Chapter 59 - Brother Cui
Ring! Ring!
Inside the communication center building within Silvercove city, emergency phone calls came in one after another.
After the operators answered the emergency calls, they related some of the information to the main police department within Silvercove city while some went to the local hospitals.
"Hmm..." Senior Officer Luo frowned while reading the information displayed on the mobile data terminal in the car.
While seated beside Senior Officer Luo in the passenger seat, Officer Sara asks, "Are we heading over there, Senior Luo?"
"No, this gang fight is happening outside the city, in the southern outskirts. No matter how big the fight gets, the higher-ups have already warned all officers to stay out of the way." Senior Officer Luo stated.
In the backseat, Officer Xiao curiously asks, "There's a gang fight? Who is fighting?"
"The Chen Gang, Declan Gang, Yan Gang, and the Bloodmoon Gang. So many gangs have been involved. I'm afraid something big must have happened." Senior Officer Luo said with a sigh before adding, "It seems there will be some great storms within Silvercove."
At the same time, Officer Sara appeared unhappy hearing Estelle Xiao talking in the back.
Because of Estelle Xiao losing her firearm during her probation period, Senior Officer Luo was able to request the department to assign Estelle Xiao to their team.
Now she could no longer enjoy her time alone with Senior Officer Luo. It was not strange that she had become unhappy and moody because of this.
Unaware of Officer Sara's thoughts, Estelle Xiao frowned, "So many gangs? With so many parties involved, the number of casualties will not be small. If we don't interfere and stop them, a lot of people will die."
"I thought you were a righteous person? These gangs aren't good people anyway. So what if they fight and kill each other?" Officer Sara snickered before ridiculing, "By wanting to save them, aren't you just letting them harm more innocents after they are freed from their sentence? What a hypocrite."
"What are you talking about? Whether they are good or bad, these are lives we are talking about. An evil person can turn over a new leaf, but a life lost will be forever lost. As police officers, it is our duty to protect the people and uphold the law! Do you think human lives are cheap?"
"What are you, still a child? What kind of era are we living in? The law is only there to protect the privileged and be abused by them. Wake up, you self-righteous and ignorant woman."
"I don't think I have ever done anything to offend you. Why do you seem so against me?" Estelle Xiao frowned while containing her anger.
Officer Sara would naturally not confess her feelings in front of Senior Officer Luo; thus, she simply snorted, "Hmph!"
Senior Officer Luo immediately felt a headache coming once these two women began arguing with each other.
"The law can't protect everyone—not with this corruption that has spread throughout not only this country but the entire world. We can only pretend to maintain the order of the city when in truth, this order is as fragile as glass." Senior Officer Luo said while shaking his head despondently.
The world has become such a terrible place to live in—or rather, it had always been terrible. They just never realized what was happening in the world until it became more visible to the media.
Senior Officer Luo shortly turned around to face Officer Xiao before sternly warning, "Don't even think about heading over there, understand."
"…Understood, Senior Luo." Estelle Xiao said on the surface, but it was unknown what she was actually thinking inside her head.
Senior Luo could not see through her thoughts and could only frown, thinking he had to keep an eye on her before she gets herself killed one day.
At the same time, Officer Sara pouted at the amount of attention Officer Xiao received from Senior Officer Luo.
…
Southern Outskirts
"Darn it! Who attacked us?!" Reagan Declan dusted himself with one hand before gazing up at the people on the three-story building across the street with narrowed eyes.
Shortly after, his body shook in realization and cried, "It's Brother Cui from the Bloodmoon Gang!"
"Brother Cui, you say?!" Meng Yan exclaimed with a change in his calm expression some distance from Reagan Declan after overhearing his cry.
Their expressions both became heavy.
Brother Cui was the right-hand man of the Bloodmoong Gang's division leader in Silvercove. His strength was not the highest, but he was amongst the top rankers in Silverscove as a Level 9 Hunter.
The four gangs were subordinate gangs of the Bloodmoon Gang.
To subjugate the four gangs was a clear indication of challenging the Bloodmoon Gang's authority in Silvercove city.
However, they did not expect Brother Cui to have been secretly watching them from atop of the buildings this whole time and oversaw them playing the two-side card.
Should they quickly explain that their submission to the Chen Gang's new leader was not serious and obtain Brother Cui's pardon?
Alas, it might be too late, considering the Bloodmoon Gang tried to murder them.
More importantly, if the young man had made them submit openly while knowing all this to force them on his side, then the young man was more terrifying than they had imagined.
Although unaware of the two gang leaders' thoughts, Albion knew he had to reveal some more of his strength. Otherwise, they would not listen to him obediently and hold ill intentions, considering how easily they submitted.
"I will take care of this. Have the men stay back." After casually saying this, Albion made a powerful leap forward towards the top of the three-story building.
The jumping distance was not something ordinary people could achieve. Albion's leap astounded many, quickly reaching the third floor in height.
However, his jump still fell short—or at least, that was what everyone thought until black flames suddenly burst from the soles of Albion's feet and propelled him higher like thrusters, allowing him to leap overhead.
Due to the darkness of the night in the area, it looked like Albion performed an air kick before he flipped in the air and landed behind the Bloodmoon Gang's members.
"Wait!" Brother Cui quickly barked at his men with a raised hand, stopping them from attacking before he could ascertain the opponent's strength.
Even a Level 9 Hunter like him would not have scaled a three-story building so easily.
"Who the hell are you? No, what the heck are you?" He questioned with a wary gaze.
"It is I, Di—Ahem! No, never mind. " Albion smirked before shaking his head, "Forget it. You don't need to know that."
Brother Cui and the surrounding men were immediately confused by Albion's eccentric introduction that was not an introduction.
"Di? Oh, I know. D*ckhead, right?" One of the men laughed.
Albion was taken aback before his expression turned dark. Shortly after, he quickly flashed in front of the person disrespecting him with a raised hand.
Pak!
Before anyone could react, the person was slapped into oblivion. His head flew and drew an arc in the sky before dropping and rolling by Reagan Declan's feet—whether by Albion's intention or not.
Gulp!
Everyone was silenced in shock!
