Chapter 25: The Tragedy of Minor Characters

Within the residential area, police sirens blared. Moments later, urgent footsteps echoed through the corridor.

"Don't move!"

"Get down!"

"Release the hostage!"

A group of police officers stormed into the room. Their faces were stern, some even appeared nervous, as they surrounded Yang Haoran. They yelled and threatened him aggressively.

The dark muzzles of their guns were pointed directly at him. Any slight movement from him would undoubtedly result in a barrage of bullets. There was no doubt about that.

While the surface of the New Genesis World seemed peaceful, turmoil brewed beneath. Hence, regardless of which city in the New Genesis World, whenever police officers responded to a call, they came fully armed. Though Lecheng was just an insignificant small city within the New Genesis World, it was no exception.

Seeing the multitude of gun barrels aimed at him, Yang Haoran's face turned pale. He had never experienced such a standoff in his life. It was impossible not to feel nervous. Any misstep could lead to irreversible consequences!

"Listen, officers, this is a misunderstanding... I mean..." Yang Haoran's nerves caused his words to come out disjointed.

"Shut up! Release the hostage immediately! Or we'll open fire!" a police officer roared, warning Yang Haoran once more.

"I'm unarmed! What's going on? Hostage? What hostage?" Yang Haoran grew anxious.

Bang!

His answer came in the form of a gunshot, not aimed at him but as a warning shot.

Yang Haoran's heart skipped a beat as he realized he was still holding Jiang Zhenzhen in his arms. Looking down, he seemed to understand what was happening. He quickly put Jiang Zhenzhen down, awkwardly smiled, and began to explain, "It's a misunderstanding, officers. Truly a misunderstanding. Do you believe me?"

As he spoke, Jiang Zhenzhen was already placed on the ground. He slowly stood up and pulled up his pants. However, at that moment, a fragrant breeze hit him, followed by a sharp pain in his groin as someone kicked him hard!

Bang!

Yang Haoran's expression changed drastically as intense pain made his eyes almost pop out of their sockets.

Rather than a reminder, it sounded more like a threat. Yang Haoran felt extremely displeased, even outraged. He had an impulse to go over and slap the woman a few times!

However, he didn't act on it. Not only did he refrain from doing so, but he also put on a seemingly natural smile.

He wanted to say something, but the female officer didn't give him the chance. She calmly continued, "Although you're not involved in a home invasion, you were still acting suspiciously. If you continue this behavior, I can assure you, you'll be back here for tea, and that day won't be too far off."

With that, the female officer walked away briskly, not even sparing Yang Haoran another glance. It seemed she was extremely disgusted with Yang Haoran and his charlatan-like behavior.

Watching the female officer's retreating figure, the seemingly natural smile vanished from Yang Haoran's face, replaced by a cold expression.

These officers had beaten him up indiscriminately, especially the female officer, who had been the most vicious and brutal. However, in the end, he hadn't even heard an apology from her. He was simply kicked out of the police station and even threatened. Anyone who went through what he did would probably feel angry.

Yang Haoran had experienced a lot over the years, so most of the time, he didn't show his emotions on his face, nor did he easily get angry. But that didn't mean he had no anger inside him.

At this moment, he felt very irritated, very angry. However, he was rational. He didn't make a scene or utter threats, as doing so would only bring him more trouble.

Making threats required absolute strength. When a powerful person makes threats, it creates immense psychological pressure on the other party. If someone without strength makes threats, it becomes a joke and only brings more embarrassment to oneself.

Above the police station hung a giant police badge. The design of this police badge was unique, consisting of a shield and two long spears. In the middle of the spears was a character "乐", representing the Lecheng Police Department of the New Genesis World.

A police badge was an inanimate object, yet this police badge exuded an invisible pressure. With a cold face, Yang Haoran stared fixedly at the huge police badge above the station, pondering something in his mind.

After a while, he withdrew his gaze. In his cold eyes, there was determination, as if in that moment, he had figured something out and made a certain decision.

In his view, the reason he ended up in this miserable state was ultimately because he lacked real strength. If he had the ability to deal with the young man known as Decaying Corpse Granny, would he be in this situation now?

The answer was obviously no!

If he possessed the abilities of the mysterious young man and became a high-level practitioner like him, not only would he not be frightened by Decaying Corpse Granny, nor would he be captured by the police as if he were a criminal, causing him to be extremely angry!

At this moment, a strong desire to change himself arose in him. He wanted to become a high-level practitioner like the mysterious young man and change his identity as a charlatan.

In the past, he also wanted to change himself, but he had no way. Now, he felt that an opportunity had appeared before him. He didn't want to miss it, even if it meant paying a huge price. He wanted to seize this opportunity!Findd new stories at novelhall.com
