I Have Infinite Skill Points-Chapter 631: Masters of the Star Soul Realm Start Robbing Banks

Chapter 631: Chapter 631: Masters of the Star Soul Realm Start Robbing Banks

On the classical, romantic streets, Jiang Xinyu leaned against a stone pillar steeped in historical charm, smiling sweetly. Wang Lan held his camera, continuously pressing the shutter to capture Jiang Xinyu’s every beautiful and exquisite moment.

Cagalli smiled as she watched the two before her, a hint of envy deep in her eyes. Having spent these past few days with Wang Lan and Jiang Xinyu, Cagalli’s wariness had gradually subsided. They hadn’t made any inappropriate moves; they were purely there for tourism.

For White Eagle Country, this was undoubtedly good news. They weren’t concerned that Wang Lan and his companion would cause destruction. However, trouble usually followed wherever the Primeval Team appeared.

"Does it look good?" Jiang Xinyu came to Wang Lan’s side, holding the camera, and asked.

"Absolutely stunning!" Wang Lan affectionately tapped Jiang Xinyu’s cute nose.

This scene made Cagalli feel a pang of envy; she was witnessing yet another public display of their affection. Their love was so sweet it made Cagalli wish they would immediately go to Vegas and get married.

Suddenly, Wang Lan froze. Jiang Xinyu’s expression also changed drastically; they both simultaneously looked in the same direction. Cagalli’s heart lurched, though she didn’t understand what had happened to Wang Lan and Jiang Xinyu.

But the next second, a loud explosion came from not too far away.

BOOM!

The explosion erupted like thunder right beside them. Wang Lan and Jiang Xinyu’s figures flashed as they rushed out from the corner of the classical building complex. Not far away, at the entrance of a bank, a crowd of panic-stricken citizens of White Eagle Country were desperately fleeing.

"That place is..." Wang Lan turned his head to look at Cagalli, who was behind them.

"Citibank. Damn it!" Cagalli quickly pressed her earpiece. "Headquarters, Headquarters, there’s been an explosion at Citibank on Laizhou Andrew Street. We suspect a bank robbery is in progress."

"We’ve already received the report; the police will be there immediately."

Jiang Xinyu glanced at Wang Lan. "Shouldn’t we intervene?"

Wang Lan hesitated slightly but eventually shook his head. "White Eagle Country will handle it. Ordinary bank robberies aren’t our responsibility."

However, Wang Lan’s brows furrowed slightly. This robbery feels a bit different. In a typical robbery, the perpetrators would take hostages as leverage for negotiations. But letting hostages flee the bank freely like this didn’t make sense. Besides, none of the escaping hostages seemed to be carrying any briefcases or similar items, nor were any robbers mixed in with them.

In less than five minutes, police sirens wailed, rapidly approaching. This was something the police back home should learn from; while many things in White Eagle Country were inefficient, their police response time was the best in the world.

More than a dozen police cars surrounded the bank, and then dozens of heavily armed police officers emerged.

"GO! GO! GO!"

Soon, a group of police officers rushed into the bank, and gunfire immediately erupted. However, the gunfire lasted for less than five seconds before it suddenly ceased.

Wang Lan’s frown deepened. Something’s wrong, he thought. These robbers aren’t ordinary people.

Events quickly confirmed Wang Lan’s suspicion. Shortly after, a police officer, covered in blood, stumbled out of the bank entrance, shouting into his radio as he ran, "We need backup! We need Star Martial Warrior support! They’re all Star Martial Warriors...!"

Wang Lan turned his head to look at Cagalli. "Aren’t you going to help?"

"It’s not my responsibility," Cagalli replied indifferently, her expression perfectly matter-of-fact. Wang Lan couldn’t understand this.

"This city has heroes guarding it. I think Black Eagle will appear soon." Just as Cagalli finished speaking, a powerful Star Energy Fluctuation swept through the area, and a figure appeared in the sky.

At this moment, the bank’s doors burst open. Six people in black leather attire walked out, each holding a leather suitcase. Leading them was a woman with blonde hair and a mask, her leather attire both sexy and captivating.

"Hey! Please put down the things you’ve stolen, then come with me to the police station to confess your crimes!" Black Eagle landed. He was a Black Star Martial Warrior and spoke with an amusingly inflected, rap-like cadence.

A city’s hero was at least at the Titled Strongman level. This was White Eagle Country’s method of maintaining order, with each city having its own hero. The hero’s salary was paid from city finances, and the hero was also the city’s star and idol.

In White Eagle Country, the social status and idolization of heroes were the highest in the world. Even international superstars had to step aside for them. If the city’s children could get a photo with a hero, it was considered a great honor.

The black-clad individuals ignored Black Eagle’s words and continued to walk away slowly, still carrying the suitcases.

"Hey! It seems like you didn’t hear me. I guess I’ll have to use force then." As he spoke, Star Power began to dance around Black Eagle.

In that instant, the blonde woman vanished bizarrely and reappeared right beside Black Eagle. Startled, Black Eagle disappeared in a flash, but the woman, like a phantom, shadowed him relentlessly, reappearing the moment he did.

"You—"

Before Black Eagle could utter more than that single word, the woman sent him flying with a single punch.

This scene made Cagalli’s mind go blank. Black Eagle—he was a peak Star Sea Realm expert! Even if his strength wasn’t quite at the Titled Strongman level, he wasn’t far from it. And he was defeated so easily?

Just how strong was this woman?

"Mr. Fire Phoenix, would you please..."

Before Cagalli could finish her sentence, Wang Lan had already taken a step forward and vanished.

The blonde woman had just dealt with Black Eagle when a powerful aura suddenly bore down on her. With no time to hesitate, she fiercely threw a punch in response.

Wang Lan’s fist collided fiercely with hers. The scene seemed to freeze for an instant as violent shockwaves swept outward.

Within a five-hundred-meter radius, all windowpanes and glass doors shattered. The nearest bank collapsed halfway under the terrifying force of the shockwave.

For a moment, it was as if time stood still, Wang Lan and his opponent locked in their exchange of blows. The terrifying energy distorted the space around them. Wang Lan, his expression grave, stared intently into the blonde woman’s eyes, hoping to discern something.

Just one punch was enough to reveal the level of her strength. This blonde woman could be ranked among the top twenty strongest individuals in the world. I didn’t use my full strength in that punch, but she might not have used hers either.

Someone with such strength robbing a bank in White Eagle Country? What a joke! With that kind of power, she could ask the White Eagle Country government for anything.

As Wang Lan moved, Jiang Xinyu also acted. She vanished like a ghost, appearing instantly before one of the black-clad men. This man wasn’t very strong, perhaps only at the Galaxy Stage.

BOOM!

A black-clad man was sent flying by Jiang Xinyu’s punch. His briefcase burst open in mid-air, and Gold bars rained down, gleaming brilliantly in the sunlight.

Wang Lan taunted, "So, it really is a Gold robbery. Lady, with your kind of strength, since when did you stoop to something so beneath you?"

BOOM!

The blonde woman forced Wang Lan back. Her body became enveloped in a white glow, her imposing aura soaring instantly. Wang Lan’s expression turned extremely grave; the Phoenix Tail Flower rune appeared on his forehead, and resplendent flames enveloped him.

The white light around the woman faded, revealing a new form. A pair of snow-white wings unfurled from her back, luminous as moonlight and pure as snow.

"An Angel?" Wang Lan was slightly stunned. What’s going on? Are Angels so poor now they have to rob banks?

His opponent moved in a flash, attacking Jiang Xinyu. But Wang Lan, right beside Jiang Xinyu, was there to stop her. Both their figures vanished simultaneously.

BOOM! BOOM!

Violent shockwaves erupted. Even Cagalli, with her Star Sea Realm strength, could only feel the terrifying aftermath of the battle, unable to even glimpse the shadows of the two combatants.

Violent explosions continuously rocked the air. Suddenly, a streak of light plummeted from the sky. The Angel had been punched out of the air by Wang Lan, crashing down onto the street with a thunderous sound.

Instantly, the ground rippled like water. The pristine road disintegrated, and a large crater formed. Buildings within several hundred meters collapsed and shattered from the impact.

Wang Lan swiftly pursued, another punch thundering down.

A Holy Light exploded in front of Wang Lan. His punch struck the Holy Light, shattering it instantly. The powerful resulting shockwave struck him, sending Wang Lan flying into the air.

The Angel transformed into a streak of light and shot skyward. Just as Wang Lan steadied himself and was about to give chase, a ripple appeared in the sky, and the Angel’s figure vanished into it.

Wang Lan halted. Only a vast expanse of ruins remained beneath his feet.

The black-clad men who had been knocked down by Jiang Xinyu suddenly had their heads explode simultaneously. Wang Lan didn’t need to say anything; even Cagalli recognized this as the work of Paradise Bird.

WEE-OOO WEE-OOO—

Sirens wailed, arriving right on cue as the battle ended. Dozens of police cars appeared from all directions, and hundreds of police officers surrounded every intersection in the vicinity. Then, three plainclothes CAI agents strode onto the scene.

"My God—"

"Mr. Wang Lan, I would like to know what happened?" one of the agents asked, his expression grim.

"As you can see, a group of robbers raided the bank, and then your hero, Black Eagle, arrived. Unfortunately, Black Eagle was killed by the robbers. At that moment, as someone with a sense of justice, I couldn’t just stand by and watch. So I engaged the main perpetrator. Unexpectedly, her strength was astonishingly high. She fought me to a standstill and eventually escaped."

"Shit! You’re telling me robbers with this kind of destructive power were just robbing a bank? What did they take?"

Wang Lan pointed at the Gold scattered around. "These."

"I would’ve preferred they’d taken this Gold! Look at the damage caused by your battle; it’s a hundred times—at least a hundred times—the value of this Gold!"

"Are you suggesting I shouldn’t have intervened? That I should have pretended I didn’t see anything?" Wang Lan’s expression turned icy. In an instant, the agent opposite him shuddered. He felt a terrifying murderous aura that shifted from furious to chillingly calm in a heartbeat.

"Sorry, very sorry. My colleague didn’t mean to blame you," another agent interjected. "However, I would like to know, who was that individual whose strength was on par with yours?"

"I would like to know as well." Wang Lan spread his hands.

"Mr. Wang Lan, I think we can stop playing coy, can’t we? Did you come to White Eagle Country because you received some intelligence? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that you were here just as they were robbing this bank? Alright, I believe their target definitely wasn’t these Gold bars. Gold bars aren’t worth someone with her kind of power coming to steal. I hope you’ll honor our agreement with the International Security Council and share any intelligence you have with us."

"Sorry, I really don’t know. I’m just here purely for tourism."

"Mr. Wang Lan, I will be making inquiries with the International Security Council. In the meantime, could you and Miss Jiang Xinyu please cooperate with us and provide a statement?"
