Torn City: The Almighty System

Roar

Lincoln Zane covered his chest and looked shocked at the many burly men. It had only been a few minutes since he had entered the room. He inwardly sighed that the security system of the Heavenly Inn was indeed powerful.

However, he really didn't regret it. Even if he had to relive the moment, he would still strike first.

A burly security guard emerged from the crowd in an imposing manner. He scanned his eyes across the private room and finally fixed them on Lincoln Zane. He said menacingly, "Kid, how dare you cause a ruckus here? How did you muster such bravery?"

Feeling the other party's sinister gaze, Lincoln Zane was petrified. The intense murderous intent the other party exuded was more terrifying than ever. He unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat as beads of sweat slowly trickled down his forehead.

Instead of speaking, he simply stared at the burly man and remained cautiously on guard. He knew the burly man wouldn't go easy on him, so he was prepared to strike at any moment.

Lincoln Zane knew he couldn't win, but he would fight with all his might. He would rather die in battle than compromise.

Roland was delighted to see his acquaintance. "You, how do you manage your business here? Are you still expecting me to spend my money here in the future? Since I was beaten in your place, I demand an explanation."

"You," whose full name was Xavier, was a veteran. He was the current head of security at the Heavenly Inn. He was so cruel that he mercilessly killed all troublemakers.

"Mr. Chen, rest assured. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. Since you are seriously injured, you'd better go to my office first to dress your wound."

Xavier had a scar on his face that ran from his left forehead to his eyebrows, which looked terrifying. Even though he seemed to be conversing with Roland, there was certainty in his tone.

"Tu, I don't need to worry about how you handle things. But I must first vent my anger."

Roland was not someone to be trifled with. Since he had someone to bolster his courage, he would not go easy on Lincoln Zane. It was his motto to avenge the slightest grievance. He picked up two wine bottles and wanted to smash them against Lincoln Zane's head.

Lincoln Zane's heart tightened as he knew he must not get hit. Otherwise, he would be doomed. He turned his head and dodged. As he dodged another wine bottle, someone pressed on his shoulder with great force, making him unable to move.

Xavier snorted and acted in an instant. When he saw that Lincoln Zane dared to resist again, he became even more angry.

Pow!

The wine bottle landed on top of Lincoln Zane's head with precision and shattered into pieces. Blood dripped down Lincoln Zane's forehead and onto the snow-white carpet, making it eye-catching.

Lincoln Zane groaned, burning with anger. However, the hand on his shoulder was like an iron clamp. No matter how he struggled, it was futile.

"Haha... Aren't you arrogant and audacious for hitting me? You are oblivious to the consequences. I can make you disappear from this world in a minute."

Roland smirked sinisterly. He picked up another wine bottle and smashed it against Lincoln Zane's head. Then, he stabbed Lincoln Zane in the stomach with the broken wine bottle. The sharp glass pierced through Lincoln Zane's thin T-shirt and deeply into his flesh, causing blood to spurt out.

"It hurts! It hurts terribly!" thought Lincoln Zane.

Lincoln Zane trembled slightly, feeling his nerves quivering. Although the pain was unbearable, he gritted his teeth and endured it. He didn't even make a groan.

At that moment, his clothes were soaked with blood, and his chest was severely mutilated. He looked more horrific than ever. He glared at Roland with his bloodshot eyes.

"How dare you stare at me?" Roland was furious. He picked up the broken wine bottle again and was about to stab Lincoln Zane again. However, Xavier stopped him.

"Alright, Mr. Chen, you've vented your anger. Hurry and dress your wound. It would put your life in danger if you were to be infected with tetanus," Xavier said categorically.

When Roland heard that he could be in danger, he was so frightened that he almost peed himself. He quickly dragged the stunned Ariana away. Ariana didn't even look at Lincoln Zane. It could be seen that she was born to be heartless.

After they left, only Lincoln Zane and several security guards were left in the private room.

Xavier threw Lincoln Zane to the ground as if he were throwing out garbage. He sat on the sofa with a devilish smile and said, "I admire your courage. You even dare provoke Roland. He could have easily killed you."

Lincoln Zane became limp and fell to the ground. As he had lost a lot of blood, he passed out. It happened so quickly that he was caught off guard.

Xavier had actually put a lot of pressure on him. Now that things had come to this, there was nothing to fear anymore. Even if he were to die, he would die with dignity. Fearless, he sneered and said, "It was nothing. If it were you, I believe you would do the same."

Xavier narrowed his eyes. He was somewhat impressed by the handsome young man in front of him. He could vaguely see his young self in Lincoln Zane. However, Xavier's duty did not allow him to have selfish motives.

......

Johnson waited anxiously outside the Heavenly Inn. Seeing that Lincoln Zane hadn't come out after more than ten minutes, his heart clenched. He got out of the car and rushed inside like a madman.

When he saw the security guards at the door of the private room on the second floor, Johnson's heart skipped a beat. He thought, "Oh no, something went wrong."

His friendship with Lincoln Zane was as deep as the sea. No matter how scared Johnson was, he rushed in without hesitation. Leaning on his huge stature, he overturned two security guards and rushed into the private room.

The scene before him made his flesh crawl. Several security guards were beating Lincoln Zane with batons, while the severely injured Lincoln Zane lay in a pool of blood. In an instant, Johnson's eyes turned red, and he rushed toward Lincoln Zane with a roar.

Pow!

Before the security guards could react, Johnson had sent them flying. They felt so dizzy as if they had been hit by a tank.

"You lunatic, are you okay?" Johnson cried out and supported Lincoln Zane with trembling hands.

"Ahem... You should leave now." Lincoln Zane opened his eyes with difficulty. He felt he couldn't hold on any longer, so he urged his best friend to leave and didn't want him to be involved.

"Oh, another daredevil. Beat him." Xavier was indeed furious. In the past, no one would dare cause trouble in the Heavenly Inn, but they kept violating its limits today. If Xavier didn't punish them severely, he would lose face.

After receiving the order, the security guards beat Johnson and Lincoln Zane with their batons. Anger was in the air. They were so cruel that they seemed to be trying to kill them.

"Hmph, troublemakers will spend the rest of their lives in bed or be buried in the ground. Since you are ignorant enough to cause trouble here," Xavier shouted.

Johnson threw himself over Lincoln Zane and took all the blows for him. In an instant, his body was full of wounds. His nose was bruised, and his face was swollen. The advantage of being a fat person could be seen, as he had strong resilience against attacks. Although he looked terribly injured, all were just superficial wounds.

Lincoln Zane's injury was so severe that he was in a daze. However, no one noticed that his jade pearl necklace had absorbed all the blood he had shed. A golden light flashed for a moment.

"Tu, please let us go. If my friend is not treated, he will die!" The sight of the unconscious Lincoln Zane made Johnson's face pale with fear. He pleaded bitterly.

Upon hearing his words, Xavier's expression became somewhat complicated. The strong camaraderie moved him, making him feel like he was watching his sincere comrades on the battlefield.

"Allez-y!" Xavier closed his eyes. Anyway, he couldn't let his best friend be in danger. He would never forget the scene of Lincoln Zane ignoring his own safety just to take on over ten thugs for him. As a result, Lincoln Zane was hospitalized for half a month.

Today, Johnson was no longer a coward. He could do anything Lincoln Zane could. Faced with death, he did everything. "Go! I'm not afraid!"

Xavier sneered and thrust his dagger toward Johnson's chest like lightning.

Just as the dagger was two inches away from Johnson's chest, someone with a b****y hand suddenly firmly grasped Xavier's hand. Xavier couldn't move his hand at all.

What happened suddenly shocked everyone. They were stunned when they saw whose b****y hand it was. Even Johnson was stunned.

Everyone was shocked by the pair of eyes. The blood-red eyes seemed to be raging with anger. It was strange and terrifying, sending chills down everyone's spines.

Everyone had complicated expressions on their faces. Some were terrified, some were uncomfortable, and some were incredulous!

Roar!

A roar like a beast suddenly resounded, and it was deafening. All the glass objects in the private room shattered at once. Everyone was so scared that they all sat on the ground with pale faces.
