Torn City: The Almighty System

It was late at night, and the Randalete street of West Coast fell into darkness. The world was silent. Lincoln Zane had worked all day and was sleeping in the rented room. He was in such a deep sleep that he would occasionally talk in his sleep. In his sleep, he smiled and drooled... "I love it when we're at a party. In a downtown crowd, oh. But I don't hear you calling me baby. With the music blasting, red wine, good times. No, I don't mind being with everyone..." Suddenly, the phone ringing broke the silence of the night. The abrupt sound woke Lincoln Zane, who was sound asleep. "Who's the bastard waking someone up with a call in the middle of the night!" Lincoln Zane was furious. As he yawned, he picked up his phone and glanced at it. It was his best friend calling. Before waiting for his friend to speak, Lincoln Zane shouted, "Fatso, why the hell did you call me in the middle of the night? Not only did you startle me, but you also woke me up from my dream. If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, don't blame me..." "What are you doing? How can you still feel like sleeping? That s**t, Ariana, has a new lover. She's cheating on you. I'm watching her now. Hurry, come to the Heavenly Inn to catch her in the act of cheating. Hurry up." "What did you say... Hey, b*stard." Lincoln Zane listened to the beeping sound from the other end of the line in confusion. It took him a long time to regain his composure, and the word "cheating" lingered in his mind. "Is this a joke?" "Or is it real?" Lincoln Zane wondered. Lincoln Zane frowned. The news was so shocking that he couldn't accept it and would prefer it to be a joke. However, considering that Johnson was like a brother to him, he knew that Johnson would never tease him or joke about such a matter. At the thought of that, Lincoln Zane's expression darkened terribly. Whether it was true or not, he had to go and see. He was resolved and would do whatever came to his mind. He casually put on his clothes and rushed down the stairs like a gust of wind. After calling a taxi, he went straight to the Heavenly Inn, which was located in downtown Randalete street . Everyone in Randalete street knew that the Heavenly Inn was the best entertainment club in town. It was famous for its high expenses. Ordinary people couldn't afford it, let alone someone as poor as Lincoln Zane. Twenty minutes later, Lincoln Zane arrived at his destination. At a glance, he saw his best friend, Johnson, at the entrance of the Heavenly Inn. Johnson was remarkable because he was fat and weighed nearly 200 pounds. He was wearing a loose T-shirt and beach pants. With a belly as big as a basketball, he looked funny. "Why are you so late? I'm so anxious. Johnson's family owned a restaurant. Since he was rich, he was a regular customer of the club. He was here to spend time with his friends when he stumbled upon Lincoln Zane's girlfriend having a date with someone. "I'm more anxious than you. Is Ariana still there? Are you sure you saw it clearly? Don't make a mistake, or everyone will be embarrassed." Lincoln Zane asked a lot of questions as chills ran down his spine. How could he not be anxious? If he wasn't anxious in such a situation, he wouldn't deserve to be a man. Johnson shifted slightly as his big body squirmed. He patted his chest and swore, "I won't make a mistake. Ariana and I were classmates for four years. How could I not recognize her? I told you that even if she was pretty, she wasn't your type. But you didn't listen to me." Hearing that, Lincoln Zane was so enraged that his eyes were as red as blood. The most intolerable thing for men was their women cheating on them. Although Lincoln Zane was poor, he had a strong sense of self-esteem and was arrogant. He would never allow such a thing to happen to him. Even if it was his beloved girlfriend, he would make them pay the price they deserved. "Where are they now?" Lincoln Zane asked darkly, grinding his teeth. "The second floor. I don't know the man, but I guess he's rich." Johnson paused for a moment. Then, he said with concern, "Lincoln, let me tell you in advance. I asked you to come here to see Ariana's true colors. However, you cannot cause trouble. We cannot afford to cause trouble here. ." Johnson's expression was solemn. He kept telling Lincoln Zane that the boss of the Heavenly Inn was so powerful that they couldn't afford to provoke him. It was hard to imagine the consequences of causing trouble here. "Don't worry. I just want to see it with my own eyes. If it's true, do you think Ariana is worthy of my love for her?" "Okay. But if you can't help but hit someone, you must run away as fast as possible. I'll pick you up outside." Johnson was a bit helpless. He knew very well that Lincoln Zane would fight on the scene. However, he also believed that Lincoln Zane could take on two people without effort. Johnson first took Lincoln Zane to the Heavenly Inn. After all, there was a member management system. Without Johnson's help, Lincoln Zane couldn't even get in through the door. Then, Johnson drove the car to the entrance and waited to help Lincoln Zane at any time. Lincoln Zane looked around the first floor and took note of the layout of the floor. Only then did he run directly to the second floor. As the best entertainment club in town, the Heavenly Inn was worthy of its reputation. It underwent luxurious renovations. Whether it was software or hardware, its deployment was perfect. The soundproofing effect of the private rooms was even more amazing. Even if they were to fight in the room, no one outside would be able to hear it. When Lincoln Zane arrived at the second floor, he was stunned. There were at least ten private rooms on the second floor, and each room was almost the same. What reassured him was that there was a small transparent window on the door of each private room, giving him a chance. To avoid suspicion from the staff on the second floor, Lincoln Zane took out his phone and pretended to be on the phone. He then walked past each private room to look for his girlfriend. Lincoln Zane's hard work paid off, and he finally found her in private room number 888888. Through the transparent window on the door, he could clearly see the scene inside. All he could see was a man and a woman singing joyfully. The woman was his girlfriend, Ariana. She was dressed in a thin gauze dress and had an enchanting figure, extremely sexy. Under the disco lights, her fair skin was rejuvenating and beautiful. Next to her was a young man in his twenties. He was dressed in a suit and looked suave. He wrapped his arm around Ariana's waist while indulging in her singing. The young man inappropriately ran his hand over Ariana's body while Ariana closed her eyes. "B*stard!" Lincoln Zane couldn't bear it anymore and roared with anger. He suddenly burst into the private room and shouted, "Ariana, s**t! How dare you cheat on me! Ah!" The roar was deafening, and the loud sound directly suppressed the music. The familiar voice echoed in her ears, making Ariana tremble. As she looked at the familiar figure, her face turned pale, and she was at a loss. "Who are you? Are you looking for a fight?" The young man began to curse. He was very unhappy about being disturbed. Therefore, he turned off the audio equipment and looked at Lincoln Zane. "Who said? How dare you seduce my girlfriend! I'll kill you!" Lincoln Zane's gaze was cold. He was so angry that he could go mad. "Are you Ariana's boyfriend? Tsk, tsk, you're quite handsome, but she's out of your league. She's my woman now. If you're wise, you'd better leave here. wait for me..." "Go to hell..." Before the young man could finish his words, Lincoln Zane resolutely attacked. He kicked the young man and picked up an empty wine bottle to smash it on his head. Crash! The wine bottle shattered in an instant. The young man fell to the ground with a scream, blood flowing down his face. He did not expect Lincoln Zane to dare hit him. When the young man regained consciousness, he roared furiously. "Damn, how dare you hit me!" The young man was Roland, the son of Mr. Borl, a real estate tycoon in Randalete street . Roland had a solid background and had connections with the government and the underworld. He had never experienced such grievance before. Hatred crossed his eyes as the urge to tear Lincoln Zane to pieces rose within him. "Of course, I dare hit you, b*stard!" Lincoln Zane was still furious. He stepped forward and slapped Roland twice. When Lincoln Zane was about to hit again, Ariana screamed and pushed him away. "Lincoln Zane, are you crazy? Have you had enough?" Ariana shouted at him coldly. "You can't give me the life I want. Let's break up. Calm down and treat everything as if it were just a dream." "Haha... Han Yanting, don't you feel bad saying that to me? You want to break up with me, don't you? Of course! But I'm the one breaking up with you today. Do you understand?" Lincoln Zane laughed angrily. His heart was bleeding. Their three-year relationship couldn't withstand the temptation of money. It was truly a pity. Such a vain woman was no longer worthy of his love. Lincoln Zane looked at them with a sinister expression and turned to leave. As soon as he opened the door to the private room, a giant figure suddenly appeared in front of him. There was nowhere to hide. Pow! Lincoln Zane was kicked in the chest, and the powerful force sent him flying. He banged his head against the wine table, overturning the wine table. Lincoln Zane had to roll twice on the ground before stopping. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Lincoln Zane quickly got up and looked over. He found several strong men in security uniforms standing at the door of the private room with murderous looks. His heart skipped a beat as he thought, "They're so fast. I'm in big trouble." The security staff at the Heavenly Inn were well-trained and had dealt with all kinds of situations. They were like a pack of wolves, ready to pounce at any moment. Lincoln Zane knew that he was not their opponent.
