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. Cohen’s house was in an apartment on Devore Street.
Cohen’s 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 family’s 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.
“Oh, by the way, darling, there’s something I forgot to tell you.”
During the intermission, Tanasha said,
“Two people from the embassy came today and asked about you. Is something wrong? Don’t hide it from me.”
“These damn 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 don’t 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 person’s head and then he fell to the ground.”
“You know this. The physical fitness of Huaxians is very poor. They’re like a ball of bubbles that will pop with a light touch.”
“My dear, that’s an apt description. That’s what 1 thought as well,” Cohen said with a laugh.
“They’ve come to Panem to do business, but they’re still disobedient. We must teach them a lesson. Do they really think they’re Meiguons and can do whatever they want here?”
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.
“You’d 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 don’t know anything. I’ve 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. Don’t disappoint me.”
With a thud, Cohen fell to his knees.
“I really don’t know anything. The call was from an unknown number. He said that there was something wrong with your goods. That’s why we went to check. If your people hadn’t obstructed us, there wouldn’t have been a conflict.” “Even if I obstructed you, things shouldn’t 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.
“He’s a very important person to me. You should pay for what you did.”
“Yes, yes, yes. I’m willing to compensate. We can go to the hospital now.”
“I have plenty of money. I don’t lack whatever you have. Pay with your life.” BANG!
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yue pulled the trigger. The bullet entered Cohen’s forehead and he died on the spot!
“AH!”
Tanasha let out a bloodcurdling scream. It was as if she’d gone mad. She clutched her head and curled up behind the door.
“I’ve already told you, if you keep yelling, the gun will go off.”
Zhang Chaoyue’s words had a deterring effect, and Tanasha trembled, not daring to utter a word.
BANG!
At that moment, another gunshot rang out.
But it wasn’t 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..”
