Chapter 107: I’m a Police Officer

Countless people ran out of the West Side Club. The closer they were to the club, the clearer the sounds of gunshots and screams were.

Tang Yu saw injured and bleeding people limping out of the club one after another. At that moment, a black shadow caught her in the crowd.

“Xiao Yu.”

“Senior?!” Tang Yu looked at Song Huating in surprise. “Why are you here? It’s very dangerous.”

She looked around before pulling her senior into a dark corner. She watched as the people around them gradually disappeared, none of them noticing them at all. Then, she lowered her voice and whispered, “There seems to be a gunfight inside. People may have died. Let’s call the police.”

“I am the police.” Song Huating took out his identification card under her surprised gaze. “Come with me. I will protect you as you leave.”

“I can’t go with you. I have to find Carlisle. He’s in danger.” Tang Yu’s face was full of worry.

“It’s Carlisle and the Hawk family that are fighting! Xiao Yu, Carlisle isn’t a simple person. I’ve said it before. He’s very dangerous. Just let him go.”

“Why are they fighting?” Tang Yu was even more worried. “There must be some misunderstanding. I have to find them…”

“Your actual husband is Miles Hawk, the young leader of the Hawk family. Carlisle, the top 100 SS-rank mercenary in the world, has been entrusted by someone to hunt down Father Hawk and Miles Hawk. Unfortunately, I don’t think the grudge between them can ever be resolved!”

Tang Yu immediately recalled the scene of the board in Carlisle’s room, filled with information about the Hawk family. It turned out that he was actually hunting down Miles!

“So Carlisle approached me in order to get close to Miles?” She felt even more upset. She felt like a complete fool.

“It’s very possible.” Song Huating patted her back gently, trying to comfort her.

A loud voice abruptly interrupted their conversation, “What are the two of you doing here!”

Tang Yu looked back and saw that it was a man in a police uniform. The man was waving his baton as he ran toward them.

“Run!” Song Huating pulled her into the darkness.

“Why are you running? Aren’t you a police officer?”

“I’m an Interpol officer. I’m not on the same side as the local police.”Song Huating held her hand and ran towards the beach. He wanted to hold her hand and run forward forever, hoping that time would stop so that they could escape from this world. He just wanted to be together with the person he liked, without a single worry about others interfering.

“I’m sorry, Xiao Yu. I wanted to protect you and didn’t want you to be sad. I didn’t want you to get hurt. But it backfired in the end.

“I was too rigid and self-righteous… I didn’t tell you. I didn’t even give you a chance to choose. It was because I didn’t dare to face you, because I was afraid of hearing the words and breaking up with you.

“The past can no longer be salvaged. But tonight, you can still choose me.”

Song Huating suddenly stopped in his tracks. The sea breeze whistled as the waves crashed against the sand. A helicopter was parked on the beach. “Xiao Yu, do you want me to explain about the Pacific Harbor dispute that I’ve been investigating for many years?”

Tang Yu had never been on a helicopter before, let alone such an advanced and well-equipped one. The usual helicopters that appeared on television looked feeble compared to this.

He flew the helicopter toward the sea. From above, the view was pitch-black. Nothing could be seen at all.

Song Huating switched on the radar, which lit up the screen above the console. Only then did Tang Yu realize that the sea was actually densely packed with ships.

“A few hundred years ago, when pirates from the Pacific Ocean landed on the American continent, they discovered traces of the new human civilization. Therefore, they kept plundering and accumulating wealth, rampaging across the Western Sea, and took root in San Francisco. The ancestor of the Hawk family was the once one of most famous pirates of the time, Captain Ghost.

“Their powerful force has persisted to this day. However, they no longer owned the strongest ship in the Pacific Ocean. Their business began to develop more toward land. There were voices of opposition within the gang; people determined to take back the sea. In the end, they separated from the gang and formed the Hook Gang.

“The Hook Gang and the Hawk family had completely opposing ideals. Even so, the two sides were originally one body. They worked closely together, and were inseparable. Father Hawk advocated maintaining a good relationship, but the Hook Gang wanted to kill him and annex all of the Hawk family’s ships. They already had several secret encounters on the sea. Both sides suffered heavy losses, but it seemed like the Hawk family was going to be the losing side eventually.

“At that time, the eldest son of the Hawk family returned forcefully and used brutal methods to suppress the various sects, allowing the Hawk family to regain a firm foothold in San Francisco…”

Suddenly, flames soared into the sky, interrupting him. The flames were followed with a loud bang, pushing the helicopter a few meters away .

“The war has begun!” Song Huating activated more radar equipment and restored the scene. “It seems that Carlisle wasn’t able to kill Miles.”
