The Sword Saint of Arknights [MTL/Machine Translation]

Chapter 21 | Follow Up

"You have already lost."

"What?!"

At that moment, "Big Brother" halted in his steps.

He checked his body as if looking for any wounds, but he found nothing.

At that moment, a faint smile appeared on his face; he took Roy's words as a joke.

Just then, sudden pain echoed within him, and soon, tiny cuts appeared all over his body, blood flowing from everywhere within seconds.

"This... this is..."

Without answering his question, Roy pressed the talk button on his walkie-talkie.

"This is Officer Roy, the leader has been subdued."

Glancing at the mafia members charging at him, Roy said this while effortlessly weaving through them.

They couldn't pose much of an obstacle to him, especially after losing their leader, their threat was greatly reduced. After all, no matter how well-trained, they were still just a gang and naturally lacked the military's ability to reorganize swiftly.

Moreover, even an army couldn't quickly rebuild its command system after the loss of its commander, let alone a gang.

"Command vehicle received, issuing new orders. Officer Roy, please take the leader and break through to the north side street. Pink Sausage Dragon, go and meet him."

"Understood..."

Swire's voice came through the walkie-talkie, followed by Chen's voice.

However, perhaps because of Swire's nickname, Chen sounded a bit annoyed.

"Received."

As he spoke, Roy looked northward.

The bright sound of police sirens filled the area, especially loud on the north side street. At that moment, the mafia collided with the surrounding officers, but due to the difference in training and equipment, they couldn't inflict any real damage on the officers!

Carrying the mafia member who was almost lying in a pool of blood, Roy advanced towards the north side street.

With every step forward, Roy had to block several attacks from around him, each step requiring more effort. If this continued, he might fall before reaching his destination.

However, that would only happen if he did nothing but move forward, which was not the case. After all, he was still far from having no plan left.

"Broken Army..."

At that moment, Roy, holding his sword in one hand, slightly bent down.

"Rising Dragon Strike!"

Like a fighter jet catapulting off, or a bull full of momentum, after a brief charge, Roy began to sprint. With a barely visible glow, he collided with the "human wall" formed by the mafia, shaking the ground like an earthquake!

In an instant, the wall was breached. Without any hesitation, Roy dragged "Big Brother" towards the shield wall formed by the officers as the wall broke. However, he wasn't panicking; his thinking was clear!

Roy understood that once he broke through the mafia's line, those with crossbows could shoot without restraint. As for the captured guy... obviously, his death meant nothing compared to the exposure of mafia intelligence, even if he was a leader.

But Roy wouldn't let them have their way, and neither would the Guard Bureau.

"Draw your sword!"

Almost at the moment the crossbow bolts were fired, a figure leaped from behind the shield wall, and a fierce sword qi burst forth, cutting and swallowing the arrows before they could hit their target.

Only the voice of the sword's owner lingered in the air, it was Chen. This was her sword-drawing technique, similar in principle to the sword-drawing slash Roy learned from the system but different in execution.

This opportunity allowed Roy to enter the ranks of the officers. At that moment, the mafia could no longer take back their leader from Roy, and of course, they also lost the possibility to escape.

"Doctor, we have a wounded man here!"

As Roy finished speaking, several stretcher-bearing medics approached. After placing the man on the stretcher, the rescuers took him towards the ambulance. At that moment, Roy gave a signal to two nearby officers.

The two understood Roy's intention and, without hesitation, the sword-wielding pair headed towards the ambulance.

...

The battle didn't last long. The Guard Bureau only suffered a few injured officers before they completed the capture of the mafia. Now, the mafia members were placed in the temporary detention center of the Lungmen Guard Bureau's Law Enforcement Case Center, guarded by officers skilled in Originium Arts capable of preventing communication.

Currently, Roy, Chen, and Swire stood in the public area of the Law Enforcement Case Center, facing several experts summoned from various departments to assist in the interrogation.

"You are the elites from various departments. You have been temporarily called here today not for anything else but because of the vicious incident that occurred this morning."

Chen addressed the officers standing at attention.

The case from this morning had already been reported on TV, so it was no secret to these elite officers from various departments, and they were not surprised by it.

They were not new to interrogating gang members; after all, they had participated in such interrogations before.

The only surprise was the number of arrests this time.

"This is a serious police-related incident. The motive, the instigator... I hope you can investigate these matters within 24 hours. Now, get to work."

As Chen finished speaking, the officers prepared to leave, but at that moment, Roy stepped forward.

"Wait."

At that moment, everyone's gaze turned to him, including Chen and Swire.

"The current case is classified as confidential. To prevent leaks, please turn off all communication devices and hand them in."

As he spoke, Roy took out his phone, turned it off, and placed it in a prepared plastic container.

However, as his words ended, the officers hesitated.

By rank, Roy was naturally their superior, but such a request was unheard of in the Lungmen Guard Bureau. Moreover, Roy was not the main decision-maker, so their gaze shifted to Chen.

"Do as he says."

After speaking, Chen took out her communication device, turned it off, and placed it in the box.
