Fate Online: Shadow

Chapter 316 The Azure Gang

Meanwhile.

"Keep running, we’re almost there!"

Markus and Maya with bags over their shoulders are currently escaping from their pursuers through a busy food street.

Their pursuers just wore cold looks on their faces as they chased after the two, while those eating at the side or those ordering food quickly moved away from the scene as they didn’t want to be in trouble.

"How dare you cause a ruckus in our turf!?"

A dark-skinned man in dreadlocks hair who was eating a meal in front of a stall suddenly stood up and angrily kick the stool that he was sitting on earlier.

Markus and Maya couldn’t help but stop in their tracks when the two of them heard that shout as they quickly turned around to look, while the onlookers just stood on the side, watching.

Some of them even took out their phone and started recording the scene.

"It’s Beast, let’s go! That guy would certainly stall them!" Markus said as he quickly turned around pulled Maya by her hand.

The brown-skinned bald man who is leading the pursuit quickly frowned when he saw that the two kids are getting further away from them.

"Ignore him! Get those two punks!" the bald man ordered, and two men quickly rushed forward.

Beast dashed towards the man to his left side and kicked him on his shin, resulting in the man flying forward in the air for a bit before falling on the ground hard. Beast didn’t even care that the other man had run past him.

"Ahhh! My nose!" the man started yelling in pain as he laid down on the ground looking at his bloodied hand.

"Bastard" the bald man couldn’t help but cursed seeing that one of his men is injured, so he quickly gestured for the two remaining men, and the three of them slowly surrounded Beast.

No one!

No one even bothered to call for the police. Why?

Because there are already two policemen on the scene, but they are just standing on the side, waiting for the storm to pass through so that they could finally resume their work.

It’s not that they didn’t want to interfere, but doing so would instead incur their wrath towards them. So they’d rather sit on the fence and do nothing unless the gang members include civilians into their troubles.

"Sir, are we just gonna watch?" the young policewoman beside the middle age officer asked with an anxious voice.

Her partner looked at her and said helplessly, "Keep this in mind rookie as this is your first day in the field. Remember the faces of those people, and when you see them fighting in the street one day, don’t interfere. Only do so, when they involve civilians and just make sure that there’s no death that’s gonna happen before your eyes. They know the rules, so don’t worry about the last one though"

"But sir..."

"No buts" he glared at her and continued, "If you want to live in this place peacefully, then you also gotta follow the rules in the street. Don’t do anything stupid, think about those people important to you, you don’t want them getting hurt because of one of your impulsive actions, right?"

Looking at her dejected expression, he couldn’t help but see himself in her when he was also a rookie like her, someone full of passion and justice.

But reality woke him up from his fantasies.

Because he slowly learned that power and money are justice, and when you don’t have either of those, then you’d better make sure you know your limits.

Unless of course, you have the most powerful weapon in the world.

Information!

When you have that, then money and power will automatically come to you.

After all, there’s that famous saying.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

The young policewoman slightly lowered her head, but she answered with a voice full of determination.

"Yes sir!"

The middle-aged officer only shook his head, as he knew that what he told her wouldn’t easily change her mindset.

’She will learn the hard way if she can’t control herself’

Meanwhile, as the two officers are conversing with each other, a large crowd had slowly gathered around the scene of the fight.

After all, this kind of happening is also a form of entertainment for these common folks even though they are also afraid of the people that they are watching.

Beast slammed his knee on the bald man’s face, quickly followed by a powerful right hook to the chin, knocking the life out of the bald man as he slowly fell down on the ground, unconscious.

"Lousy bastards, how dare you trespass here and interrupt my meal?"

Beast looked at the four men lying on the ground and spat on the ground with disdain.

"Bastards daring to trespass our Azure Gang’s street" he once again spat on the ground and picked up a chair on the side and placed it down before the table where his bowl of food was earlier and started eating again.

Seeing that everything is over, the large crowd earlier had already started dispersing, and the food street had once again operated like normal like what happened earlier didn’t even happen at all.

The young policewoman looked at her partner and said, "Sir, I’ve never heard of anyone of you mentioning Azure Gang"

The senior policeman is already feeling a headache from this rookie as she continuously asks him questions after questions.

"The Azure Gang rules this block of neighborhood called Azure Street, but it’s neutral ground. Anyone can come here as long as they don’t cause any troubles. In fact, this place is even safer than Joseon Street as even the Diabolos and Wanderers need to behave when they are here"

"If I wasn’t a police officer, then I would certainly bring my family to live here"

Listening to her senior, she couldn’t help but be amazed.

"They are that amazing?"

The policeman just snorted and said, "Amazing? We, the police are even more amazing than them"

"Come, let’s cuff them up and bring them to the station"

Then the two of them went forward and cuffed the four men, and they waited for another patrol car before bringing the four away.

They didn’t even bother arresting Beast, because they were taught to only bring the losers to the station.
