Hoskin's face showed a never before seen heavy expression.
When he opened up Teresa's call log and saw two familiar numbers, Hoskin heaved a long breath.
The young officer was afraid to see an unfamiliar number.
The young man had a longing for this hot-tempered and resolute chief officer. It wasn't the kind of admiration, but the respect of a senior.
Hoskin shared the same righteousness as himself.
Even though the way he presented himself was a little different.
"It's from the station's Bomb Disposal Unit and Action Unit, both are landlines."
Hoskin hesitated for a while before passing the phone to Kieran.
The young officer wanted to give it to Teresa directly but when he saw her angry face, he gave up the thought.
Unlike the young officer who didn't dare to provoke Teresa, Kieran who punched Teresa calmly placed the phone back into Teresa's pocket.
"You are no longer a suspect!
I can share my little secret with you now … But, I still need to solve a little problem! "
As he spoke, Kieran's hand reached under Teresa's jacket.
"You!"
Teresa who was still unable to move widened her eyes like a female leopard choosing its prey.
Hoskin, on the other hand, opened his mouth wide in disbelief at the scene before his eyes. Even when he saw Kieran took the gun from Teresa's waist, he couldn't close his mouth.
Kieran didn't even care about the two of them and jumped down from the second floor.
Just as Kieran jumped down, the main entrance of the nightclub was shattered with a loud bang. A couple of figures then rolled into the nightclub lobby with extremely agile tactical movements.
Bang Bang Bang!
Gunshots were fired.
The attackers who had completed their tactical movements fell down on the floor with an astonished face. Even until their deaths, they couldn't believe that someone could react so fast and have such good marksmanship.
In the attackers' expectations, their quick attacks would surely catch the people in the nightclub off guard. Even if there was a counterattack, it would be effectively dodged by the well-practiced tactical movements.
Even if they were shot, the bulletproof vests that they were wearing would provide them with effective protection and reduce their weak spots to a very small area.
The plan was about to become a reality.
If he hadn't met Kieran.
Even though his attributes and skills were weakened, Kieran still had S + Intuition and Musou level [Firearm Weapon, Light Arms].
This was a level that ordinary people could not imagine.
It was too easy to deal with a group of elites who could only be considered ordinary people.
Especially when there weren't many of them, it was a piece of cake for Kieran to capture them.
Kieran, who had yet to land on the ground, kicked the wall beside him. His body flew out horizontally, and the remaining attackers appeared in his vision.
When the vanguard team was annihilated, the remaining attackers were clearly stunned.
Life and death were decided in an instant!
Bang, bang, bang!
Another three gunshots rang out.
The remaining three attackers collapsed in a pool of blood.
The entire process took less than five seconds.
When Kieran returned upstairs with a big pile of spoils of war, what welcomed him was Hoskin's admiring gaze and Teresa's suspicious gaze that grew even more.
"2567, y-you're too strong!"
Hoskin stuttered as he spoke.
Advocating justice and envying the strong, Hoskin displayed the traits that matched his age.
Teresa displayed her own traits as well.
"What are you going to do with these weapons?"
Teresa pointed at the assault rifle, magazines, grenades and bulletproof vest in Kieran's hand.
"I think we will need some weapons in the upcoming period of time. Although I think I have trained my body and marksmanship before, I don't think I have trained my technique of being hit by bullets!"
Kieran said as he put on the bulletproof vest and passed the other one to Hoskin.
Hoskin instinctively put on the bulletproof vest and took the assault rifle from Kieran.
Then, Kieran walked to the corner of the room.
There was a large cabinet connected to the ceiling. It was made of solid wood and looked very heavy.
It would take at least three to four men to move it.
Of course, for Kieran, one hand was enough.
Though, in order to look normal, he raised both of his arms and acted like it was strenuous for him.
Tss, Tss Tss!
Amidst the screeching noise on the floor, the wooden cabinet was opened up a little.
Fuuu!
The damp and slightly gloomy air blew into the room through the gap. Teresa was shocked when she saw the secret door behind the cabinet.
"This is what you found before?"
Teresa asked.
Kieran didn't answer but activated [Tracking] again.
A pair of glowing white footprints extended forward, it was exactly the same as the unusual footprints he found in the room.
"Em."
Kieran checked the hidden door, which was not closed yet, and then nodded.
His heart started to analyze the situation quickly.
"The person who interrogated Barney the Jackal was very calm and orderly when he entered Dancer's nightclub. He didn't even forget to leave a surprise for the latecomers, but after he interrogated Barney, he became hot-tempered. Not only did he not clean up the traces he left in the office, he didn't even close the secret door he pushed open. Such a drastic change in his emotions means …"
"That bastard didn't get what he wanted from Barney the Jackal!"
Based on the changes in the footprints, Kieran's mind was picturing the interrogator's changes in actions.
It made Kieran heave a breath of relief.
It was much easier to face an angry opponent, be it in battle or interrogation.
It was highly likely that the other party would say something that he shouldn't have in his anger.
If [Fusion Heart] wasn't sealed, Kieran could easily use his cardinal sins, Wrath, to achieve that but now?
He could only rely on himself.
After making up his mind, Kieran didn't stop anymore and walked into the secret door.
Hoskin and Teresa followed behind them.
Though, Kieran stopped Teresa.
"I think it's better if we split up. Aren't you curious who leaked our whereabouts? I don't want to have a bunch of armed thugs following behind me when I'm investigating.
Oh right, there's also that mayoral candidate. I hope you can investigate why he appeared at Winchester House yesterday, your identity as the chief officer is perfect for the job! "
Kieran said with a smile under Teresa's angry gaze.
His reason was enough to convince Teresa.
Kieran added when he saw Teresa's face loosening up.
"If it's possible, try your best to cover our tracks, at least before we find out who the mole in the station is!"
"Yes, sir!
Hoskin, keep a close eye on him! "
Teresa finally nodded in agreement but she still reminded Kieran.
"Yes, chief officer!"
After Hoskin replied loudly, Kieran closed the wooden cabinet from the inside.
It wasn't hard at all.
Behind the wooden cabinet, there were two handles.
It made it easy for one to exert force.
After everything was in place, Hoskin switched on the torchlight on his bulletproof vest. A straight light shone further away.
"Hoskin, what else do you know about Barney the Jackal?"
"Some unreliable rumors are fine too!"
