Chapter 9 The Most Formidable Figure in Cracsa

• Are all of them linked to Damon?
• Soon after, calm was restored among them.
• Shana was the first to break the silence.
• "Hehe, Vulture Squad? That's quite a humorous name! Surely, it's made up!
• "How are they possibly linked to Damon?
• "They must be actors Damon paid for!"
• Her explanation quickly made sense to everyone present.
• It was just a show!
• A spectacle arranged by Damon to maintain his dignity!
• In a moment, what began as shock quickly turned into profound contempt.
• "Damon, you never miss a chance to show off.
• "I have to say, these folks look a bit alike, and if they were in standard military gear, the similarity would be even clearer!"
• Morris couldn't help but laugh again, seeing Damon as nothing more than a joke.
• Anya joined in, saying, "Damon, you've really let me down!"
• Sighing in resignation, Damon shook his head and quietly said, "They even talked about popping my arm out of its socket."
• As he spoke, the members of the Vulture Squad in the room's eyes went wide as anger surged within them, growing intense.
• Before the ruffians in the room could respond, the members of the Vulture Squad leapt into motion.
• Everyone acted with rapid agility, as seamlessly as a swan embarking on a flight.
• "Ah!"
• "Ouch!"
• "I'm in pain!"
• Suddenly, more than a hundred ruffians lay scattered on the ground in different poses, moaning from their aches.
• The abrupt shift in the situation shocked everyone in the secluded room.
• Over a hundred people incapacitated in under a minute?
• Could these people possess paranormal abilities?
• Morris dabbed at the sweat on his forehead.
• Butch's face became a mask of shock.
• Disbelief was evident on Anya's face.
• Just moments before echoing with the sounds of a skirmish, the room suddenly descended into quiet ...
• Clap, clap, clap.
• "Excellent performance."
• A casual commendation was voiced by Damon amidst a wave of applause.
• Excellent performance?
• Observers in the room were perplexed by the gravity of those words. At the same time, members of the Vulture Squad could barely contain their excitement.
• Receiving accolades from the unbeaten War God was a moment of pure joy.
• Cruice's sovereign acknowledged their performance with an 'excellent performance'.
• Such recognition was a true privilege.
• In perfect synchrony, the Vulture Squad members saluted.
• "Damon, are these individuals your colleagues?"
• Anya looked over at the members of the Vulture Squad, her surprise evident.
• Clearly, these people carried a distinctive vibe, far from the ordinary.
• Yet, how was Damon connected to them?
• Over the last three years, his life seemed to revolve solely around domestic tasks, eating, or sleeping.
• Apart from the occasional trip to the grocery store and brief periods spent away from the Ansons, he stayed within the home.
• Damon looked at her with a smirk, as though he thought she was being naive. "If you have the chance to get to know someone like Morris, why can't I have a few trustworthy friends?"
• Friends!
• What a revelation!
• The members of the Vulture Squad were thrilled once more!
• To be commended by the legendary War God and called friends was more than they could ever brag about!
• "Why is it a problem that I know, Morris? He helps me solve problems. What do you do?" Anya's energy soared as she spoke, her frame quivering with emotion, "Aren't you supposed to be my husband?"
• A person just living off others, bold enough to mock her with his words?
• Really?
• Damon casually shook his head, indicating it was fine as if they were now just strangers.
• "I no longer have any interest in your matters!"
• Three years dedicated to persistence.
• Three years devoted to modesty.
• And yet, it all came to a close.
• His glance moved from Sherry and company, finally resting on Morris.
• "You! You should avoid causing any disturbances." Morris, struck by fear, couldn't help but retreat.
• "Consider this over!" Damon fixed him with a severe look and proceeded towards the exit.
• However, just as they were about to leave the private room, something unforeseen occurred!
• A resounding alarm went off, and police officers barged in.
• "Who's responsible for this chaos?"
• Seeing the disarray and the gangsters sprawled on the ground, the police swiftly drew their guns, aiming at everyone in the room.
• The squad leader barked coldly, "Who can explain what happened here?"
• Upon noticing the new arrivals, Morris promptly got to his feet, extracted a cigarette, and offered it to the squad leader, saying, "Captain Logan, it's a surprise to meet you here!"
• Is Morris well-connected?
• Butch, previously preoccupied with figuring out an explanation, suddenly felt a weight lifted off his shoulders.
• Everyone else in the private room heard a collective sigh of relief.
• "Who might you be?"
• Captain Logan smacked his forehead before it dawned on him, "Ah, Mr. Long! Are you mixed up in all this?"
• With numerous individuals sprawled on the ground, the scene was overwhelming for him.
• Morris hastily waived any involvement moments later, asserting, "I have nothing to do with this!"
• After his declaration, he gestured towards Damon, accusing him, "He's the one responsible. He came here to clash with Butch's crew!"
• Captain Logan's gaze shifted in the direction Morris indicated, landing on Damon, who appeared inconspicuous and was dressed in plain clothes.
• Given his unassuming appearance, he seemed the least likely to be involved.
• The blame was easily cast on those who appeared less threatening.
• "Do you stand accused of causing this disturbance?" Captain Logan pressed with severity.
• Damon held his stare, countering, "Is this the protocol for police investigations?"
• Those in the room were taken aback by his boldness.
• In this dangerous moment, he remained unyielding.
• Was he unaware of the link between Captain Logan and Morris, or was his boldness born out of naivety?
• The crowd watching in the secluded space began hurling accusations, "He's the root of all this trouble!"
• "He's the root of all this trouble!"
• "His crew has beaten down everyone out there!" "Detain him! Make him answer for his actions!"
• "Make him answer for his actions!"
• Encouraged by Morris's support, their confidence swelled.
• Butch chimed in, "Captain Logan, my people were assaulted by his lot. Dwayne will be livid when he finds out!"
• Dwayne, the infamous figure in Cracsa!
• At the mention of Dwayne, a panic surged in Captain Logan's heart, and his look at Damon turned even frostier.
• He was merely a leader of a small team.
• He knew better than to cross paths negatively with Morris's powerful Long family backers or with Dwayne, the most feared individual in Cracsa.
• Close to Captain Logan, Morris whispered, suggesting, "This man is nobody, just a lowly son-in-law living with his in-laws! Lock him up in the station, let him endure hardship, or better yet, have him waste away in prison."
• Repeatedly humiliated, Morris couldn't stand it any longer.
• He was determined to make Damon feel the sting of crossing him!
• With a calculating gesture, Captain Logan concluded internally, "This is a trivial issue, yet ... "
• Without influence or a notable family?
• Imprisonment could very well mean the end for him.
• Morris assured with a chuckle, "You'll be compensated for your trouble, no worries!"
• Pleased, Captain Logan motioned to the members of the Vulture Squad, "You're all in this with him, aren't you? You're coming in for interrogation!"
• Anya's glare towards Damon conveyed a sense of justice served.
• He could have de-escalated the situation by apologising, but his pride got in.
• Now, it seemed he was destined for a life behind bars. "Let's see if anyone dares to oppose!"
• The moment law enforcement neared Damon, the Vulture Squad swiftly positioned themselves.
• Their years of combat experience emitted a formidable presence.
• Just by standing next to Damon, they induced a palpable sense of unease among the police officers.
• Captain Logan, slightly concerned, aimed his firearm at Damon, warning, "Thinking of resisting? Trust me, I'll pull the trigger!"
• The atmosphere among the Vulture Squad turned frosty.
• The room was thick with the tension of impending conflict.
• The moment Damon would give the command, they were ready to spring into action without a second thought.
