Since the streets were narrow, and were filled with people, Varian thought stampedes were bound to occur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But everyone moved masterfully, deftly avoiding bumping into each other and evacuated the street in a few seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian even saw an old woman using her walking stick to jump over other people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the aura she emitted, she wasn't even a body awakener!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there was a kid who hugged the thighs of a muscular man and escaped!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell was going on here? Are these people trained agents or something?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cossa brotherhood?.\" Edwina muttered and touched his shoulder. The next moment, they appeared on top of a building a few blocks away from the crash scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian easily made out the silhouette of a man coming out from the broken wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man's shirt was torn and dust covered much of his face. Another striking fact of his features was a shark tattoo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's from the Cosa Brotherhood. They're one of the top gangs of the city.\" Edwina introduced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'One of the top, huh.' Varian noted that down and went back to observing the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cosa man wiped the blood dripping down his lips and yelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One of these days, Imma kill you motherfucker for good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response to him, a solid rock flew out and reached his face in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man crouched in a flash and looked up in a snarl. \"You too bitch? You betray the brotherhood?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The targets of his anger were a scrawny man and a short-haired olive skinned woman were standing at one of the entrances of the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm a woman, you faggot! I ain't joining no brotherhood.\" She yelled and flicked her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A spiky thorn made of compact soil was created and shot at the Cosa man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-You!\" The man was obviously enraged. With veins popping up on his forehead, he roared and sped up towards her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of his step covered tens of meters and easily dodging the earth thorn, he reached her in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm still your senior, bitch!\" With a cold smile, he punched down at the now pale woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-Wait!\" The woman hastily put on an earth wall, but it was swiftly broken under the man's punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to the man beside her and called out to him in a pitiful tone. \"Sir, help!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\" All she got was a cold snort followed by words that were sharper than knife. \"Your only purpose was to track him. Viper gang doesn't need any traitors. Die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she died as the Cosa man punched her face into pieces of flesh and bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cosa man quickly turned to the scrawny man and raised his fist. \"You too will—huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish his words, his body shuddered as he looked down to see a sword passing through his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough. Cough.\" The Cosa man coughed out blood and raised his fist once again in an attempt to hit his enemy one last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shuaa!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Viper man pulled the sword out of his chest and slashed it on his neck. Like a broken foundation, blood spilled out and his headless corpse collapsed joined the woman's corpse which was in the same condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood spilled everywhere and of course, on the face of the scrawny man. He licked his lips lightly and muttered. \"Wonderful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only then that Varian observed this man also had a tattoo—it was on his tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tattoo of a viper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This man belongs to viper gang. Caso Brotherhood and Viper gang have been locked in a feud since a year.\" Edwina said casually and turned to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Both of them are under the suspect list of Betty kidnappers. You asked why they want to kidnap her, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm.\" Varian nodded lightly, but kept watching the street. The Viper gang man picked picked the space rings of the dead, jumped onto a hover bike and drove off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't even bother clearing the corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These gangs need resources to grow stronger. And who do they try to kidnap?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Every person who can provide those resources. Wealthy businessmen, awakeners that are strong but not too strong, researchers, officials…\" Varian paused abruptly and arched his brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after the man left, people flooded the streets. Someone dragged off the corpses and threw them into a sewer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the hawkers started yelling once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fresh Sea Lion tendrils ! Special Discount!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Imported Ores! Buy now and sell later!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were bargainings, arguments and some fights in the street. But no one, not a single soul mentioned a word of the previous murder. Nor did they speak about the corpses that was floating in the sewer beside the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was not a shred of difference from before the murder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the fuck is wrong with them?\" Varian felt a sense of alienation. Even though he had seen more deaths on the battlefield, this was something different altogether.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean what is wrong with them? They're perfectly fine.\" Edwina was more surprised by his reaction that what happened on the streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can understand that they can't intervene or even talk about the gang fights. But come one, I can hear it clearly, even their heart rates didn't change looking at the corpses. This is just abnormal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edwina raised a brow and considered his question seriously. In the end, she just shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Happens everyday. I mean, I just wanted to show you the streets and stuff, but we came across a murder. Well, if you go sightseeing to any place, the chance of encountering something like this is over 50%. Public see this everyday and get used to it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"….\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was when Varian realized he was experiencing the two-word term.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultural Shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*** *** ***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A\u002FN: Releases of last 2 days have been halted due to filling priv.
