There's a chat group for pets in my neighborhood.

A dark and windy night.

When committing murder and arson.

Yanling Park is located two streets away from Tiancheng Residential Area.

This is a temporary gathering place for blind Maineans.

"Boss, what do we do next? The brothers are starving."

An orange cat was lying obsequiously in front of the blind Maine Coon, asking ingratiatingly.

"What's the rush? Don't worry, those punks from Tiancheng Residential Area are no match for us. Before long, this area of ​​Tiancheng Residential Area will belong to us brothers."

The one-eyed dragon chuckled maliciously, and his still-intact eye seemed to already see the entire Tiancheng residential area falling into its clutches.

"This is the protection money we collected today." Several stray cats swarmed over, their mouths full of things like grilled sausages and meat skewers.

It had been bitten several times, clearly leftovers from someone else.

"How come there's only this much?" The one-eyed man squinted, somewhat dissatisfied.

It's a large animal and needs to eat a lot every day, so this little bit of food isn't even enough to fill its teeth.

Upon hearing the one-eyed man's question, the underlings immediately scrambled down in fear: "Boss, it's not that we didn't try, it's just that this protection money is really hard to collect. Look at all this stuff, we risked our lives to steal it from humans."

Just as the cats were talking, they heard hurried footsteps and a few words of conversation nearby.

"Have you heard? Recently, a group of stray cats have appeared in Yanling Park from somewhere. They're very fierce and big, and they even try to steal food from children's mouths."

"Really? Stray cats can be this arrogant?"

"Who can argue with that? There are many kind-hearted people in our neighborhood who feed them when they see them. But that stray cat was quite aggressive; several children were snatched away, and two others were scratched."

"You'd better be careful, isn't anyone doing anything about this?"

"I heard they've already called the police, and they'll send people over in a couple of days to get rid of all those damn stray cats."

"You know, they're all stray cats, so why are the stray cats in Tiancheng Community so obedient?"

"Who knows? I have a friend who lives in Tiancheng Community. The stray cats there never meow or pee indiscriminately. They even help catch mice. They're so well-behaved. If my mom didn't forbid me from having a cat, I would want to go there and catch one to adopt."

"Let's visit Tiancheng Community next time we have time. Okay, let's hurry up and go, lest we run into the stray cats here, or we'll have to spend money on rabies shots..."

The footsteps and conversations gradually faded into the distance.

Only then did the group of cats, who had been lying down, dare to slowly straighten up.

There's no way around it; the difference in strength between humans and cats is too vast. Humans won't hold back when dealing with these stray cats.

"What's so magical about this Tiancheng residential complex?" The one-eyed man's expression was somewhat ferocious. "It doesn't matter. No matter what, this Tiancheng residential complex will be ours in a couple of days."

"You guys grab as much food as possible these next couple of days. There's still a tough battle ahead. Once you agree, it'll be our turn to enjoy the good life."

"Listen to the boss!"

Upon hearing what the one-eyed dragon said, the group of stray cats were overjoyed, wishing they could take over Tiancheng Community right now and enjoy wealth and luxury.

"It's because of people like you that humans have such a bad impression of stray cats!"

A voice slowly came from above.

"Who goes there?" One-Eyed Dragon, as expected of someone who had roamed the martial world, reacted extremely quickly. Almost instantly, his back tensed up and the hair on his body stood on end.

"The one who came to issue the challenge."

The sheriff leisurely leaped down from the treetop and landed gracefully in front of the cats, its tail swaying gently, showing no fear whatsoever.

"From Tiancheng Residential Area?" The one-eyed man immediately recognized the human touch in the police chief.

That's a unique, disciplined feeling that comes from living with humans for a long time.

Stray cats should be full of wildness.

"That's right." The sheriff nodded slightly.

"I hate hypocrites like you the most," the one-eyed man sneered. "We're all cut from the same cloth, so why pretend to be so righteous?"

"Even surviving is this difficult, and you're trying to reason with me?"

"If we didn't do this, we would have starved to death long ago. You only see us as stray cats, stealing things from humans and scavenging for garbage. Have you ever thought about why we became stray cats in the first place?"

"Most of my brothers here were abandoned. Some of them couldn't adapt to life on the streets and died young. The rest were forced to hone their claws and teeth, forced to learn the law of the jungle, and forced to survive, which is how we became who we are today."

"What's the point of talking nonsense with you? What are you doing here today? Surrender? Or are you looking for death?" The one-eyed man took a few steps closer with an air of arrogance, his massive body exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression. "If I remember correctly, your tabby cat leader is still recovering from its injuries, right? That bite won't heal for at least ten days to two weeks. If you ask me, you should just obediently give up Tiancheng Community."

"Issue a challenge." Faced with the one-eyed man's provocation, the sheriff neither dodged nor avoided it, but stood tall and proud.

"A challenge?"

The sheriff pulled a leaf from behind him, bearing the clear claw marks of the raccoon, and threw it in front of One-Eyed Dragon.

"Since we're all wandering, let's settle this with the methods of the wandering world."

"Didn't you want Tiancheng Residential Complex?"

"Then let's have a fight. Three days from now, at the unfinished building, we'll have a fight. If we win, you'll swear you'll never set foot on the grounds of Tiancheng Community again."

"What if we win?" The one-eyed man narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Tiancheng Residential Area is yours, we're leaving." The sheriff stood up. "But don't worry, we won't lose."

"Okay, it's a deal then!"

The one-eyed dragon took a sudden step forward, its right claw landing precisely on the leaf. The sharp claw emerged from its paw pad, leaving its own claw mark on the leaf.

The claw marks of Tanuki and One-Eyed Dragon intertwined, exuding a strong murderous aura.

In the world of wandering heroes, this is the answer to the challenge!

"Go back and tell that tabby cat that it has enjoyed a comfortable life for too long and is no longer able to live. It might as well give up Tiancheng Community to us and find a place to retire sooner."

"By the way, is three days enough? Should I give you a few more days?" the one-eyed man mocked. "You're dragging your injured body to fight us. Don't come crying and denying it when you lose, saying your injury hasn't healed yet and that you let us win this time."

The stray cats behind the one-eyed man burst into a series of mocking laughs; some covered their faces and pretended to be serious, while others wailed and howled in despair.

"Is all you've got left is your empty talk? If you don't come crying to us for food in three days, we'll be happy."

The sheriff was completely unaffected by them, and after uttering a single sentence, he strode away.

"We'll see in three days!"
