Apocalypse: Resources Consumed by Women Returned Ten Thousandfold

The man was momentarily stunned by Lin Lang’s words, his mind unable to process them. His face turned red as he shouted loudly:

"What kind of tongue twister are you spouting?! Stop pretending with me here! I’m the younger brother of Guard Captain Zhang from the West Gate! You’d better know your place, or you’ll be in for a world of pain!"

Lin Lang originally thought he would boast of some remarkable background.

Turns out he’s just a guard captain’s brother, causing Lin Lang to chuckle quietly—

Is even a guard captain so brazen now?

Does this indicate some degree of managerial deficiency under Zhang Dabin’s leadership?

...

Seeing Lin Lang in a daze, the man mistakenly thought Lin Lang was intimidated by his supposed status!

Thus, he grew even more proud and continued bragging:

"Even though my brother is currently only the deputy team leader of the Guard Team, he’s life-and-death brothers with the main captain!"

"And the main captain is good friends with the manager of the West Gate!"

"That manager at the West Gate is an extraordinary character, even praised by Lord Zhang!"

"In our area, who doesn’t give face when they hear my brother’s name?"

Lin Lang was curious, raising an eyebrow as he asked:

"Lord Zhang?"

Could it be Zhang Dabin?

The man looked at Lin Lang as if he were an idiot, disdainfully saying:

"You don’t know Lord Zhang? It’s Lord Zhang Dabin! He’s a legendary figure in Xingfu City! Lord Zhang has immense strength, capable of single-handedly killing A-Class Fierce Beasts! Everyone in Xingfu City, high and low, respects him!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Lang couldn’t help but laugh out loud—

He had only been away for a while!

Unexpectedly, Zhang Dabin had become a legendary figure among the people of Xingfu City?

The changes in this world are truly unpredictable!

...

Lin Lang had no interest in entangling with such a minor character, only wanting to leave quickly to handle his own affairs.

However!

The man in front stubbornly blocked Lin Lang’s way, his face full of arrogance, loudly shouting:

"Hmph, you bumped into me and think you can just walk away? No way!"

Lin Lang frowned slightly, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes, as he looked at the man and asked:

"What do you want then?"

Seeing signs that Lin Lang might be backing down, the man grew more egotistical, raising his chin arrogantly and said:

"You have to kneel and apologize to me! Otherwise, this won’t be over today!"

Lin Lang looked at him coolly, his tone calm but carrying an intangible pressure:

"What if I don’t apologize? What can you do to me?"

The man seemed to hear the biggest joke, sneering coldly, arms crossed, he said viciously:

"I’m the relative of the Guard Captain; disrespecting me is disrespecting the Guard Team!"

"And the Guard Team is directly under Lord Zhang’s control; this means you’re disrespecting Lord Zhang!"

"I’ll have my brother arrest you, lock you up for ten days or half a month, and teach you how to behave properly!"

Feeling frustrated, Lin Lang decided not to hold back anymore, curling his lips into a mocking smile, he said:

"Alright, alright, a mere Guard Team dares to be so arrogant? I’d like to ask Zhang Dabin how he manages his men, letting you guys run rampant like this!"

Saying that, Lin Lang took out his phone, found Zhang Dabin’s number, and dialed it.

...

Once the call was connected, Lin Lang calmly stated:

"Lord Zhang, I ran into some trouble at the West Gate, could you come by?"

...

At this moment!

In the conference room at the center of Xingfu District, Zhang Dabin was solemnly discussing the recent development plans for Xingfu District with everyone.

Suddenly, his phone vibrated in his pocket.

He frowned, initially wanting to ignore it, but caught a glimpse of the name on the screen out of the corner of his eye—

Lin Lang!

His heart suddenly skipped a beat!

And hearing Lin Lang address him as "Lord Zhang"?

Cold sweat instantly started pouring from his forehead.

He knew very well, Lin Lang was indeed the only "lord" of Xingfu District!

Now, calling him so, could it be the lord misunderstood something?

Zhang Dabin didn’t bother with whether the meeting concluded, abruptly stood up, and hastily said to everyone:

"Please wait a moment, I have urgent business to attend to!"

Then hurriedly ran towards the direction of the West Gate.

...

Meanwhile!

Seeing Lin Lang making a call, the man thought he was summoning backup, unwilling to be outdone, he quickly dialed his brother.

Once connected, he said tearfully:

"Brother, there’s someone causing trouble at the West Gate entrance, disrespecting me; hurry over!"

A series of angry shouts came from the other end:

"What?! Someone dared to bully my brother? Is he tired of living? Hold on, I’ll be right there!"

In no time!

A series of hurried footsteps approached rapidly; a squad of guards came like the wind rushing to the scene.

They were dressed uniformly in black combat attire, armed with long knives at their waists, their expressions stern and imposing.

The surrounding crowd, seeing this, showed fearful expressions, quickly retreating further, afraid of being affected by the imminent conflict.

The leading Guard Captain, burly with a face full of scars, fiercely led the charge, loudly shouting:

"Who dares bully my brother! Stand out now! Arrest him before anything else!"

His gaze swept across the crowd, quickly locking onto Lin Lang standing in place.

Without hesitation, the Guard Captain waved a big hand, instructing his subordinates:

"That’s him, arrest him now!"

Instantly, a group of guards surrounded Lin Lang like wolves.

The Guard Captain stepped forward, using a disdainful eye to measure Lin Lang from head to toe, viciously saying:

"Who do you think you are, daring to bully my brother? Don’t you know who I am? I’m the deputy captain of the Xingfu District’s West Gate Guard Team; around here, my word is law! If you know what’s good, surrender quietly to avoid suffering!"

Lin Lang still appeared calm, standing motionless, neither showing any intention to flee nor exhibiting any fear.

He merely looked at the Guard Captain steadily, calmly stating:

"I advise you better not move first."

The voice was soft yet seemed to carry an invisible deterrent force, causing those ready to attack guards to pause involuntarily.

"Trying to bluff me?"

The Guard Captain sneered, full of contempt, not taking Lin Lang’s words seriously at all!

He laughed loudly:

"Do you think I’m a Guard Captain for nothing? I’ve personally slain fierce beasts; can I be scared by you? Stop pretending to be mysterious!"

Having said this, he abruptly unsheathed the long knife at his waist, a flash of cold light as the blade pointed directly at Lin Lang.

He strode toward Lin Lang, each step stirring the dust beneath.

His muscular arms bulged, like tongs, reaching for Lin Lang’s shoulder, determined to grab Lin Lang ferociously, letting him know the consequences of offending him.

The crowd around, seeing this, covered their eyes, not wanting to witness the potentially bloody scene next, some even squealed in fear.

Just as the Guard Captain’s hand was about to touch Lin Lang’s shoulder, Lin Lang still remained calm, with even a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

He sidestepped slightly, casually yet precisely evading the Guard Captain’s aggressive grab.

The Guard Captain, using too much force, staggered forward, almost falling to the ground.

After stabilizing himself, he was enraged, roaring loudly, turning to swing his knife at Lin Lang again.

This slash carried fierce winds, powerful enough that, if it landed, it could split a person in two.

Yet Lin Lang remained unhurried, merely extending a finger and lightly flicking the knife.

A loud "Dang!" sound erupted!

The Guard Captain felt a strong force through the blade, his palms numb, nearly losing grip on the knife.

Shocked, he stared at Lin Lang, the first hint of unease rising in his heart.

But his reckless nature couldn’t swallow this insult!

Gritting his teeth, he swung the knife wildly towards Lin Lang again!
