What Happens When You Anger a Government Employee
A few minutes later, at the village committee's tractor warehouse.
A thick, rusty iron chain bound the Sabretooth tightly, the knots wrapped around a concrete pillar.
To create the perfect atmosphere, Sing Sing even stood on a bench, strung up an electrical cord, and hung an incandescent light bulb directly in front of the Sabretooth's furry face.
"Splash!"
A basin of icy well water was poured down.
The Sabretooth shuddered and opened its eyes.
The bright light made his head spin.
The inner thigh has healed thanks to its self-healing ability, but the phantom pain of being torn apart is still raging wildly in my nerves.
"Where the hell am I?" he roared, shaking the icy water off his head.
"Behave yourself!"
A powerful shout rang out from the darkness.
The Sabretooth narrowed its eyes.
Behind the large light bulb was a broken wooden table.
Two people were sitting behind the table, one fat and one thin, and both were wearing dark sunglasses, even though it was the middle of the night.
Sing Sing crossed his arms. "You can remain silent, but every word you say will be grounds for a fine."
Cao Dahua slammed his fist on the table, making the enamel mug on it bounce. "That's right! We are the Royal... ptooey, 749 Bureau Major Crimes Unit! Confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely!"
The Sabretooth, enraged, laughed instead.
He's the apex predator among Mutants!
Do you think a few broken iron chains can restrain him?
"Ants!" His muscles bulged as he struggled outwards.
"Clang... Clang!"
The chains were taut and couldn't be broken.
Not only did it fail to break free, but the rusty iron chain didn't even show any signs of deformation.
The Sabretooth looked down.
Good heavens, the seams of the iron chain were all welded shut!
The solder joints were still steaming!
Don't bother.
A person emerged from the shadows, carrying a smoking welding torch.
Wolverine pushed off the welding mask on his face, picked up another enamel mug, and took a sip of the finely ground floral tea.
"This is a high-strength manganese steel chain used on construction sites. I just welded three layers onto it with argon arc welding; even an elephant couldn't break free from it."
Sabretooth nearly spat out a mouthful of blood when he saw his younger brother dressed as a welder.
"Jimmy! Are you crazy?! You're actually helping outsiders against your own brother!"
"What brother? Don't try to be friendly with me!" Wolverine glared.
"You came here in the middle of the night to ruin my livelihood, destroy the forest greenery, and trample countless flowers and plants! I'm a government employee now! A legitimate, tenured citizen! I have to distance myself from criminals like you!"
The Sabretooth lost its composure.
What's wrong with this world?
And he keeps talking about being a public official?!
Sing Sing took out a notebook from his pocket and pulled out a red ballpoint pen.
"Stop trying to claim kinship. Give me your name!"
"Die!" the Sabretooth bared its canine teeth.
Sing Sing, expressionless, drew a line in his notebook. "Arrogant attitude, insulting state officials, additional fine of two hundred. Age!"
I'll tear you to pieces!
"Intimidating law enforcement officers, using cruel methods, will result in an additional fine of 500. Place of origin!"
Stryker won't let you get away with this!
The Sabretooth struggled frantically, its chains rattling loudly as they were pulled.
Sing Sing put down his pen and adjusted the sunglasses on his nose.
Stryker? Who does he think he is?
He pulled an abacus from under the table and slammed it onto the table with a "smack".
"Since you're not cooperating, let's start by calculating the financial costs."
Fingers clicked and clacked on the abacus beads.
"A five-year-old birch tree was maliciously felled; its market value is 200 yuan. This terrified the villagers at the foot of the mountain, and the compensation for emotional distress is 10,000 yuan. Two corpses were found at the village entrance; how terrible is that? Cleanup costs, funeral expenses, sponsorship fees for road repairs in the village..."
Sing Sing's calculations were lightning fast. "That's five million and eight thousand six hundred in total. I'll round it down to five million. Scan the code or pay in cash?"
"You're fucking robbing me!"
"Speak with respect!"
Cao Dahua pointed at Sabretooth's nose, "We're just following the rules! What exactly are you plotting with that old bastard Stryker? What are you doing in China!"
Sabretooth sneered, trying to salvage some of his villainous dignity.
"You bunch of insects have no idea how great Weapon X Program is. Stryker's army will soon raze this place to the ground!"
"Great?"
Sing Sing Chow slammed his hand on the table.
"You don't even pay for the Five Insurances and One Housing Fund, and you call that great? Your place is a complete Blackheart workshop! Illegal employment! Exploitation of labor!"
Wolverine nodded in agreement from the side.
"Absolutely. Back then, we were forced to sit in the water trough with electricity every day, and we couldn't even get a hot meal. Unlike now, the forest farm canteen has meat every day."
The Sabretooth stared at its younger brother, its eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.
"You've been brainwashed, Jimmy! Wake up! You're a wolf! A wolf! Not a dog that wags its tail for two cans of genetically modified soybean oil!"
You don't know anything!
Wolverine got angry and pointed at Sabretooth's nose, yelling, "I've found the true meaning of life! You're just a street urchin without health insurance, all you do is hang around outside all day. Do you know what a government job is? Do you know what a stable job is? Do you know what social recognition is?"
Sabretooth was utterly desperate; he realized he couldn't communicate with these people at all.
Their thought processes are completely on different levels.
Sing Sing found the incandescent light too hot, so he casually took off his wool coat.
Cao Dahua, who was standing next to him, lit up with a smile and was about to reach out to take the coat, which symbolized the leader's care.
As a result, Sing Sing casually draped his coat over Wolverine's broad back.
"Old Jin, you just finished a fight, don't catch a chill, put on some clothes."
Cao Dahua's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, his teeth itching with anger.
Sing Sing sat down again, placed his hands on the table, and leaned closer to the Sabretooth.
"You say you're Sabretooth. Then let me ask you, are you a sword, a tooth, or a tiger?"
The Sabretooth was stunned. "... What?"
"I'm asking you, did you grow up on hormones to be this big? Did you get a quarantine certificate when you went through customs? With so much body hair, won't you get heat rash in the summer?"
"With your nails so long, don't you poke yourself when you wipe your butt in the toilet? Doesn't it?"
"Are you... are you sick in the head?!"
Not answering? That means you have a guilty conscience.
Sing Sing turned to Cao Dahua, "Cao Dahua, this kid's not being honest. I think we should just take him to the market and sell him by weight as watered-down pork; that'll pay off his fine."
Cao Dahua chimed in, "I think it's a good idea. This guy's build is so robust and fat; we could extract a lot of oil from him, and we could even make a pot of soup from his offal."
Wolverine chimed in, "I'll go to the village entrance to borrow a cart, and while I'm at it, I'll grab a couple of tarpaulins to put on it so it doesn't get dirty."
"I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!"
Sabretooth roared in despair, "Please, get that lunatic in sunglasses out of here! I really don't have any money!"
