Chapter 338
The lead officer loosened his grip on his gun, letting it dangle from his thumb as his arm swayed slightly. “Stay calm! We promise we won’t shoot.The said in a steady voice.
“Them too! Tell them to drop their weapons! Do it!” the gunman screamed, his grip tightening further.
Sebastian’s neck was being choked so hard that he could barely breathe. His temple throbbed from the pressure of the gun barrel. He regretted not listening to his grandfather and going home. If he hadn’t come to the private club, he wouldn’t have run into the police raid and ended up as a hostage)
At the end of the corridor, Sebastian’s friends stood anxiously, their faces twisted with worry.
“Oh God, what do we do? If Sebastian gets hurt, how are we supposed to explain it to his family?” one friend cried out, panic in his voice.
“Didn’t you say this private club was safe? How come something like this happened the first time we came here?” Another friend snapped, his voice trembling.
They were the ones who picked the place, and Sebastian was only here because they invited him. If anything happened to him now, they’d all be held responsible.
The private club had a specific target clientele. The room where the suspect was caught had been reserved long–term and wasn’t open to the public.
The police had been watching it for a while and cleared the entire third floor before the operation began.
White Fox had reserved the private room in advance. When he arrived, the owner of the club had no idea what was about to happen.
Three people had been captured, and one had gotten away. That fugitive was the one who came for the deal and was carrying a gun. He ran out from another stairwell and ran right into Sebastian, who was heading to the fourth floor. Without hesitation, he grabbed Sebastian and took him hostage.
The lead officer made a quick hand gesture, and the rest of the team immediately lowered their weapons.
The officer tried to calm the man and said in a steady voice, “Don’t be rash. Let’s talk this through. We can work this out. Just put the gun down and don’t hurt the hostage!”
The man watched them warily, his eyes shifting back and forth as he backed up slowly, keeping the gun pressed against Sebastian and moving sideways.
Sebastian was forced to follow. He had taken taekwondo before, but he figured it wasn’t the time to act recklessly. The marad a gun, and no matter how fast he was, he couldn’t be faster than a bullet.
He didn’t know what to do.
At the stairwell, several officers were hidden in the shadows, nervously turned to Fryderyk, one of them whispering urgently, “Captain Fletcher, what do we do now?”
Fryderyk’s expression was grave. He responded in a low voice, “Stay hidden. If a chance comes up, take him out.”
Fryderyk holstered his gun and darted forward cautiously. His eyes locked on the area surrounding the suspect.
Just then, a door to one of the rooms began to slowly open.
Fryderyk’s heart skipped a beat. He immediately stepped into view and deliberately raised his voice at the gunman, “What do you want?”
The man flinched and turned sharply toward Fryderyk, on high alert. “Get me a car! Have everyone back off now!” he shouted, his finger twitching on the trigger.
The door only opened a crack.
The lead officer exchanged a look with Fryderyk and barked out orders, “Everyone, back off! Get him a car now!”

The officers complied, and the corridor gradually fell into an uneasy silence.
Fryderyk called out, “We’ve done what you asked. The car will be ready soon.”
The man still stared at them suspiciously with his finger on the trigger. “If any of you shoot, I’ll kill him immediately.”
“You have our word. We won’t open fire,” assured Fryderyk.
Even so, the man didn’t loosen his grip around Benjamin’s neck.
He knew how ruthless Huthailian police could be, so he didn’t dare let his guard down, not
even for a second.
“Why isn’t the damn car ready yet?” the gunman snarled.
He grew agitated again, pressing the gun barrel hard against Sebastian’s temple, his eyes wild with fury. “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to! You’re just waiting for a chance to take me out! If I go down, he is coming with me!”
