Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

Are you sure they mean "hand it over"?

Although the translator tries to be as accurate as possible, it sometimes translates slang from various ethnic groups.

However, mistakes may happen.

The relationship between the North District Elder and her is that of a demander and a demanded party. Normally, it would be impossible for him to negotiate with her in a tough tone at this time.

Yan Gui: "I'm pretty sure she also brought a group of orcs, who blocked the entrance to the trading area."

Li Zhi's eyes flickered slightly as he walked to the window and lifted a corner of the curtain.

As expected, many orcs, including lions, foxes, and monkeys, were gathered around the barrier entrance facing the hospital.

Li Zhi: "Did it affect Director Wang's surgery?"

Yan Gui: "No."

Li Zhi: "That's nothing. Let's call the rest of the guards and go take a look together."

"Yes."

The guard team has assembled.

Li Zhi led his men downstairs.

Big Pancake Sister has also arrived and is trying to persuade the Lion Clan Elder in the hall. Lion Nan's expression is somewhat angry, but it seems to be mixed with something else.

Li Zhi took in everyone's gaze. "Elders, my hospital just received its first patient, and you're already demanding I hand them over? Do you not want my hospital to continue operating in the Beast Market?"

Lion Elder: "My lord, you have misunderstood. Our orc race is extremely grateful to you for opening a hospital here. However, the southern merchant you treated has a deep-seated hatred for us in the north. We must capture him and bring him to our territory for judgment by the Beast God!"

Li Zhi wasn't just listening to her speak; he was also observing her expression, as well as the expressions of everyone else.

Interestingly, she discovered that these beastmen's emotions were also very collective.

The lions were the most furious, the monkeys the most excited, and the foxes the most worried.

Yes, these fox clan elders occasionally showed similar emotions of worry, tension, and fear.

Many thoughts raced through Li Zhi's mind.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if that businessman was your enemy, I can understand how you feel, but he has been taken to the operating room and is currently undergoing treatment..."

"No need for treatment! Just carry him out!"

Shi Nan wanted to break in.

Big Pancake Sister grabbed him.

Li Zhi's tone turned cold: "Elders, I opened this hospital to make money and to cooperate amicably with the beastmen. Aren't you afraid of incurring joint retaliation from merchants of other races by damaging my reputation like this?"

Lion's forward-rushing body froze in place.

Li Zhi silently scrutinized these people.

Not entirely unexpectedly, it was the fox clan elder who stepped forward to negotiate.

Fox Clan Elder: "My lord, we absolutely did not mean to offend or disrupt your business. It's just that that person is of great importance to the entire orc race and the Beast Alliance. Now that this matter has not escalated, we need to take him away so that things can stop spreading."

Li Zhi calmly replied, "You mean if I don't hand it over, I'll become an enemy of the orcs, or rather, the Beast Alliance?"

"You've misunderstood. We just want to take away the traitor from the Beast Alliance."

Li Zhi: "It's quite a coincidence. I happen to know the leader of your Beast Alliance, and I also have some connections with her daughter, Ya Xi, and her sister, Ya Jin. Perhaps I could negotiate with them directly?"

The fox clan elder's expression changed slightly.

However, not daring to gamble on whether Li Zhi truly knew the Beast Alliance Leader, he softened his tone: "My lord, that bison merchant is just a stranger to you, but very important to us. Why don't you tell me how you can summon that bison merchant?"

Li Zhi: "He was the first patient in my hospital. No matter what, I have to cure him and let people see him walking out alive and kicking. As for what happens after he walks out, that's none of my business."

Lion Elder: "What if he doesn't come out?"

Li Zhi: "If he pays the hospitalization fee, our hospital cannot prevent him from being hospitalized, whether for humanitarian reasons or other reasons. But if he recovers and there are other patients in the hospital who need treatment, and the beds are full, then he definitely cannot stay."

"After all, this is a hospital, so of course the inpatients are the most important."

Lion Elder: "Then isn't this blatant favoritism—"

The fox elder interrupted the lion elder: "Our northern region lacks everything, except people who need treatment. Your hospital will soon be full."

Li Zhi nodded reservedly.

He turned around and went back to the hospital.

Zhang Bai quietly asked her, "Boss, are we really going to hand him over? Didn't he say he wanted to exchange information for permanent residency in our safe trading zone?"

Li Zhi: "Our trading area is neither territory nor a hotel; it's just a hospital that sells weapons. There are no permanent residency rights."

Zhang Bai: "Then we shouldn't take his news? I feel that the news he sent to you after being so badly injured must be very important."

Li Zhi: "You think this is important news, but he passed it on to a complete stranger, a businessman. Why do you think that is?"

Zhang Bai: "I think they offended someone and are trying to get protection from our hospital."

Li Zhi: "That's just one aspect. The other aspect is that he wants to use the special nature of the hospital to divert attention from his conflict with the North District Elder, and make me a shield in front of him."

Zhang Bai figured it out and said angrily, "This guy is completely using us as pawns!"

Li Zhi wasn't angry: "Actually, it's not that I can't be his shield, it's just that he can't afford the price."

The merchant's cloak was indeed a level 3 cloak, and the goods inside were clearly visible because it was in display mode.

It's all raw materials and food.

There wasn't a single expensive item.

The nose ring was indeed a storage backpack, but it only had three compartments, one of which contained 16 gold coins.

The remaining two slots are filled with poorly made weapons that have no attribute points.

Li Zhidu was worried that if he used that thing, it would either go off accidentally or he would be shot in the face.

They were terribly poor.

Zhang Bai: "Then I'll ask Director Wang to stitch up his incision better. I'll treat the stitched wound myself so he can recover faster and hopefully be discharged on the same day."

Li Zhi instructed Yan Gui: "Follow that Bison Clan merchant secretly and see where these elders from the Northern District are taking him."

Yan Gui: "Yes."

After explaining everything at the hospital, Li Zhi activated the teleportation stone in front of everyone. In the instant of the magical fluctuation, she activated the invisibility card and quietly walked to Shi Nan's side.

The actions of the elders in the North District already demonstrate that the information about this Bison Clan merchant is not only very important, but also concerns the conflict between the North and South Districts.

After several days of investigation, Li Zhi already knew what the biggest conflict was between the north and south districts of the Beast Market:

The Southern District wants to attach itself to the Feathered Spirit Clan in advance, using their resources to get through the century-long rating. Even if they lose, they can still become a vassal of the Feathered Spirit Clan.

The North District, on the other hand, wanted to completely break free from its subordinate status, refuse to pay tribute, and go all out to achieve a century-old rating.

Li Zhi's intuition told him that the conflict between the North and South districts was definitely related to the fact that the leader of the Beast Alliance had secretly gone to see Yi.

If she can grasp this clue and follow it closely, she might soon be able to uncover the shady dealings between Yi and Ao.

At that time, she will let Ao truly experience what sober anger is.
