Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 329 You Have No Evidence

In Chaos City, there are many people like Bai Yang who appear to be at the Domain Lord level.

He walked up the street without encountering any obstacles.

Soon, the all-white bank building came into view.

When Bai Yang walked to the main entrance, he saw that the bank was bustling with people coming and going.

He swaggered in and entered the lobby on the first floor.

As before, several attractive female employees in uniforms immediately approached him, ready to strike up a conversation.

But they didn't find the woman named Hurley.

"Hello, sir, how may I help you?"

The short-haired beauty closest to him asked in a sweet, cloying voice.

Bai Yang glanced at her; she was a pink-haired beauty who looked exactly like an Earthling.

They should be the purest indigenous people here.

"Three-star customer."

I am filing a complaint against this branch regarding two issues: [information security] and [personal safety].

Bai Yang ignored him and spoke those words in a very calm tone.

At the same time, he took out his bank account number and held it in the air.

Upon hearing this, the faces of several bank employees near him instantly changed color.

His eyes widened immediately, and he retreated in near terror.

Suddenly, a small drone appeared in the sky above the hall and flew near Bai Yang.

Then, a beam of red light emanated from the center and scanned his bank card.

"Authorization verified! Proceeding to the complaint process."

The intelligent program takes over the bank's security system.

All essential staff must remain in their positions and are not permitted to leave without authorization!

A mechanical voice instantly echoed throughout the entire hall.

This gave all the staff and other customers who came to do business a big fright.

Ten of those brown, metallic robots suddenly appeared in the hall, firmly protecting Bai Yang in the center.

He could tell at a glance that these mechanical bodyguards had the ability to delay attacks from peak Domain Lord level beings.

Everyone felt that something big was about to happen; most of the customers who came here to conduct business were local residents.

Regardless of whether their business had been completed or not, they all chose to abandon it and rushed to escape.

Only a few outsiders stayed behind with great interest, wanting to see how things would develop.

They were well aware of the meaning of a three-star customer representative, which represented assets worth 10 mixed units.

Cultivators generally have more trust in their spatial rings, or they may even turn them into their own power, thus acquiring a sum of spare money.

Generally speaking, only relatively wealthy realm lords would deposit so much money in a single bank.

A domain lord who can produce such a thing clearly has a good background.

"Dear customer, please follow us to the meeting room on the fifth floor."

An elderly man with short gray hair walked briskly down the stairs, speaking as he approached Bai Yang.

Behind him followed a fat man with four arms.

Bai Yang's [Inspiration] and perception abilities were activated instantly.

Even though the other party concealed it very well, he instantly sensed a strong sense of malice emanating from the obese man.

Who are you?

Bai Yang did not agree, but instead asked the old man who was leading the group.

"Dear customer, we are very sorry!"

I am Barnard, the bank's president, and this gentleman behind me is Mr. Benson, the bank's vice president.

We will assist you in handling this complaint.

Bai Yang chuckled:

"Good assistance. Then I request that it be handled here."

Barnard bowed deeply in apology without hesitation.

"Of course. Your request comes first."

Benson, standing behind him, had a strange glint in his eyes and bent down without hesitation.

"His appearance has changed! This person really does have the ability to alter his appearance."

It is almost impossible for two three-star customers to appear in a short period of time.

As the vice president, Benson immediately checked the account information and learned that the two people were actually the same person.

Bai Yang stood in the center of the hall, outwardly looking at Barnard, but actually focusing 70% of his attention on observing Benson.

He asked slowly, "After I left last time, my identity was exposed."

I demand to question the previous clerk, Heather.

Before President Barnard could even speak, the drone overhead automatically began to speak:

"Hui Litt, Level 1 Clerk. She resigned five days ago and has left the industry."

Everyone present was taken aback.

The onlookers were all excited and discussing the spectacle.

The bank employees all looked distressed; things were really getting complicated.

"Can you get in touch with me?"

Barnard pressed on, his face grim.

"The other party did not answer," the drone mechanically replied.

"Contact all her family members!"

Barnard roared, his voice filled with urgency.

For a full minute, the drone did not respond.

The entire bank lobby was quiet; everyone was waiting for the answer.

After a long while, the drone overhead finally spoke again.

None of her relatives responded.

We have already requested assistance from Virtual Universe Company and will be reviewing their internet browsing history.

Bai Yang's face was full of sneers; the matter was obvious.

Regardless of who the other party was, they seemed to handle things very cleanly.

But he refused to believe that a group of natives who had never been to space could play an intelligence war with him!

"Star Guardian, look up this Benson."

"Let's see if we can hack into his personal terminal?"

"I'll give it a try."

These worshippers of the Prison Clan have a need to avoid the surveillance of the virtual universe.

Therefore, the optical computers we have all have some problems.

Star Guardian might be able to hack in using this method.

"Virtual Universe Corporation called back, to Hurley and her family."

There has been no record of logging into the virtual universe since five days ago.

Two minutes later, the drone overhead spoke again.

Five days without internet access is almost impossible, even for native humans.

Bai Yang looked at Barnard and Benson and sneered.

"It can be basically concluded that this is your bank's responsibility, right?"

"I'm very sorry! This was a mistake on our part."

You can discuss any needs you may have with our branch manager.

Barnard was sweating profusely; he had never encountered such a predicament before.

If this matter blows up, even he, the bank president from outer space, won't have a good time.

Just then, Benson suddenly said something in a low voice.

"Sir, perhaps you leaked the information elsewhere."

There is no evidence to prove that it was entirely our fault.

Our own employees are also victims.

I thought I had handled the situation very well.

Benson spoke with great confidence.

Many of the indigenous bank employees around looked on with joy and anticipation.

"Yes. How can you be so sure it's our problem?"

"The outsider bank manager is too weak and too cowardly!"

Bai Yang smiled and turned to Benson, asking:

"Mr. Benson, do you know this woman, Hurley?"

"certainly."

Benson said nonchalantly.
