The bank's security guards immediately approached Bai Ye, carrying shotguns.
However, Bai Ye's reaction was clearly faster. Before they could open fire, Bai Ye pulled the trigger.
Bang, bang, bang…
Bai Ye fired continuously, pale blue beams of light shooting out, easily piercing through the guards' bodies and leaving bloody holes.
Soon, someone pressed the alarm, and the entire bank was filled with the blaring of sirens.
Bai Ye didn't care, expecting the Investigation Bureau to send someone.
But the Investigation Bureau was in ruins, busy rescuing people, and had no time for other matters.
Bai Ye pulled up a screaming bank employee who was crouching nearby, smiling and saying, "Didn't you say you wanted to serve me? So, could you show me the way? I'm the kind of customer without VIP status and no key to the safe, right?"
The employee stammered, "The, the, the safe is over there, but I, I don't have the key. The key is with our manager."
Bai Ye asked, "Where is the manager?"
The bank employee pointed to a middle-aged man hiding behind a potted plant in the corner.
Bai Ye smiled, released the employee, and strode towards the man.
But at that moment…
A gust of wind suddenly struck.
Bai Ye dodged sharply to the side, and a boomerang suddenly flew past his front, only to quickly spin in the air and slash towards Bai Ye from the flank.
Bai Ye casually drew his renowned blade, Bloodthirst, and swung it to the side.
Clang!
A crisp clash of metal sounded as the boomerang was deflected by Bai Ye's strike.
Bai Ye looked to the side and saw a tall, blond man standing there, with a slicked-back hairstyle, a muscular build, wearing a leather jacket and black leather pants.
Bai Ye asked, "Bank security?"
The other party shook his head.
Bai Ye then asked, "A bodyguard from the Lexx family?"
The other party shook his head again.
"My name is Owen Mercer, you can also call me Captain Boomerang," Owen said, taking out two new boomerangs. "A passing man of justice!"
Bai Ye showed a look of realization and smiled, "So, you're a busybody!"
The moment Bai Ye finished speaking, he suddenly drew one of his pulse pistols with his left hand and pulled the trigger towards Owen.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang…
Continuous blue beams of light appeared and shot forward.
However, Owen was quite agile, quickly running to the side and repeatedly ducking behind tables and chairs for cover!
The blue beams struck chairs, shattering them instantly. They hit tables, creating holes. The potted plant by the counter suddenly exploded, scattering dirt everywhere.
Suddenly, Owen peeked out from behind a desk, grabbed two boomerangs, and threw them at Bai Ye again.
Bai Ye stood still. The moment the boomerangs reached him, he reversed his grip on Bloodthirst and swept them left and right with force.
Clang, clang!
The two boomerangs were deflected by Bai Ye and embedded themselves in the pillars on either side.
But taking advantage of Bai Ye blocking the boomerangs and momentarily ceasing his firing, Owen suddenly flipped out from behind the desk and sprinted towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye glanced at Owen and grinned. Since there was a hidden mission, he knew it wouldn't be so easy to get the item. It wasn't unexpected to encounter such trouble.
After all…
He just needed to deal with it!
As Bai Ye thought this, venom began to manifest on his body.
The next moment, Bai Ye suddenly lifted his leg and swept it forward.
A large amount of purple venom was flung forward, transforming into a venomous dragon with its claws and teeth bared.
"Mutant?"
Owen was shocked and immediately lunged to the side, quickly dodging the incoming venomous dragon. He then looked back, and the venomous dragon made him gasp.
The moment the venomous dragon landed, a desk was instantly corroded and melted away. Even the ground emitted wisps of white smoke, and the marble floor was instantly pitted with small holes. If that had landed on him, Owen felt he would have instantly turned into a pile of bones.
And as Owen was still feeling the lingering fear…
"Hey, when you're fighting, you should keep your eyes on your opponent, or you'll suffer!"
Bai Ye's voice suddenly rang out.
Owen's heart leaped. He quickly turned his head and saw that Bai Ye had somehow appeared beside him.
Owen quickly reached for his boomerangs, but before he could even throw them, Bai Ye kicked his wrist.
Crack!
A crisp sound of bone breaking was heard.
Bai Ye's kick had easily broken Owen's wrist bone.
The next moment, Bai Ye gave Owen no chance. Bloodthirst was swiftly thrust to the side, piercing Owen's other arm and preventing him from retrieving any more boomerangs.
Owen's hands hung unnaturally at his sides, the intense pain twisting his face, and large beads of sweat constantly trickled down his forehead.
Bai Ye walked behind Owen and placed Bloodthirst at his throat.
"Don't be so meddlesome in your next life," Bai Ye said. "Not everyone can be a hero!"
Swoosh!
Bai Ye gripped the hilt and slashed, severing Owen's neck. A large amount of scarlet blood sprayed out, covering the ground!
Bai Ye released his grip, tossed Owen's body aside, then raised Bloodthirst and pointed its tip at the bank manager.
The bank manager was very sensible and quickly took out a key from his pocket and gestured to Bai Ye.
Bai Ye tilted his head and said, "Lead the way!"
Lexx Bank was indeed impressive in scale, with a vault of exceptionally high security, weighing hundreds of tons. The vault door was nearly half a meter thick. After it was opened, there were many smaller safes inside, each with its own independent password lock.
"Number 29!"
Bai Ye indicated, and the manager quickly opened the safe.
Bai Ye peered inside and took out two laser engraved plates sealed in protective film. Confirming they were correct, he turned and left the vault.
When Bai Ye returned to the bank lobby, as he had predicted, the alarm was still blaring, but there was no sign of any police response. The investigators from the Investigation Bureau were nowhere to be seen.
Furthermore, with Bai Ye's departure, the bank employees and customers had taken the opportunity to flee.
Bai Ye walked towards the bank entrance, preparing to leave.
But the moment Bai Ye reached the door…
Crash!
The glass door suddenly shattered, and then a round grenade flew in.
Bai Ye's pupils contracted, and he immediately ran back.
Boom!
An explosion sounded, and a huge fireball erupted, blasting debris around the bank entrance.
The next moment, a silver-haired man wearing a hunter's jacket, with a cigarette in his mouth and a submachine gun in his hand, walked into the bank and said, "Sorry, you can't leave here unless you leave the items behind."
