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

Shingen Yashida's bodyguards are the elite of the elite. After being armed with firearms and other weapons, their combat capabilities are quite formidable. With John McLean protecting the company's hostages in front, they manage to avoid any major incidents along the way.

They quickly found a relatively safe place to house the hostages.

"What should we do now?" Aoki asked. "Stay here and wait for the NYPD to attack?"

Shingen Yashida snorted coldly and said, "If we're going to rely on those NYPDs, we might as well just wait to die here!"

They witnessed firsthand how an ESU squad and an armored vehicle were wiped out before they could even last a single round. How could Shingen Yashida possibly place his hopes on them?

This isn't the way to seek death.

Psylocke said, "Perhaps we can take the initiative and launch a coordinated attack from both inside and outside the building, using the NYPD's inside and outside forces to wipe out the remaining robbers."

To be honest, she wasn't exactly known for her good temper. These robbers dared to cause trouble for her company, so they had to bear the consequences.

If it weren't for the fact that her company employees were taken hostage, she could have easily killed all the robbers on her own.

John McLean glanced back at the huddled hostages and said:

"Then what about them?"

Shingen Yashida: "Then leave some people to protect them. My bodyguards are the most elite warriors. Once they get their hands on firearms, their combat power will definitely be above those robbers. There won't be any problems having them protect these employees."

"Let's do it this way!"

Bai Ye smiled and said:

"Otherwise, staying here and waiting for rescue is pointless, and if some lunatic comes with a C4 bomb to try and take us all down with him, it would be embarrassing for us."

The group reached a consensus: Bai Ye, Ling Die, Yashida Shingen, and John McKlain would team up to deal with the robbers.

Mariko, Aoki, and the other hostages waited for the situation to end under the protection of bodyguards.

Byakuya was not worried about Mariko's safety.

Because the Yashida family's bodyguards would definitely prioritize protecting Mariko, and Mariko also has the walkie-talkie left behind by Hans and the others, so if she encounters danger, she can just say the word and Byakuya can rush back at any time.

Bai Ye and the others all chose weapons that suited them. After killing so many robbers, they were no longer short of weapons.

Psylocke also chose a submachine gun—she naturally wouldn't reveal her mutant identity unless absolutely necessary. In fact, Psylocke's marksmanship is also excellent, and coupled with her extraordinary reaction speed and agility, she is still a super-powerful female assassin.

John McLean was about to descend the stairs when White Nights said:

"Wait a minute, we think it's necessary to go to the elevator."

"why?"

John McLean asked in bewilderment:

"They've taken control of the elevator. It's too dangerous to use it. If we're not careful, they'll kill us all inside."

"Trust me, come with me, and you'll see."

Bai Ye smiled softly.

They were at the very front.

John McLean and Shingen Yashida exchanged a glance and reluctantly followed behind Byakuya.

Based on what I've heard so far, Bai Ye seems to be reliable overall.

So of course we have to give them some face.

Of course, if Bai Ye really does something that seriously defies their common sense, they should still oppose it.

Arrived at the elevator entrance.

John McLean and Shingen Yashida were immediately startled, their hearts nearly leaping out of their throats.

Because a large bundle of C4 bombs was placed at the elevator entrance.

If these C4 bombs were to explode, it is estimated that most of the floor would be affected.

"How come there are so many C4 bombs here?"

John McLean was horrified and swallowed hard.

It's safe to say that if these bombs had been detonated at that moment, those who were so close to them would have had no chance of survival.

"The bombs here were all dismantled from that room after you left. I believe everyone has their own unique talents, and these bombs are of very good quality. It would be a shame to waste them."

Bai Ye shrugged and said.

John McLean: "..."

Yashida Shingen: "..."

The quality is so good, it's a waste to waste it. This stuff isn't toilet paper, it's a death warrant that could kill us!

"Bai Ye, what are your thoughts?"

Psylocke glanced at him.

Based on Psylocke's understanding of White Night, he was a cunning and treacherous young man, and certainly not someone who had gathered these C4 bombs together to commit suicide.

"Hehe." Bai Ye chuckled slyly, took out a detonator, and said, "I got this from Hans before. If I'm not mistaken, this is for detonating these C4 bombs. So, if we throw these bombs into the elevator shaft and detonate them, what do you think will happen?"

John McLean instantly understood.

On the first floor of this building, there were a large number of robbers confronting the NYPD, and they also had a lot of heavy weapons, so even the ESU team and armored vehicles were taken down by them.

With so many C4 bombs, if thrown onto the first floor and detonated, at least half of the robbers on the first floor would be wiped out, and their defenses would be destroyed. Then the NYPD could easily finish off the remaining robbers and wipe them out.

Among the bandits, the leader Hans and other high-ranking members were killed in the first wave of attacks, along with the bandits armed with heavy weapons. So it can be said that the main force of these bandits has been almost completely wiped out, leaving only a few small fry scattered in the building, who are not worth worrying about.

This major incident can basically be considered resolved.

"Bai Ye, you're simply a fucking genius!"

John McLean said, slightly excited.

He's had enough of this mess and would be happy if it could be resolved quickly.

Besides, Holly has children at home waiting for her to take care of them!

After John McClain and his wife Holly separated, the children lived with Holly, while John McClain lived alone.

"Do I need you to tell me I'm a genius?"

Bai Ye rolled her eyes, pointed at the elevator door, and said:

"I've already given you the way to break the deadlock; now it's your turn to do the hard work."

"no problem!"

John McLean was very motivated and immediately found tools to pry open the elevator door.

As John McLean pried open the elevator doors with an iron bar, everyone stood before them and saw a dark, seemingly unfathomable elevator shaft below.

"Alright, it's time to give them a good beating."

Bai Ye, carrying a C4 explosive pack, stood in front of the elevator shaft and threw it down.

谷勲

moment.

He pressed the detonator.

"BOOM—!!!"

With a loud bang, a wave of intense heat surged from the first floor, and billowing smoke rose into the air like a sandstorm, accompanied by a dazzling display of scarlet flames, resembling alluring and beautiful spider lilies vying for attention.

The deafening explosions continued, walls collapsed one after another, and shattered reinforced concrete rained down like a meteor shower, mercilessly striking the fleeing bandits.

Crimson blood splattered everywhere, splashing onto the shattered glass curtain wall, resembling blooming red roses, dazzling and alluring.

The building seemed to be on the verge of collapse, and the flames seemed to pierce through the sky.

Bai Ye and the others, who were on the 30th floor, stood in front of the elevator shaft and immediately saw a huge flame leap from the first floor to them. It was easy to imagine how powerful that bundle of C4 bombs was.

The explosion was deafening, flames and thick smoke shot into the sky, and the air was filled with a suffocating, pungent smell.

"I originally thought we were going to have a tough battle, but now it seems that it's over before it even started."

Psylocke shook her head with considerable regret.

With that C4 bomb, there's probably no chance of any survivors on the first floor.

With intermittent explosions, thick plumes of black smoke billowed out, and debris and fragments flew everywhere like arrows.

A series of muffled thuds were mixed with piercing shrieks that seemed to tear through the air. The earth seemed to tremble, and blazing flames leaped about wildly, tongues of fire licking at the nearest objects.

The NYPD, who was on the first floor confronting the bandits, felt a strange, pungent smell amidst the thick black smoke from the explosion. The smoke was so thick that it made his eyes water and he coughed incessantly.

The ubiquitous flames almost scorched people's hair and eyebrows, and the scorching heat waves rushed towards them like a tidal wave.

Bai Ye: "See? I told you their C4 bombs were of good quality and it would be a waste to use them, right? The quality is really quite good. I wonder if they made them themselves. If they did, they could definitely have a bright future as arms dealers instead of being robbers."

John McLean and Shingen Yashida exchanged a glance, feeling more speechless than ever before in their lives—their originally completely different ways of thinking had somehow reached a consensus countless times because of Byakuya.

These bandits encountering such a person can be considered as them paying the price for their sins in their past lives.

John McLean: "We were originally going to clean up the rest of the robbers, but now... are we still going?"

“I’m not going,” Psylocke said. “There aren’t many robbers left, so let the NYPD handle it.”

To be honest, killing those few small fry wouldn't even cover her appearance fee.

Shingen Yashida silently put away his gun. He was determined to face danger and die, but he was too lazy to participate in unnecessary battles. After all, he was the heir to a top Japanese conglomerate, not a mercenary earning a living through blood and sweat.

"Alright, it'll be good to go back and protect Mariko and the others," Bai Ye said. "I didn't expect these C4 bombs to be so powerful."

then.

The group turned back.

When Mariko saw Byakuya and the others return, she quickly went up to them and asked:

"Why are you back again?"

"Was it because of that huge explosion just now?"

The violent explosion was deafening; Mariko and the others could hear it and even felt the building shake to some extent.

"The explosion just now was caused by us, don't be afraid," Bai Ye said loudly. "We went back to the previous room, collected all the C4 bombs that the robbers had planted, and then threw them down to the first floor through the elevator shaft and detonated them."

"So most of the robbers have been taken care of. Now all we have to do is wait for the NYPD to clear their names. You're all safe now."
