At Stacy's house, under George's complicated gaze, Bai Ye was struggling to fend off the girl's advances.
"Bai Ye, what do you like to eat?"
"You also think my mom's steamed sea bass is delicious? I love it too."
"It seems we have similar tastes. Actually, I can cook a few things too. I'll cook for you next time, if you want."
"By the way, what do you usually like to do?"
Looking at the girl in front of him, who was tilting her head and gazing at him with eyes that seemed to be full of adoration, Bai Ye felt a little uncomfortable and turned his head away.
In this world where appearances reign supreme, you never know how proactive a girl will be when faced with a young man whose charm stat is off the charts.
In truth, the girl's pick-up lines weren't that clever. Her persistence was even a little…crude. But it was all about sincerity, so genuine that Bai Ye was starting to feel overwhelmed.
What Bai Ye found even more baffling was that, even though Gwen was being so obvious, neither of the parents at the table had said a word.
Hurry up and say something! Your daughter might just start ripping his clothes off any second now!
At this moment, in Bai Ye's eyes, Gwen was more troublesome than facing ten thousand robbers!
After quickly eating a couple of bites to fill his stomach, Bai Ye turned his gaze to George, who hadn't said a word the entire time.
"Chief, you invited me here today for more than just a meal, right? Now that we're done eating, can we talk business?"
"Let's go out on the balcony," George said, having finished his meal as well. He stood and walked towards the balcony, and Bai Ye followed.
Hearing that they were going to discuss serious matters, the others wisely stopped talking and silently watched the two leave.
On the balcony, George rested his hands on the railing, gazing at the distant buildings as he slowly said, "Do you know that the public's opinion of the police department has begun to seriously deteriorate today?"
"Does this have anything to do with me?" Bai Ye countered. "If your police department's forces were a little stronger, and you'd dealt with the robbers sooner, there wouldn't have been any need for me to step in."
"You're right, but the police in New York aren't extraordinary humans like you. They're just a group of ordinary people with decent qualities. That's also why I'm looking for you today."
George looked at Bai Ye and said, "We're asking you here today because we want to invite you to join the New York Police Department."
"That's it?" Bai Ye looked at George. "Just that? What about the rest?"
"The rest?" George was taken aback.
"You want me to join the police department, but aren't there any conditions?" Bai Ye frowned.
"Conditions? What conditions? Considering you're just a high school student, you're not qualified to be a full-fledged officer, so we can only offer you a position as a consultant for the New York Police Department."
"I'm talking about benefits, power, what joining gets me. What were you thinking? Nobody joins without conditions," Bai Ye rolled his eyes.
"Well, the New York Police Department's budget is a bit tight, but..." George began, but Bai Ye cut him off.
"Forget it, I refuse," Bai Ye said without hesitation. This broke guy was trying to recruit him? Did he think he was Song Jiang?
"You guys should just go back to what you were doing. Deal with the petty thieves and leave the heavy hitters to the superheroes," Bai Ye said dismissively.
In his opinion, the New York Police Department was useless, which was understandable. How could a bunch of ordinary people fight against super-powered criminals?
Spider-Man had just mutated, and Iron Man was still a playboy. So, in the eyes of the public, the New York Police Department seemed useless, because expectations and abilities didn't match up.
But when super heroes and super villains started popping up everywhere, once people got used to seeing gods fighting, they'd understand that the police were just background characters in the super-powered battles.
You can't expect something worth a dollar to be worth ten, so it's better to accept the fact that the New York Police Department is made up of ordinary people and lower your expectations.
George was a bit annoyed by Bai Ye's attitude: "Hand it over to those superheroes? You mean that group of people who haven't shown their faces yet? Who knows what their identities are in reality? Without legal oversight, New York's security would have been in chaos long ago."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Bai Ye didn't bother arguing with him, nodding repeatedly. "Since we've finished eating, and I've rejected your request, and there's nothing else to do here, I'll head back. See you again sometime."
"Wait a moment." George called out to Bai Ye.
"What else is it?" Bai Ye turned his head.
"About Gwen..."
"I know, I'll keep my distance from her." Bai Ye made an OK gesture.
"No, I mean, you can come over for dinner more often in the future." George said somewhat dejectedly. He was really dissatisfied with Bai Ye's personality, and the amount of killing was too much, the actions too cruel, but his daughter liked him...
"Uh...maybe." Bai Ye nodded speechlessly, walked out onto the balcony, and insisted on leaving, despite the reluctance of Stacy and her family. He had other things to do tonight.
Coming out onto the street, the cold night wind whipped around Bai Ye, chilling his heart. Thinking of Uncle Li's phone call, a murderous intent began to surface in Bai Ye's mind.
But he couldn't act yet. As any friend who's killed before would know, it's easy to kill, but hard to get away with it.
If Uncle Li had just called him, and then died at home that very night, and Bai Ye had just demonstrated the ability to commit such a crime, then the police would check the call records and immediately identify him as a suspect.
So, for Bai Ye, the real problem wasn't killing Uncle Li, but killing him without getting caught by the New York Police Department.
And Bai Ye already had some ideas on how to accomplish this.
Wandering the streets, Bai Ye's mind was filled with information from before he left the underworld.
With his mental strength at 1.6, past memories flooded back, surfacing in Bai Ye's mind.
These memories included the names and appearances of various New York gang leaders, as well as their home addresses and other basic information.
Soon, in the memories flooding his mind, Bai Ye quickly locked onto his first target: Brown Roderick, the leader of the Countermeasure Gang!
With his target in mind, Bai Ye walked along the main road, where he could be seen by surveillance cameras. He returned to the Club, then slipped out the back door, where there were no cameras, and quietly entered a nearby supermarket.
Avoiding the cameras, he took a set of clothes and a pair of shoes from the supermarket, leaving behind the equivalent value in US dollars before leaving.
Half an hour later, having obtained the items he needed, Bai Ye hesitated for a moment before heading towards his home. Before he could take action, there was one important thing he'd left at home, and without it, it would be difficult to achieve his goal.
