1762 Eliminating Weeds

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation | Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Devore Street was located on the edge of Panem City.

Looking out, all he could see were low-rise buildings, hardly a sight of prosperity.

A few kilometers further lay the slums of Panem.

While not as chaotic as depicted in movies, it was hardly a desirable place either, with less than ideal security.

Fortunately, the area was well-equipped with necessary amenities, although occasional gunfights and robberies did occur.

For the residents here, however, such incidents were considered normal. As long as they were cautious when stepping out, there were no major problems. Cohens house was in an apartment on Devore Street.

Cohens house was not big. All in all, it was only about 60 square meters.

The furniture and furnis.h.i.+ngs in the house were already old. Clothes were strewn everywhere, and there was no place to put them.

But even so, on Devore Street, their familys conditions were considered quite good. Many people would be envious of Cohen having a proper job.

The reason for this was because the people here were indeed very poor and did not have the habit of saving money. Thus, Vagrants could be seen everywhere. On the old cloth sofa, Kohen was seated s.h.i.+rtless. He and his wife, Tanasha, were drinking beer and watching La Liga football on television.

From time to time, he would comment on the match. He looked very satisfied.

Oh, by the way, darling, theres something I forgot to tell you.

During the intermission, Tanasha said,

Two people from the emba.s.sy came today and asked about you. Is something wrong? Dont hide it from me.

These d.a.m.n people actually found this place, Cohen cursed loudly as he put down his beer.

What happened? Tell me quickly.

After gulping down a mouthful of beer, Cohen told Tanasha about what had happened a few days ago.

These Huaxians are too much. They made a mistake. Why should they investigate you?

I dont know. Maybe his injuries were too severe, Cohen said indifferently. But I have to say that the Huaxians are too weak. I only hit that persons head and then he fell to the ground.

You know this. The physical fitness of Huaxians is very poor. Theyre like a ball of bubbles that will pop with a light touch.

My dear, thats an apt description. Thats what 1 thought as well, Cohen said with a laugh.

Theyve come to Panem to do business, but theyre still disobedient. We must teach them a lesson. Do they really think theyre Meiguons and can do whatever they want here?

Will they come after you in the future?

I dont care. Their people have already come for me, but I warned them not to come looking for me in the future. If they dare to come again, I dont mind beating them up.

I think you are right. These people are so arrogant. Send them all to the hospital so they know that we are not to be trifled with.

With my fists, I can fight ten Huaxians alone. Haha

Clang! Clang! Clang!

As the two of them were talking, there was a knock on the door of the house.

Cohen said impatiently,

Who knocks so late at night? Id like to send him to G.o.d! Darling, open the door.

The second half has already begun. Im not going.

Cohen got up and said impatiently,

Disturbing me from watching the game. Im going to teach whoever it is a good lesson.

He got up and went to the door. Without thinking, Cohen opened the door. However, before he could see who it was, he felt a pain in his abdomen as he was kicked into the house!

It was Yu Siying!

Immediately after, Lin Yi and Zhang Chao entered the room and closed the door, turning it into a sealed s.p.a.ce.

Seeing the three of them enter, Cohen was shocked.

What are you doing here?!

Nothing, 1 just want to ask you who told you that theres something wrong with the goods, Lin Yi said with a dark expression.

Cohen stood up and glared at Lin Yi.

Ive told you everything I know and you still dare to look for me? I wont let the three of you leave so easily!

Cohen rushed back to the kitchen angrily and grabbed a fruit knife. He said to Lin Yi,

You came to my house without permission. This is illegal. Even if I kill you, the law wont punish me.

Darling, dont talk to these stupid Huaxians. Hurry up and teach them a lesson. I want to continue watching the game, Tanasha said.

Dont worry, I know. These Huaxians cant beat me

Before he could finish speaking, Cohens voice cut out abruptly.

Because a black gun was aimed at his head.

You, what are you doing?!

Cohen was scared silly. His expression and att.i.tude were completely different from before.

Tanasha let out a high-pitched scream of terror and ducked behind the door on her hands and knees.

Youd better not speak too loudly. The gun might go off, Zhang Chaoyue said.

The two of them stopped talking. No one dared to say anything else.

I really dont know anything. Ive already told you everything I know.

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow at Cohen.

My patience is limited. This is your last chance. You only have five seconds to think. Dont disappoint me.

With a thud, Cohen fell to his knees.

I really dont know anything. The call was from an unknown number. He said that there was something wrong with your goods. Thats why we went to check. If your people hadnt obstructed us, there wouldnt have been a conflict. Even if I obstructed you, things shouldnt have escalated so badly, right? I-I admit, when I saw they were from Huaxia, I went too far. But I know he didn t die. I can apologize to him and pay compensation.

But do you know that the person you injured is the senior vice president of our company? He has been with me since the start of the company.

Lin Yi took a deep breath and looked at Kohen calmly.

Hes a very important person to me. You should pay for what you did.

Yes, yes, yes. Im willing to compensate. We can go to the hospital now.

I have plenty of money. I dont lack whatever you have. Pay with your life. BANG!

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yue pulled the trigger. The bullet entered Cohens forehead and he died on the spot!

AH!

Tanasha let out a bloodcurdling scream. It was as if shed gone mad. She clutched her head and curled up behind the door.

Ive already told you, if you keep yelling, the gun will go off.

Zhang Chaoyues words had a deterring effect, and Tanasha trembled, not daring to utter a word.

BANG!

At that moment, another gunshot rang out.

But it wasnt Zhang Yue who fired the shot. It was Yu Siying.

You have to dig up the roots when eliminating weeds. It will be very troublesome if we leave anyone alive..
