Journey to the End of the Night

Chapter 1595 - 970: Swift and Decisive

Since Lin Zheng appeared in Shifang City, he must be here for the Golden Immortal Auction as well.But in the middle of the night, why would he be causing a drunken scene in a brothel?

Although Lin Zheng has a temper and is impulsive, he acts with discretion.

Could he truly be this foolish?

Perhaps he has another investigation plan and is deliberately disguising himself?

Baili An couldn’t ascertain if Lin Zheng had another intention, so he did not intervene for fear of disrupting his plan.

Looking at the table, a servant was awkwardly watching the drunken Young Marquis smash things, persistently trying to persuade him to leave.

Yet Lin Zheng appeared completely indifferent, with one arm tightly wrapped around a courtesan from the Boundless Wind and Moon Tower.

His face was flushed red from drinking, his whole body reeking of alcohol.

It was unclear whether it was the alcohol affecting him or if he was annoyed by the servant’s words.

Lin Zheng, with fiercely reddened eyes, was terribly frightening.

If he weren’t currently in a brothel, the girl in his arms would suspect he might kill with rage.

Lin Zheng kicked the table before him, overturning it, spilling food and drink everywhere.

"What?! Do you think I, the Young Marquis of the Lin Family, would owe you for drinks?! Ridiculous!

If I can’t have a bowl of tofu pudding, so be it; now wanting two bowls of wine is next to impossible. Are you provoking me to smash up your shabby establishment?!"

With a sinister and frightening face, Lin Zheng had lost all traces of his usual handsome and cheerful demeanor, looking fierce and savage.

Terrified, the courtesan held tightly in his arms burst into cries.

"Crying, crying! A lowly being serving others with your looks! It’s a favor from me recognizing you, giving you face!"

Lin Zheng’s demeanor was obviously off, his words laden with endless humiliation.

Upon hearing the soft cries of the courtesan, he became more annoyed, his eyes flaring in anger, and he fiercely slapped her face, causing her head to jerk heavily to the side.

The force was unrestrained; with the strength he had, it could slap an adult to death.

The courtesan, being a famous performer from the Boundless Wind and Moon Tower, had some cultivation and withstood the slap.

She screamed, landing amidst the shattered debris on the ground, her arms and calves cut by the ceramic shards, her cheek swollen high.

Blood could be seen flowing from her ear, meandering along her cheek.

Clearly, the slap damaged her eardrum and ear bone; otherwise, there wouldn’t be so much bleeding.

The astonished crowd, including the servant, was dumbfounded.

Originally, they thought it was just drunken madness and smashing things, never expecting bloodshed, especially injuring a courtesan from the Boundless Wind and Moon Tower.

This was Shifang City’s most renowned and largest brothel, each prominent performer having a certain amount of backing from influential forces, unlike those in other brothels who can be bullied at will.

Ze Country’s Lin Family?

Everyone sighed in their hearts.

What is that worth?

If Marquis Lin Qingyuan were still alive, he would be considered among the famed and reputable families across the Four Seas.

But ever since Lin Qingyuan passed away from serious injuries, the Lin Family fell from grace, leaving only widows and orphans.

If not for living off his father’s military acclaim, how could this Young Marquis Lin enjoy the dignities of a noble?

Does he truly consider himself a remarkable hero?

Yet he dares in Shifang City’s Earth Realm, under the eyes of many, to act like such a bully.

The courtesan lying on the ground, albeit from a lowly origin, Shifang City has always valued human rights.

Even the girls from the brothel have dignity, having never been humiliated publicly like this.

She tearfully glared, trembling with anger: "Young Marquis Lin, acting this outrageously, don’t you fear tarnishing your father’s name?

I always thought the Lin Family was noble and dignified, being exceptional and virtuous.

Didn’t expect it would give birth to a villain like Young Marquis Lin, truly embarrassing for your Lin Family!"

"Who are you to mention my father!"

Lin Zheng seemed to have been hit on a sore spot, his expression turned even darker, as if thick smoke was billowing in his eyes, making them even redder, his demeanor increasingly insane.

Seeing the courtesan’s stubborn and hateful expression, Lin Zheng felt as if a raging fire was ignited in his heart, sneering sinisterly.

Ignoring the messy, dirty floor soaked with alcohol, he leaned over and straddled her, pressing her arms desperately above her head.

His drunken and reddened eyes had lost all rationality.

Right in front of everyone, he disregarded the woman’s tearful screams, his hand furiously tearing her disheveled clothing.

In a loss of sanity, he venomously said: "My father was a paragon, with distinguished accomplishments, praised for generations! Can a mere prostitute randomly comment on that?

A shameless wretch like you, what right do you have to put on airs before me, pretending to be noble!

Covered in dirt and filth, as long as there’s money, all may use your body; what are you pretending for?

Do you think I don’t have money? Hmm?! Believe it or not, I’ll take you here right now.

Let them see the debased and shameless wretch beneath your weak and harmless facade! Scream! Scream louder for me!"

Despite being pressed beneath him, the courtesan stared at him with venomous and fearful eyes, the overwhelming hatred coloring her vision red and tainting the detestable face before her.

Reaching this point, Baili An frowned, sensing something was seriously wrong.
