Chapter 250 Capture the Thief
"Um, I guess I can consider myself an ordinary person," Noah touched his nose.
"It's fine to be an ordinary person," Thomas said. "For our show, we do have a few conditions. First, after the money is transferred to your account, you can't use it for any illegal activities, like gambling or usury."
"Second, when you spend the money, we will record videos of you. Our production team will edit the videos and broadcast them on Oceanbridge City TV, so we need to stay in contact 24/7."
Noah nodded. "I can accept these two conditions."
"Good. There's also one more thing. If you violate these two conditions or do anything the production team considers against the rules, we have the right to take back your funds. Of course, if you spend all of the ten million dollars and the video results in a satisfying viewing experience for the audience, gaining you many fans, we can provide additional funds."
"For example, we could give you another ten million dollars, or even twenty million!"
"That's fine," Noah agreed.
Noah wasn't surprised by the possibility of additional funds. After all, the better the video results and the more viewers there were, the higher the ratings would be, and the production team would also generate more revenue.
"Now that you've agreed, let's sign the contract first," Thomas said, taking out a contract and handing Noah a pen.
Noah briefly glanced at it and then signed his name on it.
"Noah..." Thomas took the signed contract and looked at Noah's name, muttering, "Noah, tell me your card number, and I'll have the production team transfer ten million dollars to you right away. Remember, once the money is in your account, we need to stay in contact 24/7. Let me know when you spend the money."
"Okay." Noah provided Thomas with his card number, and shortly after, received a notification of ten million dollars being transferred to his account.
Then, the two exchanged WeChat accounts to stay in touch conveniently.
"Well, Noah, I'll go back to the production team now. I hope this ten million dollars will make your life better and make you extraordinary!" Thomas said with a smile.
Oceanbridge City, with a population of over seven million, wouldn't be affected much by thirty people suddenly becoming wealthy. The money they received was just a small wave in the ocean of the city's developed economy.
However, when the show aired, it would definitely have a significant impact. People who constantly hoped to get rich overnight would surely love watching this kind of program!
The resulting revenue would definitely be in the billions.
No matter how you calculated it, the production team would definitely not suffer any losses.
"Thanks for your kind words," Noah calmly replied. To him, ten million dollars was like a regular person finding a penny on the ground, and it wouldn't have the slightest impact on his life.
Upon seeing the look in Noah's eyes, Thomas was slightly startled. He had gained ten million dollars from this youth, yet his expression hadn't changed at all. This was something she had never expected.
With such composure, could this youth be an ordinary person?
As Thomas wondered about this, a voice rang out.
"Thief! Catch the thief!"
Noah looked over and saw a young man running towards him with all his might.
This young man had Logan-dyed hair and was holding an exquisite bag in his hand, adorned with sparkling diamonds. It looked very expensive.
Following closely behind the young man was a girl, panting heavily as she chased after him, yelling:
"Catch the thief! He stole my bag!"
The pedestrians on the road hurriedly stopped to observe and discuss the scene, but no one dared to go and catch the thief.
Stealing something so boldly in front of so many people, he was likely carrying weapons on him.
Interfering in this matter could lead to getting hurt, and if that went worst-case scenario, it wouldn't be worth it.
Therefore, the onlookers just watched, and there was no one willing to step forward to help catch the thief.
At this moment, the young man had already run up to Noah.
Thomas was taken aback and quickly stepped to the side, keeping a safe distance.
A smile tugged at the corner of Noah's mouth as he extended his right foot.
In the next moment, the thief was tripped by Noah.
Thud!
He crashed to the ground.
The young man gasped in pain, grimacing. He got up, one hand holding the bag and the other pulling out a switchblade.
The sharp blade sprang out.
"Kid, mind your own business. Are you looking to die?"
The young man glared fiercely at Noah, brandishing the switchblade, resembling a wild beast that could pounce at any moment.
Noah couldn't be bothered with small talk. With lightning speed, he reached out his fair left hand.
In the next moment, it landed on the young man's wrist.
A crisp sound immediately rang out.
A surge of intense pain rushed from the wrist to the shattered wrist bone.
The young man's body went limp, sitting on the ground, letting out a piercing scream.
The switchblade fell to the ground, and so did the bag.
"Get lost!"
Noah swung his arm, sending the young man flying five meters away.
At the same time, his other hand reached out, catching the falling bag.
"It hurts... it hurts so much..."
The young man covered his hand, fearfully looking at Noah, scrambling to flee.
"Well done!"
"Young man, you've got skill!"
"Brave and righteous, admirable!"
"Spreading positive energy!"
...
Cheers and applause immediately resounded from the crowd, with some people giving thumbs up and clapping for Noah.
Everyone admired Noah.
"Noah, impressive skills!"
Thomas walked over, observing Noah up and down, full of surprise. She hadn't expected this young man to be so formidable.
Three or four quick moves and the armed thief was driven away.
"Noah, I just captured your act of bravery on camera," Thomas pointed to the camera in his hand and smiled.
"When the show 'I Am the Great Hero' airs, this video will definitely be shown. You might even become a star!"
Noah smiled; he wasn't very interested in flashy things like that.
At this moment, the girl whose bag was stolen also ran over.
She was panting heavily, with sweat all over her face, clearly exhausted from running.
"Thank you so much, big brother!"
She looked at the bag in Noah's hands and immediately expressed her gratitude.
"It was nothing."
Noah smiled faintly and returned the bag to the girl.
This bag was a limited edition Chanel, worth about $50,000, indicating that the girl came from a wealthy family.
The girl was about 5'5" tall, with fair skin and a hint of baby fat on her cheeks. Her eyes were big, making her look adorable.
"I'm Anna, big brother. What's your name?" Anna asked.
"Noah."
"Noah..."
Anna repeated the name and felt somewhat familiar with it, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it before.
"Noah, big brother. You helped me retrieve my bag, so let me treat you to a meal as a thank you. You can choose the place." Anna smiled again, revealing dimples on her cheeks.
"Just call me Noah, there's no need for big brother or anything like that. As for the meal, it's not a big deal for me, just a small favor." Noah smiled.
