Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The SWAT team leader led a group of people back to the command center of the bank.
All the media were waiting for the police to catch the robber.
The SWAT team leader’s eye-catching anti-riot vehicle quickly attracted everyone’s attention.
Countless cameras and microphones were pointed at the SWAT team leader.
They were ready to receive first-hand explosive information at any time.
After all…
This drill wasn’t just for New York City but had shocked the entire United States.
This robber was already very strong.
It wasn’t easy for him to last this long with the police.
Neither the police nor the hostages were the most popular thing on the internet right now.
It was Jon, who played like a real robber!
Many people had become Jon’s fans spontaneously.
There were also many models and agencies waiting to contact him.
Now, they not only wanted to get an interview with the sheriff and the SWAT team leader, they wanted an exclusive interview with Jon, too.
Whoever could get this hot topic meant that money and status in his company were at his fingertips.
Everyone’s eyes were shining green.
No one would want to miss such fat.
Just as everyone was waiting for the robber, Jon, to get out of the car, only the SWAT team leader got out of the car and walked directly to the sheriff’s command room.
Many of the waiting media were dumbfounded.
Why did he just ignore them?
They were still waiting for the news?!
The SWAT team leader couldn’t say anything either.
He did not think Jon is not on the escape car and Jon was actually let go by the sheriff himself.
This caused his blood pressure to soar.
Even the reporter’s interview was not accepted at all, and he came directly to the sheriff to discuss countermeasures.
“Sheriff, what shall we do now?”
The SWAT team leader naturally set his eyes on the commander-in-chief of the police force.
Jon had escaped and now he was the most anxious one.
“What can I do? I can only tell the truth.”
The sheriff hung his head in frustration.
The biggest problem now was the group of media waiting for big news outside.
And now he had become the “big news”.
The sheriff smiled wryly as he had to face this fact.
Even if the robber, Jon, had escaped the police’s encirclement, it didn’t mean that there was no remedy.
Now he had to bear the consequences of his actions alone.
He took a deep breath.
Under the encouraging eyes of the surrounding police officers, he walked out from the door of temporary command room.
After the mass media outside saw that the police had made a move, they quickly pointed their microphones and cameras at the sheriff.
Before he could speak, countless reporters had already raised their questions.
“Sheriff, has the police taken control of the robber, Jon?”
“Sheriff, according to the footage from our helicopter, the car that the police stopped did not find the robber, Jon. Is this true?”
“Sheriff, if Jon has not been arrested and brought to justice, then where is he now?”
Faced with the police’s hesitant attitude, no matter how stupid the media was, they knew that there was a problem with this arrest!
As a result, countless speculations appeared on the internet.
Some said that the police hadn’t found Jon at all and were currently considering how to catch Jon who was escaping.
Others said that the robber, Jon, was still in the bank. He had only dug a secret passage to hide inside, and had even escaped outside.
Some also said that Jon had actually been arrested at that time. But he was arrested because he felt that the game was boring.
There was even said that Jon had played too seriously, which led to firing at the opponent and was shot dead by the police.
A lot of theories appeared on the internet.
The media also took the opportunity to launch a vote on the internet.
According to the statistics of half an hour, the probability of supporting Jon not being arrested was over 90%.
This meant that all the netizens were reluctant to part with this cat-and-mouse game.
They hadn’t seen such a wonderful bank exercise for a long time.
Whether it was a few consecutive reversals in the bank or Jon’s excellent mentality, they were amuzed.
If this was made into a movie and Jon were the protagonist, it would have a huge box office.
A real-life movie based on real people with Jon as the tough guy.
This was one of the craziest movies ever made.
Everyone was waiting for the sheriff to announce the results of the drill.
All media that could be reached in New York City had their radios ready.
They were waiting for the sheriff’s answer.
The sheriff saw everyone asking questions one by one and the sheriff couldn’t answer.
He could only wait until all the reporters calmed down and said the words that made the media on the scene crazy.
“Yes, Jon ran away!”
It was only four words.
At this moment, through the live broadcast, it was transmitted to New York, Chicago, Washington, and all the audience who was watching the live broadcast.
When they heard that Jon was not arrested, they were even happier than Jon.
The internet was even filled with cheers.
“Jon is still alive.”
This news was immediately pushed to the top of Twitter.
Countless people were rejoicing for the robber, Jon.
The media, on the other hand, would certainly not be satisfied with these words.
They needed more details.
For example, the opportunity to rescue the hostages to lure the police to attack.
Including how the robber, Jon, used the explosion to attract everyone’s attention.
He wore the SWAT uniform to sneak into the police force and deceive the sheriff.
These details were revealed one by one.
Even the reporter who was taking photos at the SWAT shouted when he saw the photos he had taken.
“This time he took a frontal photo of the robber, Jon!”
It was the only one in New York.
This photo was instantly offered at five figures in order for Jon to appear in their newspaper as soon as possible.
As the press continued to bid, the price went up.
It was just a photo taken on a whim and The Sun took it for six figures.
It set a new record for The Sun’s own news material but it was all worth it.
The Sun, who bought the photos, imagined when everyone had a copy of The Sun.
The investment was worthy.
When more details were revealed, the netizens were also shocked and excited.
Who would think that the lobby manager, Sunny, would put on robber’s clothes.
He use explosions as bait to trick the police into attacking.
When the police force was empty, he wore the SWAT uniform and swaggered out of the encirclement in front of all the police officers.
All this was too imaginative.
Not only they didn’t blame the police for their mistakes, they even wanted to continue watching the TV series.
