Amazing…
The people behind Bai Ye were already drenched in sweat.
Bai Ye's ability to provoke enemies was simply too strong; just a few words and he'd completely offended everyone below.
If the company's doors hadn't been forcibly closed and locked, and if the security guards maintaining order hadn't desperately been holding them back, these people would probably have already swarmed into the building.
"You lot, a bunch of miscellaneous species down there, I know you're furious, but I can stand up here and look down on you while I insult you, and all you can do is rage impotently. Doesn't that make you angry~?"
Bai Ye raised an eyebrow, smirking. The words coming out of his handsome face were enough to stir up the deepest anger within people.
At the same time, watching the news broadcast, among the special individuals:
Deaf Person: He's so handsome. The person in this news must be very polite.
Blind Person: He must be a real jerk.
Mute Person: …
Meanwhile, Bai Ye watched the crowd below, still yelling into the air.
"I know you're angry with me. You think I shouldn't be collecting a book tax and want me to withdraw it. I officially announce to you, that's absolutely impossible."
"Now, not only am I going to scold you, but in a few days, after the bill passes, I'll be lying at home, watching the money from your bank accounts – probably not more than your card's PIN – the fifteen dollars being siphoned off."
"Thinking about it like that, doesn't it make you even angrier?" Bai Ye looked at the crowd below with a grin, using his words to pour fuel on the fire of their anger.
"Oh, right, after the fifteen-dollar tax is collected, I have a new book coming out: Everyone Can Cultivate 2.0. My second book will use a pre-sale system. That means I'll take the money from your bank accounts first, and only release the book after I've collected enough."
"And the amount of tax for the next book depends on you!" Bai Ye said, looking at the crowd and laughing.
What does he mean, a second book?
"What do you mean the tax amount depends on them?"
At this moment, everyone, from the people at the bottom to the group behind Bai Ye, as well as everyone watching the news broadcast, fell silent, wanting to know the details.
"Alright, listen up, you garbage down there. When my second book is published, I'll set new tax rates based on your behavior."
Bai Ye announced to the crowd below:
"Everyone who slanders me behind my back will get a tax increase!"
"Those who curse me online will get an even bigger tax increase!"
"Those who insult me and are seen by me will have their taxes increased even more severely!"
Everyone was dumbfounded again. This was just too arrogant.
Someone immediately stood up and cursed, "Fuck you, you sourpuss bitch, you're being a dictator! I'm not only going to oppose the tax on your second book, but you won't get any tax from the first one either!"
"Those who oppose my tax increase will also have their taxes increased," Bai Ye said calmly.
"For the next book, it'll be 100 dollars per person to start. If you don't want to pay, then the second book won't be released. I don't lack money. When I live to be 300 years old relying on the inner strength from the second book, the weeds on your graves will probably be a yard high."
"Isn't that a bit too much…" Gwen said quietly, watching the live broadcast. She was referring to the protesters before, but now the subject of her words was Bai Ye.
Why would I think this bad guy would suffer a loss? His personality can't stand any kind of loss. Gwen thought to herself.
On Mutant Island, everyone watching the television cheered. Never before had a mutant been so tough towards humans; Bai Ye was simply their racial hero.
"That's right, go get them!" Magneto was excited like a sixty or seventy-year-old child. But he didn't know that in a little while, Bai Ye would actually be going to do it.
At this moment, the crowd below was already filled with righteous indignation, glaring at Bai Ye who was looking down from the building. It seemed their cervical spondylosis was about to be cured.
At this time, Kingpin walked up at the right moment and whispered, "Mr. Bai, our people are almost here."
Bai Ye nodded slightly, looking down at the crowd, not a single person leaving. Suddenly, he felt a surge of kindness and said,
"To avoid endless tax increases, you have one minute to decide. Those who choose to stay will have their taxes significantly increased, so those who want to leave, leave now."
But the people below were already enraged by Bai Ye. Even though Bai Ye offered a way out, few people left. Instead, due to Bai Ye's provocation, the number of protesters increased to over 300.
Bai Ye didn't force them. Smiling, he selected a song from his phone, pressed play, and then held the microphone close to the phone, letting the song slowly broadcast.
The next moment, everyone in the crowd heard a somewhat upbeat song emanating from the broadcast. Bai Ye gently left the phone and the broadcast on the balcony, waiting quietly.
Soon, after about 40 seconds, a van slowly stopped outside the crowd of protesters. Then, ten men, whose appearance and build were unremarkable, got out of the car.
The others in the protest just glanced at them and looked away, thinking they were just another group of protesters joining in.
When Bai Ye saw those few people, he smiled and finally urged, "Time's almost up. 10, 9, 8…"
The crowd below didn't move. Instead, they looked at Bai Ye on the balcony with mocking eyes. Who would be afraid?
Bai Ye calmly finished the last few numbers: "...3! 2!..."
He didn't say "1". Instead, he turned and walked away. Then, amidst the slightly upbeat background music, a scream suddenly pierced the air.
"Aah!"
Everyone looked. A man was clutching his leg, sprawled on the ground. Both of his legs were visibly twisted, and he was wailing in agony.
Soon, the sound of bones shattering echoed continuously. As the figures in the crowd spun around, people started falling, screaming like a field of chives being mowed.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
"Aaaaaaaaaah!"
The sound of bones cracking, screams, and upbeat music mixed together, creating a bizarre scene.
This scene unfolded before the shocked, terrified, and even horrified eyes of everyone watching the live stream.
Bai Ye strolled over to Johnny, and spread his hands helplessly. "See? I told you to leave quickly, but you wouldn't listen. Seriously."
Johnny's legs were trembling with fear. Facing Bai Ye, who was truly ruthless, he was terrified, afraid that his legs would give out and he'd end up kneeling before him.
"You... you're right."
