Super Detective in the Fictional World Chapter 147 - No Meeting, and SWAT Attack

Chapter 147 No Meeting, and SWAT Attack
The conference room was now a mess. The long desk that Luke and Jimena had used was riddled with bullet holes. A criminal lay on it, dead, and there was another body not far away.
Wow, John’s quite good! Luke chuckled inwardly.
His Sharp Nose had informed him that it was Detective John McClane who was inside.
He then heard Detective John speaking furiously into a walkie-talkie. “F*ck you! That’s right, I’m making fun of the police Why don’t you come and arrest me? I’m at Nakatomi Plaza.” The man probably didn’t have his cell phone on him.
Luke quite admired the harried, barefooted man in a ragged vest.
Detective John wasn’t Luke, who had a system and was far stronger than an ordinary person.
He was just a regular police officer, but he had the guts to go up against fifteen criminals.
But Luke didn’t think now was a good time to meet up with Detective John.
First of all, Detective John’s wife, the female manager named Gennero, was probably also a hostage.
Luke had learned this from his chat with Jimena earlier. She told Luke that Gennero had a husband who was a detective in New York.
So, if Luke were to make himself known now, wouldn’t he be obliged to tag along with John and save Ms. Gennero?
Secondly, Luke was an L.A. officer, but John wasn’t. If they worked together, it would mean that Luke endorsed John’s actions, and he might be held responsible for any mistakes John made.
Thirdly, Luke’s movements would be hampered if he was with Detective John.
So, it was better to stealthily help John wipe out the criminals! Thinking this, Luke was about to slip away.
However, John suddenly exclaimed excitedly, “Haha. They’re here, they’re finally here.”
A moment later, he complained disappointedly, “Really? Only one police car?”
But he soon moved into action. Luke observed Detective John with great interest, and applauded his ingenuity.
John smashed the window and threw down the body of one of the intruders he had killed.
It was impossible for the police officers to not see it.
With his keen ears, Luke even heard the body smash into a car.
There hadn’t been any cars parked in front of the building just now, so the only car the body could’ve fallen on had to be the police car that had just arrived.
Intense gunfire burst out. Luke shook his head, and knew that the police department would definitely take action.
Since he knew what the criminals were up to, Luke wasn’t in a hurry.
Also, John had already attracted the police’s attention, so Luke had to contact his boss, too.
Luke made a call on the roof of the building with his cell phone.
A moment later, Dustin said, “Dustin speaking.”
Luke said, “Boss, it’s Luke. I’m now at Nakatomi Plaza in the central district. There are about fifty armed criminals in this place. They have heavy firearms and more than fifty hostages. A police car just arrived, and someone threw a body down at it. What should I do, boss?”
After a brief silence, Dustin said, “Tell me everything you know about the criminals.”
Luke quickly explained everything, and Dustin grew excited. “Be careful while you’re inside. Hide and wait for my instructions.” He then hung up.
Luke knew that Dustin had to be reporting to the director.
This was taking place in the central district, which wasn’t Dustin’s territory.
However, Luke was at the scene of the crime, which gave Dustin an opportunity to intervene.
Luke enjoyed the cold breeze on the roof and felt bored as he waited for Dustin’s instructions.
Suddenly, the door behind him creaked.
Luke immediately plastered himself to the wall and took a deep breath. He smelled three people, and… C4?
These were true professionals!
Luke silently drew out his Glock 23.
There were hasty footsteps, and the door opened as three people emerged on the roof.
They were in a hurry and had their guards down.
After all, their compatriots were hunting down Detective John, and he couldn’t have run to the roof.
Calmly, Luke aimed at them without any hesitation.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
He was only two meters away from them, and they were unprepared. He hit them in the back of their heads like a kid shooting at balloons.
Luke listened carefully to make sure that nobody else was coming, before he examined the dead men’s equipment.
Besides the C4, there were detonators, ropes and wires.
Eventually, Luke picked up a UMP and its magazines. As for the C4, he casually tossed it down into the square at the bottom of the building
If the criminals wanted it, they could go downstairs and pick it up themselves.
Luke was about to go down, when he saw several police cars arrive. Several floodlights were then focused on the building.
He stopped and noticed a SWAT team.
Luke didn’t know what to say – the team only had eight soldiers. There were fifty armed criminals in the building, and the officers were going to charge in when they were so outnumbered?
But there was nothing Luke could do.
Alert them by firing his weapon? The officers weren’t cowards. They would only close in on the building even more quickly to take cover.
Call them? There wasn’t any time.
If the SWAT team had waited a while longer, they would have gotten Dustin’s intelligence.
However, their commander was too hasty, which had given Dustin little time to relay to them the information he had just learned.
Luke watched helplessly as the SWAT team disappeared into the building.
As he expected, intense gunfire rang out a moment later, mixed with screams. It was clear that the SWAT team had been ambushed.
Luke didn’t know what to say. Dustin hadn’t given him any instructions. He couldn’t do anything
However capable he was, he didn’t have the power to command officers of a different district.
Even Dustin couldn’t have expected them to follow his commands.
A moment later, a light armored car drove up.
Luke’s eyes lit up. LAPD was truly rich if they could afford such a vehicle. Most criminals couldn’t do anything to armored cars.
However, what happened in the next moment stunned Luke.
With a whoosh, a streak of fire shot out from the second floor of the building.
BOOM!
The armored car, which had been climbing the steps, was hit by an RPG.
“F*ck!” Luke couldn’t help but curse out loud
