Chapter 1693: Creating Panic

Chapter 1693: Creating Panic

Joyce listened and just smiled, neither denying nor confirming it.

At that moment, a special police officer exclaimed in shock, “It seems to

be true! But why would the warlord's generalissimo appear in Khebury?

She should be in the Capital.”

The leading special police officer looked at Joyce with suspicion, not

daring to admit it, but also not daring to deny it. If she truly was the

generalissimo, they couldn't afford to be disrespectful or negligent.

Reuben lifted Kiki out from under the table and walked to Joyce's side,

saying, "You didn't see wrong. She is the warlord's generalissimo. Just

think about it, besides her, who in Pascaylia could have such

extraordinary marksmanship?"

He glared at the leading special police officer and said, "Return the

generalissimo's personal firearms to her!"

The leading special police officer hesitated.

If they didn't return them, they might face charges.

If they returned them, they might be deemed negligent.

Since Joyce couldn't hide her identity any longer, she took out her

identification from her pocket and presented it to the special police

officer in front of her, the shining golden seven-pointed star blinding to

the eye.

The leading special police officer quickly saluted respectfully,

"Generalissimo, I offended earlier."

He quickly signaled to the side.

The other special police officers promptly returned Joyce's gun and

spinning dart with both hands.

Joyce didn't refuse and accepted the self-defense items, putting them

away by herself.

Then she calmly spoke, “I will go to the police station to make a

statement and then I'll leave.”

“Thank you for your cooperation. We can also send someone to your

place to record the statement and have you sign it," the leading special

police officer respectfully suggested.

“It's fine. I'll make the trip. No need to trouble anyone," Joyce waved

her hand.

“I'll go with her,” Reuben leaned over. “I had the clearest view of the

entire process.”

The others in the ice cream shop whispered among themselves. "So, it

was the generalissimo who happened to be present. No wonder her

marksmanship was so incredible. No wonder she was so calm.”

“Yes, no wonder she refused to put down her gun when the little girl

was held hostage. She had absolute confidence in her marksmanship.

She almost ruined everything. The generalissimo's child is no less

precious than hers. Shame on her."

“I didn't know...," the little girl's mother lowered her head in shame and

dared not look up in front of everyone's eyes.

With the help of others, the mother of the little boy, who had been

unconscious, had already regained consciousness. She still had weak

legs and knelt on the ground, holding her child. She heard the whole

process and repeatedly expressed her gratitude to Joyce.

Joyce turned her head and walked over, supporting the woman by

bending down. "No need to thank me. My child was also present. It was

my duty to protect everyone from danger.”

Kiki slid down from Reuben's arms at this moment and pounced directly

at Anderson.

"Andres, I was so scared,” she cried, her body trembling and tears

flowing. She was still shaken and terrified.

Anderson watched as Kiki was about to throw herself into her arms and

quickly moved aside. Kiki missed and almost fell to the ground, but

Reuben caught her.

Kiki grabbed Anderson's arm. "Andres, weren't you scared either?"

Anderson had experienced something more terrifying and horrifying,

being kidnapped, isolated and helpless, almost being thrown off the

rooftop of a parking lot by that evil woman, his life hanging by a thread.

That was true fear. Now, with his mother by his side, facing the

criminals, he didn't feel scared at all.

"What is there to be scared of! Coward!" Anderson pouted, not wanting

to pay attention to Kiki.

Reuben's admiring gaze stayed on Anderson. "Your name is Andres?"

He had seen the whole process clearly. Although Anderson hid behind

Joyce, his young face showed no signs of fear. For a four-year-old child

to remain so calm was truly remarkable.

Anderson nodded.

"Young man, you were calm in the face of danger. You're amazing.

You've truly inherited your mother's spirit," Reuben praised.

Anderson shrugged and didn't pay any further attention to them. He

pushed Kiki away and ran to Joyce's side. "Mommy, when are we going

back?"

Joyce ruffled Anderson's hair. "Did Andres get scared? It's all over now.

We can't leave yet. Mommy needs to go to the police station to give a

statement. We can leave once it's done.”

When everything was over, she would have time to comfort Anderson.

Anderson shook his head. "I'm not scared with Mommy around.”

At this time, several police carsand ambulances had already parked in

front of the ice cream shop.

The special police officers had already taken the criminals into custody

and were now in charge of evacuating the others. The injured

individuals were all being taken into the ambulances.

The leading special police officer approached Joyce, bowing

respectfully. "Generalissimo, please come with us. I apologize for any

offense caused.”

Joyce, along with Anderson, Reuben, and an employee from the ice

cream shop, followed the police cars to Division Four.

On the way, Joyce dialed Darrin's number.

"Hello, something happened in the city today. I'm going to Division

Four. You should come too."

Darrin’s voice on the phone sounded somewhat shocked. “I just heard

the news report. There was a shooting incident in the city center, and

the jewelry store was robbed. Could it be... related to you? Did you fire

the gun?"

Joyce replied, "Yes, it was me. Unfortunately, I ran into it, but

everything has been resolved. Don't worry."

Darrin blamed himself, “It's my fault. I didn't follow you today, and

something happened. I was careless.”

“It's okay. I can handle it. Don't blame yourself," Joyce pondered for a

moment. "I just find it strange. Khebury hasn't had such a vicious

incident of street robbery in many years. And the criminals had three

guns, which is unusual. I have a feeling that it's not just a regular

criminal case. Investigate secretly.”

"Alright, Generalissimo, I'll be there right away," Darrin said before

hanging up the phone.

Joyce and Anderson rode in one car, while the others were not in the

car. That's why she had asked Darrin to investigate. Those masked

men made her feel uneasy.

There were so many places in Khebury that could be robbed, so why

did they choose a crowded area? Even if she hadn't taken action, the

police would have arrived quickly. Moreover, the masked men

specifically targeted children, as if they wanted to make the situation

worse.

She had a strange feeling that this group of people wasn't just after

money; they wanted to create chaos and panic in Khebury.
