<h4>Chapter 78: Before the Raid!</h4>


    Jon’s n could only attempt to get two people to leave. The remaining three people still needed to attract the firepower.


    However, if two of the robbers managed to leave with the gold, it would be considered a victory for the robbers.


    Therefore, Jon still needed to discuss with the four people in a while to see who would leave with him.


    As for the remaining three, they could only sacrifice themselves for the team’s victory.


    Time slowly passed.


    During this period, both the police and the robbers were waiting.


    The police were waiting for the ambush n to bepleted beforeunching a raid.


    As for Jon, he was waiting for the smelting furnace to finish smelting all the gold.


    The audience in the official live broadcast room felt a sense of calm before the storm.


    Although there were fewerments spamming at this time, the hype did not cold down.


    The audience was looking forward to the first face-to-face confrontation between the police and the robbers.


    On the inte and on the forums, posts about the drill also appeared one after another.


    “Shocking! During the Pennsylvania drill, the robbers killed the negotiator in an instant.”


    “Ridiculous! They killed the police officers without any restraint during the drill. Aren’t the robbers afraid that they won’t be able to escape in the end?”


    “During the drill, themander actually made such a decision. The drill will end, or he will be punished!”


    The posts on the inte were all very eye-catching.


    These contents. Themander also roughly read through them. A portion of them were talking about his decision tounch a raid.


    With so many people in the United States watching this drill, any decision he made would attract public opinion.


    However, the order tounch a raid had to be given.


    After all, Jon held hostages who could threaten him, but he did not have any bargaining chips in his hands.


    If they were kept ying by Jon in the palm, then the police would definitely lose this drill.


    “Do you feel a lot of pressure?”


    Just as themander was frowning, themissioner came behind him and patted his shoulder.


    Themissioner was the referee for this drill. Naturally, he was also at the scene, but he did not show his face.


    “Of course it’s big. The entire United States is watching this drill.”


    Themander smiled bitterly.


    Just the official live stream alone had 30 million people watching it. Many people who did not watch the live broadcast were also paying attention to this matter.


    If he made a mistake, he would immediately be a trending topic.


    Even many foreign media outlets were paying attention to this matter.


    “You’re right. If we don’t dare to verify whether the decision was wrong during the drill, then what should we do during actualbat?”


    “As long as you treat this drill seriously, then this drill will have meaning. The police department isn’t afraid of losing face. As long as we ensure that the mistakes that urred during the drill will not be repeated during actualbat, then it will be worth it.”, themissioner said with a smile. He felt very gratified by the words of themander.


    “Yes, sir.”


    Themander saluted themissioner.


    Commissioner’s meaning was obvious. He wanted him to do it without any worries.


    At this moment in the temporarymand room.


    On the control panel’s disy screen, a few scenes in the bank disappeared, and snowkes shed once again.


    The technician did not dare to dy and hurriedly reported, “Sir, the surveince footage in the bank have disappeared again.”


    When themander heard this, he quickly came over to check.


    Sure enough, all nine images disappeared.


    “Try again to see if you can connect.”, themander quickly said.


    “I can’t connect. It should be cut off from the bank’s surveince room.”


    The technician tried a few times but could not retrieve the surveince signal.


    This had happened once before, but the robber did not act rashly, so themander temporarily determined that there might be other reasons for theck of signal.


    But this time, it happened again.


    If it were a problem like thework, it could not have happened twice in a few short hours.


    Therefore, it was almost certain that the break in the surveince signal was the work of the robbers.


    Jon hadpletely cut off the surveince signal, so the police could not see the situation in the bank.


    This probably meant that they were about to take action.


    As for what action, it was unknown.


    Then, themander said to the SWAT team leader, “How’s the raid n going?”


    The SWAT team leader looked up and said, “It’s done, but we need a certain amount of time to deploy.”


    “We canunch the raid in ten minutes.”


    Themander nodded and thought for a moment. Then, he said to a few technicians, “Check the phone number in the bank.”


    There were fixed phones in the bank, and this number could be found on the inte.


    Soon, the technician found the bank’s phone number.


    Themander stared at it for a moment, then used his cell phone to dial the number.


    In the bank, Will Smith and Brown Williams had already brought out the melted gold.


    Because they had sessfully melted 100 kilograms of gold, Jon had Leon Evans on the second floor cut off the bank’s surveince.


    This scene could not be seen by the police outside the bank.


    At this moment, Jon was picking up a few tubes filled with gold to check.


    At this moment, the bank’s phone rang.


    “Phone? It should be a customer of the bank.”, Will Smith looked at the phone and said.


    “No.”


    Jon shook his head. “It’s not a customer of the bank. It should be themander of the police.”


    Not long after he asked Leon Evans to cut off the surveince, the phone rang. It meant that themander hade to inquire about the situation.


    Will Smith asked, “Do you want to answer it?”


    “Of course, why not?”


    Jon smiled. He came to the phone and picked it up.


    “I’m themander of this drill…”


    The phone was picked up, and themander introduced himself directly.


    However, before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Jon. “I know who you are. Tell me, why are you calling?”


    Themander paused for a moment and said, “I’m just telling you that 14 dinners have been prepared. How can I send them to you?”


    As for whether the dinner was ready or not, he did not know.


    The reason he called was to stall for time.


    After all, the SWAT team leader needed some time to deploy the raid, and the surveince cameras in the bank had been cut off.


    He was worried that Jon would do something, so he called.


    He tried to stall for time to prepare for the next raid.


    Hearing themander’s words, Jon narrowed his eyes and felt that something was not right.


    However, he did not show his doubt. His tone was the same as before. “Just send someone to send it over. By the way, have you arranged the helicopter?”


    Hearing that, themander felt a headache. “Arranging the helicopter is beyond my ability. I can’t do anything about it. You can change your request. As long as it’s within my ability, I can try my best to satisfy you.”
