Chapter 752 All Is Lost
Chul's eyebrows raised in surprise, and at that moment, it felt like he was going to lose his head. However, knowing that he had a gun, Chul's courage was reinstated. June took a deep breath, focusing on Chul. His years as a gangster had taught him how to deal with volatile situations, and now those skills were his beast weapon. He needed to disarm Chul swiftly and safely, ensuring no one got hurt.
The livestream continued bustling with wild comments, most of them still in disbelief that the nation's current most popular idol was at a crime scene. Meanwhile, June decided to break out his three-step rule in case bargaining didn't work. Step 1: Distraction. June's eyes darted around the room, quickly assessing his surroundings. He noticed a stack of medical trays on a nearby cart. With a swift motion, he kicked the cart, sending the trays to the ground. The bystanders screamed in shock. Meanwhile, the police officers outside sensed the chaos, and they didn't know what to do. "Do something!" Casper exclaimed.
Zeth held him back and patted his shoulder. "We need to act rationally, boy," the chief of police said. "We don't want to harm any other civilians." Casper turned to Zeth with pleading eyes. "He can't die," he muttered. "He really can't." Zeth sighed and continued patting Casper's back, not knowing what to say.
Meanwhile, the number of viewers in the livestream doubled, and it seemed like almost half of the nation was tuning in on the show. Even those in June's province watched what was happening with bated breaths. - Shit just got real. - I think June's got this.
- Wooh! Go June!
- The people who are acting like this is some kind of match are sick in the head. June let out a deep breath before proceeding to the second step. Step 2: Disarm
Seizing the moment of distraction, June moved with lightning speed. He closed the distance between himself and Chul in a single heartbeat. With a practiced maneuver, he grabbed Chul's wrist, twisting it with just the right amount of force. - Holy moly! The action is insane. - I can't believe June is doing this right now.
- Is it bad to say that I've become a fan now? - Goodness, people are really so insensitive!
- I think we're forgetting that June is quite skilled in martial arts. Remember that loser who tried to stab him? Didn't he also put up a good show back then?
- Yeah, but he also ended up getting stabbed. - Eyy, at least he's alive now, isn't he?
With June's fast actions, the gun slipped from Chul's grasp, flying through the air. And then, it was time for the final step. Step 3: Neutralize. Before Chul could react, June delivered a swift, precise kick to his chest, sending him sprawling to the ground. He followed up with a controlled strike to Chul's shoulder, ensuring he stayed down. The entire sequence of moves was executed with the skill of a trained fighter, a proof of June's past life.
The gun skidded across the floor, coming to a stop near a nurse June recognized.
Without hesitation, he kicked the gun towards her. "Hide it!" he commanded.
The nurse, eyes wide with shock and understanding, quickly grabbed the gun and concealed it. The police, alerted by the commotion, quickly rushed in and subdued Chul, pulling him to his feet and securing him in handcuffs.
- That ended so quickly. - The police couldn't even do that?
- Dang. My respect just went to greater heights. What can't June do? - He's fcking amazing. He just outdid the SWAT team. - Imagine being that talented. - June is truly a hero. "No! Let go! I need to finish that bitch!" Chul screamed, but the police officers had him properly subdued. Those waiting outside booed at Chul as he emerged, which added to his rage even more. Laohu, who was watching from his home, couldn't help but stand, finding the situation unreal. Lin Zhi, who was right by his side, also showed his disappointment. "They can't do anything right!" Laohu screamed, sending his mug flying into the air before landing on the wall and breaking into a million pieces. Meanwhile, as the situation sunk in, the room erupted into chaos. Reporters pushed forward, cameras flashed, and people began to cheer. They called June a hero, their voices adding to the volume of the chaos. Meanwhile, the members of EVE pushed through the crowd, trying to look for their center. However, they were quickly surrounded by fans, which made it a difficult task. June barely heard the chaos. His focus was entirely on his grandmother. He knelt beside her with a small smile, gently cradling her frail body in his arms. "Grandma, it's over. You're safe now," he whispered, his voice thick with emotion.
"Grandma?" "Grandma?" He called her twice, but she still wasn't responding. Something was wrong. Her eyes were closed, and her body felt unusually still. Panic gripped his heart as he continued calling out to her. "Grandma? Grandma, wake up!"
The surrounding chaos faded into the background as a cold dread settled over him. The police continued to manage the scene; the crowd's cheers rang out, but June's world narrowed down to the still figure in his arms.
"Why isn't she moving?" he muttered, his voice barely audible. His hands shook as he checked for a pulse, but he couldn't find one. "No, no, no," he whispered, his heart breaking.
Just then, the members of EVE arrived where June was, their faces filled with concern. However, they showed relief when they saw that June was okay. Yet, that relief quickly faded with June's next words. "She's not breathing," he muttered. A paramedic rushed over, gently taking his grandmother from his arms and beginning to perform CPR. June watched, his vision blurring with tears. He had saved everyone else, but now he felt utterly helpless.
Then, he felt his vision slowly going black. "June! June!" The world became nothing but a haze. Was this it? Was it finally his time? However, as he saw his grandma being pumped back to life, he couldn't bring himself to smile. Because even when he had saved everybody else, he couldn't save his grandma.
