"The waiter, what's the meaning of this? Why are the lights suddenly turned off like this?" Hayley protested, raising her voice.There was no answer and no one came, but Tony, with his heightened sense of hearing, could hear the unusual footsteps in the hallway.Tony immediately pushed his chair back and stood up."What are you doing, Tony? Where are you going?" Jade asked, looking at Tony anxiously."I'm going to check the situation. You all stay here," Tony said firmly.Jade attempted to grab Tony's hand to hold him back, but Tony moved first.Everyone at the table looked at Tony confusedly as he walked towards the window."Why is he doing this, Josh?" Sasha whispered."I don't know," Josh whispered back."Don't let him embarrass us," Sasha whispered again.Tony actually heard those whispers, but he chose to ignore them.Right now, standing near the window, he looked down, checking for any suspicious movements below.'Or maybe above?' he thought, tilting his head up to the sky.Unfo

Tony unleashed a barrage of shots, toppling one gunman who appeared at the door.But the other gunmen survived. Jade only had a split second to run to the corner of the room, seeking shelter with the others.Seeing that Jade needed more time to get out of the gunmen's line of fire, while the gunmen themselves were aiming their rifles and ready to shoot, Tony took the risk to charge at them.He ran, darting like he did in the corridor, closing the gap between him and the gunmen in an instant.Bang! Bang! Bang!The gunmen fired shots, this time aimed at him, but Tony zigzagged and evaded them.Now Tony kicked the foremost gunman, yanked the arm of another, and slammed him down.Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!Tony went berserk. He kicked and punched the gunmen and returned fire. Unlike the gunmen's shots, most of Tony's shots hit their marks.If only he hadn't run out of bullets, Tony would have taken down all the gunmen.Realizing that Tony had finally run out of bullets, the remaining three g

"What does this mean?" Tony asked, turning to glance at the police officer named Smith."No ordinary civilian could handle those criminals alone. Who are you really?" Smith questioned in return."If I told you who I really am, you might wet your pants!" Tony retorted irritably.Just when he thought all the problems of tonight were over, now he found himself in this situation.Hearing Tony's remark, Smith burst into laughter."You're quite confident. Alright. Let's see if you're still this confident after I interrogate you later!" Smith said, pressing the barrel of his gun against Tony's back more firmly.Tony grinned, not because of the pain in his back, but because of the pain from the gunshot wound on his left shoulder.Tony should have tended to his wound quickly, but he had to postpone it."Shackle this guy!" Smith ordered, turning Tony to the right.A police officer approached and handcuffed Tony's hands in front. Whether intentionally or not, the officer cuffed him very tightly.

Armored military vehicles entered the hotel area. Three of them headed straight to the hotel parking area in the basement. Mark was in one of those vehicles.Worried that Tony was facing a group of gangsters or the like, Mark mobilized two units totaling more than fifty people.They were all armed. Mark was ready to give orders to shoot if the situation demanded it.And when the car he was riding in stopped in the basement parking area, Mark got out immediately.With him were a dozen soldiers. One of them pointed towards the guard post. They moved there, aiming their rifles and staying alert.The closer Mark got to the guard post, the more he could see that Tony was there, along with several other men.Mark quickened his pace, followed by his men.One of his men then kicked down the guard post door."Don't move!" shouted Mark's man.The people at the guard post, including Smith and other policemen, widened their eyes in shock. Except for Smith, the other policemen reflexively raised t

"What do you mean, Inspector? Are you asking for this processed interrogation to be canceled? All of it?" the police officer asked."Yes. Wasn't my order clear enough?" Smith retorted, glaring at the police officer."But, Inspector, didn't you yourself order this interrogation to be conducted? Why are you suddenly giving the order to cancel it? This is the final interrogation and it's almost finished.""If I said cancel it, then cancel it! Is my order not clear enough for you?!"Smith said it loudly, almost shouting.The police officer was taken aback. Why was Smith suddenly so irritable?Josephine, who had been watching Smith since the inspector came in to the room, was also startled.She remembered her conversation with Hayley earlier, and now she was even more inclined to believe what Hayley had said—that the police in this precinct were corrupt.Just think about it, why would an interrogation that had been ongoing for almost an hour suddenly be requested to be canceled, and all th
