Chapter 31, Section 10: The Hostages Successfully Rescued Themselves
"It's a sniper! Crouch down!"

When He Ye's feigned panicked voice rang out, the four robbers present became extremely fearful and vigilant. Even the sheriffs in the distance were stunned for a moment, wondering if they had misheard and wondering where there were snipers stationed nearby.

Ke Heye's voice was so clear that there was no way he could have misheard it.

Sniper!
At that moment, a point of light reflected from the glass of a room in a high-rise apartment building was dazzlingly bright under the midday sun, and the four robbers all deeply engraved it in their eyes.

Harold couldn't help but recall the ambiguous words of the orphanage teacher, and coupled with the blinding light in front of him, he almost instinctively made a move to dodge!

Bending down and hiding his head behind the hostage Aisha is a sign of cherishing his own life!
But the next second, no gunshots were heard.

Instead, it was the wailing of one of the underlings.

"I go!!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise, as they were forced to perform a 360° flip in the air.

That was Moses, the acrobat with a mohawk hairstyle. Using He Ye's shoulder as the midpoint, he was thrown over the shoulder and slammed to the ground in front of him in a daze! The speed was like that of a roller coaster descending from the highest point!

Harold: "!?"

The scene then rewinds to the previous second—

The same terrified Mohawk villain was shrinking his neck, trying to hide behind He Ye. Hearing the word "sniper" made him sweat profusely. This anxious and panicked feeling made him unable to care about the hostage in his hands. He just wanted to hide his rooster-like head.

So, without any suspense, He Ye, who had been preparing for a long time, seized the opportunity to launch his attack! — This was the best moment; it was impossible to wait until the thugs actually took hostages and got on the bus before making any plans!
The psychological panic caused by the reflection of light off the glass is the best point of rescue!
Police officers were all around, the hostages were off guard because of the non-existent sniper, and the hostages had a second or two to move around—what a perfect moment.

In that instant, He Ye grabbed his wrist and twisted it forcefully, causing the knife to slip from his hand! A 'snap' sound was heard!

—The sound of dislocation between the wrist and arm bones!
In the blink of an eye, the villain Moses felt a surge of pain, but he could only stare wide-eyed, unable to utter a sound!

Because the next second he felt his feet leave the ground.

This is an even more absurd and shocking feeling.

Somehow he was flipped over, which seemed to be an over-the-shoulder throw in combat techniques—grabbing the opponent's wrist, bending down and throwing them from behind to the front, the speed of the force was fast, accurate and ruthless!
God knows why the teachers at this orphanage know the over-the-shoulder throw from martial arts! And even the most violent and swift Naruto style!
"Thump! (Falls to the ground)"

"Pfft! — Cough cough —"

The villainous Moses stared in disbelief, his eyes wide. He had been hit so hard that he had internal injuries, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and he coughed uncontrollably.

Before me lay a dizzying blue sky and a black-haired youth letting out a long, exhausted breath! — Damn it!

The whole thing took less than two seconds!
From Harold's perspective, he suddenly heard the exclamation of "sniper," and in the instant he hid, his underling Moses was thrown to the ground like a flying man.

Stunned, surprised, confused—and then annoyed!
Harold was furious!

In a split second, he realized he had been tricked. The teachers at the orphanage had been up to no good from the start. The light from the apartment not far away was still there, dazzling and bright, but it was not a reflection from a sniper scope at all, but simply a reflection from a glass window!

They were all fooled by this guy!
But who can you blame? Wasn't he afraid of something that threatened his life? He can't be blamed; anyone could fall for it!
"Damn it!" Harold was ready to give up entirely!
But before he could finish shouting his final words, the surrounding police officers had already reacted as well.

The group of people closest to him suddenly sprinted forward, trying to tackle the robber! The stalemate had been broken the moment He Ye made the move to throw the robber to the ground!

Even though this was an extremely sudden and unprepared situation, their sense of duty led them to make the most appropriate choice.

"Don't move! Hands up!"

"Put down the knife!"

"Don't hurt the hostages!"

The sheriffs, who were rushing in and shouting angrily, were so fierce that it seemed as if the robbers would be torn to pieces if they made a single move!

The original four-man robbery team has now been reduced to three members.

And this is the arrival of the fourth second.

Faced with police officers rushing in from all directions, A, the henchman who was holding the freckled young man Quinn hostage, instinctively dropped his dagger—like being caught playing by a teacher and having his foxtail grass thrown away—he was still young and didn't want to die! As long as he could shift the blame to his boss later, ten years in jail was better than keeping his worthless life!

So when he saw the police officers rushing towards him, he immediately dropped the knife and raised his hands to surrender, his wavering will to resist shining brightly at that moment.

"Don't shoot!" Henchman A cried out, raising his hand in a trembling voice.
So only two of the four robbers remained.

It was also at the fourth second.

He Ye had already dealt with the villain Moses who had kidnapped him in the first two seconds. Then, in the third second, he turned around and saw the middle-aged bishop who was closest to him, and Harold who was already angry and ready to draw his knife.

With time running out and no time to think, and two gleaming knives pressed close to the necks of the two hostages, He Ye could only do his best!

"Don't move!" He Ye shouted, frowning.

The middle-aged bishop stared in shock, mouth agape, as He Ye strode forward. His mind was still blank, frozen on the image of the robber being thrown to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.

"you!……"

The middle-aged bishop wanted to shout something, perhaps a shocked expression, but the next second a gust of wind brushed past his cheek and struck the robber behind him hard on the nose!
"Ugh!" Brother B was punched so hard his eyes rolled back and he staggered backward.

"Huh?" The middle-aged bishop blinked.

I think I've been rescued?
Yes, he was rescued; the robber's knife was smashed on the ground and could no longer harm him.

But four seconds had already passed. Harold's will was stronger than expected; this ruthless villain was determined to take someone down with him, and his dagger was already close to Aisha's neck, almost within a hair's breadth!
He shouted angrily, "Then let's die together!"

This is the footage from the fifth second!

Miss Elsa, already heartbroken, closed her eyes with tears streaming down her face, awaiting her fate. Darren, the fastest officer, was only a meter away with a grim face, while He Ye, who had just dealt with his underling B, was about half a meter away.

Even though he had clenched his fists, ready to punch that bastard, the distance and the fleeting time were fraught with danger! He wasn't sure if he could make it!
finally--

"Don't hurt her!!"

In a corner where no one was paying attention, Quinn, a black-haired, freckled youth who had been freed from the very first two seconds, trembled and fearfully lunged forward!
With red eyes and clenched teeth, he rammed his body into Harold's left shoulder, a desperate and all-out assault!
No one paid attention to him for those two seconds, but he figured out what was important to him!

Thank God! He shoved the murderous villain aside, like a rhinoceros colliding with a wild boar, even though Elsa in Harold's arms had closed her eyes in despair, letting herself fall helplessly forward like a feather.

Fortunately, He Ye arrived in time.
It's just arriving in a different sense.

"so far so good……"

He Ye, who had just hugged Miss Elsa, breathed a sigh of relief. His heroic rescue scene was not bad.

But no one appreciated it, because the scene was in complete chaos. The only one who could appreciate it was Miss Elsa herself, who had come to her senses, her eyes dim and bewildered.

She felt herself being hugged, her forehead pressed against someone's chest, and all around her was a noisy commotion.

Meanwhile, Quinn, who had knocked Harold down, rolled forward with him, stumbling uncontrollably across the lawn until, after a moment, his body came to a stop, his internal organs writhing in agony.

Quinn barely opened his eyes, only to find that the villain Harold had rallied and was standing in front of him, knife in hand, ready to stab himself in the chest! His face was contorted in rage!

"go to hell!"

Quinn was terrified at the sight!
But at this moment, the scene of a hero saving a damsel in distress unfolds once again!
"McKinney!—"

Lieutenant Darren roared out the fraudster's name! His heroic entrance, like Leo's flying kick, landed precisely on Harold's cheek!!

The kick sent Harold's front teeth flying through the air, the teeth gleaming silver and stained with blood.

Harold was thrown to the side by the impact!

"boom!"

Immediately after landing and coming to a stop, Darren didn't even glance at him. Instead, he quickly moved forward after delivering the flying kick and finished him off with another kick!

"You fucking try to negotiate, huh! Huh! You even raised the price to 300,000 crowns! Damn it!" He kicked Harold's body wildly.

"Handcuff me... damn it!" Darren, exhausted from kicking, brushed his hair back and raised his hand to give the order.

"Quick, quick! Hold them down!"

"Check if the hostages are injured!"

The police officers who had arrived quickly shouted and divided the tasks. Originally, there were only a few people around, but now there were dozens of people. They subdued the bad guys and made them give up. The screams and curses were all mixed together.

Someone came to their senses.

All of this happened far too fast.

"I'm... rescued?"

The middle-aged bishop trembled, then quickly made a gesture of prayer, his emotions spiraling out of control: "Oh, thank God!"

Cheers erupted from the onlookers, who, upon closer inspection, realized the sound was coming from the rooftop of the apartment building! There were even people who looked like reporters standing there! They were all beaming with joy!

They were still watching!

There are always people joining in the fun everywhere...

"Are you alright, buddy? You really scared us! That was so risky, but thankfully you're okay..."

A sheriff approached He Ye and inquired about his rank, seemingly that of a captain. The man patted He Ye on the back in encouragement and approval, while He Ye released Miss Aisha and waved to indicate her condition.

"Her neck is bleeding. Please check her. Hopefully, it's just a scrape."

After saying this, He Ye let out a long sigh. Looking around, he noticed that more and more police officers were arriving. It seemed that they were indeed plotting something on the outskirts, so there weren't many people setting up in the park.

I didn't expect the hostages to resist.

Indeed, no one expected this, so the police officers deployed along the only route are now turning back, canceling their original plans.

Citizens gradually appeared on the street, and some even crossed the police line and ran inside. The police officers quickly stopped the unknown person, and the girl with short black hair pushed and shoved him like a rabbit.

"Sir! You scared me to death! Are you alright?"

She called out from afar, waving her hand with all her might.

He Ye snapped out of his daze, patted his shirt and found that only the hem was slightly dirty. He raised his hand and waved it lightly, calmly replying:
"fine."

"Overall, it was a success, wasn't it?"
