Chapter 253: Chapter 252
A bounty of 500,000 U.S. dollars!
Very enticing.
Indeed, a few bold young men began slowly approaching Chen Ye, intending to capture him for the reward.
Chen Ye remained still, standing his ground.
As they were about to close in, a man suddenly charged at Chen Ye from the side.
Chen Ye reached out with a finger, piercing a bloody hole through the man's forehead. The man immediately collapsed, lifeless.
His companions, now closer, began to surround Chen Ye.
However, approaching Chen Ye was a death wish.
"Bang!"
With a single punch, Chen Ye exploded a bald man's head, spraying red and white matter everywhere.
The remaining men met the same fate—each was killed with a single punch from Chen Ye.
Whenever Chen Ye struck, it didn't matter which part of the enemy he hit; their flesh would scatter in all directions.
In the blink of an eye.
Several corpses now lay on the ground!
"Ahhh!!!"
Witnessing such a horrifying scene, many timid bystanders screamed in terror and fled in all directions.
Some had already decided to call the police.
Soon, a large number of police officers arrived.
The police this time were fully armed, dressed in tactical gear, helmets on their heads, carrying assault rifles, riot shields, and even portable missiles...
Anyone familiar with Sam Empire's police force would recognize that the "Counter-Terrorism Unit," also known as the Anti-Terrorism Squad, had been deployed!
Typically, the Anti-Terrorism Squad wouldn't be called out unless it was a major incident.
Clearly, the police were aware of how dangerous Chen Ye was and had dispatched their most elite unit to capture him.
The scene was quickly secured by the Anti-Terrorism Squad, all civilians were evacuated, and Chen Ye was completely surrounded.
"Rumble!"
In the sky above.
There were even two helicopters participating in the operation.
The Gatling guns on the helicopters were already aimed at Chen Ye.
Seeing this, Chen Ye suddenly laughed and raised his hands, shouting:
"I surrender!!"
The surrounding officers nearly spat blood upon hearing this!
They had set up such a massive operation to completely eliminate this dangerous individual, Chen Ye.
Everyone was prepared for a fierce battle!
Unexpectedly, before the fight even started, this dangerous individual said he wanted to surrender?
The stark contrast left everyone feeling extremely frustrated.
However, since Chen Ye had chosen to surrender, they had no reason to shoot and were not eager to fight this monster head-on.
Of the hundreds of officers sent out in the morning, only a dozen returned, which had already alarmed the capital's White House.
Now, anyone who could safely bring in Chen Ye would be performing a significant service.
"Sir, please turn around and put your hands behind your back so I can see them!!" an officer shouted.
Hearing this, Chen Ye cooperatively complied.
His decision to surrender was a spur-of-the-moment idea.
He figured he could completely disrupt the pattern and make it impossible for the Grim Reaper to predict his next move, just as he couldn't predict the Reaper's next step.
"Click!"
A pair of handcuffs was placed on Chen Ye's wrists.
With the corner of his eye, Chen Ye glanced at the bar on his wrist and saw the red slowly fading, revealing a smile.
This might just work!
Now, Chen Ye was entirely focused on stalling for time.
As long as he made it through eight days, he could return to the Reincarnation Space and achieve a super rating.
…
Seeing Chen Ye handcuffed, a police officer rushed over, his face full of anger, raising his fist to strike Chen Ye.
"This punch is for my colleagues you killed!"
As he spoke, the officer swung his fist toward Chen Ye's abdomen.
"Crack!"
Of course, Chen Ye was unharmed, but the officer's fingers were all fractured...
"Ah!!"
The officer screamed in pain and squatted down, clutching his hand.
With Armament Haki activated, trying to hit Chen Ye was like punching solid steel with bare fists.
It was fortunate the officer's bones didn't shatter completely.
"You can keep trying. I won't dodge at all!" Chen Ye smiled faintly.
These words nearly drove the officer mad.
He drew his service pistol with his other hand, aiming it at Chen Ye's forehead.
"Bastard, laugh again, I dare you!"
Chen Ye continued to smile, "Go ahead, shoot me."
"Jamie!"
An older sergeant came over, scolding him, "What are you doing?"
The officer had no choice but to lower his gun and keep quiet.
The sergeant glared at the group and ordered, "Take him away!"
…
Then...
Chen Ye was taken to the city police headquarters.
As a high-security prisoner, he was placed in a solitary cell.
The cell was tiny, with only a single chair inside, nothing else. The surrounding walls were all metal, appearing very sturdy.
Seeing such a cell, Chen Ye's eyes brightened with satisfaction!
He even felt like laughing!
According to standard procedure, the next step would be for the court to try him and convict him, a process that would take several days.
Those few days were more than enough for Chen Ye to achieve a super rating and leave this world.
"Grim Reaper, oh Grim Reaper, now, what do you plan to do with me?"
Chen Ye laughed.
The bar on his wrist remained a safe green.
It seemed that hiding here, the Grim Reaper couldn't do anything to him, at least for now...
That day, Chen Ye was kept in the cell, no one paid him any attention, and no food was provided.
Chen Ye successfully made it through the sixth day.
The seventh day arrived.
Just two more days, and Chen Ye would secure his super rating.
The next morning.
Suddenly, the door to the cell was opened from the outside.
Several men in suits and ties, looking like elite professionals, entered.
"Hello, we are from the CIA and would like to have a conversation with you!"
Chen Ye first glanced at the 5.0 bar on his wrist; seeing it was still green, he relaxed and said, "What do you want to talk about?"
"Sir, before we begin, could you introduce yourself?" the lead agent asked. "We've investigated you and found all your information blank, as if you just appeared out of thin air... Could you tell us who you are?"
"Oh, my name is Chen An, from Xia Country, an illegal immigrant!" Chen Ye casually lied.
"Illegal immigrant?"
The CIA members frowned.
Even for an illegal immigrant, there shouldn't be no trace left behind...
But they didn't press further.
The lead agent said, "Mr. Chen An, I'm here on behalf of the President's orders..."
