Terence was rendered speechless by the insult, and his gaze darkened.
Jensen was already annoyed at him, but what was even more infuriating was that Terence had used his power to remove Jensen from his job just because of personal feelings. He knew that Jensen was after Xavier, but he did not make things easy for Jensen.
Jensen then continued, "Since you want to make things difficult for me, you'd better do it. Don't look back or change your mind. Otherwise, I will look down on you."
At this moment, Terence's face had already flushed red from exasperation. He pursed his lips, pointed at Jensen, and bellowed, "Jensen, believe it or not, I will fire you."
"What?" Jensen was genuinely startled.
He stared at Terence and smiled. "Fire me? I'm afraid you don't have the authority. Our team was formed based on an entrance exam, and you need sufficient reason to kick me out. Otherwise, you would go down with me. Do you think I would let a pest like you stay and drag the others down?"
The more Jensen looked at him, the more irritated he was. He felt that a man should be courageous whenever necessary. Or else, he would be trampled upon by the villain.
Terence was so annoyed at Jensen that he lost his mind. He suddenly pulled out a gun from his back and shouted angrily, "Jensen, believe it or not, I will shoot you!"
Jensen paused. He did not expect Terence to be armed at any time.
They could only use firearms according to procedures when they were on duty. Yet, Terence had actually taken the guns on his own despite being not on duty.
Jensen was truly shocked.
It seemed that the person who did not take the rules seriously was Terence himself.
Even at gunpoint, Jensen was fearless. He sneered with disdain as he asked, "What's wrong? Do you not know the rules of gun usage?"
Director Allen sneered, "Why? Are you afraid?"
"Which eye of yours do you see I'm afraid?" Jensen smiled in return. He was not afraid of Terence at all. "If I die here, you won't be able to get off scot-free."
Terence was taken aback by Jensen's self-righteous attitude. He suddenly realized that if he pulled the trigger, he would not be able to escape.
He was in a daze for a moment, but Jensen could notice his hesitation. With a smile, he said, "Director Allen, we have no hatred for each other. You are willing to go this far just to cozy up to someone. Although I have also violated the rules, I did not deserve this. I simply don't respect someone who wouldn't stand his own ground. If you're angered by my words, you can shoot me. If I blink even for once, I won't call myself a man."
Terence was furious. He growled, "Jensen, what's the point of being arrogant? What do you gain from it?"
"A straight boot is not afraid of a crooked shoe," Jensen replied calmly. "It's best if we do things righteously."
"Do you really think that I don't dare to shoot?" Terence was increasingly embarrassed.
"It's up to you." Jensen chuckled and said, "It's just that whether you shoot or not, you will be punished for using a gun. Be careful, or you may be fired."
"B*stard!" Terence was so enraged that he started shaking.
"Terence Allen, put the gun down!"
All of a sudden, a loud roar came from the door.
Terence's body froze. He immediately turned around and saw Vincent Holland, the chief director of the police station, standing at the door with a solemn gaze.
"What do you intend to do?" Vincent looked at him and asked in a deep voice, "Isn't it embarrassing enough for you already?"
