Urban: It turns out this is a comprehensive world

Luo Lingtian had the waiter bring over some delicate pastries and a few bottles of mild-tasting foreign liquor. The group then sat around the sofa and chatted. Luo Lingtian mostly listened quietly, occasionally interjecting a few words when the conversation reached a crucial point. He also quite agreed with Wang Hao's views.

After achieving fame and success, Luo Lingtian sometimes wondered: Why do so many wealthy and powerful young men in urban novels, whether playboys or so-called virtuous men, like to book a private room in a bar for a long time?

He could understand it if it were a playboy, since bars are a perfect place for them to hunt for women. But he couldn't understand why the big shots in novels, who remained virtuous even after achieving success, would always choose bars as their meeting place.

Logically speaking, such people's social circles should pay more attention to quality and privacy. Even if there are one or two party-loving people among their acquaintances, they wouldn't choose noisy places like bars for every gathering.

Since they are not interested in women and are not looking for romantic encounters, they can find a quiet and upscale private club or tea room for a gathering. This way, they can have a good chat and ensure privacy, which is much more suitable than a bar.

Anyway, Luo Lingtian couldn't understand this setup. The reason he brought everyone to the bar today was simply because he hadn't had a proper get-together with these brothers in a long time, and after having dinner together, no one wanted to just leave like that.

In addition, Qin Yu and the other four had just returned from a long mission abroad, and had been training their subordinates and handling work at a high intensity, so they were quite exhausted both physically and mentally. Luo Lingtian thought of bringing them here to relax, which is why they decided to come to Mingyue Bar on the spur of the moment.

"You guys chat first, I'm going to the restroom."

The group chatted and drank in a very harmonious atmosphere. Most of the time, Qin Yu and others who had just returned from abroad recounted the thrilling experiences and interesting anecdotes they encountered during their missions, and Luo Lingtian listened attentively.

Midway through the conversation, he stood up, said something to everyone, and then walked alone towards the restroom outside the private room.

Having just emerged from the men's restroom and straightened his clothes, Luo Lingtian suddenly heard a sharp, angry shout, filled with fear, coming from the direction of the women's restroom next door: "What do you think you're doing? This is Mingyue Bar! I'm warning you, get out of here!"

Upon hearing this reprimand, Luo Lingtian's brows furrowed tightly, and he instinctively stopped in his tracks.

Immediately afterwards, a mocking and lewd male voice rang out, its tone flippant and arrogant: "Heh heh, so what if it's Bright Moon Bar? It's still a bar, isn't it? What are you pretending to be, some innocent maiden?"

The man paused, a hint of sarcasm in his voice, "Since you came to the bar, wasn't it to find rich guys and seek thrills? What, we brothers came to you, and you're not happy? You look down on us?"

Then came the woman's increasingly fierce resistance and angry shouts, mixed with the man's laughter and pulling sounds; the scene was clearly out of control.

"Tsk, in the end, they still couldn't escape the temptation." Luo Lingtian clicked his tongue lightly, his eyes darkening. "No matter how strict the rules are, Mingyue Bar can't completely eliminate this kind of sordid behavior."

He quickly looked around and found that the restroom was located in a secluded corner of the corridor, with no other customers passing by and no bar staff patrolling.

More importantly, there doesn't seem to be any surveillance equipment installed in this area. That makes sense, since it's impossible to install surveillance equipment in a restroom to protect guests' privacy, but this gives such people an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Lingtian strode toward the women's restroom. He knew very well that although Mingyue Bar had rules against such coercive behavior, it was only permissible if it was discovered by the staff.

In the current situation, with no one around, if he chooses to stand idly by, even if the woman calls the police or tells the bar staff afterward, those men might be punished accordingly, but the harm and humiliation the woman has suffered can never be undone, and her innocence will be ruined.

For Luo Lingtian, it was impossible for him to sit idly by when faced with such a situation.

"Hey you guys, aren't you completely disregarding the rules of Bright Moon Bar?"

A dull thud echoed down the corridor as the door was kicked open. The solid wood door to the women's restroom, which had been locked from the inside by the three thugs, crumbled like paper under Luo Lingtian's kick, with shattered lock parts flying to the ground.

The scene inside the door instantly came into view: three sleazy-looking youths were harassing a woman. The one with yellow hair, who was the leader, was holding the woman's wrist tightly, while another with green hair was grabbing her skirt and tearing it with force. The tearing sound of the fabric was harsh and unpleasant. A bald man was reaching out to pull off the woman's shawl, clearly intending to take off all her clothes.

The woman surrounded in the middle had a beautiful figure, and her wine-red dress accentuated her curves. Her skin was as white as snow, and her face was gorgeous. But at this moment, her face was full of fear, her eyes were red, and she struggled desperately but could not break free from the three men's grip.

"Where did this arrogant brat come from? Daring to meddle in my business? Are you tired of living?"

The sudden sound of the door being kicked open startled everyone inside. The three thugs' faces instantly filled with anger at being interrupted, their brows furrowed, and their eyes filled with ferocity as they looked towards the door.

The woman being pulled seemed to have grabbed onto a piece of driftwood while drowning. Her previously desperate eyes suddenly lit up, and she stared intently at Luo Lingtian, her face revealing an undisguised hope. Her lips moved, as if she wanted to shout, but fear prevented her from making a complete sound.

"Do you know who I am?" The blond-haired man released his grip on the woman's wrist, patted his chest, and slowly turned around with the other two thugs, looking at Luo Lingtian with hostile expressions.

The three men approached in a fan shape, their steps dragging yet exuding an arrogant and domineering air. The blond-haired man's eyes were full of arrogance, as if Luo Lingtian was just an ant he could crush at will.

"I don't know." Luo Lingtian said calmly, his gaze sweeping over the three men's cheap tattoos and nonchalant attitudes. His voice was completely unwavering. "But I do know that if you cause trouble at Mingyue Bar, you'll suffer a terrible fate."

Seeing the three of them acting so arrogantly, Luo Lingtian couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

The reputation of Mingyue Bar is well-known even among ordinary people in Haishi, let alone someone like him who has been in contact with the upper class for many years.

The rules at this bar are so strict that they are unique among all the entertainment venues in the city. Not to mention the despicable act of forcibly pulling women, even loud noises and disturbances will be immediately "asked" to leave by security guards. No one dares to cause trouble here.

Luo Lingtian thought to himself, these three thugs in front of him are probably not clueless outsiders who don't know anything about Mingyue Bar. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to act so recklessly here even if they had a hundred lives.

As his thoughts raced, he became increasingly certain of the three men's origins. He knew that the Bright Moon Bar's stringent rules, such as "No provoking trouble, no harassing women, and no drunken brawls," were not just empty words.

Looking across the entire entertainment venues of the Dragon Kingdom, very few can truly implement the rules and make customers willingly abide by them. Without a strong enough background and absolute power, who would dare to establish such rules?

Gambling, prostitution, and drugs are strictly prohibited throughout the entire territory of China. This is the bottom line, and there is no need to elaborate further.

But a place like Mingyue Bar, which has zero tolerance for even minor physical altercations and verbal harassment, must be backed by a powerful force. Although Luo Lingtian doesn't frequent entertainment venues, he is well aware of the ins and outs of this place. The backer of Mingyue Bar is the Dongfang family, one of the three top families in the central region of the Dragon Kingdom.

This news is not unfounded. When Mingyue Bar first opened, a few gangs of thugs who didn't believe in the rules tried to defy them, but were swiftly suppressed by the Dongfang family. Their leader was crippled and imprisoned for life.

That battle silenced all those who coveted the Bright Moon Bar and questioned its rules, and the background of the Dongfang family spread throughout the entire city and even the surrounding areas.

It is precisely because of the support of the Dongfang family that guests at Mingyue Bar can feel so at ease.

After all, the Dongfang family's strength is among the top tier even in the entire Dragon Kingdom, and no one dares to risk their future and life to challenge the Dongfang family's prestige.

"Hey, what a reckless fool!" Seeing Luo Lingtian standing there unmoved, showing no fear whatsoever, the blond-haired man was enraged and laughed coldly. He pointed a finger at Luo Lingtian, his tone extremely arrogant, "I don't know if I'll be in big trouble, but I guarantee you'll be in big trouble right now!"

Before he could finish speaking, Huang Mao launched the first attack, his right leg slamming into the ground as he lunged forward like a cannonball. His fist, as big as a casserole dish, whistled through the air as it aimed straight for Luo Lingtian's face.

The green-haired guy and the bald guy behind him were not to be outdone. The green-haired guy bent down, grabbed a mop from the corner, and swung it at Luo Lingtian's waist and abdomen with both hands. The bald guy opened his arms, trying to hug Luo Lingtian from the side. The three of them worked together seamlessly, clearly habitual offenders who often caused trouble together.

"Watch out!" Inside the restroom, the woman screamed in alarm upon seeing this scene, looking at Luo Lingtian with a worried expression.

However, Luo Lingtian remained completely unfazed by the three men's attack. As a martial arts master at the Dan Jin realm, he considered these three thugs no different from three ants.

The Dan Jin realm, where internal energy transforms into a dan (a type of medicinal pill), allows one to penetrate the body and injure the enemy. Every move they make carries immense power, making dealing with street thugs a piece of cake.

Just as the blond-haired man's fist was about to smash into his face, Luo Lingtian slightly shifted his body, dodging the powerful punch as if he were taking a leisurely stroll.

At the same time, his right hand shot out like lightning, accurately grabbing the blond-haired man's wrist. With a slight force from his fingertips, a crisp "crack" was heard, and the blond-haired man's wrist bone was crushed.
