Food God System: Wasteland

"I hope Senator Robbie can give me some clues to find this person. If I find the mastermind behind all this, I will pull out his fingernails one by one and slice off his meat."

"Slice by slice, until I reach 3000 cuts, then let him die."

"In the world before the apocalypse, this punishment was called Ling Chi."

A flash of fear swept through Robbie's heart, but more so was shame and anger.

From Chen Che's words, it seemed he somehow knew it was him...

Should he know? Would he know? Does he have evidence?

Questions swirled around Robbie's mind.

Although the entire plan, all members of the council participated, in reality, the one who executed it fully was Robbie.

After all, when first persuading Chen Che, Chen Che had undermined him, made Robbie quite upset, so he volunteered, arranging everything just to deal with Chen Che, making Chen Che die by his hand.

Unexpectedly, it backfired.

This bastard truly has guts, daring to say these things in front of the council.

Andemon from Night Empire glanced at Chen Che and said coldly, "Mr. Chen, saying these things in front of so many of us is unfriendly, I'm afraid. This seems to violate Night Empire's laws."

Chen Che gently patted his mouth, smiling, "Sorry, I'm punishing myself. I really apologize, because I really want to grind the bones to dust of the person behind this."

"I hope everyone here can empathize; if any of you knew someone wanted to kill you, wanted to get rid of you, I believe nobody would be in a good mood; all would just want to ferret them out and kill them, right?"

Also from Night Empire, Huo Yuanting didn't want to continue this topic with Chen Che, exhaled and said, "Mr. Chen, we understand your desire for revenge, but aren't you overdoing it?"

"Your men are launching killing sprees across various districts, although they are targeting gang members, but did every gang participate in your assassination attempt? Do you have evidence?"

"You must know, even though they are gangs, in this world now, becoming a gang member isn't seen as extremely heinous like in the civilized world."

"Some gangs are friends with many officials from the Ninth Special Zone."

"It's said that in life, one should show leniency for future encounters; Mr. Chen, please don't drag too many into this for the sake of revenge."

"This is also for the stability of the Ninth Special Zone."

Chen Che heard these words, still smiling, "Senator Huo, thank you for the reminder. As a good citizen of the Ninth Special Zone, I naturally understand the immense importance of maintaining its stability."

"In my view, these gang elements are the biggest instability factor in the Ninth Special Zone."

"Might as well let me clean them up."

"Rest assured, I will definitely measure my actions."

Seeing Chen Che was unaffected, Huo Yuanting's face sank and didn't continue speaking.

An Nishang slowly stood up; the meeting had come this far; she saw no need to stay longer and bade farewell to the others present before leaving.

Such significant personnel changes mean the Ninth Special Zone won't be calm for the next month.

After all, as the saying goes, new officials bring three fires.

An Nishang and Yan Chong, two new officials assume vital positions in the Ninth Special Zone, stirring up a storm unlikely to recede anytime soon.

When most others had left, only the council members remained.

Unable to hold back his anger any longer, Robbie slammed his fist on the table, his face darkened, and said, "Who the hell does he think he is? He's nothing but An Nishang's boy toy! How dare he threaten me! Wasn't his speech directed at me?"

"Hell, how can he have such audacity? Even if he knows I'm behind it, does he really dare to kill me?"

As Robbie spoke, he could barely contain his expression, showing anger, but deep down there was an inexplicable fear.

The scenes from not long ago still vivid in his mind.

Robbie could still recall how crazy Chen Che was that day, transforming into a chainsaw-wielding maniac, slicing many to pieces.

Practically a living demon.

Chen Che seemed aware of the connection and, in front of the council, issued his threat directly at Robbie!

Previously, Robbie wouldn't have cared, never believing a mere boy toy would dare to attack a council member like him.

But after witnessing that scene.

Robbie increasingly felt this person was insane.

He dared not gamble, truly dared not.

This madman...

Robbie sensed his own loss of composure, but couldn't control his emotions.

Though he was a senator.

He was merely supported by the Chamber of Commerce.

If this madman truly sought revenge on him, Robbie wasn't sure if the profit-focused Chamber of Commerce would protect him.

Though it's unlikely the Chamber of Commerce would abandon him, since failing to protect a senator would be a hit to their reputation.

But Robbie cherished his life; even this slight probability filled him with intense fear.

Everyone present could perceive Robbie's abnormality.

Claidine glanced at Robbie with a trace of disdain deep in her eyes, as if not for being allies with Robbie, she wouldn't bother speaking up for him.
