Getting stronger and stronger starting from Marvel.

Chapter 22 I'm just a fitness enthusiast

At this moment, Director George outside the bank is facing a dilemma.

On one hand, they had to agree to the kidnappers' request, compromise with them, let them leave, and then rescue the other hostages.

On the other hand, they might take a hard line and launch a direct assault, which could result in huge casualties.

But regardless of the method used, the end result is a huge blow to the credibility of the New York Police Department.

He personally prefers the first method, as it would be the best way to preserve the hostages.

As for the robbers, George, who knew the powerful forces behind the bank, had no doubt about their fate.

However, his superiors directly demanded over the phone that a tough approach be taken against the robbers, and that there be no room for retreat.

While he was taking a few minutes to make his decision, a series of gunshots rang out from inside the bank, putting George on edge.

Because the robbers had destroyed all the surveillance cameras inside, he was unaware of the situation inside and assumed that the robbers were impatiently urging him on.

Meanwhile, the belated negotiation expert was speaking into the microphone: "Listen up, people inside! We are preparing your demands. Do not harm the hostages. We can discuss any issues you may have."

Inside, Bai Ye, covered in blood, listened calmly to the announcements outside and waited for customer service to count the cash in his suitcase and deposit it into his account. This money was now officially under the bank's management, and he would not be held responsible for anything that happened afterward.

After dealing with all that, Bai Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the blood off his face, washed his hands briefly at the sink, and then calmly pushed open the bank door and walked out.

The police officers who had been waiting anxiously outside were already getting impatient. When they saw someone come out, they all looked over, only to find that it was the same Asian youth who had come out.

However, compared to his previous clean black and white checkered shirt, Bai Ye's white clothes were now covered with large patches of blood red, making him look as if he had just walked out of a battlefield of carnage.

George's heart skipped a beat, almost convinced that the robbers inside were massacring the hostages, but Bai Ye slowly raised the phone and said, "Officer, everything's alright now. The robbers have all been killed. You can come over now."

"What do you mean?" George listened to the voice on the walkie-talkie, wondering if he had misheard.

"You're too slow. I've already killed the robbers. You can come and close the net now," Bai Ye repeated.

"You...beat...beat him to death?" The officers next to the walkie-talkie were all stunned.

"I think I killed most of them, but there was one left who was shot and unable to fight back, so I didn't attack him." Bai Ye used more careful words.

After saying that, he gently tossed the phone aside and walked toward the police. As he approached, a strong smell of blood wafted over, causing the nearby officers to frown.

Although completely bewildered, George still went to greet Bai Ye when he saw her approaching. Soon, a police officer came over to help her up, but Bai Ye stopped him, saying, "There's no need. I'm not injured."

And that was indeed the case; if his bones and muscles might have shattered from the excessive force, then so be it.

But just before the battle began, he had already allocated all 0.2 attribute points to Constitution, achieving a balance between Strength and Defense.

White Night's current panel is:

Name: Bai Ye

Lifespan: 18/400

Strength: 1.5+0.2

Physical fitness: 1.5+0.2

Spirit: 1.5+

Charisma: 1.4+

Attribute points to be used: 0.1

……

"A generous gift of crab!!!"

"Wang Defa???"

Oh my god...

At this moment, the police officers who rushed into the bank to investigate exclaimed in shock as they saw the bursts of blood inside.

Hearing the sounds coming from inside, George thought they were making a fuss over nothing, so he went in as well, and the next moment he couldn't help but gasp.

Scattered corpses, spilled brain matter, sunken faces, torn bodies, and a small, pitiful, and helpless hostage huddled in a corner.

Here, all the visible human organs are scattered on the ground.

George, pale-faced, left the bank. After ordering the police to cordon off the area and prevent any media from entering, he looked at Bai Ye seriously and said, "Did you really kill those people inside? Are you a mutant?"

"No, I'm just a fitness enthusiast." Bai Ye didn't readily accept the other party's reason, since these people would definitely conduct a physical examination and blood test when they investigated later, and this lie would be exposed.

"Are you kidding me? What kind of fitness enthusiast could tear a person in half with their body?"

"Chief, I'm the victim. Isn't your tone a bit inappropriate?" Bai Ye looked up and retorted, "In this situation, as long as it's for legitimate self-defense, even if I chop them into mincemeat, it wouldn't be a problem, would it?"

George was speechless at Bai Ye's words. After all, what Bai Ye said was indeed correct. Judging from the situation at the scene, Bai Ye had no connection with the robbery and his actions were indeed legitimate self-defense.

In this situation, they can at most conduct some questioning and interrogation, but they cannot restrict his personal freedom too much.

Just as Bai Ye was squatting on the chair contemplating his bad luck for the day, the reporters who had been watching outside for a long time could no longer sit still and rushed up with cameras and microphones.

Bai Ye looked at the numerous reporters and their cameras surrounding him, and said with a gentle smile, "Could you ask me questions one by one? I can't answer everyone's questions at once."

"I'm a reporter from the Daily Bugle, and I want to know what happened inside the bank. Why are you covered in blood when you came out?"

"All the blood on my body comes from the robbers. In fact, the situation just now was extremely dangerous. Faced with the robbers' coercion, I had no choice but to fight back. I barely managed to kill them all after a near-death experience," Bai Ye explained.

In this situation, it is necessary to define the nature of public opinion, otherwise who knows how it will end up being spread.

"You? Killed all the robbers? And then walked out unharmed?" The reporters and viewers watching the live stream were all dumbfounded.

"Yes, the whole process was really thrilling. If I hadn't been careful, I would have been riddled with bullets."

"Excuse me, are you a mutant?" the reporter asked, raising his hand in confusion.

"Of course not. I am human. The reason I became so strong is simply because I have a habit of exercising," Bai Ye said.

"Are you sure an average human being could kill several armed robbers single-handedly without sustaining a scratch just by working out?"

"Of course, with the right amount of training, you can also reach my level."

George, somewhat exasperated, stood in front of the reporters to shield Bai Ye, using official language to deflect their questions, while having other officers take Bai Ye away for a statement and physical examination.

Inside a hospital in downtown New York City, Matthew lay leisurely on his bed, but he could hear Amy's footsteps echoing in the hallway as she left her room.

"What's going on? Why is Amy back again?" Matthew asked, puzzled. Amy opened the door excitedly and said, "Hey Matthew, we found that passerby we were talking about yesterday."

"yesterday?"

"It's that super handsome young man in your friend's drawing! Let me tell you, he's even more handsome in real life than in the drawing," Amy said excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Matthew immediately remembered, "Isn't that the guy who shot off all his limbs? Where did you see him?"

"On TV."

Matthew exclaimed in surprise, "Ah! On TV?"

"Yeah, I heard he just single-handedly took down a robbery gang."

Matthew: ...
