Chapter 770: 326_2
For a while, the once-revered goddess Alicia Linder, who had an impeccable reputation in the public eye, became a figure everyone condemned after her death.
In stark contrast to the chaos and ugliness on one side, a popular post on another trending social media thread caught attention. A user by the name Redress had published a lengthy article. In it, they expressed heartfelt gratitude to the Dark Law Enforcer for seeking justice for those who lost their lives due to Jack Thompson’s forced demolitions, and for standing up for justice for their own family.
When the post went live, it was immediately shared and commented on by numerous netizens:
“Thank you, Dark Law Enforcer. Thanks to him, my father can finally rest in peace!”
“I hope the Dark Law Enforcer will continue to eliminate harm for the people and create a fair and just society for us!”
“On behalf of those killed by Jack Thompson, I want to say thank you to the Dark Law Enforcer! Thank you for avenging them!”

Seeing these comments brought a surge of warmth to Lin Mo’s heart.
Everything he had done was to ensure that those depraved villains faced the punishment they deserved, so that kind-hearted people could live their lives in peace and security, no longer burdened by fear and unease.
This was the driving force behind his unwavering journey through the darkness, holding onto his beliefs!
Meanwhile, in a dimly lit room somewhere on Los Angeles Bar Street, a cold, gleaming dagger mercilessly sliced through the abdomen of a girl no older than twelve or thirteen. Blood poured out in an instant, filling the room with a suffocating aura of dread…
Since Lin Mo’s school had no scheduled classes today, he stayed in his dormitory until noon before leisurely stepping out of the building, planning to find something tasty to eat off-campus and indulge himself for a moment.
As soon as he walked out of the school gate, his casually scanning gaze happened to land on a skinny figure under the shade of a tree not far away. There stood a girl on tiptoes, her head twisting this way and that as she anxiously searched for someone.
“Serafina?”
When Lin Mo recognized the girl’s face, a hint of surprise flashed through his eyes. He hadn’t expected to run into her here.
At that moment, Serafina also spotted Lin Mo. Her previously anxious expression was instantly replaced by one of delight. Her big, round eyes sparkled with unconcealed joy, and she slightly parted her crimson lips to flash a sweet smile before dashing toward Lin Mo with light, buoyant steps.
“Big brother, I finally found you!”
Serafina ran up to Lin Mo and, while speaking, fished out a few neatly folded Huaxia Coins from the worn pocket of her school uniform. The bills included fives and tens, and she handed them to Lin Mo, batting her watery eyes with a playful grin: “Thank you for lending me money the other day. Here’s the total—two hundred yuan. All there!”
As Lin Mo looked at Serafina in front of him, he couldn’t help but feel a wave of emotion. It was difficult to reconcile the lively, cheerful girl before him with the silent, timid Serafina he had encountered on Bar Street that other night. The stark contrast in behavior was simply baffling.
“You…”
Lin Mo had just opened his mouth to ask something when Serafina, as if anticipating his thoughts, blinked her bright eyes mischievously and replied half-jokingly: “That night, I was terrified! And Big Brother, you looked so scary—you took down so many people all by yourself! I was scared and didn’t dare say anything. But now it’s different.”
“Different? How is it different? I think I’m still pretty intimidating,” Lin Mo teased with a smile.
Except for dealing with scumbags, Lin Mo hardly spoke to anyone these past days. Encountering such a charming little girl gave him a rare opportunity to relax and chat, savoring this moment of light-heartedness.
“Because I know you’re a good person, Big Brother! You not only saved me but also lent me money so I could get home. No one’s ever cared for me like that before,” Serafina said warmly.
Though her face wore a smile, Lin Mo keenly caught the fleeting sorrow in her eyes. Realizing he might have touched on something painful in the girl’s past, he subtly changed the subject: “So how did you know I’m a student at the Police Academy?”
“Big Brother, you seem mature, but actually, you’re not much older than me, so I figured you must still be a student. Plus, being able to take down so many people alone means you’ve had training. The only school near Bar Street that fits these traits is the Los Angeles Police Academy!”
After finishing, Serafina proudly lifted her head, her face radiating a “compliment me now” expression. She playfully tousled her slightly curled bangs, her cuteness undeniable.
“Impressive!”
Lin Mo chuckled and gave her a thumbs up before continuing, “But today isn’t a weekend. Why aren’t you in school?”
At the mention of “school,” Serafina’s previously cheerful face instantly fell. She pouted and abruptly asked, “Big Brother, you don’t have a girlfriend, do you?”
“Nope, why the sudden question?” Lin Mo said curiously.
“You’re terrible at chatting with girls! Always asking boring questions and hitting sore spots—your emotional intelligence is so low! No wonder you don’t have a girlfriend.”
Pouting, Serafina shook her head in a mock-adult manner and even let out a little sigh.
Watching Serafina’s mix of adorable and silly expressions, Lin Mo couldn’t help but reach out to flick her forehead lightly, teasing, “You cheeky brat! Instead of focusing on studying, you escape school and start analyzing relationships? Get back to class immediately!”
“Ah!”
Serafina yelped, hurriedly covering her forehead and crouching down. After a while, she raised her head, her teary eyes looking pitifully at Lin Mo as she said, “But I’m a good student! Today’s the school’s anniversary celebration, so there aren’t any classes—otherwise, I wouldn’t have come out.”
“Oh…”
Lin Mo froze, an awkward expression creeping across his face.
Serafina then stared at him with a resentful gaze, wrinkling her delicate little nose and saying, “Hmph! You wronged me and flicked me—how do you plan to compensate for that?”
Hearing this, Lin Mo felt a sudden headache coming on. He silently sighed to himself—young girls these days were indeed hard to deal with.
“Okay, you know what? Forget about the two hundred yuan. Consider it compensation for you.”
Opting for the “if you can’t beat them, avoid them” approach, Lin Mo turned to leave after offering his solution.
But before he could fully turn away, the quick-moving Serafina grabbed his sleeve and spoke in a commanding tone, “No way! Fair is fair—the money I owe you is separate. You can’t refuse it.”
Saying this, Serafina stuffed the money back into the pocket of Lin Mo’s shirt.
“Sigh…”
Lin Mo sighed helplessly, silently vowing never to engage in casual conversation with young girls again—they were far too tricky.
With that thought, he turned back around and asked resignedly, “So what do you want instead?”
Serafina’s dark eyes sparkled mischievously. She squinted and flashed a crafty smile, “Take me to the amusement park. I’ve never been to one before.”
“Amusement park?”
Lin Mo frowned slightly, pondering for a moment. Since he had nothing else planned for the day and felt quite fond of Serafina’s quirky charm, he nodded and agreed:
“Alright, but we can’t stay too late—it would be inconvenient otherwise.”
