Chapter 317 Robbery?
On the stage, Dennis also sensed something was wrong.
He frowned his brow and shot a quick look at the judges' table, where both the high school and had all put down their pens.
They had no intention of scoring.
Instead, they were looking at him with strange expressions!
"You don't believe me?" Dennis's little face darkened, "Then I'll show you! Conrad!"
"Yes sir!" Conrad, with a solemn expression, walked to the front of the rack, took a deep breath, and prepared to unveil the black cloth!
Just as everyone was about to see what was so strange about the clothes, a huge explosion suddenly echoed through the campus!
The ground faintly trembled, even some dust fell from the ceiling!
Everyone was instantly in a panic!
Did something explode, or was it an earthquake?
Some children screamed out loud!
The host, the dean of students, kept his cool and barked over the PA, "Stay calm! Look after the kids first! Security's checking it out!"
Before he could finish speaking, the auditorium doors were kicked open with a bang.
A group of men wearing black hoods, dressed in mismatched camouflage uniforms, and holding submachine guns stormed into the room!
The leader fired several shots at the ceiling!
The terrified kids and parents hit the deck, covering their heads, too scared to even breathe!
Before anyone could notice, Elbert transformed into a white blur, darting to the stage in the blink of an eye, pulling the two children into his arms, and coldly staring at the robbers!
The gunman shouted viciously, "Nobody move! Follow my orders, or I'll bleed you one by one!"
Upon hearing this, all the parents were dumbfounded!
"Listen up! We've got Hero Elementary locked down tight! But we're not here to kill. We want money. If you cooperate, as soon as Wavehaven's ransom is paid, I'll let you go!" The leader shouted a few more commands, quickly directing his men into the auditorium.
A dozen robbers, with guns, forced the students and parents present into three groups, each crouching in a corner!
Then more people were brought in from outside the auditorium!
And others covered all the windows with curtains, creating a sealed space!
Elbert's brow furrowed as he sized things up!
Inside the room, 23 armed robbers!
And they all had large-caliber submachine guns, some even had grenades on their belts!
Outside, the robbers had already tightened their formation, occupying the area around this standalone auditorium!
As he was about to investigate further, Elbert's vision went black!
Someone had destroyed the school's surveillance system!
Elbert's vision returned to reality, his mind raced! 'This is too abnormal! Veridiania's security is internationally renowned! Such a large-scale kidnapping only happens in movies!'
Meanwhile, a flood of disconnected clues was swirling in Elbert's head!
Hero Elementary School wasn't a financial institution and it was located in the city center!
Even if the robbers got the ransom, escaping would be a problem!
These guys were pros—no mistakes, no slip-ups. So why would they pick such a dumb target?
And these weapons? Definitely not local. Heavy artillery like that—who had the pull to smuggle it in undetected?
Even if someone did, they'd have to be a major player. Why would they resort to something this messy for cash?
As for the robbers' physiques, they were broad chests, wide hips, didn't look like locals!
Elbert grew even more suspicious!
At this moment, the sound of dense police sirens came from outside!
From the intensity, it was clear that Hero Elementary School was already surrounded by a large number of police!
Listening closely, there were also many civilian car brakes and camera clicks!
Thanks to the convenience of the city center, the police and media arrived quickly!
Elbert's right eye flickered, his vision quickly displayed data on the robbers inside.
Their sightlines, movement patterns, and the best routes to take them down—all popped into his view.
'With the help of 'none,' I can kill all the robbers in 7 seconds flat, but there's still a 0.3% chance one of 'em gets a shot off!' Elbert calculated in his mind, optimizing his actions!
Suddenly, Elbert sensed several red dots rapidly approaching from afar.
One was darting across the ground, another was swooping down from the sky, and the last one was smashing through walls like they were paper!
B+ cyborgs?
But strangely, these red dots were intermittently stopping, seemingly waiting for the right moment!
Elbert instantly understood!
The one darting was Arc, the one gliding was Skywalker, and the one crashing through walls was Iron Rhino!
He gritted his teeth slightly, 'Cunning VictoriaBioGen Innovations! This was a show! A self-directed hero rescue drama!'
And those heroes on the way were waiting for the situation to escalate!
Thinking of this, Elbert sat cross-legged, ready to watch the performance quietly!
In front of him, many parents surrounded a group of children in the center.
Dennis squatted on the ground, touching his chin. "Violent Bear, aren't you going to act?"
Elbert cracked a sly grin, about to reply when Conrad chimed in, "Dennis, what the hell are you thinking? There's a whole crew of robbers—you think your pops can take 'em all? These guys just want cash. Ill figure out how to call the butler and get the money wired over!"
Dennis sighed with a smile, "Violent Bear is not an ordinary person. Do you know those heroes outside? Violent Bear is ten thousand times stronger than them!"
A parent with his head covered said nervously, "Kids, don't talk! If you attract the robbers' attention, we're all doomed!"
Elbert chuckled, "It's okay, those big heroes will come to save us soon!"
Dennis looked reluctant, "Are we just going to let them take the credit?"
Elbert shrugged slightly, "I don't want to participate in such underhanded tactics!"
The parents nearby were very frustrated, 'These two must be crazy! One pretending to be a big hero, the other pretending to be a scientist!'
Sure enough, the conversation between Elbert and the boy attracted a patrolling robber.
The guy's eyes were icy as he strode over, gun in hand!
But when the robber's eyes met Elbert's—who was just lounging there with a slight frown—a freezing wave shot up from the robber's feet, making him feel like he'd been tossed into an icy abyss!
It seemed that if this man threw a punch, he would be obliterated!
The robber's heart skipped a beat, and he turned his steps as if nothing had happened!
He walked off, trying to play it cool, but couldn't shake that creeping dread!
