The Devil's Cage

Hoskin"s face looked heavier than ever before .

After bringing up Teresa"s call log and finding two familiar numbers, Hoskin was relieved .

The young officer was afraid of finding an unfamiliar number .

The chief officer might be hot-tempered and acted in a rigorous and resolute manner but the young officer admired her, not the kind of awkward feeling but the admiration of a senior from a junior because Teresa too had a heart of justice despite the methods of displaying it being different .

"It"s the station"s bomb disposal unit and operation unit"s number, both were landlines!"

Hoskin said before handed the phone back to Kieran after a slight hesitation .

He originally wanted to give the phone back to Teresa but when he saw the utmost rage from her face, he gave up instantly .

Different from the young officer who dared not get on the bad side of his chief officer, even after giving a punch to her stomach, Kieran slide back the phone into her pocket naturally .

"Your suspicion is removed . Now I can share that little secret with you . But, let us take care of some trouble first . "

Kieran slid his hand into Teresa"s coat while he spoke .

"YOU!"

Still hadn"t regained her mobility, Teresa widened her eyes at Kieran"s actions as though she was a cougar prying on its prey .

Hoskin"s jaw dropped and looked unbelievable at the scene, even though Kieran only took out the gun from Teresa"s waist, Hoskin couldn"t cover his astonishment .

Kieran didn"t even care about the two and jumped down from the second floor after getting what he wanted .

The moment Kieran leaped down, the main entrance of Dancing Diva was smashed to pieces with a loud bang .

A couple of figures nimbly rolled into the main hall with tactical movements .

Bang Bang Bang!

Shots were fired .

After the a.s.sault squad attackers had gotten into place through their tactical movement, they limped down on the floor with a face of shock . They couldn"t believe there was someone with such fast reactions and skilled shooting .

In the attacker"s expectations, their swift a.s.sault would surely catch everyone inside the nightclub by surprise, even if there was any counterattack, they would effectively dodge the attacks with their hard-trained tactical movements .

Even if they were shot, their bulletproof vest would provide enough protection and minimize the damage to their weak spots to the limit .

All the plans would come to play if they didn"t come across Kieran .

Despite his attributes and skills being weakened, Kieran still had S+ Intuition and Musou [Firearm Weapon, Light Firearm] .

It was beyond the comprehension of a regular person . Using his skills to deal with commoners elites would be too easy, even more so when their numbers were limited, Kieran would get them easily .

Before really touching the floor, Kieran tapped his feet on the wall and threw himself further out . As he flew outside, he saw the rest of the attackers coming in .

When the first team was wiped out, the remaining attackers were stunned .

Their death was determined within a blink of an eye .

Bang Bang Bang!

Another three shots were fired and three of the remaining attackers fell into their own blood .

The whole process didn"t even last 5 seconds .

When Kieran gathered a big pile of spoils of war and went back upstairs, he was greeted by Hoskin"s admiration and Teresa"s ever growing doubt .

"2567, you . . . you are awesome!" Hoskin even stuttered because of his admiration .

He upheld justice and admired the strong, which totally fit the traits of a man his age, so did the chief officer .

"What are you going to do with these weapons?"

Teresa pointed at the a.s.sault rifle, magazines, grenades and bulletproof vest that Kieran took .

"I think we might need more firepower to live through the rest of the time, though I suppose I"d trained my body and shooting skills quite well before but I don"t think I am well-trained in being hit by a bullet . "

Kieran said as he put on a bulletproof vest and handed another to Hoskin .

Hoskin put it on instinctively and even took an a.s.sault rifle from Kieran .

Kieran then walked towards one of the corners of the office .

There was a big heavy wooden cupboard that was connecting the ceiling . It would need at least three to four men to move it but Kieran could move it alone .

Still, in order to act normal, he used both his hands and pretended to use all his effort .

Tssssk!

The wooden cupboard was pushed aside, revealing a hidden entrance behind amidst the dragging screech .

Fuuu!

The air that came through the seam was very humid and cold .

Teresa was shocked when she saw the hidden entrance behind the cupboard .

"This is what you found just now?"

Kieran didn"t reply but he activated [Tracking] again to scan the place .

He saw a set of white footprints that went inside the entrance and it was the same footprints that he found in the room .

"Yup!"

Kieran nodded after double checking the unclosed hidden entrance .

The gears in his mind spun rapidly to a.n.a.lyze the current situation .

"The one who interrogated Barney the "Jackal" was calm when he entered Dancing Diva with a neat manner . The person didn"t forget to leave a surprise for those who came later . Yet after interrogating Barney, the person got upset and grumpy, not only did they not clean the traces in the office, they didn"t even close the hidden door . If the person was so upset to forfeit their vigilance, that means…"

"The person didn"t get what they wanted from Barney!"

Following the changes of the traces, Kieran painted a picture of the altered actions of the person .

Kieran was relieved . It was easier to face an opponent who was infuriated, regardless of during combat or questioning . His opponent might spill information that they weren"t supposed to under the influence .

If [Fusion Heart] wasn"t sealed off, he would use Wrath to easily achieve it but now all he could rely on was himself .

Since his decision was made, Kieran went through the hidden entrance without stopping .

Teresa and Hoskin followed too but Kieran stopped Teresa .

"I think we better split up, aren"t you curious who the h.e.l.l exposed our whereabouts? I don"t want to find myself being chased by a full squad of armed thugs when I am finding clues . "

"Oh right, that mayoral candidate, I hope you can find out why he was at the Winchester House during the explosion . I suppose your C . O . ident.i.ty would be more suitable to ask questions . "

Kieran said with a smile when Teresa was glaring at him .

The explanation was enough to persuade Teresa but Kieran added on when he noticed the slight relief on Teresa"s face .

"If it"s not too much of a trouble, try to cover our tracks as well, at least before the mole in the station is exposed . "

"Fine!"

"Hoskin, you better watch him closely!"

Teresa nodded to an agreement but she didn"t forget to order her young subordinate .

"Yes, Madam!"

After Hoskin replied loudly, Kieran closed the entrance from inside by pulling back the wooden cupboard . It wasn"t all that hard since there were two handles behind the cupboard which allowed one to exert strength easily .

When everything was settled, Hoskin switched on the torchlight on his bulletproof vest and shed a straight light ahead .

"Hoskin, what else do you know about Barney the "Jackal"? Anything will do, whether they"re rumors or what not . " Kieran asked as both of them advanced forth .
