Chapter 365 - 372 Ambush
Helen Wilson was on duty tonight and received a report after 10 PM that a group of people were gathering to gamble here.
Nowadays, with Mahjong parlors all over, they are generally left alone. Although gambling is illegal, the stakes within these parlors are typically small, almost seen as a form of entertainment. Therefore, the local police stations tend to turn a blind eye unless there is a report, in which case they would take no action.
But today’s report indicated that the stakes were very high, and Helen couldn’t ignore it, leading her to specifically bring six police officers to handle the situation.
Cracking down on gambling is usually routine—people caught are simply relieved of their betting money and fined. There’s rarely any resistance, so Helen and her team were quite relaxed, not even bothering to carry guns, with the intention of covering all exits to prevent escapes.
However, upon entering the premise, Helen and her team were in for a surprise—the six individuals inside were all skilled fighters who quickly overpowered them, injuring two officers who suffered head injuries and bleeding profusely.
At this moment, Helen found herself cornered by two strong men and exclaimed in horror, "How dare you assault a police officer!"
One of the big men sat at the Mahjong table, toying with an exquisite dagger in one hand and an apple in the other. The tip of the dagger was placed on top of the apple, which was rapidly rotating in his hand. In a few seconds, he neatly peeled the apple, took a bite, and then said, "Officer Monaghan, do you really question our audacity?"
Helen was even more horrified, realizing who this man was and shouted, "You are William Power!"
The man was indeed William Power, the brother of William Armstrong. He carelessly tossed the dagger and apple onto the table, clapped his hands, and laughed, "Smart police, you recognized me right away."
Helen immediately retorted, "You’ve got some nerve, daring to take a criminal as a hostage!"
"Ha-ha... Thank you for the compliment, Officer Monaghan!" William Power stood up and walked directly toward Helen.
