"You trade children for money, earning a fortune from heinous acts. That money is stained with blood—the blood of those children! Does it not pain your hearts at all to spend it? Do you feel no guilt whatsoever?"
Tang Zhan’s voice gradually rose in volume.
Meanwhile, Zhou Limin and the others hung their heads, cowering.
Seeing that none of them were talking, Tang Zhan let out a long sigh.
He turned and waved at a few officers. "Take them all away!"
"Yes, Captain Tang!"
After all the staff members had been loaded into the police cars,
Tang Zhan stood with his hands on his hips, looking up at the building.
His eyes were filled with anger and helplessness.
In the Old District, incidents like this were all too common.
And it wasn’t just about selling children, either.
Even worse, some utterly depraved individuals would capture people everywhere to sell them to demons.
Just like the recent kidnapping cases.
Tang Zhan believed those people were also likely making deals with demons.
They kidnapped Martial Artists and sold them to the demons.
All for exorbitant profits...
But he was just one captain from the Martial Arts Police Station. Even if he wanted to eradicate all evil from the world...
...how could he possibly accomplish such a thing on his own?
...
「Old Town District.」
The silent streets were completely deserted.
Not a single car was on the road.
Only a single electric scooter traveled along it.
Lin Yi, wearing a clown mask, rode all the way to the supermarket.
After parking the scooter, he followed the usual procedure and entered the supermarket’s back courtyard.
Every time Lin Yi came here, he always felt a strange sense of oppression.
The courtyard was full of people, several dozen at least.
But no one spoke; hardly a sound was made.
Lin Yi first turned in his mission and collected the reward.
He then went to the mission room and accepted a new one.
After going through the entire process,
he glanced around again.
As it turned out, he didn’t see any sign of Lei Hu.
This left him a little disappointed.
Ever since seeing Lei Hu last time, he’d had his mind set on that Golden Light Fist technique.
But he had been busy hunting the Cat Demon for the past few days, with too much on his plate to come over.
He turned in a mission today but didn’t see Lei Hu.
’Is that guy deliberately avoiding me? Or is my luck just that bad today?’
’After all, it’s not like they hang around here every single day.’
’Robbing other peers of their valuables is an inherently risky business.’
’After all, anyone who comes here to take on Demon Hunting missions is a practitioner of Martial Arts.’
’Their cultivation levels vary. If you’re lucky, you might run into someone with a low cultivation and make a good score.’
’If your luck is terrible, you just have to chalk it up to bad luck.’
After accepting the new mission, Lin Yi didn’t linger, just like before.
He headed straight for the back door.
But just as he reached the alleyway,
flickering shadows of people moved about outside.
Lin Yi’s brows furrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes as he became more cautious.
And just as he reached the mouth of the alley,
he executed a Body Technique, instantly darting outside.
He turned and threw a punch at the people behind him.
Just as the fist was about to land on their faces,
a familiar voice said, "Don’t hit me! It’s—it’s me! Golden Light Fist..."
