"Lana, let's go in and take a look." Sun Yu was genuinely furious. Those damn robbers could have shown up at any time, but they had to pick the exact moment he wanted to rob a bank to come and spoil the fun. He couldn't let that slide.
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Lana naturally had no objections. The two of them walked into Eastern Bank as if nobody else was there.
The police officers nearby saw Sun Yu and Lana and immediately marched over with grim expressions. "Hey, you two brats! Get back right now. There are robbers inside. Don't interfere with police business!"
Sun Yu was just about to say something when Lana's expression darkened. Her aura erupted, as if the Grim Reaper had arrived, and her overwhelming battle power formed a giant hand that clamped tightly around the policeman's throat.
The poor East City policeman trembled like he'd stuck his finger in an electrical socket. All he needed was someone to put on a disco track.
"Lana, he's about to die! You promised me you wouldn't kill Earthlings for no reason!" Sun Yu scolded her.
Although Lana had spent the entire year asleep, her battle power had still grown from its original level to a far greater one. Luckily, she hadn't fully unleashed her pressure; otherwise, this poor Earthling could have been frightened to death by her aura alone.
After withdrawing her aura, Lana stuck her cute tongue out at Sun Yu, completely unlike the ferocious figure she'd been moments earlier.
"Honestly, I give up!" Sun Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Ignoring the policeman sprawled on the ground with his pants wet, the two strode straight into the bank.
No one dared to stop them as they passed—not even the East City police officers who had been so arrogant a moment earlier.
Once they entered the bank lobby, Sun Yu had no interest in admiring the luxurious architecture of Eastern Bank. There were seven or eight robbers inside, but to him and Lana, they were all weaklings with battle power below theirs.
The robbers had split into two groups. Three of them were keeping watch over the hostages in the lobby, while the other five had already carried several large bags of cash out of the vault. If they really got away with the robbery, that haul would be enough to keep them living it up for several lifetimes. Too bad for them they'd run into Sun Yu.
Sun Yu and Lana's arrival immediately caught the attention of one of the robbers. He shot his accomplices a look, then walked up to the two of them, a semi-automatic submachine gun in hand. "Hey, kid. Behave yourself. Go crouch over there, or I'll blow your head off."
Sun Yu and Lana naturally paid no attention to the robber's threat. They continued walking straight toward the men carrying the cash.
"Hey, I said—"
The ignored robber raised his submachine gun and aimed it at Sun Yu. But the moment he lifted it, Lana flicked out her right hand and sent him flying several meters. He hit the ground, his life hanging in the balance.
"Oops, I saw someone threatening you just now, so I acted in a panic and didn't watch my strength. You won't hold it against me, will you, Kael?" Lana looked like a pitiful little girl who'd done something wrong. Sun Yu almost fell for it.
As if! Would a mighty Saiyan really be threatened by a machine gun? Couldn't you come up with a better excuse? You were obviously just itching for a fight. You're a violent brute through and through, so why do you keep putting on that harmless act? Sun Yu was at a loss, but he couldn't do a thing about his dear cousin. His mission to train... ahem, teach her was a long and arduous one!
"Damn it! What did you do to Paul?"
The commotion Lana had caused had drawn the attention of everyone in the bank lobby. All the robbers chambered their rounds and advanced on Sun Yu and Lana, their faces hostile.
"Put down the money, and I'll let you leave," Sun Yu said grimly.
"Hahahaha..."
The robbers burst into laughter, as if they'd just heard the funniest joke in the world. "Hey, little brat, do you even understand the situation? There are seven of us, and we're all armed. So what if you managed to sneak up on Paul and knock him down?"
A huge, bald robber stepped forward and cracked his knuckles. "Boss, don't waste your breath on them. Let me teach these two brats a lesson."
The other robbers sneered and made way for the bald giant. He walked straight up to Sun Yu and looked down at him. "Kid, if you can take one punch from me, all this money is yours."
"Hahahaha..."
The other robbers roared with laughter, while the hostages crouched nearby looked at Sun Yu sympathetically. Sun Yu merely nodded. The bald giant, dreaming of victory, threw a punch at him.
A dull thud rang out.
The boy didn't go flying as everyone had expected. The bald giant's fist had hit him as if it had struck a wall of solid metal, leaving his wrist numb.
"This... this can't be!"
"Oh my god, he didn't even flinch! Is that kid made of iron?"
Sun Yu paid no attention to the murmurs. He hadn't wanted to get into a fight with these robbers in the first place. What was the point of picking on weaklings with such low battle power? If they'd cooperated, he'd have been happy to take the money and leave. But since they'd insisted on causing trouble, he'd just have to teach them a little lesson. Yes, that was what he'd do!
As everyone watched, Sun Yu slowly raised his right hand and extended his index finger. Then he gently pointed it toward the bald giant.
His movement was so slow it could hardly have been slower, yet every pair of eyes was fixed on his finger as it gradually tapped the bald man. The next second, the giant let out a cry and flew several meters backward. Perhaps because Sun Yu had controlled his strength, the man was still able to lean shakily against the wall and spit blood after landing. He was in much better shape than Paul had been, at least he was still alive!
But that light tap from Sun Yu's finger was enough to make the remaining robbers question everything they knew about the world. This made no damn sense according to the laws of physics!
Bah! Who cared about the laws of physics at a time like this? They had to save face! So the remaining robbers revealed the most powerful weapons in their arsenal: their supposedly unstoppable semi-automatic submachine guns, said to kill anyone who stood in their way, even the Buddha himself.
As mentioned earlier, Lana tended to lose control when someone with the surname Sun was threatened. She didn't care how flimsy that excuse was. In any case, Lana struck again.
Crack! Crack! Crack...
The sounds of five bones shattering rang through the bank lobby. No one saw Lana move; she was simply too fast. Everyone saw a blur, heard five bones snap, and then saw five robbers who'd been holding their guns a moment earlier sprawled all over the floor.
Sun Yu secretly glanced at the East City police officers cowering by the entrance, so scared they'd wet themselves. With a helpless sigh, he turned to Lana, who was putting on another innocent, pitiful act. "You're a Saiyan, and all you do is pick on ordinary people. Aren't you ashamed?"
Lana smiled sheepishly. Suddenly, someone behind them shouted.
"Don't come any closer, or I'll kill this hostage!"
Uh, it seemed Lana had overlooked one of the robbers. If he'd just stayed on the ground and played dead, he'd have been fine. Who would have bothered with him? He just had to pop up now and drag things out!
Sun Yu's mouth twitched as he turned to look at the scene-stealing... ahem, the robber. The man really had grabbed a hostage and was pressing a machine gun against the hostage's head as he glared coldly at Sun Yu and Lana.
Perhaps the robber naively thought Sun Yu was some kind of righteous hero helping the police.
But when Sun Yu looked at the hostage, he thought he recognized him. The hostage wasn't very old and was rather thin, with a messy head of silver hair. Behind his thick glasses was a pair of slightly dazed-looking eyes, and a heavy walrus mustache sat above his lips.
He really did look familiar, Sun Yu thought. He just couldn't remember who the man was. Perhaps he was some character from the Dragon Ball anime.
P.S. The first Dragon Ball character is about to appear. Readers, take a guess: who is he?
