Chapter 038: Important Person: The Richest Man in Gotham

"Whew, relieved. Mei is not in danger of her life. However, I found symptoms of a concussion here. Simmons, what about you? ”

"I saw multiple bruises on my side, as well as two minor fractures, and I think it was a very, very intense fight."

"Oh, there are three more wounds here. Hmm, these three wounds are arranged too neatly, something is wrong......"

"The good news is that none of these seem to be major injuries, and it will be fine for about a week with the medicinal cultivation of the hydra."

Fitz and Simmons were spinning around the lab's console doing various checks on May, while Skye and Coulson stood a few steps away, their eyes fixed.

Both of them did not look good. May's situation did relax the already worried people, but judging from the current situation, it is clear that the missing Rhaegar has really betrayed. Now they were waiting for Ward, who had been patrolling the rest of the Bus, to bring back further evidence, and Ward, who was armed with a gun, had returned.

"Is Rhaegar upstairs?" Skye rushed up and asked eagerly.

Ward shook his head.

Skye turned slowly, lowered his head, covered his face with his long hair, and walked outside and sat down. Coulson, on the other hand, is back to his previous grim-faced pattern.

"Have you found the reason for the loss of contact with the bus?" In as flat a tone as possible, he asked Ward, "Is it because the power is cut off everywhere else like in this lab, or is there some reason?" ”

Ward responded: "I walked around and found that all the appliances I used couldn't be turned on. The initial estimate is the power supply, and I was about to take a look at the cable bus. ”

"I'll go with you." This time, before Coulson could speak, a voice sounded much hoarser and deeper than usual. It was Skye, and apparently she didn't want to stay here anymore and watch Mei Yi think of someone, and even what she wanted most at the moment was to find lots and lots of things to do, to fill her schedule to distract herself.

But after a few minutes, she didn't think so. Along the way, Ward said several words to enlighten her, and she pretended to be strong and responded coldly, until after a corner in the innermost corner of the first floor of the Bus, she saw Rhaegar with two bus cables wrapped around her body, and her disguise was instantly broken, and she rushed over in a hurry.

Then Wardra catches Skye, Skye breaks free and rushes over anyway, Skye beckons Ward to help pick up the unconscious Rhaeggar, Ward loosens and reconnects the cables wrapped around Rhaeggar's arms, and then helps Rhaegar to the lab with Skye, etc. In a word...... About half an hour later, Rhaegar woke up to find himself lying in Bus's lab. Next to him is Mei, who he brought back and put there before. And now, all the members of the team except Mei are surrounding him.

"Rhaegar, what's going on? You and May were attacked? ”

Skye was the first to speak. Noticing her expression of concern, Rhaegar smiled softly at her. And just as he was about to prop himself up with his right hand, he was stopped by Simmons, who was a part-time squad doctor.

"What are you doing! While you're recovering faster than I thought, this is not the time for you to move around casually! ”

Seeing the seriousness on Simmons' face, Rhaegar shrugged his shoulders, but he didn't expect to affect the injury in his arm, so he drew another warning from the former.

"Okay Dr. Simmons, when can I get up and move?"

Seeing Rhaegar ask about this, Simmons did not answer as neatly as before, but frowned rarely.

"I don't know yet. Aside from not having a concussion, you're more injured than May. Oddly enough, you'll recover faster than May's. I don't know if this has anything to do with your accidental electrocution, or if it's something else. Anyway, I'm not sure if you're going to be able to recover like this for a short time. I still need to do some testing. But if this recovery rate continues, you'll be almost active after 36 hours. ”

"36 hours, we don't have 36 hours." Subconsciously said this, Rhaegar was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What time is it?" ”

"It's 6:45 p.m. ET. How? ”

Getting this answer, Rhaegar shook his head helplessly: "Well, don't say 36 hours, not even 3.6 hours." A new round of attacks will occur as early as 8:30 p.m. tonight. By the way, did you find anything at the Gotham Theater? ”

"I didn't find much." Skye said, and then she briefly talked about the situation over there. When they arrived at the Grand Theatre, they found that it was a hostage-taking incident. The 'super vampire' who had killed more than a dozen people in a row before did not use the knife directly this time, but instead took a hostage, confronted the Gotham police, and demanded that another person arrive at the scene. Skye and Coulson successfully rescued the hostages with the very capable Director James Gordon of the police force in the United States. Unfortunately, the hostages were seriously injured in the end, and the 'super vampire' escaped.

It is worth mentioning that the name of this hostage is Lucius Fox. The Gotham Theatre is also the property of Wayne Enterprises, and Lucius happened to be inspecting the expansion project at the back of the Theatre when he was caught in it. As for the guy who was asked by the murderer to go to the Grand Theater to negotiate - and really arrived at the scene and wanted to agree to the murderer's conditions but was persuaded by Gordon, it was Thomas Wayne, the richest man in Gotham.

"Well, it's not like nothing was undiscovered." At this point, Fitz added, "At least we've made sure that the killer isn't a vampire." It's a pity that the scene is too dark to see clearly, the guy is wearing a coat and walking forward but still fast, and ten fingers are claws...... I think it might be a mutated beast after a genetic experiment or something. ”

Rhaegar had a strange expression on his face, which Coulson noticed. Coulson cared more about what Rhaegar had said about 'eight thirty o'clock' than the mutated beast.

Rhaegar responded, "Well, if I'm not mistaken, the murderer isn't a mutated beast, it's a mutated human - a mutant, a mutant who thinks he's a beast." Perhaps you've heard his name, Sabertooth Tiger. And I have one thing in my pocket, a ball of paper. I took it from Wolverine, the brother of the Sabertooth Tiger. Wolverine's hand tail was the tail of the hand left behind to clean up the last murder scene for the saber-toothed tiger, the ball of paper. And that mass of paper is the next target of the saber-toothed tiger, well, or the real goal. ”

At Rhaeggar's motion, Skye took the ball of paper out of his pocket for him. When they opened their eyes, Coulson and Ward were stunned again.

The mess of paper was a piece of news torn from the newspaper with an illustration of a man Coulson and the others had met not long ago, Thomas Wayne, and a reference to the charity party that had started at the Gotham Hotel at 8:30 p.m. tonight. Combined with the identities of those who died before, it is clear that this 'super vampire', no, saber-toothed tiger, his target is Thomas Wayne if nothing else.

No, there is another possibility. Perhaps the Sabertooth Tiger is targeting a guest who is usually very, very unapproachable, and the Sabertooth Tiger needs to take advantage of the party to kill or capture this person, and even requires the cooperation of Thomas Wayne. This would also explain why the Sabertooth Tiger wanted to threaten Lucius Fox in exchange for Thomas Wayne.

Either way, Thomas Wayne is an important figure.
