I'm the King of Wage Earners in Lobotomy City

"You will definitely be able to find the ledger before I finish my challenge. As for the match, trust me. It's the responsibility of the juniors."

The group stopped at the dark red double doors painted with intricate cloud patterns.

Two members of the Black Cloud Society respectfully grasped the doorknob and lifted it open, trying their best not to make a sound, while the others glared at the two men, signaling them not to speak.

In the dimly lit, windowless room, only Sayo was carefully trimming a hairpin with a knife. She wore a loose kimono, revealing large areas of black cloud tattoos on her shoulders, which should have been fair and delicate.

This level of physical strength startled Du Jue; this guy's physical strength could definitely crush the previous woman!

Unlike the internal organ tattoos that eliminate various functions, the Black Cloud tattoo is purely for enhancing speed and strength, and when paired with those sharp, specialized knives, it can even pierce through his exoskeleton.

"Please come in, where did this guest come from?"

Sase didn't even raise her head. She calmly put her hair up, inserted the freshly sharpened hairpin, and then stood up.

"Vice President, someone's trying to cause trouble."

"What? You can't collect the money, so you're sending me a toy instead?"

"And why haven't Man Yao and the others come back yet? Yang, go ask them, and while you're at it, cut off their right legs."

"If this newly appointed headman tries to defend himself, you know what to do, right?"

"Heh, I'll cut off their tongues."

With a cigarette dangling from his lips, Yang swaggered out of the room with some members of the Black Cloud Society, merely squinting and smiling as he passed by Du Jue.

"Kid, not bad look. Hopefully you can make the vice president happy, otherwise he won't be so kind to deal with your guys later."

The remaining team members immediately stood on both sides of the room, bowing their heads and waiting for orders without saying a word.

"Um, I'm just here to show you the way for money, could I use the restroom first?"

Philip cautiously raised his hand, his refined demeanor quite deceptive. Sayo simply waved her hand, and Gin, who was standing behind her, immediately stepped forward and took Philip away.

Holding the samurai sword on the display stand with both hands, the 1.6-meter-tall Sayo stared expressionlessly at Du Jue.

"Can a blind person learn swordsmanship? Take off the blindfold and those bandages."

Avoid engaging in idle chatter to prolong the time; immediately reach out and remove the blindfold, wrapping it around your neck.

"Did you know that corns are caused by long-term pressure and friction on the skin of the feet? I finally gained the ability to see with my eyes closed by training my heart day and night."

"Like now, I can clearly see that the knife you're holding is almost as tall as you."

The Black Cloud Society members immediately felt a chill, and those who had brought Du Jue in were sweating profusely as they pondered the price of the limb reattachment surgery.

Sayo lowered her eyelids, bent down, grabbed the hilt of the samurai sword at her teammate's waist, and casually tossed it toward Du Jue.

call out!

The arrow-like blade was caught firmly in Du Jue's hand.

"You're so cute, the bone hairpin you make must be pretty good too. If I win, I'll give it to you."

"Sigh, there are always some clueless people. I'll have to take a good bath later."

clang!

Without any command, the two longswords cut through the airflow at the perfect moment, and the gold and silver colors clashed fiercely in an instant.

Sayo's calm gaze passed over her golden blade and fixed on Du Jue, who still had his eyes closed. Only when she sensed that the other party's power was extraordinary did she let out a cold laugh.

Swish swish!

The two men suddenly took a half step back and launched a rapid attack simultaneously. The real flashes of swords and blades filled the room, and countless knife marks immediately appeared on the floor and ceiling. Even the Black Cloud Society members who were standing by were surprised and moved away.

Even Sayo stopped, slightly out of breath, realizing that her opponent was no ordinary person, and immediately looked at Du Jue with a puzzled expression.

"What are you doing here? Did you send someone from the Sakura Alliance?!"

"It seems your swordsmanship is not pure; you're so distracted even in a real sword duel. Take this!"

Blood pump!

Du Jue, who had been suppressing his power, suddenly erupted at this moment, and the sharp blade in his hand slashed down hard towards Sayo's head like lightning.

Bang!

The terrifying force caused the golden blade that Sayo was gripping tightly to tremble with a sharp sound. Du Jue twisted the hilt, and the silver light immediately fell on Sayo's left shoulder, causing a large spray of blood to splatter out.

"Miss?!"

The Black Cloud Society members inside the room couldn't stand still any longer and rushed forward anxiously, drawing their knives.

At the same time, a loud noise came from outside the room, followed by Philip's shout.

"here!"

Salvador kicked the door open, and Philip, carrying a file bag, and Yuna, holding a violin case, were about to rescue Du Jue when they were incredulously surprised to find that Du Jue, who had slashed Sayo down with a knife, had already escaped the encirclement.

Philippe, who had just been worried about eliminating the problem, looked at El Salvador with even more suspicion.

"Master, is he really a fifth-tier finisher like me?"

Having retreated to the vicinity of El Salvador, Du Jue immediately took out the Crusher from his glove. The heavy saw blade violently tore through the flesh of three Black Cloud Society members, immediately making the others hesitant to act.

The Crusher, my ultimate cleaning tool!

"El Salvador".

Sayo, who had just drawn the long sword from her shoulder, pushed away the team member who was trying to help her up. She recognized the person at a glance, and then gritted her teeth as she looked at Du Jue, who had inexplicably started shaking the can.

"What's your name? Are you a cleanup crew member from the East?"

"It seems that Sakura Alliance is finally willing to spend money this time. How about we make a deal?"

A thumping sound came from the first-floor staircase. Yang, who had just been transferred, rushed up with a large group of people and joined Yin, who came down from the third floor. They immediately blocked the Dawn Agency on the second floor.

“We’ve withdrawn our men from the Sakura Joint Venture. We’ve really messed up this time. We won’t be back here for at least a month. You can explain this to your clients.”

El Salvador responded without changing his expression.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but if you're willing to leave obediently, then we can call it quits."

Philip, who was behind him, hesitated before speaking, while Du, shaking the can, leaned over in puzzlement to ask.

“Besides the ledgers, I also discovered the Black Cloud Society’s personnel list. They are targeting members of the Sakura Alliance to provide them as fabric for the Carnival.”

"If we let them leave, the Black Cloud Society will probably take the people from the warehouse with them."

The other two heard Philip's conflicted words; Salvador remained unmoved, while Yuna frowned.

“Philip, I’ve told you many times, don’t let your emotions get the better of you.”

"Work is work."

The situation immediately became tense, and only then did El Salvador gently inquire about the matter.

"Wen Duo, what do you think?"

When faced with a question from your superior, avoid giving an immediate and serious response.

"During the work period, one must naturally fulfill the responsibilities of the person who is responsible for finishing up the work—with the primary goal of completing the entrusted task."

“That’s right, let’s do as the vice president says.”

Du Jue silently hung the lucky can back on his waist, secretly amused as he watched Philip bowing his head in apology.

Although Salvador had to compromise between the interests of the firm and the protection of his subordinates, and also had to worry about the ledgers that Songmi specifically requested being damaged in the battle, who cares about all that after get off work? He could just disguise himself and storm their door.

Even if it's exposed, it's just an individual act; if one person does something, that person has to take responsibility!

121

Chapter 121 Choice.

"Wen Duo, we will definitely meet again, but next time it won't be a kendo competition."

Sayo rolled up the car window with a cold face and pulled her kimono tighter to cover the blood-stained bandage on her shoulder.

The four stood by the roadside watching the members of the Black Cloud Society leave one after another in their cars, while Philip kept his head down as if his mission had failed.

"I'm sorry, Master, Yuna and Senior Wendo. I was really immature just now. I will try my best to learn in the future."

"Learn my ass! Show me the documents. Where did they kidnap them to?"

"But we've already made a deal, and if we back out now, the commission will fail."

"Philip, I'm just taking a look. Senior Salvador should be fine with this, right?"

Salvador looked at Du Jue carefully, somewhat surprised, and then stroked his white beard.

"Although I am the representative of the firm and have a responsibility to protect my subordinates during work hours, I cannot control their private behavior, and I do not have that authority."

"Now we need to go back to Songmi to confirm that the commission has been completed."

"Sir, you are a truly enlightened representative of the firm. Since the commission has already been completed, there's no need for me to submit it. I'd like to leave work early because something unexpected has happened at home."

After reviewing the information, Du Jue knew the location of the warehouse by heart. These guys had placed quite a few people in the morgue hotel. Du Jue immediately realized that this was probably an order from Thumb, since Thumb was currently engaged in a full-scale war with Vacuum Fist.

How exactly did the Vacuum Fist manage to hold its own against the thumb until today?

He had previously received a mission to place an order with Carnival on behalf of Thumb when he was a stray dog. Could this be the raw material needed to complete Thumb's order? It's not that the immediate speculation that Black Cloud would invade this place or collect protection money is just a smokescreen; this group of people is the main target.

After all, you can't refuse a thumb's command, nor can you mess it up.

Philip, who was standing nearby, immediately saw through Du Ju's intention to launch a rescue operation and tried to dissuade him, somewhat bewildered.

"Wen Duo, are you really going to that hotel? Or maybe we should just forget it. We're just here to clean up the mess anyway."

"But wasn't this your idea first, Philip? You were the one who suggested what to do with these people who were caught, and now you're saying we shouldn't interfere. What exactly do you want?"

The atmosphere fell silent. Yuna frowned and looked at El Salvador, who simply lowered his head to check the account books and documents.

"I……"

Seeing Philip, who had once again strained the relationship, she clenched her fists and then shook her head in struggle.

"I don't know, I just felt sorry for them at the time."

"Then go and save them."

"But Master also has an agency..."

“You’re wrong, Philip. The commission was accepted by everyone, so the risk should be borne by everyone.”

"Your idea is just wishful thinking. How can you drag others down with you and make the firm pay for your sympathy?"

Even though Du Jue was just asking calmly, Philip still felt ashamed and uncomfortable standing in front of the three of them, wanting to run away.

"I understand, I will definitely remember this in the future."

"No, you are still running away from the choices you have to make."

"Now you have to answer me. Do you want to leave work early with me to take care of personal matters, or do you want to go with your mentor to submit the task?"

"Once a decision is made, no one can change the past, and no one can regret it later."

Faced with Philip's hesitation, Du Jue simply extended his right hand with interest.

Yuna couldn't listen anymore and hurriedly snatched the file folder from Salvador's hand.

“Master! There are two people who are about to go crazy and break into the Black Cloud Society alone. You can’t just pretend you didn’t see them, can you?”

El Salvador simply chuckled and spoke.

"Don't worry, Yuna. Wendo is a sensible person, which is a rare virtue for a wrapper. Roland talked to me before he transferred to the agency. Even the Black Cloud Society's president is not a threat to him."

"On the contrary, it might be a bit dangerous for Philip to follow. Even though I am his mentor, I can't protect him all the time. After all, you can't deny that you're getting old."

"real or fake?"

Yuna looked at Du Jue with some disbelief, but recalling what she had just seen on the second floor of the kendo dojo, she believed her master's words. Moreover, Roland, the first-tier finisher, and her master were once comrades-in-arms, so the information must be true.

Philip, gritting his teeth, lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Wen Duo, I'm sorry, I'm too weak. If I go, I'll only hold you back."

"Who asked you to come on stage? Did you expect me to handle those victims all by myself? I really have something urgent to do at home and I can't do without you."

"Can't you do without me?"

"Nonsense, the old man and Yuna's fighting style is too easy to recognize, it's the signature style of Dawn Agency. We're all newbies, we can pull off a job secretly and no one will have any evidence."

"Besides, I can't just spend extra money to hire a cleanup guy to do the work, and he might not even dare to offend the Black Cloud Society."
