still fell to the ground and was completely disoriented, with large scrapes and red hands.

He didn't even have time to get up before he shouted angrily.

"Run! Run!"

Upon hearing this sound, Oakes finally dropped the apple and personally walked out of the house to look at Du Jue, who had fallen and was bleeding across the street.

His deputy immediately followed.

"very good."

"The blood and fear are all there; it's time for us to step in."

Oakes' demeanor changed abruptly. Without hesitation, he fired a shot into the air and then led his men into the office.

Leaning against the wall, panting, Du Jue cursed under his breath. This guy was indeed waiting for the firm and Jingmei to completely break off relations and start fighting. He was far too patient.

30 Deaths and Suffering

Squeak!

After Oaks stormed into the office, cars from several alleys across the street immediately pulled up to the entrance, and Axe Gang members with axes tucked into their waistbands roared as they climbed out of the car windows.

In just half a minute, four vehicles came to a stop on the road, and a large number of fully armed elites got out of their vehicles.

At the same time, all the windows of the houses were opened, and members of the Axe Gang and the Hook Killer rushed out.

Tai Ren, who was running at the front, looked at Du Jue with disdain. A long, flexible whip blade had been installed on his side.

"A mere firm wants to cooperate with the Axe Gang? It seems the person in charge of finishing things up isn't very security-conscious either."

"And where did you put my living weapon, you bastard?!"

Seeing his defeated opponent approaching, Du Jue did not respond but quickly retreated into the office.

"Hmph, do you think you can escape?"

boom! ! !

A towering flame roared out from the second floor of the office, instantly turning the small building into an urban volcano. The billowing smoke left the gathered Axe Gang members dumbfounded.

The shattered window frames spewed out scorching flames, and the terrifying heatwave, carrying large amounts of wood and stone fragments, splattered across the street, resembling a giant shotgun blast.

"Ah! My face!"

"Damn it, damn it, this is a trap, get out of here!"

"The gang leader? The gang leader?!"

As Du Jue leaned against the door frame, he immediately felt a burning sensation in his right chest. When he pulled open his clothes, the gray tattoo of death became increasingly vibrant.

Everything unfolded as he had anticipated, and he couldn't suppress his elation, but he still needed to get away from the Axe Gang's core first.

"Ughhhhhh."

An extremely hoarse voice came through, and Du Jue even mistook it for the sound of the fire itself. However, the charred figure that suddenly fell onto the street let out a terrible roar.

The severely burned body was still writhing.

Bang!

Gunshot?

Du looked up and saw that it was Oakes' sister shooting at Oakes.

This is not over yet.

Amidst the chaotic crowd, the woman with long, straight black hair calmly pulled out another vial of emerald green liquid, loaded it into her small pistol, and then, without changing her expression, aimed it at Oakes and fired.

"What are you doing?"
