Shadow Empire

Chapter 812: Less is More Precious

What do you mean... the whole family is here?

My brother-in-law suddenly felt unhappy. What he said sounded like there was nothing wrong with it, but it gave people an uncomfortable feeling.

It's like everyone believes in God, but not everyone is willing to return to God's arms!
He said "Hey", but before he could say anything else, his sister nodded and said, "My family is all here."

He glanced at his sister and finally stopped talking.

However, he kept these people in mind. When his brother-in-law Sheriff Matthew came back, he would complain to Matthew and ask them to cause trouble for these impolite policemen!
Erwin smiled, squatted down, looked at the little girl and boy in front of him, and put his hands on their shoulders. "Kids, I invite you to visit the theme park in Likalai State. How about that?"

"There are the most interesting and advanced amusement equipment in the Federation. Do you know the roller coaster?"

"And there's a huge Ferris wheel..."

The little girl might be more precocious. She had sensed something was wrong in all aspects. Even though the man in front of her was a policeman, who had the same profession as her father, she did not feel good about it.

She stepped back, holding onto Matthew's wife's arm tightly, and then looked up at the woman.

Her brother, on the other hand, shouted “yeah, yeah” and turned back to look at Matthew’s wife with an impatient expression, “Mom, when are we leaving?”

If at this point, anyone still doesn't understand what's going on, they must be an idiot!

Alvin was standing next to Matthew's wife and children. The thugs and police didn't dare to do anything, and they couldn't do anything.

When one of the thugs thrust his hand into his chest, a police officer standing behind him took out a dagger and cut his carotid artery.

The damage to the carotid artery was extremely horrifying. Blood was "splattering" out in large pieces. It wasn't flowing or spurting out, it was splashing out!

He first tilted his head to take a look at the splattered blood, and seemed to have not yet figured out what it was.

Then he reached out his hand and touched it, and suddenly realized something, and quickly covered it with his hand!

One hand is not enough, so use two hands. But how can the bleeding from this kind of wound be stopped by hands?
Even if the carotid artery ruptures at the door of the hospital, there is a high probability that the patient cannot be saved.

In just a few seconds, he collapsed to the ground. The blood made the ground slippery. He tried to get up, but his hands and feet slipped in the blood and he had no strength, so he kept falling.

His movements also caused his blood to flow quickly, and gradually, after falling down once, he never got up again.

The blood started to splash, then gushed, and finally slowly flowed. In just twenty or thirty seconds, he was completely motionless.

The children seemed to have just reacted at this moment, their distorted faces were full of fear!
Just when they were about to shout, Erwin made a gesture to silence them, "Don't disturb others."

He smiled, then stood up, "Madam, do you need to pack your luggage?"

The brother-in-law next to him has stopped talking. He seems to be in a special state. The toughness he showed before is replaced by weakness at this moment.

He lowered his head, not even wanting these people to notice him. He also felt a little ashamed because he should stand up and stand in front of his sister.

But now, he doesn't dare to do that.

"I... no, I don't know..."

Erwin shook his head. "In that case, let's not clean it up. We'll prepare new changes of clothes for you."

As he spoke, he made a gesture to start fighting, and soon everyone else in the room started fighting.

The four Lance family members outside the courtyard who were pretending to be police officers heard faint gunshots, but they didn't care. The gunshots couldn't be heard very far and were not loud.

There is a long distance between villas in the wealthy area, and there are various vegetation to serve as cover. The richer people are, the more they care about personal privacy.

As long as you don't fire in the open air, but fire in a room with the door closed, the noise outside won't be too loud.

After a burst of gunfire, Ervin and his men came out. His brother-in-law's expression became distorted and frightened, and his lips were still trembling.

He was lucky enough to save his life, while the others were left inside.

Erwin wouldn't let them pass on the message.

When getting in the car, Alan asked, "They have another child, do we need to capture him too?"

"We still have a little time."

Erwin glanced at the watch on his wrist and thought for a moment, "You want to go?"

Alan nodded, "I can try, if there is no chance I will leave."

Erwin thought about it for a few more seconds, "Okay, but be careful."

Alan walked to another police car. He looked at Sheriff Matthew's wife and said, "I want to borrow your necklace."

After saying this, without waiting for the woman's consent, he pulled off the necklace from her neck.

It was a very popular necklace nowadays, made of gold, with a pendant. The front of the pendant was made of some broken gemstones, surrounded by some scattered diamonds as embellishment.

On the back of the book, there is an openable lid, which contains photos of Sheriff Matthew and her, as well as photos of their three children.

It sounds big, but it is not actually that big. Using photo zoom technology, it is not difficult to put three people's heads together, and only the heads are in the picture.

The woman didn't know why the man wanted to steal her necklace, but considering that her child was still with her, she chose to remain silent.

The convoy arrived at the gate, and Allen's car was still in the first place. He had taken off his sunglasses and put one hand on the window. He smiled and said to the security guard who was walking over, "Another false alarm. Did you offend someone?"

The security guard glanced at the police car behind him, but before he could take a closer look, Alan said, "Can you open the door for me?"

"We have other things to do!"

The security guard looked back from behind. He signaled his security companion to open the door and asked casually, "Where is my colleague?"

"He, he said he wanted to go around and see who was playing the prank."

This was a possibility, so the security guard at the door didn't think much about it, nodded, and retreated to the security room.

The convoy filed out, and Erwin led his men directly out of the city from the east, while Allen went to Redstone University.

"There are so many people in the university, how can we find him?"

In the car, Allen's men asked this question.

In fact, he didn't know how many people there were in Red Rock University, but what he said was right.

There are a lot of people in Red Stone University, at least more than six thousand people.

It may not be easy to find someone among more than 6,000 people.

The man driving the car added, "Besides, we have to take him away from so many people. If even one person thinks that something is wrong, an accident could happen."

Alan looked at the young man driving the car, "You are scared."

The young man gripped the steering wheel and said, "I'm not scared, I just feel that if we just go forward like this, we might not be able to do what you want to do."

Allen thought about it and shook his head, "We don't have to take him away. We can also find a corner to kill him."

“When you have ten dollars, you will spend one dollar without hesitation because you still have nine dollars left.”

"But when you only have one dollar left, you have to think about how to spend it."

"Maybe if one of them dies, he will pay more attention to the other two and his family, and understand that we are not just trying to scare him!"

The man said no more, but he repeated, "I'm not afraid."

Alan smiled and patted his shoulder, "I know, brother."

The car quickly blended into the traffic flow.

Red Rock University is located on the edge of Red Rock City and is the pride of this city.

It was already 6:30 in the evening when they arrived at Redstone University, which was the time for the federals to have dinner, and Alvin and the others should have left the city by now.

The police station has discovered that a large number of their police uniforms have been stolen, but they did not take it seriously. They just thought that it might have been some short-sighted thieves who stole them.

The police chief was so angry that he ordered the police officers to catch the thieves. They did not realize what would happen if the police uniforms were combined with several unmanned police cars. At 6:50, Erwin and the other three arrived at Red Rock University. Standing outside the huge stone gate of Red Rock University, they inexplicably felt awe.

It may be a reverence for knowledge, but it is definitely not a reverence for people.

When a person kills another person, they will lose their respect for their own kind and for life.

But they still have some awe for knowledge and things they don't understand.

Alan thought there would be a security room or something like that, and that security guards would stop him from going in, but the truth was that he was overthinking it.

There was no security room or security guard inside the gate, and no one cared what they were doing here. Some students just glanced at them and left in a hurry.

The three of them soon arrived inside the university. To be honest, no one came to interfere with them, which made Alan a little overwhelmed. But fortunately, people in this era were still relatively simple.

He asked around and found the faculty office building, where he found a staff member.

"There is a student named ..., something happened in his family, and we have some news that we want to inform him of, but we don't know how to find him."

A woman in her forties wearing glasses looked at Allen in disbelief, "God, is this something bad?"

Alan nodded with a seemingly serious expression, "Unfortunately, it is like this."

The lady sighed heavily, "Come with us, I'll show you the broadcasting room..."

Soon they arrived at the broadcasting room. On the way there, Alan asked the lady not to talk about the incident at his home and just let him come over. The lady also expressed her understanding.

Soon the broadcast sounded in the campus, and a big boy who was kissing a girl looked up at the radio speaker and smiled, which he thought was very charming, "Damn it, I'll be right back!"

The girl nodded and kissed him again, and he stood up, collected himself, and trotted out the door.

He also wants to come back as soon as possible to continue exploring the limits of human physiology with his girlfriend.

Matthew's eldest son looks very ordinary, but his family is rich. Unlike others who go to college by taking out loans, he directly paid all the college expenses.

This money was nothing to his family, and Sheriff Matthew was quite fond of his eldest son.

After all, the eldest son has been with him the longest, and he is often outside for a long time, so he is not so close to the two younger children.

Feelings are something that can only exist when you are together. If there is a little distance, the feeling will quickly cool down.

Seven or eight minutes later, Matthew's eldest son met Alan downstairs in the office building.

At first he didn't realize that the police were looking for him, but Alan had seen his photo in the villa, so he called him out.

He stood there, frowning, "Are you my father's men?"

There was a hint of arrogance in his tone when he said this. For a state police sheriff, this rank was actually not low and was higher than most police officers, so what he said was not excessive.

It can be seen that Sheriff Matthew had sent people to look for him before.

It’s just that his tone makes people feel uncomfortable, like a young master from a landlord’s family, giving people an uncomfortable feeling as if they are being ordered around.

Alan was going to shake his head, but he suddenly thought of something and smiled. "Sheriff Matthew asked us to come. He is in some trouble now, so he asked us to take you over to reunite with your mother and the others."

The young man frowned, "The school is safe. I can stay here and not go anywhere."

Alan persuaded again, "Sheriff Matthew asked us to do this, don't make it difficult for us, okay?"

The young man's gaze lingered on Alan and the others. He felt that the police officers who came this time were too young.

He had seen the policemen under his father's command. Most of them were basically 27 or 28 years old. There were some in their early twenties, but they had hardly ever been here.

Sheriff Matthew has reached the second half of his life, and he no longer has the energy to continue training and accepting young people who have just joined the police station.

And with the introduction of some reports, people are becoming more and more aware of the situation of highway police, and it is no longer so easy to deceive young people into suffering.

On the contrary, some adults who find it difficult to find jobs in society will receive training and regard this as a way out in life. Therefore, even if there are new police officers coming in, they will not be those who are 17 or 18 years old, just graduated from high school, or in their early twenties.

They have not yet been whipped by society and are covered in blood, so it is impossible for them to bow their heads and endure hardship.

Alan took the necklace out of his pocket and said, "Your mother knew we were coming to see you and was afraid that we couldn't convince you, so she gave us her necklace."

Seeing his mother's necklace, the young man believed them a little, "I'm going to call her. I don't have to go back."

Allen said again, "Madam has taken your brother and sister to the safe house. There is no phone there. When we came, she told us that we could take you away by force if necessary."

It was very late, and the young man had not done much research on the uniforms of city police and highway police, so although he was a little reluctant, he still agreed.

"I need to say goodbye to my classmates and take some personal belongings with me."

Allen resisted the urge to kill him here, but still nodded, "We'll go with you."

Soon they arrived outside the young man's dormitory. He packed up some things and left with Alan and the others.

Walking towards the gate, he asked as he walked, "What happened that requires us all to hide?"

Alan explained the current situation to Sheriff Matthew as if he were really his subordinate.

Hearing that the situation was so tense, the young people did not dare to act too recklessly. "These gangs are so rampant!"

He complained, and then the group arrived at the parking lot and got into the car.

For some reason, the young man sitting in the car always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put it into words for a while.

When the car was almost completely away from the university, he suddenly realized.

When I got in the car just now, it was written on the police car: "Red Rock City Police" instead of "Indenno State Police".

His father is a police officer in the state police department and cannot mobilize local police to do private work. These people were not sent by his father!
But he was still unsure, and he still wanted to figure out if he had made a mistake. With his scalp tingling, he asked softly, in a trembling voice that he didn't even notice, "How is Leon doing recently?"

"It's the assistant beside my father."

Allen was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Leon is fine, always fine."

The young man was certain that these people were not sent by his father, because there was no one named Leon around his father.

These people are fake, they are just those gang members!
Thinking of this, he began to sweat all over. Alan, who was sitting next to him, felt that something was wrong with him and kept wiping his sweat.

It's early November and the weather has cooled down, so how is it possible to sweat so much?

It is said that young people sweat easily. He is a young man, so he does not sweat.

"Can you... open the window a little?"

"I feel a little breathless."

Alan nodded and rolled down the window a little to let the cold wind from outside in.

The young man looked at the road outside the window and the relatively large number of students walking on both sides of the road. He suddenly rushed to the window and shouted loudly -

"Help!"

"Fake!"

Alan immediately grabbed his hair and pulled it back, "If you don't want to die, sit the fucking way back!"

At the same time he shouted "speed up".

The driver stepped on the accelerator suddenly, and the tires slipped and the car rushed out. The pedestrians around were a little stunned, not knowing what had happened.

The young man did not give up hope of escaping and seeking help. He continued to shout, "Help..."

However, Allen did not give him a chance to continue calling for help. He pulled out the dagger from his waist and stabbed him in the neck several times...

He pushed the young man under the seat and continued to open the sunroof for him, "Get out of here, get out now!"
