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 ! ”
