Chapter 85 - Chief Waiyu
"Hmm..." An old man in his mid-60s hummed a low tune while gazing at the destruction of the police station before him.
"Care to explain to me what happened here overnight? I left to take care of matters in the provincial city, and this is what I come back to?" The old man inquired with a sullen look.
The few police officers in the surroundings immediately trembled slightly from the old man's invisible pressure.
"It seems Chief Waiyu have not heard the news. The station was attacked by the Bloodmoon Gang last night, chief." Captain Wudi explained with a sigh.
Chief Waiyu tapped his foot on the ground in thought before he said, "The Bloodmoon Gang's Silvercove Branch has always been cordial with our station, never stepping over the line. They would not attack without a proper reason."
"This…" Captain Wudi paused before continued, "It's because there was an important guest at our station, who also happened to be the Bloodmoon Gang's target."
"And who and where is this important guest now?" Chief Waiyu turned around and questioned Captain Wudi with a sharp look.
"That important guest is…" Captain Wudi paused again. He realized he did not know the young master's name. "Sorry, Chief Waiyu. I don't know where the young master is, nor his name."
"I see." Chief Waiyu appeared slightly disappointed before he pointed at the cuffed Bawles Brothers, "And they were also done in by this so-called young master of yours?"
"Yes, Chief Waiyu. That is indeed the case," Captain Wudi nodded.
After hearing this, Chief Waiyu's disappointed gaze became stronger before he asked, "What about the rest of the Bloodmoon Gang that died at Yama Hotel?"
"Although I didn't see it myself, I believe they were also finished off by the young master, Chief—"
"Alright, that's enough." Chief Waiyu waved his hand before saying, "I have the news already. They were done in by you, Captain Wudi."
"Chief Waiyu, that was a mistake. I was—"
"Stop it, Wudi. That's enough." Chief Waiyu interrupted Captain Wudi again before he began to reminisce, "At the age of 20, you broke through to the Initiate Realm and became the youngest Martial Arts Master in Silvercove City. It's been more than two decades since then that everyone thought your martial arts have stagnated. But as it turns out, you have hidden yourself deeply, Wudi."
"I don't know what kind of grudge you have against the Bloodmoon Gang's Silvercove branch, but this station can no longer keep someone dishonest like you. Just hand in your badge and leave. There's no need for you to come back in tomorrow for work." Chief Waiyu spoke.
"Chief Waiyu, it was not like that at all! By the time we arrived, the Bloodmoon Gang was already dead!" A few officers immediately spoke up for Captain Wudi.
However, Chief Waiyu shook his head and said, "It doesn't actually matter if he did or not. It's what the world believes! Right now, Captain Wudi is akin to a hot potato. His presence will only endanger the rest of you here."
"Could it be that even someone like you cannot do something about the Bloodmoon Gang, Chief Waiyu?" Officer Xiao asked with a heavy expression.
She was the one who brought Sum Ting Wong—no wait, the person's name was not Sum Ting Wong. Sigh, anyway. The point is, she felt that she was to blame for Captain Wudi's present situation.
"The Bloodmoon Gang is much more powerful than you think." Chief Waiyu sighed before turning to Captain Wudi, "Go find your master, Old Demon. Perhaps, he will be able to protect you."
"I understand, Chief Waiyu." Captain Wudi bowed as his body trembled. The mention of his master, Old Demon, is all it takes to trigger all his past traumas.
"Hahaha, since Brother Kumnao doesn't want this person, this works perfectly for me! The Hunter Association's Silvercove Branch will gladly take this person in!"
A burst of raucous laughter was heard before two; one man and one woman approached from the side.
"The Hunter Association's Branch Leader, Harry Johnson, wants to recruit Captain Wudi?" The officers quickly recognized the man.
The Hunter Association's Branch Leader was once the Deputy Chief of their police station.
But more importantly, Officer Xiao and the other officers quickly felt happy for Captain Wudi. Joining the Hunter Association was a golden opportunity to become stronger.
Nevertheless, Chief Waiyu frowned, "Last time I checked, we were not that close, Harry Johnson."
"Oh, don't be such a sour p*ssy, Brother Kumnao. We've known each other for so long. We should be more than just good friends by now. Don't tell me you are still salty because you think I stole this position from you?" Harry Johnson spoke.
"Hmph!" Chief Waiyu immediately snorted, "Since you know, then hurry up and take Captain Wudi and beat it!"
"Hahaha… Hey, man. It's not my fault you walked in on one of the higher-up's important business with his hot secretary at the wrong time and lost his good impression. But then again, what did he say again at that time? Why you come now? Or was it… Waiyu Kumnao?—Bahahaha!" Branch Leader Johnson guffawed.
"Scram!" Chief Waiyu spat with a darkened expression. He was livid from Harry Johnson rubbing salt on his old wounds.
"Hahaha!" Branch Leader Johnson chuckled before shifting his gaze to Captain Wudi, "Come with me. You want to join the Hunter Association, right?"
"Yes!" Captain Wudi did not even hesitate.
Who knows when he will get attacked by the Bloodmoon Gang's powerhouses?
"Good!"
Shortly after, Cao Wudi followed Branch Leader Johnson and his female secretary back to their car before he sat in the back seat.
"What was the point of asking me to arrange an invitation letter if you are going to invite the person yourself anyway, Branch Leader Johnson?" The female secretary sighed in the driver's seat.
"Haha, it was my bad, Jane. It took me some time to recall that this person was Old Demon's student," Harry Johnson chuckled wryly.
Cao Wudi's lips twitched at the mention of his master again, but he chose to remain silent in the back seat, unwilling to talk about this topic.
Sometime later, they arrived at the Hunter Association building before the female secretary parked the car in one of the roadside's empty parking lot.
However, Harry Johnson suddenly paused his steps when they were approaching the branch building, causing the Cao Wudi and the female secretary to also pause their steps.
"Why did we stop?" Cao Wudi asked before his gaze paused on an old man blocking the way in front of them.
The old man glanced at a picture on his phone before comparing it to Cao Wudi's face.
"You're Captain Wudi?" The old man questioned with a penetrating gaze, causing Cao Wudi to feel immense pressure.
'This old man is strong!' Cao Wudi instinctively thought.
At the same time, Harry Johnson also felt the old man's oppressive aura before he muttered with a slight frown, "This could be troublesome."
"You recognize this person, Branch Leader Johnson?" Cao Wudi quickly inquired while retaining a vigilant stance against the old man.
"Recognize him? Of course, I recognize him!" Branch Leader Johnson nodded and said, "This person is very infamous in Stillwater City.. You should have heard of him before. He is the Bloodmoon Gang's Wolf King, the Tiger-Dragon Brothers' father, Ligma Bawles!"
