Just as the hand was about to touch his coat pocket, Kieran grabbed it and twisted it a little.
Crack!
The sound of a joint breaking was heard.
[Grappling: Strength Suppressed Target by 2 Ranks, Inflicts 20 Damage to Target HP, Dislocated Target's joint …]
"Aaaaargh!
Let go! Let go! My wrist is broken! "
The thief screamed in pain.
He did not even try to hide his pain. Not only did he scream loudly, but he also knelt down with tears and snot flowing down his face.
The sudden scream and the sudden change in the situation attracted everyone's attention.
The hostage-taker and Carl, who confronted the hostage-taker, were no exception.
However, the hostage taker reacted faster than Carl.
He pushed the hostage in his hand towards Carl. After stopping Carl, he waved his dagger frantically and ran out of the crowd.
In front of the sharp daggers, the surrounding people all gave way.
A green passageway was formed in the crowd.
However, at the end of the passageway, Kieran slowly appeared.
"F * ck off!"
The murderer had no intention of showing mercy to Kieran, who had blocked his escape. The dagger in his hand was aimed straight at Kieran.
The dagger was fast and vicious.
However, it was not very accurate and lacked the corresponding technique.
From Kieran's Master Level [Sharp Weapon, Dagger], the dagger was full of flaws.
Other than the advantage of Strength, the dagger was useless.
His Strength was only on par with a common man.
Compared to Kieran, whose Strength had reached E- Rank, the difference was too big.
Kieran stood there, calculating his opponent's attack without dodging or dodging.
From the crowd's point of view, Kieran was scared out of his wits.
What a pitiful man!
Many of the crowd showed pity in their eyes.
Of course, that was the limit of their merciful hearts.
As for saving Kieran?
Looking at how they hid even further away, as if they were afraid of being splashed by the blood that was about to spurt out, it was obvious what their choice was.
However, not everyone was unconcerned.
"Be careful!"
After Karl pushed away the hostages in front of him, he saw this scene and immediately shouted.
At the same time, he struggled to get up from the ground and rushed towards Kieran.
However, just as the young policeman stood up, the madly rushing murderer was sent flying back and fell in front of him, vomiting blood.
What happened?
Karl stood rooted to the spot.
The surrounding onlookers also had the same expression.
It was really too fast. Everything happened in the time it takes for a spark to fly off a flint. No one could clearly see what was going on.
Only Kieran, as the person involved, knew what was going on.
When the murderer was about to get close to him, Kieran moved his feet slightly, then lifted his leg and kicked straight. The murderer's dagger brushed past Kieran's coat, but Kieran's foot landed squarely on the murderer's lower abdomen.
Kieran's Strength had reached E-.
When he attacked with his legs, he triggered [Hand-to-Hand Combat]'s Master of Kicks and his Strength had increased by 1 point, reaching E Level.
His Strength had far surpassed a normal person's.
According to what Kieran had learned from Lawless, he used his Strength as an example.
F-: Not as strong as an adult male, a woman's Strength is at this level.
F-: Normal adult male's Strength.
F +: Regular training, the strength of the coolies at the station and dock.
E-: Amateur weightlifter.
E: The best of the professional weightlifters.
E +: The absolute champion among weightlifters.
Above E +, when it reached D, it was in the category of innate divine power.
Kieran's strength was not innate. He was not even an E + level weightlifter's champion. Even the best of the professional E + level weightlifters had relied on the special effect of [Hand-to-Hand Combat], which allowed him to fight with his legs. However, that did not mean that Kieran's strength was beyond that of a normal person's.
Just look at the culprit on the ground, vomiting blood.
[Direct Kick: Inflicts 70 (Hand-to-Hand Combat (Master) HP) Damage to target...]
"Carl, I think he is the culprit you're looking for!
"Bring him back to Hardedef. I'm sure Hardedef will be very happy!"
Oh right, there's also this guy. He should be one of the thieves in the area. You should be able to catch a group of pickpockets from him! "
If people don't offend me, I won't offend them.
At first, Kieran chose to turn a blind eye to the thieves.
Kieran knew that these guys were like weeds around the train station. If one of them disappeared, someone else would take its place. It was like a wildfire that couldn't be extinguished, and a spring breeze would blow it back up again.
However, in the end, these thieves had made a move on him.
In fact, it almost ruined his original plan.
Since things had come to this, Kieran would not sit back and do nothing.
Kieran was not a person who was used to swallowing insults.
He was more used to taking the initiative to solve problems.
"Yes... Yes, sir!"
The young policeman came back to his senses after listening to Kieran's words. His stuttering words showed that he was still in shock.
Of course, it had nothing to do with Kieran.
[Sub Mission: The Dead Woman in the Police Station! (Completed)]
Looking at the mission completion notification, Kieran quickly walked to the side and called for a wagon.
Kieran did not forget that he had more important things to do.
"St. Paolo School!"
Kieran said to the wagoner.
...
St. Paolo School. The prefix was enough to describe its nature.
It was a church school.
Just like any other church school, St. Paolo School was famous for its strict rules and high quality of education.
Especially the latter. Many parents in the city were more than willing to send their children to school there. It was even more so after the "no forced religion" decree was passed down.
However, St. Paolo School had also increased the tuition fees.
It had changed from a cheap school to an expensive half-public, half-church school.
However, the strict rules and high quality of education had not changed.
In other words, St. Paolo School had become a school for the nobles in the city.
If one was not a child from a rich family, they could not even dream of entering.
Kieran sat in the wagon, recalling everything he knew about St. Paolo School.
Kieran did not comment further on the school.
Whether it was the "no forced religion" decree or the changes in the church school, it was the same.
With the advent of gunpowder, firearms, and the spread of knowledge, it was inevitable.
All of this was inevitable.
However, the special privileges were still preserved.
Before Kieran's wagon could even get close to St. Paolo School, it was stopped by a policeman.
There was a sentry box on both ends of the street.
There were policemen on duty 24 hours a day.
That was not all the security forces in St. Paolo School.
There was also a school security team that obeyed the school's orders.
The latter was the main point in Kieran's opinion.
After all, Altilly Hunt could not have learned swordsmanship and marksmanship out of thin air, and the weapons were not something she could have gotten her hands on. Given how worried the merchant was about his daughter, he would not have allowed her to get close to those things.
Altilly Hunt understood that as well.
That was why she had hidden those things well.
Kieran also believed that someone had taught her how to hide those things.
At the very least, using the floor as a partition without damaging the ceiling downstairs was not something an ordinary person could do.
Someone must have taught Altilly swordsmanship, shooting, and even taught her how to hide. Not only to hide things, but also to hide herself.
It was not easy to hide from her parents.
Kieran believed that the person who had taught Altilly Hunt was a key clue.
It was obvious that Altilly Hunt trusted the person. After running away from home, Altilly would most likely contact the person.
Kieran's mind was filled with such thoughts, but his reaction was not slow. He quickly took out the letter of appointment when the patrol officer asked.
"Sir, you may pass, but only on foot."
"Very well."
Kieran did not refute the policeman.
Kieran wanted to enter a place to investigate and search, so he did not want to cause any trouble before he even entered the place.
He paid the driver for the ride.
Kieran quickly walked towards the school gate.
The old school gate showed the history of St. Paolo School to the world, and the new classroom building showed the vitality of the school.
"Sir, please stop!"
As Kieran neared the school gate, he was met with a second round of security checks.
It was a middle-aged man, obviously a member of the school security team. He was wearing a loose priest robe, but with his sharp senses, Kieran noticed that he was carrying a weapon under his robe.
It was not a cold weapon like a dagger or a dagger, but a flintlock or a flintlock.
"Tight security!"
Kieran thought to himself, but he cooperated and stopped walking. "I am Kieran, a consultant for the police. I am here for some business."
Kieran was not sure if the man knew about Altilly Hunter's disappearance.
However, considering the effect it would have on Altilly, Kieran chose to be vague.
The man frowned at Kieran's vague answer.
But when he saw the letter of appointment in Kieran's hand, he did not press Kieran further. He just made a hand signal to the side.
Immediately, a member of the school security team in the same attire ran into the school.
"You'll have to wait. I can't let you into the school on my own, even if you have the letter of appointment from the police station! "
The man said.
"Of course!"
Kieran said with a smile.
Seconds turned into minutes.
Kieran waited patiently on the spot.
About ten minutes later, the security team member who left returned with an elderly lady following behind him.
