This Cheney had been one of the four men in black, and they had most likely been there to see Thomas.

Luke said, “Selina, call Deputy Chief Thomas. I have his office number in my phone.”

Selina did as told. A short while later, the call connected, and after a short conversation, she turned on the phone speaker and placed the phone in front of Cheney.

Cheney spoke quickly. “Deputy Chief Thomas, this is Agent Charles from the FBI. I was there when our head, John, went to see you. We’re currently trying to arrest the suspect. Can you get your officers to provide us support?”

Thomas asked from the other end of the phone, “Where’s your head? Get him to talk to me.”

Thomas was quite helpless himself as he had never spoken to this Agent Charles before, so he didn’t recognize the voice.

Luke interjected, “Deputy Chief Thomas, Luke here. This morning around 10:50 am, I saw a group of four men dressed in black leaving the department. I myself saw this person following a bearded, middle-aged person who was about 40 years old and 1.82 meters in height.”

After hearing that, Thomas was finally sure that this person was from that agency. After all, when he sent them off this morning, it was around 10:40 am. He thus said, “I see, that’s it then. Release him.”

After a slight hesitation, Thomas added, “If possible, try to help them as well.”

Luke replied, “Got it, deputy chief.”

Only then did Thomas end the call.

Luke gestured at Selina as she immediately removed the cuffs from the man on the ground.

Cheney, the fake FBI Agent Charles, quickly stood up and stretched his arms. Luke picked up the gun on the ground and returned it to him. “Sorry, it’s a habit of the job.”

Cheney couldn’t be bothered to hold a grudge. He was well aware of how the police worked in America. Luke had acted accordingly as he took his safety and that of his fellow officer into consideration.

In any case, Luke was the one who had helped him quickly prove his identity.

Cheney quickly said, “Three of my colleagues are still in there. There are also some Mexican gang members in there. Also, there’s a female suspect in a red dress. Come with me and be very careful, especially when you encounter the woman in red. Keep your distance from her. She’s incredibly strong in melee combat.”

Luke’s heart thumped as he thought, “Red dress? The dead witch I saw earlier was in a red dress as well!”

He didn’t say anything and nodded. “Understood.”

Then, he pointed at the AK. “Do you want this?”

Cheney shook his head. “No thanks.” Things were very complicated in the building. Using an AK would only make things worse.

Luke nodded and cuffed the first person’s arm to his leg to ensure that he wouldn’t be able to flee even after waking up. Then, he searched that person for some AK magazines before saying, “Let’s go, Selina. Cover our backs.”

Selina nodded.

All three of them went through the iron door.

Cheney had only left earlier because he had been chasing the suspect with the AK, thinking that this person was their target.

But it turned out that he had been chasing the wrong person, and had gotten himself disarmed by Luke instead.

After the delay, he was very anxious. He only had three colleagues in there, and they had to face an entire Mexican gang. Apart from that, they had to be on the lookout for their target as well. Thus, they were in a rather bad spot.

The only good news was that their target was here to seek revenge against the Mexican gang. Thus, his colleagues wouldn’t be facing a two-pronged attack from both their target and the Mexican gang.

After going through a passageway, they arrived at a warehouse.

This place was huge and was filled with numerous goods that were piled up everywhere, which limited their line of sight.

Luke immediately understood why Cheney had refused the AK.

In such an environment, a pistol was much better than an AK.

But Luke didn’t mind.

He was far more dexterous than an average person, and after losing Robert’s basic firearms and basic special combat abilities, he switched to Salazar’s abilities instead.

The system was rather fair in this aspect.

So long as he met the requirement for the abilities, he could always freely switch from one person to another for the same ability.

Compared with Robert’s military abilities, Salazar’s SWAT abilities were far more suited to such an enclosed area.

Salazar was very well-practiced in using automatic rifles, even in such an enclosed area.

Cheney gestured at the two, and they understood what he was trying to say as he was using a common tactical gesture with them. The two then started advancing while providing each other cover.

In another corner of the warehouse, gunshots rang out every now and then, telling them clearly where to go.

Suddenly, a series of gunshots rang out as bullets rained down on Luke’s group.

Luke reacted speedily as he had noticed the enemy the instant the latter raised his gun.

Without hesitation, Luke kicked Cheney in the ass and sent him stumbling to the ground.

At the same time, Luke bent low to the ground as well. Through a tiny crack between piles, he saw a pair of legs about eight meters away from him, which belonged to the person firing at them.

Bang! Bang! Bang! After three shots, two bloody wounds were left in the legs. The enemy wailed before collapsing to the ground.

Without hesitation, Luke fired two more bullets at the enemy’s head, instantly silencing the latter.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of gunshots rang out, and this time, they were aimed at Luke. Evidently, killing the first gang member had put a target on his back.

Luke rolled away on the ground, bullet holes appearing right where he had been.

Luke had a calm expression on his face as he fired his AK once again.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

He fired two bursts of three shots each and took down two gang members.

Salazar was an expert at indoor combat like this; even Robert wasn’t his match.

After the two gang members went down, the warehouse sank into silence.

Cheney remained on the ground, not daring to move too much. The shootout earlier had ended as suddenly as it had started, and he was completely shocked.

As for Luke, he didn’t stop. He crouched in an odd posture like a frog as he quickly crawled around in the warehouse.

There had been more than two people firing at him earlier.

After moving away from the dangerous spot, Luke quickly gestured at Selina.

Selina instantly understood what he meant. She started firing bullets at where the gang members were taking cover.

The gang members were completely untrained, and all they did was reach out to fire their guns randomly.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After moving to the other side of the gang members, Luke fired his gun and took down another person.

Again, a hail of bullets rained down on Luke’s position.

At that moment, it was Selina’s turn to shift positions as she fired, causing a gang member to collapse to the ground as he clutched his shoulder.
