Bai Ye had no interest in the situation at hand.
It was Bai Ye's doing in the first place, and he knew the condition of the office building better than the reporters who had just arrived.
What Bai Ye cared about now was whether Batman would appear, whether he would take off his mask and reveal his true face, and of course, whether the bomb would be defused.
"If Batman really takes off his mask..." Bai Ye grinned, took a sip of coffee, and murmured, "Then I've completely stolen the Joker's thunder this time."
As Bai Ye was thinking, the situation on the TV screen became chaotic. Sirens blared, and then a large group of agents and bomb disposal teams headed towards the office building.
The reporters, like sharks smelling blood, rushed forward wanting to interview, completely disregarding whether there were victims inside the building.
In this instant, the reporters displayed the perversion of the City of Sin to the fullest.
The agents quickly pushed the reporters aside, escorting the bomb disposal team members into the office building. Unable to get interviews, the reporters began to fabricate stories and make their own speculations. As long as they could attract attention, they didn't care about the truth. At most, they would apologize later.
After all, they were known as the uncrowned kings.
Bai Ye watched with great interest, continuously following the TV news.
Unfortunately...
Bai Ye did not get any Sin Points.
This was because neither Batman appeared nor did the bomb explode.
After half an hour of effort, Bai Ye's birthday gift to Miss Rachel was finally defused.
The bomb wasn't a high-end piece of equipment to begin with, so its defusal wasn't too surprising. Bai Ye's goal was to bother Batman, or rather, to take a small revenge on Batman for causing him trouble.
However, what Bai Ye didn't expect was that Batman didn't show up.
The person who appeared beside Miss Rachel was a man named Harvey Dent, the prosecutor of the City of Sin. He was upright and beloved. Batman was called the Dark Knight by the people of the City of Sin, while Harvey was called the Knight of Light by the people here.
Batman and Harvey represented the light and darkness of the City of Sin.
But what was very interesting was that these two were allies. Harvey was not as resistant to Batman's existence as Commissioner Gordon. Harvey believed that to defeat the evil forces of the City of Sin and protect the city's order, a certain degree of violence was necessary, and Batman's existence perfectly filled that void.
What was even more interesting was...
According to Bai Ye's memories from his previous life, both of these guys seemed to like that Miss Rachel. Therefore, the two were not only allies but also rivals in love.
"Tsk tsk tsk..." Bai Ye chuckled, "To refuse to compromise, they would even push their girlfriend to their love rival? As expected, if you want to live a good life, you always have to wear a little green."
As Bai Ye spoke, he looked around.
The coffee shop, which was bustling before, was now empty. Not only were the customers gone, but the staff who should have been working behind the counter had also disappeared.
The next moment, the coffee shop door opened, and the doorbell hanging on the door rang out clearly.
A man in a black jacket walked into the coffee shop and sat down in front of Bai Ye.
The man smiled and said, "Bai Ye? Is that right?"
Bai Ye raised an eyebrow and said, "What can I do for you?"
"I originally came for Order Points. As someone on the list, killing you would not only give me the basic Order Points but also an additional 100 Order Points," the man said, crossing his arms. "Now, I have to add revenge, because you killed my cubs."
Bai Ye said, "Those three guys who didn't know any better, were they your people?"
"Yes, they called me 'Dad,' and I promised to take care of them in the World Battlefield," the man said. "But now they've been killed by you."
The man spoke with sadness in his eyes.
"Of course, it's not your fault, it's mine. I delayed, and didn't arrive in time, which led to their unfortunate accident," the man looked at Bai Ye and said. "But as things stand, all I can do is avenge them."
Bai Ye shook his head. "No, there's something else you can do for them."
The man asked, "What else can I do for them?"
Bai Ye replied, "For example, go to hell to accompany them."
Instead of being annoyed by Bai Ye's provocation, the man actually laughed.
"I think that would be good too," the man smiled. "So, either you kill me, and I can go apologize to them, or I kill you, and avenge them!"
After the man finished speaking, the coffee shop suddenly fell silent.
Neither of them spoke, staring at each other.
Then...
The man couldn't hold back any longer. He suddenly grabbed the edge of the table and violently flipped it over, smashing it towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye pushed off with his legs, sliding backward with the chair, then abruptly stood up and kicked the table, sending it flying away.
The two were separated by two to three meters. Bai Ye silently took out the Predator's bio-mask and put it on.
Bio-scan activated...
Bio-scan completed...

...
Claude's data quickly appeared on the mask, and at this very moment...
Claude's figure flashed, and he suddenly disappeared. He reappeared behind Bai Ye and raised his fist, smashing it down towards Bai Ye.
However, just as it was about to hit Bai Ye's head...
As if copied and pasted, Bai Ye's figure suddenly disappeared, leaving an afterimage in his place, and reappeared where Claude had been standing.
Boom!
Claude's fist missed, smashing directly into the floor, instantly piercing the wooden planks.
Claude frowned and looked up at Bai Ye, saying, "Why do you also know Soru? Are you from the same world as me? Someone from CP9? Or did you learn this move in the World Battlefield?"
Bai Ye spread his hands and said, "Guess?"
Claude shook his head. "It's my mistake to ask these questions. They're meaningless. No matter the answer, only one of us can survive!"
