Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared
Chapter 822

Chapter 822: 822

After a night of warfare, this foreign city was left battered and bruised. Though calm had returned, the lingering smell of gunpowder hung heavily in the air.

This was an unprecedented event. The law enforcement was furious, detesting the gang members and resolved to arrest the gang leaders, intending to make an example of them to teach a lesson to those who defied the law, demanding they pay the price for their actions.

Naturally, the Lone Wolf Gang and the Black Night Gang were targeted. It was they who stirred up trouble; there was no reason to let them off the hook. But unexpectedly, within just one night, the Black Night Gang had absorbed so many other gangs, significantly strengthening its forces and completely overtaking the Lone Wolf Gang to become the largest gang in the city.

Helen was surprised. Even with the city’s two major gangs in Organization X’s hands, they were no match for the current scale of the Black Night Gang, and she had this hunch that the Black Night Gang seemed to be expanding at all times, swallowing other gangs. If this continued, trouble was brewing.

Qiao Ya found it odd. The Black Night Gang’s rise to power was too rapid, too abnormal. An investigation into the gang’s background was necessary to identify who was currently in charge. Moreover, the Black Night Gang also seemed interested in the space-time door, not to seize it, but to destroy it. To achieve this goal, they were truly sparing no expense. If it weren’t for the Black Night Gang’s reckless behavior last night, such a massive incident wouldn’t have occurred.

At this moment, Helen received a call. It was from higher-ups in Organization X, instructing Helen, Qiao Ya, and Dong Ni to quickly retreat to avoid further loss of control.

Helen insisted they could not retreat, for to do so would be to hand over the space-time door to the enemy. It was crucial to remember that the enemy’s goal was not to seize but to destroy the space-time door. If they pulled out now, they could kiss the space-time door goodbye for good.

However, Qiao Ya also felt that now was the best time to retreat because the Black Night Gang could come for the Lone Wolf Gang at any moment, and then they wouldn’t be able to leave.

Helen disagreed. It was daytime, and she didn’t believe the Black Night Gang would make a move at this time, especially after the chaos of the previous night; they should be lying low.

Suddenly, a loud blast was heard; the villa’s front gate was blown open, followed by many people barging in. The Black Night Gang had unexpectedly attacked the headquarters of the Lone Wolf Gang.

"You’ve got to be kidding, you dare to come out now?" Helen and Qiao Ya were shocked. Even Organization X had never been so brazen.

The Black Wolf Gang immediately tried to persuade a surrender, looking to absorb the Lone Wolf Gang, but the boss of Lone Wolf Gang wouldn’t have it. He led his subordinates in a counterattack, resulting in a shootout with both sides not caring if they drew the attention of the law enforcement anymore.

Under the leadership of Helen, Qiao Ya, and Dong Ni, the Lone Wolf Gang fought valiantly, killing and injuring many of the invaders, and quickly gaining the upper hand.

"Is this all the Black Night Gang is capable of? Don’t tell me you’ve become overconfident," Helen felt the situation stabilizing, ready for a full counterattack soon.

Soon, the grating sound of police sirens could be heard outside the villa, signifying that the battle between the two gangs had successfully drawn the attention of the law enforcement, who were now on the scene.

Just as another massive melee like last night was about to begin, all those piercing sounds abruptly vanished, replaced by tremendous blasts. Helen and Qiao Ya watched in horror as several law enforcement vehicles were blown apart.

The ranks of the Black Night Gang swelled, their members fearless and diehard. The crazed look in their eyes carried an apathy, giving off the impression that they were being controlled.

This piqued Helen’s curiosity. How had the Black Wolf Gang undergone such a change? How were they so fanatical and courageous, daring to fight and risk it all?

As Qian Ye walked into the villa, he shouted, "Catch the boss of Lone Wolf Gang, if there’s any resistance, show no mercy."

Upon hearing the voice, Qiao Ya poked his head out. Then, seeing this familiar face, my god, wasn’t that Lin Xi? It looked like she was commanding the Black Night Gang.

Knowing Lin Xi’s capabilities, Qiao Ya suddenly realized why the Black Night Gang had risen so quickly. He also knew he was no match for Lin Xi, so he gave up on the idea of confronting her and, taking Helen’s hand, they left.

Soon, members of the Black Night Gang spotted the fleeing boss of the Lone Wolf Gang, Helen, Qiao Ya, and Dong Ni. Just as the Black Night Gang was about to pursue them, there came the piercing sound of police sirens, and this time there were many of them.

With no other choice, Qian Ye decided to deal with the urgent issue at hand. As for those from Lone Wolf Gang, if they got away, they got away. Today could serve as a lesson to them, seeing if they’d dare to compete again in the future.

Helen, Qiao Ya, Dong Ni, and the boss of Lone Wolf Gang finally managed to escape, feeling a chill down their spines. Looking back at the villa ablaze with a raging fire, they felt a deterring force and lost any thoughts of battling the Black Night Gang.

Qiao Ya told the boss of Lone Wolf Gang to take the people to another place and regroup, but his real intention was to send the boss away because he had something to discuss with Helen.

Helen, with a face full of unwillingness, voiced her frustration, "Damn it, our Organization X has never been afraid of anyone. To be hunted down and flee in such disgrace, I can’t swallow this humiliation."

"Even if you can’t swallow it, you have to," Qiao Ya said sternly, and then he added, "Helen, do you know who was leading the Black Night Gang just now? That person is Lin Xi, Gu Fan’s girlfriend. She’s not simple; she knows magic."

Shocked by this revelation, Helen responded, "What, the same person you encountered in the Triangle Sea Area before? I thought you were making up an excuse for your operation’s failure!"

Dong Ni, annoyed, retorted, "How could we be making it up? If the organization didn’t believe us, they wouldn’t have let us off easily. Plus, it was your grandfather who pleaded for us."

"I never understood why my grandfather believed your tale about the Triangle Sea Area," Helen replied, her expression grave as she looked at the villa ablaze with fire, then continued, "He told me many things in the past, revealing some secrets of Organization X. I found some of the stories absurd, like they were made up, so I never took them to heart. Now it seems that all of it was true, which is why my grandfather believed your story."

Qiao Ya and Dong Ni exchanged bewildered looks, unsure what the heiress was getting at.

Helen smiled faintly, "I remember my grandfather telling me that the organization has some people with supernatural abilities. I thought it was just talk, not believing that such people existed in the world, and I had never seen one for myself."

Qiao Ya began to understand, "It seems you believe it now."

"Indeed, I not only believe it now, but I also think the best way to deal with people with supernatural abilities is to send others with similar gifts," Helen replied, her lips curving into a smile as she began dialing a number.

"Hello, Grandpa, do you remember what you told me?"
