I revived the Demonic Sect in North America

"I'll say it again, release the boy you're holding immediately, or I'll shoot!"

Rex froze and looked up.

At the entrance to the corridor stood a policewoman with cold, sharp eyes that seemed to hold murderous intent.

She was wearing a tactical vest stained with dried blood and holding a Glock pistol in one hand.

The gun was steadily aimed at the center of his torso.

Lexie immediately recognized the policewoman.

This is Constable Karen Jackson of the Bronx Precinct.

Rex had a history of being in and out of the police station multiple times due to various criminal records.

I also have some impression of the young policewoman in this jurisdiction who is known for being meticulous, rigid, and doing everything according to the manual.

In his eyes, such a stubborn policeman was an idiot, brain-dead, a hypocrite, and very easy to deal with.

In light of this, Rex felt a sense of relief and even wanted to laugh a little.

He immediately raised his hands, forcing a wronged yet defiant expression on his face, and shouted loudly:

"Hey! Officer Jackson! I haven't done anything wrong, and you're pointing a gun at me and saying you're going to shoot... Is that appropriate? Which rule in the NYPD manual allows you to point a gun at an unarmed New York citizen like that? Isn't that intimidation? Abuse of force? I'm going to see my lawyer! I'm going to file a complaint against you!"

"Bang!"

Gunshots rang out without warning, deafeningly loud in the closed corridors of the hospital.

Rex felt a searing pain in his right arm, as if it had been pierced by a red-hot iron rod!

He screamed in pain, the strength that had been holding Li Ang vanished instantly, and he involuntarily let go.

Li Ang suddenly fell to the ground and coughed violently.

Rex clutched his bleeding right arm, staring at Karen in disbelief, his eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.

This brain-damaged, saintly policewoman...

She actually fired a shot?!

They just shot him right through the arm?!

Isn't she cerebral palsy?

Isn't he an idiot?

Didn't you love sticking to the rules the most?

Even if someone commits a crime, according to the system, shouldn't they be given multiple warnings first, and at most, should a Taser be used?

What the hell is this "shoot directly"?!

Isn't she afraid of an internal investigation?

Aren't you afraid of being suspended?

Rex, wracked with pain and rage, roared fiercely:

"Gadang! You...you're fucking insane?! You actually fired a gun?!"

Karen lowered the muzzle of her gun slightly, still pointing it at him, her voice even colder than before:

"I warned you. Now, get down. Immediately."

Rex looked into Karen's eyes.

There was absolutely no hesitation or wavering involved.

Instead, it was overflowing with the pure and cold killing intent that he was familiar with.

This woman is serious!

She really will kill herself!

This is absolutely not a bluff!

This clear realization instantly chilled Rex to the bone.

Fear instantly overwhelmed the pain and anger.

Rex's legs went weak, and he almost actually knelt down, but he still stubbornly tried to put on a show:

"No...you can't do this! I was just playing around with this Chinese kid, what did I do wrong? Even if I really did something wrong, at most you could only use a stun gun to paralyze me, who gave you the right to fire! I'm going to file a complaint against you! You've completely violated..."

Karen's gun twitched almost imperceptibly when Lexie mentioned Leon.

Her gaze swept quickly across the ground.

They saw Li Ang curled up on the ground, covered in wounds, bleeding profusely.

A surge of rage, even more intense and uncontrollable than before, rushed to Karen's head.

The last trace of hesitation vanished from her usually calm and composed blue eyes.

Instead, a cold and ruthless flame appeared.

The next second, Karen's finger pulled the trigger again!

"Bang!"

Another gunshot rang out in the corridor.

The bullet struck Rex's already injured and bleeding right arm with pinpoint accuracy.

The ball hit near the biceps brachii.

The immense impact caused his arm to swing violently backward, spurting blood even further.

The pain was far greater than before.

It felt as if all the bones in his arm had been shattered.

A burning pain shot straight to my brain.

"Ah—!!! My hand! My hand!!!"

Rex let out a piercing, inhuman scream.

He collapsed to the ground, clutching his arms, writhing and convulsing wildly like a fish thrown ashore.

Snot, tears, and sweat smeared all over his face, and the bit of bravado and scheming he had just put on completely vanished without a trace.

An overwhelming fear, like ice water, instantly overwhelmed the pain and anger, leaving only the most primal fear of death and further harm.

He was utterly terrified this time!

This policewoman is not the Karen Jackson I know at all!

She's crazy!

She's a devil in Karen's disguise!

The way she looked at me was like she was looking at a mad dog that should be beaten to death on the spot!

"No...please don't shoot! I was wrong! I was really wrong! I'll lie down! I'll lie down right now! Please don't shoot anymore!!"

Rex cried out, desperately trying to roll over and lie flat on his stomach with his still-functioning left hand and knee.

However, due to the severe pain in his right arm and blood loss, his movements were clumsy and awkward.

He never dared to mention lawyers, complaints, or police manuals again.

All he wants now is to survive.

Karen took a sudden step forward, raised the gun, and pressed it directly against Rex's forehead!

The cold, metallic touch made the hairs on his body stand on end.

"You! Deserve! To! Die!"

Karen spoke slowly and deliberately, her finger tightening slightly on the trigger.

Rex was completely terrified.

He could feel the breath of death enveloping him.

"Bang!"

Gunshots rang out again.

"ah!!!"

Rex let out a deafening scream.

However, the expected bullet impact and deathly darkness did not arrive.

It turned out that Li Ang, who had been curled up on the ground, had suddenly found the strength.

Suddenly, he lunged forward and slammed his shoulder into Karen's gun-wielding arm!

The bullet grazed Rex's scalp and struck the wall behind him, sending up a spray of debris.

Karen was knocked off balance.

She steadied herself, looked at Li Ang with a mixture of shock and anger, and said sharply:

"Li Ang! What are you doing?! Why won't you let me kill this scum?!"

Li Ang clutched his abdomen, his face deathly pale, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

He gasped for breath and said with difficulty:

"No, you can't kill him now... Killing him will get you into big trouble... It's not worth it..."

Karen looked at Li Ang's weak yet persistent appearance, and the rage in her chest almost exploded.

Having lived a life of conformity, she knew all too well that even criminal suspects with irrefutable evidence and a long list of crimes must have their right to life protected.

This is because New York State is one of the 23 states in the United States that have abolished the death penalty.

The most severe punishment a criminal can receive is a prison sentence of several hundred years.

If Karen were to use lynching to kill Lexie, she would face enormous trouble.

However, Karen didn't care about any of that after seeing Leon's miserable state.

She just wanted to help Li Ang get justice.
