Lin Ziran was already turning heads, but when Ou Lan showed up, it was even more startling; the men in the bar couldn’t take their eyes off her.
At this moment, a gangster with tattoos covering his entire shoulder walked over, patted the bouncer on the back, and said, “Bro, I’ve taken a fancy to these two chicks.
I’ll pay for the damage, but the girls are mine to take.”
The tattooed man was clearly a ringleader of ruffians, and several underlings followed behind him.
Everyone knew what fate awaited women who ended up in the hands of such a man—they’d either be played to death or to ruin.
After taking the tattooed man’s money, the bouncer didn’t pursue the matter any further.
The tattooed man, sneering with a wicked smile, was about to lay his hands on Lin Ziran and Ou Lan, “Beauties, how about joining me for some fun tonight?”
At this time, a man with a full beard, clearly another thug, came over with a few minions behind him.
The bearded man swatted the tattooed man’s hand away, “Trying to snatch a girl in front of me?
Tired of living?
These two beauties are mine tonight!”
“Damn it,” the tattooed man clearly wasn’t having it, “I saw her first!”
The bearded man chuckled with a sinister smile, “Then let’s follow the Itinerant World’s rules and duel it out.
Whoever wins gets the beauties.”
With that said, both the tattooed man and the bearded man made calls to their lackeys, summoning them for a showdown in front of the bar.
After ending their calls, they grabbed Lin Ziran and Ou Lan and headed outside.
Once outside the bar, two groups of hoodlums waving machetes were already clashing with each other, their shouts and screams filling the air.
Seeing the glinting machetes, Lin Ziran and Ou Lan were so frightened that their legs went weak.
The fights they’d been in before were nothing compared to this show of force.
Lin Ziran tugged on Ou Lan’s sleeve, “I definitely heard police sirens just now.
Why can’t we see a single cop around?”
“What sirens?
I didn’t hear anything.”
“Damn, must’ve been my imagination!”
Ou Lan was speechless.
It’s one thing to fear an enemy like a god, but quite another to follow a team leader that’s like a pig.
She took a sharp breath, “What do we do now?”
“Run!”
Lin Ziran dropped the word and took off running.
Every time there was a fight, Ou Lan would run after Lin Ziran, so as soon as the latter took off, she also picked up her pace.
The gangs, too engrossed in their fight, noticed the two women running away and stopped fighting, rushing after them with their machetes raised.
The two women, with alcohol fueling their fear and staggering steps, were quickly caught up by the thugs, cornered in a dark alley, with the enemy on three sides and an unscalable wall on the fourth.
The tattooed man was furious, “Damn it!
You think you can fly away when you’re already cooked ducks?
Do you really think I’m a vegetarian?”
The bearded man was equally enraged as he tugged at his collar, “Today I’m going to skin you alive, chop your little claws off, and dismantle your chicken breastbones!”
As he spoke, the tattooed man and the bearded man both advanced on them.
In her desperate ingenuity, Ou Lan pushed her palms forward, “Do you know who I am?
I’m Zhan Moxiao’s wife.
Dare to defy me, and on behalf of Ailan Castle, I will annihilate you!”
Ailan Castle was synonymous with Zhan Moxiao, a symbol of absolute authority and mystery.
Mentioning Zhan Moxiao would conjure thoughts of heroism, wealth, justice, and patriotism in the minds of people from The Empire.
However, “Hahaha…”
A burst of laughter erupted from the crowd, clearly indicating their disbelief.
Not to mention whether Zhan Moxiao had remarried—something nobody knew—it was improbable for the Tycoon’s Lady to be in such a commoner’s bar causing trouble.
Ou Lan was close to tears in frustration.
Dammit, why was Master Xiao’s reputation not working?
At that moment, the two gangs started clashing again, with Lin Ziran and Ou Lan trapped in the corner with no escape.
As the chilling glow of the machetes hacked back and forth, the two girls huddled together, crying at the top of their lungs.
Dammit, how could the public safety in Capital City be so abysmal!

I’d like to recommend a new book available for a free trial period, “The World’s Number One CEO” by Jiang XueFM.
