“Freeze! Put your hands where I can see them!”

As though he had found his savior, Willard screamed at the top of his lungs, “Help me, officers! This man killed all these people and threatened to break my fingers! He needs to be brought to justice! Hurry up and arrest—”

Donald cut him off with another kick to the face, breaking his nose in the process.

“Freeze, or we will open fire!” Clifford yelled.

He didn't think Donald would be bold enough to hit someone with so many police officers pointing their guns at him.

Donald glanced at Clifford and asked calmly, “Are you from the eastern branch? Do you know Joseph Moreno?”

“I don't know any man named Joseph! You are currently involved in a murder case, so put your knife down, or we will open fire!” Clifford snapped back at him angrily.

He was particularly furious after noticing Yosef, who turned out to be his brother-in-law, lying in a pool of blood.

It was obvious that Donald was the one responsible for the cut on Yosef's throat.

As Clifford had always been very close with his sister, the mere thought of her having to become a widow enraged him to no end.

Clifford flipped the safety of his firearm off so he could easily gun Donald down if he tried anything funny.

Suddenly, Clifford's partner, Gilbert Quimby, recalled something and whispered into his ear, “Captain Taggart, Joseph Moreno is the chief of our department. It's possible that he might have some powerful connections.”

Clifford had been consumed by anger at first, but he quickly calmed down after hearing what Gilbert said.

As Joseph was his direct superior, it would be hard for him to explain himself if he ended up killing Donald.

After hesitating for a bit, Clifford asked, “You know Chief Moreno? Who are you exactly?”

“My name is Donald Campbell.”

The looks on the police officers' faces changed immediately after they heard that.

Joseph had specifically briefed them about Donald during a meeting a few days ago, so they were all too familiar with his name.

They were ordered to inform Joseph if they ever ran into Donald while responding to emergencies.
