Crossing to the Future, it's Not Easy to Be a Man Chapter 1450

“Heh, what do you mean by that, Lord Gen?” The district mayor had a surprised look on his face, as if he didn't understand what Ling Lan was talking about.

“You know very well what I am talking about and so does Lord Qian. That's why he let you people live in the 11th Preserve District all this time. Am I wrong?” Ling Lan's eyes stared into the eyes of the district mayor. The shapeless pressure she exuded pressure him to the point where a thin layer of sweat formed over the district mayor's forehead.

The district mayor's breathing got rapid in shorter intervals. With Ling Lan's force of presence that was half-step into the G.o.d-realm, even if he used all of his body's strength to resist, it wouldn't be of any use.

Right as the district mayor felt that he was about to cave in from Ling Lan's pressure, the mountain-like pressure disappeared. Not expecting it, he overexerted himself by using all of his power to resist against nothing. He groaned and a mouthful of blood shot out from his mouth. He lost a lot of his energy as he slipped on his chair.

Ling Lan's force of presence was controlled perfectly. The force that was put on the district mayor didn't affect the chair one bit. She also didn't give him any chance to resist the force.

Diyi looked at Ling Lan with fear in his eyes. However, he didn't dare to move an inch. That was because at that moment, Luo Lang's right hand was holding his right shoulder with an index finger perking up slightly on the artery on his neck. If he even moved a single inch, his neck would be punctured.

The district mayor understood the dangerous situation he was in. He realized he wouldn't live to see the next day if he did not do what Lord Gen wanted him to do.

When he raised his head to look at Ling Lan again, the calmness in his eyes disappeared and instead, it was replaced with fear.

“Tell me and perhaps you will have a chance to take your revenge,” Ling Lan closed her eyes and said indifferently.

“Giving it to you is no different than giving it to him.” The reason the district mayor could become the most authoritative figure of the district was because he was the strongest both mentally and physically. Even in front of Lord Gen, he immediately calmed his steel nerves and replied in a normal tone.

“But you hate him very much, don't you,” Ling Lan said nonchalantly. “Are you willing to die just like this?”

“Bringing him down with you before you die and cause civil unrest within the lords. As long as there's this possibility, don't you want to try it out?” Ling Lan spoke slowly in a mild-mannered tone. It was as though she was making a suggestion to an old friend.

The district mayor could be seen struggling internally. He realized he was slowly moved by those devilish words. It was just as Ling Lan had said. He didn't want to die without doing anything significant. Even if he had to die, he must bring the most hated enemy of the Lawless Lands down with him.

“Heh, maybe you are working with them. Wouldn't me telling you be the same as telling him?” The district mayor wasn't going to tell their secret that easily, especially when this secret was going to dictate the future of the Lawless Lands and the original natives of the Lawless Lands. He wouldn't expose the secret until he had no other choice.

Ling Lan half-smiled as she looked at the district mayor and said slowly, “I think you are mistaken about something. You don't have a choice.”

“My mecha army is just right outside the district. If you don't tell me, I will raze and burn down your district to the ground. Once I wreck everything you hold dear in your heart, I'll go find what I want personally, even if I can't find it, I'm sure I'll get some clues. Plus…” Ling Lan turned towards Diyi. “Perhaps there are people who are willing to use it in exchange to have a chance to live.”

Ling Lan's words caused the district mayor and Diyi to visibly panic. Yet, the district mayor looked at Diyi and then turned towards Ling Lan, “You don't need to waste your time. Only I know this secret.”

Ling Lan calmly looked at her hand and said, “I'm a person who loves to gamble.”

Then, she leaned towards the district mayor and smiled. “How about we bet on it?”

After Ling Lan finished speaking, Luo Lang's hand, that was now holding Diyi's throat, began tightening his grip.

“Ugh… ugh… ugh…” Diyi tried his best to struggle, but how could he get out of the vice-like grip? He used all of his might to open his mouth, as if he was trying to say something.

“Stop!” In the end, the district mayor lost in the bet.

Looking at him trying to stop Luo Lang, Ling Lan smirked in delight . Seeing that smirk, Luo Lang's hand loosened around Diyi's throat.
