Chapter 252: Choices and Redemption in the Shadows. [251]



Summary

In this chapter, Officer Chen is unexpectedly confronted by her superior, Commissioner Marco, while she is attempting to disarm a bomb. After a tense exchange, he shoots her with a crossbow and reveals his allegiance to a Sicilian gang, explaining his twisted rationale for targeting Longmen as a necessary sacrifice for his family's survival. Chen, injured, attempts to discreetly record their conversation when Marco prepares to detonate a bomb. Just as the explosion occurs, a boy named Orson appears, shielding Chen and absorbing much of the blast with his sword. Orson confronts Marco, who initially underestimates him, but Orson quickly overpowers and severely injures the commissioner, rendering him helpless. Chen witnesses Orson's ruthless transformation as he brutally dismembers Marco, invoking both shock and a complicated sense of relief in her. Despite her initial fear, she embraces Orson afterward, professing her acceptance of him in all his forms. However, their moment is interrupted by ominous beeping sounds signaling more bombs. Chen realizes that Marco likely planted bombs throughout the building, intending to destroy it all in retaliation. Determined to evacuate everyone, she begins to mobilize despite the chaos.
