The traveling frog is living a carefree life in the Marvel universe.

"I'm giving you one last chance. I'll count to three..."

Mariko, hiding in the shadows, nervously grabbed Byakuya's arm and looked at him.

Although Shingen Yashida wasn't very good to her, he was, after all, her father, to whom she shared blood ties.

As for Aoki, he was her grandfather, whom she had known since childhood and who had always treated her well.

Mariko found it hard to watch them die.

however.

Mariko didn't know the extent of Byakuya's fighting prowess, or whether forcing Byakuya to save her father and Aoki would pose any danger to him.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine!"

Byakuya patted Mariko's hand.

These robbers are here to steal Yashida Industries' money, which currently belongs to Yashida Ichiro, and may later belong to Yashida Shingen. However, Yashida Shingen only has one daughter, Mariko, meaning that Yashida Industries' money will eventually belong to Mariko. So here's the question: given his relationship with Mariko, isn't Mariko's money essentially his money? In other words, these robbers are essentially here to steal his money.

Anyone who dares to steal Bai Ye's money without paying the price probably hasn't even been born yet.

These people picked the wrong targets to rob!

next moment.

Two grenades appeared in Bai Ye's hand, and he threw them over.

—The goods I bought from Knox haven't been used by Baiye for very long, so it's a good time to clear out the inventory.

Bai Ye was once a veteran of many battles, and his grenade-throwing skills were also quite good.

The grenade landed next to the two robbers.

Before they could even react...

"boom--!!!"

The grenade exploded, and a pile of mangled limbs and flesh, along with the smell of gunpowder, instantly filled the office.

Just as Hans and the others were stunned, Bai Ye and John McKlain instantly sprang into action, both standing up at the same time.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The two fired two shots in quick succession.

White Night took out both of his targets, but John McLean's marksmanship was a bit lacking, and he only managed to headshot one of his targets.

The other person, Hans, the leader of the robbers, reacted instantly and grabbed Yashida Shingen, who was standing in front of him, hostage.

He grabbed Yashida Shingen by the neck with one hand, pointed the gun at Yashida Shingen's temple, and roared:

Who are you?

He was playing a cat-and-mouse game a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, he was all alone here.

With the situation turning out this way so quickly, their plans are unlikely to continue.

John McLean aimed his gun at Shingen Yashida: "NYPD!"

Bai Ye shrugged and said, "I am Phil Coulson, a Level 6 Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Put down the hostages you hold, raise your hands and surrender, and you may still have a chance to live. If you resist stubbornly, you will only face death!"

John McLean shouted.

"Releasing the hostages I hold is a death sentence!"

Hans sneered, using Shingen Yashida's body as a shield between Byakuya and John McKellen's guns:

"Get out of my way, or I can't guarantee this person's safety!"

John McLean hesitated.

The police in the US are different from those in China.

The police in the Rabbit family have the obligation to protect the personal safety, personal freedom, and legal property of their citizens.

However, in the United States, the police only have the responsibility to uphold the law, not the obligation to protect citizens.

For example, if you are facing a life-threatening situation, the US police can choose to help or not; the decision is theirs. However, if you are assaulted or killed by a criminal, the police are obligated to arrest the perpetrator. But the police arrest the criminal not to avenge you, but simply because the criminal broke the law.

Of course, super-rich capitalists will definitely receive preferential treatment.

John McLean wasn't the kind of person who would fawn over big capitalists, but he still had the most basic conscience of a human being and didn't want to capture the two robbers in front of him.

"Mariko, are you alright?"

When Hans took Yashida Shingen hostage, Aoki also retreated to Byakuya's side. When he saw Mariko unharmed, he was overjoyed.

Although Aoki and Mariko's father, Yashida Shingen, had some disagreements, as a staunch supporter of Mariko's grandfather, Yashida Ichiro, he knew that Yashida Ichiro treated his granddaughter Mariko much better than his own son, Yashida Shingen. Therefore, the older generation of Yashida Industries had a very good relationship with Mariko.

“Grandpa Aoki, I’m fine,” Mariko said. “I went to the restroom earlier because of something, so I wasn’t caught.”

"That would be wonderful."

"Aoki said."

"This is not the time for idle chatter," Bai Ye said. "President Aoki, Mr. Yashida has been taken hostage. What should we do now?"

Aoki's eyes flickered slightly.

These veteran retainers did not have a good relationship with Yashida Shingen. Yashida Shingen had long disliked them, and it was estimated that once Yashida Ichiro kicked the bucket, these veteran retainers might be completely driven out of Yashida Industries by Yashida Shingen.

Of course, if that were all, Aoki wouldn't care much. Having worked with Yashida Ichiro for decades, Aoki's net worth was already over 100 million. Even if he was fired by Yashida Industries, he would have already earned enough money to last several lifetimes.

but……

Aoki couldn't help but glance at Mariko.

Ichiro Yashida doted on Mariko to the core, and the veterans of Yashida Industries had a very harmonious relationship with her. If Shingen Yashida were to die at this time, it would be highly likely that Mariko would take over the reins of Yashida Industries...

Mariko sensed that Aoki's gaze suddenly became very strange.

"Grandpa Aoki..."

Aoki quickly regained his composure, took a deep breath, and formally bowed to Bai Ye and John McKellen:

"Thank you for saving my life. I will remember it forever."

"But Shingen is the helmsman of our Yashida Industries, so please make sure he is safe."

He sighed inwardly: Mariko is still too young. Even with the help of veterans like them, she might not be able to manage such a large aircraft carrier as Yashida Industries. If Mariko were two years older, that would be wonderful. This is a golden opportunity...

Chapter 130 Madam, you don't want your husband to lose his job, do you?

At Aoki's insistence, John McLean eventually gave in and opened the exit for Hans from the office. However, he still held onto Kroger, otherwise, what if Hans turned the gun on him and shot him? He had no intention of dying for the capitalists.

Shingen Yashida's expression was stern and calm.

Even with a gun pointed at his temple.

From a young age, Shingen Yashida received strict training from Ichiro Yashida, and is proficient in kendo and combat. He can remain calm and composed in the face of any situation.

His steps followed Hans's, but he was constantly looking for Hans's weaknesses, attempting to turn the tables and defeat him in one fell swoop.

To be honest, Shingen Yashida felt that he was really unlucky.

If this robbery had happened in Japan, it certainly wouldn't have escalated to this point. And if it weren't for his big business deal with Pistolie, he wouldn't have overlooked security. His bodyguards didn't have suitable weapons, like samurai swords or firearms; otherwise, he wouldn't have been caught so easily.

Moreover, he really didn't expect that Hans and the others found him and Aoki not to extort money or to use them as shields, but to force Aoki to give them his computer password, threatening to kill him if he didn't give it to them... Didn't these bastards know that if they kidnapped Yashida Shingen and then extorted money from Yashida Industries, they could at least extort a hundred million US dollars?

Many unexpected events led to Shingen Yashida's tragic end as the heir to one of Japan's top zaibatsu.

"white night!"

Mariko nervously grabbed Byakuya's arm.

Watching helplessly as her father was taken away by robbers, Mariko couldn't help but feel that there was a high chance that her father would die.

Because Hans and his gang are not ordinary petty thieves, but real bandits with all kinds of heavy weapons and high-tech combat equipment. If Yashida Shingen fell into their hands, his chances of survival would probably be lower than if a few-year-old illegitimate child suddenly appeared in the night.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Byakuya patted Mariko's smooth little hand.

Although killing off her father-in-law, Shingen Yashida, would obviously be more beneficial to Mariko, Byakuya knew that Mariko's grandfather, Ichiro Yashida, was no better. So, if Shingen Yashida died now, Ichiro Yashida's malice would probably be directed at Mariko. Therefore, it would be better to let Shingen Yashida live and continue to protect Mariko.

"You don't need to be so nervous. Once I'm safe, I'll release Mr. Shingen. After all, we don't want to offend Yashida Industries, a behemoth that's famous all over the world."

Hans continued to offer words of reassurance.

He hid his head in the blind spot of White Night and John McLean's gun barrels, and moved carefully step by step until he reached the office door.

Perhaps feeling that the escape route was right in front of him, Hans decided to put on a show before leaving:

"Our meticulously planned year-long scheme has been ruined just like that. NYPD officers, and that Mr. Phil Coulson from S.H.I.E.L.D., I will certainly get my revenge, hahaha!"

next second.

A glint flashed in Shingen Yashida's eyes.

The opportunity is here.

Previously, because Hans was also a skilled hand-to-hand combat and firearms soldier, Yashida Shingen, despite his own abilities, did not dare to act rashly. However, Hans's idle chatter with Byakuya and John McKellen distracted him.

Shingen Yashida finally got the chance to turn the tables he had been waiting for.

He moved in an instant, his arm swinging toward Hans's wrist holding the gun.

It's fair to say that if Hans hadn't had a gun, and the two were fighting hand-to-hand, he was confident he could beat Hans to death.

Hans seemed surprised that the young master he had taken hostage was actually a skilled fighter, and his expression froze for a moment.

A smile played on Bai Ye's lips as he flicked his arm, and a bullet shot out of the gun barrel. It arced past Shingen Yashida, who was standing in front of Hans, and, to everyone's disbelief, pierced deep into Hans's eye. The bullet went through, and fragments of the eyeball and blood splattered everywhere.

Hans died instantly, his body stiff with death.

Many people think that being shot in the heart will result in immediate death. In fact, after a bullet hits the heart, the blood pressure in the blood drops rapidly, and the eyes will be temporarily blinded due to the low blood pressure. However, the oxygen and adenosine triphosphate in the blood can be maintained for about 7 to 10 seconds, and in some cases even for 20 seconds.

When a bullet hits the eye, it instantly penetrates the eye socket, which is only covered by a single layer of skin, and pierces the brain—the brainstem controls the autonomic nervous system, such as subconscious breathing, heartbeat, and intestinal peristalsis. Therefore, when a person is hit in the brainstem, they die immediately without even struggling!

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Shingen Yashida, whose face was grazed by a bullet from Byakuya and left with a deep bloody mark, was completely stunned.

That bullet was only 0.01 centimeters away from blowing his head off… I once had a perfect security system placed before me, but I didn't cherish it. Only when I lost it did I realize my regret. Nothing in this world is more painful than this. If God could give me another chance, I would say three words to that gunman: I'll fucking kill you! If I had to put a time limit on this hatred, I hope it would be… ten thousand years.
