Chapter 198 So It Was Meddling

The bank's security guards immediately approached Bai Ye with shotguns.

However, Bai Ye's reaction was clearly faster. Before the other party could open fire, Bai Ye had already pulled the trigger.

Bang, bang, bang...

Bai Ye fired continuously, pale blue beams of light flying out, easily piercing through the bodies of the guards and leaving bloody holes.

Soon, someone pressed the alarm, and the entire bank was filled with sirens.

Bai Ye didn't care, expecting the investigation bureau to send people?

The investigation bureau was currently in ruins, busy with rescue efforts and had no time for other matters.

He grabbed a screaming bank employee who was cowering nearby and smiled, "Didn't you want to serve me? So, can you show me the way? However, I'm a customer without VIP status, and I don't have a safe deposit box key. That should be fine, right?"

The employee stammered, "The, the, the safe deposit box 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 this moment...

A gust of wind suddenly struck.

Bai Ye sharply dodged to the side, and then a boomerang whizzed past in front of him. It quickly spun in the air and then slashed towards Bai Ye from the side.

Bai Ye drew his famous sword, Bloodthirst, and swung it to the side.

Clang!

A crisp clash rang out as the boomerang was knocked away by Bai Ye's sword.

Bai Ye glanced to the side and saw a tall, blond man standing there. He had a slicked-back hairstyle, a burly physique, and wore a leather jacket with black leather pants.

Bai Ye asked, "Bank security?"

The man shook his head.

Bai Ye then asked, "A bodyguard from the Lex family?"

The man 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 revealed 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...

Blue beams of light appeared consecutively and shot forward.

However, Owen was extremely agile. He quickly ran to the side and continuously jumped behind the surrounding tables and chairs to evade.

The blue beams of light struck chairs, instantly shattering them, hit tables, leaving holes in them, and a potted plant by the counter suddenly exploded, sending soil flying everywhere.

Suddenly, Owen peeked out from behind a desk, grabbed two boomerangs, and threw them at Bai Ye again.

Bai Ye stood still. As the boomerangs reached him, he gripped Bloodthirst in reverse and swept them left and right forcefully.

Clang, clang!

The two boomerangs were knocked away by Bai Ye and embedded in the pillars on either side.

But taking advantage of Bai Ye blocking the boomerangs and momentarily stopping his gunfire, Owen suddenly sprang from behind the desk and ran rapidly towards Bai Ye.

Bai Ye glanced at Owen and grinned. Since he had been given a hidden mission, he knew it wouldn't be so easy to get the item. Having such trouble was not unexpected.

Anyway...

He just had 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 sprayed forward, transforming into a venomous dragon with its fangs bared and claws extended.

"Mutant?"

Owen exclaimed in shock, then lunged to the side, narrowly dodging the venomous dragon. He looked back and gasped.

As the venomous dragon landed, a desk was instantly corroded and melted. White smoke even rose from the ground, and small holes appeared in the marble floor. If it had landed on him, Owen felt he would have turned into a pile of bones in an instant.

While Owen was still shaken...

"Hey, when you're fighting, you should keep an eye on your opponent, or you'll suffer!"

Bai Ye's voice suddenly rang out.

Owen's heart jolted, and he quickly turned his head. He then found that Bai Ye had appeared beside him at some unknown time.

Owen quickly took out his boomerang, but before he could even throw it, Bai Ye kicked his wrist.

Crack!

A clear bone-cracking sound echoed.

Bai Ye's kick easily broke Owen's wrist bone.

The next moment, Bai Ye gave Owen no chance. Bloodthirst swiftly stabbed to the side, piercing Owen's other arm, preventing him from drawing any more boomerangs.

Owen's hands hung unnaturally at his sides, the intense pain distorting his expression. Large beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.

Bai Ye walked behind Owen and held Bloodthirst to his throat.

"Don't be so meddlesome in your next life," Bai Ye said. "Not everyone can be a hero!"

*Splat!*

Bai Ye gripped the hilt of the sword and drew it across, severing Owen's neck. A large spray of bright red blood gushed out, staining the ground!

Bai Ye released his grip, tossed Owen's body aside, and then raised Bloodthirst, tapping the bank manager with the tip of the blade.

The bank manager, being wise enough to know when to yield, quickly took a key from his pocket and gestured towards Bai Ye.

Bai Ye tilted his head and said, "Lead the way!"

Lex Bank was indeed a large institution, and the vault had a very high security level. It weighed hundreds of tons, and the vault door was nearly half a meter thick. After opening it, there were many smaller safe deposit boxes inside, each with its own independent password lock.

"Number 29!"

Bai Ye indicated. The manager quickly opened the safe deposit box.

Bai Ye peered inside and took out two laser engraved plates wrapped in sealing film. After confirming they were correct, he turned and left the vault.

When Bai Ye returned to the bank lobby, as he had expected, the alarm was still blaring, but there was no police presence to deal with the situation. Not a single investigator from the bureau could be seen.

Moreover, with Bai Ye's departure, the bank employees and customers had taken the opportunity to flee.

Bai Ye walked towards the bank's main 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 large fireball erupted, blasting away everything around the bank entrance.

The next moment, a silver-haired man wearing a hunter's jacket, a cigarette dangling from his lips, and holding a submachine gun, walked into the bank. "Sorry, you can't leave here unless you leave the item behind."
