Chapter 408: Totally Dumbfounded
All the officers present looked at the guy who had spoken, wondering if he was taking them for a fool. If there was a glass apparition that was separating them from the suspect, they would have already noticed it.
How difficult was it for them to be able to notice something like that? And according to the hotel staff, this person only came here a few days. And so far, they had not seen him bringing in any form of material other than the small luggage that he came with.
Of course, it was impossible for something as huge as a glass that was capable of separating the entire living room to be able to fit in the luggage that he carried.
Additionally, the moment that they came in, they noticed that the suspect was moving. It was clear to them that he had just come from the door.
It was due to that that they did not believe that there was any possibility that there was anything that separated them from the suspect. So, they all looked at the guy that had spoken, wanting to beat him up.
But thinking about what they were here to do, they all decided not to focus on that. Instead, another person immediately stepped forward, wanting to apprehend Jaden.
It was just that after he arrived close to Jaden, he experienced the same thing as the first person. It was as if there was an invisible wall that was separating him and Jaden.
The guy was completely flabbergasted. He looked around, while stretching his hand again and again, trying to find if what he was feeling was true.
He tried knocking, only to realize that there was no sound that came out of the invisible wall in front of them. Completely helpless, he turned around and faced the leader as he said, "It is true. There is definitely something that is blocking us from reaching the suspect. And I do believe that it is definitely a glass wall."
His words immediately rendered the others speechless. They had thought that only a single person had gone insane, but it seemed that these two were in this together.
They just wondered why it was that they had not noticed something like this. How had these two gone insane while under their watch?
Regardless of what they were thinking, two others immediately headed towards Jaden. They understood that they could no longer waste any more time, and had to apprehend the suspect first.
Yes, there was a possibility that this suspect did not make any mistake, and was only mistaken for the real criminal, but even then, it was their duty to get him to the station.
And since that was the case, they did not really want to take any more time here. They still had other suspects that they were required to deal with. And, there were always several occasions that they were informed of other suspects in the same area that they would be in.
But the moment that they tried to get even closer to Jaden, they realized that there really was something that was blocking them.
This immediately made them change their expressions. Currently, the four of them had approached Jaden from four different directions. But even then, they failed to reach him.
It was currently clear to them that there was definitely something that was surrounding Jaden, preventing them from getting to him. Continue reading at empire
One of them immediately aimed his gun at Jaden. As for the others, they finally understood that it was not that the others had gone insane, but it was just that something had really happened. There was definitely something that was blocking the path of those officers from reaching Jaden.
Bang!
The sound of the gunshot was heard within the room. Even the leader of the operation had not anticipated that one of those four that had gone to apprehend the suspect was actually going to fire a bullet.
Even though the bullet was not directly aimed at the suspect, there was always a possibility that something might occur. If the suspect ended up dying, and they ended up confirming that the suspect was not a criminal, then things would definitely get complicated.
Additionally, this was a hotel. This was a public place, and many of the people here were obviously here to rest or to enjoy themselves. And with the gunshot going off right now, it was definitely going to alarm the people within the building.
But just as he was thinking about reprimanding that officer that had used the gun, he was completely flabbergasted by what happened next. Since they believed that there was something like a glass that was blocking them from reaching Jaden, they had anticipated that it would shatter the moment that the bullet hit it.
And even if it was bulletproof, it would definitely have some form of impact, and they would be able to see the cracks on the surface.
But would they saw was completely different. First of all, there was no any other sound after the sound of the gunshot. That was to be expected, considering that the gunshot was extremely loud.
But instead of something cracking under the pressure and power of the bullet, nothing actually happened. The bullet remained suspended in the air, as if there was an invisible force that was holding it there.
It was not spinning at all, completely motionless. This was the very first time that they had encountered something like this.
Jaden on the other hand thought that he had already wasted enough time with this group of people. So, he allowed the bullet to drop down. Yes, he had used his telekinesis ability in order to stop the bullet.
Tink! Tink!
As the bullet dropped onto the ground, producing a sound, Jaden spoke, "I want you guys to leave. Tell your superiors that they should use the mutants to try and get information about other things that are about to happen, instead of bothering with something like this."
Just while the group of officers were confused about what Jaden was trying to imply, they immediately felt that there was a force that was wrapped around them.
Of course, they tried to resist, but they found out that it was impossible to resist. That force was invisible, and was extremely powerful.
They just helplessly watched with incredulous gases as they were pushed out of the door of the suite. Then, the door was immediately closed after they had gone out.
The group of officers managed to get back on their feet from the corridor where they were piled up. Currently, they noticed that the hotel was in chaos. That was something that was to be expected considering that a gunshot had just gone off.
As for John and the others, after they heard the sound of the gunshot, they immediately came out of their own respective suites. Of course, they knew the direction that the sound had come from, and they knew that it was in that direction that Jaden was in.
Even if the sound of the gunshot did not directly come from Jaden's suite, it was definitely close by. And if there was someone with a gun within the hotel, then things were going to be dangerous.
Of course, John was not that much worried about Jaden. He understood that Jaden was a mutant. But, there was a little uncertainty about Jaden being able to handle a bullet.
But when they came out, they realized that there was a group of members of the special police force that was piled up in the corridor. And currently, they were struggling to get up.
They could see that none of them was currently injured. But even then, from the way that they were moving, it was as if they had just undergone some form of beating.
On the other hand, after pushing the group outside, Jaden decided not to pay much attention to them. Instead, he decided to continue focusing on using the money that had already been gathered by the AI.
Since it seemed that mutants had already been involved in this matter, there was a possibility that after those guys went away, the mutants would be involved again.
And in that situation, there was a possibility that the money in his account might be transferred from his account. After all, nobody could tell the kind of abilities that the mutants from the government possessed.
Of course, Jaden was not willing to lose the money that he had just acquired. So, the best way of dealing with the money was not transferring the money from one account to another, but instead, it was for him to use the money immediately.
That way, even if they came to use their abilities in order to try and transfer the money from his account to another one, they would find that there was no money in that account. As for taking the money back from the system, that was obviously an impossibility.
….
The leader of the special police force looked at the door that was currently closed and hesitated for a moment. At this point, he already understood. The person that they were dealing with was definitely not normal.
It was no wonder that this person was capable of stealing money all over the world in just a little over one day. And from the way that he had pushed them out of the room, it was clearly not something that could be done by technology.
Thinking of that, he immediately decided that they were going to report this situation to the higher ups. They could not handle this guy. They would have to leave this guy to others that were capable of doing that.
