"Our homeland has become a **** because of these damned Yankees. Now we have to make them pay the same price. Reply to him, we don't accept negotiations!"
"..."
"Hey! There seems to be something over there! Go and have a look!"
Li Ye, who was high in the sky, scanned the city again, discovered the incident, and flew down quickly.

Chapter 20: Rescue
"Listen, you American bastards, we don't accept negotiations. Everyone in this mall is going to die today! This is revenge for you!"
After Director George heard this, his face turned pale instantly. His precious daughter was inside, and he would not allow such a thing to happen, whether it was out of a sense of police duty or love for his daughter.
After hearing the news, the whole of America exploded. The purpose of the robbers was not for money but for revenge. The nature of the act was completely different, and even the robbers inside could no longer be called robbers.
"Director George, may I ask who the other party is, and why did they say it was revenge against the United States?"
"Director George, what will you do next?"
"Director George, are you sure to rescue the hostages?"
The reporter's overwhelming questions flooded up again.
"Please calm down, everyone. I know everyone is in a hurry, but, but, please trust us, we will definitely rescue the hostages safely!"
The deputy director next to him saw that the situation of Director George was not very good at this time and hurried forward to stop the group of reporters. The police next to him took the opportunity to take Director George to the command room behind.
"Has the identity of the other side been found?" Director George took a big sip of water to barely suppress the anxiety in his heart and then asked.
"The perpetrators are mercenaries from a certain part of Asia. This incident is completely a retaliatory act against the United States," the assistant next to him replied.
"How did they sneak into the United States, carrying so many heavy weapons? Are the customs all overwhelmed?" Director George was instantly furious.
"The opponent's weapons were not brought in from foreign countries, but... purchased in the United States," the assistant said tremblingly.
"These profiteers dare to sell anything for money, and they don't care about the safety of citizens' lives and property at all!" Director George said furiously.
In this country where capital is rampant, as long as the profit is high enough, no matter what kind of business, there are people who dare to get involved.
"Sir, do we need to ask the army for help? They have a large number of destructive weapons, enough to kill anyone! Now it is no longer a simple police game, it has evolved into a war!" the assistant suggested.
"No! If the army comes, they will definitely attack by force. At that time, the hostages inside will be in danger. We are the police, and the first priority is to ensure the safety of the hostages!" Chief George said firmly.
"Continue to communicate with them first. If it's just a simple act of revenge, they could have acted directly. Now they control the mall and confront us. They must have something else to ask for!"
"Yes, Director!"

"Should we just rush in and kill all those terrorists?" Li Ye, on the top floor of the building not far away, frowned as he looked at the chaotic scene below.
"Heh, I'm not a real hero, I'm just a hero driven by interest. Although I can rely on the speed of the rabbit spell, like Flash and Quicksilver, to end the battle before the other party reacts and then give all the credit to the New York City police, silently guarding the city... oh my god! It's so great, I want to cry myself..."
"Whoever wants to do such a noble thing will do it. The most important thing for me to be a hero is to enjoy the cheers. If I don't have this, then they should die! Whoever loves to save will save!"
Now I have the power; I can do whatever the **** I want!
Then Li Ye slowly descended from the sky in front of everyone present.
"What is that?"
"It seems to be a person!"
"Are you crazy? How can people fly in the sky?"
"Oh my god! That's the Superman who appeared the other day!"
"Superman!"
Li Ye's arrival instantly detonated the audience. The people present cheered frantically, shouting the word 'Superman.' The image was transmitted to the whole world through the cameras on the scene, and the whole world once again fell into the frenzy of "Superman."
"Hello!" Li Ye waved his hand with a smile. That smile was very much like our Azu.
"Wow! Superman, Superman waved at me!"
"Are you blind? Superman is obviously waving at me! Superman, I love you!"
"Superman, your new clothes are so handsome! Just as handsome as yourself!"
"Go away all of you! Superman, look at me! Look at me! Superman, I love you, I want to bear your child!!"
Even after several days have passed, Superman's popularity has not diminished. Now it seems that it has not decreased but increased.
A large group of reporters immediately surrounded Li Ye.
"Mr. Superman, are you here to save the world?"
"Mr. Superman, will you bring those terrorists to justice?"
"Mr. Superman, are you wearing your Kryptonian battle suit now?"
"If you have any questions, please wait for me to solve this matter before you ask!" Li Ye smiled.
"Please give way, everyone!" Li Ye lifted off slowly, avoided the crowd, and flew in front of Director George.
"Hello, Chief George, is there anything I can do to help?"
In one word, put on a show! Hypocrites! But George liked it very much. Now is the most critical moment, and the police are completely helpless!
Although Director George was very disgusted with these so-called superheroes in the past, especially the 'failed man' who swung around in the sky like a spider and destroyed police operations several times, Spider-Man's starting point was to save. However, this kind of unorganized, unplanned, and rogue behavior still displeased Director George very much.
But what happened now made him understand that the world has changed, and there are indeed "disasters" that the police can't stop. The two monsters on Broadway a week ago proved this point. There is a limit to manpower alone. This is where 'superheroes' with powers beyond ordinary people are needed.
"Mr. Superman, hello!" The two shook hands symbolically.
"Now the entire shopping mall is controlled by terrorists. They are carrying machine guns, RPGs, and other heavy weapons. There are thousands of hostages inside. The situation is very urgent. We just need your help..." Director George briefly introduced the situation at the scene. Li Ye listened quietly without interrupting.
"If there is a strong attack, the terrorists inside will definitely kill the hostages. We don't know if they have tied bombs to the hostages... Mr. Superman, do you have any plans?" Director George asked tentatively when he saw Li Ye lost in thought.
"I do have a plan. You will attract the attention of the terrorists in front, and I will sneak around and kill them. You know, my speed is very fast, and I can definitely eliminate them before they react." Li Ye pretended to put forward a so-called plan. In fact, there is no need for the help of these officers. With Li Ye's full strength, he could kill the group of terrorists in an instant. Now it's just for show.
"Superman, can you ensure the safety of the hostages?" Director George asked seriously.
"No, I'm not 100% sure. In the current situation, it is unrealistic to expect no casualties. I can only say that I will try my best to minimize them." Li Ye replied lightly.
Want to manipulate me? Keep dreaming! Although Li Ye can indeed ensure zero casualties, he hates moral blackmail. If he meets the moral paragons from his previous life, he would definitely send them to the moon to keep Chang'e company.
"...Sorry, I'm too idealistic!" Hearing Li Ye's cold tone, Chief George, who had been in the officialdom for many years, instantly realized his mistake and quickly apologized. Now the safety of his precious daughter rests entirely on Superman.
"Next, we will continue to use negotiations as a reason to attract their attention in front, and the rest will be left to you."
