Written by Infinite Bulldozer · 2673 words As night falls, New York City displays its cosmopolitan charm, with its vibrant nightlife drawing crowds to the streets.
But who knows how much evil is lurking within this dazzling spectacle?
John the Fast-Legs was a gang member.
His gang was small, with about thirty or forty members, and they controlled two streets in the slum.
Their income usually came from selling soft gambling products to the black people and collecting protection money from the gambling dens.
After the boss took the lion’s share of the money, what was left was barely enough for the lower-level employees to make ends meet.
But even that was a struggle for them.
A few days ago, a group of outsiders came to the slums and took over two streets controlled by John’s gang without any reason.
The two groups clashed several times, but it was clear that the losers were no match for the invading force.
John barely escaped with his life thanks to his speed, but the other brothers weren’t so lucky.
Some are dead, some are wounded.
Including their leader, the entire gang now has fewer than twenty members.
A few days later, the boss called John over and told him that he was going to do a big business deal.
The so-called big business was to kidnap Ivanka, the daughter of Donald, a billionaire real estate businessman in New York, and extort a ransom.
After meticulous planning, they finally kidnapped Donald’s nine-year-old daughter and took her to a large warehouse in Port Elizabeth, where an escape ship was ready.
As soon as they succeeded, they would board the ship and leave the United States for Mexico to seek refuge.
Nine-year-old Ivanka was wearing a princess dress, with a few stains on her fair face.
It was clear that she had suffered a little when she was kidnapped, but the precocious girl did not cry or make a fuss.
She knew that crying and making a scene would be useless and would only bring her scolding and abuse.
She believed that her father would definitely rescue her.
“Click!” The sound of the armory door opening startled the gang members who were playing cards.
They all instinctively grabbed their guns and stood up, cautiously guarding the doorway!
“Don’t shoot!” It was John the Fast-Leg who spoke.
“Shit, you almost scared me to death!” A group of people grumbled and vented their dissatisfaction, then they all surrounded him again.
“Where’s the ransom!?” “In the car, open the gate first!
I’ll drive the car in!” John said, turning back to get his stolen pickup truck.
“Hurry up, open the door!
You bunch of idiots, don’t you want your share of the money?” the leader shouted, directing his gang to open the warehouse door.
With the sound of a car engine, John slowly drove the car into the warehouse.
“Ha, I’m rich!” Before John could even park the car properly, some impatient guys had already rushed onto the back of the truck, eager to see the fruits of their labor over the past few days.
Ivanka’s face was tense.
She didn’t know why those incompetent police officers had let these kidnappers succeed.
If they hadn’t gotten the ransom, she might have had a chance to save her life, but…
now, she wasn’t sure if she would live to see her father again.
“Gentlemen, please put my money down, okay?” A loud voice suddenly came from above the crowd.
“That belongs to me!” The gang members who were robbing the money were also well-trained.
Without saying a word, they pulled out their guns and started shooting at the dark figure on the overhead beam.
“Bang bang bang!” “This isn’t what we agreed on!” The dark figure leaped between the beams like a ghost, leaving a trail of afterimages behind it.
“Shouldn’t you start with verbal sparring before actually fighting?
Why aren’t you following the script?” Clearly, the gang members had no interest in arguing with him; they simply kept firing bullets at him.
“Pfft!” Ivanka was amused by the somewhat comical shadowy figure.
The originally serious situation was completely relaxed thanks to this person.
“Alright!
Gentlemen, the game’s over.
I’m in a hurry to get to my date!” With that, the shadowy figure instantly appeared next to one of the thugs, sending him flying more than ten meters away with a single punch, crashing into the warehouse wall and passing out.
“Shoot…shoot now!” Seeing this, the bandits fired even faster, wishing they could pull the trigger and unleash all the bullets in their magazines onto the dark figure.
Unfortunately, this was just wishful thinking on their part.
The shadowy figure advanced at a speed that no human could possibly achieve.
The bandits would often only feel a gust of wind before they were knocked unconscious and could not even see the shadow.
As expected of the leader, seeing things were going badly, he quickly ran behind Ivanka, who was tied to the chair and unable to move, pressed the gun against the back of the little girl’s head, and shouted, “Stop!
I told you to stop!
If you want the hostage’s life, then stop!” A dark figure suddenly appeared in front of the two, raising his hands to indicate that he had no weapon.
“Uh!
Sorry, you’re a bit too late.
All your men have already been wiped out!” It was only then, under the dim light of the warehouse, that Ivanka could clearly see the figure’s appearance.
The figure looked to be at least 1.89 meters tall, wearing an ill-fitting black combat suit and an oddly shaped mask that looked like something a lady would wear to a masquerade ball, which gave the figure a strangely comical appearance.
“Now go see God!” With that, the leader raised his gun and pulled the trigger, pointing it at the shadowy figure’s head.
“Bang–!” “No—!” Ivanka couldn’t help but close her eyes.
“Thud!” That was the sound of a body falling to the ground.
Ivanka didn’t cry when she was kidnapped, and she didn’t cry when she realized that she might be in danger.
But when someone died because of her, she finally couldn’t help but burst into tears.
“Waaaah…you idiot…!” At that moment, a dark figure appeared behind Ivanka in an instant and gently rubbed Ivanka’s head.
“Little girl, why are you crying?” The shadowy figure was clearly Zhou Ye; no one else in this world possessed extraordinary abilities besides him.
“You…you’re not dead?” “How could I possibly die!?” Zhou Ye laughed as he easily broke the ropes binding Ivanka.
“You scared me to death!” After blinking for a while, Ivanka finally realized that it was the gang leader who had just fallen, not the person who came to save her.
She was finally safe, and her tense nerves completely relaxed.
She felt an indescribable sense of grievance, and her little mouth trembled as if she was about to cry again…
“Hey, if you cry again, I’m leaving you here!” “…” Ivanka was so frightened that she immediately stopped crying, leaving only sobs.
It took her a while to recover.
Seeing the dark figure busily tying up the robber, her curiosity was piqued again: “Thank you for saving me.
Who are you?
Did my father send you to rescue me?” “No need to thank me, just call me Robin Hood.
I’m a Robin Hood-like outlaw who robs the rich to help the poor!” the shadowy figure said as he tied up a dozen or so bandits one by one.
Each of them held onto another person’s thigh, their mouths positioned right at the other person’s crotch, forming a circle around them.
The scene was truly something else.
An experienced driver is an experienced driver; they’ll start driving at the drop of a hat.
After completing his performance art, Zhou Ye began to take stock of his spoils, which were the ransom money placed in the carriage.
As he counted them, he realized something was wrong.
The little girl’s father was really stingy.
Not to mention that there was a tracking device hidden in the ransom money, which was to be expected.
However, the fact that only five million of the ten million ransom was in real money is awkward.
At that moment, the faint sound of police sirens could be heard outside, and Zhou Ye knew it was time for him to leave.
He casually found a piece of tarpaulin used for wrapping goods in the warehouse and wrapped the five million yuan in real money.
It weighed only a little over two hundred pounds, which was no burden for him at all.
“Are you leaving?” Ivanka asked, noticing Zhou Ye’s movements, knowing he was about to depart.
“Well, the police are coming soon!
I should go too, little beauty, goodbye!” Zhou Ye said, about to leave, when he found that the hem of his clothes was being tugged by this pretty little girl who looked like a Barbie doll.
“Will we ever see each other again?” Ivanka stared wide-eyed at the chivalrous thief who called himself Robin Hood.
“We’ll meet again if fate allows!” Zhou Ye almost succumbed to cuteness, silently repeating to himself, “I’m not a lolicon, I’m not a lolicon, I’m a lolicon…” Wait, something feels a little off…
“I will definitely find you, Robin Hood, and you must take me with you when you do!” Ivanka shouted as she watched the shadowy figure disappear into the distance.
Zhou Ye, who had already walked quite a distance, stumbled and almost fell off the roof.
He muttered to himself again, “I am absolutely, absolutely not a lolicon!” But for some reason, he had a feeling that he would meet this little girl again.
