Shadow Empire

Chapter 497 Anti-Black Storm
After the police officer got out of the car, he immediately looked at the rear of the car. The chrome rear bumper had been dented and the trunk door was also slightly deformed.

He tried, but couldn't open it.

Anger rose from the soles of his feet. He walked over and kicked the front of the other car hard, complaining loudly, "Are your eyes on your ass?"

"Do you want to mess with Falk?"

"Get out of the car!"

He pulled open the other person's car door with force, paused for a moment, turned around and wanted to leave.

He saw Alan sitting in the passenger seat and saw the swollen and broken cheekbone on his face.

In an instant, the anger that spread throughout his body turned into coldness. The switch between fire and ice made him shiver all over. He turned around and was about to leave, but two people had already blocked his way behind him.

"Get in!" Alan waved his hand, "Get in the car, don't force us to fight on the street!"

The police officer took a deep breath, looked back at Allen, and pursed his lips.

He didn't dare sit in it casually, because God knew what he would face next, but at the same time it seemed unlikely that he would not sit in.

There was a hard object poking him from behind, and he instinctively took a step forward to maintain his balance.

He glanced at the back seat and finally sat in it.

Someone ran to the front and got into the police officer's car, and the two cars quickly disappeared on the streets of Jingang City.

Even if some people realized something at night, they were reluctant to meddle in it.

This is Jingang City, a city ruled by gangsters and wealthy people, and has nothing to do with ordinary people!

The car drove out of the city. The atmosphere on the road was very depressing. The less light there was around, the more frightened the police officer became.

As he was about to leave the city, he finally couldn't bear the pressure anymore and whispered, "I'm sorry, Alan."

Alan was sitting in the passenger seat. He glanced back at the police officer and laughed twice.

"It's not time for you to apologize yet."

"Alan, I know I shouldn't be so impulsive. I apologize to you for my impulsiveness. Just beat me up to vent your anger!" The police officer took the initiative to ask for a beating, but Alan still just laughed twice and said nothing.

The street lights around were dim, the cars were going further and further away, and the police officers were under increasing pressure.

He looked at the people on both sides, gritted his teeth, looked grim, and said with clenched fists, "You can't kill me, I'm a policeman!"

He became afraid.

People are like this, they always regret their failures. When he did that to Allen, all he thought about was Hunter and Charlie's appreciation of him, and his bright future of gaining more status and power.

But he never expected that revenge would come so quickly and so violently!

He knew that the Lance family was arrogant, but at the same time he believed that he wouldn't have too many problems because he was a policeman.

The consequences of killing a policeman are very serious, and he has just shown it to Hunter and Charlie. Wouldn't it be a slap in the face of Hunter and Charlie if they touched him at this time?

But they really did it, so simply, quickly and directly that he was taken hostage here before he could even realize some of his ideas.

Alan didn't say anything, and no one else in the car was willing to talk to him. The quiet environment only made him more uneasy.

The car stopped at an abandoned factory in the suburbs. Although the factory was dilapidated, it did not mean that everything here was destroyed.

At least the power grid was still good and the lights in the yard were on. The car slowly stopped and the police officer was asked to leave the car.

As reluctant as he was to get on the bus in the city, he was even more reluctant to get off here.

They may be a little more civilized in the city, but in the suburbs, they are not so civilized.

A young man got into the back seat of the car, pointed his feet at him, sat on the back seat and kicked him hard on the head!

While kicking, he also cursed, as if that would make him more imposing!
The police officer had to get out of the car in pain. He staggered a few steps and almost fell to the ground.

His legs were weak at this time!

Honestly, he was freaking out right now.

Alan shrank his neck due to the cold, holding a cigarette in his hand. The cold wind was particularly painful when it blew on the wound on his face!

It was like an invisible knife was cutting his wound!

He stretched out his hand to the person beside him, moved his fingers back and forth a few times, and a baseball bat was delivered to his hand.

He looked at the police officer in front of him, who was no longer as tough as he used to be, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.

The officer in front of him continued to plead, "I apologize..."

The next second, people heard a buzzing sound of wind, followed by a bang, and the police officer was knocked to the ground by a baseball bat.

Alan walked up to him with a cigarette in his mouth, raised the baseball bat and hit him hard on the arms that were protecting his head, with anger and pleasure of revenge in his eyes!

At first, the police officer was able to scream a few times, begging Allen not to hurt him, and even came up with various ideas to save the situation, including working for Allen and the Lance family.

But Lance doesn't want such a small role, and Alan just wants revenge now!

After being hit with seven or eight sticks, or even ten or so sticks, he stopped talking, and even his hands that were protecting his head slowly loosened without him noticing.

Next, the sound of water splashing began to be added to the sound of the bat hitting, and blood splattered and landed on Allen's face.

He wiped it with the back of his hand and then threw the bat to someone next to him.

His men wiped the bat with a rag and put it back in the car.

Alan adjusted his collar, glanced at the officer's deflated head and the blood that was spreading under his head, then got back into the car.

The convoy left the place quickly, leaving only the police officer lying in a pool of blood and his car!
After returning to the company, Alan went to see Lance first.

"Solved?" Lance asked.

Allen, who had just been outside like the Grim Reaper hidden in the night, smiled sheepishly, "Yes."

"Will this cause some trouble?"

After coming out of the police station, Alan was actually thinking about this question, especially on the way back, he encountered several police cars.

Logically speaking, the police should not cause them trouble, but today they not only caused them trouble, but also made things difficult for them.

Does this mean that the relationship between the police and the family is spiraling out of control?

Alan didn't quite understand this, he just wanted to think about it.

Lance sat behind the table and watched the young man. Ever since he came into Lance's sight after saving Erwin, he has shown many excellent qualities over such a long time.

In fact, not all people at the bottom of society are not good enough. Many of them also have potential value for training. It’s just that their environment, life, and conditions prevent them from receiving this information and opportunities.

For example, Allen.

His current performance is very satisfactory, even better than some higher-level cadres.

It also made Lance more patient with him and willing to explain things to him instead of just asking him to do it without asking.

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems."

"Today they embarrassed us and sent a message that if we don't fight back fiercely, then others will think we are backing down."

"Alan, we are in this position today not because we are willing to give in, but because we can make our opponents give in!"

"No matter who is standing opposite us!"

He paused and said, "Go do your thing. I'll call you if I need you. The police may come looking for you in the next few days. I'll have a lawyer keep an eye on you."

Alan got up and left, taking a cigar from Lance. Lance just smiled and scolded him.

Asking Allen to retaliate immediately was his "warning" to Charlie and Hunter. This was not a game. Once you decide to end the game, there is no turning back. Soldiers versus soldiers, generals versus generals!
The next day, they discovered that the police officer who was on duty did not come to work, and they immediately linked the revenge of the Lance family to this incident.

They sent someone to the officer's home, and his family told the police officers who came to check on the situation, but the officer did not return all night.

Because the police officer was from the General Administration and often did not come back all night due to work matters, his family did not find it unusual.

I just thought that he was tied up in a mission and couldn't come back, and didn't think about anything else.

Since he didn't come back all night and was not at the police station, and something like that happened during the day, there is a high probability that he was murdered.

Hunter immediately asked someone to bring Allen to the police station. Allen, who had been mentally prepared, did not feel uneasy at all.

He even acted a little arrogant!

In the office, Hunter looked through the glass window for a while and returned to the office. He thought for a while and called Lance.

"Are you going to go to war with us?" His question was very sharp at the beginning.

Lance didn't shy away from this pointed question. "That's entirely up to you, Hunter."

"You were the ones who caused trouble first!"

Hunter knew what Lance meant, and raised his voice in embarrassment, "They called the police!"

"You can't just ask us to do nothing, can you?"

Lance responded very quickly, "You can answer the call but not handle it, but you handled it. Knowing that they were my people, you took people to arrest my people without notifying me."

"Hunter, don't tell me you don't know what you're doing!"

"This is a matter between me and Shi Dong, and you insisted on interfering. Now you're asking if I want to go to war with you?"

"That's the funniest fucking joke I've heard all year!"

"You want to take advantage without paying anything in return. There is nothing so good waiting for you in this world!"

Hunter's expression was very unhappy, but he didn't know how to refute this for a moment.

It was precisely because the call to the police was made by Stone himself that Hunter chose to go out on a mission.

Stone is the representative of the younger generation of the Kodak family, and his meaning represents the meaning of the Kodak family.

On one side are the heads of the five long-established families, and on the other side are powerful gangs composed of the grassroots that have only risen rapidly in the past two years.

It seems like you can tell who to help at a glance!

If I have to blame someone at this moment, it must be Lance!
He didn't follow the fucking script!
If he had called before his men were arrested, wouldn't so many things have happened?

But how could Hunter say such a thing? What's the point of saying it?
He took two deep breaths and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"It's simple. This is a matter between me and them. Don't interfere."

This seemingly simple request only resulted in a long silence from Hunter.

He didn't say anything, but both parties seemed to understand each other's decision. Lance hung up the phone directly, while Hunter slowly put the receiver on the landline.

After a while, he told Charlie about it, and Charlie asked him to go through the process first.

"Hunter's call!" Charlie returned to the sofa and sat down.

There were several prominent figures in the Bay Area in the room. They were either big capitalists in Jingang City, controlling the livelihoods of tens of thousands of people, or important figures in the Socialist Party.

Their influence individually may be relatively limited, but when everyone unites together, the influence becomes extremely terrifying.

Everyone else's eyes were on him, he was still talking about this matter just now.

A bespectacled gentleman sitting in the most central position motioned for him to continue. He sorted out his thoughts and said, "We have just told you about the incident we received yesterday and the subsequent handling of the case."

"Hunter just told me that the police officer who handled the kidnapping case yesterday has lost contact. We suspect he may have been killed!"

The man wearing glasses looked particularly serious. "The existence of these gangs has seriously threatened the safety of the people of Jingang City. Congressman Charlie, we elected you because we think you can provide protection for our safety."

"Now, it's time for you to show your worth."

Charlie's face was both serious and somewhat...lively. In short, it was a very special expression. He lowered his head slightly and said, "Yes, I have already told Director Hunter that we must resolutely crack down on crime."

"But now these gangs are very arrogant and presumptuous. My idea is that we should unite all the forces we can to fight against them."

Several bigwigs looked at each other for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, you do it. We hope to see the security of Jingang City improve as soon as possible!"

Charlie smiled. "I am confident that we can turn the current bad situation around as soon as possible and let the people see our determination to face evil and our confidence in victory..."

The existence of the Lance family has indeed affected the interests of some bigwigs in the Bay Area. Almost all the workers on the dock are from Lance's office, and the small number of local workers also listen to him.

Jingang Wharf is an important interest center of Jingang City. Now this wharf is completely controlled by a group of gangsters. How can this be accepted?

If it was to avoid a major strike, they could have endured it.

Now that there is no threat of a major strike, Lance should take the initiative to step down instead of continuing to control the situation at the dock.

Mr. Hof’s dissatisfaction with Lance was not the trigger, but it made people realize that the harm caused by the Lance family was increasing.

Dealing with them seems to have become a consensus!
After leaving the villa, he contacted the brothers Bandy and Gowri and talked to them about the decision in the Bay Area.

The two brothers agreed without much consideration. To them, an ever-expanding Lance family would also harm their interests.

Although they did not form a formal alliance, everyone knew that they all had a common enemy, the Lance family!
At night, at Charlie's villa, Hunter and their hardcore police officers gathered there.

Charlie sat in the most central position with a confident smile on his face.

"Many people think I am a spineless person who has spent almost my entire life serving the masters in the Bay Area."

"That's because they have never truly realized the power of the Bay Area!"

"Just wait and see. The Lance family, which has occupied two districts and has thousands of people, will soon disappear under this force!"

“No one in this city knows the power of the Bay Area better than me!”

He paused, picked up the cigar Hunter had roasted for him, and took a puff. "Next, what you have to do is to resolutely crack down on the illegal and criminal activities of the Lance family."

"Protect yourself and don't worry about offending Lance and the Lance family, because after this war, there will no longer be any Lance family in Jingang City!"

He said it with absolute certainty and he really believed it. With the Kodak family and the Bay Area, no one could be their opponent!
Hunter asked quietly, "How are Blue and Duke going to deal with it?"

Charlie glanced at Hunter and flicked the non-existent ash on his sleeve. "You are the director. You have the power to dismiss them from their jobs. Do you need me to teach you?"

"Clear out these traitors from the police force!"

“Didn’t the state government ask us to take some concrete action against corruption in the police force?”

“They’re a perfect match!”

After a brief two-day lull, Chief of the Blue Division received an administrative order from the City Police Department, suspending him from his post and subject to a disciplinary investigation.

Like him, Chief Duke of the Port Branch was suspended from his job and began to be investigated.

Perhaps they had such guesses or premonitions, but when it really happened, it was still difficult to accept.

But since they have chosen to stand on Lance's side, they can only go all the way and believe that Lance will be the final winner.

The storm gradually formed, and the air in the whole city seemed to become three times heavier.

Alberto took the initiative to contact Lance and wanted to offer some help, but Lance did not let him intervene immediately.

The strength of the Pasreto family has been weakened to the extreme after this rapid shock. Even if they intervene and join in, they will not be able to change the situation.

It would be better to let them stay aside first and then send them out when they are needed as surprise troops.

Now everyone is thinking and guessing where the first shot of "anti-blue" will be fired?
