“Tell them to hurry.
I have a feeling this isn’t over yet.”
Kingpin took a puff of his cigar and spoke uneasily.
Many people, after seeing Kingpin’s appearance, would assume he was a man with brawn but no brains.
That was actually a complete misconception, one caused by his physique.
It was true that he had courage, but he was by no means a mindless brute.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to rule the underground world for ten years.
If he really had no brains, someone would have blown him up a long time ago.
“Boss, you’re being too cautious.”
“How about you give me a hundred million, and I’ll go take care of that woman for you?”
Unlike Kingpin’s other subordinates, Bullseye didn’t have much respect for him.
To put it simply, Bullseye and Kingpin were long-term partners rather than true superior and subordinate.
“If you want to go get yourself killed, I don’t care.
Just don’t drag me into it.”
“You can’t handle that woman.”
Kingpin glanced sideways at Bullseye, secretly cursing him for being an idiot.
How had someone like this managed to survive until now?
Just as Bullseye looked down on Kingpin for being timid and overly cautious, Kingpin also looked down on Bullseye for being brainless.
As for which of the two was stronger, all you had to do was look at who was the boss.
“Boom!”
While Kingpin and Bullseye were talking, a loud crash suddenly rang out, making everyone tense.
“What happened?
What’s going on?”
Kingpin immediately rose from his seat and questioned the people around him.
He was already like a frightened bird, and the slightest disturbance made his heart jump.
Let alone a noise this enormous.
“It sounds like something is attacking the wall.”
One of Kingpin’s men spoke with some difficulty.
“Don’t worry.
These walls are reinforced with two meters of steel plating.
Even missiles can’t penetrate them.”
Bullseye remained calm and composed, completely unconcerned that someone might break through the walls.
But very soon, even Bullseye could no longer remain calm.
Another deafening crash rang out, this time from the wall to their right.
And unlike before, this time the crash was accompanied by a clear bulge appearing in the wall.
That meant the wall, reinforced with two meters of steel plating, was being brutally smashed through by someone.
“Fuck!
What the hell is this thing?”
Kingpin completely lost his composure and began cursing loudly, trying to dispel the fear building inside him.
“Boss, you were right.
We’ve really provoked someone we can’t afford to provoke.”
Bullseye’s face had also fallen, his earlier confidence completely gone.
No matter how arrogant Bullseye was, he didn’t believe he could punch through two meters of steel plating.
It was simply beyond anything a human could do.
Kingpin glared fiercely at Bullseye.
As if he needed to be told.
“Boom!”
A third impact came.
This time, the bulge in the wall was even more pronounced.
The entire wall had swelled outward into a huge lump, as though some savage beast were about to smash through it at any moment.
“Get ready.
No matter what comes through that wall, open fire!”
Although Kingpin was panicking, he hadn’t completely lost his composure.
He immediately gave orders to his men.
As for Kingpin himself, he had already quietly moved behind everyone else.
If things went wrong, he could flee at any moment.
“Boom!”
The fourth impact came, accompanied by the steel wall finally being torn open.
The opening was still too small for a person to pass through.
Even so, the sight was enough to send chills through everyone.
“Boom!”
Another impact rang out.
This time, a huge opening was smashed through the entire wall.
Then a handsome man in casual clothes stepped through.
There was no doubt about it.
This man was Ye Bai.
General Zod’s template had given Ye Bai the physique of a Kryptonian.
He could become stronger by absorbing sunlight and had also gained superhuman hearing.
It was precisely because of his superhuman hearing that Ye Bai had located Kingpin’s underground warehouse.
Then Ye Bai had come straight to him and punched through two meters of steel plating with his bare hands.
“Open fire!”
The moment Ye Bai appeared, Kingpin was thoroughly shaken.
A human being had appeared before him, yet what he had just done was anything but human.
Could an ordinary human really punch through two meters of steel plating?
So Kingpin didn’t hesitate and ordered his men to open fire, intending to use the power of technology to eliminate the monster before them.
Faced with a barrage of heavy weapons, Ye Bai neither dodged nor flinched.
He didn’t even close his eyes.
Using firearms against a Kryptonian could only be described as an impressive display of imagination on Kingpin’s part.
Even the most vulnerable part, the eyes, couldn’t be penetrated by human firearms, let alone the rest of his body.
Ye Bai allowed the entire barrage to strike him.
To him, it felt no different from standing in the rain.
Then, right before everyone’s eyes, Ye Bai walked into the storm of metal and began cutting down everyone present.
Human bodies were pitifully fragile before a Kryptonian, no different from paper.
Watching Ye Bai slaughter his men, Kingpin completely panicked.
He had no idea how he was supposed to deal with such a monster.
He had to run.
Kingpin wisely chose to retreat, but unfortunately, Ye Bai gave him no such opportunity.
After killing everyone present at high speed, Ye Bai arrived in front of Kingpin and blocked his path.
As for poor Bullseye, Ye Bai had already snapped his neck.
“Wait.
Can’t we sit down and talk?”
Fighting back was impossible.
Kingpin had never even considered trying.
Who could possibly resist a humanoid monster like this?
It was better to have a proper conversation and see whether he could at least secure a dignified death.
“Sure.
How do you want to talk?”
Ye Bai didn’t mind.
With such an overwhelming difference in strength, he wasn’t worried about Kingpin trying anything.
“You’re Mr.
Ye Bai, right?
I’ve seen your photos.”
“About what happened before, I apologize.
It wasn’t my intention.
It was a foolish decision made by one of my subordinates.”
“He’s already dead.
He’s in the stomachs of my dogs now.
He had to pay the price for his mistake.”
“So, could you let me go?
I swear I never intended to do anything to you.”
Faced with the threat of death, Kingpin had completely lost his usual composure.
He looked more like a child who had done something wrong and was desperately trying to distance himself from the blame.
“Is that so?
And then what?”
Ye Bai continued to sneer, completely unmoved inside.
If Kingpin couldn’t give him a satisfactory explanation, he was going to die today.
If you don’t pull out the roots when cutting down weeds, they’ll grow back when the spring wind blows.
Ye Bai understood this principle well enough.
Kingpin took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down before speaking.
“All right.
Even if you kill me, what will you gain?”
“You’ll only be left with a chaotic Big Apple.
A new underground emperor will eventually come after you, because the value you possess is simply too astonishing.”
“If you spare me, then from now on, you’ll be my master.
I guarantee that nothing like what happened before will ever happen again.
No one will disturb you or your wife.
What do you think?”
Kingpin understood very clearly that surviving at this point wasn’t about getting Ye Bai to forgive him.
Ye Bai would never forgive him.
Instead, he needed to demonstrate his own value.
As long as Ye Bai believed he still had some use, Kingpin’s chances of surviving would increase considerably.
As it turned out, Kingpin had made the right choice.
