Shadow Empire

Chapter 267 Changes [666+10]
The two looked at each other for a while.

Finally John took a step back, pointed at Lance, turned and walked away without saying a word.

Erwin blocked his way, staring into his eyes calmly without any fear, and even seemed to have some provocative intentions!
He twisted his neck slightly, as if to say "Come on, let's fight" or something like that.

John pursed his lips and felt an urge to destroy it, but in the end he held it back.

John turned around and looked at Lance. Lance raised his hand and Erwin moved away, but he still bumped John with his chest.

Everyone made way and stopped surrounding the police. John walked back to the car and kicked the tire, "Let's go!"

The other police officers all breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, they didn't want to offend Lance.

Being a police officer is really a high-risk profession these days. Even though Jingang City seems so "harmonious", several policemen still died while on duty this month.

Some people were involved in car accidents simply due to bad luck, but others were shot dead by suspects during law enforcement.

If you can't climb higher in the police force, then you might as well wash dishes instead of being a police officer.

At least washing dishes is safe and you don’t need to worry about someone dying from it.

Being a policeman, indeed!
Except for two unlucky guys who had to stay behind to clean up the scene and were still trembling, all the other policemen left in a clean manner.

Erwin came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

He didn't know what happened. Robert said there was a gunfight at the dock. Lance asked them to come over, and Erwin directly pulled a group of people over in a car.

I kept the accelerator on the floor and ran through red lights all the way. There were countless shouting and cursing along the way from the Imperial District.

He still doesn't know why the exchange of fire occurred or who was firing at whom.

Lance shook his head slightly, "Two groups of people broke in and shot at Hiram. One of them might be from outside the area. I don't have any impression of them."

He glanced at the driver who had died, "By the way, check who the person who escaped is. He was the one who led these people here."

This problem is not entirely John's fault, but also the fault of the person who brought the trouble upon himself.

If he hadn't broken into the port, the other gunmen wouldn't have broken in, there would have been no shooting here, and no one would have been injured!
Lance looked at the two unlucky guys who were hit by ricochet bullets and were being put on stretchers. He asked someone to talk to the doctor and he would pay for the expenses.

After all, he also has some responsibilities here.

Bill, who had already walked away in confusion, didn't know any of this. All he wanted now was revenge!

He almost died!

If there hadn't been so many people at the dock, he might have become a dead body on the roadside like his bodyguard!
This was the first time he was so close to death!
It was so close that his heart seemed to be about to jump out of his chest!
These bastards!
After he fled back to the Red Dog Gang's headquarters, his entire temperament changed and he immediately summoned almost all of the senior cadres.

It was not until everyone arrived that he talked about what had just happened.

“I almost didn’t make it back!”

"The damn Wolf Gang ambushed me on the road. If it weren't for them... I might be dead now."

"I managed to shake them off and escape back."

"I used to not understand why some people choose the most difficult path when they have many choices."

"Now, I understand!"

"I want revenge, revenge on the Wolf Gang!"

He slammed his hands on the table. What he said had moved him and gave him a heavy sense of mission.

However, these senior officials did not support him as much as he had imagined.

Of course there are people who are willing to support him, but there are also people who are not willing to support him.

"Bill, we can talk to them. The port area is so big. If we clear out those small gangs, we will have enough space to survive..."

"We don't have to decide who wins and who loses. Even if we win, can the wine we have support us to open bars in every inch of space?"

"We can't do that. Rather than leaving those places empty, we should give them a chance to coexist peacefully."

"You can't make money from war, but you can make money from peace!"

Bill looked at him in disbelief, "I almost died just now!"

But the man looked nonchalant, "But you're not dead!"

Bill turned around in a circle as if he couldn't understand him, "We lost three brothers!"

He tried to awaken this part of the people to identify with the gang and brothers, but the man said, "We will give pensions..."

However, some people supported Bill, saying that they should teach those foreign gangs a lesson, but in the end, their eyes fell on Bill. They supported the war, but they didn't want to spend money.

At this moment, Bill fell into deep doubt!

Are they really a match for the Fides Wolf Gang?

Meanwhile, John, back at the police station, had a tantrum in his office.

He felt that he was not... sorry for Lance. He had arranged one-tenth of the police force to maintain order at the dock. He had already... paid a lot!
And just as it was said, that is three thousand yuan, not thirty thousand, not three hundred thousand!

If Lance really gave him thirty thousand dollars, he could ensure that every police officer was transferred over, including those who answered the phone!
But it was only three thousand dollars. After he gave each police officer twenty dollars, he only had two thousand left!

What do you expect from him?
Pay for it yourself to help Lance maintain order?

This is impossible!

As for why the police did not stop vehicles that were involved in gunfire and chases, he felt that there was nothing wrong with that part. The police are also human beings, they can get hurt, and they have to protect themselves!
When police officers encounter emergencies, as long as the decisions they make are not illegal, there is nothing to blame them for. Many police stations even encourage this kind of thinking.

Protect yourself first, then protect the people!
Besides... John only gave them twenty dollars. How could he expect them to fight the gangsters for twenty dollars?

He was very annoyed by Lance's merciless temper and lost face in front of his subordinates. He pounded the desk hard as if to vent his emotions.

Someone outside the door heard the sound of him banging the table, and a burly man pushed the door open.

His old partner.

After he was transferred here, he also transferred his partner here. Now he is the director and his old partner is the assistant director.

He rearranged his clothes to make himself look less like the impotent and furious man who just screamed hysterically.

"Whose?" he asked.

"The Wolf Gang attacked Bill and they broke into the dock area along the road."

John couldn't help but ask again, "Didn't our people intercept it?"

The burly man shrugged. "Can you count on them to intercept the gangsters in the middle of a fierce firefight?"

"If they really did that, I think there's a good chance they'd be beaten to a pulp!"

John slammed the table again, "Fuck!" He rubbed his cheeks with both hands after cursing, then stood up with his hat on, "Come with me to the Wolf Gang."

His partner hesitated, but followed him and called two good players.

Four people and one car, and soon the car appeared at the Wolf Gang's headquarters, a game room.

There are many table games here, including the pinball machine which has become increasingly popular recently. Each game costs two cents and if you are lucky you can play for a long time.

But if you're unlucky, it might be over in a few minutes.

Many tabletop game rooms have begun to display these. Some experts say that playing marbles can effectively help people improve their eye-hand coordination and exercise their reaction ability.

Although I don’t know whether what the experts say is true or false, it is certain that I will spend money.

The man who appeared at the dock was in the innermost office. "We almost caught up with him. There was some activity at the dock today. There were a lot of people there. He took advantage of the chaos and ran away. We also saw people from the Lance family. There was a brief exchange of fire."

The leader of the Wolf Gang looks a little thin, but he is definitely a tough guy.

When he was in Fides, he raised two wolves. One version of the legend is that he went into the mountains alone and met a mother wolf with two cubs.

The mother wolf regarded him as an enemy and food, and fought with him. He killed the mother wolf with his bare hands, and took the two wolf cubs back and raised them.

He has a very special feeling towards wolves, he hopes that he is the wolf king of the "wolf pack" and that they can roam the world like wolves roam the mountains and forests!
As to whether this story is true or false, perhaps only he himself knows the answer. However, there are indeed two dogs around him that look very much like wolves, which makes the rumor more true.

The strength of the Fides Wolf Gang should not be underestimated, and they are not inferior to the Viper Gang that has already been wiped out.

Moreover, they came more thoroughly and decisively, and gained a foothold faster than other gangs.

"Lance's people." Leader Wolfe sat on a chair, leaning back with his legs on the table. He was playing with a dagger. "So Lance's people are the reason why you didn't succeed?"

The guy with blue pupils nodded. "They must be in the same group. I heard that Bill gave the Empire District to Lance. Maybe that's why he went to the dock in the end."

After listening to this, Wolfe nodded without comment. At this moment, the phone on the table suddenly rang.

He picked up the phone with a frown, and hung up quickly.

"Let's talk about this tonight. Someone is coming now." He still did not change his sitting posture, but his eyes shifted from his subordinates to the office door.

Not long after, the door was violently pushed open, and John strode in and sat directly opposite Wolfe. "I said, don't go to the dock to cause trouble today!"
