After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 158

When they arrived they saw two middle-aged men—one caucasian and one copper-skinned—glaring at each other with red eyes.

"Why are you so rude?"

"Why are YOU so rude?"

"I didn’t do anything!" The dark-skinned man said, frowned, and looked around. "I was just buying things from this stall, and he suddenly scoffed at me and mumbled rude things."

"You were laughing first! I worked hard for this!" The caucasian said, raising his voice, and the dark-skinned man looked at him indignantly.

"What? I didn’t laugh—"

"You saw my items and you laughed at it!" the stall owner, the blonde man in his late 40s, yelled. "I didn’t force you to buy it!"

The dark-skinned man frowned, but his fist clenched, thinking there was no explaining to this guy. The fact that he was on the receiving end of nagging-with-saliva splatter was making him red in annoyance.

Maybe he should just punch him in the face????

However, he had just clenched his fist and was about to raise his arm when a new person suddenly appeared between them.

He was a bit tall with tanned skin. He had an average face, but his stature was authoritative.

"Excuse me," Jun said with a neutral smile. "I know it’s not my place to intervene, but from what I’ve been hearing there seems to be a misunderstanding."

"Who are you?" They spat, glaring at him simultaneously. Any other would have been intimidated, but Jun remained unfazed.

"My name is Jun. I’m new here… I also worked in the legislative sector back in Terran." He said, "I may be able to give an outsider’s perspective.

His brown eyes landed on the clenched fist. "There’s no need to go physical with this argument. Please remember that fighting isn’t allowed in the territory. We don’t want to be blacklisted, right?"

This made the two men pause, shoulders slumping a little. _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}

"May I know what happened?" He said, standing straight, looking even taller.

Although he was prying, his stance was firm and poised, and unconsciously the two men saw him as an authoritative figure.

"He laughed at my craft."

"I didn’t! I swear. I even admired it a bit! It’s just that I remembered some things…"

Jun smiled. "It seemed that there really was a misunderstanding."

The angry man flushed a bit, not just of embarrassment but also of some memories.

"I’m sorry, it’s just that my daughter—" the blonde man paused. "It’s my daughter’s technique. My daughter taught me this."

The other man’s stance softened and just patted the other man’s shoulder. "I also have a daughter, but I don’t know where she is now." he said, "The memory I remembered…

"My reaction wasn’t a sneer… I remembered my daughter was also fond of this… it was a generational thing, I suppose."

The other man couldn’t help but smile a little, "The things they get obsessed by at that age…"

And the two actually started talking about the habits of their daughters’ generation. There was even a bit of laughter at the end.

And the conflict was over, just like that.

As the couple walked home, he noticed his wife had been silent the whole time, but also giving him furtive glances here and there.

Jun raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"

"I’m thinking… maybe we could recommend a legal team?" His wife asked him, "The guard had said the system was open for suggestions. It may even award contribution points if it was worth it."

Jun was taken aback, but was also very interested. "That… might work."

Joanna smiled and proudly lifted her head. "I’m looking for a job with Gaea Restaurant. Mr. Harold said I was a good cook and have a lot of potential. I’m already on the final interview!"

Jun was surprised. He didn’t know this. "Wow! Congratulations!" he said, grabbing his wife’s hand with pride.
