Chapter 12

“Forget it, Little Olivia, Little Henry, stop arguing! Little James, go bring him to the car, we’re heading back to the station.” Captain Captain Thompson, unable to stand the two deputy captains quarreling in the street, interrupted them with a headache.

As soon as the captain spoke, Olivia Summers and Henry Young both fell silent. Before transferring to the police, Captain Thompson had been the Sanda champion in the armed police force, and after joining the city criminal police squad, he had achieved countless merits. Although Summers and Young were both from privileged backgrounds, they still greatly respected Captain Thompson, who had risen through true ability.

“Captain Thompson, come take a look, this guy says his shoulder was dislocated by him!” Over by the car, Little James, who was preparing to escort the thief, suddenly pointed at James Bolton, who was about to leave, and called out.

“Alright! I knew this guy was no good, come with me to the station!” Hearing Little James’s words, Henry Young thought the thief was just retaliating against James Bolton by lying, but still went over to grab James Bolton and prepare to take him to the police car.

James Bolton felt someone grab him, and his body instinctively jerked, causing Henry Young to stumble.

Actually, Henry Young did have some real skills, but he hadn’t expected James Bolton to fight back. Now, in front of his superior, subordinates, and the beautiful Miss Summers he was pursuing, he’d been embarrassed by an ordinary guy.

Of course, Henry Young felt he’d been hit not physically, but mentally!

Henry Young immediately tried to use a grappling move to dislocate James Bolton’s arm, to avenge his humiliation! Seeing Henry Young attack so ruthlessly, James Bolton frowned deeply and no longer cared whether the other was a police officer.

Ever since obtaining the energy exchange device, James Bolton had told himself never to live humbly again: if people don’t mess with me, I won’t mess with them; if they do, I’ll pay them back tenfold, a hundredfold!

James Bolton knew that since the other was a police officer, maybe even a captain, he must have some skills, so he didn’t dare be careless and went all out! Since his combat power reached 10, James Bolton hadn’t really tested his skills. Earlier, dealing with Black Panther and his gang was just a few punches—no pressure at all! Now, with a chance to try, he certainly wouldn’t hold back.

James Bolton threw a punch with lightning speed, the air whistling as his fist cut through! The people nearby all felt a chill in their hearts!

Seeing James Bolton’s punch coming, the confident Henry Young switched from grappling to punching, ready to go head-to-head!

There was a “crack”—the sound of bone breaking—followed by a scream: “Ah!!!” The first was the bone, the second was Henry Young’s wail.

Henry Young’s face was covered in sweat, with a trace of lingering fear! He never imagined he’d have his arm broken by a single punch!

At this moment, the stunned Captain Thompson and Olivia Summers finally snapped out of it. “Enough! Young man, even though Little Henry was in the wrong, did you have to be so harsh?” said Captain Thompson.

Although Captain Thompson disapproved of Henry Young’s actions, his military background made him protective of his own. No matter what, Henry Young was his subordinate, and having someone break his arm right in front of him was a loss of face!

James Bolton didn’t answer. He hadn’t expected Henry Young to be so weak! Nor had he expected that after his combat power reached 10, his strength had increased so much!

He’d only meant to teach Henry Young a lesson, but had misjudged his own strength. Was he supposed to tell everyone he didn’t know his own power?

“Captain Thompson, let it go. James Bolton didn’t mean it, and besides, Henry Young brought it on himself by being so prideful!” Olivia Summers, worried that James Bolton would suffer, quickly tried to mediate.

Seeing Olivia Summers speak up, Captain Thompson didn’t want to embarrass her, so he frowned and said, “Don’t worry, both sides are responsible for what happened today. But Henry Young is still my man. As long as you fight me, win or lose, you can leave!”

“Captain Thompson, you were the Sanda king in the army!” Olivia Summers said anxiously, signaling to James Bolton not to agree!

“This girl is pretty nice!” James Bolton felt a touch of gratitude seeing Olivia Summers, whom he’d just met, speak up for him.

“Alright, there are too many people here. There’s a park over there, let’s go.” Pretending not to see Olivia Summers’s signals, James Bolton strode toward the park.

Seeing James Bolton’s decisive manner, a trace of admiration flashed in Captain Thompson’s eyes. He signaled to Little James to help Henry Young up, and followed James Bolton toward the park.

Seeing both men ignore her, Olivia Summers stomped her foot and hurried after them.

“Captain Young, let me take you to the hospital!”

Enduring the pain, Henry Young said, “No hospital, help me follow them!” He really wanted to see James Bolton beaten to the ground by Captain Thompson, so he refused to leave. Little James had no choice but to help Henry Young follow after James Bolton and the others.

They arrived at the spot in the park where James Bolton had practiced boxing last time. Seeing no one around, James Bolton stopped, activated the scanning system, and glanced back at Captain Thompson: “George Thompson, stamina 12, mental strength 8, combat power 9.”

Seeing these stats, James Bolton relaxed—his opponent’s combat power was lower than his own!

Captain Thompson saw James Bolton’s relaxed expression and felt a surge of anger. This kid actually dares to look down on me!

“Let’s start now!” Captain Thompson took off his police uniform, loosened up, and assumed a military boxing stance.

“Alright!”

Although Captain Thompson was older, he wasn’t slow. As soon as James Bolton finished speaking, he rushed forward, his fists raining down like a storm.
