In New York City, a thug with yellow hair cornered a young girl in an alley.
"I'm warning you, don't do anything stupid, or you'll regret it when I call the police."
The girl retreated in fear, threatening the thug with her words.
"Go ahead and call them, I like playing this game." The thug leered. "Do you know who I am? My relative is a supervisor at the Value Line Company. The police wouldn't dare do anything to me."
Hearing "Value Line Company," a flicker of despair crossed the girl's eyes.
Value Line Company was now a behemoth, just as influential as Stark Industries. The presidents of these two companies held the power of life and death over the entire planet.
People secretly described the power of the heads of Value Line and Stark Industries like this:
A flick of a finger could change policy; a word could influence an entire continent; a sneeze could silence the world… a swivel of their office chair could make everyone bow down.
With such extreme power, even if the leaders didn't have the inclination, the employees of these two companies naturally enjoyed a high status.
In most cases, working for these two groups grants even more power than holding an official position.
"Hahahaha, go ahead and resist, I love this kind of thing." The yellow-haired thug sneered, wanting to step forward, but the next moment a hand landed on his shoulder.
"I heard your relative is a manager at Value Line. I'd like to know about his identity. Could you tell me?"
A gentle voice spoke beside the thug, making him impatient: "Fuck, who's tired of living and dares to block my way."
But when he turned around, he saw a man in a red bodysuit holding a baton.
The moment he recognized the newcomer, his brain, which had already been emptied by his boss, instantly sobered up. His lips trembled, not knowing what to say, while the other girl beside him exclaimed in surprise: "Daredevil!"
Damn it, how could I run into Daredevil. The yellow-haired thug was filled with despair, looking at the other's smiling mouth, he was already regretting his bad luck today.
But he wasn't given a chance to regret it. The next moment, in Daredevil's astonished gaze, the yellow-haired thug in front of him exploded instantly, turning into a spray of blood that splattered on the alley walls.
Blood trickled down the walls, dripping alongside the pulped flesh, a gruesome, sickening sight.
Daredevil turned warily, facing a man who slowly retracted his right hand and looked directly at him. "Looks like your eyes are healed, Matthew."
"Bai... Your Majesty." Daredevil looked at Bai Ye, whom he hadn't seen in months, but their positions were vastly different now.
The girl beside them was completely dumbfounded, wondering if she was some sort of chosen one. A petty crime had somehow drawn Bai Ye's attention.
Thinking this, the girl nervously wrung her hands, sneaking glances at Bai Ye's profile.
Bai Ye retracted his hand, not even glancing at the crimson mess. In that instant, on a whim, he'd blown up every criminal in New York.
Roughly four thousand people had died.
And that wasn't nearly enough, compared to the global crime he'd just witnessed.
Bai Ye didn't really care about crime. After all, he'd been forced into the underworld before, and he'd seen plenty of nasty things. As long as it wasn't happening in front of him, he didn't care.
But as his strength grew, his perspective (literally) widened. Things he couldn't see before, sounds he couldn't hear before, all flooded into his mind.
And in his quick scan just now, he'd stumbled across some things that crossed his moral line. They disgusted him. If he had to hear that kind of stuff every time he used his hearing, he'd be sick to death.
So, to avoid seeing some of the more disgusting things, he had to take action. For example, crushing all those cockroaches who were up to no good.
From today onwards, rape, murder, trafficking, bullying, and cyberbullying were things that could only happen if Bai Ye allowed it.
"Now, go find Stark and tell them to meet at the White House in half an hour." Bai Ye instructed Daredevil, his words simple and direct.
"Understood. I will deliver your message to the letter, Your Majesty." Daredevil nodded. He had a feeling that Bai Ye's next decision would have a huge impact on society.
After receiving the confirmation, Bai Ye nodded slightly. In the next instant, he vanished, leaving only Daredevil and the girl in the alley.
"Madam, I might not have time to take you back later. Please be careful on your way," Daredevil said with a warm smile.
Ten minutes later, with Daredevil's notification, the news of Bai Ye's return instantly spread across the globe, especially after people knew Bai Ye was going to hold a meeting. The ones who had been somewhat lax, like Kingpin, became vigilant.
They all speculated in their hearts about Bai Ye's main purpose for this meeting while rushing towards the White House.
Among them, after hearing the news that Bai Ye had eliminated more than four thousand criminals upon his return, Kingpin felt a subtle sense of unease.
Although he had tried his best to restrain the actions of his subordinates, this group was ultimately not clean. Trying to stay pure in such a situation was simply wishful thinking.
Half an hour later, when Kingpin arrived at the White House, he saw Bai Ye, with his legs crossed, sitting on the office chair that Stark usually used. He was looking at everyone with his fingers interlaced.
Beside him, Rodriguez and Stark had already arrived. In addition, there were Professor X and other elite strongmen under Bai Ye. He was obviously the last to arrive.
"Your Majesty, I apologize. I... got a little carried away and arrived late."
Kingpin hesitated, looking at Bai Ye who was staring directly at him. He decided not to make excuses and just tell the truth, since Bai Ye didn't like being lied to.
Bai Ye nodded without blaming him. Enjoying himself a little was fine; as long as they arrived within the specified time, there was no problem.
"It seems everyone is here," he said, looking at everyone present. "Next, I need to inform you of two things, and then you will carry them out."
"First, my abilities have improved a bit recently. I can now hear sounds from around the globe, so I can detect all kinds of noise entering my mind, such as those secretly cursing me and also all sorts of global crimes."
"Although I just swept through all of New York, it's still too troublesome to continue cleaning up everything one by one."
Bai Ye scanned the group and said, "So next, I want you to eliminate all those annoying sounds within a month."
"I don't care if you use AI to monitor everyone, or if Professor X brainwashes everyone."
Bai Ye's tone was incredibly calm. "In any case, when I refocus my attention on this planet, I don't want to hear any disharmony. Everyone, even if you have to pretend, you have to keep pretending."
"Otherwise, this will really bother me. If I'm not happy, I don't want anyone else to be happy either."
The people at the scene: ...
Everyone at the scene was utterly dumbfounded by Bai Ye's answer to the request.
It was too overbearing to make everyone unhappy just because he was unhappy. The problem was, this guy in front of them actually possessed such an ability.
"No problem," Stark said first. "There are plenty of ways to shut those people up. It's just a networked Collar. Give me one night, and I can have it ready. Mass production can be achieved within a day, and everyone will have one within a week."
"It's just this little problem. No one will dare to speak out then."
As he spoke, Stark agreed with his own proposal.
He was inherently inclined to use abilities to protect everyone and had always had this idea.
It was just that he was blocked by Kingpin and others, so he didn't implement it. Now that Bai Ye had brought it up, everything was a natural progression.
Once this Collar is invented, most crime will naturally disappear, achieving a different kind of world peace.
Bai Ye nodded in agreement with Stark's proposal; as long as it achieved the goal, he didn't mind the method.
"Next is the second point. I remember there shouldn't be this many Superpowered Individuals," Bai Ye said, turning his gaze towards Stark, Kingpin, and Rodriguez.
"I just counted. There are currently about 354.2 million Superpowered Individuals worldwide, but only 345.69 million are registered, right?"
Bai Ye asked with some confusion, "Can someone explain to me where these extra nine million-plus Superpowered Individuals came from?"
"This..." The three people present couldn't help but hesitate.
In the end, Rodriguez spoke first, explaining, "Your Majesty, because the manufacturing of the ability awakening device isn't complicated, as long as you have the materials and blueprints, you can copy one at any time."
"Because the quota for Superpowered Individuals is fixed, those who didn't originally register and apply will naturally be unwilling. Under such a market, a black market naturally emerged."
"So, you're saying those people did this… even after I explicitly said no?" Bai Ye confirmed.
The few people present felt a chill run down their spines after hearing this, but they nodded anyway.
"I thought I made it clear enough before: only register to become Superpowered Individuals. Wouldn't this be considered treason?"
Bai Ye lightly scratched his head. "What was the punishment for that kind of crime back in the old days, again?"
Shock!
Everyone stared at Bai Ye in astonishment, especially Professor X and Stark. This guy isn't going to try to wipe out their families, is he?
Thinking of those nine million people, plus their families, it would be like a game of Connect Four; a whole country might be wiped out.
"Relax, relax, it's not that serious. What do you take me for?"
Seeming to sense their tension, Bai Ye waved his hand with an easygoing expression. "Have those people turn themselves in quickly. After using the Reversal Device to remove their abilities, just record it."
"Phew~" The people at the scene breathed a sigh of relief, they were almost scared to death.
"In short, get these two things done as soon as possible, otherwise it won't be good when I blow things out of proportion," Bai Ye said with a smile.
As soon as he said this, he naturally received assurances from everyone present.
Meanwhile, Kingpin and the others were already thinking that after this meeting, they would have Stark Industries create an advanced version of the Collar, relaxing the permissions a bit, and not being so uptight about everything.
Just as Bai Ye was holding a meeting with Kingpin and the others, in Gotham City's prison, Gavin was currently tightly bound by steel alloy, his eyes filled with a calm madness.
Nearly two months had passed since the death of his wife, children, and parents, and he had naturally and logically taken revenge on the entire underworld.
However, compared to the previous small-scale crackdowns on crime, his methods had been ten times more brutal in the past two months.
To die quickly at his hands was considered incredibly fortunate, a stroke of good luck.
Most people lost their lives while screaming and enduring immense pain.
Ironically, under his brutal hunts, the security of Gotham City actually improved significantly. The fear he instilled was even greater than that of Batman and the Joker.
After all, at Batman's hands, the worst you'd get is a serious injury, not death.
And most people didn't even qualify to be toyed with by the Joker.
But Gavin would torture them. Faced with the ultimate physical pain, most people would find that things like family, love, and desire could be easily cast aside, leaving only the eternity of pain.
Such actions naturally led to Batman's intervention. This didn't align with his so-called beliefs. In Gotham City, killing was simply not allowed, no matter who did it, no matter how justified the reasons.
So, after a month-long encirclement, he was successfully captured by Batman and sent to Arkham Asylum, where he received stricter supervision than any other mentally ill criminal.
"Heh, heh." In the darkness, Gavin forced a mocking laugh from his hoarse throat.
After the death of his wife and children, his heart was filled with despair, just like this city, plunged into boundless silence. Now, only a heart of vengeful sin remained alive.
In these two months of killing, he had rediscovered the meaning of life: to completely destroy all the evil in this world. He was willing to pay any price for this.
Even trapped in Arkham Asylum, he did not despair. Perhaps when he escaped, the people of this city would discover what kind of devil they had created.
But before that, in the chat group that had been silent for a long time, a familiar message appeared.
[Deep Blue]: @Citizens of Gotham, still need help? I'm done with what I'm doing now.
"Hahahaha! Hahahaha!"
Seeing this message, Gavin burst into mad laughter. His trembling body caused the connecting chains to constantly shake, making a jingling sound.
A moment later, Bai Ye saw the affirmative reply from the chat group: "I'm in Arkham, just entered the asylum, come quick!!!"
Group member [Citizen of the City of Sin] sent a cross-dimensional application to the chat group, with a headcount of 0/1.
