Upon hearing the name Value Line Corporation, a flicker of despair crossed the girl's eyes.
It's important to know that Value Line Corporation is now a behemoth on par with Stark Industries, and the presidents of both companies hold the power of life and death over the entire planet.
Behind the scenes, this is how people describe the power of the Value Line and the Stark Industries leadership:
With a flick of a finger, policies can be changed; with a single word, the entire continent can be affected; with a sneeze, the world can be silenced… simply rotate your office chair backward and everyone will bow down.
Under such extreme power, even if the leaders did not have this inclination, the status of employees in these two companies would naturally rise accordingly.
In most cases, working for these two groups wields even more power than being an official.
"Hahaha, resist all you want, I just love your style." The blond thug grinned and tried to step forward, but the next moment a hand landed on his shoulder.
"I heard that your relative is a supervisor at Value Line. I'd like to know more about his background. Could you please tell me?"
A gentle voice rang out beside the thug, prompting him to say impatiently, "Fuck, who's got a death wish and dares to block my way?"
But when he turned around, he saw a man holding a baton and covered in a red bodysuit.
The moment he recognized who it was, his mind, which had been clouded by the second brother, immediately cleared up considerably. His lips trembled as he couldn't say anything, while another girl beside him exclaimed in surprise, "Daredevil!"
'Damn it, how did I run into Daredevil?' The blond thug thought sadly, looking at Daredevil's smirking face, he was already regretting his bad luck today.
But without giving the other party a chance to regret it, the next moment, to Daredevil's astonishment, the blond-haired man in front of him exploded instantly, turning into blood that splattered on the walls of the alley.
Fresh blood flowed continuously down the wall, dripping and sliding down with the minced flesh, appearing incredibly pervasive.
Daredevil turned around warily and saw a man slowly retract his right hand and turn his head to look directly at him: "Looks like your eyes are healed, Matthew."
“Bai…Your Majesty.” Daredevil looked at Bai Ye, whom he hadn’t seen for several months, but their identities were now worlds apart.
As for the girl standing to the side, she was completely stunned, wondering if she was some kind of destined soulmate, that such a small crime had actually attracted Bai Ye's attention.
Thinking of this, the girl nervously twisted her hands together and secretly glanced at Bai Ye's profile.
Bai Ye withdrew his hand, not even glancing at the crimson flesh beside him. In that instant, on a whim, he had smashed all the criminals in New York to pieces.
Approximately four thousand people died.
But this is far from enough compared to the global crime we just saw.
Bai Ye didn't really care much about crime, after all, he had been forced into the underworld and had seen a lot of disgusting things. As long as they didn't disgust him in front of him, he would let it go.
But as his strength increased, his vision (physics) also broadened, and things he couldn't see or hear before flooded into his mind.
During his brief browsing, he discovered some things that crossed his physical limits, some of which disgusted him. He thought that if he had to use his hearing every time he tried to hear something like this, he would be disgusted to death.
So in order to avoid seeing disgusting things, he had to take the initiative to do something, such as killing all the cockroaches that were causing trouble in secret.
From today onwards, rape, murder, human trafficking, bullying, and cyberbullying are things that can only be done with Bai Ye's permission.
"Now, go find Stark and tell them to meet at the White House in half an hour," White Night instructed Daredevil, giving a simple order.
"I understand. I will definitely deliver His Majesty's message accurately." Daredevil nodded, sensing that White Night's decision would likely have a huge impact on society.
After receiving a clear answer, Bai Ye nodded slightly and disappeared from the spot the next moment, leaving Daredevil and the girl alone in the alley.
"Madam, I may not have time to take you home right now, please be careful on your journey," Daredevil said with a warm smile.
Ten minutes later, with Daredevil's notification, the news of White Night's return spread across the globe in an instant. Especially after learning that White Night was preparing to hold a meeting, Kingpin and the others, who had been somewhat complacent, all became vigilant.
These people were all speculating about the main purpose of Bai Ye's meeting, while rushing to the White House at full speed.
Upon hearing the news that Bai Ye had eliminated more than four thousand criminals upon his return, Kingpin had a vague sense of unease.
Although he had tried his best to restrain his subordinates' behavior, the group was not clean after all, and it was wishful thinking to think that they could remain untainted by such a corrupt environment.
Half an hour later, when Kingpin arrived at the White House, he saw White Night sitting with his legs crossed in the same office chair Stark usually used, looking at everyone with his fingers interlaced.
Meanwhile, Rogrides and Stark had already arrived, along with Professor X and other elite generals under White Night's command. He was clearly the last to arrive.
"Your Majesty, I apologize, I... I got a little carried away and arrived late."
Kingpin hesitated for a moment, then looked at Bai Ye staring straight at him and decided not to make excuses and tell the truth, since Bai Ye didn't like people lying.
Bai Ye nodded without blaming him. What's wrong with enjoying yourself? As long as you arrive within the allotted time, there won't be any problems.
"It seems everyone has arrived." He looked at everyone present and slowly said, "Next, I have two things to inform you of. You will carry them out."
"First of all, my abilities have improved recently, and I can now hear almost the entire world, so I can detect all sorts of noise entering my brain, such as people secretly cursing me and all kinds of crimes around the world."
"Although I just finished cleaning up all of New York, it would be too much trouble to continue cleaning up one by one."
Bai Ye scanned the group and said, "So, I want you to eliminate all those annoying sounds within a month."
"I don't care if you use AI to monitor everyone, or if you have Professor X brainwash everyone."
Bai Ye said in an extremely calm tone, "Anyway, when I refocus my attention on this planet, I don't want any disharmony. Everyone, even if they're just pretending, has to keep pretending."
"Otherwise, it would bother me a lot, and if I'm unhappy then, I don't want anyone else to be happy."
The people present: ...
Faced with Baiye's response, everyone present felt a wave of exasperation.
It's too domineering to make everyone else unhappy just because you're unhappy yourself, but the problem is that this guy in front of you actually has that ability.
“No problem.” Stark spoke first: “There are plenty of ways to shut those people up. It’s just a matter of making a networked collar. Give me a night and I can make it, mass production within a day, and everyone will definitely have one within a week.”
"It's just a small problem, no one will say a word about it."
As he spoke, Stark inwardly agreed with his own suggestion.
He has always had the personality to use his abilities to protect everyone.
However, it was not implemented due to the obstruction of Kingpin and others. Now that Bai Ye has brought it up, everything is just right.
Once this collar is invented, most crimes will naturally disappear, achieving a different kind of universal harmony.
Bai Ye nodded in agreement with Stark's suggestion. As long as the goal could be achieved, he didn't mind the other party's methods.
“Next is the second point. I remember there shouldn’t be this many superhumans.” Bai Ye looked at Stark, Kingpin, and Rodriguez.
"I just counted, and there are currently about 354.2 million superpowered people in the world, but the number of registered users is only 345.69 million, right?"
Bai Ye asked with some confusion, "Can someone explain to me where these extra nine million or so superpowered individuals came from?"
"This..." The three people present hesitated when asked.
Finally, Rodriguez spoke first, explaining, "Your Majesty, the manufacturing of superpower awakening devices is not complicated. As long as there are materials and blueprints, one can be copied at any time."
"Because the number of people with superpowers is fixed, those who did not register will naturally be unwilling to accept it. Under such circumstances, the black market naturally emerged."
"So, those people still managed to create this kind of thing even after I explicitly denied it?" Bai Ye confirmed.
Upon hearing this, the people present immediately sensed something was amiss, but they still nodded.
"I think I made myself clear enough before. Only after registration can one become a superpowered person. So, shouldn't this be considered a crime of deceiving the emperor?"
Bai Ye scratched his head lightly and said, "I remember what the punishment would have been in ancient times?"
shock! ! !
Everyone stared at Bai Ye in astonishment, especially Professor X and Stark. Was this guy trying to play a game of Candy Crush?
Thinking about those nine million people plus their nine clans, if they were to continue killing, an entire country might be wiped out.
"Don't worry, it's not that serious. What kind of person do you think I am?"
Seemingly sensing their tension, Bai Ye waved his hand casually and said, "Let those people turn themselves in as soon as possible. After their superpowers are removed through the reversal device, just record it."
"Phew~" The people at the scene breathed a sigh of relief; they were almost scared to death.
"In short, let's get these two things done as soon as possible, otherwise it won't be good if I make a big deal out of it," Bai Ye said with a smile.
These words were naturally met with assurances from those present.
Kingpin and the others were already thinking that after this meeting, they would have Stark create a more advanced version of the collar, granting him more lenient permissions and avoiding making a big deal out of everything.
……
While Bai Ye was holding a meeting with Kingpin and the others, in Gotham City's prison, Gavin was tightly bound by steel alloy, his eyes revealing a calm madness.
Nearly two months had passed since the deaths of his wife, children, and elderly parents, and it was only natural for him to seek revenge against the entire underworld.
However, compared to the previous small-scale crackdowns on crime, his methods in the past two months have become more than ten times more ruthless.
To die instantly at his hands is considered extremely lucky, a stroke of incredible fortune.
Most of them lost their lives little by little amidst wailing and pain.
Ironically, his brutal hunting led to a significant improvement in Gotham City's security, and the fear he instilled was even greater than that of Batman and the Joker.
After all, in Batman's hands, you'd at most be seriously injured, not die.
Ordinary people don't even have the right to be played by clowns.
But Gavin would torment them. Faced with extreme physical pain, most people would find that kinship, love, and desire could be easily discarded, while only pain remained eternal.
Such an action naturally drew Batman's ire, as it was completely contrary to his so-called ideals. In Gotham City, killing is unacceptable, regardless of who does it or what the reason may be.
So after a month-long manhunt, he was successfully captured by Batman and sent to Arkham Asylum, where he was placed under stricter guard than any other mentally ill criminal.
"Heh, heh." In the darkness, Gavin squeezed out a mocking laugh from his somewhat hoarse throat.
After the deaths of his wife and children, his heart was filled with despair, just like the city itself, which had fallen into boundless silence. Now, all that remained was a heart consumed by sin and vengeance.
During his two months of killing, he rediscovered the meaning of life: to completely destroy all evil in the world, for which he was willing to pay any price.
Even when trapped in Arkham, he did not despair. Perhaps when he escaped, the people of this city would discover what kind of monster they had created.
But before that, a familiar message appeared in a chat group that had been quiet for a long time.
【Deep Blue】: @Civilians of Sin City, do you still need help? I've finished everything I was doing.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Upon seeing this message, Gavin burst into maniacal laughter, his trembling body causing the connecting iron chains to rattle and jingle.
A moment later, Bai Ye saw a positive reply in the chat group: "He's in Arkham, just entered a mental hospital, come quick!!!"
