After bringing up Teresa's call log and finding two familiar numbers, Hoskin was relieved .
The young officer was afraid of finding an unfamiliar number .
The chief officer might be hot-tempered and acted in a rigorous and resolute manner but the young officer admired her, not the kind of awkward feeling but the admiration of a senior from a junior because Teresa too had a heart of justice despite the methods of displaying it being different .
"It's the station's bomb disposal unit and operation unit's number, both were landlines!"
Hoskin said before handed the phone back to Kieran after a slight hesitation .
He originally wanted to give the phone back to Teresa but when he saw the utmost rage from her face, he gave up instantly .
Different from the young officer who dared not get on the bad side of his chief officer, even after giving a punch to her stomach, Kieran slide back the phone into her pocket naturally .
"Your suspicion is removed . Now I can share that little secret with you . But, let us take care of some trouble first . "
Kieran slid his hand into Teresa's coat while he spoke .
"YOU!"
Still hadn't regained her mobility, Teresa widened her eyes at Kieran's actions as though she was a cougar prying on its prey .
Hoskin's jaw dropped and looked unbelievable at the scene, even though Kieran only took out the gun from Teresa's waist, Hoskin couldn't cover his astonishment .
Kieran didn't even care about the two and jumped down from the second floor after getting what he wanted .
The moment Kieran leaped down, the main entrance of Dancing Diva was smashed to pieces with a loud bang .
A couple of figures nimbly rolled into the main hall with tactical movements .
Bang Bang Bang!
Shots were fired .
After the assault squad attackers had gotten into place through their tactical movement, they limped down on the floor with a face of shock . They couldn't believe there was someone with such fast reactions and skilled shooting .
In the attacker's expectations, their swift assault would surely catch everyone inside the nightclub by surprise, even if there was any counterattack, they would effectively dodge the attacks with their hard-trained tactical movements .
Even if they were shot, their bulletproof vest would provide enough protection and minimize the damage to their weak spots to the limit .
All the plans would come to play if they didn't come across Kieran .
Despite his attributes and skills being weakened, Kieran still had S+ Intuition and Musou [Firearm Weapon, Light Firearm] .
It was beyond the comprehension of a regular person . Using his skills to deal with commoners elites would be too easy, even more so when their numbers were limited, Kieran would get them easily .
Before really touching the floor, Kieran tapped his feet on the wall and threw himself further out . As he flew outside, he saw the rest of the attackers coming in .
When the first team was wiped out, the remaining attackers were stunned .
Their death was determined within a blink of an eye .
Bang Bang Bang!
Another three shots were fired and three of the remaining attackers fell into their own blood .
The whole process didn't even last 5 seconds .
When Kieran gathered a big pile of spoils of war and went back upstairs, he was greeted by Hoskin's admiration and Teresa's ever growing doubt .
"2567, you . . . you are awesome!" Hoskin even stuttered because of his admiration .
He upheld justice and admired the strong, which totally fit the traits of a man his age, so did the chief officer .
"What are you going to do with these weapons?"
Teresa pointed at the assault rifle, magazines, grenades and bulletproof vest that Kieran took .
"I think we might need more firepower to live through the rest of the time, though I suppose I'd trained my body and shooting skills quite well before but I don't think I am well-trained in being hit by a bullet . "
Kieran said as he put on a bulletproof vest and handed another to Hoskin .
Hoskin put it on instinctively and even took an assault rifle from Kieran .
Kieran then walked towards one of the corners of the office .
There was a big heavy wooden cupboard that was connecting the ceiling . It would need at least three to four men to move it but Kieran could move it alone .
Still, in order to act normal, he used both his hands and pretended to use all his effort .
Tssssk!
The wooden cupboard was pushed aside, revealing a hidden entrance behind amidst the dragging screech .
Fuuu!
The air that came through the seam was very humid and cold .
Teresa was shocked when she saw the hidden entrance behind the cupboard .
"This is what you found just now?"
Kieran didn't reply but he activated [Tracking] again to scan the place .
He saw a set of white footprints that went inside the entrance and it was the same footprints that he found in the room .
"Yup!"
Kieran nodded after double checking the unclosed hidden entrance .
The gears in his mind spun rapidly to analyze the current situation .
"The one who interrogated Barney the "Jackal" was calm when he entered Dancing Diva with a neat manner . The person didn't forget to leave a surprise for those who came later . Yet after interrogating Barney, the person got upset and grumpy, not only did they not clean the traces in the office, they didn't even close the hidden door . If the person was so upset to forfeit their vigilance, that means…"
"The person didn't get what they wanted from Barney!"
Following the changes of the traces, Kieran painted a picture of the altered actions of the person .
Kieran was relieved . It was easier to face an opponent who was infuriated, regardless of during combat or questioning . His opponent might spill information that they weren't supposed to under the influence .
If [Fusion Heart] wasn't sealed off, he would use Wrath to easily achieve it but now all he could rely on was himself .
Since his decision was made, Kieran went through the hidden entrance without stopping .
Teresa and Hoskin followed too but Kieran stopped Teresa .
"I think we better split up, aren't you curious who the hell exposed our whereabouts? I don't want to find myself being chased by a full squad of armed thugs when I am finding clues . "
"Oh right, that mayoral candidate, I hope you can find out why he was at the Winchester House during the explosion . I suppose your C . O . identity would be more suitable to ask questions . "
Kieran said with a smile when Teresa was glaring at him .
The explanation was enough to persuade Teresa but Kieran added on when he noticed the slight relief on Teresa's face .
"If it's not too much of a trouble, try to cover our tracks as well, at least before the mole in the station is exposed . "
"Fine!"
"Hoskin, you better watch him closely!"
Teresa nodded to an agreement but she didn't forget to order her young subordinate .
"Yes, Madam!"
After Hoskin replied loudly, Kieran closed the entrance from inside by pulling back the wooden cupboard . It wasn't all that hard since there were two handles behind the cupboard which allowed one to exert strength easily .
When everything was settled, Hoskin switched on the torchlight on his bulletproof vest and shed a straight light ahead .
"Hoskin, what else do you know about Barney the "Jackal"? Anything will do, whether they're rumors or what not . " Kieran asked as both of them advanced forth .
