Chapter 487 - 318: Playing with People’s Hearts (Part 2)
Yesterday, although Lin Lang managed to fend off the Church Court’s minions, she couldn’t imagine the consequences of facing such a powerful Cardinal.
She was anxious and searched everywhere for Lin Lang’s figure.
Only to discover!
Lin Lang was already standing alone at the hotel entrance!
Quietly awaiting the arrival of the Church Court members!
...
The Cardinal stood at the hotel entrance, looking down on Lin Lang, his eyes full of disdain.
He slightly raised his chin and said in a mocking tone:
"Hmph, so you are the Oriental kid daring to oppose the Church Court? Judging by your appearance, you are just an ignorant brat. Today, I will make you pay dearly for your foolish actions, so you may know how terrifying it is to offend the Church Court."
As he spoke, he slowly raised his hand!
The red cape flapped in the wind, and the surrounding air seemed to grow oppressive due to his actions.

Lin Lang remained calm, quietly listening to the Cardinal’s harsh words, a faint cool smile curling his lips.
He casually stepped forward, and his aura suddenly surged:
"You think you can make me pay?"
...
"Heretic! Courting death!"
The Cardinal was utterly incensed by Lin Lang’s attitude!
He shouted loudly!
In an instant!
A thick red glow appeared around his body, runes faintly flickering within, clearly indicating the casting of some powerful magic.
As the magic activated, the ground began to tremble slightly, and the surrounding air became scorching hot, as if it were about to ignite!
Before long!
Huge fireballs materialized out of thin air, plunging down like meteors from the sky!
With a thunderous roar!
They crashed toward the Audrey Grand Hotel!
"Oh my god!"
The people inside the hotel looked up at all this, feeling as if doomsday had arrived!
...
However!
Lin Lang showed no trace of fear.
He extended his hand!
Releasing a massive Spiritual Energy Shield, protecting the Audrey Hotel!
Bang bang bang!
All the fireballs landed on the shield!
Flames splattered!
Yet the hotel remained unscathed!
...
Then!
A cold glint flashed in Lin Lang’s eyes, and he vanished like a phantom from his original spot!
When he reappeared, he was already in front of the Cardinal.
"What?!"
The Cardinal hadn’t even had time to react!
Lin Lang’s fist blasted out like a cannonball!
With a whistling sound, it struck hard into the Cardinal’s chest—
Bang!
A heavy, muffled sound!
"Ah!"
The Cardinal’s body flew backward like a kite with a broken string!
Tracing an arc in the air!
Finally crashing heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust!
...
"What!"
The surrounding Church Court personnel were stunned!
They couldn’t believe—
The respected and powerful Cardinal within the Church Court!
Was beaten into such a sorry state with just one punch from Lin Lang!
The Cardinal struggled to climb up from the ground, a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of shock and anger:
"Heretic! Today, the gates of Hell will surely open for you! Heaven’s Thunder descends..."
He still wanted to continue his attack!
But Lin Lang didn’t give him a chance—
Lin Lang’s figure flickered, closing in once more!
Launching a storm-like barrage of punches and kicks at the Cardinal:
"Heretic, is it?"
"Heaven’s Thunder, is it?"
"Church Court, is it?"
"Mighty, is it?"
...
His fists and feet rained down like a storm!
Each blow carried great power, rendering the Cardinal completely defenseless.
"Ow! Ow ow! Ow—"
The Cardinal could only use his arms to shield his head, retreating constantly under Lin Lang’s assault!
His body was full of bruises and scars.
"This... This is impossible!"
Someone in the crowd couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
Everyone’s eyes widened, watching the unbelievable scene unfold before them.
They originally thought—
The moment the Cardinal took action, Lin Lang would stand no chance!
But unexpectedly!
The situation completely reversed, and the Cardinal was beaten like a stray dog by Lin Lang!
...
Under Lin Lang’s relentless assault!
The Cardinal finally couldn’t hold on, collapsing to his knees with a "thud."
His red cape was tattered, his hair was disheveled, and his face was filled with pain and humiliation:
"Stop, stop the beating! I beg you!"
...
Lin Lang stood before him, coldly looking down, and said:
"Remember, don’t provoke me or my people again, or next time it won’t be this simple."
The whole place fell into a deathly silence!
Everyone was so shocked by Lin Lang’s terrifying power that they were rendered speechless!
...
Seeing the Cardinal’s defeat, the Church Court members fled like startled birds!
But how could they swallow this humiliation!
They soon issued a fierce warning—
That until Lin Lang surrendered to the Church Court, they would cease supplying survival goods to the city’s residents.
...
As soon as this news broke!
Phantom Star City fell into chaos instantly!
The supply of essential resources like food and water became precarious!
Panic spread like a virus—
And the uninformed citizens, under the malicious guidance of the Church Court, directed all their anger towards Lin Lang.
They believed it was Lin Lang’s reckless actions that led to the current predicament!
Thus, they joined the ranks in boycotting the Audrey Grand Hotel.
The once bustling hotel entrance now stood desolate, with only a few passersby pointing fingers at the hotel, faces full of disgust.
Inside the hotel, the situation was equally dire.
The staff lived in fear every day, worried that working at the hotel would make them targets for the Church Court.
