US police: outlaws

Chapter 130 The Death of the Sheriff

The explosion stunned the agents. A stun grenade is a weapon that instantly interferes with the target's hearing and vision through a high-intensity sound and a bright flash, so the three agents either fainted or knelt on the ground, unable to resist.

The guy lying on the ground playing with self-destruction was actually Lee Ethan's clone. The clone's eardrums were bleeding from being hit head-on by a stun grenade.

"XXX, your true form is making me feel terrible."

The cursed Lee Ethan and a clone emerged from the shadows. The clone used a gun to subdue the helpless agent, while Lee Ethan himself rushed over to the two agents in the car when they were distracted by the bright light, unleashing all his skills.

[Maximum Burst 70%]

[High-class surname excitement]

【Strength: 120】

[Agility: 82]

【Spirit: 35】

At that moment, Lee Ethan's muscles bulged, making his clothes bulge, and his whole body strength was enough to lift 1.5 tons and crash into the car at a speed of 23 meters per second.

"Bang"

Upon impact, Li Yisen only felt a tolerable shoulder pain, while the Chevrolet's door was dented and the glass shattered.

The two people in the car hadn't regained their vision yet when they felt the vehicle jolt, followed by violent shaking.

When it became barely visible, what came into view was a masked, burly man lifting one side of the vehicle, standing the 2.7-ton Chevrolet upright.

"How is that possible?"

"monster."

The next second, a smoke grenade was thrown into the vehicle, and the thick smoke forced the agents to climb out.

"Cough cough."

Li Yisen grabbed them one by one, easily knocking them unconscious as if he were catching whack-a-mole.

All that was left were three helpless creatures on the ground; an elite special agent squad was wiped out just like that.

Of course, Lee Ethan didn't kill the people, because he still had a great use for the follow-up operation. He turned the Chevrolet back to normal, crushed the in-vehicle surveillance camera, and drove away swaggeringly.

In a hidden warehouse in Los Angeles, five agents were tied up separately.

This warehouse was rented anonymously by Ethan Lee, who converted it into multiple soundproofed single rooms and various torture chambers.

Ethan Lee pushed himself up to sit in front of Agent Captain Mark Gray.

"You're awake."

"Who are you?"

"All you need to know is that I'm a member of the Revitalization Society."

"Revitalization Association!"

At that moment, Mark Gray knew he was finished; these lunatics were even willing to kill the governor.

Li Yisen asked in a deep voice.

"Do you want to live?"

"What do you want? How many people are here?"

"I'm asking you, not the other way around. Tell me everything about ICE, and your teammates' family situations. As the captain, you should know that pretty well."

Mark Gray tried to remain calm in his response.

"Don't waste your time, it's impossible."

"Is that so? I'd like to see if your teammates are just as stubborn."

Lee Ethan pressed a certain device, revealing the team members located on the other side of the soundproof glass.

The footage Mark Gray saw showed Ethan Lee chatting with his subordinates, followed by the subordinates' voices.

"I'll tell you everything, the captain has a family in California."

At this moment, Mark Gray's eyes widened. He couldn't believe his teammate had betrayed him. Of course, this was just Lee Ethan's voice imitation; he couldn't possibly extract such confidential information in such a short time.

A few hours later, this simple operation actually yielded some basic information, though its veracity was uncertain.

However, Lee Ethan didn't care, because these five people had a more direct use.

The protests continued the following evening, and Sheriff Henry Wright, one of the epicenters of the storm, was playing golf with Governor Iris Perry at Rancho Golf Course.

The entire golf course has over a hundred security personnel, and they are also equipped with heavy weapons.

It's not that the state government is exaggerating; they were recently intimidated by the Revitalization Association. Even though it's unlikely that the other side would use tanks to carry out another massacre in Los Angeles, it's better to be safe than sorry.

As soon as the governor, who was quite handsome in his youth, swung the baton, Henry Wright, who was standing nearby, triggered a passive ability to shower him with praise.

"As expected of Sister Iris, that was a great golf shot."

"It's not as good as before. It's definitely because of the work pressure. Henry, with the current wave of protests, are the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department confident in maintaining order? They just shot and killed four people not long ago."

Henry Wright personally helped his "older sister" put on her balls. The two are 15 years apart in age and have known each other for over 30 years. Their relationship is that of siblings in bed. Henry was able to be appointed as the county sheriff thanks to the help of this "adopted sister."

"Don't worry, Sister Iris. Killing a few troublemakers won't have much of an impact on the county police. They will still follow your instructions. But I'm not confident in dealing with those terrorists from the Revitalization Society, since they have heavy weapons."

Iris Perry hit another shot.

"As for the Revitalization Society, don't worry. With federal agencies investigating them, they can't cause any trouble. They only managed to assassinate him when that idiot Brett Bird was doing something disgusting. If the Revitalization Society dares to show its face in Los Angeles, I'll call in the National Guard to wipe them out."

"That puts my mind at ease. I will help my sister manage Los Angeles well."

Iris Perry mentioned a name.

"Ethan Lee, who is frequently mentioned by the protesters, what are you planning to do with him? I don't want the Chinese community to continue to woo this troublesome guy, especially since he's both a police officer and very popular."

The Chinese community in California numbers over 200 million, accounting for more than 30 to 40 percent of the total Chinese population in the United States. It has a higher level of cohesion than other states, having produced mayors multiple times, making it a force to be reckoned with.

California, in particular, has various hometown cliques and branches of the Hongmen. Although the younger generation has diminished the cohesion of the past, they are trying to learn from the Indian and Korean Americans and gain deeper involvement in the federal government.

Iris Perry doesn't want Chinese Americans to continue expanding their influence in California politics, since 7% of Chinese Americans support the Pearl Party, so wouldn't it be better to remain fragmented?

Henry Wright assured him.

"Don't worry, once things calm down, I'll find an excuse to kick him out. For now, it's just an indefinite leave of absence."

After the conversation ended, Henry Wright left the golf course escorted by nearly 10 security guards in three cars. This was an increase in security provided by the government in response to the open threats from the Revitalization Association.

After all, the police are a public resource, and it's impossible to mobilize a large number of police resources just because you're afraid of dying.

Raindrops suddenly fell from the sky, and the arrival of March proved that California had passed through its most troublesome winter.

"With electricity prices coming down, those peasants can finally have some peace and quiet for a few days."

As the convoy entered a section of bridge, a figure caught Henry Wright's attention. Was he crazy for not using an umbrella or wearing a raincoat in the rain?

Suddenly, the other party took out a rather large object, fiddled with it for a few moments, and then threw it at their car, a full 30 meters away.

"What is that? It looks like an anti-tank mine?"

Henry Wright's eyes widened instantly at the sight of the anti-tank mine.

The next second, the lead vehicle was blown into the air, and the impact of the explosion forced the two vehicles behind it to stop.

Henry Wright witnessed the aftershocks of the explosion shatter the windows of the car he was in, and shards of glass pierced the driver's face, causing him to scream in agony.

"Back off quickly, back off quickly!"

As Henry Wright screamed at the top of his lungs, a burst of gunfire suddenly erupted from behind.

The car behind was hit by heavy machine gun fire, crashed through the railing, and plunged into the river. Its B5-level bulletproof armor was completely ineffective.

To make matters worse, four masked men appeared and blocked the bridge.

The newcomers were none other than Ethan Lee and five controlled ICE agents. The remaining 14 points of mental energy were giving Ethan Lee a headache, but thankfully it was well worth the price.

Not only were four people surrounding the prey, but a monster with a body length of 1 meter and a wingspan of nearly 3 meters was also watching the scene from the sky. No police car dared to approach, so the monster fired a burst of bullets at them with a heavy machine gun, scaring the police away.

"Bang bang bang bang bang"

Let alone Ethan Lee, even four ICE agents armed with automatic weapons and wearing bulletproof vests would be no match for the two security guards in the car.

One of them even knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me! I have elderly parents and young children to support."

Lee Ethan didn't fire. He grabbed the man's thigh and threw him 10 meters before he plunged headfirst into the river, leaving only his last target, Henry Wright.

The young county police chief, in his forties, was so frightened that he trembled all over.

"Who are you, and what do you want?"

"Don't you know who we are?"

With a gun pointed at him, Henry Wright cried out in panic.

"Are you the Revitalization Society?"

"Yes, we told you not to interfere with America's freedom, but you refused to help the wicked, so we came to find you."

Henry Wright waved his hands frantically.

"Don't shoot, don't shoot! I can cooperate, I can talk to..."

"Bang"

Henry Wright was killed by a single bullet; Ethan Lee had no intention of letting him live.

With the business concluded, Lee Ethan looked at the other agents who were under control.

"Now that things are settled, whether you can become one of us depends on your own fate."

Soon, Lee Ethan took over the heavy machine gun and stayed behind, while the five agents handed over the cameras and went ahead to find the hidden Chevrolet car and leave. As for Lee Ethan himself, he jumped into the river and swam downstream.

Inside the Chevrolet, five agents awoke from their captivity, their eyes wide with terror.

They have some memories of the mission, as well as what Lee Ethan said before taking control.

"Next, you will be assessed as prospective members of the Revitalization Association."

Now, recalling Lee Ethan's words fills them with immense horror: he had participated in the mission to kill the Los Angeles County Sheriff, and the footage captured by cameras was in the hands of a terrorist organization.

"What should we do?"

Even on the battlefields of the Middle East, they were not this terrifying. Now, life and death are truly in the hands of the other side.

Agent Captain Mark Gray took a deep breath.

"Let's change back into our clothes first, and then we'll pretend we're still special ICE members heading out to provide support."

"We understand."

Soon after, the Chevrolet reappeared at the battle site on the bridge, and Mark Gray felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the wreckage and corpses.

This decapitation operation was brilliant. Killing them would have been so easy, and those people even possessed hypnotic abilities and held secrets about their lives.

Regardless of his inner thoughts, Mark Gray could only maintain a normal demeanor and look for the patrol officers who had arrived earlier.

"How is the situation?"

"According to the video, our county police officer was assassinated. The whole operation was so fast that even I was scared."

Just then, a large convoy arrived; it was Governor Iris Perry.

Mark Gray suddenly had a thought: what if the Revitalization Society controlled them to assassinate the governor at this time?
