"When I was withdrawing money at the bank counter, I saw you weren't focused on your work. You were looking around suspiciously, like a shifty character. It was obvious something was off."
"I checked it out and found that your name isn't Hirota Masami at all, but Akemi Miyano!"
"From my professional perspective, you're working at the bank under an assumed identity, most likely to rob it."
Baishi Hui gave Akemi Miyano a somewhat reasonable explanation.
Akemi Miyano immediately believed him.
It wasn't that she was naive or easily trusting.
Rather, she was new to the business, a complete novice.
She was completely clueless about this line of work, knowing nothing at all.
Everything she did was based on her own guesswork.
Being seen through so easily didn't strike her as odd.
"Is that so? So my suspiciousness was that obvious?" Akemi gave a bitter laugh, genuinely believing she hadn't disguised herself well enough.
Seeing that he had bluffed Akemi, Baishi Hui felt reassured and said calmly, "Tell me, why do you want to rob the bank?"
Although he already knew the reason, he still needed to ask.
He wanted to gauge her level of trust in him through her answer.
Akemi hesitated, then thought about her current situation; it seemed she had no other choice.
Could she really steal a billion yen from the bank with her own abilities?
It might be better to follow this senior, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
Thinking this, she spoke, "It's like this. My sister and I grew up in a criminal organization. Now, we want to leave that place."
"The organization demands a billion yen for us to leave."
"That's why I chose to take the risk and steal a billion yen from the bank!"
Listening to Akemi tell the truth, Baishi Hui nodded inwardly.
He once again confirmed that his decision to help Akemi was the right one!
She was a good person.
If she hadn't been forced by the organization, she wouldn't have gone down this path.
Thinking this, Baishi Hui said unhurriedly, "You shouldn't rob banks… It's not worth it to spend so much time and take such a big risk just to get so little money, and then still be heavily scrutinized by the Police!"
"If you're going to rob, go rob those gang bosses and criminals!"
"Even if you take them out, in the eyes of the Police, it's just internal gang conflict; they won't bother with it."
Akemi wasn't ignorant of this logic. She said helplessly, "I've thought about that too. But with my slender arms and legs, how dare I provoke them?"
Baishi Hui smiled slightly and said, "If I partner with you, that won't be a problem!"
Saying that, he picked up the MPP9 submachine gun. Its muzzle velocity was 370 meters per second, its rate of fire was as high as 900 rounds per minute, and its optimal range was 50-100 meters.
"It can empty a 20-round magazine in less than a second!"
"Numbers are meaningless in front of it!"
"I have many guys like this."
After demonstrating his combat prowess, Baishi Hui explained the method of cooperation: "As long as you can find the transaction locations of criminals, I can send them to meet Jesus in minutes!"
"Then we'll split the money fifty-fifty, how about it?"
Akemi's heart stirred upon hearing this proposal.
She only needed to gather information to get money?
Isn't this much safer than personally going to rob a bank?
Besides, she grew up in the organization and, through immersion, knew quite a few tricks of the trade.
"Mm. I can try." Akemi nodded and agreed.
Baishi Hui took a briefcase from under his feet and said, "The contact information is inside. Let me know if you have any news."
After saying that, he didn't linger, getting up to leave.
As he passed Akemi, he slipped the MP9 in his hand into her arms, saying, "Consider this a welcome gift for you."
"!!!" Akemi was utterly stunned.
She looked at the cold weapon in her hand, then looked up at Azu the Bandit walking away, a thought surfacing in her mind—Doesn't he worry I'll shoot him?
Seeing him calmly open the door and leave, Akemi praised him endlessly in her heart.
Is this what a big shot in the underworld is like?
Amazing!
Just this demeanor is something I can't compare to.
After thinking this, a few sparks of warmth ignited in her dead heart, and she felt as if she had seen a ray of hope!
In reality, Baishi Hui wasn't that generous or composed.
Firearms purchased from the Thug Mall could not be stored in the system space.
Walking around openly with a submachine gun was purely asking for trouble.
So he just casually gave it to her.
Furthermore, taking off the safety and racking the slide makes a sound.
If he heard Akemi actually take off the safety and rack the slide, Baishi Hui would take her out immediately.
"What's in this box?" Akemi temporarily set the MP9 aside. She took the box and opened it, finding various surveillance devices inside, along with various instruction manuals.
In addition, there was a dedicated contact phone.
At this, Akemi couldn't help but smile.
She finally experienced the joy of relying on a powerful person.
He immediately gave her such a generous beginner's gift package!
This would greatly facilitate her intelligence work!
Mr. Azu was much more generous than Gin and the others, giving both a gun and equipment.
After a comparison, Akemi's favorable impression of him increased significantly.
—
Ever since meeting Akemi, Baishi Hui suddenly felt like he had something to look forward to in life.
Even going to school no longer felt dull and boring!
People, they really need to find something interesting to do to ignite their passion for life!
Robbing banks easily injured ordinary people, and would also attract the Police, causing a lot of trouble.
So he pulled Akemi into a change of profession.
They would specifically target gangs and criminals.
Not only did it combat crime, but it also robbed the rich to help the poor, satisfying his moral needs.
A triple win!
It was practically a complete victory!
Isn't this much better than robbing banks?
Moreover, Beika had always been known as 'Little Gotham'.
It would be a waste if he didn't properly display his talents!
Since the Police couldn't manage it well, he would!
In this day and age, even phantom thieves could act as heroes.
Why couldn't Azu the Bandit combat criminals?
