From where he was, he could hear the conversation, which was obviously an argument.
On the field, not even a single kid could be spotted. Instead, it was a group of 6 young and middle-aged men, an old couple, and a young lady.
The ones that were involved in an argument were the young lady and the group of 6. As for the old couple, they were just standing there, not sure what to do.
From their expressions, it was clear that they were in a difficult situation, and were not sure what to choose.
"You b*tch, we already told you to get lost. If you continue poking your nose into other people's business, you will regret it!" A middle-aged man wearing a green tank top spoke while aggressively pointing at the lady.
It was just that, as he finished saying those words, the finger that he was pointing at the lady was suddenly grabbed.
Then, before the man could even react, the lady twisted the finger, almost as though she wanted to break it.
"Aargh! Let go! Let go! Aaah!" The man, who had just been talking arrogantly while pointing at the lady began screaming, as he knelt on one knee.
The people around were all shocked by the sudden change of events, and none of them could react for a while.
"Damn it! What do you take us for? Do you know that we are part of the shadow assembly gang? You trespass into our territory, and you are being so aggressive?"
"This b*tch needs to be taught a lesson!"
"F*ck! I never thought that there was someone who did not take shadow assembly gang seriously. If this spreads, it will only make more arrogant and ignorant fools to try undermining the dignity of our gang!"
One by one, the other young and middle-aged men began speaking one after the other, their expressions ferocious.
At the same time, they began approaching the lady, with blunt weapons that they were carrying.
Others held baseball bats, while others had metallic pipes and a fruit knife. And from their expressions, it was clear, they did not have any intention of messing around with this lady.
In the face of such aggression, the lady did not panic at all. Instead, she just coldly looked at the people around, without saying anything.
It was just that, she increased the pressure on the finger, twisting it even further. This made the owner of the finger to scream even more miserably.
As a result, the group that was aggressively approaching her, intending to beat her up, stopped. They all looked at her with both anger and fear in their eyes.
They were angry, considering that recently, after the shadow assembly gang took over the territory of the blood tiger gang, nobody had ever tried messing with them.
After all, most of the gangsters around understood, the leader of Shadow Assembly was linked to someone within the Phantom gang.
Just this relationship was enough to be able to intimidate most of the people, and for that reason, the members of the shadow assembly gang became even more arrogant.
So, now, finding that there was someone that did not give them any respect, how could they not be angry? By now, they had already began getting used to being treated as emperors wherever they went.
The lady simply snorted and said, "I have told you, you better get lost from this place. I want to buy this orphanage, and from what I know, it is not yours. So, why are you lingering here like resentful ghosts?"
The lady's voice contained anger that was about to erupt, but it was clear, she was holding it in. Her eyes were nearly blazing from the rage that she was containing within her.
"What do you mean that this is not our property? This orphanage is within our territory, our jurisdiction. We acquired it long ago, and it is where we train some girls, or new members of our gang." A young man with yellow-dyed hair blurted out.
When the young man said those words, it was as if the lady was even more infuriated. She glared at the young man, making him so scared that he took several steps backwards.
"I'm giving you a final chance, you better scram from this place. Otherwise, I will beat up all of you, making sure that none of you leaves this place without being disabled." The lady spoke once again in a threatening tone.
But instead of the people around being scared by her words, they were only further incensed.
"You are telling us to leave? You better roll out of this place, as this is our territory."
"That's right, do you think that we are the only ones here? Just a single call is enough to bring our brothers over, and if they come, let's see how you will continue being arrogant."
While the members of the shadow assembly gang continued throwing threats, they suddenly heard the sound of footsteps approaching.
When they looked over, they realized that at some point, there was a young man who had entered into the compound of the orphanage.
This young man had medium length dark brown hair and blue eyes. He had a medium build, and, it seemed that he was slightly muscular, which was something that they could observe from his exposed arms.
Part of the biceps that was exposed could show muscles, which while not big, were compacted, with their own charm.
Currently, the young man's slightly handsome face had a frosty expression as he approached.
There was a moment of silence, before someone suddenly blurted out, "Mike? Damn it! Kid, do you know how long we have been searching for you? Finally, you decided to show up?"
It was not just this guy who was surprised by Michael's appearance. Instead, everyone who was currently within the field of the orphanage was shocked by Michael's appearance.
For the old couple, they were familiar with Michael. After all, he had been here for 2 years, before he was taken away by Dante.
During the 2 years that he had been away, he occasionally came over, bringing them some foodstuff and so on.
For the gangsters, of course, they were familiar with Michael. After all, he had been working as an accountant for 2 consecutive years.
It was inevitable that after such a long duration, they had ended up encountering him once or twice, with some of them having interacted with him on several occasions.
The one who had just shouted was the one who had interacted with Michael the most, within the group that was currently present.
Now, for the lady, she was also surprised by Michael's presence in this place. She was none other than Kate, who had decided to come here and deal with the issues that the orphanage was facing.
Recently, she had been investigating Dante, trying to gather as much evidence as she could, to make sure that the guy ended up in jail.
It was during the time that she was gathering the information that she ended up getting the information related to the orphanage.
Of course, due to how much she hated the gangsters, when she realized how they were abusing children in the orphanage, how could she not be even more angry?
Initially, she had thought, she might as well ask some officers from the station that she was working at, to come with her and deal with this issue.
But then again, this was out of their jurisdiction. There was another police post here, where she was working before, that was supposed to be dealing with these gangsters.
If it had been before, Kate would have gone there to ask for assistance. But, for some reason, Edward, who was previously the OIC of the police post, had been transferred to another city.
Now, there was another person who had replaced him, and Kate was not familiar with them. So, she did not go there to ask for assistance.
She came here this time as herself, not as a police officer. She was currently wearing a casual outfit.
Her blonde hair was tied in a high ponytail, with a few strands brushing her face. She was wearing a black leather jacket over a white t-shirt, ripped jeans, and ankle boots.
As she stood there, she gave a sense of confidence and valiance, especially considering that she was holding a grown man's finger, and the man was kneeling on the ground, with an expression of pain on his face.
At this point, Kate was wondering, what was the reason for Michael to appear here? Could it be that he had decided to join the gang once again?
"Hey kid, you better leave. They have been looking for you all this while, they definitely want to do something bad to you." The old man suddenly spoke to Michael, while waving towards him frantically.
The old lady's expression also showed that she was panicking. She said, "Yes, better run. Get as far as possible from this place. If you leave the city, it will be even better."
Kate on the other hand was flabbergasted when she heard the words of the old couple.
She looked at them and asked with a puzzled expression on her face, "You know him?"
