Chapter 228 Is Anyone Available Tonight? (1/2)

Besides letting out a grunt when Gao Peng told him his destination, the taxi driver didn't say a word for the entire journey.

Not at all fazed by the driver's silence, Gao Peng simply watched the scenery pass by outside the window.

The streets grew emptier as the car drove on.

”Mister, the Southern Sky Group isn't this way,” said Gao Peng.

”I'm just taking a detour to avoid traffic on the highway,” said the driver. The driver's voice sounded hoarse, as if he hadn't used it in a long time.

Gao Peng narrowed his eyes at him, then spotted a public bathroom nearby.

”Stop the car. I need to use the toilet.”

The driver swerved the car to the right. ”We'll reach the Southern Sky Group in 20 minutes. Just try to hold it.”

Goldie, who had been quietly sitting beside Gao Peng, suddenly leapt up and struck the driver's head with one of its wings!

The driver was dazed for a moment. There was a throbbing pain in the back of his head. An evil look suddenly flitted across his face.

Cursing under his breath, the driver said, ”Don't move too much back there, little guy. There must be something wrong with your bladder if someone as young as you can't hold it in for just a bit longer.” He let out a chuckle, as if there was something funny about what he had said.

”Goldie, beat him up,” Gao Peng said loud enough for the driver to hear.

The driver's face went pale as he immediately stepped on the brakes. ”Let's not do anything hasty now.”

Gao Peng calmly stepped out of the car and pulled Goldie out after him. ”You should have stopped when I told you to. Tell me, who sent you?”

The driver shook his head. ”Let's not jump to conclusions,” he said, raising both his hands to show that he meant Gao Peng no harm.

At the same time, the trunk silently opened and a white-furred monkey stealthily climbed out of it.

Thanks to its padded feet, it didn't make a sound as it made its way across the asphalt.

The white-furred monkey slowly approached Gao Peng from behind, its eyes gleaming menacingly.

Then it struck him in the back of the head.

As Gao Peng fell, he saw the monkey hit Goldie's head, as well. A purple light flashed across Goldie's body. Without warning, the duck's body expanded.

The driver's look of glee turned to one of surprise. Why is it still standing? Something's not right, he thought.

Gao Peng began rubbing the back of his head. Even though he wasn't seriously injured, his head still smarted.

He saw a three-foot-tall white-furred monkey glaring at him, its dark green eyes twinkling in the darkness. When it realized that Gao Peng was looking at it, it grinned at him and aimed a kick at his crotch.

That is one evil monkey, he thought.

Gao Peng quickly shielded his crotch with his hands, and the monkey's foot landed on the back of his hand.

The sudden pain in his hand was redirected to Goldie, whose body expanded again with a flash of purple light.

Goldie had already grown six feet. Its yellow feather coat was now on the verge of bursting at the seams.
