Chapter 245 Global Criminal Championship

"What did you say? Criminal reserves?" Stark was stunned by White Night's question.

"Yes, the criminal reserve, that is, how many death row inmates are still pending execution worldwide?" Bai Ye asked.

"About... 7," Stark immediately said, having Jarvis pull up the data.

Recently, because Bai Ye suddenly announced that he would rectify the problem of crime, he arrested a group of people to serve as examples, so there are still a lot of criminals who have not yet been executed.

"7 death row inmates? That's a bit too few," Bai Ye clicked his tongue in slight dissatisfaction.

"What do you want to do?" Stark asked, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.

"It's nothing, I just want to use the remaining criminal reserves to put on a live-streamed battle royale. We're all going to die anyway, so let's entertain the public."

Bai Ye's indifference to the Dao made Stark break out in a cold sweat.

But before he could speak, Bai Ye made the final decision: "It's settled then. A tournament of all kinds of criminals will be held in three days."

"The competition will be held in groups of one thousand people, covering areas such as sports, games, competitions, art, literature, cooking, and singing."

"After all, Li Bai once said, 'Everyone has their own unique talents.' Even if those death row inmates are the worst, they must still have a skill to be proud of."

"Each track is limited to 1,000 people, with 70,000 people spread across 70 tracks. The 999 who fail will be executed on the spot by firing squad. The one person who survives will stand out and receive my pardon, changing their death sentence to life imprisonment, and they may even have their sentence reduced later."

"What exactly do you want to do..." Stark said through gritted teeth.

However, despite his resolute tone, he was actually somewhat shamefully tempted by Bai Ye's suggestion.

After all, he was a world-renowned playboy who did whatever he wanted, and Bai Ye's suggestion just happened to hit right on his... nerves.

A death race, where the loser eats the dust and the winner is pardoned—this kind of life-or-death gamble is inherently adrenaline-pumping, and making it into a movie would be a huge hit.

Moreover, all the participants were death row inmates who were about to be executed by firing squad, and if they won, their sentences could be commuted to life imprisonment, which greatly reduced their sense of moral guilt.

Audience: We can watch criminals fight? Is there really such a good thing?!

Criminal: I got in here for murder, and I can get out if I kill someone again? Is that even possible?!

This game is just too damn exciting. Stark can already imagine the public outcry that will follow when this gets out.

"What do I want to do? I'm just bored and looking for something to do." Bai Ye said in an incredibly seductive tone, "Don't tell me you're not tempted, I don't believe you."

Stark: ...

Seeing that Stark was feeling guilty and didn't answer, Bai Ye smiled and said, "Alright, just tell Kingpin to take care of this."

With mixed feelings, Stark slowly nodded and said, "Alright, I'll pass on the message to Kingpin."

Hearing the phone hang up beside him, Stark suppressed his pounding heart, trying not to get too excited.

A minute later, Kingpin, who was vacationing at the beach, received the news and immediately sat up from his deck chair.

"Mr. Bai wants us to do this? Absolutely no problem! I'll inform Rodriguez right away. Three days, is that right? Sure, I'll have those superhumans mark out a few areas in Antarctica right away."

"Are criminals enough? I feel like their strength might not be enough for a fight. They wouldn't even blow up a few buildings. Mr. Bai might not find it exciting enough."

"How about I have Bullseye and the others kill a few people and commit crimes, then stuff them in to improve the quality and ceiling of the combat?"

"Don't want it? What a pity... Okay, sure, we can handle it all. Oh, and we'll need your AI to help out later. Hmm, let him be the referee."

Excitedly hanging up the phone, Kingpin nudged Rodriguez, who was sunbathing beside him, and said, "Get up, we have something to do, Mr. White's orders."

As soon as he finished speaking, Rodriguez, his face full of loyalty, scrambled to his feet and asked nervously, "Mr. Bai's orders? When did they arrive?"

"Just now, something big happened: the Global Criminal Death League."

……

Late at night, in a prison in the Southern Hemisphere, a middle-aged man in a black and white prison uniform with a stubble beard sat in a corner.

"Splash!"

As the iron gate was torn open, an officer walked in and said, "Yaris, I remember your ability is electromagnetic drive, right?"

"Is there something you need?" Yaris's voice was a little hoarse, and he didn't even bother to lift his head.

Because he was about to die, he had lost all will to live and didn't want to talk to the other person.

"I heard your electromagnetic drive can destroy a building in one blow. If it weren't for Professor X's mind control, you would almost certainly have escaped from the encirclement." The officer said, but received only silence in response.

The officer didn't mind Yaris's silence, but smiled and said, "Want to live? Here's a chance for you to survive."

"What do you mean?"

As soon as he finished speaking, just as the officer had expected, the other person immediately raised his head, his eyes filled with a desire to live.

The sergeant didn't speak, but grabbed a stack of forms, channeled his inner energy, and threw them at the other person.

Infused with his inner strength, Yalis casually grabbed the paper, which was as sharp as a knife, and then browsed it without any hindrance in the dimly lit room.

"What is this?" Yaris couldn't help but ask, looking at the form in front of him.

"That sir recently wanted to hold a multi-dimensional competition among prisoners, and the winner could have their death sentence commuted to life imprisonment."

The sergeant, seeing Yaris's eyes light up, continued, "With your strength, you have a great chance of winning in the superpower group. Don't let me down."

Yaris wasn't blinded by the good news, but continued, "Why are you so enthusiastic? Isn't this a good thing for you too?"

"Of course, the winning region will receive a huge influx of resources from President Kingpin over the next three years, and its path to advancement will be much smoother. This is great news for the entire region."

"There are over two hundred regions worldwide, but only about seventy spots are available for victory. And given the strength of the criminals in those five regions, at least half of the spots will be taken by them. We need to step up our efforts."

"So next, we will give you comprehensive special training. With your strength, it's not impossible for you to get first place."

"Once you receive your pardon, you will be awarded our Outstanding Criminal Medal."

"While I can't pardon you outright, if you behave well from now on, your life sentence can be reduced to ten years, ten years to three years, and three years to being a minor. Then you'll be released, won't you?"
