Angela drove to the location that the officer below her relayed to her and at the scene, there were already police and ambulances.

There was blood everywhere and where Adam beat up a gang that had previously been involved in rape.

He was shocked by how cruelly they were beaten, but what surprised him even more was the knowledge that only one person was able to take down so many people, who were armed.

There is a yellow ribbon of police around the area as they gather information about what happened, and Angela after showing her NYPD badge showing them that she is a detective, is allowed in.

"Is anyone still conscious, or is there a witness who knows what happened?" ask Angela to the first officer to the scene.

"We have no eyewitnesses other than the victims who are currently receiving medical treatment, but we have received reports that this hooded man has been moving throughout the rugged Brooklyn borough, it seemed to force them to join his organization" the officer told, telling him everything he knew.

Angela makes a list of all the reported areas, then with a map she has formed over the years in the police force, which shows her all known criminal areas, he finds a pattern with all the areas that the hooded criminal will go to.

"He went to a gang that has no faith or loyalty at the moment with a larger criminal organization" Angela exclaimed in her car as she discovered a pattern in Adam's appearance over the past few days.

His police office and many others in Brooklyn, all of whom are part of the NYPD, have a brief knowledge of areas with small criminal groups.

However, with money and a good lawyer, it is very difficult to punish them without real evidence, which is why there are still many well-known criminal organizations that can always escape their crimes without facing consequences.

While the cultivation family was completely above the law and could overwhelm the government authorities with their power and power, they had behind the scenes, which the higher-ups in the government were sure to watch out for.

As long as there was a balance in power, both the cultivation family and the government were mutually beneficial.

Cultivation families acted as a protection for the country and could be seen as a military force against any other country, while the government would cover the traces of the cultivation family, while allowing them to do as they wished.

However, New York's peace and balance are beginning to falter as friction between the largest families continues to escalate.

"Following this pattern, it's likely the next gang should be the one that's in this area" Angela muttered to herself as she tried to figure out the location of the next hooded criminal.

He had 3 possible gangs that Adam could go to and had no idea which of them were among them, so had no choice but to head towards the three one by one.

Not all the gangs Adam visited had been reported and he had only answered police calls, but the three locations were the ones he was most likely to see on his map.

Driving as fast as she could without crashing, Angela headed to the first possible location and upon arriving was disappointed that she was not there.

But what frustrates him the most is that he finds some gang members unconscious on the ground, while other gang members and hooded criminals are nowhere to be seen.

"Destroyed bastard, I will arrest you and find out who you are" Angela vowed in frustration as she headed to her second location.

"It's too long and I may not be able to get there in time" Angela muttered as she reached the second location to find the same.

"The only place left is the bigger gang and is the opposing gang of the Wolf Fang Gang, which has now disbanded" Angela said as she hurriedly headed there.

Angela has quite detailed information about a small-time criminal organization, which she has collected during her time as a detective, however, she is, he had no information about a larger criminal organization that was not publicly known.

But the information is not enough to warrant arrest or convict them because it's just a rumor in court without evidence, and finding evidence is hard for a detective to do, he said, especially in the NYPD state that is currently underfunded.

Angela doesn't want to keep turning on her siren while driving to the last possible location she knows of, but she has no choice if she wants to be able to get through traffic and drive fast.

In order to gather all the information and reports she needed, while also finding the pattern of the hooded villain's appearance, Angela had spent a lot of time.

Within hours of trying to find where the hooded criminal was, Adam had relayed Elizabeth's message to dozens of small gangs, and had reached the top floor of the building that was the last gang base on his list.

Adam stormed upstairs, knowing that his presence had been revealed and that everyone already knew about it, and was shocked by what he saw.

There was one door on the top floor that led to a large flat that filled the entire floor.

Kicking the door, it was as if he had suddenly been moved to China because the decor and style of his flat were completely different from what he had expected.

There was a large hall-like room that had all kinds of training equipment and weapons and in the middle of the room was a large muscular man who made unusual movements and seemed to be practicing martial arts.

"I wonder what the commotion is, but it seems we have an intruder who has coveted my method" recounted the man.

From a single sentence of his speech, Adam could tell that he had the ancient and rigid personality expected of a cultivator.

However, after finding his master, who was the strongest cultivator Adam had ever encountered, who had a lazy and arrogant attitude that was incompatible with what was expected of a cultivator, he said, Adam no longer aligned his personality with strength and felt that the man in front of him was quite strange.

Adam neither confirmed nor denied his assumptions, but when he mentioned a method, Adam suddenly became interested in what it was and confirmed his thoughts about something precious on the top floor.

"If you fight me and win, you can take my treasure, my legacy, and my people as your reward" the man said as he held the cane in his hand.

[Is there a cultivator who does not have a strange personality) Adam thought to himself because he had yet to find a normal strong cultivator.

"Stop acting weird, just give up your methods and submit to me, then there's no need to fight and you can really do something with your life being said" Adam sneered.

"This is just my small step on my way to the top, and through training and meditation I was able to reach a state where I was fused with the energy of the world" the man said as he approached Adam.

What surprised Adam was that even though he approached him for battle, his status did not appear and that meant he was either too powerful to be noted by the system or had no malicious intentions towards him.

Reading the aura around his body, Adam knew that he was no stronger than himself, so it definitely meant that he had no malicious intentions towards him.

[It seems like this freak is really crazy, and it doesn't seem like a bad guy] Adam thought to himself.

He was a bald man and everything about him was similar to what was expected of an ancient monk, aside from his tall and muscular body.

"How about this, if I defeat you, you must submit to me and surrender your methods" Adam offered.

Although his offer would not be accepted by any sane person who had common sense, Adam could see that the monk-like man was unusual and would risk his fortune for a worthless duel.

"I accept your offer" said the foolish monk.

Adam could not help but laugh at the ease with which the man would submit to him, and Adam could see that he had only secured his position with his strength.

But Adam can also see that he is not interested in gangs and is more focused on improving himself, while the monk's temperament makes Adam feel that he is trustworthy.

"OK, then we must be fair and you must fight with our fists" said Adam, exploiting the truth and ignorance of the monks.

The monk nodded and threw away his staff, but at that moment, without telling the monk, Adam attacked, making use of the gap that presented itself.
