Chapter 197 The Safe Deposit Box Service

Three million? Bai Ye didn't care!

Carrier pigeons? Bai Ye didn't know what they were!

However, 100 points of sin value, and it was an additional reward from the mission. This meant that if Bai Ye went to rob a bank, it would be a criminal act in itself, with sin value attached. On top of that, Bai Ye could still get an extra 100 points.

When he thought about it, it shouldn't be less than the sin value he could get from Commissioner Gordon, making it a very profitable deal.

On the other side, the Penguin was all smiles when Bai Ye agreed.

The Penguin felt he knew how to deal with these lunatics.

Money?

No, these lunatics didn't care about that at all.

The reason they were lunatics was because they enjoyed the process of committing crimes, or a sufficiently great challenge.

In the Penguin's opinion, it was clearly the laser engraver that had moved Bai Ye. This was a remarkable item, and being able to snatch it would give Bai Ye a strong sense of thrill, which was why Bai Ye agreed.

"Then, please!" The Penguin said with a smile, "We can discuss other matters in the car."

As the Penguin spoke, he led the way to the car. Once Bai Ye was seated next to him, the Penguin enthusiastically offered Bai Ye a cigar.

"Guns, explosives, manpower, cars, information, whatever you want, I'll give it to you," the Penguin said with a smile. "Tell me a time, when do you plan to make your move?"

Bai Ye asked, "What's the name of that bank?"

The Penguin replied, "Lex Bank, it's an industry of the Lex family."

Bai Ye asked, "Is it open now?"

"Of course!" The Penguin was stunned for a moment, then said, "It's daytime, of course the bank is open."

Bai Ye nodded and said, "Then let's go there now."

"Now?" The Penguin was surprised. "You're not planning to rob it right now, are you?"

"Robbing a bank is very simple, just walk in, tell them to hand over the goods, and then take them and leave," Bai Ye said, turning his head to look at the Penguin, a grin on his face. "As for a getaway car, let's use this one, and you can be the getaway driver. What do you think?"

The Penguin was stunned for several seconds, thoroughly shocked by Bai Ye's words.

Although he had met many lunatics, the Penguin felt that apart from those who had escaped from Arkham Asylum, this Asian man in front of him was undoubtedly the craziest he had ever seen.

This was robbing a bank, did he think it was going to a restaurant for a meal?

And, were you sure you knew what Lex Bank was?

That was a mob bank, and the Lex family was a notorious underworld family in the city of sin.

However…

"I like it!" The Penguin's expression became somewhat manic and excited, displaying his boldness as a gang boss. He looked at Bai Ye and said, "I'll have someone drive the car to the bank entrance right now. I'll watch you rob the bank from the entrance until you bring back the goods. I'll personally light your cigar and open the car door for you."

Bai Ye smiled, "It's my honor!"

The Penguin's heart also possessed a certain madness, and he actually ordered the car to be turned around.

Soon, the car stopped in front of a rather imposing bank.

The Penguin asked, "Do you need a gun?"

Bai Ye replied, "No need, that kind of thing is useless."

As Bai Ye spoke, he opened the car door and walked towards the bank.

He reached the entrance of the bank, looked up at the bank's sign, and then…

Clang!

A huge gashapon machine appeared, crashing down next to Bai Ye.

As the gashapon machine spun, two capsules quickly dropped out.

The first was a white capsule…

Bai Ye glanced at it; he was familiar with this thing.

Grenade Pack (Item) (White): Equipped with two Type 82-2 all-plastic fuzeless grenades, two SL01A smoke grenades, and two M84 stun grenades.

There were white, green, and blue quality grenade packs, all containing the same items, the main difference being the number of grenades included.

Overall, despite being white quality, the grenade pack was considered a cost-effective item among white quality items.

Then…

The second was a green capsule!

A look of confusion appeared on Bai Ye's face. Had he used up all his good luck in the Great Jungle?

However, after Bai Ye unscrewed the green capsule, a look of joy appeared on his face.

Bringer Fruit (Item) (Green): A fruit that all summoned beasts love. After consumption, it increases all attributes of the summoned beast by three points.

It wasn't exactly a treasure, but the key was that it was a buff item. After feeding it to a summoned beast, it could permanently increase attributes, just like when Bai Ye consumed the Mera Mera no Mi.

However, both capsules were items, and he hadn't gotten anything tangible…

The last capsule, using God Stone fragments to draw a golden one, would be too wasteful.

It was already evening, and the gashapon machine's draw count would reset at midnight. Bai Ye decided to use his last draw opportunity as well.

A moment later, as the gashapon machine spun, another green capsule appeared before Bai Ye.

Bai Ye opened it and said speechlessly, "What's wrong with today? Have I stumbled upon a treasure trove of items?"

Black Iron Lotus (Item) (Green): Tang Sect's thirty-seventh hidden weapon—Black Iron Lotus. Upon landing, the lotus opens, and eighty-one flying needles along with thirty-six lotus leaves explode simultaneously, possessing immense power.

Hidden weapons…

They looked decent, but items were a one-time deal.

Bai Ye scratched his head and sighed, "Let's just do it!"

Bai Ye drew from the gashapon machine for only one reason…

The hidden mission!

Since there was a mission, it definitely wouldn't be simple. This was different from Bai Ye blowing up the Investigation Bureau, which was a free-for-all. Therefore, to be safe, Bai Ye had still drawn from the gashapon machine.

However, his luck today seemed to be poor, and he hadn't drawn anything too useful…

But since he had drawn them, what else could he do?

Just do it!

Bai Ye thought to himself, then put away the gashapon machine and walked into the bank.

"Sir, are you here to deposit or withdraw, or do you require any other services?"

A female employee greeted him with a smile.

Bai Ye smiled and said, "Safe deposit box service."

The employee immediately replied, "Are you looking to deposit valuables in our safe deposit boxes for safekeeping? That's possible. Please come over here to complete the procedure. Are you looking for short-term or long-term storage?"

"No, you've misunderstood," Bai Ye said, pulling out his pulse pistols and raising them above his head, firing a shot. "I'm here to retrieve something from your safe deposit boxes."

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang…

As Bai Ye continued to pull the trigger, the surroundings immediately descended into chaos. Some people clutched their heads and screamed, while others fled towards the entrance.
