The Legendary Man Chapter 362

You Speak Too Much

“I’ll make the call. I’ll make the call right now!”

As he stared down the barrel of the gun, Lionel had no choice but to give in. Without further complaints, he grabbed his phone and placed a call to his superior. He began, “Chief, this is team two captain, Lionel Moretz. I’ve met with danger over at Jipsdale International Hotel. Please send reinforcements over as soon as possible!”

“You’re in danger? Exactly what trouble have you gotten into?” asked a coarse and gruff voice over the phone.

“I…” began Lionel.

He snuck a glance at Jonathan before he carefully continued, “I bumped into a terrorist! An eyewitness personally saw him kill hundreds of people, and he even pointed a gun right at me as he demanded that you come over to see him in person.”

Upon hearing Lionel’s words, the person at the other end of the call impatiently yelled, “You useless idiot! Stall him for me. I’ll come over with a team straight away!”

With that, he proceeded to end the call and didn’t bother waiting for Lionel to respond.

“I-I’ve made the call!” exclaimed Lionel as he turned and looked up at Jonathan.

“Didn’t you want to arrest me? Why didn’t you ask him to come over with more men?” asked Jonathan indifferently as he eyed Lionel. “Furthermore, do you remember what I said to you earlier?”

“W-What?” asked Lionel anxiously amidst his confusion. The way he was now, he could barely string two words together to form a coherent sentence. He was terrified that Jonathan would blow his brains out anytime on a whim.

“I said that I absolutely hated having guns pointed at me!” stated Jonathan coldly.

“Lower your guns, all of you!” exclaimed Lionel immediately in response to Jonathan’s words as he glared at the throng of police officers gathered around them.

The group reacted immediately and lowered their guns without the slightest bit of hesitation.

In an instant, the scene in the hotel lobby had changed dramatically. Now, countless police officers were standing by idly as they watched Jonathan point his firearm at Lionel helplessly. They could not do anything to intervene.

As he took in the sight of Lionel being helplessly held hostage and held at gunpoint like a fool by Jonathan, Shawn couldn’t help but curse aloud, “You idiot! What a useless fool!”

He had called the police over with the intent of having them band together to arrest Jonathan. However, their captain had actually gone on to kneel before Jonathan in surrender and didn’t even dare to move an inch.

“Shoot him! Damn it! Go on and shoot him down now where he stands! I’ll bear the consequences if something goes wrong!” railed Shawn at the top of his lungs at the throng of police officers.

However, one of them stuttered in response, “W-What about our captain…”

“Even if he fell right here, he would have died in the line of duty. It’d be his honor! As police officers, how could you allow a criminal to take one of you hostage and threaten you like this? Can you even call yourselves the police? Fire at him now!” exclaimed Shawn furiously upon hearing the officer’s words.
