Chapter 197 Safe Deposit Box Service

Three million? Bai Ye didn't care!

Carrier pigeon? Bai Ye didn't know what that was!

However, 100 points of sin value, and it was an additional reward for the mission. This meant that even if Bai Ye were to rob a bank, it would be a criminal act with sin value, and on top of that, he would still get 100 points of sin value.

Considering this, it shouldn't be less than the sin value obtained from Gordon, the commissioner. It was a very profitable deal.

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

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

Money?

No, these lunatics didn't care about money.

Lunatics were lunatics because they enjoyed the process of committing crimes or facing immense challenges.

In the Penguin's opinion, it was clearly the laser engraving board that had impressed Bai Ye. It was an extraordinary 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, bombs, 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 a property of the Lex family."

Bai Ye asked, "Is it open now?"

"Of course!" the Penguin replied, slightly taken aback. "It's daytime, banks are supposed to be open."

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

"Now?" the Penguin exclaimed. "You're not planning to rob it right now, are you?"

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

The Penguin stared blankly for several seconds, thoroughly shocked by Bai Ye's words.

Although he had seen many lunatics, the Penguin felt that apart from those who had escaped from Arkham Asylum, this Asian man before him was definitely the craziest person he had ever met.

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

And, was he sure he knew what kind of place Lex Bank was?

It was a mob bank, and the Lex family was a notorious crime family in the city of sin.

However...

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

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

The Penguin, with his inherent madness, actually ordered the car to be turned around.

Soon, the car stopped in front of a rather large-looking bank.

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

Bai Ye replied, "No need, that kind of thing isn't very useful."

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

Reaching the entrance of the bank, Bai Ye looked up at the bank's sign, and then...

*Clang!*

A giant gashapon machine appeared, crashing down beside Bai Ye.

As the gashapon machine spun, two capsules soon 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 handle-less grenades, two SL01A smoke bombs, and two M84 stun grenades.

There were white, green, and blue quality grenade packs. The items were the same, the only difference being the number of grenades equipped.

Overall, despite being white quality, the grenade pack was 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 unscrewing the green capsule, Bai Ye's face lit up with joy.

Bringer Fruit (Item) (Green): A fruit that all beast tamers love. Consuming it increases all stats of a beast tamed by three points.

It couldn't be considered a great item, but the key was that it was a buff item that permanently increased stats after being given to a beast, similar to how Bai Ye had consumed the Mera Mera no Mi.

However, both capsules were items, and he hadn't received anything substantial...

It was too much of a loss to use the God Stone Shard to draw a golden capsule.

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 today? Have I stumbled into an item hoard?"

Black Iron Lotus (Item) (Green): Tang Sect's hidden weapon, the thirty-seventh - Black Iron Lotus. Upon landing, the lotus opens, unleashing ninety-nine eighty-one flying needles, exploding along with thirty-six lotus leaves, possessing infinite power.

A hidden weapon...

It looked good, but items were a one-time deal.

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

Bai Ye had only one reason for drawing from the gashapon machine: ...

The hidden mission!

Since there was a mission, it wouldn't be too simple. This was different from Bai Ye blowing up the Investigation Bureau, which was about free play. Therefore, for the sake of caution, Bai Ye had drawn from the gashapon.

However, his luck seemed to be poor today, as he hadn't drawn anything particularly useful...

But since he had already drawn, 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 immediately greeted him with a smile.

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

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

"No, you've misunderstood." Bai Ye took out his pulse pistols, raised them above his head, and fired a shot into the air. "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 exit.
