Report

Kieran's squinted eyes were filled with killing intent.

Kieran didn't mind taking out enemies who wanted to kill him.

It was because John had taken the initiative to attack that Kieran had no choice but to give up.

But now?

Kieran didn't think there would be any more trouble.

"What a surprising coincidence!"

Kieran smiled as he looked at the young officer.

"I'm sure you won't mind my help, Carl.

Can you tell me where you're fighting? "

Kieran asked.

"It's near the train station. You'll know where it is when you hear the gunshots.

But be careful, they don't just have guns, they also have explosives! "

Carl had seen Kieran's skills before, so he didn't reject Kieran's offer. Still, he warned Kieran out of kindness. Then he hurried off to find John.

[Sub Mission Unlocked: Crazy Shuberg]

[Sub Mission: Shuberg has been forced into a corner because of a misjudgment against you. However, he will not give up without a fight. You've chosen to side with the police, so you must hurry to the train station!]

An unexpected Sub Mission.

Still, it was good news for Kieran.

He had another reason to make a move.

He carried the box with the [Viper-M1] on his back and quickly left the police station, disappearing into the night.

...

The train station was bustling with activity that day.

A body had been found in the morning.

The killer had been arrested in the afternoon, and a group of pickpockets had been discovered by the police.

In the evening, there had been another gunfight. Bang!

Bang! Bang!

Listening to the fierce gunshots, the people living in the surrounding area all tried their best to shrink under the bed, hiding themselves tightly.

Hiding like this did not make them feel at ease though.

Just look at how they were trembling in fear.

Boom!

There was another loud explosion, and the civilians all shuddered.

Even the police officers who were engaged in battle with Shuberg shuddered as they held their guns.

"Damn it! Where did they get their guns and explosives? "

Deputy Lestrade leaned his back against a solid wall, reloading his gun and growling in a low voice.

None of the surrounding police officers could answer Lestrade's question.

This made Lestrade even angrier.

And he chose the best way to vent his anger. The deputy jumped out from behind the wall, and the gun in his hand suddenly burst into flames.

Bang!

"Ah!"

After the gunshot, there was a scream from the opposite roof and the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

"Teach these sons of bitches a lesson!"

Lestrade yelled.

The deputy sheriff, who had hit the target with one shot, undoubtedly boosted the morale of the surrounding police officers. They all raised their guns from behind cover and started shooting.

However, the effect was not very obvious.

More than a dozen guns fired at the same time, but apart from a graze on the arm of one of Shuberg's men, there were no casualties.

"Bastards, aim properly. Are you all blind?"

Leschuder roared again when he saw the result.

His seemingly skinny, but actually sturdy body let out a roar that almost drowned out the second gunshot.

Bang!

"Ah!"

One of Shuberg's men fell from the chimney on the opposite roof.

"Nice shot! Who was it?"

Leschuder, who had just been yelling at Lestrade, smiled brightly. The deputy sheriff turned around and looked at his men. He did not mind having a good shooter on his team.

However, his subordinates were all at a loss.

Bang!

At this moment, another gunshot was heard.

What followed was another scream and the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

"Deputy, over there!"

One of the sharp-eyed officers saw a figure slowly walking out of the darkness.

"Kieran?"

When Leschuder saw Kieran's face clearly, he could not help but be stunned.

"Carl told me that we need help here!"

Kieran greeted the deputy with a smile.

Just as Carl had said, when Kieran had approached the train station, he had found the location of the exchange of gunfire and explosions.

On a street not far from the train station.

Shuberg's men had the upper hand.

They didn't just occupy an independent, sturdy two-storey building as a fortification, the height of the building allowed these underground factions to move around like fish in water.

They could easily see the exposed policemen with the help of the moonlight.

On the contrary, the policemen were hiding behind a building on the other side of the street. Every time they opened fire, they would expose themselves to the enemy's line of sight.

Kieran had already seen four or five injured policemen.

The rest of the policemen had tried to avoid getting hurt, so they had stuck their arms out to shoot. One could easily imagine the results of their shooting.

If it weren't for the fact that Shuberg's men were even worse at shooting, they would have been suppressed to the point where they couldn't even lift their heads.

Of course, that was not the most important thing.

The most important thing was that Shuberg's men had explosives in their possession.

They were not the scattered powdered explosives that people usually remembered.

Instead, they were homemade explosives wrapped in tough kraft paper and mixed with glass shards and iron pellets. They were like a weakened grenade.

Kieran had seen the power of the homemade explosives with his own eyes.

The wooden door of a shop facing the street had been blown up into the air along with its frame.

If Kieran had been within range of the explosion, he would not have been able to escape. He would have been severely injured or even killed on the spot.

On top of that, Shuberg seemed to have a large amount of homemade explosives.

He had no intention of saving them. He would throw one from time to time, causing the attacking policemen to be in an even more difficult situation.

Kieran was even more careful when he saw the scene.

He did not approach the building where Shuberg was hiding. There was a wide street between them, and there were six to seven men standing on the rooftop. Kieran would not be able to sneak past them unless he could turn invisible.

That was why Kieran had appeared in front of Lestrade.

He needed to work with Lestrade to open up a new situation.

Although he had a simple memory of his identity, the Deputy Sheriff in front of him had a cold relationship with him, and it could even be said that they were hostile, the identity of the Deputy Sheriff was undeniable. Lestrade had the integrity of a police officer.

Lestrade said instinctively when he saw Kieran appear out of nowhere.

"We don't need amateurs here —"

Bang! Bang!

Before the Deputy Chief Officer could finish, the [M1905] and [Viper-M1] in Kieran's left and right hands went off at the same time. On the opposite roof, there were two more screams and the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Even though they were separated by a street, Kieran's E + Rank Intuition allowed him to see Shuberg's men on the opposite rooftop.

He also had his Master Level [Firearm Weapon, Light Firearm].

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Kieran had a 100% accuracy rate.

If it were not for the fact that his firearms and grenades did not match the era they were in, the 50% reduction in power, the 1 second reloading speed for his handgun, and the 30 second reloading speed for his sniper rifle, Kieran was confident that he could wipe out all of Shuberg's men in less than 10 seconds. That was why Kieran had chosen to work with Lestrade.

Even so, Lestrade's eyes widened in shock.

Lestrade had decent marksmanship. It was one of the reasons he had been appointed as the deputy and was responsible for Shuberg's arrest.

Lestrade knew very well how difficult it was for Kieran to shoot.

He held a gun in each hand, and one of them was even a cavalry gun. He aimed at his targets almost at the same time. With this kind of marksmanship, not to mention himself, it was impossible for him to do so.

Even the best sharpshooter in the army would not be able to do that.

Although he was unhappy with Kieran, Lestrade had to admit that Kieran's marksmanship was excellent. It was much better than his own.

However, that did not mean that Lestrade would be nice to an amateur like Kieran.

The stubborn Lestrade had always thought that a detective like Kieran was an insult to the police.

"Hmph!"

Lestrade grunted coldly.

Then, he quickly reloaded his gun and got ready for another attack.

Before Lestrade could make his move, however, Kieran grabbed him and rolled on the ground.

Boom!

Lestrade's face changed when he heard the explosion.

Obviously, he knew very well what would have happened if Kieran didn't help him.

Lestrade wanted to thank Kieran for his help.

However, his determination made it difficult for him to say anything.

While Lestrade was still hesitating, Shuberg's men started their counterattack.

Shuberg's men were not intimidated by the sudden casualties.

On the contrary, they began to retreat into the two-story building, using a safer posture and more intense methods to fight back.

Tsk-Tsk!

Self-made explosives with ignited fuses were thrown out from the roof in the dark of the night, like a goddess scattering flowers from the sky.

Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions echoed in the night sky.

As the attacking side, the policemen once again dodged awkwardly.

Shuberg's men, who had retreated back into the building, reappeared on the roof and started firing at the people below. Bang!

Bang! Bang!

A series of gunshots rang out.

One of the officers was shot and fell to the ground.

"Take cover!"

The Deputy Sheriff shouted. Looking at his subordinate who had fallen to the ground, he subconsciously wanted to rush out to save his subordinate.

However, someone was faster than him.
