Chapter 159 The Mall Crisis
"Get out! Get the hell out of here! Where are the cops? Get my car ready. I am leaving! Otherwise... I'll blow this place up and take all of you with me. Anyway, I am nobody here. Let's enjoy the party in hell!"
The robber said as he unzipped his jacket, and there was a bomb tied to his body. He seemed to have lost his mind, laughing dementedly.
People inside the mall turned pale with fear, screaming even louder.
"Captain Daniel, we've got his information. He's Gary Evans, a gambler who owes a lot of debts online. He only had an old mother who was scared to death by those debt collectors."
Under this urgent situation, that was all the information they could find out.
The police were evacuating the crowd, "He's got a bomb on him. Everyone stays away."
"Maybe I can help."
A young man in a white trench coat looked at the police officer and said calmly.
"How do you want to help?"
Perhaps because of his powerful composure, the policeman was about to ask him not to mess up but finally withheld the words.
"I'm a doctor."
Police felt speechless.
Not to mention the doctors, even the police could not do anything about this.
Shawn's voice was indifferent, but he carried a confidence that somehow convinced others.
"Besides, I am a hypnotist. Give me a coin."
The policeman didn't dare to make a decision and went to bring back Captain Daniel here.
"You called yourself a hypnotist. Can you handle this? It's a life-and-death matter."
Shawn hummed, "Give me a coin."
Daniel was about to say something else when a young policeman stopped him.
"Captain, he's Shawn!"
Captain Daniel got confused.
"You know him?"
"Shawn Carter! The one who saves lives from death, and it's been recorded before that he is indeed a capable hypnotist. The Special Affairs Bureau of A City even wanted to poach him, but Dr. Carter turned them down. He's awesome. Let him try. It might work."
It was not the perfect time to get a deep understanding of him. Time was limited, so the police eventually found him a coin and let him in.
Shawn approached the front unhurriedly. His cold gaze fell on Ivan and took back then.
The coin at his fingertips was suddenly flicked out into the air and slowly fell to be caught by him, and so it repeated. Tossed in the air, it reflected a silvery light in the sunlight. It didn't take long for Gary to notice it.
At this time, Shawn spoke up.
"Gary Evans."
His voice was cold and emotionless. It was not loud but audible to others. Even in such a chaotic environment, Gary could clearly hear the youth speaking.
And Ivan, whose mind went blank, also noticed him at the moment. He looked at the youth who came over and was about to say something, but no words came out.
Nancy also stared at Shawn with tears in her eyes. Although abducted, she was brave enough not to cry or make a sound.
"Have you met someone online recently?"
After hearing what Shawn said, Gary became more emotional, his eyes even redder than before.
"Jesus! What the hell is he doing!"
In this case, Shawn clearly provoked Gary.
Daniel said seriously, "Wait and see."
"How do you know that!"
Shawn rhythmically tossed up the coin and caught it.
"Because I knew him."
Gary got even more emotional, "Where is he! He told me that he would help me, and he has always done so before. But this time, he didn't give me a hand! Why? Why did he disappear this time?"
Shawn's voice was cool and calm, "You've been cheated. You have already fallen into his trap for the first time he contacted you. At first, you gambled with hundreds, then he helped you pay back the money for a few debts. After that, he lent you a lot of money and relieved you that you would win next time."
Gary nodded with reddened eyes, "Yes, yes ...... that's it, he always helps me, but why! Why didn't he help me this time! Where is he? Do you have any idea? He wouldn't lie to me. He didn't lie to me so many times before!"
Ivan said unhurriedly, "Really?"
"So why you've become more and more ambitious? Was it before you took out the online loan that he told you he was temporarily out of liquidity? And then he pretended to mention the online loans unintentionally and promised you would win it all back."
When a gambler was immersed in gambling, he was totally out of mind. The only things he focused on were money and winning: the more he lost, the more he wanted to gamble to win back what he had lost before.
When Gary felt the urge to gamble again, he would recall the usury the man "happened" to bring up. And with his encouragement of "you'll win it back", Gary gradually became more confident of winning next time.
Then he finally crossed the boundaries that should never be touched online, online loans.
As his greed grew with the intentional help of the "kind" man, the amount of this online loan was huge.
Finally, Gary took the money and went gambling. Of course, he ended up with an empty wallet.
"You lost the money and couldn't pay back the sizeable loan. So you frantically tried to keep contacting him for help, but this time, you couldn't get in touch with him no matter how you tried. Meanwhile, the debt collectors came to get you to pay up.
Your old and weak mother died of fright after being intimidated by the debt collectors, but this wasn't the end of the story; they continued to collect the debt and beat you up, threatening to cut off your hands or ears if you still didn't pay it back."
Gary's pupils shrank, and his body began to tremble slightly.
"How...how do you know that."
He was so absorbed by the youth's words and indirectly distracted by the coin in Shawn's hand that he didn't even notice that Shawn was less than three meters away from him.
"Because ......"
The coins falling on the ground made a tinkling sound. Gary subconsciously looked down. The next second cold silver light flashed, he only felt a sharp pain on the wrist holding the knife, and bright red blood spurted out.
"Ahhhhhhh!!!" NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
The moment he screamed out, Shawn standing opposite suddenly appeared in front of him and bent the knee to Gary's chin, causing Gary a sharp pain. Then Gary flew out of the room as he released the hostage.
Free from being kidnapped, Nancy was going to fall to the ground. She closed her eyes but eventually fell into an embrace with the smell of disinfectant.
Feeling no pain, Nancy slowly opened her eyes and met a pair of cold, detached eyes.
The little girl gawked at him, her heart beating violently.
"Woo... it scared the hell out of me!"
When Nancy was out of the wood, Ivan darted over.
The corners of Shawn's mouth rose slightly as he held Nancy with laughing eyes. As he was going to open his arms to hug his brother for comfort, he held for nothing. Ivan took Nancy out of his arms and whimpered, leaving Shawn, his elder brother, a cold shoulder.
Shawn was lost for words.
He turned down the corners of his mouth.
At the same time, Gary was already pinned down by the police, who quickly surrounded him.
Not far from, a small silver scalpel lay on the cold ground. On the sharp blade, there was blood red as thin as a line.
Captain Daniel went over and squatted down, looking at the scalpel and the young man. He was shocked. How fast would he have to be to do that?
