Deities Are All Just My Food-Chapter 2230 - 996: The Gambling God Arrives!
Lin Baici turned his head, and upon seeing the newcomer, raised his eyebrows.
It was Hoffman, that slave master!
"So you’re scared too?"
Lin Baici taunted.
No need to ask, Hoffman was certainly targeting him; otherwise, why would such a big figure come to Hong Kong Island?
Clearly, he was waiting for him to leave the Nine Provinces, ready to act and eliminate him.
But unfortunately, before he could make a move, the cruise ship encountered the Harbor Island Ghost Ship and was captured.
"You people from the Nine Provinces are indeed so sharp-tongued, annoying like monkeys!"
Hoffman’s expression was unpleasant.
Because Lin Baici was right, no matter how arrogant Hoffman was, he didn’t dare to make a move in Haijing, nor in Lin Baici’s hometown of Guangqing.
Even if Hoffman succeeded in killing Lin Baici, he would face the crazy retaliation from the Jiuzhou Security Bureau.
The profound foundation of a great nation with five thousand years of history was no joke!
"Your position rose quite quickly, huh?"
Lin Baici sneered.
Gu Qingqiu was already very capable, using his familiarity with ’Hong Kong Island’ as a local tiger, climbed quickly, but even now his rank was not as high as Hoffman’s.
But it was understandable, in this era’s Hong Kong Island, white foreigners were ultimately a higher class.
"Hmph!"
Hoffman snorted coldly.
"What are you planning to do?"
Lin Baici looked at the surrounding police and soldiers armed to the teeth: "Planning to order my execution?"
With Hoffman’s capabilities, he must be letting the system randomly select a game, rather than choosing himself, so the chance of running into him was really big.
"..."
Hoffman was silent.
He was a bit uncomfortable.
He used a Divine Grace to control the Governor of Hong Kong Island, directly getting appointed as a Senior Police Officer.
He didn’t know how to clear this level, but he was paying attention to the Rainy Night Butcher and the Gambling God who would bankrupt a casino every few days.
Now on Hong Kong Island, gangs were rampant, fighting every day, seizing territory, Hoffman didn’t care, it was just that things got too big these last few days.
He decided to lead a team to suppress these people, not to restore order to Hong Kong Island or give citizens a good living environment, purely out of boredom.
He didn’t expect to see Lin Baici.
This freaked him out.
The person who killed his son was standing in front of him, he couldn’t just not act, but if a fight broke out, even if he won, it would affect the purification process of the God’s ruins.
The Harbor Island Ghost Ship was one of the ten Great Divine Ruins of Jiuzhou, and Hoffman could confirm there was definitely a God present on it.
Even at his peak, Hoffman couldn’t guarantee he could defeat a God, let alone after fighting Lin Baici.
The more Hoffman thought, the more upset he became, his face growing increasingly dark.
"Did you get your position by illegal means?"
Lin Baici probed.
According to the Eater God, with Hoffman’s high position, he should have completed the mission a long time ago and been able to clear the level.
Still being here, it couldn’t be that he hadn’t had enough of the game; certainly, the conditions had not been met.
Hoffman was also a smart man; he immediately smelled an underlying meaning in Lin Baici’s simple words.
Why was Lin Baici so certain?
Could it be that those who came up through official channels would have other benefits?
The word ’clearance’ suddenly entered Hoffman’s mind.
On the right side, there was suddenly a commotion in the police camp standing ready; soon, they moved aside, and an elegant female inspector walked out.
"Slave master, what are you planning with such a big show?"
Gu Qingqiu rushed over as soon as she got the news.
"It’s you?"
Hoffman had investigated the girl, her intelligence was high, but he wasn’t clear about her combat skills.
Because Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao were too strong, Gu Qingqiu never needed to act.
But someone with a high intelligence usually wouldn’t have poor combat skills either.
"Since you’re here, we might as well clean up these Hongxing scum!"
Gu Qingqiu suggested.
The Crown Prince and his gang were immediately agitated and restless when they heard this.
"Do you take me for your servant?"
Hoffman’s voice was icy.
"Being my servant is better than being killed by a God, right?"
Gu Qingqiu chuckled.
She knew Hoffman was wary of the Ghost Ship God, otherwise, he would have started fighting by now.
"You should have investigated my alumni and our Seventh Star, right?"
Gu Qingqiu stood in front of Hoffman, not intimidated by him being a veteran Dragon level: "Our achievements, you should be very clear, right?"
Hoffman didn’t respond to Gu Qingqiu, but the answer was obvious.
Given Hoffman’s caution, how could he not investigate the man who killed his son?
Then he discovered how strong the opponent was.
They even had records of killing a God!
This was definitely a rising new star after Xia Hongyao, even in the global God Hunter circle, this was an outstanding presence.
"Get out of the way!"
Gu Qingqiu shouted at the Hongxing Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince was unwilling, wanting to curse back, but looking at Gu Qingqiu’s epaulets, he dared not.
"Fuck off!" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
Hoffman cursed.
The Crown Prince lowered his head and obediently rolled to the side.
Not moving?
Then be prepared to get shot!
Hongxing’s backing was just a Detective Chief, far lower in rank than that of a Senior Police Officer.
"There’s a God on this Ghost Ship!"
Gu Qingqiu looked around: "Otherwise, we would have come to eliminate you to prevent future troubles!"
"Gods are hard to kill, but my fellow alumni have records of killing Gods!"
"We might as well call a temporary truce; otherwise, in the end, it’s only going to let that God take advantage of the situation!"
