"Ding, Ding"

Bruce Wayne strode into the very well set up reception hall, took a glass of wine from the waiter next to him, and then took a spoon and tapped it gently, drawing everyone's attention.

He put the glass aside, opened his arms, and said in a loud voice,

"I am very happy to welcome you to the Wayne Building, and I am honored to be a part of all of you to see you so passionate about philanthropy. ”

"Bang Bang Bang"

Everyone applauded, whether it was true or not, but at least in terms of business cooperation, no one wanted to have a bad relationship with Bruce Wayne, Gotham Son pressed his hands down slightly, the warm applause slowly quieted down, Bruce glanced at the crowd, and then spoke,

"But it's not me who is here today... There is such a man, when everyone is threatened by rampant gangsters, when the city needs a glimmer of light the most, he bravely stands up, not afraid of the revenge of the gangsters, not afraid of the evil minions, he brings us a real ray of hope. ”

Bruce paused, then raised his voice,

"Yes, I think you all know who I'm talking about... Harvey Dent, Gotham's new hero, where are you, come, stand up and receive the applause you deserve!

Bruce was the first to applaud, and the others smiled and made way for Harvey and Rachel standing behind the crowd, regardless of their senses of Harvey Dent or that sentence, at least in this Bruce Wayne occasion, where everyone here acted as if they were good people with a heart for justice.

Some enthusiastic people even called out Harvey Dent's name, but in any case, Harvey's actions did give Gotham hope in a real sense, and in the past few decades, no enforcer of the law has been as upright and brave as him, and no one has been able to think of a good solution to the increasingly rampant gangster activity.

He was the first, and he deserves to associate his name with the history of Gotham.

And this brave and righteous prosecutor was obviously not familiar with this kind of occasion, he was a little embarrassed and a little uncomfortable, but with Rachel's encouragement, he still stepped forward and shook hands with Bruce,

"Thank you, Mr. Bruce. ”

"No, no, no, everyone here should thank you!"

Bruce patted Harvey on the shoulder, and the two of them hugged each other very closely, and the reporters who had been waiting next to him snapped pictures, and they even had the headlines for tomorrow planned.

"The sons of Gotham have a heart for justice, and celebrities give generously"

Presumably this news headline, everyone will be satisfied, Gotham people love Bruce, love anything related to him, as for Harvey, he is expected to appear on the headlines tomorrow so many times, yes, entertainment never cares about justice, that's not something they should care about.

Leaving Harvey surrounded by a group of wealthy businessmen of all kinds, Bruce nodded to Rachel who was hugging his shoulders, and the two walked to the balcony with a tacit understanding.

Bruce propped his arms on the railing, he looked at the city below with bright lights and a soft night breeze, he closed his eyes and said with a smile,

"Remember what we agreed to? Rachel... About our relationship. ”

Rachel leaned against the railing, looking at Harvey Dent, who was embarrassed in the crowd, she looked to the other side and playfully said, "What did you say? I don't remember anything." ”

These words made Bruce laugh dumbly, and he took a deep breath,

"You said that when the city doesn't need Batman, you'll be there for me, look, the city has its new hero, Harvey, people love him, it's time for Batman to be history, I'm planning to start a new life, Rachel, would you like to be with me?"

This naked confession made Rachel cover her mouth in surprise, her eyes were moistened, and after a while, she breathed a sigh of relief,

"I thought you couldn't let go of this city, I thought I would have to wait a long time..."

"Without you, I feel like everything I'm doing is meaningless. ”

Bruce whispered, "Whether it's Batman or Bruce Wayne, I wish I had someone by my side who makes me feel happy, I've waited long enough, I almost gave up on you, I've hurt you, but I swear... There will be no next time. ”

He looked at Rachel, pursed his lips, and took out a black velvet box from his pocket, which was supposed to contain a very expensive gem, or a ring, but Rachel stopped him,

"No, not on this occasion..."

A smile bloomed in Rachel's eyes, "Where we played when we were kids... Okay?"

Bruce also had a smile on his face, there was no doubt that Rachel agreed to his request, she responded to him, he was very happy, he looked at Harvey,

"Poor Harvey, he probably thought he could snatch you from me..."

"He's fine, but he's just late. ”

Rachel's hand and Bruce's hand were held together, and she whispered a little dazedly,

"You're such a lucky guy, I hope Harvey won't be sad, we can't hurt him, frankly, I really had a time when I was very tempted by him, especially when you were busy with your chivalrous deeds, and I wondered if I should give up, after all, Batman needs Batgirl, he doesn't need a prosecutor's assistant. ”

"No, no, no, what I need, it's always you. ”

A smile bloomed on the corner of Bruce's mouth, and he was about to speak, when the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang, he picked up the phone, and Gordon's voice came,

"Bruce... Protect Harvey, he's the Joker's next target. ”

Bruce's face changed, and he answered,

"Got it!"

Rachel also heard Gordon's voice, her face became anxious, and she looked at Bruce, who took a deep breath,

"Bring Harvey here, don't alarm the others... We need to protect him. ”

Rachel nodded, she walked over, and said something to Harvey quietly, and then the two of them walked to the balcony, and in the corner that was not noticeable, Harvey asked with a smile on his face,

"My Rachel, you're going to say to me..."

"Bang"

A hand that bounced out of the darkness sliced into Harvey's neck, and Harvey, caught off guard, rolled his eyes upwards and fell into Bruce's arms, who said to Rachel,

"Take care of yourself, find a place to hide, they're coming soon, don't come out until I get back!"

Bruce looked at Harvey and said to Rachel seriously, who nodded, with Cyber and the Devils, Bruce was not as busy as he was destined to be, and he also had some time to spend with Rachel, who had full confidence in him, and Bruce would not let some madman hurt his future wife anyway.

Less than 2 minutes after Bruce left, the whole drinking party was still going on in an orderly manner, on the first floor of the Wayne Building, the door of the elevator coming up from the basement quietly opened, and the security guards were greeted by three police officers holding police badges, the security guards froze, and the next moment, a group of guys with clown masks on their faces rushed out from behind them.

"Bang Bang"

The gunshot rang out, the four corpses fell to the ground, blood flowed all over the ground, the clown snorted, and walked into the business elevator leading to the 25th floor with his 7 subordinates carrying guns, he hummed a song, his eye sockets painted with black oil paint were full of excitement, and if you looked closely, you could find that his body was trembling, it was a tremor of excitement.

Like a soldier rushing to a battlefield full of glory, but what he did was not glorious at all, he looked back at his subordinates, they had strange-looking clown masks on their faces, and he grinned,

"Why is it so serious? brothers... Laugh a little. ”

The subordinates glanced at each other, did not speak, and the clown's face became gloomy,

"I let you... Laugh a little!"

"Hahaha"

A stiff laugh came from under the mask, and the Joker snapped his fingers in satisfaction, "yes, that's what it's like to go to a party, Harvey Dent! Yes, and Batman... If there is Batman..."

The clown's shoulders were squeezed, and his face was full of extraordinary joy, "If only he had him!"

"Ding Dong"

The number of words in the elevator jumped to 25, like the sky that opened the curtain, cutting the quiet elevator from the noisy drinking party outside the door, and connecting them together at this moment.

The smile on the clown's face was even more victorious, and he strode out, the gun in his hand pointed at the sky,

"Bang"

The bullet flew out of the muzzle, and when everyone turned their eyes, the clown at this moment was as happy as if he had won the lottery jackpot, and the rich people saw these guys in strange clothes and with weapons, and instantly screamed under the gunshots, and the next moment, the clown with a magnetic voice suddenly sounded,

"Don't be nervous, everyone, we're on the show tonight that Mr. Bruce has arranged... Don't rush, don't crowd, don't push, and most importantly, don't get anyone hurt, I know this show is great, and I know you guys appreciate it, so let's play slowly. ”

He picked up the meatballs on the table, threw them in his mouth, and then took a glass of wine from a frightened lady, and his gloved fingers flicked slightly on the face of the frightened girl who was about to cry.

"Behold, behold, what a beautiful girl, are you afraid?"

Helena Bettinelli didn't know why she had been noticed by this crazy person who didn't look like a good person, she had come to the drinking party by accident, she wanted to relax before leaving Gotham, and then she came here, only to have such a bad thing happen.

But still, the clown didn't pay attention to her, he returned the glass of wine to Helena, and looked left and right,

"Before the show starts, I want to ask, does anyone know where Harvey Dent is?"

No one answered him, he seemed a little dissatisfied, and he snorted,

"Huh, doesn't anyone know?"

He pointed his pistol at an old man in front of him who didn't retreat,

"Hmm... You look unconvinced, sir, do you know where our hero Harvey is?"

"You don't want to know anything!"

The old gentleman took off his glasses and looked at the clown without fear, with a touch of contempt in his eyes, "Do you think we will sell a hero to a bastard like you?"

"Hmm... See what I see?"

The clown spread his hands and exclaimed in surprise, "I'm so happy an old tough guy! There aren't many characters like you in a place like Gotham... But you remind me of my father... I hate my father, tough guy, and I'll ask again, do you know where Harvey is?"

The safety of the pistol in his hand opened and pressed against the top of the old man's head, and the old gentleman snorted, closed his eyes, drew a cross on his chest with both hands, and ignored the clown's threat.

"Hey, your god isn't here tonight! Open your eyes and look at me... Otherwise, I'll kill you... Well, this handsome guy!"

The clown put down his gun, held a switchblade in his left hand, and compared the blade to the neck of the thin blonde young man beside him, as if the next moment it seemed that blood was about to be splattered on the spot.

The corners of Leonard Snailter's mouth twitched, he really felt that Gotham was a place of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, after being taught a lesson by the Red Devil a few days ago, and on the night he was about to leave Gotham, he was unfortunately a hostage of the Joker, he came here for a different purpose than Helena, he came here for something, but now, his plans were all in vain.

Because of this intimidating madman in front of him.

"Wow, the old tough guy is amazing... Watching a young man die because of you makes even a cold-blooded person like me feel cruel. ”

The clown had a mocking smile on his face, "I remember when you went to hell, you justified Satan by saying that this young man who died because of you died at my hands, maybe Satan will let you go back to heaven..."

"Enough!"

An indifferent voice sounded behind him, and the clown turned around and saw the woman coming out of the crowd, a small grin on his lips.

"Aha! I've got you... Harvey's little lover!"
