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. Cohenâs house was in an apartment on Devore Street.
Cohenâs house was not big. All in all, it was only about 60 square meters.
The furniture and furnishings 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 familyâs 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 shirtless. 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.
âOh, by the way, darling, thereâs something I forgot to tell you.â
During the intermission, Tanasha said,
âTwo people from the embassy came today and asked about you. Is something wrong? Donât hide it from me.â
âThese damn people actually found this place,â Cohen cursed loudly as he put down his beer.
âWhat happened? Tell me quickly.â
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?â
âI donât know. Maybe his injuries were too severe,â Cohen said indifferently. âBut I have to say that the Huaxians are too weak. I only hit that personâs head and then he fell to the ground.â
âYou know this. The physical fitness of Huaxians is very poor. Theyâre like a ball of bubbles that will pop with a light touch.â
âMy dear, thatâs an apt description. Thatâs what 1 thought as well,â Cohen said with a laugh.
âTheyâve come to Panem to do business, but theyâre still disobedient. We must teach them a lesson. Do they really think theyâre Meiguons and can do whatever they want here?â
âWill they come after you in the future?â
âI donât 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 donât mind beating them up.â
âI 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.â
With my fists, I can fight ten Huaxians alone. Hahaâ¦â
Clang! Clang! Clang!
As the two of them were talking, there was a knock on the door of the house.
Cohen said impatiently,
âWho knocks so late at night? Iâd like to send him to God! Darling, open the door.â
The second half has already begun. Iâm not going.â
Cohen got up and said impatiently,
âDisturbing me from watching the game. Iâm going to teach whoever it is a good lesson.â
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 space.
Seeing the three of them enter, Cohen was shocked.
âWhat are you doing here?!â
Nothing, 1 just want to ask you who told you that thereâs something wrong with the goods,â Lin Yi said with a dark expression. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Cohen stood up and glared at Lin Yi.
âIâve told you everything I know and you still dare to look for me? I wonât let the three of you leave so easily!â
Cohen rushed back to the kitchen angrily and grabbed a fruit knife. He said to Lin Yi,
âYou came to my house without permission. This is illegal. Even if I kill you, the law wonât punish me.â
Darling, donât talk to these stupid Huaxians. Hurry up and teach them a lesson. I want to continue watching the game,â Tanasha said.
Donât worry, I know. These Huaxians canât beat meâ¦â
Before he could finish speaking, Cohenâs voice cut out abruptly.
Because a black gun was aimed at his head.
âYou, what are you doing?!â
Cohen was scared silly. His expression and attitude were completely different from before.
Tanasha let out a high-pitched scream of terror and ducked behind the door on her hands and knees.
âYouâd better not speak too loudly. The gun might go off,â Zhang Chaoyue said.
The two of them stopped talking. No one dared to say anything else.
âI really donât know anything. Iâve already told you everything I know.â
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow at Cohen.
âMy patience is limited. This is your last chance. You only have five seconds to think. Donât disappoint me.â
With a thud, Cohen fell to his knees.
âI really donât know anything. The call was from an unknown number. He said that there was something wrong with your goods. Thatâs why we went to check. If your people hadnât obstructed us, there wouldnât have been a conflict.â âEven if I obstructed you, things shouldnât have escalated so badly, right?â âI-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.â
âBut 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.â
Lin Yi took a deep breath and looked at Kohen calmly.
âHeâs a very important person to me. You should pay for what you did.â
âYes, yes, yes. Iâm willing to compensate. We can go to the hospital now.â
âI have plenty of money. I donât lack whatever you have. Pay with your life.â BANG!
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yue pulled the trigger. The bullet entered Cohenâs forehead and he died on the spot!
âAH!â
Tanasha let out a bloodcurdling scream. It was as if sheâd gone mad. She clutched her head and curled up behind the door.
âIâve already told you, if you keep yelling, the gun will go off.â
Zhang Chaoyueâs words had a deterring effect, and Tanasha trembled, not daring to utter a word.
BANG!
At that moment, another gunshot rang out.
But it wasnât 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..â
