Chapter 299 Denouncement of The Flash, Abnormal Bank Robbery

From a normal person's perspective, it is difficult to understand Harley's behavior.

But Roy was not surprised at all.

Although Halle seemed to like the two rings when they were in the jewelry store, this does not mean that Halle will continue to like them a few minutes later.

Women are fickle!

Especially a crazy woman like Harley!

After the female clerk left with the rings, gift boxes and bags and other items, Harley picked up the coffee in front of her and took a slow sip, then said to Roy:

"Do you also think that the one I left behind is the most beautiful one?"

"Yes!"

Roy answered seriously.

Although from his point of view, the three rings he just bought looked similar, he would not be stupid enough to analyze the advantages of each of the three rings in detail with Harley.

Since Harley thinks the ring left behind is the best, then it is the best!

"I feel the same way, that's why I kept this."

Harley said with a satisfied look.

Roy did not continue discussing this topic with Harley and looked at the shops and pedestrians around him.

From an urban perspective, Central City is not "bigger" than Gotham.

In terms of area, historical origins, and development potential, Central City is slightly inferior to Gotham.

Apart from anything else, compared to Central City, which is located in the central and western parts of the beautiful country, Gotham, located on the east coast of the beautiful country, is geographically much better than Central City.

In the beautiful country, the east coast and west coast are the key areas that support the entire country.

As for other areas, at best it can only be the icing on the cake.

Although the city's scale and development potential are not as good as Gotham's, the public security environment in Central City is what ordinary citizens of Gotham dream of.

Although there are gangs and underground forces in Central City, under the attack of The Flash and the Central City police, the lives of these gangs and underground forces are not easy.

Even an organization like the Rogue Gang, an organization with all its members being villains, sometimes has to keep its head down and behave like a human being.

no way!

The Flash, who is the speedster, is guarding Central City and cannot do anything without bowing his head.

Just when Roy thought he wouldn't have much chance to see the heroes of Central City criminals today, there was a sudden loud explosion in front of a bank at the end of the street.

Boom boom boom!

The sound of continuous explosions suddenly resounded for several blocks, attracting the attention of surrounding pedestrians.

Among them were Roy and Harley's gazes.

After hearing the explosion, surrounding pedestrians and citizens did not immediately stay away from the street or seek shelter. Instead, they took out their mobile phones and started taking pictures.

this……

If it were in Gotham, let alone the sound of explosions, as long as there was gunshots, the surrounding pedestrians would act as well-trained people and would stay away from the crime scene as soon as possible.

But here, the surrounding pedestrians not only had no intention of evacuating, but began to take out their mobile phones to take pictures.

What is this?

The special customs and customs of Central City?

Even Roy, who was used to seeing big scenes, showed an unexpected expression after seeing this scene.

How to say?

The behavior of the pedestrians around me is not pretty at all.

"Let's go and have a look too!"

After seeing the surrounding pedestrians taking out their cell phones to take pictures, Harley immediately stood up and the expression on her face became excited.

"Um!"

Roy nodded, got up and walked towards the bank at the end of the street.

The moment he heard the explosion, he had already roughly sensed the situation at the bank with his sense of knowledge.

Nothing special, just a common bank robbery.

If anything, the bank robbers used grenades to blow up several vehicles parked and just passing by the bank gate, blocking the road.

Although this cannot prevent the arrival of the Flash, it can create chaos and block the roads to a certain extent, so that the Central City police cannot arrive so quickly.

As for taking a detour, it's not impossible, it just takes more time.

To a robber robbing a bank, time is money.

This group of robbers is quite interesting!

Roy sighed in his heart.

On the surface, what this group of robbers did was rough.

But that's not the case.

This group of robbers can indeed use other methods to cause chaos and block traffic, but the operation is undoubtedly more complicated.

In other words, it's more of a waste of time.

Directly blowing up vehicles on the street may seem reckless, but this is the most efficient approach.

It only takes a few grenades and a few seconds to achieve strategic goals.

The method is a bit rough, but this does not affect the final result.

Just when Roy lamented that this group of robbers was a professional team that dared to commit crimes in a business district, but there were explosions in other nearby blocks.

More than one group of people?

Although I didn't see what happened in the explosions in other blocks, judging from the current situation, the situation in other blocks should be the same as here.

Interesting!

Roy did not expect that on his first day in Central City, he would encounter several groups of robbers robbing banks at the same time.

Although in beautiful countries, bank robberies are not uncommon.

But it is not very common for several groups of robbers to rob different banks at the same time.

It can even be said that it is very rare.

Coincidences do exist in the world, but the current situation is not a coincidence no matter how you look at it.

"It seems we are lucky, we can see a big scene as soon as we arrive."

Harley said with a smile after hearing the explosions coming from other blocks.

"Yes."

"If nothing else goes wrong, we should be able to see Central City's well-known superhero The Flash soon."

Roy replied quickly.

He was still thinking about how to contact The Flash.

Now it seems that he doesn't need to do anything to meet Barry Allen, the Flash.

"Are you going to fight him?"

Harley looked at Roy expectantly.

"Probably not."

Roy replied.

Although he is very interested in the Flash and the Speed ​​Force, he doesn't really want to fight against the Flash.

In other words, he doesn't plan to fight the Flash until he knows what kind of speed the Flash has now.

Once the speed reaches a certain level, it becomes very tricky.

Especially speedsters who are given super speed by the Speed ​​Force.

Although Superman Clark also has super speed that is far beyond ordinary people, his current super speed is similar to that of Roy, so it is not troublesome to handle it.

But speedsters like The Flash and Reverse-Flash are different.

In the DC universe, those who possess super speed through the Speed ​​Force are the so-called speedsters.

As for others, such as Superman Clark and Wonder Woman Diana, they are not speedsters.

"Do you think you can consider fighting him?"

Harley continued.

"Why?"

Roy asked rhetorically.

"Why else? It's fun!"

"Don't you think it would be interesting to fight someone like The Flash?"

"If I had super powers like you, I would definitely fight him."

"Let's not talk about winning or losing, it will definitely be fun to fight."

Harley explained with a serious face.

For Harley, who is worried about the world being in chaos, she doesn't need many reasons to fight against The Flash.

Just having fun is enough.

"Let's talk about it then."

Roy decisively ended the topic and patiently waited for the appearance of The Flash.

Not only him, but the passers-by around him who were taking pictures with their mobile phones are also waiting for the appearance of The Flash.

Although they couldn't see the Flash's movements clearly, they could see the flash of red figures and yellow lightning as the Flash ran at top speed.

For ordinary passers-by, being able to take this photo is enough.

It would be great if I could take a photo with The Flash or get the Flash's autograph.

I don't know which link went wrong. The Flash, who is always known for his "fastness", "delayed" in arriving at the scene of the crime.

More than a minute after the first explosion sounded, the robbers who robbed the bank at the end of the street began to retreat, and the Flash still did not appear.

what happens?

Don't you happen to be in Central City?

Roy frowned slightly as he watched the bank robbers board the vehicle with large bags and small bags, preparing to flee the scene of the crime.

At the speed of the Flash, it only takes a few seconds to get to the crime scene from the other side of the city, not to mention more than a minute.

But now, the bank robbers have begun to retreat, and he still hasn't appeared.

Something's wrong!

Something is very wrong!

Not only Roy felt something was wrong, but the passers-by around him also showed confused expressions.

Although he didn't know what happened, Roy didn't waste too many brain cells thinking about why the Flash didn't appear, but instead thought about another question.

Does that mean you need to take action to stop this group of robbers?

Judging from the equipment and operational quality, this group of robbers is obviously professional.

But for him, stopping this group of robbers was a waste of effort.

Whether it is using the power of the mind or using unreasonable and domineering force to prevent them from leaving, it is a very simple matter.

Because the other end of the street was blocked by an exploding vehicle, the robbers' vehicle could only leave from Roy's side.

Looking at the robber's vehicle getting closer and closer, Roy made a decision quickly.

Although he didn't know why the Flash didn't come over.

But since I've been hit by it, and there happens to be nothing else to do right now, it's better to take a little action to combat evil.

Just do what he said, Roy immediately mobilized the power of the stars in his body.

He did not summon the fire of the stars to directly burn the robbers and vehicles to ashes, nor did he stop in the middle of the road to prevent the vehicles from leaving. Instead, he converted part of the power of the stars into natural energy.

Then, using these converted natural energies, lightning was summoned out of thin air.

Boom!

Suddenly there was a dull sound of thunder in the endless clear sky.

Before the surrounding onlookers could react, a barrel-thick silver lightning fell from the sky and instantly hit the speeding robber's vehicle.

boom!

The sudden silvery lightning struck the front of the vehicle like a laser, easily penetrated the hood, and shattered the crazy-running engine.

The robbers in the car never expected that on the way to evacuate, they were not stopped by the Flash, but by an inexplicable lightning bolt.

However, at this time, they had no extra time or mood to think about what was going on.

The engine was destroyed by lightning, and the speeding vehicle lost control instantly.

Just when the out-of-control vehicle was about to hit the crowd on the roadside, a tornado with a diameter of four to five meters rose from the ground and completely blew the entire vehicle away.

Spin, fly, roll...

The robber inside the vehicle suddenly experienced a roller coaster-like feeling.

Bang!

The vehicle that was blown away by the tornado rolled several times in the air and then hit the street heavily. The travel bag that was thrown away was torn apart by the tornado, and the looted cash was flying in the sky.

Done!

Although controlling lightning and tornadoes is a matter of fine micromanipulation, this level of micromanipulation is nothing to Roy.

If he wanted to, he could even control the tornado to wrap up the robber and the travel bag and spin them around.

It can even make these robbers fly around like supermen wrapped in tornadoes.

"Let's go, I probably won't see the Flash today."

Roy ignored the cash flying in the sky and the robbers in the vehicle, and said to Harley.

"Uh-huh!"

Harley nodded quickly.

hotel.

Presidential Suite.

After preventing the robbers from leaving, Roy took Harley back to the hotel where he lived and turned on the TV in the living room.

Not surprisingly, the news media in Central City are now reporting on the bank robbery in the business district.

Except for the group of unlucky ones who were stopped by him, the robbers who robbed other banks all left with the cash they robbed before the police arrived.

According to statistics, a total of five banks in the business district were robbed, and more than US$100 million in cash was stolen.

In addition to reporting on these robberies, hosts and guests on major channels are discussing the same issue.

So where did The Flash go?

Some guests and commentators with more extreme views even began to criticize The Flash's inaction.

That’s right!

They're denouncing The Flash!

After seeing these guests and commentators begin to denounce The Flash, Roy's first reaction was that The Flash protected Central City too well.

The views of these guests and commentators are surprisingly consistent, that is, since the Flash is deeply loved by the citizens of Central City, he has the obligation to prevent all crimes that occur in Central City.

Otherwise, he will not be loved by the citizens of Central City.

Roy didn't know why these guests and commentators had this kind of brain circuit, but one thing he was sure of was that there were not a few Central City citizens who had this idea.

On the way back, he asked Hancock to search on local forums and major websites.

It turns out that what Central City citizens are now passionately discussing is not the bank robbery itself, but why The Flash didn't stop these robbers.

Although some citizens were helping The Flash explain, most of the citizens were complaining about why The Flash didn't show up.

After watching it for a few minutes, Roy turned off the TV after discovering that guests and commentators on all major channels were more or less denouncing The Flash.

"Hancock, try to hack into the database of Star Laboratory."

Roy said to Hancock.
