Chapter 2: Gotham's Dark Tide

A new madman stirs up the otherwise calm Gotham. The underground forces of Gotham are all speculating about the purpose of this guy, just a passerby? Or a fanatic who is about to redraw Gotham's sphere of influence? Is it a guy who has a personal vendetta against the black face? Or a madman who is reckless for money?

People speculated in trepidation about the newcomer's intentions, and there were some confident guys trying to win over the maniac. Soon the newcomer once again told the others about his purpose with practical actions.

As the penguin had guessed, the fellow's purpose was never for a profit of a little or two of goods, and his prophecy was confirmed by a vault in his own name.

The arms he had stolen from Black Mask were used in his vault in the blink of an eye. The penguin people looked at the almost ruins of the iceberg restaurant and the underground vault hidden inside, and was so angry that he couldn't even speak.

What made him most annoyed was that in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he could only declare that it was a gas explosion, and when he declared the loss with the skin of a serious businessman, he could not declare the jewelry, gold bars and cash worth nearly 10 million US dollars in the underground vault.

And these things will naturally not be in the list of items of the insurance company he is insured, and the insurance company he is insured will certainly not be able to pay him any compensation.

In the end, this looting can only be disguised as an inconsequential accident by him, the "victim".

This makes the penguin man, an old Jianghu, swallow this breath. However, like the black mask that was robbed before, this time there are still no clues, all the monitoring has lost its effect at the critical time, no one is left on duty at the night of the iceberg restaurant, and the underground vault also has perfect security measures, but these security measures are for ordinary stealing and robbery, and the robbery method that directly abolished the entire restaurant and the vault door with explosives and bazookas is not within the scope of these security.

"Find that guy!!"

The mad penguin man issued a wanted warrant for the Gotham underground, and this guy who has never even missed a face has become the "celebrity" with the highest bounty in the Gotham underground in a blink of an eye, and has successfully entered the hunting list of the two most influential bigwigs in the Gotham underground.

However, this is not the end, and more people are expected to join this hunting club, because this new madman has already proved with practical actions that he is not here for a certain person or a certain batch of goods, he is probably coming for the entire Gotham underground.

"His purpose is probably to redraw Gotham's underground sphere of influence"

Bruce sat in front of the computer and watched all the clues in silence, and Tim's words were also what he was worried about.

This newcomer is really clever and the timing is right. There were no eyewitnesses to the two operations, no surveillance footage, no clues, the entire scene was blown up, there were almost no clues available to search, the only thing that was certain was that this unknown newcomer was a very professional guy, he probably knew more about Black Mask and Penguin than all of them thought.... I'm afraid that even the well-known criminals of the whole of Gotham, in addition to these, there is a trouble point that he is not willing to admit....

"Bruce, this is all the surveillance footage you want around you that can call up this time period, I can't believe he can still get rid of your surveillance"

Right! The newcomer probably knows a little bit about Batman, the Iceberg Restaurant is the base of the Penguins, and Bruce also has surveillance cameras installed nearby, but his surveillance cameras are also useless, if this is not an accident.......

Tim retrieved all the surveillance footage, collected it, and passed it on to Bruce. These videos are all inserted on the surrounding route centered on the Iceberg Restaurant. Tim intercepted surveillance footage from 5 minutes before the explosion to 20 minutes after the explosion, focusing on vehicles passing near the Iceberg Restaurant during this time period.

Bruce arranged all the vehicles in the surveillance screen on the entire giant screen, and used the system to analyze each car that entered the screen, hoping to find a suspicious vehicle from it........

Sunlight shone through the transparent windows on the faces of the still sleeping men, and the temperature of the sun persistently harassed the sleeping men.

At last the man opened his eyes in a daze, and the pair of turquoise eyes hidden under the thick eyelashes glanced at the already bright room, and finally gave up the warm bed and climbed up.

He snorted and moved his neck without grace. The sun shone down on the dark hair, making it look a little golden, and the two tufts of tousled white hair on the forehead were particularly eye-catching. Moved slightly, the stiff limbs, the muscles full of strength showed their beautiful lines in the sun. After stretching, the man climbed out of bed, turned on the TV in the room, and went into the kitchen to get himself a simple breakfast.

The sound of the morning news on the TV overlapped with the chirping of a coffee pot in the kitchen.

After a while, the man returned to his room and sat on the sofa with a cup of instant coffee, a few slices of ham, and a slice of bread in his mouth. The Iceberg Restaurant, which exploded in the early hours of this morning, was being shown on the TV. The host is standing outside the police cordon at the moment making a professional announcement, and the ruins in the background are in a mess, and it is completely impossible to see that it was once one of the top ten luxury clubs in Gotham City.

The host in the picture spits on the once glorious restaurant with various words, and by the way, expresses his strong dissatisfaction with the refusal of the police and the restaurant owner to interview the media, and calls on the government to return the truth to the people.

His words made the man sneer, what is the truth of the people, it is just that these guys are trying to get a flesh bone of life to satisfy the curiosity of the public by the way, Gotham has too many unsavory truths. Either one is much more exciting than this.

The news has become a must-see for Gotham every morning, and the news always gives people a little peace of mind about the land that is inhabited by the forces of evil.

This morning's news footage was taken by a victim who was unfortunate enough to be robbed last night after returning late from overtime, but was lucky enough to meet the Guardians of Gotham.

Maybe it's a temporary use of a mobile phone to record the video, or maybe it's a matter of the location of the lucky hapless, this time the protagonist in the picture is the main Batman's little assistant.

The man stared at the boy in the picture, the back of the hand holding the coffee cup burst into a bruise, and with a muffled sound, the coffee cup turned into a piece of crumbs, and the brown liquid dripped down the crack of his hand onto the floor.

"Humph! Energetic duo"
