Dark Skin was momentarily stunned, then immediately realized.

This bunch of guys... are they here to take advantage of the situation?

Even trying to scrape profits from the orphanage?

Do they have any humanity left?

The noise startled the children in the orphanage, who all peeked out from inside, curiously looking this way.

"Brother, the director is a friend of mine. Can you give me some face today? I'll have them handle it immediately."

"Tch! What's your face worth?" sneered the guy behind the opposite leader.

"You..."

"Hey! What are you saying!" The leader raised his hand to stop his follower, yet still maintained a businesslike demeanor.

"Brother, I'm not making things difficult. The number of dogs raised here exceeds the regulation. It's a key focus for monitoring. Without photo documentation, we can't consider our task complete, and it's hard to report back.

We're a legitimate company, following proper procedures, unlike your... makeshift team from the town."

It seemed like an explanation, but between the lines, there was disdain toward Dark Skin and his partner.

Dark Skin was angry, but before he could speak...

"What did you say? Dare to repeat it!" "Elder Cat" looked enraged, pointing at the other's nose in fury.

The opponent gave him a disdainful glance.

"What, if I say it again, you want to fight? Brother, we agreed we'd each do our own part, don't be shameless!"

"Who's really being shameless, huh? Do you think I'd scare easily?"

"Hmph! You got guts, kid!"

"Ask your mom if I got guts!"

"Damn it! You're looking for trouble!"

"Bang! Bang bang!" "Damn coward dare to play tricks!" "Motherf***er, don't hit the face!" "Smack!"

Dark Skin was completely stunned.

I just wanted to be a peacemaker, how did it suddenly turn into a "you looking at me? Yeah, I'm looking at you" scene?

No time to complain about the hotheaded youngsters, seeing the opponent's followers already rolling up their sleeves for a brawl, Dark Skin could only grit his teeth and charge in...

...

"Wee-woo~ wee-woo~"

Ten minutes later, two police cars and an ambulance were parked outside the orphanage, with over ten people crowding the place.

"We've understood the situation, you're all on duty and yet you fought over a minor argument, how is this appropriate?"

The bruised and battered "Elder Cat" glared angrily at the equally disheveled opposing group.

"We held back, how could we know they would go all out? Look at what they did to my brother, at least broke a rib!"

The Dark Skin on the stretcher groaned in pain, helplessly looking at the sky.

It's three ribs...

Damn it, I just wanted to stay agile and play it safe, but as soon as I jumped in, I was taken out just like that. The scene was like a little chick inadvertently stepping into a group of advanced monsters.

Those guys, they don't look strong, yet their punches are so heavy.

That Elder Cat could actually hold his own against them, it's really absurd!

"Damn! Who can't fake an injury! Look at that mouth, you made me spit blood, surely caused internal injuries. I demand a medical examination!" said the opposing leader, not backing down.

Then suddenly pointed at the old director.

"Right, I suspect they took bribes from the orphanage, giving them preferential treatment, that's why they deliberately hurt law enforcement officers."

"What? You're slinging false accusations!"

"You're acting guilty!"

"Enough! Is fighting just a joke? Do you want to go to jail?"

The leading police officer gave them a stern look, then turned to the old director with a gentle expression.

"Old Director, sorry for the trouble, but given today's incident, we'll need you to come to the station to make a statement.

Don't worry, I don't believe these people's random accusations, and it won't take much of your time."

The old director's face didn't look good.

She still hadn't fully grasped what happened; a simple safety check had escalated into such chaos.

Before she could react, the severely disadvantaged Dark Skin was already tearfully calling the police.

Looking at the yard filled with doctors, police, and bystanders, she felt that in the decades-long quiet of the orphanage, it had never been this lively, not even during New Year's...

If she'd known, would quietly getting rid of those guys in the back have been the easier option?

Several times, she'd contemplated during the scuffle.

But felt that risking everything for such a minor issue wasn't worth it, yet after a brief hesitation, things spiraled out of control.

Today's events seemed like a series of coincidences, but the old director felt something was off.

The troublemakers weren't locals, their punches lacked technique, but their abundant energy and a unique aura from military experience...

They might just be a group of veterans, but her alertness was heightened.

She considered using certain methods, but...

Glancing at the police officers' body cameras, she forcibly suppressed her killing intent.

Patience in small matters maintains the bigger plan.

"Officer, I have a group of children to care for here, I'm really unable to leave. Could we make the statement directly here?"

The officer thought for a moment, looked around at the children, and didn't insist.

"Hmm... it's not impossible. Let's find a quiet place outside, don't want to scare the kids."

Hesitating briefly, the old director exchanged a glance with the little girl beside her, finally nodding, "Alright!"

...

Watching the real-time footage from the law enforcement body cameras, Meng Xiaolang, the mastermind behind it all far away, finally revealed a smile.

The Night Demon Clan possesses formidable biochemical technology, their combat prowess likely far exceeds regular humans, yet they aren't without weaknesses.

And the biggest weakness of the Jinghai Welfare Institute...

is that it cannot expose its existence!

Having lurked in the human world for so long, the caution and patience of the Night Demon Clan is undeniable.

In their developmental phase, once discovered by humans, even if facing lesser humans, it could spell unpredictable trouble for their "Arrival Plan."

Meng Lang was certain, within the "Nest" task assignment for these undercover operatives.

"Do not expose your existence" must be a highly prioritized, if not the top, command.

So unless absolutely necessary, or if it's certain they are exposed, they would never crudely use technology or methods that would readily arouse human suspicion.

Meng Lang didn't expect the "actors" to be perfect.

But under these circumstances, even the slightest hint that might lead the others to become suspicious.

As long as there's not a hundred percent certainty, they wouldn't dare to recklessly risk exposure in front of global media, much less dare to kill everyone present!

Starting with Dark Skin, the informer, then Ning Shisan, followed by Chu Tian, and finally the official personnel handling the case...

The whole plan was step by step challenging the opponent's bottom line, with the number of people entering the orphanage instance continuously testing the opponent's nerves.

And now, those blatant gazes, and the ever-present recording devices...

Are even more daunting to them than heavy weaponry!
