From a normal person's point of view, it's hard to understand Hallie's behavior.

But Roy wasn't surprised.

Although Harley liked the two rings when she was in the jewelry store, that didn't mean that Harley would continue to like them now, a few minutes later.

Women are fickle!

Especially a crazy woman like Hallie!

After the female clerk left with the ring, gift box and bag, Harley picked up the coffee in front of her, took a sip slowly, and said to Roy:

"Do you think the one I left behind is the best?"

"Yes!"

Roy replied very seriously.

Although the three rings he had just bought looked similar from his point of view, he wouldn't be stupid enough to analyze the merits of each ring with Harley in detail.

Since Harley felt that the ring she left behind was the best, it was the best!

"I think so, too, that's why I left this."

Hallie said with a satisfied expression.

Roy didn't continue to discuss the topic with Harley, and looked around at the shops and pedestrians.

From a city perspective, Canterlot is no bigger than Gotham.

Whether it is the land area, historical origin, or development potential, Canterlot is slightly inferior to Gotham.

Not to mention, compared to the central city located in the central and western part of the beautiful country, Gotham, located on the east coast of the beautiful country, is much better than the central city in terms of geographical location.

In the beautiful country, the east coast and west coast are the key areas that support the whole country.

As for the rest of the region, it can only be the icing on the cake at best.

Although the size and development potential of the city is not as good as that of Gotham, the security environment of the central city is something that ordinary citizens of Gotham dream of.

Although there are gangsters and underground forces in Canterlot, under the crackdown of the Flash and the Canterlot police, the life of these gangsters and underground forces is not very easy.

Even an organization like the Rogue Gang, which is an all-out villain, sometimes has to keep its head down.

No way!

There is a flash who is a speedster to guard Canterlot, and he can't do it without bowing his head.

Just when Roy thought that he would not have a chance to see the heroic appearance of the criminals in Canterlot today, a huge explosion suddenly sounded in front of a bank at the end of the street.

Boom Boom!

The sound of continuous explosions suddenly resounded for several blocks, drawing the attention of the surrounding pedestrians.

That included Roy and Hallie's gazes.

After hearing the explosion, the surrounding pedestrians and citizens did not immediately stay away from the street or look for cover, but took out their mobile phones and began to take pictures.

This......

If it's in Gotham, don't talk about explosions, as long as there is a gunshot, the surrounding pedestrians will be as far away as possible from the scene of the crime as soon as they are trained.

Here, instead of evacuating, the surrounding pedestrians began to take out their mobile phones to take pictures.

What is this?

Is there a special atmosphere in Canterlot?

Rao is Roy, who is used to seeing big scenes, and after seeing this scene, he showed a surprised expression.

How so?

These performances of the surrounding pedestrians are not beautiful at all.

"Let's go check it out!"

After seeing that the pedestrians around her took out their mobile phones to take pictures, Harley immediately stood up, and the expression on her face became excited.

"Hmm!"

Roy nodded, got up and walked towards the bank at the end of the street.

The moment he heard the explosion, he had already roughly sensed the situation at the bank with his domineering appearance.

Nothing special, just a very common bank robbery.

If anything, the bank robbers used grenades to blow up several vehicles parked and just passing in front of the bank's gates, blocking the road.

While this can't stop the Flash from coming, it can create chaos and block the road to a certain extent, so that the police in Canterlot can't arrive so quickly.

As for the detour, it's not impossible, it's just that it will take more time.

And for the robbers who are robbing the bank, time is money.

This gang of robbers is kind of interesting!

Roy sighed in his heart.

On the surface, the approach of this group of robbers is rough.

But that's not the case.

The robbers could have done so in other ways to create chaos and jam traffic, but they were undoubtedly more complicated to do.

Or rather, more time wasted.

Blowing up vehicles on the street directly may seem reckless, but it is the most efficient way to do it.

It only takes a few grenades and a few seconds to achieve strategic goals.

The approach is a little rougher, but this does not affect the final result.

Just when Roy lamented that this group of robbers was coarse and meticulous, worthy of a professional team that dared to commit crimes in the business district, explosions were also heard in other nearby neighborhoods.

Isn't there just a group of people?

I haven't seen what happened in the other blocks, but as it stands, the situation in the other blocks should be the same.

It's kind of interesting!

Roy didn't expect that on his first day in Canterlot, he would encounter several bands of robbers robbing banks at the same time.

Although bank robbery is not uncommon in beautiful countries.

But it's not very common for several gangs of robbers to rob different banks at the same time.

It can even be said that it is very rare.

There are indeed coincidences in the world, but the current situation is not a coincidence.

"It seems that we are lucky to see the big scene as soon as we arrive."

After hearing explosions coming from other neighborhoods, Hallie said with a smile.

"Yes."

"If nothing else, we should be able to meet Canterlot's well-known superhero The Flash in a minute."

Roy replied quickly.

He was still thinking about how to get in touch with the Flash.

Now it seems that he doesn't have to do anything to meet Barry Allen, the Flash.

"Are you going to fight him?"

Harley looked at Roy expectantly.

"Probably not."

Roy replied.

Although he is interested in the Flash and the Speed Force, he doesn't really want to fight the Flash.

Or rather, he doesn't plan to fight the Flash until he finds out what kind of speed the Flash has now.

When you get a certain amount of speed, it can get tricky.

Especially the speedsters who have been given super speed by the speed force.

Although Superman Clark also has a super speed far beyond ordinary people, his current super speed is about the same as Roy's, and it is not a problem to deal with.

But the Flash and the Reverse Lightning are not the same.

In the DC Universe, the person who has super speed through the speed force is the so-called speeder.

As for others, such as Superman Clark and Wonder Woman Diana, among others, they are not speedsters.

"You think you might consider fighting him!"

Hallie continued.

"Why?"

Roy asked rhetorically.

"Why else, it's fun!"

"Don't you think it's fun to play against someone like The Flash?"

"If I had a superpower like yours, I'd definitely fight him."

"Win or lose, it's going to be fun."

Harley explained earnestly.

For Harley, who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, she doesn't need much reason to fight the Flash.

Fun alone is enough.

"We'll talk about it then."

Roy decisively ended the topic and waited patiently for the appearance of The Flash.

Not only him, but the passers-by around him who were filming with their mobile phones are now also waiting for the appearance of The Flash.

Although they couldn't see the Flash's movements clearly, they could see the red figure and yellow lightning flashing as the Flash ran at great speed.

For ordinary passers-by, it is completely enough to be able to photograph this.

It would be great to take a photo with the Flash or get an autograph from the Flash.

I don't know which link went wrong, the Flash, who has always been known for being "fast", "delayed" and did not arrive at the scene of the crime.

More than a minute after the first explosion, the robbers who had robbed the bank at the end of the street began to retreat, and the Flash still did not appear.

What happened?

Isn't it in Canterlot?

After watching the bank robbers board the vehicle with large bags and prepare to flee the scene of the crime, Roy frowned slightly.

At the speed of the Flash, let alone more than a minute, it only takes a few seconds to rush from the other side of the city to the scene of the crime.

But now, the bank robbers have begun to retreat, and he still hasn't appeared.

Wrong!

Something is wrong!

Not only did Roy sense that something was wrong, but the passers-by around him also showed puzzled expressions.

Although he didn't know what was going on, Roy didn't waste too many brain cells thinking about why The Flash didn't show up, but thought about another question.

Do you need to stop the robbers?

Judging by the equipment and operational literacy, this gang of robbers is clearly professional.

But it wasn't a waste of effort for him to stop the bands.

Whether it is to exert the power of the heart, or to use the unreasonable and domineering power to prevent them from leaving, it is a very simple matter.

Because the other end of the street was blocked by exploding vehicles, the robbers' vehicles had to move away from Roy's side.

Looking at the robbers' vehicles getting closer and closer, Roy quickly made a decision.

Although he didn't know why the Flash didn't come over for the exact reason.

But since I was bumped into by myself, and I just don't have anything else to do now, it's better to strike a little bit at the evil.

As soon as he said and did it, Roy immediately mobilized the power of the stars in his body.

Instead of summoning the fire of the stars to burn the robbers and vehicles to ashes, or blocking the middle of the road to prevent the vehicles from leaving, he converted some of the power of the stars into natural energy.

Then, using these transformed natural energies, lightning was summoned out of thin air.

Thundered!

A dull thunderclap sounded in the clear sky as far as the eye could see.

Before the surrounding onlookers could react, a bucket-thick silver-white lightning bolt fell from the sky, instantly striking the speeding robbers' vehicle.

Rumble!

The sudden silver-white lightning hit the front of the car like a laser, easily piercing the hood and shattering the frantic engine.

The robbers in the car never imagined that on the way to evacuate, they were not stopped by the Flash, but by an inexplicable lightning bolt.

However, at this time, they did not have the extra time and mood to think about what was going on.

The engine was destroyed by lightning, and the speeding vehicle lost control in an instant.

Just as the out-of-control vehicle was about to crash into the crowd on the side of the road, a tornado with a diameter of four or five meters rose from the ground and completely swept the entire vehicle into the air.

Spinner, fly, tumble......

The robbers inside the vehicle suddenly experienced the feeling of a roller coaster.

Boom!

The tornado's vehicle tumbled in the air several times before slamming into the street, tossed travel bags tore apart by the tornado, and looted cash flew all over the sky.

Get!

While manipulating lightning and tornadoes is a delicate micro-manipulation, this level of micro-manipulation is nothing to Roy.

If he wanted to, he could even manipulate the tornado to wrap the robber and the travel bag separately and spin and fly.

They can even be allowed to fly around like supermen under the wraps of a tornado.

"Let's go, I shouldn't see The Flash today."

Ignoring the flying cash and the robbers in the vehicle, Roy said to Hallie.

"Uh-huh!"

Harley nodded quickly.

Hotel.

Presidential Suite.

After stopping the robbers from leaving, Roy returns to the hotel where he is staying with Hallie and turns on the TV in the living room.

Without any surprise, Canterlot's news media are now reporting on bank robberies in the business district.

With the exception of the unlucky ones he stopped, the robbers who robbed the other banks all left with the looted cash before the police arrived.

According to statistics, a total of five banks in the business district were robbed, and more than $100 million in cash was robbed.

In addition to reporting on the robberies, hosts and guests on major channels are discussing the same issue.

That's where the hell did The Flash go?

Some guests and commentators with more extreme views even began to denounce the Flash's inaction.

That's right!

They're denouncing The Flash!

After seeing these guests and commentators begin to denounce the Flash, Roy's first reaction was that the Flash protected Canterlot too well.

The panelists and commentators were surprisingly unanimous in their view that since the Flash was beloved by the citizens of Central City, it was his duty to stop all the crimes that happened in Canterlot.

Otherwise, he would be sorry for the love of the citizens of the central city.

Roy didn't know why these guests and commentators had such brain circuits, but one thing he was sure of was that there were many central city residents who had this kind of thinking.

On the way back, he asked Hancock to search local forums and major websites.

It turns out that what the citizens of the center are now hotly discussing is not the bank robbery itself, but why the Flash didn't stop the robbers.

Although some citizens are helping the Flash explain, most of the citizens are complaining about why the Flash did not appear.

After watching it for a few minutes and finding that there were guests and commentators on all major channels who more or less denounced the Flash, Roy turned off the TV.

"Hancock, try hacking into the database of Star Labs."

Roy said to Hancock.
