After a night of chaotic combat, Master Er achieved the most significant results. He had captured a large group of men and women fleeing from the compound. Once the fighting ceased, Chen Ke organized men to escort them all to the base.
Master Er had not yet laid eyes on the compound belonging to the premier pirate, Ghost-head Chang, and he was quite curious about it. He ordered Brother Ji to drive into the facility so he could take a proper look. The grounds were riddled with shell craters, buildings lay in ruins, water pipes hissed, and dying pirates groaned on the ground.
As the car drove deeper inside, the local police, who had been delayed earlier, arrived to assist the international police in counting casualties, taking photos for evidence, and filing reports. The international police could not just slaughter the innocent, but if they killed everyone else first, the power of interpretation would remain in their hands. The local police were in a sorry state—their vehicles were wrecked, and the signal towers remained unrepaired. Although the compound’s radio system was back online, it was only turned on when the international police deemed it necessary. Thus, the locals remained cut off from the outside world and had to listen to whatever the international police told them.
