Chapter 34 Taking Down a Felon, Rescuing Rose Sniper.

Inspector Hussain? William did not know such a person, so he told his mom, "Mom, pass him the phone." Soon, a jolly voice cfrom the speaker. “Is this William Barrett? I'm Bradley Hussain, Chief Inspector of the county's criminal investigation team. I chere to ask you a few questions. Can you make it back soon?" William replied, "Sure. I'll be hsoon." When he arrived, he saw a police vehicle parked outside his home. Also, Melisenna was speaking to a man and a woman. The man had a round body and a smiley face, while the beautiful woman was as captivating as Tia. She wore a pair of purple jeans with white boots, and her hair was tied into a ponytail, revealing her fair, oval face. Her legs were long, making her look like a high-fashion model. However, she had such a large chest that it seemed like they were about to burst out of her clothes.

When they noticed William's return, the chubby man beckoned him over. "Greetings. I'm Bradley Hussain. William nodded. "Hello. Is there anything I can help you with?" With a chuckle, Bradley explained, “The chain of car accidents a few days ago had caused a few deaths and several injured. We've looked into the surveillance footage and saw that you saved most of the injured that day. Also, it was you who stopped the tank driver while he was committing his second crime. I chere to express my gratitude and ask you squestions." William answered, "It's nothing. I just happened to cacross the accident and lent a helping hand. By the way, did the driver admit his crimes? Why did he hurt those innocent people?" The-long-legged beauty replied, "The tank driver had committed suicide at the hospital." Frowning, William asked, "What?" Bradley nodded. "Yes. The person guarding him looked away for one second, and he used the needle of his IV to slash his carotid artery. Blood squirted everywhere, and he died a few minutes later.” Feeling doubtful, William reasoned, "He got hurt inside the hospital, so the doctors could've saved him even though he did that." Bradly agreed. "That was our initial thought as well, but there were too many injured civilians that day, and the doctors were all busy running around. When a surgeon finally made it over, it was already too late." After listening to Bradley's explanation, William sighed. How will they continue the investigation now that their suspect is dead? Bradley continued, "There are a few questions I'd like to ask. You managed to push away one of the cars in front before the accident. I wanted to know how you discovered something was wrong with the driver." "I looked into the rearview mirror and noticed the truck was going very quickly when it was less than a few hundred feet away from the car before him, showing no signs of slowing down. Knowing that the brakes in large vehicles tend to malfunction often, I didn't think about it too much and began hitting the horn. However, the car in front didn't seem to understand what I was trying to tell them, so I could only start my and such the front par into a alinad 1/5 65% 34 Taking Down a Felon, Rescuing Rose Sniper Nodding, Bradley praised him. "It seems like you have good eyesight and strong judgment." William laughed. "I do have good eyesight." Raising an eyebrow, the woman chimed in. “Oh? I have good eyesight too, about 20/10. Don't tellyours is better than mine." Bradley smiled as he agreed with the woman. “That's right. Zoie has great eyesight. She can see the direction of the letter Eabout an inchon an eye chart placed a hundred fifty feet away. That's why she has great aim when firing a gun and why we call her the Rose Sniper." That introduction greatly surprised William. An ordinary person only had 20/20 vision, but hers was 20/10, which was rare.

When the woman noticed his expression, she reached her hand out. Tm Zoie late, a member of the criminal investigation team. You seem to think I'm blufling" He retorted silently, 'hen did I think that? Then, he quickly answered, "No. I was only admiring your talent." "Are you sure?" She raised an eyebrow. "But my talents are nothing when compared to yours. You must be a martial arts expert, right?" With a faint smile, he replied, "I'm no expert, but I've been learning for a few years." Tve done sdigging into your past. Two years ago, you injured someone in a fight and was sentenced to seven years in jail but was released after only two years, she recounted.

William remained calm. "That's right. Your investigation is quite thorough, Officer Pate.” "We don't have any other purpose in coming here besides expressing our gratitude. By the way, the people information because they want to you saved that day are grateful to you. They're asking around for you." thank you personally." William quickly rejected that notion. “There's no need for that. It's just a trivial matter.” When Bradley heard that, he chortled. "Mr. Barrett, we'll remember your contribution. Please feel free to givea call if you need anything. I'll help you with whatever I can." He gave William his ncard.

With that, the two excused themselves. Once William saw them out, he began calling the neighbor living across from him, wanting to rent their home. Later, he called Jose and asked them to move in.

Meanwhile, Zoie and Bradley cto an alley nearby after leaving William's home. They were currently chasing after a Class A felon that was listed as a wanted criminal online. That extremely dangerous felon had committed several murders and was great at hiding his tracks.

The information they gathered showed a high chance that the felon was hiding nearby, so they cover and checked it out. They arrived at a house, and Bradley knocked but did not get any response.

Zoie asked, "Mr. Hussain, should we head inside?" After considering it, he replied, "No." They chere to check out the place, so there wa need to stay when no one was around. The two 2/5 Chapter 34 Taking Down a Felon, Rescuing Rose Sniper had just walked a few steps when the door suddenly opened, and a voice cfrom behind it. "Who are you looking for?" Turning around, Bradley saw a seventy-year-old woman with a hunched back sticking her wrinkled face out from behind the door. He replied, “Ma'am, we're from the criminal investigation team, and we wanna ask whom you live with." The old woman turned her head to the side and said, “My hearing is bad. What did you say? Quickly shaking his hand, Bradley said, "It's fine. You can close the door," Then, the old woman slowly shut the door while shaking her head. As soon as the door was closed, he pulled Zoie further away before whispering. "That's him!" Shocked, she questioned, “But the felon is a man. That's an old woman." With a sneer, he explained, “She said she can't hear clearly, but how did she hear us knocking when we only knocked so softly? Also, when he turned his face to the side, I noticed his face and neck are in different shades. Most importantly, I learned forensic anthropology. He has the bone structure of a man, so he can't be a woman!" She immediately suggested, “I'll call for reinforcements!" "It'll be too late. He frowned. "We've alerted him, so he'll escape the scene within five minutes." "Mr. Hussain, let's get him now!" Zoie urged.

With a bitter smile, Bradley reminded her, "Have you forgotten that he's a martial arts expert with a powerful Eagle Claw Attack? We might not be able to defeat him by ourselves." After thinking about it, she proposed. "How about we get William to help us? He's an expert." Stunned momentarily, he remembered he had seen William in action before and was sure that William's skills were above the felon's. However, he was an ordinary citizen, so Bradley would have to take responsibility if something happened to William during his involvement.

He thought about it and shook his head. "Forget it. Let's do it ourselves. Make sure you load your gun and shoot him if he resists. The two looked at each other before walking toward the door.

In the meantime, William coincidentally arrived in the salley. He was heading to Diego's house to discuss his plan to buy lots and build a villa. After he taught the father-son duo a lesson, they behaved well and would bow respectfully to him whenever they saw him.

Just as he entered the alley, he noticed Bradley and Zole from afar. They were holding their guns while approaching one of the houses. Therefore, he quickened his pace and was about to greet them when he saw them kick the door open and rush inside. He sprinted over, wanting to see what was happening After Bradley charged into the house, he felt a pain in his wrist, and his gun fell from his hand. The old woman had been hiding behind the door and struck his wrist right after he cin. He let out a pained scream as he charged forward with gritted teeth to avoid the next attack. At the stime, he roared, "Fire!" Bang! Bang! Behind him, Zoie fired two shots, but she was too neyous, so the felon reacted quickly enough to dodge 3/5 the bullets.

Peloh, Rescuing Rose Sniper

The wooden door was sent flying in Zole's direction with a slap. Since she could not dodge it, she could only use her hand to block the incoming object. Later, a heavy force cat her and propelled her to the ground. Her whole body was in extrpain, and her gun was flung away. The next second, that old woman walked over with a sneer and kicked the door away. She was no longer hunched, and her eyes were filled with a beastly glint.

"Little b*tch, you look quite pretty. I think I'm going to have sfun before killing you!" He laughed maniacally while reaching to grab Zoie. As she was lying on the ground, she screamed and used her legs to kick the felon.

However, that man spent decades learning the Eagle Claw Attack and carned himself a pair of strong arms.

He gra ankle in one swoop and laughed while dragging her inside. Having her ankle yanked, she felt extrpain and screamed; it was so intense that she almost fainted. Behind them, Bradley roared as he lunged at them but was easily sent flying by the felon with one strike. After plunging to the ground, Bradley was losing his hold and could not get up no matter how hard he tried.

The man threw Zoie to the ground before picking up the gun on the floor. Then, he twisted his hands, turning the gun into pieces before they scattered on the floor.

At that moment, the felon narrowed his eyes and looked at the door, where a young man stood. He had both hands in his pockets and stared at the felon with cold eyes.

"Con." The felon beckoned, ready to kill that young man with a slap of his hand lest he called the cops.

Surprisingly, the young man obeyed and walked toward the felon. In the meantime, Zoie's eyes filled with hope when she saw the young man. It's William! When he neared the felon, he suddenly grabbed at William's neck. At the stime, William also attacked. It was now a battle between the Shaylin Dragon Claw and the Eagle Claw Attack.

Just as the two palms touched, the man dressed as an old woman screamed as his wrist broke with a crack. William grabbed the man's wrist before kneeing him in the abdomen. Immediately after that, the felon hummed and barfed out his breakfast. He was in so much pain that he curled into a fetal position and barely moved. Still worried, William went over and booted him a few times until the felon stopped moving. At that, Zoie finally felt relieved. With eyes filled with tears, she stammered, "Thank you. Please check on Mr. Hussain." Hearing that, William glanced over at Bradley before replying to her, "He's fine.” Then, he squatted beside her and lifted her ankle.

Five galactic fingerprints, obviously-caused by the Eagle Claw Attack, were seen on the snowy white ankle. Her tendons were strained, and her bone was dislocated. If not treated in time, her leg would be crippled soon.

"How are you feeling?" he asked.

Wiping her tears away, she answered, "I can't move. It feels like millions of needles are piercing my bones.

whenever I do." He nodded. "His Eagle Claw Attack isn't that powerful. Otherwise, your tendons and bones would have been torn with just a touch. I'll treat your injury, but it will hurt a little, so bear with me." Send Gifts 13
