The man that started the commotion looked like an ordinary thug that one would usually call the police on, but Adam seeing the symbol on his arm, couldn't help but curse his luck even more.

[How do I have 5 points of luck, yet the triad somehow come to the area of the restaurant that I am eating at and cause a commotion] thought Adam to himself as he cursed his luck.

He had made sure to get as much information from Elizabeth and Jaspal as he could, and they were very knowledgeable about the cultivation world and his partnership with them was quite beneficial.

The triad could appear as ordinary people, thugs and any other way that a person could appear, but they would all either have a tattoo of the gang's symbol or wear its badge on their clothing.

The symbol was that of a red dragon with a red circle around it, and it struck fear in the hearts of those that knew what it was.

"Please sir, can you allow the guests to finish their meals before you being your party. In the meantime, I can give you a private room with free drinks" requested a short middle-aged man that seemed to be the manager of the restaurant.

He was respectful to the man and was clearly scared, most likely because he knew about the triad, like most others that lived in Chinatowns would.

"You dare to defy me within my own territory. This restaurant is owned by the Lin Family, and we are the followers of the Lin Family, so can do as we please here" bellowed the triad member as he slapped the restaurant manager, causing him to slam into the ground.

The triad member came with 6 other triad members and with them were many females, that were scarcely dressed and were most likely selling their bodies, and he seemed to be the leader of the small group of triad members.

[Not only is he a triad member, but he also seems to be quite a powerful external cultivator and hasn't come alone. No wonder he is so arrogant, but he better not mess with Chase or my aunt, because I might not be able to hold myself back] thought Adam to himself as he couldn't help but smile slightly.

Adam wasn't looking for trouble, but if trouble was looking for him, he would crush it and walk over it without caring about who had to crush in the process.

Luckily nobody was paying attention to him and his slight smile, and just as Adam thought it couldn't get any worse, a female with a gun in her hand waltzed into the area of the dining hall they were all in.

"NYPD, nobody move and put your hands up" she shouted as she pointed her gun at the triad member that had slapped the restaurant manager.

Adam couldn't help but feel familiar with the female officer and felt as though he recognised her from somewhere.

[She must be the officer that was pursuing me when I initially fought against Chase, and she would have caught us if it wasn't for the secret escape route that me and Chase left from] realised Adam.

Angela Valdez had been secretly investigating the triad, which was one of the biggest gangs in New York and controlled all of the Chinatowns that were all over New York.

She was hoping that at the new Chinatown that was built, if she went into the restaurant undercover, she might be able to acquire some evidence to put some of the members away, as they would mostly get away with all the crimes that they committed.

"Hahahaha, they only sent a single officer. Well, at least you are quite pretty. Do you wanna join our party" mocked the triad member as he licked his lips and gave Angela a lustful look.

"I will decline and you are under arrest for aggravated assault and suspicion of gang affiliation. My name is Detective Angela Valdez, and you will all need to stay here and act as witnesses" she declared.

"Clear out this restaurant and close it down for the rest of the day. As a detective from the Brooklyn precinct, I will be investigating this restaurant for criminal activities and only the people area will need to stay" instructed Angela to the manager who had a red handprint on his face.

It wasn't looking good for Angela, and unless she was willing and prepared to fire at the triad members, with their speed, they would be able to take her down before she had the chance to shoot them.

[Is she really so stupid as to come alone and not call for backup immediately. And why is she always on my trail] thought Adam to himself, who had also seen her name on the reports that Jaspal had shown him about the hooded criminal.

"I am not under arrest and you will regret coming here alone. You go and get all the civilians to another table in the restaurant and close off this area of the dining hall from the rest of the restaurant" instructed the triad member.

The manager did exactly as the triad member said and was too afraid to defy him, even in the presence of a police officer. He knew that she wouldn't be able to do anything to that triad member who had quite a notorious reputation, and began to lead people out of the area and sending them to other areas in the large restaurant.

Chase had moved seats and sat beside Adam's aunt, ready to protect her if anything happens, but was still staying calm and didn't act yet.

Seeing that she was outnumbered and that they were not complying with her orders, Angela had no choice but to call for support.

"Requesting bac...." just as Angela was about to call for backup, seeing that the triad members were laughing at her and resisting arrest, the triad member suddenly dashed towards her.
