At this moment, inside a shop on Frost Street.

Dozens of bosses gathered together, their brows furrowed, as if the world was about to end.

"Did he...

really say he wants a 'peach' that looks exactly the same?" one boss tentatively spoke up.

"That's right." "He told me the same thing." "When he handed over that heart, it was still dripping blood...

I was almost scared to death at that time, you know?" "But...

where can we get human hearts for him?" "He wouldn't want us to perform human sacrifices, would he?" "It's really strange, the previous enforcer was domineering, but at least money could solve it, but this Chen Ling...

what does he want human hearts for?" "Today, the neighbor next door told me that they saw Chen Ling walking on the street, eating a heart in three bites..." "!!!" Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened, imagining Chen Ling tearing apart a heart with a wicked smile...

The temperature in the room suddenly dropped.

Gurgle.

Someone swallowed saliva.

The more timid bosses trembled.

"He...

likes to eat human hearts? Isn't that something only demons in legends do?" "He doesn't like to eat, then why carry a big bag of human hearts around?" "So...

where does he get his human hearts from?" "...Wait, the more you talk, the weirder it gets." Zhao Shu, who had been sitting quietly in the corner, couldn't help but speak up, "I know Ah Ling well, I watched him grow up since he was a child, he's a good kid...

it can't be as sinister as you all say, did you misjudge him?" "It's impossible, so many of us saw it!" "Should we report him to the enforcer?" "Are you crazy? Report him to the enforcer? Chen Ling is the enforcer himself! Do you want him to dig out your heart and eat it on the street?" The boss who suggested this shuddered and fell silent.

"So what should we do next...

we can't really get human hearts for him, can we?" The atmosphere of panic and confusion thickened as everyone spoke, and in the end, no one spoke again, instead lowering their heads in silence, seemingly considering whether to move away...

But even if they moved, where could they go? Could they afford houses on other streets? "Here's the thing." The oldest boss slowly spoke up, "Offering human hearts is definitely impossible...

Xiao, you're in the butchering business, right? Get some pig hearts and chicken hearts to send over to him first, see how he reacts..." "Pig hearts and chicken hearts, will that work?" "If it doesn't work, what can we do? We can't get the kind of 'peach' he wants either..." "Let's see how it goes, in any case, everyone must not provoke him, I have a feeling, he is more ferocious than any enforcer we've seen before..." "Understood." ...

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

Chen Ling waited until dark, but the peaches did not arrive.

"Which part of the process went wrong...

does it take so long to buy a few peaches?" Chen Ling was puzzled.

Just as he was about to close the door and go back to rest, a figure walked up to his doorstep.

Seeing the person's appearance, Chen Ling's eyes narrowed slightly...

"Captain Han Meng? Why are you here again?" Han Meng was not wearing the black windbreaker with four stripes today, but casual clothes.

Perhaps for this reason, Chen Ling did not feel any pressure from him this time, as if the person standing in front of him was just an ordinary young man.

"I came to deliver a document to you...

the quota for the Ancient Martial Arts Hall has been approved." Han Meng held a paper between his fingertips and calmly spoke, "How about it? Won't you invite me in for a sit?" After a moment of hesitation, Chen Ling stood up and made way.

Previously, Chen Ling would not have let Han Meng into the house, but since hearing those things at headquarters today, his impression of Han Meng has changed somewhat.

Han Meng naturally sat down at the table, glanced at the neatly stacked enforcer uniforms on the side, and casually asked, "How does it feel to be an enforcer on the first day?" "The power of the enforcer is even greater than I imagined," Chen Ling said lightly, "I'm not used to it." "It's normal, many people are overwhelmed by the sudden power and benefits when they first become enforcers, willingly fall into corruption...

but you haven't, I didn't misjudge you on this." "How do you know I haven't?" Han Meng looked around the drafty room and remained silent.

"Of course, being too weak is not a good thing either, it will make the people think you are easy to bully, you must establish authority appropriately..." Han Meng was halfway through his words when a figure riding a bike happened to pass by Chen Ling's door, perhaps because the doorstep was slippery, he fell to the ground with a thud.

He cursed, about to ride away, but when he saw the house and Chen Ling inside, his expression changed instantly! "I'm sorry! Chief Chen Ling!! I disturbed your rest...

I'm really sorry!!" Without saying a word, he knelt down on the ground and knocked his head three times with a thud.

Then he scrambled up from the snow, as if fleeing for his life, and ran out of the alley without looking back, leaving a bicycle spinning empty in front of Chen Ling's house...

Han Meng: ...? "...

" Han Meng fell silent for a long time, "Your authority...

is quite good." Chen Ling recognized the man who had just fled in panic as the shopkeeper he had met briefly in the afternoon, to whom he had even given a peach...

but he couldn't understand why the man looked at him as if he had seen a ghost.

"Let's talk about business first." Han Meng handed the documents to Chen Ling, "Tomorrow at noon, gather with the other enforcers at the headquarters in District Three, prepare to depart for the ancient armory." "So soon?" It had only been two or three days since the martial examination ended, and he had just put on the enforcer uniform, and he was already arranged to go to the ancient armory? "Normally, the ancient armory opens three months later each year, but there are some exceptions this year." Han Meng paused for a moment, "Yesterday, Districts Five and Six encountered a large-scale convergence of the Gray Realm, and a fifth-order disaster emerged, almost all the enforcers in the two districts died..." "Another Gray Realm convergence?" Chen Ling was astonished, "Isn't it rare for Gray Realm convergences to occur within the human realm?" "It used to be, but recently...

there have been some abnormalities in the Aurora Realm." Chen Ling remembered that Chu Muyun had said something similar before, the rare storm that occurred not long ago caused a convergence at the Potter's Field, and the consecutive heavy snowfall in the past few days triggered large-scale convergences in Districts Five and Six...

it seemed that every chaotic celestial phenomenon would trigger a convergence.

"Related to celestial phenomena?" Chen Ling asked tentatively.

"Perhaps," Han Meng seemed to remember something, his eyes narrowed slightly, "and...

the Twilight Society has also appeared." Hearing the three words "Twilight Society," Chen Ling's mind stirred, and he casually asked, "Twilight Society? What is that?”
