From picking up corpses to becoming a true god of America

Chapter 97 None of Your Business

Hearing Guy's explanation, Ye Xiao was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect that there would be someone in Seattle who dared to go against the FBI.

Could it be that those powerful and wealthy people are tired of their lives and want to add some excitement to their dull and boring existence?

"Didn't you find any clues?"

Ye Xiao asked seriously.

"There is a little, but it's not specific."

Guy looked at the distant island with a hint of disappointment.

Do you remember Mpower Financial?

"Our investigation revealed that many people who owed money to this company mysteriously disappeared."

Missing?

As someone who experienced it firsthand, Ye Xiao certainly knew what this company had done.

If it weren't for the system, Ye Chi might also have become a member of the missing persons list.

"and then?"

"We compared the data with that of the Seattle Police Department and found that some of the missing persons cases highly overlapped with the data found by the Savery Lab."

"Furthermore, Savery also used the guise of drug trials to specifically lure people who owed money to Mpower to participate."

At this point, Guy gritted his teeth and said with difficulty, "In other words, it can now be roughly confirmed that this company provided Savely with live experimental subjects."

"There's one more thing. Miss Louise and Miss Rachel will both be attending the banquet on Tasster Island."

Guy swallowed hard, somewhat uneasy, and said, "Almost all the powerful figures in Washington state are on the island. If they find any problems, we'll be in huge trouble."

"Were they all invited by that Representative Rocky?"

"really."

Guy shook his head with a wry smile: "I don't know which congressman he got on board. He's over sixty years old, but his career is only getting better and better. He's been a county councilor for almost his whole life, and after his son died, he actually became a political star in the state."

Just as they were heading to Tasster Island.

At the island's seaside villa, old councilor Rocky was standing in the banquet hall, personally greeting distinguished guests.

The people who are here today are basically from major political families, high-ranking officials, and wealthy businessmen in Washington State.

Even though Rocky is currently riding high, he is still willing to personally greet him.

Amidst the clinking of glasses, he suddenly noticed three figures entering and quickly stepped forward, smiling, "Prosecutor Charles, it's been a long time."

"Old Rocky, it's so hard to see you these days."

Prosecutor Charles shook his head, a hint of disdain in his expression.

As for Louise and Rachel behind him, they didn't give Rocky a kind look at all.

However, Rocky wasn't annoyed.

He knew that it was already a great honor for Charles and his cousins ​​to attend the banquet.

"How could that be? You can come to the island for vacation anytime you have time."

Rocky waved his hand and said, "Please come in and make yourself at home."

In the bustling banquet hall, Rachel found a seat and began to grumble in dissatisfaction.

"This is so boring, there's no fun in here at all."

"It might really be boring for you."

Louise smiled slightly and said, "But for old guys like Rocky, this is a battlefield where they exchange interests."

"Hmph, what battlefield? It's nothing more than a peace treaty between officials and merchants."

Charles scoffed and took a sip of champagne: "That old dog Rocky almost lost his position as a county councilor because of his son's affair. If it weren't for his connections with Congress, he would have been kicked out long ago."

"Oh, so which line did he connect with?"

Louise asked curiously.

"There are all sorts of opinions from the establishment and conservatives, but as far as I know, many people in the state have been asking him for favors lately, and he can solve even the most troublesome problems."

"From what you're saying, you've been here many times?"

"Ahem!"

Charles cleared his throat somewhat awkwardly after Louise exposed him.

He put on a righteous and indignant demeanor just now, actually to lower Louise's guard.

Charles had previously received favors from Rocky, who asked him to act as a go-between with Louise.

Charles, feeling indebted to Charles for accepting a gift, brought his two cousins ​​with him.

"Let's not talk about this anymore."

Meeting Louise's wary gaze, Charles sensed something was wrong and quickly changed the subject.

"Rachel, didn't you want to watch a great show? It's coming up later. I'll take you there now."

"Really? Okay!"

After passing through a covered walkway, we arrived at the exterior of a building behind the seaside villas that resembled an opera house.

Charles took the three masks and gave one to Louise and one to Rachel.

"What does this mean?"

Louise, holding the white rabbit mask, asked in confusion.

"Just put it on."

Charles smiled mysteriously: "The contents inside aren't suitable for revealing our identities."

"snort."

Louise shook her head, a mocking smile on her face.

"With just this mask? You're really just burying your heads in the sand."

As the eldest daughter of the family, Louise had witnessed the dark side of the so-called powerful and wealthy from a young age.

Those hypocrites who constantly spout nonsense about democracy and freedom often do outrageous things to vent their human desires.

But they also feel a sense of shame, knowing that these things are against human nature, so they occasionally wear masks to conceal their identities.

"Let's go."

Louise put on her mask first and led Rachel to the box upstairs in the opera house.

It was clear that Charles was a frequent visitor, as he led Louise and her companion into a private room with practiced ease.

Looking down, the square iron cage was already surrounded by a dense crowd of people.

They were all wearing masks and were shouting something excitedly.

"My goodness, this is so lively! What are they preparing for?"

Upon hearing Rachel's question, Charles gave a hesitant, forced smile.

He knew that his lively and innocent cousin aspired to be a reporter, so he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

"Rachel, listen up. Whatever you see here today, don't post it on Twitter, okay?"

"Don't worry, cousin, I'm not stupid."

Seeing Rachel's sly smile, Charles realized what was going on.

Sure enough, they shared the same bloodline.

"Ooh!"

At that moment, accompanied by a loud shout, a thunderous cheer erupted from below.

The three looked down curiously and found a strong, short-haired white man standing next to the hexagonal cage.

He was wearing Stars and Stripes-colored shorts, and had a burly build with large, muscular, bare upper body.

Powerful, handsome, and with that square face, he almost perfectly embodies the image of a standard American.

"He's a big star on this island!"

Charles looked at the man excitedly and said, "Mike! The invincible war god, the template for Superman!"

"Superman Mike?"

Rachel muttered something, looked Mike up and down for a moment, and said somewhat boredly.

"Well, it's alright, but it doesn't look as good as Ye's."

"leaf?"

Charles paused, then suddenly remembered the East Coast University boyfriend he had seen at the University of Washington, and felt a surge of anger.

"What are you talking about, Rachel? How can that guy possibly compare to Mike?"

"I reckon Mike could take him down with just one punch!"

"Tch, you guys know nothing. Ye doesn't even use his fists!"

Rachel argued indignantly.

She was now like a hobbit who had acquired the One Ring; only she knew how powerful Ye Chi was.

Little did he know, Louise, who was by his side, knew Ye Xiao inside and out.

Seeing that Charles and Rachel were arguing fiercely, she wanted to mediate.

But as her gaze swept down, a hint of surprise flashed in Louise's eyes, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly.

In the bustling audience below, a familiar figure was seen embracing another stunningly beautiful woman wearing a mask.

Even with a mask on, Louise could tell at a glance that the guy was definitely Ye Xiao.

So it seems they've infiltrated as well?

That's good, at least it saves her from having to go out and call for help.

As Superman Mike walked onto the stage, the atmosphere reached its peak, with cold fireworks even being set off on both sides.

"Is this an underground boxing match?"

Rachel pouted. "I didn't expect you guys to like watching this. It's so boring."

"No, this isn't some boring boxing game, this is gladiatorial combat!"

Charles exclaimed excitedly, "What's the point of wearing boxing gloves? It's no different from WWE!"

"These are real life-or-death battles. Mike has to fight four matches tonight, and then he'll have to fight alligators with his bare hands."

"Crocodile?"

Rachel was stunned for a moment, then quickly heard the host below speaking enthusiastically.

"Superman Mike's first opponent tonight is the giant Tucker!"

Amidst a chorus of boos, a tall figure draped in a black cloak walked to the opposite side of the hexagonal cage.

The man was nearly two meters tall and of African descent. He wore a red mask, had dark skin, thick lips, and his clear black and white eyes had an incongruous dullness. He looked completely at odds with his impressive nickname, as if he had been tricked into coming here.

Faced with all sorts of harsh insults, he simply stood there blankly on the stage.

"Are you kidding me?"

Rachel chuckled: "You guys aren't even going to put on an act, are you? What's the point of fooling an ordinary person onto the stage?"

"How could that be? It's only ordinary people who are interesting."

Charles chuckled and said, "You probably don't know how powerful an ordinary person can be when pushed to the limit."

"Besides, we won't make things difficult for him. Look, we've already given him a weapon."

"Ding-dong."

As the bell rang, weapons such as steel pipes, knives, and baseball bats were thrown onto the stage.

The giant Tucker glanced at the ground, then at Mike standing opposite him with a fierce look in his eyes, and suddenly felt as if he were being stared at by a wild beast.

Although he was a little taller than Mike, his height became a hindrance in front of Mike's terrifying muscles.

Fearful, Tucker trembled as he bent down to pick up the steel pipe from the ground.

However, just as he gripped the steel pipe, Mike suddenly rushed in front of him like a gust of wind, raised his hand and punched him hard in the face!

Tucker was so shocked by the punch that he saw stars and staggered back several steps before finally recovering a bit by leaning against the edge of the hexagonal cage.

Only then did he realize that half of his face was numb, and blood was flowing from his nose and the corner of his mouth.

He was almost killed by just one punch?

Seeing this, Charles couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, can't you hurry up? I bet he'd be killed within three punches!"

Before he could finish speaking, Mike pounced on him again.

Feeling threatened with death, Tucker instinctively swung the steel pipe in his hand and smashed it down hard.

However, when the steel pipe touched Mike's arm, it inexplicably bent at a 90-degree angle!

"My God!"

Rachel was startled and covered her mouth.

Louise was also surprised, not expecting Mike to be so powerful.

That's a stainless steel pipe. Most people would break their bones if they bumped into it. How could you possibly bend a steel pipe?

Is he still human?

Mike didn't stop moving, he didn't even frown, and threw a hook punch.

Poor Tucker was sent flying by a heavy beating, even his mask was torn, revealing a panicked face.

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

This pitiful face seemed to have aroused the bestiality in even more people.

Everyone present, including Charles, excitedly waved their fists and shouted.

Even though they were both human, I don't know what kind of hatred they had that they would beat someone to death in public like that.

The atmosphere in the entire venue quickly turned crazy.

Rachel bit her lip nervously, feeling her heart pounding and her scalp tingling.

Louise clenched her fists, sensing that something seemed amiss in her surroundings.

She subconsciously looked in Ye Xiao's direction below the stage, only to find that the familiar figure suddenly stood up and calmly walked towards the hexagonal cage.

In the midst of the frenzied atmosphere, that maverick figure quickly broke the merriment.

Because he was wearing a mask, no one could figure out his identity.

Is he the second challenger scheduled for tonight?

But why did they come out from the audience seats?

With a host of questions swirling in their minds, the audience widened their eyes, held their breath, and stared intently at Ye Xiao's figure.

The man pushed aside the bodyguards who tried to stop him and walked directly onto the stage, stopping in front of the tall black man, his voice low and hoarse.

"I'll save his life."

Upon hearing this voice, the half-conscious Black man stared wide-eyed in disbelief, his whole body trembling.

Eldridge Clifford, who was using the alias "Giant Tucker," never expected that his teacher, Ye Xiao, would save him once again.

Rachel above covered her mouth, unable to believe her ears.

Good heavens, Ye Chi really showed up?

Is this a dream?

"Who exactly are you?"

Mike was stunned for a moment, not expecting anyone to dare speak to him like that, and couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"Get out of my way, or I'll kill you right here too!"

Upon hearing this, the entire audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers, clearly very satisfied with the performance.

Mike was enjoying the cheers and was thinking about what harsh words to say when a detached voice rang in his ears.

"none of your business."

Before he could finish speaking, a loud, heavy slap followed.

With a loud "smack," the blow not only struck Mike's face but also resonated deeply with the entire audience.

Almost instantly, Mike's fair skin turned bright red, his muscles bulged all over his body, and his thick veins looked terrifying, like those of a centipede.

"He's finished."

Charles sneered, "I wonder which ignorant fool dared to provoke Mike."

"Rachel, I must say you guys are pretty lucky. On your first day here, you get to see Mike's signature move: tearing people apart with his bare hands."

"Oh, I don't think we might be able to see it."

As soon as Rachel finished speaking, Mike on stage suddenly roared.

"You're asking for it!"

He gritted his teeth, lowered his body, and transformed into a ferocious beast of the wilderness, his eyes wide with rage, his muscles so tense that his entire body made a cracking sound from his joints.

However, at that moment, a slender hand suddenly landed on the back of Mike's head.

The next moment, a terrifying force suddenly came down from above, pressing down as heavily as a 10,000-ton cargo ship.

Mike, who was as strong as a beast, was suddenly grabbed by the head by the mysterious masked man and slammed hard to the ground!
