Chapter 1024 - 992: The Eve of Dawn

It was just a command given in an instant, yet it sparked an unavoidable chaos.

The explosion sounded from the rear end, with two prison vehicles blowing up into the sky, and the iron sheets crashing down like meteors onto the police cars stationed nearby. Director Mo Luo had just issued the evacuation order when the explosion followed swiftly. At the Yin Yang Realm line, women and children slowly retreated into Sin City, and the patrol cars on the perimeter hadn’t seen a single person come out from there, making sure that not even a fly could escape their scrutiny.

"Quick, go check on that cripple!" Mo Luo was the first to realize something and headed towards the intact prison vehicle. Someone from Sin City came out and started throwing smoke grenades at the police cars, immediately shrouding the scene in white mist, followed by deafening shouts and battle cries as if something was about to burst out from inside, rendering Mo Luo’s heart full of dread.

"The cripple, the cripple is gone!" The deputy returned in a flustered hurry; there was nothing in the prison vehicle except a pair of handcuffs properly secured.

"What?" Mo Luo felt his scalp prickling. How did that cripple escape?

"Someone is coming out!"

From the smoke slowly emerged several silhouettes, with the leading figure carrying a rocket launcher on his shoulder, aiming it at Mo Luo, his long hair tied up high. "Director Mo Luo, are you looking for me? With so many people standing at my door, what’s your intention?"

"Who are you?" Mo Luo regulated his breathing.

"Weren’t you looking for me?"

"Sin City Lord?"

"Yes, that’s me. What do you mean by blocking my entrance in the dead of night?"

"You’ve come at the right time. I heard a wanted criminal is hiding in your city. Since you appeared, hand over the person, and we’ll leave."

"Wanted criminal?" The Sin City Lord burst into laughter. "I lack many things here, but wanted criminals aren’t one of them. Mo Luo, did you overeat and clog your brain, coming here to find wanted criminals?"

"This person’s identity is somewhat special. I hope the City Lord can understand the predicament of us law enforcers. Your men just killed two of our police officers, and I find it hard to explain to the higher-ups."

"Hard to explain? Looks easy to me. Didn’t you say, as long as they bring them to you, you can pardon them? Or are the words of Director Mo Luo mere hot air?"

A loud burst of laughter left the director’s face red with embarrassment. More importantly, his words to the cripple had clearly spread everywhere.

"I don’t understand what you’re saying. Just hand over the person we’re looking for, and we’ll leave."

"Oh, really? Mo Luo, who are you looking for? I’ll show you if they’re really here."

"Xiao Lin! The one who killed someone inside our police station and escaped from the Eastern Three Provinces."

"Xiao Lin?" The Sin City Lord smacked his lips and spat on the ground. "No such person."

"Oh, really?" Mo Luo’s phone vibrated in his pocket — it was a signal. "But what if he’s inside? Although Sin City is an independent community, it’s still under Palermo’s jurisdiction. This means if you harbor a wanted criminal, I can still arrest you."

"Mo Luo, being a policeman requires evidence. If you can prove the person’s here, just take him away. But proving it is the tricky part. Why not come in and check yourself? Hahaha, though I fear you lack the courage." The Sin City Lord’s words provoked another wave of laughter, leaving Mo Luo no face at all. "Mo Luo, you are now disrupting our normal living order. Have your people retreat, or don’t blame me for blasting you away."

Rocket launcher versus AK? No comparison. The phone in Mo Luo’s pocket vibrated twice and stopped. Following the hint, Mo Luo ordered his men to withdraw to a distance, pulling back the police line at the breach. "Sin City Lord, if the person I’m looking for emerges from your place, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

"Please go ahead."

The Yin Yang line reverted to its usual state, and police cars gradually drove away, leaving only Mo Luo and a few of his deputies watching the breach. The night grew deeper, and under its cover, everyone from Sin City retreated back into their world, leaving an eerily quiet atmosphere.

"That old guy must have an ace up his sleeve, otherwise he wouldn’t be so certain." Tegel, retreating back to his defensive line, put down his weapon. Although the police had already retreated from the breach, the city was still under a no-exit order.

"Send people to track down Xiao Lin’s whereabouts. If he’s still in the city, find him immediately," the Sin City Lord blinked his green eyes. "The person with a large dog by his side, that’s him, and it’s obvious."

"Troy!" Tegel’s brother Carlos shouted uneasily; their family’s City Lord always liked to meddle in others’ business. "More than half of Sicily’s gangs were taken out an hour ago, Mo Luo arrested a large number of people. He’s clearly targeting our Sin City. As soon as he grabs a small handle, he chases relentlessly.

"I know, Carlos! Although it’s unfavorable to us now, it’s also an opportunity to get rid of this Mo Luo." Troy patted Carlos on the shoulder. "Enemies have infiltrated the city, find out their surveillance but don’t act rashly."

Troy stood at a high point, looking at the distant horizon darker than ever, the dawn was near. He bet today would be a cloudy day since it was so dark as to obscure the white light.

The waiting time wasn’t long; Sin City wasn’t that big. Finding a person, especially someone with obvious features, was easy. So Troy quickly got the news, and when he planned to personally go see this Xiao Lin, someone blocked his way. "Is it you?"

"Yeah, it’s me." The person standing in front of Troy was Yelv Shou. "He asked me to tell you not to get involved in this matter."

Troy shook his head. "Do you think I want to meddle in your affairs? I no longer owe the Yelv Clan anything. Your boss uses your goodwill on meaningless things, he’s an idiot."

"Troy, this matter really isn’t something you should interfere with."

"Now Mo Luo is keeping a close watch on me, not that I want to interfere. God knows who your boss offended that even that old guy is willing to risk his life."

"Troy, stop pretending in front of me, you actually like Xiao Lin." Yelv Shou covered his mouth, trying to suppress a laugh, but the barrel of a rocket launcher was already pointed at his face.

"I am going to meet your boss now, to find out what he’s trying to pull here. If he dares go out without permission, I’ll blow his head off."

"I don’t mind if you lock him here for life, but you’ll have to actually manage to keep him locked up."

"Oh, Yelv Shou, I think you came here to harm me, didn’t you see that old guy guarding outside? He’s just short of setting up a five or six-meter-long telescope here to spy inside."

"I’ll have you know! Someone plans to take this opportunity to push against your gangs. Mo Luo’s mastermind is the one your boss is looking for. Whether or not your boss is here with you, he’ll take down your Sin City, because ’Black Crow’ has already infiltrated. Although I still don’t know their purpose, it’s certain that if you keep out of it, you might preserve Sin City."

"Sounds serious, just who is Xiao Lin trying to deal with, so formidable?" Yelv Shou’s words not only piqued Troy’s curiosity. "I only met that guy once, he’s someone who could make Nicholas yield territory for three months in just three days. Isn’t someone who can go up against him even scarier?"

"Shao Weihua, from Huaxia, his exact identity is unclear. It’s said to be from some level of the central government. This is all you need to know; knowing more will do you no good. Matters involving that side aren’t for people like us in the criminal underworld to understand. In this world, black will never overpower white; they are the real rulers of us."

"Even though you say this, I still want to intervene. If you can, I can too." Troy smiled wickedly, stood up, dusted off his pants, and swiftly stepped forward without a limp.

Crow walked in front, while Xiao Lin followed behind. In this city, he had become a spectacle; there shone a strange light upon him, yet no one dared to come near. Those with violent tendencies instinctively kept a distance from these two outsiders, and law-abiding citizens even more so would not approach the two who did not seem approachable. While they thought the young outsider looked handsome and amiable, getting close was still blocked by a clear ’no entry’ sign.

"The sky is about to lighten, the time has about come!" Xiao Lin muttered to himself as the blackened edge brightened with the sky’s light.

Crow walked a few steps ahead and suddenly stopped, then sprang out in one direction. Xiao Lin sighed helplessly; what was fated to happen finally came. Crow’s instincts were always very accurate, the scent of enemies imprinted in its mind like a brand, not easily forgotten. However, this time its scent recognition seemed a bit confused; the character appearing wouldn’t be alone.

Xiao Lin took a deep breath, a piercingly long howl sounded from Dantian, heard by both Yelv Shou and Troy. They looked at each other and ran towards the direction where the howl came from.

"Director, did you just hear something strange? It seemed to come from within Sin City!" The assistant asked as Mo Luo cultivated with closed eyes.

"Hmm, don’t worry about it. Just guard the exit. As soon as someone appears, immediately issue a warrant to enter Sin City and capture Troy." Mo Luo kept his eyes closed, he wouldn’t bother with such details, just waiting to tighten the net. (To be continued.
