“Okay. I promise you,” responded Harry with a nod.
Three-handed then intentionally lowered his voice. “To tell you the truth, the people who asked me to do it...”
The second Harry leaned in to hear him better, Three-handed shouted to everybody in the building, “Run,
everyone! The police are here!”
Immediately, the casino was thrown into complete chaos, and the people inside scrambled like rats.
To the gamblers, there was nothing worse than getting caught in a casino.
Even though Three-handed tried to make a break for it amidst the chaos, Harry remained calm, for he had
anticipated the man to try something like that.
“Guard the exits and make sure nobody leaves this building without my say-so,” commanded Harry.
With that, the five police officers Harry brought with him quickly removed their casual wear to reveal their uniforms
underneath.
All those at the scene who saw the uniforms immediately turned pale.
When the crowd heard Three-handed, they knew that they had to get to the main exit as quickly as possible, but
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthey never expected to find the law enforcers standing in their way.
Anxious, they then hurriedly tried to find another out.
Naturally, some of them even attempted to run past the officers.
However, all who tried eventually learned that it was unwise to do so. The police officers kicked anyone who got too
close to them.
After realizing that it was impossible to get out through the main exit, the crowd hurried to the east door, only to
find it blocked by a policeman as well.
They then moved to the west door and were blocked by yet another police officer.
In the end, the gamblers lost all hope of getting away scot-free, for they were sure that the law enforcers had
blocked all exits.
After looking around, they discovered, to their dismay, that their assumption was correct.
The crowd had no choice but to accept the reality that they were trapped like a moth in a bath.
“Listen up! All of you! I'm not here to apprehend gamblers; I'm only here for Three-handed,” announced Harry. “All
you have to do is get me the man, and I'll let you go.”
Suddenly, the desperate gamblers saw a glimmer of hope.
“Do you really mean it, Officer Hudson?” inquired someone in the crowd.
“Of course! I swear on my life! You have my word,” promised Harry.
Good! Immediately, the gamblers began to search for Three-handed.
“Where is he? If you know what's good for you, Three-handed, you better show yourself now!”
“This is your casino. You have to be responsible for our safety!”
“Yeah! Either you surrender yourself willingly, or we'll drag you out!”
Faced with such a large crowd, Three-handed had no choice but to reveal himself with a hardened face.
“I've got to say, Harry. I'm impressed. Now that I've shown myself, let these people go this instant,” ordered Three-
handed.
“You're not bad yourself,” scoffed Harry before turning to the other police officers. “Let them leave.”
As soon as the law enforcers stepped aside, the crowd hurried out of the building as though their lives depended on
it.
In the end, only four men loyal to Three-handed stayed by his side.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I knew I was right to put my trust in you four. You didn't let me down, and for that, I'll make sure you're
handsomely rewarded,” promised Three-handed after giving his men a look of gratitude. “However, you won't be of
any help even if you stay. There's no need to throw your life away in vain; live to fight another day. Remember,
you're all my legacy.”
Still, the men refused to leave Three-handed's side.
“No, we won't abandon you, Mr. Three!”
“That's right. We're blood brothers, remember? We've sworn to never leave one another no matter how bad the
situation gets.”
“Even if you tell us that you won't blame us for leaving, we wouldn't be able to live with ourselves.”
Three-handed was so moved by those men's words that he almost cried. “Okay then. We'll stick together to the
very end. Don't worry. Even if I have to sacrifice myself, I won't let any harm befall any one of you!”
Then, the brawny man shifted his attention to Harry. “What do you want with me? Let's get this over with.”
“It's simple, really. I just need you to give me the name of the mastermind,” explained Harry.
“You don't know what you're asking for, Harry. Trust me when I tell you that you're biting off more than you can
chew,” warned Three-handed sternly.
