Chapter 22: Assaults

"Hey Sandra, why do you want to break up with me?" Said the man while crying, "Didn't you say that you love me? Have you been lying all this time? Have you found another man besides me?"

While saying this, the knife he was carrying slowly pushed through Sandra's neck that it started to drip blood. "Hey ... Tell me, do you still love me?" He asked in a trembling voice.

Seeing the blood, the manager and the others started to panic. The manager just hoped that the police would arrive soon.

"Ah!" When the knife was stuck in her neck, Sandra could not help but scream in panic. She was really scared.

"I still love you!" Sandra said haltingly.

"No way… There's no way you love me! If you still love me, why are you asking to break up?" The man's scream grew even more intense, "You liar! You betrayed my feelings!"

"Calm down first. Looks like you misunderstood your girlfriend. Your girlfriend must have her own reasons, so you better talk about it with a cool head. So put the knife down and speak nicely."

"Get out of here!"

The man pulled the knife he had stuck to his girlfriend's neck and began swinging it forward, frightening the manager.

"All of you! You don't know anything about my feelings!" The man then took a step back and put the knife back around Sandra's neck saying, "If you take one more step, then I will kill this bitch."

"Alright, alright." The manager quickly complied, "We are not going any further."

Seeing the crowd did not take another step forward, the man looked back at Sandra and asked, "Why ... Why do you want to end our relationship?"

Sandra swallowed hard, she regretted that she felt she had to break up nicely with this jerk who couldn't accept reality. The manager from afar tried to send a message through his body movements. He wanted to convey that whatever happened, Sandra must remain calm.

But Sandra did not understand what the manager was saying. She just looked at her boyfriend and said, "You want to know why we broke up? Do you think I like seeing you lazing around every day without trying to find work? I am not a stupid woman, how could I want to be with a lazy and hopeless man like you."

"You are lying. You must have dated other men before you finally decided to break up with me." The man grasped the knife tighter. The scream of pain from Sandra immediately followed after that. It turned out that the man had tore his shirt and slashed himself in the arm. Even though his arm was only scratched, blood was still pouring out of his shirt.

"Hey calm down." The manager really wanted to cry. This incident was absolutely never thought would happen while he was working. 'Unfortunately my fate is to meet you.' He thought. Why could this happen in his career?

At this time, a siren could be heard from outside and someone shouted, "The police have arrived!"

At the same time, a policewoman with several of her subordinates entered the restaurant. Ryan's eyes are fixed on the police leader, 'What a beautiful flower.' He thought to himself.

Even though she dressed in a police uniform, the woman's face still managed to make Ryan gurgle. The sharp nose, curled eyelashes and especially the warm aura that this woman exuded indicated that she had a calm personality. This gave Ryan a distinct impression.

Her beauty was not like his wife or Valerie. It still needed more polishing, but her current beauty had captivated his heart. The officer named Mia was leading her team in this case, and her first job was to evacuate people inside the room.

"You guys take these people out and secure the location." Mia ordered, "Who is the person in charge of this place?"

The manager walked over to her and explained what he knew. After hearing this, Mia made a face of disbelief, 'You stupid man, just a trifle like that he did all this?'

But everyone's safety was the main priority.

Mia then took a deep breath and said to her subordinates, "Everyone be prepared!"

Then she immediately came to the perpetrator's line of sight and said, "Good afternoon sir, I am Mia from the Avalerion city police unit. If you need help, we will help you."

"Go all of you! I don't need any help from you!" This man was already looking crazy with the knife still swinging.

"This bitch has been playing with another man behind me. Now that she found a man who was more handsome and richer, she dumped me right away! You cheap woman!" The knife he was holding returned to Sandra's neck and this made anyone who saw him fear again.

Mia concluded that this problem was very serious. If this continued, she was afraid that this man would do something reckless.

The woman was in danger.

While Mia was thinking, a voice appeared from her communication device, "Report, the results of the perpetrator's examination have shown that he has an unstable character based on the information from his friends."

"Hmmm… so he has a tendency to do this to the end. Are you able to subdue it?"

"50%, our chances will be better if special unit members are deployed."

"Call headquarters and explain our situation."

"Well!"

After that, Mia stepped back towards the perpetrator and said, "Calm down, you don't have to do all this. That woman is also innocent."

"Ha ha ha! I do not care anymore. Even if I die today, I'll take this whore with me to hell."

Mia was looking for an opportunity. The perpetrator was unable to run because he had a wall behind him, but there were still items blocking him from the side. Therefore, to subdue the perpetrator needed a direct shot from the front. But it was difficult because of the hostages.

The people who heard this started to get angry. Auntie who had previously tried to calm him down shouted, "You bastard man! If you want to die, don't bring someone else!"

'This is bad….'

Mia immediately turned around and scolded her, "Don't provoke the suspect."

When the man saw them fighting, he just laughed out loud, "She is right. I have given up on my life, but before I die I have to make sure that this woman will die with me."

Sandra trembled even more with fear. Hearing these words at the same time feeling the knife in her neck getting stuck deeper, made her scream as loud as possible.

"Do not move!" Suddenly the perpetrator shouted at Mia, "If you dare to take one more step, I will kill her!"

Damn, how could he be so observant. Mia increasingly thought of some of the worst scenarios that could happen in her mind. She couldn't back down now.

"How about you put down the knife first? We are here to help you." Mia said.

"Go! What can you do for me? " He said with a vicious laugh, "What? Are you afraid I will kill her?"

'Where are the special forces?' Mia felt the situation was getting worse every second.

At this moment, a voice shocked her, "Are you sure you can kill her?"

Everyone present there was shocked, their eyes immediately headed towards Ryan.

Mia immediately became angry. How stupid was that person, he might even provoke the suspect.

"Ha ha ha! What are you talking about? Don't you see that she is in my hand and this knife can stab her neck easily?" This man felt that Ryan's words were very funny.

Ryan replied with a smile on his face, "I don't think so. How about this, try to kill her. For a bastard like you, I only need one fork."

Mia gave him a look full of hatred. If she was beside Ryan she might have slammed the man.

"Alright then!" The man immediately raised his hand up high trying to stab his girlfriend in the neck.

"Ah!"

Everyone there immediately shouted, Mia's heart seemed to stop beating when she saw the swing of the knife immediately fall. However, what happened was not the bloody scene that people thought. Ryan who was holding a fork had thrown it at an unusual speed. Before the knife stuck in Sandra's neck, Ryan's fork had already been stuck on the hand holding the knife.

"Ah!"

The man immediately screamed in pain. His hand immediately dropped the knife he was holding tightly. Mia immediately saw an opportunity to secure the perpetrator. She immediately stepped forward and slammed the man down. She quickly confined the perpetrator's hands by handcuffing them. During this process, the perpetrator could only cry in pain.

The police who were there immediately helped their boss.

In just an instant, this hostage case was over.

Everyone there was still amazed. The fork was stuck in the perpetrator's hand until half of it was embedded around his wrist.

The man who threw it… was he still human?

Everyone's eyes were still on Ryan. They looked at him with amazed and astonished eyes.

Valerie, who had been beside him, was still looking at all of this with her mouth open and felt an immense admiration for Ryan.

Mia, who had succeeded in securing the perpetrator, saw Ryan's figure staring at her with a smiling face. This female officer was still shocked by all this. If Ryan hadn't intervened then the victim might not have survived.
