If Kieran thought Barney the Jackal wasn't as simple as he looked before, when he saw the wooden cabinet that blocked the secret passage, Kieran was sure that Barney wasn't what he appeared to be.
A gangster leader, the kind that took drugs, could easily move a solid wooden cabinet that required three or four adults to move?
What a joke!
As for the others helping Barney the Jackal?
No one would set up a secret passage that was controlled by others.
It was common sense!
That was why Barney the Jackal's strength shouldn't be underestimated.
However, such a person was able to conceal himself and was easily killed. The traces on the scene made Kieran certain that Barney the Jackal was captured before he could even fight back. After that, Barney the Jackal started to interrogate him for a long time.
Kieran did not feel any sympathy for Barney the Jackal's plight.
Quite the contrary, he curled his lips into a smile.
Kieran didn't just find some meaningful clues that he hadn't found for a long time, he would surely get his hands on some equipment or items!
The level might not be that high but it was extremely important to Kieran at the moment.
Without losing something, one wouldn't cherish it.
When Kieran was fully armed, he never thought he would have such high expectations for a piece of Magical equipment.
During normal times, Kieran would pack up a piece of equipment of this level.
"Let's hope it's a handy weapon!"
Kieran thought to himself.
After all, evil spirits were already part of the list of enemies he had to face.
It was fine during the day.
But once night fell …
"Without a specific weapon, it's really troublesome to face evil spirits!"
Kieran slightly frowned.
Hoskin beside him didn't notice Kieran's frown.
Hoskin was deep in thought as he moved forward after hearing Kieran's question.
Being able to join the crime squad at such a young age, although he still had the impulsiveness of a young man, he must be outstanding in other aspects.
Hoskin already had his guesses when he saw the handle behind the wooden cabinet.
But no matter how he thought about it, Hoskin could not think of any rumors about Barney the Jackal.
"No. Other than the fact that he was suspected of being involved in a murder case when he was young, Barney the Jackal has never had anything worth mentioning. He's far from bragging like the others …"
Hoskin shook his head.
However, before he could finish his words, he stopped.
At this moment, Hoskin finally noticed the difference in Barney the Jackal.
"Damn it, why didn't I notice it earlier!"
Hoskin scolded himself.
"Discovering it too early isn't a good thing."
Kieran commented.
Barney the Jackal must be hiding some unspeakable secret. Once someone approached the secret, he would surely strike without mercy.
Even if the other party was a police officer, it was no exception.
Obviously, Hoskin understood the meaning behind Kieran's words.
The young man's dissatisfaction made him want to refute, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
The sharpness and power that Kieran displayed had subdued Hoskin without his knowledge, causing the young man to admire Kieran from the bottom of his heart.
Hoskin wouldn't reject Kieran's words even if he didn't agree with it in his heart.
It was what Kieran wanted!
He needed an assistant that could provide effective help, not a monitor that reported back to him in real time.
The two of them advanced for another twenty meters or so, and a vertical hole appeared in front of them.
The hole was big enough for a man to go through and there was an iron ladder embedded at the edge of the hole. Hoskin walked up and shone his torchlight down. The darkness devoured most of the light.
The remaining light also became extremely dim.
However, a ferocious face was extremely eye-catching under the dim light.
Under the light, the ferocious face opened its mouth, revealing its deathly white teeth. It let out a burst of weeping laughter.
"Argh!"
Hoskin couldn't hold back his fear when he saw the face that appeared in the darkness.
Hoskin's hand that was holding the torchlight trembled, he even cried out in shock and wanted to back off instinctively.
However, the owner of the ferocious face was faster. Before Hoskin could truly back off, the ferocious face had already jumped up to the top of the hole.
Before Hoskin could fire his gun, the ferocious face had grabbed the gun barrel.
Gak Tss Tss!
After a teeth-numbing noise, the gun barrel in Hoskin's hand was bent.
"Argh!"
Hoskin cried out in shock again. One was because of the bent gun barrel and the other was because of the force that came from the back of his neck. The force sent Hoskin flying into the darkness like he was riding on a cloud.
Dak Dak Dak!
The muzzle of the submachine gun spewed out sparks.
The sparks faintly revealed Kieran's figure in the darkness.
The attacker didn't notice Kieran's presence in the darkness and was forced back by the bullets.
Blood gushed out from the body that was hit but the attacker didn't fall to the ground.
The bullets from the submachine gun only tore the attacker's coat and perforated his skin, embedding itself into his flesh but it didn't really cause any damage to the attacker.
When all the bullets in the magazine were emptied, the enraged attacker let out a series of angry roars and threw his left fist at Kieran with a whistling sound.
When Kieran easily blocked the punch, the infuriated attacker smiled sinisterly. In his right hand was a sharp sawtooth dagger that was aimed at Kieran's abdomen.
"You are dead!"
The attacker declared his sentence with a vicious smile.
However, at the next moment, the vicious smile on the attacker's face froze.
Kieran dished out a kick without changing his expression.
Fuuu!
The kick wasn't just heavy and powerful, it was as fast as lightning in the attacker's eyes. Before the dagger could be thrust out, the kick landed on his chest.
Bang!
The attacker was sent flying as if he was hit by a truck, crashing into the wall beside him.
The wall that was hit by the attacker cracked like a spider web.
The attacker's chest was heavily dented and he kept vomiting blood. A second later, he fell to the ground like an ancient painting that fell off the wall.
A dash of green glow appeared on the attacker's body.
Kieran frowned.
In order to capture the attacker alive, he had controlled his strength but the attacker …
"The gunshot wound was much more serious than it looks?"
With doubts lingering in his mind, Kieran checked the body.
Soon, Kieran noticed something.
There was a wound on the attacker's back.
The wound wasn't wide but it was deep. If the attacker didn't dodge fast enough, his heart would have been pierced.
Even so, the attacker was heavily injured.
"This is a dagger?"
Unconsciously, Kieran's mind came up with a picture of the Winchester House bomber who was also skilled in short knives.
"Could it be the same person?"
Kieran wondered.
Hoskin crawled up from the ground and when he saw the attacker, he cried out in shock again.
"Argh!"
