"Don't worry, we're here. We can definitely solve this problem! What is the situation inside? How many criminals are there? Please tell us in detail!" Homelander smiled and asked the policeman who came up to him!
"There are more than ten criminals, each of them armed with guns. Some of them have bombs strapped on them, with dead man switches. If they trigger it, the explosion would kill everyone in the bank!" The policeman answered Homelander's question.
"Okay, I understand. Don't worry and leave it to us. Also, ask your people to step back a little to avoid accidents!" Homelander said confidently, a fake smile on his face. Li Yue followed him silently behind!
"Okay, I understand. I will go and tell them to retreat!" The police officer replied before turning around and ordering his men to leave.
The police officers retreated dozens of meters from the bank.
Homelander grabbed Li Yue and rushed toward the bank in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, Li Yue found that he and Homelander had already arrived in an empty room within the bank. Homelander was much faster than A-Train!
"There is a total of twelve criminals inside. I'll leave them to you. Can you do it? Dealing with them means rescuing dozens of hostages. Your popularity would skyrocket, and after a little while, you wouldn't have to tag with me anymore!"
Homelander used his X-ray vision to look inside the bank's halls. He told Li Yue about what he saw, but he didn't intend to do anything by himself.
He instead told Li Yue the criminals' locations and told Li Yue to deal with them! He only considered about rapidly popularity growing Li Yue's popularity!
Li Yue was speechless when he heard Homelander's words. I really don't need to be popular. My real purpose is to follow you!
"Okay, I understand. Leave it to me!"
Obviously, Li Yue couldn't say all that out loud to Homelander, nor could he refuse Homelander's "goodwill." He helplessly agreed to Homelander's proposal!
...
Li Yue didn't barge right in like before; there were still hostages. If he just wander in, the criminals would probably detonate their bombs and kill all their hostages along with themselves!
Li Yue activated the God of Thunder state instead. He gathered the silver electric arcs that enveloped his body onto his right palm.
The electric arcs behaved like small snakes, squirming in Li Yue's palm as if they had their own mind!
To kill all those criminals in a single blow, Li Yue needed to carefully observe the situation with his X-ray vision. Of course, while hiding it from Homelander!
The criminals herded the hostages through the hall. The hostages were squatting, with their hands behind their heads! Several armed criminals guarded their routes, while others gathered to discuss something!
These gangsters were all wearing masks, exposing only their eyes. Their faces were completely hidden, but for Li Yue's X-ray vision, the masks might as well don't exist! But Li Yue didn't recognize these faces anyway!
"Boss, we messed up. I didn't expect the police to surround us so quickly! What should we do?"
One of the gangsters spoke in a hurry!
"Damn, what are you afraid of? We have so many hostages in our hands. Even the police won't dare to charge us!"
A figure with a remote control in his hand cursed!
"But boss, what if the police called the Seven? If Homelander comes here, we couldn't escape!"
"Hah, if he comes here, just blow up the bombs! Let's die together!
It was a wonder where the criminal boss got his confidence from. He thought that he would have a chance to detonate the bomb in front of Homelander!
...
Li Yue was loath to listen to any more of this nonsense. In any case, the figure holding the remote control was the closest to Li Yue!
When Li Yue found the right time, he charged into the hall and appeared almost instantly in front of the person with the remote control and bombs strapped to his body. The criminal could only see a blur as a fist the size of a sandbag was closing into his face!
Li Yue didn't hold his punch against the man's head. The man fell to the ground, though with his head intact. Li Yue wasn't that cruel.
However, despite the intact skull, Li Yue wasn't sure if the man was still alive or not. He wanted to incapacitate the criminal immediately, so he had to use some strength!
Li Yue didn't stop with just that man. He waved his right hand at a criminal, shooting one of the silver snake-like lightning in his hand. Like a living creature, the lightning snake accurately jumped to the next criminal!
Boom!!!
A dozen criminals fell to the ground in quick succession, almost at the same time. It was unknown whether they were alive or dead.
It took ten seconds before the hostages in the hall realized what just happened. They turned all their eyes at Li Yue.
"Well, you're all saved! Get up!"
Li Yue said with a smile to the group of hostages squatting on the ground.
"Who needs an Asian like you to save us?! We want Homelander! We want Queen Maeve!"
Li Yue's smile froze when he heard the shameless voice from the hostages!
Li Yue looked over and saw that it was a young white man!
"Yeah! We don't need an Asian to save us. We want Homelander! Get out of here and ask Homelander to save us!"
"Get out, get out, get out..."
A few white men suddenly stood up in the crowd. They seemed to be with the young man just now and shouted at the same time, telling Li Yue to get out!
Li Yue's mood immediately dropped. I don't even want to save you!
"Get out! Get out! Get out! Get out!"
The voice became louder and louder. It turned out that a few more people joined in the chant to kick him out! To be honest, the situation where he was scolded for saving people made Li Yue unbearably angry!
Li Yue clenched his fists tightly, trying to resist the urge to beat them all to death!
Right before he lost control of himself, he noticed a figure running towards him. The figure spoke with a clear and crisp voice! And it was in familiar Chinese!
"Big brother, are you upset? I'll give you a lollipop."
Li Yue lowered his head and saw a little girl who was only a few years old standing in front of him. She looked up at him with glittering eyes! She offered an opened lollipop with her small hands.
Unfortunately, she was still very short. No matter how hard she tried, her hands could only reach Li Yue's waist!
