Fortunately, compared to before, Xinian has become more accustomed to extraordinary things.
After obtaining the Iron Body ability from Kara, he could be said to have completely stepped into the realm of the extraordinary world.
At this moment.
hope Nian means extraordinary.
……
It was already afternoon.
hope Nian took off his black Superman suit, took a comfortable shower with the hottest water, and changed into a more formal shirt and suit.
The entire suit was almost brand new, without a single wrinkle or speck of dust.
This was partly because Diana and Wanda frequently took things out of the closet, washed, dried, and ironed them; another reason was—
Xinian was dressed too lightly.
Xinian wears formal attire like this less than three times a year, but buys at least two more sets every year.
Xinian dresses however she feels comfortable, and whenever possible, she usually wears loose and stylish casual wear when she goes out.
But tonight is Gwen's coming-of-age ceremony dinner, so I'll just wear it.
For Gwen's sake, Xinian was quite willing.
Fortunately, his steel-like body hadn't made Xinian too bulky, and the shirt still fit him perfectly. Furthermore, the shirt's slight stretch accentuated his muscular physique, making him appear even more radiant and stylish than before.
Then comb through your messy hair and apply hair wax.
A brand new Xinian stepped out of his home.
……
Outside a bustling downtown street in Washington, D.C.
Instead of going to Gwen's house immediately, Xinian took advantage of the time before the dinner party and went into a nearby designer jewelry store.
Inside the store, several couples were looking at the merchandise together. The women's eyes were practically sparkling, while the men in their groups subconsciously touched their pockets.
They saw a young boy walk in.
A pretty, voluptuous Caucasian saleswoman immediately swayed her pencil skirt and stepped forward in high heels, flashing a standard sweet smile at Xi Nian and asking, "Sir, what type would you like to buy?"
"Jewelry suitable for young girls," hope Nian pondered.
Is she your girlfriend?
"No, we're good brothers."
"Uh." The saleswoman was visibly taken aback, but her excellent professionalism allowed her to maintain her composure and ask with a smile, "So, what's your budget?"
Around five thousand.
hope Nian thought for a moment. She still had a considerable amount of the money her aunt had given her for the last date…
"This way, please!"
The female shop assistant's eyes lit up immediately, and she became much more enthusiastic, leading Xinian deeper into the store.
……
"This is it."
After about ten minutes, Xinian carefully selected a suitable piece of jewelry and had the saleswoman wrap it up.
"Okay, I'll pack it for you right away." The saleswoman's smile grew even brighter; such a straightforward and easy-going customer is a rare sight these days.
However, her smile quickly froze.
All I could see was the entrance to the jewelry store.
Accompanied by a sudden scream, several customers who wanted to leave the shop were pushed back in by a masked man!
*Thud!*
At the same time, two other masked, burly black men, armed with AK-47s, strode quickly through the glass door next to them!
"Is this ever going to end..." hope Nian turned around and saw this, his lips twitching slightly.
Can you please just shut up for a bit?
……
"Robbery! If you don't want to die, everyone stay on the spot!"
Seeing the customers and staff running around in panic, the masked man at the head of the group immediately pulled out a pistol from his waist and fired a shot at the ceiling inside the jewelry store!
boom! !
The hanging glass lamp shattered with a loud crash, and countless pieces of glass clattered and fell to the ground!
The six customers and four female employees in the store were all pale-faced and squatted down with their heads in their hands. The crotches of the two white-collar men were even soaked with sweat!
"Kid, you want to die, don't you?"
One of the masked, burly black men growled, staring coldly at the only black-haired boy still standing in the store, and raised his AK gun.
hope Nian then realized that, as a human being, he should indeed be afraid of guns.
Ordinary humans are indeed easily killed by guns.
However, looking at the dark muzzle of the gun pointed at him, hope Nian found it difficult to feel even the slightest bit of fear.
If it were the day before yesterday, it wouldn't be a problem, but now he has a body of steel...
hope Nian really wanted to say to the robber in a peaceful manner, "Please kill me."
However, considering that there were other hostages present, he reluctantly squatted down.
After intimidating all the customers and staff, the three robbers split into two groups: one armed with a gun guarding them, while the other two used specially made hammers to smash the counter and stuff a large amount of jewelry into their backpacks.
About three minutes.
Before the robbers could pack all the jewelry in the store into a package...
Outside the store, a sharp, loud siren blared, and several police cars with flashing warning lights on their roofs screeched to a halt on the road outside!
"Boss, the police are here!" a masked, burly black man exclaimed.
"Shut up! What are you afraid of? We have hostages! Drag them out and put them in front of us!"
As the gang leader spoke irritably, he immediately took a gun from one of his men, released the safety, and fired in rapid succession, spraying bullets wildly towards the door!
Da da da!!
The gun barrels spewed out a barrage of bullets, shattering the glass door and riddling the police car parked outside with bullets!
The police officers who got out of the car on the other side were about to fight back when they discovered that inside the jewelry store, two other burly robbers were already armed and threatening customers and employees to move to the front of the door.
……
"What's the situation on the ground?"
More police cars arrived at the scene with sirens blaring, and soon the jewelry store was completely surrounded.
One of the officers, a middle-aged man with a stern face, got out of a police car.
“Officer George!” A police officer immediately stepped forward to report.
"What's the situation on site?"
Officer George questioned them swiftly and decisively.
The policeman swallowed hard to moisten his dry throat and quickly replied, "There were three robbers in total. They had powerful firearms such as AKs and handguns. Inside, there were shop employees and customers as hostages—four men and seven women, plus a student who looked to be of Chinese descent..."
"Is the sniper in position?"
"We've arrived. However, the robbers are very alert and are hiding behind the counter and the hostages."
"What conditions do they want?" Officer George continued to ask.
"A van, carrying jewelry, left this place."
"You wish!"
Officer George gave a cold smile. Undeterred by the danger, he moved closer, using the makeshift shelter formed by several police cars as cover.
This distance.
The hostages were clearly lined up near the store entrance, with the three robbers standing behind them, their weapons and clothing only vaguely visible...
and many more!
Officer George suddenly opened his eyes wide, looking at the boy, one of the hostages, a thought popping into his mind—
What is he doing there?!
As Officer George saw the dark-haired boy, the boy seemed to see him as well and secretly made a gesture towards him.
Officer George was stunned, his mind filled with questions.
However, the boy's gesture was indicating:
"I'm going to break through!"
……
In the shop.
With a robber's gun pointed at the back of his head, hope Nian was standing in the area near the door.
He wasn't flustered at all; in fact, he was a little bored.
Being robbed for the first time and being taken hostage was quite a novel experience, to say the least.
But this experience gets boring after a while.
So Xinian decided to make a move.
If it were any other time...
He would choose to have Guan Luo notify his aunt, and then, in less than a minute, someone would descend from the sky and throw the three robbers into the air.
However, now that he has the steel body as a defensive guarantee, hope Nian is fully confident in handling the situation independently. The reason he didn't take action earlier was simply because he was concerned about the safety of the other hostages.
Fortunately.
