Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 1097: Chapter 1096: Finally Got to Indulge Myself!

If it weren’t for the fact that he was currently in the bustling district of a modern city, Fang Zheng would have thought he had time-traveled to some Martial Hero Fantasy world.

What era is this, and there are still people snatching women in broad daylight?

Is it really this low?

Then just when Fang Zheng was dumbfounded, the guy named Erkang had already been beaten up and was then dragged by the Black-clad Person in front of a young man. The young man glared fiercely at Erkang and spat coldly at him.

”Dare to go against me? Haven’t you inquired in Luoyang City about who Zhao Wei, the Little Swallow, is?”

”Pfft—!”

Hearing this, Fang Zheng could no longer hold back and spat out all the food in his mouth.

Oh my, what kind of ridiculous plot is this, Zhao Wei beating up Erkang and snatching Ruping... Hahaha...

For a moment, Fang Zheng even wanted to take out his phone and record it for the headlines, this would definitely be trending, definitely go viral!

What a pity... this isn’t my world!

”Sire... brother, are you okay?”

Seeing Fang Zheng spit out, His Majesty quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it over, while Fang Zheng waved his hand.

”I’m fine, I’m fine, just choked a bit... cough cough...”

Since Fang Zheng and His Majesty were sitting at the stall next door, their conversation naturally caught the attention of that man named Zhao Wei. He turned his head and gave Fang Zheng a fierce glare, but upon seeing His Majesty, his eyes lit up, and he immediately released the woman named Ruping and walked over with a grin.

”Hey, this little lady is quite cute, how about having a drink with us?”

”Ugh...”

Seeing this man reeking of alcohol, His Majesty immediately hid behind Fang Zheng in fright, while Fang Zheng sat there, coldly staring at him.

”I advise you to take your people and scram.”

”What did you say?”

Upon hearing Fang Zheng’s words, Zhao Wei’s eyes widened, showing an arrogant expression.

”Do you know who I am? I’m Zhao Wei, and my uncle is the Grand Eunuch Zhao Gao of the current dynasty!”

”......”

Hearing this, Fang Zheng was stunned.

Your uncle dared to take that name? Does he not know how Zhao Gao died?

The people here really have no survival instincts...

”I know Zhao Gao...”

At this moment, His Majesty quietly tugged on Fang Zheng’s sleeve and whispered.

”That’s the one who set conditions with Imperial Brother earlier...”

Oh, that fat-headed, big-eared fellow who seems doomed soon enough...

Seeing their expressions, Zhao Wei thought he had intimidated them with his connections and sneered, reaching out toward His Majesty.

”Come, little lady, let’s have a drink together. You haven’t been to a place like this, right? Let me take good care of you...”

”You’re not my brother!”

Seeing Zhao Wei’s extended hand, His Majesty hurriedly dodged back.

”He’s my Imperial... brother!”

”Don’t say that, little lady, we just don’t know each other well enough. Once you realize how great I am, you will— ahhh ahhh ahhh!!!”

However, Zhao Wei couldn’t finish his sentence because Fang Zheng grabbed his wrist and squeezed hard, and the next moment Zhao Wei screamed and kneeled on the ground.

What should I say at this point?

Holding Zhao Wei’s wrist, Fang Zheng looked at this arrogant second-generation, contemplating. Should he follow the script of a Martial Hero novel to uphold justice or go with an urban hero-saving-the-damsel script? But on second thought, Ruping already has a boyfriend, which is a poison point in urban novels unless her boyfriend is quite talented... However, I don’t need to play the urban conquest game...

”Let him go, you bastard!”

Just as Fang Zheng was contemplating whether to act directly or follow the procedure, Zhao Wei’s other lackeys rushed over angrily. However, they only saw Fang Zheng slightly flick his right hand, and the next moment, these unlucky guys felt as if they had been hit by an iron hammer in the chest, flying backward and lying on the ground, unable to get up while wailing.

”Please, please let me go. I didn’t recognize a great person...”

Seeing his minions instantly taken down, Zhao Wei lost his previous bravado and immediately started pleading for mercy. Fang Zheng merely glanced at him before casually releasing him.

”Scram.”

”Yes, I’ll scram, scram right away!”

After saying this, Zhao Wei quickly turned and ran, not even caring about his companions on the ground. Seeing the leader abandon them, the remaining lackeys didn’t dare to stay long, helping each other up and limping away as fast as they could.

At this time, a crowd had gathered around, but they were all watching from a distance, not daring to come closer. Even the owner of the snack stand, who sensed trouble earlier, had bolted. Only the couple over there supported each other as they made their way over.

”Th-thank you so much...”

”No problem, it was nothing.”

Fang Zheng looked regretfully at the woman in front of him, silently sighing in his heart.

Looks like there’s no hope of hearing, ”I have no way of repaying you, so I’ll offer myself to you.”

”If you want to thank me, then tell me what really happened. I’m quite interested in it.”

Spectating is human nature, and Fang Zheng was no exception. With a chance for gossip, he wouldn’t let it slip by.

Upon hearing Fang Zheng’s inquiry, the couple exchanged a troubled glance, and finally, it was the woman named Ruping who spoke first.

It turned out that Miss Ruping was quite the lady of high standing, while her boyfriend was just an ordinary company employee. Today, Ruping had come to the karaoke bar with several friends to sing. On her way back from the restroom, she ran into Zhao Wei and his group, who shamelessly insisted on following her to her booth.

Of course, Ruping and her friends refused, but Zhao Wei appeared to have significant influence, and even the owner of the karaoke bar didn’t dare to stop him. In desperation, Ruping had no choice but to call her boyfriend for help.

When Erkang arrived, Zhao Wei had already smashed the karaoke booth door and was intending to proceed.

Erkang clearly did not want to see his partner being taken advantage of, so he rolled up his sleeves and charged at Zhao Wei.

If this were the protagonist of an urban novel, he would definitely showcase divine might, and give those spoiled rich kids a good beating. Unfortunately, Erkang lacked the protagonist’s aura. Instead, he got beaten up and tossed out, which led to the scene Fang Zheng saw.

”Well, that does have a bit of an urban story flavor to it.”

After listening to the woman’s account, Fang Zheng nodded with satisfaction. Initially, watching that scene, he thought this world’s culture still lingered in the Martial Hero era. But seeing it now, even forcible abduction still has a modern urban vibe, which reassured his values.

”Alright, you guys can leave. We also...”

As he spoke, Fang Zheng glanced at the now-inedible spicy hotpot and sighed helplessly.

”Forget it. Let’s go have crossing-the-bridge noodles.”

”Wee-ooh wee-ooh—wee-ooh wee-ooh—!!”

Just as Fang Zheng was about to leave with His Majesty, sirens suddenly blared, and several police cars sped over, blocking their path. Soon, several heavily armed police officers disembarked, weapons in hand, staring sternly at Fang Zheng.

”We just received a report saying there was an armed robbery and assault. Was that you?”

”We...we didn’t commit any robbery...”

Seeing the police surrounding them, His Majesty was too scared to move, clinging close behind Fang Zheng.

”Nonsense, are you trying to deny it? We have a witness!”

As the police officer spoke, he turned his head to look at a car in the back.

”Mr. Zhao Wei, is it them?”

”That’s right, it’s them!”

Zhao Wei stuck his head out of the car window, glaring menacingly at Fang Zheng and His Majesty.

”I was just trying to help, but who knew this man suddenly grabbed me, threw me to the ground, and took all my money...”

”You—you’re full of nonsense!”

Hearing Zhao Wei’s completely fabricated story, His Majesty trembled with rage.

”You were the one trying to bully me first, and...our brother stopped you. He didn’t take anything of yours!”

”Ha, when I say you robbed, you robbed.”

As he spoke, Zhao Wei glanced at the police officer.

”What do you think?”

”Of course we’ll take them back. Daring to commit robbery in public is a very serious crime!”

With that, the police officer waved his right hand.

”Take them back! If they resist, execute them on the spot!”

”Bro...brother...”

Upon hearing this, His Majesty’s face turned pale, but Fang Zheng just smiled, reached out, and patted her hand.

”Don’t worry, leave it to me.”

As he spoke, Fang Zheng looked forward, shaking his hands slightly.

Tsk tsk tsk, this is something he’s only seen in urban novels. Back in the day, Fang Zheng fantasized about such a scene, but of course, in the real world, such outrageous things just wouldn’t happen. What a surprise to encounter this now!

Finally, I get to have some fun with it!
