I'm on the Ark, and I start out as Gretchen.

------------

After temporarily driving Swire and the other person away, Patto did not linger anywhere else. Instead, she returned to the cargo storage area in the G4 area and climbed back to the best spot she had chosen earlier.

After slightly concealing its presence, the cat took out the glutinous rice ball again, observing its surroundings while continuing to eat its dinner.

Gazing at the horizon, at the sun that had long since set, leaving only a sliver of its afterglow, Pado silently longed for the night to arrive so she could quickly make her deal with the target gang.

As for why she thought this way, the reason is simple: she knew very well that Swire's departure was only temporary, and that she and her partners must have been keeping a close eye on this place. It was only a matter of time before they found out the truth about this place (the gang).

The Rat King's covert operations in Lungmen are no joke. If these covert operations can't catch the Lungmen Thieves, surely they can at least investigate those gangsters?

Although the cat didn't see herself as the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, she still thought it was better to avoid trouble and take care of her target as soon as possible.

……

As night falls, the workers gradually leave the dock, and the nighttime hustle and bustle of the G4 area officially begins.

This place belongs to the laborers during the day, but to the gangsters at night. Their arrival has turned this place into a black and gray trading zone.

Noticing the unusual activity below, Pado took out her binoculars and began to carefully examine the current situation.

As expected, the laborers who had infiltrated earlier were now dressed in neat suits. They entered the ambush area methodically, their men filling the crisscrossing shadows of the port.

These people are hiding in abandoned shipping containers at the port, and they will emerge from those places at the slightest command.

Time was ticking away, the night was growing deeper, and Paddy chewed gum, her eyes fixed on the harbor. Unexpectedly, however, the dealers didn't use vehicles to reach the G4 area; they relied on—the ferry.

As everyone held their breath, a white wave suddenly appeared in the northwest corner, and five or six people jumped from the ferry onto the dock.

Walking slowly to the large loading and unloading area where the Sicilians were waiting, the newcomer laughed loudly, "I thought it was that cunning old fox Capone~ You are..." The man patted his subordinate.

Immediately his men whispered something in his ear.

"Gambino?" The man paused, his brows furrowing slightly, but he quickly composed himself.

He chuckled twice to ease the awkwardness, then said, "We've already stuffed the stuff into the machine. All the parts inside are the materials you need. You just need to disassemble them, grind them into powder, and you'll get the materials you need."

"So, what about your payment?"

Gambino's expression was sinister and cold. He gestured to his men, and several boxes of money were brought to the man.

The man, with a cigar in his mouth and a calm demeanor, said, "They all say you're particularly ruthless, but I think you're no different from that guy Capone."

However, the man was stunned when he opened the box.

A box of white paper appeared before him in a grand manner, causing his expression to freeze instantly.

Then, the man's expression instantly darkened, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes as he looked at Gambino. He laughed angrily and asked, "Are you looking down on our gang?"

Without saying a word, Gambino punched him in the face, causing him to stumble back several steps.

*Longmen swearing*

He pulled out a signal device and threw it directly at Gambino's feet.

The light illuminated this small area under the moonlight.

Fei Qunlu Jiu 4 Jiu San Lu 1 San 5 is lit up.

As for what Pado is doing right now? She is still leisurely lying on the box, calmly observing what is happening below.

Honestly, I never expected that the two sides of this transaction would start to fight each other so soon. This is quite a juicy story.

As the signal flare was lit, gang members from both sides, who had been hiding in the docks, emerged from the shadows and drew their weapons as if facing off against each other.

Gambino wiped the pistol in his hand and said, "Actually, this time I'm not just looking for you to buy materials; I also want to talk to you about a deal."

The cheerful man stared intently at him, and he also took out the pistol that had been hidden behind his back.

“I’m tired of the rules that Rat King made. They don’t fit the rules of Sicily. I’m going to show him what a gang is like, and that his rules are utter bullshit.”

The man on the other side thought he was talking nonsense. While carefully observing the situation, he said, "Heh, now I know why the Gambino family was destroyed. With someone like you, what family wouldn't be destroyed?"

After confirming the number of people, the man breathed a sigh of relief. "Your men aren't enough to stop me. I advise you to put aside the idea of ​​fighting. Obeying the Rat King's rules won't do you any harm. Let's just let this matter go..."

Just as Gambino was about to continue his threats, his subordinate handed him a phone. After listening to the call, his expression instantly turned grim; he seemed about to lose the bet.

He doesn't have time to waste on people like that. Does he think he can go back?

Thinking of this, Gambino said, "Then get lost... *Sicilian swear word* that looks down on people."

Just as the man was about to retort, an unidentified object flew from nowhere and struck Gambino squarely in the shoulder.

Fresh blood spurted out in an instant.

*Sicilian profanity*

Gambino quickly slipped into the pre-prepared evacuation tunnel, and the two sides immediately engaged in a firefight.

As for the unidentified object that just flew in from somewhere... Pado, who had somehow stood up high up, covered her mouth and slowly yawned.

She couldn't let these two groups reconcile like this; what if something else went wrong later?

Then...

In an instant, the special brick, "Ungrateful," appeared in Pado's hand. She leaped backward, locking onto her target's location with the precision of a hawk.

Then, like a cheetah on the hunt, he landed gracefully, precisely stomping on one of the gangsters brought by Gambino. A crisp crack echoed; unsurprisingly, the unfortunate fellow likely had multiple fractures.

The two sides, who were fighting with various weapons, couldn't help but turn their gazes toward Pado, the uninvited guest who had fallen from the sky.

Ignoring the stares, the masked Pado simply smashed a brick on the head of the gangster next to her, effectively helping them drift off to sleep.

Just as the material supplier thought that Pado was an aid sent by their boss and was about to speak to her, they heard a crisp sound of a broken nose. A person and a brick had appeared in front of them without them noticing and hit them hard in the face.

At that moment, both sides realized that Pado was an enemy, not a friend, and wanted to kill her, but because of her agile movements and speed, they didn't even touch the hem of her clothes.

However, just because they couldn't touch Pado didn't mean Pado couldn't touch them. In the midst of the chaotic battle, she was throwing bricks left and right, having a great time.

In no time, the ground in this area was covered with unconscious people.

It wasn't that no one had tried to retaliate with weapons, but every time they aimed at Pado, it seemed to sense something, dodging and using its explosive power to deliver a blow to the opponent.

Because of the characteristics of this Divine Key, no one can remain standing after being hit by a cat.

Chapter 152 The Advantages of Both Sides

After spending some time quickly taking down the entire group of people with a brick each, Pado didn't linger. He casually picked up a Gambino gang member and made a quick getaway.

It's really not her fault for being in such a hurry. The two gangs had made such a big commotion that if she didn't deal with them quickly and get away, she would definitely run into Swire and the others...

She hadn't spent half a day at the highest point for nothing; she hadn't been unaware of the little tricks Lin Yuxia and her group had been up to on the outskirts of this area.

Although bumping into someone or even being surrounded wouldn't be a big problem for Pado, and she could easily escape on her own, she still needed to bring people with her, and there were some things she wanted to ask.

While leading the group to avoid being seen and quickly leave the area, Maomao didn't forget to take out her phone and send a message to Swire.

【We've taken care of everyone. The rest is up to your Guard Bureau. As for the location, I don't think I need to tell you, right? Miss Swire, who's been kicked out~】

After stirring up a wave of hatred on her phone, Pado didn't dare to linger. She put away her phone and, carrying the person in her hand, moved to another area of ​​the port at the fastest speed she had ever been.

It's all just a joke, but if you accidentally get caught, things will go wrong and it won't be fun anymore.

……

At the same time, on the other side——

"?"

Swire, who had just called the police and met up with her two friends who had come to lead the operation, was discussing the encirclement and arrest when she suddenly saw Patto's message. Her temples bulged with veins, and she almost ground her teeth to powder.

"What's wrong? Is there an emergency?" Hoshiguma asked softly, turning her head as she looked at Swire, whose expression had suddenly turned gloomy.

"Yes." Upon hearing this, Swire put away her phone and gritted her teeth, saying, "Let's go straight there. There's no need to discuss it any further. Those people have all been taken care of!"

"Is the source reliable?"

“If you had asked me a little earlier, I would have told Lao Chen that I wasn’t sure. But Lin Yuxia just sent me a message.”

"Then let's go."

As they spoke, the three exchanged a glance and began to methodically direct the officers who were lying in ambush to move toward the target.

-------------

In a dark corner of the G6 area of ​​the port, Pado stopped what she was doing, threw the person in her hand to the ground to wake him up, and began her third threat of the day.

Cat hates threatening others and acting like a gangster when she can achieve her goals by being gentle. She's just a pitiful, weak, and helpless thief.

Unfortunately, some people only respond to force, not gentleness. If you're not assertive and fierce, you won't get anything out of them, and they might even try to take over.

After much effort, Pado finally managed to get what she wanted to know from this stubborn gangster.

To be honest, if we had dragged this out any longer, I was ready to give up and seek outside help. Asking for information is definitely something that should be left to professionals (like Xiaoshi).

"Didn't you finally tell me? Why were you so stubborn before..." Pado glanced at the person in front of her who was somewhat dazed from being frightened by her and muttered softly.

"Alright, we don't need you anymore. Go back to sleep!"

Before the gangster could react, Pado's brick landed on his head, giving him a physical sedation spell.

"Sigh... That's a wrap, time to head to the next place~" With a sigh, Pado put away the Divine Key in her hand and hurried toward the address she had gotten from the person lying on the ground.

The reason why the cat insisted on taking this "live" person away during the melee was to extract information from him about the location of their, or rather, the target gang's, stronghold in Longmen.

Now that she has achieved her goal, there is no need for her to stay here any longer. It would be better to hurry to the next location and find the goods she needs to purchase.

In addition, there was another reason why Pado was worried and thus accelerated her actions: she had not yet fully submitted her pledge of allegiance.

The operation in G4 looked brutal, but in fact, she controlled her strength completely. Some people were injured, but no one died. She even used the Guard Bureau to clean up the mess afterwards.

With the Royal Guard mobilized, Pado didn't believe that Wei Yanwu wouldn't know.

In this situation, she had to be careful. After all, who knew if that sixth brother would secretly make things difficult for her?

Of course, while Padre was eager to complete the mission, she didn't forget Swire. After getting far enough away from the port, she messaged her again, reminding her of security issues in area G4 and also informing her that someone was missing from area G6.

The reason for doing this is quite simple. Besides genuinely alerting any remaining fugitives on the other side, these messages also serve as a reminder and a means of control.

When the opponent is progressing too slowly, it serves as a reminder and prompt. When the opponent is progressing too fast, it distracts their attention and affects their actions.

After all, this evening, Maomao had clearly witnessed someone's intelligence-gathering ability. She didn't want Swire to be too slow, nor did she want her to be too fast, lest she cause a mishap.

……

Unlike Patto, who calmly sent the message, Swire was not so happy when she received it.

This unexpected news was indeed helpful to the work of the Guard Bureau, but it also depended on who sent it.
