"A disgrace!"

Chief Inspector Davis of Proluo State watched the frozen image on the projection screen.

His gaze was fixed on the street displayed on the screen, where a great many corpses lay scattered haphazardly…

Rage turned his eyes blood red.

His neatly trimmed beard, uncontrollably, bristled like steel needles.

To the left and right of the conference table, thirteen patrol inspectors and senior patrol inspectors all hung their heads low.

They knew that anything they said now would only add fuel to the fire.

In Proluo State City, there had never been such a violent criminal case in thirty years.

Not to mention the six hundred dead private soldiers of the Sky Wolf Fund.

And the over thirty corpses on the ninth floor of the Golden Light Building.

But the nearly five hundred patrol police who died at the entrance of the building was an unbearable pain.

It was not someone else, it was the patrol police.

They not only represented the authority of Proluo State's ruling authorities.

But also the image of the Sky Hawk Alliance.

Being shot down in the street, in front of everyone, in front of all countries, ruthlessly trampling the face of the Sky Hawk Alliance union right underfoot.

The one who committed this unforgivable act was none other than a Yellow man, a person from Zhuxia.

It was utterly unbearable.

If they could not restore this honor and capture and execute that man, to show the world, they dare not think of wearing these black uniforms anymore, and everyone would be punished.

They might very well spend the second half of their lives acting out a prison drama.

"William, by tomorrow noon, I want you to muster the troops and seal off Luosheng Street completely. Let no suspicious person pass. Don't worry about lacking weaponry or equipment. This time, headquarters has already coordinated with Laboratory 78 to arrange a batch of secret weapons."

After Davis had thrown his temper.

He finally realized that action had to be taken. Heavy pressures from above bore down on him, and though it was dangerous, it was also an opportunity.

If this crisis were handled perfectly, executing that peerless criminal on the spot, his own position might just be up for consideration.

Of course, this was very difficult.

As a member of the police service, Davis had not been spared from war. Twelve years ago, he had come from the Kuangsha Legion, initially retiring due to injuries as a much-decorated hero experienced in the bloody storms of the battlefield, and acquainted with those characters far beyond ordinary people.

As for this target.

He hadn't taken it very seriously from the start.

The cleanup operation against assassins in Dongjiang, in his eyes, was nothing more than child's play.

Commanding a city's police force, dealing with just a few assassins.

Whoever took it on wouldn't find it too difficult.

But, one does not know until one goes through it.

When the opponent actually came to his jurisdiction.

Zhou Ping'an, appearing as an enemy, suddenly made him feel profoundly powerless.

'Is this still a human?'

Even though he had mobilized thousands of armed patrol officers and the Special Combat Squad this time, he still didn't feel confident.

To be on the safe side.

He also requested headquarters for some special equipment.

Over the years, those secret weapons had been primarily equipped in the military, and ordinary local security departments generally did not need such extremely powerful weapons. It wasn't that they couldn't be obtained, but rather that there was no need.

But now, it was necessary.

Following the Puli Street massacre, the seasoned and cautious Davis ordered all records of Zhou Ping'an, both overt and covert, real, and fabricated, to be checked once again.

Thus, he discovered the image data from the outer city battle between Zhou Ping'an and the Blood Eagle Commander.

The true strength of the Blood Eagle had never been tested, so it was uncertain what kind of fierce bird it was.

But, from the image data and judging from the might and reverberations of the battle, it was tentatively estimated that the bird was quite possibly a "S" rank Ferocious Beast.

While Zhou Ping'an entangled with it, always fleeing, during direct confrontations, he was at a disadvantage, and only by utilizing various methods to weaken the fierce bird's capabilities could he finally decapitate it and achieve victory.

But no matter what, he faced a Commander Rank "S" rank fierce bird.

The level of strength was there and should by no means be underestimated.

Such a level of mutated fierce birds and beasts, even if encountered by an army, would be very troublesome.

Yet, it had died at the hands of a Zhuxia Police officer.

If it were in the past.

Including Davis, everyone would think that video was definitely faked, just a well-performed stage play.

They might even speculate, what conspiracy was at work? Were they staging another deification scheme?

But, after the battle on Puli Street.

No one dared to think that way anymore.

All seemingly false, absurdly video materials.

They could only be treated as real to counter them.

"At least, that person is a Quasi-S Rank master, with combat achievements that cannot be overlooked. William, after acquiring those weapons, do you have the confidence to capture the opponent?"

"Chief, no matter how strong that yellow-skinned monkey is, after all, he is not a Ferocious Beast. As long as he dares to attempt assassination, I can't say for sure that we can capture him alive, but there's about a seventy to eighty percent chance that he will die.

My only concern is that Ping'an and Zhou Ming know this is a trap and do not approach Aier Manor. If this happens, things will become extremely troublesome,"

William responded solemnly.

His voice was extremely deep, making the conference room buzz as he spoke.

Despite Williams's imposing appearance, with a neck thicker than his head, resembling a brute.

Nobody present underestimates him, as he is bold yet meticulous in his dealings, always leaving some margin even in minor cases, and never speaks absolute terms.

He said there was a seventy to eighty percent chance.

So, at least, it would be over ninety percent.

Regarding his concerns, a lean, mixed-race middle-aged man next to him chuckled and spoke, "No need to worry about Ping'an and Zhou not showing up. I've thoroughly studied this person's way of handling things. One result I've gathered is that this person is straightforward, seemingly never understanding the notions of compromise and circumvention."

"On one hand, it's because his strength truly does not require too many tactics; on the other hand, it is out of desperation."

"Oh, does Richard have any new findings?"

The speaker was the Chief Inspector in charge of case analysis and profiling, possessing unique expertise under his leadership, having solved numerous major cases.

Needless to say, he's sharp-minded.

Moreover, most importantly, Richard has a deep research interest in Eastern culture.

This time, for the pre-war meeting that gathered everyone, Chief Inspector Davis also aimed to harness everyone's intelligence to handle the matter perfectly.

Because, from the beginning, he felt some unease.

There was always a sense of impending disaster lurking deep within his soul.

Although not much of a believer in spirits,

Davis still felt it shouldn't be underestimated. He hoped to manage everything perfectly.

Richard pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up the bridge of his nose and spoke slowly: "Because he doesn't have time."

Without waiting for everyone's questions, he continued, "This person was originally an ordinary Police Security officer, just graduated from college, with no astonishing record. But ever since a relic theft case, he has been transformed, as if he skyrocketed overnight."

"News from Dongjiang indicates that Ping'an and Zhou surely received some extraordinary benefits from the relic case. And it's precisely due to this reason that Taihe Pharmaceuticals encountered a catastrophic disaster, even two A-Rank masters of Eternal Life Group died in Dongjiang City."

"When such a miracle arises, as an ally of Taihe Pharmaceuticals, wouldn't Eternal Life Group get involved? It's like lice on the forehead, too obvious not to notice."

"Eternal Life Group has not yet targeted them, likely tied down by that matter, perhaps also waiting for a sure win, not wanting to miss out on the benefits. But no matter what, they definitely will not give up, nor will they ignore the death of the group's important masters."

"Faced with this situation, Ping'an and Zhou are clearly aware, thus, from the beginning, they were racing against time, not only sweeping all hostile forces in Dongjiang City but also insubordinately taking control over all the police forces of Dongjiang Police Security. Simultaneously, they made every effort to intimidate and eliminate all Dark Web assassins, rushing to Proluo State nonstop, intending to resolve the bounty issue first..."

Richard paused here, asking, "From these events, can you all perceive the madness and urgency of this Dongjiang Police Security? If you understand this, you will know what he really wants."

Extraordinary benefits?

It was the first time the others had heard this news.

Some people's eyes sparkled with greed.

Davis coughed loudly,

His expression somewhat discontented.

Thinking, already being forced into a tight spot, yet still so greedy; are they not afraid of dying quicker?

He cleared his throat in acknowledgement of Richard's analysis,

"Indeed, he must quickly capture Johnson to resolve the bounty issue. It's all about racing against time, he can't afford delays. Unsurprisingly, a large part of Eternal Life Group's top masters are about to arrive in Dongjiang."

Davis had to acknowledge this fact as well.

Within the Sky Hawk Alliance, Eternal Life Group could be considered a top-ranking behemoth, supported by numerous financial tycoons.

Compared to Proluo State's strength, it was like the difference between a child and an adult.

No, the gap was even tenfold larger.

If they offended Eternal Life Group, it would likely lead to restless sleep.'

Zhou Ping'an's actions then appeared quite normal.

Facing the scrutiny and retaliation from Eternal Life Group, he couldn't possibly have the energy to deal with the endless bounty hunters of the Dark Web.

Keep in mind, assassins may not be exceedingly powerful, but they are sufficiently disgusting and unscrupulous.

If the root of the bounty isn't resolved, it's like having countless flies buzzing around, forcing one to remain vigilant at all times.

A day or two is manageable.

Even ten days or half a month.

But for a year or even ten years, during such a long duration, constantly guarding against enemy attacks,

Even the strongest nerves would collapse.
