There was no reason for the Serpent to come looking for him!
William finally understood why Pusduo was so vigilant. The Serpent was the head of the Metropolitan Mafia and their greatest enemy to the Investigation Bureau. The Investigation Bureau had targeted the Serpent's gang many times, conducting raids and undercover operations, most of which ended in failure. Only a few smaller operations managed to gather actual evidence and capture members of the gang.
According to Pusduo, someone like the Serpent would never pay attention to a rookie smuggler. It was akin to being a Gangster Godfather in the Underworld, commanding power and influence—would you really take notice of a Train Station Pickpocket? Logically, absolutely not. Unless that pickpocket had some deep personal connection with you, or unless what he stole was of great importance.
Tonight, however, things were different; the Serpent had come. After years of investigation work, Pusduo suddenly realized that something was off about the smuggled goods on the Transport Ship. Perhaps these rookie smugglers had significant ties to the upper echelons of the Serpent's organization. Only then could they pique the Serpent's interest.
With that thought, Pusduo decisively called for reinforcements, adhering strictly to one core principle: confront the Serpent! No matter what the Serpent intended to do, it was certainly right for the Investigation Bureau to intervene and prevent him from succeeding. As for whether the items on the Transport Ship were too important or if these rookie smugglers were significant, Pusduo didn’t want to speculate further.
People and goods—tonight, the Investigation Bureau wanted them all! They would bring everything back without overthinking it.
After coming to this realization, William felt a surge of excitement. He hadn’t expected to stumble upon such a major event right after starting his job. Just as he prepared to say something, a gunshot rang out!
In less than a second, bursts of gunfire followed. Pusduo’s expression changed dramatically as he no longer paid attention to the newcomer. He pressed his ear against a container, confirming that the bullets were not coming from their side before daring to peek out and observe.
To his shock, he found that the smugglers on the Transport Ship were actually engaging in a shootout with the Serpent's men!
As Pusduo observed the three members of the Serpent Squad firing their submachine guns, he quickly realized that one of them was missing. It dawned on him that this group of Rookie Smugglers was not as inexperienced as he had initially thought. Were they ruthless? Or perhaps they were simply too naïve, like young calves unafraid of tigers? The fact that they dared to strike first and had already taken down one of the Serpent Squad members was astonishing.
Pusduo's mind raced with thoughts, but he also recognized this as an opportunity: Follow me! Without waiting to see if William had heard or could keep up, he crouched low and darted out like a cat.
Using containers and forklifts for cover, he stealthily made his way to the underside of the Transport Ship. Throughout this time, the sound of gunfire above continued unabated. William closely followed behind Pusduo, though his movements were not as agile or discreet.
Thanks to the ongoing gunfight on the Transport Ship, neither side noticed the approach of the Investigation Bureau. The audience was captivated by the action unfolding before them.
"Truly, this is like an action series; there's gunfire every day!"
"Oh God, I love this protagonist! Such initiative! A brave knight's character!"
"I’m even more curious about Pusduo’s shooting skills. He calls everyone a rookie; I wonder how he’ll perform himself."
