I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 729 - 501 The Real Magic

After all, everyone had witnessed the robber's capriciousness. He would shoot without any provocation, leaving no room for negotiation.

"You, who are you?"

Upon seeing Xia Liang's sudden appearance, the robber's expression tightened once again. His forehead veins bulged as he aimed the gun at Xia Liang, ready to shoot at the slightest disagreement.

"Bro, don't be impulsive. I'm the driver," Xia Liang said with a slight smile.

"Just now, my car was requisitioned by the Protectors. They gave me ten thousand Yuan and said I had to cooperate with the police operation. Otherwise, they said it would ruin my credit. I'm a victim too, you see. Now they've asked me to come be your driver."

The robber looked at Xia Liang with suspicion. "Really? Then why are you dressed so strangely?"

Xia Liang spread his hands. "I could say it's because I like wearing trench coats and think they make me look handsome. Would you believe me?"

Just then, Yun Bing shouted from behind Xia Liang, "Listen here, robber! The driver has been sent to you. Hurry up and release the hostage!"

Believing most of it now, the robber said with a malicious smile, "No rush. Once I get in the car and leave this place, I'll be sure to release the hostage."

As he spoke, the robber stood up and directed Xia Liang, "You, come here and carry this snakeskin bag. Follow me."

This was why he had demanded the Protectors send a driver. After all, with one hand holding the hostage and the other holding the gun, he had no free hands to carry the snakeskin bag.

The snakeskin bag was filled with the gold and jewels he had robbed, and there was no way he would abandon them. Otherwise, why would he have bothered painstakingly casing the jewelry store for the robbery?

"Alright, bro. But hey, could you give me a little compensation for this afterward? You see the huge sacrifice I'm making, not to mention how terrified I am," Xia Liang said.

He was trying to stabilize the robber's mood, as a greedy person is easier to deal with than a calm one.

Sure enough, a smug smile appeared on the robber's face. "Young man, as long as you do a good job, I'll definitely give you a cut once I'm safely away from here."

Of course, whether the robber would kill Xia Liang afterward or let him go was another matter entirely.

From a distance, Yun Bing and the others relaxed slightly when they saw Xia Liang successfully approach the robber and quickly earn his trust. But their curiosity was immediately piqued, and they were eager to see how Xia Liang would subdue the robber. After all, the robber was armed and unpredictable, ruthless and cunning, and liable to shoot at any moment.

"Captain, how do you think Master Xia is going to subdue him? I heard Master Xia has gotten into magic recently. He's not planning to use magic, is he?"

"Magic? It's possible, but you need props for magic, and I don't see any on him."

"This robber kills without batting an eye and has already injured two people. He's here to rob, not to watch a magic show…"

At the same time, as Xia Liang drew close to the robber and smoothly took the snakeskin bag, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"Boss, why are you pointing a banana at me?"

The robber froze, then subconsciously retorted, "Banana? Banana my ass! This is a gun!"

"Huh? What the fuck? What's going on? Where's my gun?!"

As soon as he finished speaking and glanced down at his right hand, he discovered that the gun he was holding had somehow turned into a banana.

"See? I was right. Why are you threatening me with a banana?" Xia Liang asked with a smile, setting down the snakeskin bag.

"Damn it! You're messing with me! You did this! Who the hell are you? You used a sleight of hand trick on me, right? This banana in my hand is supposed to be a gun!"

With that, the robber clenched the banana in his right hand and mimed shooting it at Xia Liang. However, he squeezed too hard, bursting the peel and squashing the fruit inside.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! It really turned into a banana! What the hell kind of game are you playing? Who the hell are you?"

The robber was seething with rage and panic, staring venomously at Xia Liang. He didn't know whether to throw the banana away or keep it, and his usually sallow face turned crimson with anger.

He was only a threat to the police because he had a gun. Now that it was gone, that threat was neutralized. Would the officers still hesitate? Of course not. The moment they swarmed him, he'd be a dead man.

"I forgot to introduce myself," Xia Liang said with a faint smile. "I'm a Magician. That was just a little trick. Don't be alarmed."

The little girl in the robber's arms was also stunned by Xia Liang's magic. Excited, she looked at Xia Liang, her fear forgotten, and said with a smile, "Big brother, your magic is so cool!"

Xia Liang smiled humbly. "Do you like it?"

The little girl nodded vigorously. "I like it."

With a flip of his right hand, Xia Liang produced a balloon. He stepped forward to hand it to the little girl, but the robber was on high alert. He tightened his chokehold on the girl and staggered backward.

"Don't you come any closer! Believe me, I'll kill her!"

As he spoke, the robber dropped the banana and pulled a dagger from his waistband, pressing it against the little girl's neck once more.

The banana he had thrown to the ground rolled a few times and then instantly transformed back into a handgun.

Xia Liang walked over and kicked the gun, sending it sliding across the ground to where Yun Bing was.

Seeing this, the robber was so furious it looked as if his eyes would split open.
