Chapter Twenty-Four: The Partial Predator
"Bastard! What kind of hatred does that guy have with me! ”
Black Mask roared angrily in his office, he had had enough of the man who had sabotaged his plans so many times.
"What does he want? Money? Fame? Status? ”
People are nothing more than greedy for these three things, and Red Hood has hijacked his goods several times. And this time, the genetic weapon he bought with Luthor at a high price was actually hijacked halfway.
What the hell is that guy's purpose. Expanding your territory? The drug dealers who were integrated by the red hood did seem to be starting to encroach on the surrounding territory, and the friction with their own size was not once or twice.
But so far, only the drug dealers have taken action, and the red hood himself has not taken any action.
He had heard of this man's behavior, and even if he hadn't heard of it, he could infer his ability from the few times he was robbed.
If he is trying to grab territory, then this guy can directly find him, and Black Mask believes that with this man's ability, he can definitely face him directly.
But he has always been hidden in the shadows, never solving these problems himself, and since he came, because the original balance of power has been broken, so that now the whole of Gotham is surging.
The drug dealers who were originally suppressed by his power began to suppress his power in turn where he couldn't take care of it, and those new forces who could only hide in the corner also began to emerge and want to get a piece of the cake of this sphere of influence.
"What does he think he is? A God who can arrange Gotham's sphere of influence?! ”
The black mask shattered the goblet in his hand, and the glass shards were splashed all over the floor.
His secretary didn't even glance at the wreckage of the cup, still calmly carrying out his part.
"Maybe that's what he thought"
"He wants to dominate Gotham? Just kidding, how could that old bat allow another controller to appear on its own turf! ”
"Red Hood is elusive, maybe Batman hasn't found him yet"
"Can't find it? Hum! That's Batman, and the only reason he didn't find the Red Hood is that he doesn't think the Red Hood is a problem so far! ”
At this point, Black Mask suddenly realized why this ruthless character who kills people everywhere and sets fires has not been listed as a key target by Batman.....
“.... That guy robbed the bank? ”
"Not currently recorded"
“... Killed ordinary people? ”
"The people who have died so far in connection with the Red Hood are criminals....."
The secretary's words calmed Black Mask down, and when he thought about it, Red Hood never seemed to include ordinary people in the hunting range, so in this way, except that the killing guy did no different than Batman.
"What is this guy? Is there going to be another murderous Batman in this city? ”
"I don't think so?"
The secretary disagrees with Black Mask's words, and while Red Hood does look like a murderous Batman, none of his actions are free.
Black Mask, Penguin, Two-Face, and Gotham's main drug dealer, in addition to a few bits and pieces, are the sources of Red Hood's funding.
The Red Hood is more like a predator that only puts criminals in the hunt range.
“...... Is black eating black professional? ”
"I think so, he specializes in hunting criminals in the Gotham Hunting Grounds...."
“.... Well! Could it be that the black bat just let the conversation run rampant? ”
"This time I think he'll do something"
“..... You mean Luther's genetic weapon"
"Yes"
“... That's right, that guy won't let such a dangerous thing exist in Gotham."
Batman is currently tracking a transporter that has landed from an abandoned dock at the West Port. The era of Gotham's rapid development allowed Gotham to have a large number of small tonnage docks that were used to divert the smaller tonnage transports, and with the end of the industrial era, these small docks were slowly abandoned and gradually became a place for Gotham criminals to transport goods. These places are also the places he focuses on monitoring.
Tim reported to him that ships had docked at these abandoned docks, and he was monitoring Black Mask again.
The anomaly of Black Mask's large number of people mixed with ordinary people appeared in a very normal commercial dock, and this abnormal phenomenon attracted his attention. In order to launder his own funds, Black Mask also has a normal business business, but it is strange that the normal business business actually asks his subordinates to mix into ordinary people to pick up the goods.
At first, he didn't realize that there was any connection between the two, until he heard from the bug that was supposed to be on the shore of the Black Mask that the ship was missing, and he immediately realized that the Black Mask's shipment was probably hijacked.
Tim had been tracking the truck in the Batcave using satellites, and he was able to find the transporter easily. A very ordinary transport truck with no markings on its body.
Barbara went to check the transport ship and came back with the news that the people on the ship were all dead except for a few crew members and the captain who were trapped in the dumplings, and Barbara also recognized several of Black Mask's subordinates from these dead people, it seems that this ship is indeed the one that Black Mask is waiting for.
Batman piloted the Batmachine to monitor the normal transport vehicle from a high altitude, and the Batman's strong stealth ability allowed it to quietly follow the target in the bustling city of Gotham, waiting for it to be brought to the mastermind behind the scenes.
The people in the cockpit of the car are happily driving the car towards the designated destination, and the three of them are very happy to be responsible for driving the car to the designated place to get a lot of money.
The radio in the car was playing the latest hot song, and the mood of the three people was as cheerful as the song at the moment. Not long before the cheerfulness came from the radio, there was a sizzle of electrical interference, and then a silent voice that seemed to come from a metal can replaced the cheerful song:
"You idiots, didn't you notice that the bats were right above you?"
The sudden sound made all three of them froze for a moment, and the person sitting next to the co-pilot reached out to adjust the reversing mirror outside the window under the gaze of the other two, and then the black batplane that almost merged with the night appeared in the reflection of the mirror.
"It's Batman!"
"Damn, when did he come along??!!"
When Batman was sitting in the plane and quietly following the transporter, he suddenly found that the vehicle began to accelerate, not the ordinary overtaking acceleration, but obviously wanting to get rid of something and accelerate wildly.
The huge hull of the car rushed forward on the road, causing a series of shouts along the way.
“... Discovered? ”
