Those Three Aren't Inferior to Me!

Old Pi was awesome, and Li Congxin certainly couldn't let the old man down.

Just as Madame Gao cried out in pain and covered her face, he had gathered all his strength and swung his club back, smashing it into her chest and abdomen.

With a loud "Bang!", Madame Gao's scream abruptly stopped. Li Congxin had blasted her ten meters away, and she only stopped after crashing through the men's restroom behind her.

On the other side, Murakami, in his desperation, took a shot to the leg from the Punisher but still managed to stab a clear hole through the latter's stomach with his blade.

Just as he was about to swing his cleaver to chop off the head of this detestable villain who had caused them so much loss, he was suddenly swarmed by countless flying ants.

Seeing this, Murakami quickly took a deep breath and blew hard, scattering the flying ants that were attacking his face. By then, Li Congxin had already rushed forward, shielding the Punisher behind him.

Seeing Li Congxin free, and looking at Old Pi on the other side who was also looking at him, coupled with the increasingly close sound of sirens, Kimura finally confirmed that today's operation had ended in complete failure.

What was supposed to be a perfect kill had ended in a mutual defeat…

Although unwilling, knowing it was impossible, he decisively made the most correct choice. He retreated several meters back and shouted to Bakuto, who was beating Daredevil on the other side, "Stop wasting your energy! Grab Madame Gao, and let's go!"

At this moment, Madame Gao, who had been knocked into the men's restroom, rushed out of the rubble. Bakuto helped her up, and together with Kimura, who was shot in the leg, they quickly retreated from the battlefield.

Li Congxin and the others did not stop them from leaving.

In fact, even with Old Pi's assistance and Madame Gao being unexpectedly heavily injured, their combat strength was at best evenly matched. They did not have an absolute advantage.

It was already the best outcome that the other side was willing to stop voluntarily.

Now, everyone had the same thing to do: go back, lick their wounds, sharpen their claws, and wait for the next encounter to deliver a truly fatal blow!

"It's over… It's over… It's over…"

As the sirens grew closer, more than ten police cars drove into the park. Li Congxin had just helped up the severely injured Punisher when swarms of police officers emerged from the police cars. They first set up shields, and then all the police officers hid behind the shields, aiming various rifles and handguns at the group of heroes.

Among the police, a middle-aged white man with a slightly higher rank took out a megaphone and shouted loudly, "Listen up, you people! You are surrounded. Quickly put down your weapons, turn off your speakers, and squat on the ground with your hands on your head!"

"You have the right to remain silent, but anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law!"

What familiar lines!

Li Congxin had seen these lines countless times in movies, but this was his first time experiencing such a situation in reality.

However, he figured it was just a routine opening, like a bandit's "This mountain is mine," completely devoid of substance.

But if you want me to lay down my weapons, I can tolerate that. But you want me to turn off the speakers?

Are you kidding me!

This music is playing automatically after activation, and I can't control it at all!

"Where is there eternal victory, where are there people who never leave? Where is there an endless song, where is there a feast that never ends? Only love runs deep as the sea, with boundless righteousness, letting clouds scatter and winds gather…"

Fortunately, it seemed the system knew the fight was over. As the last lyric was sung, the background music finally stopped.

Li Congxin, secretly relieved, decided not to act rashly. Instead, he cast a pleading glance at Old Pi, waiting for his cue.

Facing the same situation, Old Pi handled it much better. Seeing this, he calmly raised his hands and said with a smile, "Officers, I think you've made a mistake. We are all law-abiding citizens who were attacked by criminals and had to defend ourselves. Chief Gordon can vouch for me."

"Hmph!" The white police officer in charge snorted, "I've never seen a law-abiding citizen wearing a mask and carrying a weapon being attacked by criminals. Stop the nonsense, do as I say, drop your weapons, put your hands on your head, and squat down!"

As the white police officer barked his orders, the other officers cocked their weapons, ready to open fire if the few refused to cooperate.

"Hey!"

Just then, a sudden voice came from the walkie-talkie on the waist of the white officer: "Is that Officer Solomon? It's Gordon!"

The white officer, known as Solomon, was taken aback. He quickly took out his walkie-talkie and said, "Chief Gordon, I'm in the process of arresting criminals. What are your orders, sir?"

A gentle voice came from Chief Gordon through the microphone: "You've done a great job, taking down dozens of gangster thugs in one go and making an outstanding contribution to the security of New York City!"

After praising Solomon profusely, Chief Gordon changed the subject, "As for those few hostages who were injured, you don't need to worry about them. I'll arrange for others to take them to the hospital. Clean up the scene and you can stand down. I'll be waiting to celebrate your success!"

With Chief Gordon saying that, if Solomon didn't understand the implication, his career wouldn't have reached this point.

First, he heard the guy, who was completely covered up, say he knew Chief Gordon, and then Chief Gordon issued such a seemingly absurd order. Who would believe it wasn't a dirty deal?

However, he wasn't stupid either.

He was clearly a beneficiary of this shady deal.

If the guys dressed as superheroes wanted to slip away, the credit for taking down the thugs would go to their police force. As the supervising leader of the police force, Chief Gordon would also gain a political achievement. And these guys dressed as superheroes would also avoid a lot of trouble.

In this way, everyone wins.

As for the truth of the matter, ha!

Does that even matter?

The group got into Old Pi's van and drove towards the hospital. Old Pi then removed the mask from his face and said, "I saw you parkouring across the road in a video that went viral online. I knew something was up, so I made preparations in advance. Fortunately, I managed to make it in time."

Waving away Li Congxin's attempt to explain, Old Pi directly asked, "Do you know who they were?"

Hearing Old Pi's question, Li Congxin's eyes lit up. After glancing at the system interface, he immediately replied, "I only know that those three old guys are very powerful, and each of them is no weaker than me!"
