Chapter 822
After a night of warfare, this foreign city was left battered and bruised. Though calm had returned, the lingering smell of gunpowder hung heavily in the air.
This was an unprecedented event. The law enforcement was furious, detesting the gang members and resolved to arrest the gang leaders, intending to make an example of them to teach a lesson to those who defied the law, demanding they pay the price for their actions.
Naturally, the Lone Wolf Gang and the Black Night Gang were targeted. It was they who stirred up trouble; there was no reason to let them off the hook. But unexpectedly, within just one night, the Black Night Gang had absorbed so many other gangs, significantly strengthening its forces and completely overtaking the Lone Wolf Gang to become the largest gang in the city.
Helen was surprised. Even with the city’s two major gangs in Organization X’s hands, they were no match for the current scale of the Black Night Gang, and she had this hunch that the Black Night Gang seemed to be expanding at all times, swallowing other gangs. If this continued, trouble was brewing.
Qiao Ya found it odd. The Black Night Gang’s rise to power was too rapid, too abnormal. An investigation into the gang’s background was necessary to identify who was currently in charge. Moreover, the Black Night Gang also seemed interested in the space-time door, not to seize it, but to destroy it. To achieve this goal, they were truly sparing no expense. If it weren’t for the Black Night Gang’s reckless behavior last night, such a massive incident wouldn’t have occurred.
At this moment, Helen received a call. It was from higher-ups in Organization X, instructing Helen, Qiao Ya, and Dong Ni to quickly retreat to avoid further loss of control.
Helen insisted they could not retreat, for to do so would be to hand over the space-time door to the enemy. It was crucial to remember that the enemy’s goal was not to seize but to destroy the space-time door. If they pulled out now, they could kiss the space-time door goodbye for good.
However, Qiao Ya also felt that now was the best time to retreat because the Black Night Gang could come for the Lone Wolf Gang at any moment, and then they wouldn’t be able to leave.
Helen disagreed. It was daytime, and she didn’t believe the Black Night Gang would make a move at this time, especially after the chaos of the previous night; they should be lying low.
