Volume 10 – Chapter 24: The Intricate Contrast (Part 2)
The facial hair on his face looked boorish, but the soft and fine medium-length curly hair made him look delicate… The man was thirty-five years old.
The exits of the concert hall were under control. Fake police officers wearing UPP uniforms wielding deadly weapons were facing the panicked crowd. The orchestra members and performers walked off the stage while holding their heads down one after another—under the threat of several thugs armed with guns.
The situation was unexpectedly serious.
“My name is Roger.” The man smiled slightly and then walked a few steps closer.
But Roger didn’t let the senate president have more room to consider, “Every 10 minutes the first condition isn’t fulfilled, I will kill 1 person down there. Every 10 minutes the second condition isn’t fulfilled, I will also kill 1 person down there.”
“What!?” The old senator president was caught off guard. This was the reason why he hated dealing with such lunatics the most.
With that, Roger turned his head to look at the senate president with a smirk. He didn’t even look down and just pulled out his pistol. With that, he fired a random shot.
The gunshot was like thunder in the concert hall. Everyone below screamed in panic.
“I can agree to your request and release the person you want.” The senator president gritted his teeth, “This is my sincerity! But the first request isn’t something I can decide alone! You have successfully threatened me. No amount of cruelty is needed anymore. Please let us find a peaceful path.”
Roger shrugged, “I want to see these people appear in front of me within an hour.”
Roger said one name after another… In the eyes of the senate president, they were all heinous criminals. They were the gang leaders who the UPP units arrested violently a few years ago!
The senate president hurriedly took out his phone. The withdrawal of the UPP troops wasn’t a joke. It was equivalent to returning the city control to those lawless guys again. In a sense, it was a message that the government bowed its head to these thugs!
However, the hostages here…
“By the way, there have been a lot of homicides during this period. It’s your work, right?” The senate president frowned and asked.
He didn’t intend to get an answer. He just wanted to exchange more words with this guy in the hope of getting more information… information as chips for negotiation!
“Does the incompetent government intend to put the charges on our heads if it fails to catch the murderer?” Roger sneered, “It doesn’t matter. We don’t care about being charged with additional crimes. Also, Mr. Senator, you have 54 minutes left.”
“Got it!” The old senate president glanced bitterly at Roger. If it isn’t from Roger’s side, who is behind these murder cases?
Boom—!
Before the phone got through, the senate president was startled. He saw that Roger slowly breathed into the pistol’s barrel with a playful expression on his face.
Naturally, another gunshot just now came from Roger—This guy shot at the crowd again!
This person takes pleasure in killing.
Seeing this, the senate president dared not to hesitate anymore. As soon as the call was connected, he shouted, “I’m Teverman! Let the president answer the call! Immediately!!!”
…
All the kindness and beauty were like a glaze. They were extremely precious. However, when there was light, there would be darkness – the reflection of utmost violence. Of course, this was difficult to find.
The intricate contrast seemed wondrous.
