Chapter 57: Consecutive Rewards
Cole paused for a moment
"What did you say?"
"I said the gunman fired again, and we should storm in for the sake of the eight lives inside."
Cole's face instantly darkened. Although he realized something was wrong after calming down, they had already waited for almost an hour, so what difference would a few more minutes make?
"I don't want to repeat myself, please wait."
"Your delays have directly resulted in casualties. Have you forgotten that you should respond immediately when you encounter an active gunman?"
Li Yisen didn't care. Anyway, he already had a good reason to refute the other party. He had been there for almost 20 minutes and felt that this guy was incredibly stupid.
Since that's the case, the reward for causing a large number of deaths and injuries is mine.
"Sir, I'm asking again, should we attack?"
Kerr finally snapped. He needed an expert to eliminate the target without casualties, so that his actions could still be somewhat justified and he wouldn't be contradicted by a mere foreign player, forcing him into a position of mismanagement.
"I said please wait, Officer Second Class. Didn't you learn to respect on-site command?"
"I've studied it, but I won't respect a wrong command."
"you."
Ignoring the other party's incompetent rage, Lee Ethan first openly reported the situation to the dispatch center, and after receiving approval, he looked at Evelyn.
"Is there a problem?"
"no."
Lee Esen looked at the other police officers.
"I'm going to form a commando team. Is anyone willing to join?"
"I'll do it."
"Me too."
Some people were already unhappy with the commander's incompetence, so they quickly assembled a five-person team. Some police officers tried to stop Li Yisen and his group, but were ruthlessly pushed aside.
Evelyn stood in front, shield in hand, prompting the male officer behind her to ask a question.
"How about I be the shield bearer?"
Evelyn shook her head.
"I'm fine."
"Oh well."
The squad quickly and quietly approached the door, with two shield bearers in front and three cover bearers behind, two armed with guns and one carrying a battering ram.
Lee Ethan focused intently on the sounds inside. Several breathing sounds, some faint and some heavy, were heard, one of which was coming from directly in front of the door. If he wasn't mistaken, the gunman was right in front of the door.
As the gesture was made, the operation began.
Coverman #3 picked up a hammer and smashed open the door, and both sides immediately saw each other's faces.
Lee Ethan pulled the trigger the instant he made eye contact with the gunman.
"Bang"
"Bang bang"
The gunman was killed before he could fire a single shot; all three shots hit him squarely in the head.
"Safety."
Apart from Evelyn, the other three were stunned; it was too accurate.
Five people rushed into the classroom and found a horrific scene inside, with many surviving children among the pile of corpses.
Li Yisen picked up the walkie-talkie.
"Please have paramedics come quickly."
Police and paramedics quickly rushed into the room to begin the rescue. Most of the police officers breathed a sigh of relief, except for Cole.
After finally managing to collect the bodies and send the injured away, Li Yisen was surrounded by reporters, who also had their own sources of information.
One of them was an acquaintance I had visited before, a reporter from KCBS-TV (CBS Los Angeles), a blonde beauty named Alice.
"Officer Ethan, it's good to see you. I heard you were the one who organized the assault team to kill the gunman, and instantly at that. Is that true?"
Lee Ethan nodded. Logically, he shouldn't have leaked the information, but he really hated Cole.
Alice pressed her advantage
"Why did they wait an hour before attacking?"
"Command has ordered us to wait."
"So, Officer Ethan, what do you think?"
"I personally feel that the commander failed in his duty."
Upon hearing this, the reporters instantly showed excitement. They had been waiting for these sensational topics, and they even had the titles ready: "Rookie Accuses Certain High-Ranking Officials of Incompetence and Dereliction of Duty."
"Could you tell us more about what's inside?"
Lee Ethan smiled.
"Please wait for the police station's announcement."
"Wait a moment"
Ultimately, the case resulted in 26 deaths, with a total of 18 injured people rescued. It was a major case that America could not ignore, given the sensitive location and the fact that a group of police officers had waited for an hour in vain.
Complaints against police officers surged across California, with many viewing officers who failed to provide assistance as accomplices, or at the very least, as committing child abuse.
On the way back in the police car, Li Yisen sat in the passenger seat with his eyes closed, resting. He had just received a special system message.
The first is dealing with today's shooting incident.

With an average physique of 24 points, Li Yisen felt his body was full of power, as if he could kill a black bear with one punch, but of course this was just an illusion.
The prize draws are all quite substantial. Aside from the practicality of expert-level combat skills, the top-notch helicopter piloting skills will definitely come in handy in the future.
After all, many of America's wealthy people fly helicopters, and he will definitely be able to fly a helicopter in the future.
Suddenly, a fragrant breeze wafted over him. When Li Yisen opened his eyes, he immediately met the gaze of the policewoman who had come closer. Their lips were only 10 centimeters apart.
The two stared at each other, and Evelyn sat back down, pretending to be calm.
"I thought there was a bug in your hair, but I was wrong."
Guess whether I believe it or not, the two of them pretended nothing had happened afterward.
As news about Ethan Lee re-aired, some people were happy to see it, while others were angry.
After the human trafficking scandal subsided, Eric, a member of the Frederick family and a tycoon in Clermont, finally turned his attention to Ethan.
