Her words implied to He Ao that this formal attire might still cause him unnecessary trouble.

"Thanks,"

He Ao nodded slightly, not delving into the question, but instead asking, "How many gangs are there in this neighborhood? Do the leaders of those gangs all live in this neighborhood?"

"The neighborhood is now basically controlled by one of the largest gangs, the Scorpion Gang,"

The shop owner thought for a moment and replied, "They control more than 70 percent of the area in the neighborhood. The rule of 120 federal dollars was set by the Poison Scorpion Gang. I heard that although the leader of the Poison Scorpion Gang has bought villas in other places, he still likes to live in the Green Olive Neighborhood. However, I don't know the exact location of this leader."

"I understand. Thank you for your help."

He Ao nodded his thanks.

“What’s the trouble?” The shopkeeper shook her head and sighed deeply. “It would be best if you didn’t go in.”

She put away the tray that had just been filled with iced orange juice and walked back behind the shop counter with a hunched back.

He Ao turned his gaze from the shop owner to Jiaxi, who was still slowly posing in front of him. "How does it feel?"

"I think I can feel a little bit,"

Jiaxi opened her small eyes, looked at He Ao, and shook her head, "But they are all disobedient."

"Just a little bit is enough,"

He Ao stood up, raised his hands to the left, and made a starting gesture with his palms facing up. "Come on, keep this feeling and do it with Grandpa."

"it is good!"

Jiaxi nodded and made the same gesture as He Ao.

He Ao activated his divine sense and gazed at his granddaughter.

Threads of subtle energy flowed through Jiaxi's small body.

"Come on, raise your hand and turn to the right."

As He Ao spoke slowly, Jiaxi moved to the right, following his movements.

"Stop, hold this position, and raise your arm a little higher."

While she was performing the movements, He Ao was also monitoring the energy flow within her body. When the energy flow became unstable, he would guide his granddaughter to change her posture.

Then he would have Jiaxi repeat the action five or six times until Jiaxi had fully mastered the correct movement.

Time passed second by second, and He Ao continued to teach his granddaughter new moves. These moves were a set of fist techniques that he created after dissecting the main world's Alifia's fist techniques and mastering their fundamental principles.

This set of boxing techniques also includes some of Reggie's insights from his physical training and some of his combat understanding.

However, this set of boxing techniques is not yet perfect, and there are still many details that cannot be fully integrated.

A holistic and logical method of spiritual practice is universal. It should not be limited to one or two people, but should be accessible to everyone, moving from the specific to the general.

He Ao's current boxing style has not yet broken free from this special...

He knows that many of his techniques work very well for him, but if someone else uses them, they might just be putting on a show.

Of course, this boxing technique simply cannot be widely disseminated or practiced. In a one-on-one situation with He Ao, the outcome would be quite different.

Because He Ao can adjust the learner's subtle movements through his divine sense, making the set of boxing techniques completely adapt to the learner's body, it is actually a customized improved version of the boxing techniques for the learner based on this set of techniques.

This customized version allows for a much faster learning pace than the generic, mass-produced version.

In just over an hour, Jiaxi mastered the method of regulating the body's internal energy.

Although the amount mobilized was small and the process was somewhat slow, she had indeed taken the first step.

In such a short time, He Ao did not intend to teach her any deeper fighting techniques. Instead, after teaching her a few simple moves, he let her familiarize herself with the method of energy gathering.

To be precise, the core of He Ao's boxing style lies in the gathering of energy.

In the process of gathering energy, Jiaxi can also quickly familiarize herself with the laws and methods of energy circulation within her body, which is laying a solid foundation for her.

Once she's become familiar with her body to a certain extent and has laid a solid foundation, learning those routines will be much more effective.

Next, He Ao spent almost two more hours teaching Jiaxi how to fully familiarize herself with the energy manipulation method.

At that moment, the shop owner also packed up his things, preparing to close the shop.

"Your business doesn't seem to be doing very well?"

The two glasses of iced orange juice were already finished, so He Ao bought two ice creams in the end. This time, Jiaxi chose them again, one strawberry and one vanilla.

During the few hours that He Ao taught Jiaxi martial arts, no other guests visited besides He Ao.

“People living in the Green Olive Street rarely buy this kind of cold drink,” the shop owner smiled gently. “And my shop is located at the entrance of the Green Olive Street, so people from the surrounding neighborhoods avoid this street and naturally won’t come here.”

"Auntie, then you won't be able to make any money?"

Jiaxi's hands were gripping the bar counter, her small head, which was only slightly taller than the counter, looking at the shop owner with some confusion.

"yes,"

The shop owner smiled and handed the two freshly made ice creams to Jiaxi, saying, "I used to do odd jobs to barely keep this shop afloat, but it's been hard to find odd jobs lately."

"How many years have you been operating here?"

Jiaxi asked curiously.

"It's been over a year, actually I'm already behind on rent. The lease expires tomorrow morning, this should be the last time I open here,"

The shop owner seemed lost in some memories, her mood somewhat downcast. Then she shook her head, looked at Jiaxi, and said, "It's so late, little one, take your grandfather home."

She still hasn't given up on persuading He Ao to leave.

"We'll go back as soon as Grandpa's done."

Jiaxi nodded, held up the two ice creams in her hand, glanced at them, and then handed the vanilla ice cream to He Ao, "Grandpa, have some."

"it is good."

He Ao took the ice cream and casually picked up...

The cane leaning against the side.

He stored the suitcase containing his child's ashes in a locker at a high-end hotel.

"Goodbye, Auntie!"

Jiaxi turned around and made a goodbye gesture to the shop owner.

"Bye-Bye."

The shop owner also responded to Jiaxi.

Then He Ao turned around with Jiaxi, and the old man and the young girl left the cold drink shop together and walked into the depths of the night.

The shop owner, standing behind the counter, watched the two figures disappear and sighed softly.

She opened a locked drawer under the counter and took out a photo frame.

In the photo frame, a young man, looking rather shy, is smiling at the camera.

She placed the photo frame on the bar counter, then rummaged through a drawer and pulled out a box of unlabeled medicine bottles.

She poured herself a glass of water, unscrewed the medicine bottle, and poured the pills into her hand.

She looked up and glanced at the door.

After a brief hesitation, she slowly got up, walked to the door, and prepared to press the close button on the electronic roller shutter door.

As her finger rested on the button, her gaze unconsciously drifted into the depths of the night.

At the end of that darkness, it seemed as if two figures, one old and one young, were walking along the dilapidated road into the deeper darkness.

Finally, she withdrew her hand from the button and poured the pills back into the medicine bottle.

She didn't close the medicine bottle properly, but instead sat on the chair by the door, in the spot where He Ao had just sat, with the open medicine bottle and a slightly swaying water glass in front of her.

Her gaze was fixed on the depths of the night, on the end of the darkness.

-

Walking on the dark street, He Ao looked up at the buildings on both sides that were shimmering with a hazy glow.

There's definitely something wrong with Winter Street, but everyone knows there's something wrong there, so the person behind it will definitely try to cover up all the clues.

So it's very difficult to get any clues if we go there now.

However, the Green Olive neighborhood is different. The missing persons cases in the Green Olive neighborhood are all ordinary missing persons cases and have nothing to do with the Night Hawk case.

Furthermore, the investigation is quite difficult.

Normally, people who want to investigate the Nighthawk case are deterred by this high-difficulty neighborhood and prioritize investigating the Winter neighborhood, which is more closely related to the Nighthawk case.

But is the Green Olive neighborhood really unrelated to the Night Hawk case?

It's important to know that most of the missing persons cases are related to the raising of polluted monsters, and the monster that attacked Ishia was a C-level polluted monster that had been raised.

He Ao has reason to believe that the people who committed the Green Olive Street disappearance are very likely the same group who attacked and killed Isia.

Could this group of people be connected to the Winter neighborhood or even the Nighthawks case?

Therefore, the key to finding the mastermind behind the Winter Street lies not in the Winter Street itself, but in the Green Olive Street.

"are you sleepy?"

A night breeze brushed against their faces, and He Ao glanced down at Jiaxi, who was eating ice cream.

It's almost midnight now.

"not sleepy!"

Jiaxi shook her head, raised her little head to look at He Ao, and asked, "Grandpa, are you sleepy?"

"Grandpa isn't sleepy either."

He Ao shook his head.

After you begin your spiritual practice, the energy you gain from it can effectively reduce physical fatigue.

He Ao turned his gaze back to the depths of the night.

Not far ahead of them, there seemed to be something still faintly lit.

The tiny 'buildings' with faint light.

There are advantages to doing things under the cover of night.
