At that moment, an armored vehicle quickly drove into the scene. Special forces emerged from the vehicle and began to quickly cordon off the area with shields and high-intensity suppression weapons. Lin En, observing the situation before him, grew even more vigilant. He knew that behind this riot lay a greater conspiracy.

The technical team received new intelligence via the tactical headset: "Inspector, our surveillance revealed that these rioters gathered at the same location a few hours before the action—an abandoned factory in the East District. This is likely their temporary base."

Lin En's eyes turned cold. "Notify all team members to immediately surround the factory. I suspect this riot is just a cover, and the real plan is probably still underway."

Meanwhile, the central area of ​​the riot became more chaotic. The mutant rioters seemed to realize that the police were gradually gaining the upper hand and began to retreat in different directions. Lynn noticed that their evacuation was not hasty, but orderly. This reaction further confirmed his judgment - these people were not simple thugs, but had undergone some kind of training and command.

Lin En did not pursue them, but instead quickly mobilized the remaining police force to cordon off the surrounding area. He told Carter, "Don't be fooled by their retreat. This may just be the first step. They're buying time for the people behind the scenes."

Kate had also arrived at the scene, standing behind the cordon at a safe distance. She brought her photographer to document the scene, her face a complex tapestry of emotions. Her gaze passed through the cordon, resting on Lynn's busy figure, her heart rife with conflict. She knew that no matter who was behind the riots, ordinary people would ultimately suffer. Her reporting could either reveal the truth or inadvertently deepen the rift.

When the riot subsided, Lin En received the latest news from the technical team: "Detective, we found several encrypted terminals in the abandoned factory. The information from one of the terminals points to a larger plan. They are mobilizing more manpower, and the target location may be in the financial district."

Lin En held the headset, his eyes sharp: "Everyone gather immediately, target the financial district. We don't have time." He looked up at Kate not far away, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, but he quickly turned around and got on the command vehicle.

the other side.

Kate sat in her dimly lit apartment, the laptop screen on her desk emitting a faint blue glow. The title of the document on the screen clearly read: "Dawn Internal Strategy Meeting Records (Encrypted)." This was a document she had obtained through secret channels. It was a priceless acquisition, but it could be the key to uncovering the core workings of this organization.

She quickly scanned the contents and discovered several unexpected details. The document recorded discussions from recent high-level meetings of the Dawn Organization, and signs of division were evident. One section of the leadership, particularly the member codenamed "Silent Rose," advocated for violent action to exacerbate the conflict between mutants and civilians and force the government to compromise. Another section of the leadership believed that extreme measures would only undermine the organization's credibility and alienate more mutants. These members advocated for more grassroots organizations to mobilize peaceful demonstrations and gain public sympathy and support.

The documents even record a heated argument that erupted during one meeting. "Silent Rose" bluntly declared, "We don't have time to wait for politicians to slowly change their policies. Only by making society suffer will they take us seriously." Another member, codenamed "Dawn," vehemently objected, "Violent violence will only make us monsters in the eyes of our enemies. Our goal is peaceful coexistence, not a city-wide sea of ​​fire!"

Kate's fingers paused on the touchpad, her heart racing. This was her first glimpse into the true workings of the Dawning Organization. It wasn't just an extremist mutant organization, but a complex web of internal divisions and contradictions. She realized that this division might be the key to success—if the moderate faction could gain the upper hand, perhaps the current crisis could be mitigated.

She continued reading, uncovering even more startling information. One section mentioned a draft plan, codenamed "Operation Dawn." This draft outlined a series of radical actions promoted by the "Silent Rose," ultimately aiming to destroy Manhattan's financial system and trigger social unrest by paralyzing the economy. However, the document also mentioned that some core members strongly opposed the plan, arguing that it would not only fail to win public support but would also lead to even greater government repression of the mutant community.

Kate knew this information had to be delivered to Lynn as soon as possible. She grabbed her phone and dialed Lynn's number, her voice low and urgent: "Lynn, I've obtained internal documents from the Dawn Organization. These contents may change our strategy."

Lin En on the other end of the phone was obviously used to Kate's unexpected discoveries. His voice remained calm as usual: "What exactly is it?"

Kate quickly explained, "The documents show that there are serious divisions within Dawn. The confrontation between the violent and moderate factions has escalated. 'Operation Dawnbreak' is their upcoming large-scale plan, but it doesn't have the support of all members. This may be our chance to stop them."

Lin En was silent for a moment, then said, "Send me the file. I need the technical team to verify its authenticity. If it's true, this is indeed a breakthrough."

Kate hesitated, then said firmly, "Lynn, this document isn't just intelligence. It also demonstrates a fact—not all mutants support violence. We need to make this information public so the public knows that Dawn isn't a unified evil organization, but a group full of contradictions."

There was a hint of warning in Lynn's voice: "Kate, doing this might complicate the situation. If the violent faction senses they've been betrayed from within, they'll likely speed up their actions."

"But it's worth it." Kate interrupted him, "We can't just rely on hunting and suppression to solve the problem. If these moderates are willing to cooperate, we can use them to dismantle the entire organization."

Lin En sighed. "Alright, send me the documents. I'll arrange for someone to contact these moderates, but you must promise not to act alone again. The risk this time is greater than you think."

Kate nodded: "I understand. I will be careful."

After hanging up, Kate sends the document to Lynn and begins writing a story about the internal divisions within Dawn.

Kate sat in her apartment, her screen awash with data. This information, gathered through various sources, touched upon the hidden records of Flameheart's past. She discovered that the mutant named Marcos Ramirez wasn't always extremely violent. His name appeared in a long-ago document, the title of which instantly raised a frown: "Korn Industries Special Abilities Research Project."

She pored over the documents, gradually piecing together a heartbreaking story. Marcos was once an ordinary mutant teenager. Although his pyrotechnic abilities made him an outcast in everyday life, he always tried to integrate into society. Until one day, he was arrested in a community conflict and taken away by Korn Industries, ostensibly to help him control his abilities.

The document detailed the experiments, its cold, indifferent language causing Kate to clench her fists. Under the guise of government contracts, Korn Industries exploited mutants' abilities for high-risk weaponization research. Marcos became the subject of these experiments, his fire abilities forcibly enhanced through drugs and surgery, and even used to test the effectiveness of new weaponry. The cost of these experiments was immense. The document mentioned that Marcos attempted to escape several times, only to be suppressed by even more brutal means. His abilities became increasingly unstable, even threatening his own life, yet the researchers viewed him as merely an "asset."

Kate took a deep breath and continued to look through the files. She discovered that after the experiment, Marcos was abandoned, claiming his abilities had "run out of control," and Korn Industries had even erased all records of him. Losing funding for the experiment and his identity, he was forced to live on the streets and was taken in by the mutant community. It was during these years that he began his transformation from a young man trying to integrate into society to the raging "Heart of Fire" he is today.

Kate suddenly felt a tightness in her chest. This wasn't just a story of being betrayed by society; it was also a victim's declaration of revenge. Every action Marcos took was a cry, an extreme way of demanding justice from this indifferent world.

She immediately called Lin En, her voice filled with urgency: "Lin En, I found out about Marcos's past, which may change our view of him."

Lin En asked in a deep voice on the other end of the phone: "What is it?"

"Marcos was once a Korn Industries experiment," Kate said quickly. "His firepower was forcibly enhanced, and his rage stems from the pain those experiments inflicted. His actions aren't simply destructive, but an extreme retaliation against social injustice."

Lin En on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and his tone became even lower: "What does this mean? He is just a victim?"

"He's a victim, but that doesn't excuse his violent behavior," Kate said firmly, adding, "But if we can show him that continuing these actions will only reinforce prejudice against mutants, perhaps he'll stop. I suspect his anger stems more from isolation and despair."

Lynn sighed. "Kate, do you know how difficult this is? He's so caught up in it, we don't even know if he's willing to listen."

Kate clenched the documents in her hand, her eyes determined. "I have to try. People need to know his story, to know that he wasn't born evil, but a victim of this system. If the public can realize this, maybe we can still salvage some of the situation."

Lin En pondered for a moment, and finally said, "Bring these documents to the branch. I need to verify this information. If it's true, perhaps we can use this information to find a breakthrough."

Kate hung up the phone and put all the documents into her bag. At the same time, she secretly decided in her heart that this time she would not only help Lynn stop the destructive actions of "Heart of Fire", but also let the world know that behind the anger and violence among mutants is the long-term oppression and exploitation of society.

A few hours later, Kate arrived at the FBI branch and handed the documents to Lynn. Lynn's eyes swept over the cold experimental records, his brow furrowed. "Cohen Industries, this isn't the first time we've heard of this name. They're not just supporters of Dawn, they're clearly manipulating these extremists at a deeper level."

"So, this isn't just a matter of capturing 'Heart of Fire,'" Kate whispered. "This is a problem with the entire system. If Korn Industries isn't exposed, stories like Marcos' will happen over and over again."

Lynn nodded, a cold look in his eyes. "I will intensify the investigation into Cohen Industries, but we cannot relax our pursuit of Flameheart. His plan has reached a critical stage, and any delay could plunge Manhattan into greater chaos."

The two looked at each other for a moment, and both felt the complexity and heaviness of this battle.

the other side.

Lin En sat in his office with an important search warrant application before him. However, his boss said to him in a serious and unquestionable tone: "Lin En, this application cannot be approved. The scope of this matter is too wide and the impact is too far-reaching."

"Impact?" Lin En raised his head, a hint of suppressed anger in his tone. "Isn't the safety of Manhattan the most far-reaching issue? The evidence we have is enough to prove that Cohen Industries is manipulating Dawn behind the scenes. If we don't take action, the ensuing disaster will be unavoidable!"

The boss's expression was stern, yet a hint of unease flashed across his face. He said in a deep voice, "Lin, I understand how you feel, but we can't rashly take action against such a large company. Cohen Industries' executives have connections to multiple departments, and their legal team could make all our efforts go to waste. Furthermore, your speculation lacks direct evidence."

Lin En suppressed his anger, pushed the documents onto the table, and said firmly, "We can't do nothing because we're afraid of failure. Delaying now will only give these people more time to clean up the evidence. They've already caused enough damage to this city."

The boss was silent for a moment, then finally shook his head. "Lin, this is an order. Temporarily suspend the direct investigation into Cohen Industries and focus on the crisis at hand."

Lin En didn't argue. He simply stood up and walked out of the office without a word. He felt heavy-hearted, knowing this wasn't just his boss's personal decision, but pressure from higher up. Kern Industries was clearly exerting some kind of influence behind the scenes, their power permeating not only the economic and political spheres but even influencing law enforcement.

He returned to his office, closed the door, and sat down alone. His desk was piled high with files on Dawn and financial records from Cohen Industries, each page brimming with conspiracy. However, these documents were like scattered puzzle pieces, missing the crucial piece of evidence that would reveal the truth. (End of Chapter)
