Chapter 120: Milestone Villain

"Boss, three more gangs have joined our operation; they're from the Clinton neighborhood."

Bobby felt a bit exhilarated; this was the first time he had felt he was leading over a thousand people.

Outside of this, this was already the scale of a city's top-tier gang; not to mention being targeted from all sides, the daily expenses alone would be a terrifying figure.

But now, not only had the government not ordered them to disperse, these gangs were also basically self-funding, relying entirely on the "righteous cause" of this operation to rally everyone.

Bobby tilted his head slightly as he spoke; wearing an exquisite suit, he looked as if he were truly a gang leader.

And Bai Cangshu followed behind him, looking like a lackey.

Bai Cangshu did not reply; he was just looking at various pieces of information. The benefit of building b45 into a brand was that the information channels would become more and more numerous.

He knew that among the several Reincarnator factions in this mission world at the moment, the one with the greatest advantage was undoubtedly the remnants of the 【9527】 team from the 【Vought Faction】;

The second was the unknown Reincarnator of the 【The Boys】 faction, who theoretically had government support;

The third was his own side.

But the strength of the 【The Boys】 faction actually only existed in theory; the government often would not provide them with support at all, and most of the time, the current 【The Boys】 faction was pitifully weak.

The only power they could rely on was the Japanese-descendant Ability User 【Kimiko】, who possessed powerful Regeneration and physical attributes, as well as quite savage combat skills; she was likely in the strongest tier below The Seven in this world.

Of course, this was if the Reincarnators did not intervene.

Bai Cangshu thought for a moment and decided to first eliminate that Reincarnator from the 【The Boys】 faction.

He patted George and Ans, handing the tablet to the two of them.

On the tablet was a skinny young man; it was a photo of him after losing his girlfriend, his face covered in blood and his expression one of shock.

【Hughie】, one of the male protagonists of this world, once had his girlfriend hit into a pile of minced meat by 【A-Train】, who was high on drugs and speeding by with God Speed while he was chatting with her on the street.

He was therefore chosen by Butcher to participate in the operation to kill 【Translucent】.

Hughie was a kind person; in The Boys, he almost served the duty of restraining Butcher's overly transgressive actions.

But kind people are always useless in this world.

"Notify all members, and spread it to other neighborhoods and the internet."

"This Hughie is likely involved with 【Starlight】 from The Seven; he abandoned his former girlfriend, who was hit into nothingness by 【A-Train】, threw himself into the embrace of The Seven, and signed a settlement agreement."

"We must list him as an 【Unwelcome Person】."

Bai Cangshu smiled warmly, as if he really just regarded Hughie as an unwelcome person.

But many times, you only need to release a signal, and many of your admirers will infinitely amplify your actions.

b45 articulated Hughie's actions and expressed their disapproval.

Naturally, there would be a few extremists among those million-plus gang members, or those wanting to make a name for themselves, who would target Hughie more violently and viciously.

As long as Hughie was targeted, the 【The Boys】 faction would have nowhere to hide and would inevitably be brought out into the open.

Half a day later, when the b45 parade had grown to nearly two thousand people, it finally alerted the government departments; a large number of police began to block the roads, and municipal officials also began trying to communicate with Bobby.

Bai Cangshu did not come forward, leaving Bobby to negotiate with the other side.

He looked at the police on the perimeter, who were almost all equipped with riot shields; the atmosphere between the two sides was tense.

At a time like this, the slightest disturbance would cause a massive riot.

Standing on the roof of the block, 【Calamity】 watched the growing b45 team, his sharp eyes noticing the man in the pink robe.

It was Tao Baibai; this b45 was indeed the handiwork of Tao Baibai.

He had previously fought with 【Akudo】 in a mission world and knew that although that child was fierce and evil, he was not the type who was good at using his brain.

The current situation proved his guess, but...

A sniper rifle appeared in his hand.

"It's a pity you're still not smart enough, Tao Baibai..."

"What's the use of whipping up a team of this rabble? Do you think these ordinary people can help you kill me, or kill Homelander?"

He slowly locked the scope onto Bobby, but he thought about it; at a time like this, killing an ordinary Plot Character just for a bit of Reputation for the Triad, why not aim directly at Tao Baibai...

An ordinary person like Bobby could be killed at any time.

He felt that Tao Baibai thought the problem was too simple; if one were the first Reincarnator to enter the mission world, one could indeed develop power this way and mobilize the momentum.

But now, without that environment free of interference, wanting to use public opinion to unify community gangs and create a behemoth was simply impossible.

He only needed to fire a shot at a time like this, and the government police would inevitably have a violent conflict with b45.

In this way, the opponent's development momentum would be curbed.

Calamity locked the scope onto the center of Tao Baibai's brow and hooked his finger on the trigger.

But at this moment, the Tao Baibai in his scope suddenly curled his lips, revealing a clear smile.

The next moment, Tao Baibai looked up and actually looked directly at him.

Calamity was stunned, but his finger still pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The huge gunshot instantly shocked everyone.

Amidst flying flesh and blood, George didn't react at all; he only saw Ans's shoulder, along with the chest of a brother behind him, explode directly.

Amidst the flying flesh and blood, Ans was blown away by the huge inertia, life or death unknown.

George was stunned on the spot.

Only then did he hear a familiar voice shout, "The police opened fire!"

"People are dead!"

The two-thousand-person team was already noisy; at this moment, the sound of the sniper rifle made everyone terrified. One voice shouted that the police had opened fire and someone was dead, and everyone started shouting.

Anger and fear were mixed together.

The guys on the perimeter immediately pushed hard against the police in front of them, and some even started pulling out weapons.

Seeing this scene, the police force, who were already at an overwhelming numerical disadvantage, immediately raised their guns and aimed as they saw the gang members start to pull out weapons.

"Stop!"

"Listen to me, there's a misunderstanding here!"

The leader of the municipal department was a middle-aged man with a large bald patch; he was drenched in sweat but remained calm, crouching down to avoid unknown gunfire, shouting for both the police and the gangsters to stay calm.

He knew that the shot was likely fired by someone on purpose, with the goal of inciting chaos.

At this moment, he even thought of the Triad and those forces, but before he could continue speaking.

!

He saw an Asian man in the gangster camp stand up, pointing his index finger at him.

Blazing white Spirit Particle gathered at Bai Cangshu's fingertip; the 【Spirit Gun】, which should have been extremely taxing on the Spirit, seemed to consume almost nothing in Bai Cangshu's hands at this moment.

Although this was an ability inherent to the 【Spirit-Gathering Finger】 equipment, it was still influenced by Bai Cangshu's current 【Energy:?】.

Clearly, Bai Cangshu's 【Ten Thousand Calamity Yin Spirit Yellow Springs Body】 had a strong enhancement effect on Soul-related abilities.

Both the condensation speed and the size of this Spirit Gun far exceeded the level of a normal lv4.

Hum!

Bai Cangshu felt a strong recoil, and his whole body retreated a short distance.

The blazing white Spirit Gun, nearly a meter in diameter, blasted out with a roar; the bald municipal department leader saw nothing, only that man pointing a finger at him, then leaping backward.

Bang!

Blood and gore flew everywhere, and only half a torso remained on the spot, swaying twice before falling to the ground.

"Under attack, government officials are under attack!"

"Counterattack, counterattack immediately!"

At this moment, the situation spiraled completely out of control.

The bloody conflict could no longer be stopped.

The police holding riot shields immediately pushed forward, throwing tear gas canisters as if they were free.

The gangster members trapped in the street were already dissatisfied, and at this moment, it erupted completely; there were quite a few Ability Users among this group, and one person leaped high, jumping directly over the riot shields and knocking a policewoman away with a single punch.

Bang!

Then they were shot down by a bullet.

But countless figures exerted force at this moment, suddenly pushing over the riot shields, and a stampede began to occur.

Along with the reporters and civilians who were originally watching the development of the situation on the outskirts of the street, they could only scream in panic at this time, and were then submerged by the black tide of people.

Bai Cangshu stood in the middle of the scene, watching the bloody incident unfold, as the progress of the Milestone refreshed rapidly.

【You have caused an incident, resulting in the deaths of over 30 civilians, Milestone progress updated】

【You have completed the Milestone: Villain】

【Villain: After equipping, you will deal extra damage to any Orderly Faction characters, and gain an extra Reputation bonus with Evil Faction characters】

Standing on the top of the building, Jiebo, who had intended to put away his sniper rifle and run, discovered that neither that Tao Baibai nor the federal police below were paying any attention to him, the instigator of the attack.

Through the scope, he saw Tao Baibai standing in the center of the chaos, a smile on his face.

He finally understood that the shot he had fired had probably helped the other party as well.

This Tao Baibai, from the very beginning, was probably not thinking about expanding the b45 gang into a major force at all.

This guy... is pursuing chaos.

Jiebo's expression became slightly more serious; he rarely saw such a guy, and in a sense, this kind of guy was even more vicious than 【Evil Child】 and Reincarnators like himself who enjoyed slaughtering and sexually abusing Plot Characters.

Jiebo looked at his target, the b45 gang leader Bobby, who was acting completely panicked in this chaos, knowing only to keep begging Tao Baibai for help, knowing that the true core of this gang was indeed Tao Baibai.

He turned to put away his sniper rifle; since that shot missed, he understood that the sniper rifle was ineffective against Tao Baibai, as the other party possessed some kind of Killing Intent Perception ability.

If he could not completely restrain his killing intent, he would be discovered the moment he aimed.

Since that was the case, continuing had little meaning.

He did not want to fight Tao Baibai in such a chaotic situation.

The sniper rifle in his hand disappeared, and he turned to go downstairs.

But the next moment.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out once again.

Jiebo looked down, staring blankly at the hole in his chest, wanting to speak, but could only spray out blood foam.

He waved his hand, no longer having much strength, and as blood splattered into the air in front of him, a human-shaped figure appeared.

"You all must have thought you were the hunters, and that I should be hiding in Vought Tower, afraid to appear."

"Heh..."

Worked late yesterday, so one less update today; there will be another update in the afternoon, sorry.
