The scene inside the New York bank was chaotic that morning.
Panic was etched on almost everyone's face as they looked at the armed robbers.
Of course, not everyone in the bank was afraid. Bai Ye observed the expressions of the people around him.
Besides himself, there was another man on the scene who remained calm. His right hand instinctively reached for his waist, likely a gangster like himself, here for business.
Hurry up and grab the money, do it quickly. Bai Ye, with his hands on his head, huddled with the other hostages, praying inwardly.
He wasn't at all worried about the loss of his money if it was stolen. After all, this wasn't about robbing him; it was about slapping the mutants in the face.
If these people were allowed to get away with it, the bank affiliated with the Brotherhood would have absolutely no credibility left.
To survive in this game, you need to build a long-term business, and that relies on your reputation. Even terrorists need to be trustworthy; if they say they'll kill your whole family, they won't miss a single person.
Bai Ye was certain that once these robbers walked out of the bank, the mutants who felt offended would find them that night. After turning them to ash, they would return the stolen money, of course.
So, he actually hoped these hotheads would hurry up and grab the money and get out. That would make things easier to resolve.
"Hurry up! Get all the cash and bills out now. Cooperate, and don't set off the alarm, or I'll shoot you dead," the robber threatened, pointing his submachine gun at the counter staff.
As the robber spoke, gunshots erupted inside the bank, causing a wave of screams.
The security guards who tried to draw their guns and fight back from the shadows were immediately shot and fell to the ground. One of the robbers, who had fired, clutched his bleeding waist and let out a howl.
"Scott!" Seeing his companion shot, the robber who had been pointing the gun at the customer service immediately shouted in concern, then rushed over, abandoning the money, and anxiously checked his partner's injuries.
"Aris, go and have the customer service open the vault. We don't have much time," the robber guarding the hostages urged.
"I'm not robbing anyone anymore. Come on, I'll take you to the hospital right now," Aris, the robber, didn't listen and helped Scott.
"Don't worry about me, go rob the place! My wound isn't life-threatening, the money is more important," the robber said, clutching his wound in pain.
Bai Ye: …
Bai Ye, who had been watching the whole time, was dumbfounded. How could he encounter such weirdos? Dude, this is a bank robbery! Are they acting out a Qiong Yao Drama? Are they going to rob the bank or not?
After some delay, these people finally started robbing the bank properly, on the one hand, they were holding the bank manager hostage to open the vault, on the other hand, they were robbing the cash from the counters.
But watching their reckless actions, Bai Ye's blood pressure rose. He saw the robbers in front of the counter, completely unguarded, directly taking all the cash stored inside at once.
You know, some banks, in order to immediately call the police after a robbery, will set up a trigger alarm under the cash at the counter, so experienced gangs usually put a few sheets of paper when taking the money.
Now, it goes without saying, the police station has already received the news of these idiots and is preparing to dispatch officers.
Here, the robbers were still ignorant of the situation. They opened the vault under the manager's lead, and their eyes lit up as they looked at the full cash, gold, bills, and piles of valuables inside.
They didn't know that the valuables in the vault were all goods deposited by various gangs. Robbing the vault now was equivalent to directly offending half of the New York underworld. The last person who dared to do this couldn't even find a decent organ.
Sure enough, while these people were scrambling around for money, after a series of brain-dead actions by these individuals, in less than three minutes, before they could even fill the bags with money, a series of urgent sirens immediately sounded outside the bank, and seven or eight police cars surrounded the place on the spot.
"Boss, we're surrounded by the police," one of the robbers said in a panic.
"Damn it, didn't they say the police were holding a press conference today? How could they come so fast?" the leader of the robbers said furiously.
"Ugh…" Bai Ye, hiding in the crowd, rolled his eyes. He understood why this group had chosen this time to strike; it was because of this reason.
Although he had been engrossed in fitness lately and didn't know about this press conference, he knew that if the boss was holding a press conference, would his subordinates have a day off?
The entire city of New York covered over a thousand square kilometers, with a total of seventy-seven police precincts and over thirty thousand official police officers. What were these people thinking? Didn't they even do any research?
This wasn't even a professional team. Besides being skilled with guns and having strong bodies, Bai Ye suspected their brains had been taken over by their muscles.
At this moment, Bai Ye had completely accepted his fate, just crouching to the side and watching these six or seven robbers perform their monkey show.
Anyway, with his current physical condition, if he didn't want to expose himself, killing these people would be a matter of seconds, he wasn't afraid at all.
"People inside, come out! You are surrounded! Put down your weapons and surrender immediately!" the police outside shouted through a loudspeaker, repeatedly urging the robbers, causing their faces to darken.
"Boss, what do we do?" A robber's face, hidden behind a mask, was deathly pale.
"Negotiate with them. Tell them to get us a van, and then we leave with the hostages." The leader of the robbers said, his gaze sweeping over the customers huddled in the corner. He immediately singled out Bai Ye.
"You, come here!" The leader pointed his submachine gun at Bai Ye.
"Me?" Bai Ye was taken aback, surprised that he was involved. Nevertheless, he obediently stood up and walked forward.
"Yes, you're the hostage. You'll stand at the door and make the demands. We'll be behind you with guns. If you try to run, we'll shoot." The leader looked at Bai Ye's face, his tone firm.
"Okay." Bai Ye nodded; it was just being a hostage.
At the same time, on a building in Times Square, New York, reporters from various news agencies gathered. Each of them held long and short cameras, watching the director, George, on the stage, asking one leading question after another.
Because he was already familiar with the nature of these media outlets, and had memorized the script last night, his answers came smoothly. But the next moment, the deputy director hurried over from the side and whispered a few words in George's ear.
"What, Lanshier Bank in New York was also robbed?" George asked, unable to contain his surprise.
As soon as the words left his mouth, the reporters in the audience's eyes instantly lit up with excitement.
"Click! Click! Click!"
Countless cameras in the hands of reporters snapped their shutters. With the blinding flashes of light, the panicked expressions of the commissioner and deputy commissioner on the stage were immediately recorded.
