Chapter 104: Bruce's Growth and Change
In the midst of everyone's astonishment, the young police officer repeated again: "Mayor Hamilton was shot dead at today's holiday party!" β
Gordon grabbed the officer by the collar and asked, "Are you kidding?" Didn't that Hamilton guy have a dozen bodyguards around him? β
The police officer who was grabbed by the collar said in a panic: "That killer... The killer hid the gun in a bouquet of roses for the mayor, and a thread was attached to the trigger, which passed under the bouquet and tied to the left foot of the girl who offered the flowers. β
Flower girl?
Gordon immediately understood what this meant, and he scolded, "Hamilton, this old pervert, really died on this!" β
Then, he looked back at Bullock and said, "Let's go, there's another big case, presumably the guy who killed the Viti family's advance team." β
Watching Gordon and Bullock leave the police station with a few capable police officers and go to the scene of the festival party, Carla on the side came to his senses.
"What did they just say?" Carla recalled, slowly revealing a shocked expression: "The mayor... The mayor of Gotham was shot in the street! The murderer is still the same person who killed his own family's advance team? And, listening to the tone, the murderer is not a gang, but just a person? β
"Hell, Brother Camian is right, what the hell is this Gotham!"
Karla hesitated and spun around the police station, thinking twice as he left the station to call the rest of the family.
"There's something wrong with Gotham, the guy who killed our advance team was a tricky guy who was single-handed, and this guy just shot the mayor of Gotham!"
There was a mocking voice on the other end of the line, hoarse and old.
"Carla, when did you become so daring?"
"The family has prepared a lot for taking Gotham, do you want everyone's efforts to be wasted?"
"Don't be naΓ―ve, Carlla, don't let your brother's nonsense scare you out."
"The next call, I hope it's your plan to tell us when to launch a general offensive."
Hanging up the phone, Karlaviti gritted his teeth, a fierce and crazy look in his eyes.
"In that case, let's turn Gotham upside down!"
In the evening, Gordon did not return home to spend time with his wife and daughter.
Instead, he came to the roof of the Gotham Police Station and turned on the huge bat lamp, and the huge halo illuminated the clouds that Gotham had been dissipating all year round.
And in the middle of the halo is a black bat that terrifies all the criminals of Gotham.
As a gust of wind blew, Gordon looked at Batman and said, "There have been more and more bad things lately. β
Gordon's tone was tired, whether it was the return of the Joker, the killing of the mayor, or the Victi gangster family who came to stir up the trouble, he was exhausted and exhausted.
Gotham's police force alone can't stabilize the current situation at all.
With so much trouble going on as soon as he took office, Gordon even wondered if he was the most unlucky person in the world.
Batman patted Gordon on the back in a caring gesture of comfort, something he would never do before.
I have to say that Depp's existence has changed Bruce a lot.
"Take it easy." Batman said, "Things will always work out, after all, we're the Justice League." β
Speaking of the Justice League, Gordon looked up and asked, "Didn't Iron Fist and Catwoman come again?" β
Batman said helplessly: "Yes, they have rarely been involved in the action lately, especially after the return of the Joker. β
After saying that, the two sighed together.
Iron Fist and Catwoman don't talk about it, and Wellen rarely participates in the action because he needs to deal with company affairs.
As for Harvey, although he has always fulfilled his duties, he rarely shows up now because of his wife.
And Robin, because he was too young, Batman just let him appear as his assistant, and did not let him officially join the Justice League.
"Sometimes I wonder if our alliance is too loose." Gordon sighed again.
Batman wasn't as pessimistic as Gordon, saying, "Don't worry, our alliance wasn't built to tie each other down. β
"Although Iron Fist doesn't like to participate in operations, he has always been at the research base to help everyone develop new equipment."
"And Depp, although this guy says that he doesn't participate in our alliance, he has actually been helping us get information, and he even made his subordinate Valen join us."
"So Gordon, you have to be optimistic, we're not alone."
Gordon lit a cigarette, took a puff and said, "You're right, maybe it's because I've been a little overwhelmed by so much of what happened lately." β
"So, our primary target now is the Joker or the Viti family?"
Gordon asked.
Batman didn't hesitate to say, "Our target is the Joker and the Viti family, both of whom must pay the price for their actions, and Gotham can't tolerate them to continue to do anything!" β
In the luxurious private room of the Iceberg Club, Oswald is taking a bubble bath.
Like a child, he placed four ducklings in the bathtub and watched them flow in the tub, and Oswald's eyes were filled with joy.
He wasn't happy because of the little yellow duck, but because of the latest exciting news... Mayor Hamilton is dead.
I thought I would wait until this guy stepped down in half a year before he could start running for mayor, but I didn't expect this guy to be so sensible that he was shot in advance.
Moreover, he has received permission from Mr. Depp to start preparing for a new mayoral campaign that will start soon.
Oswald clapped his hands excitedly.
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
"Mayor Hamilton, what a nice guy!"
"Mayor Cobert... It's amazing! β
Although, according to Mr. Depp, there is a group of Witti families from Chicago who want to fight for turf with themselves.
However, Oswald did not take it to heart, and the company he worked with Mr. Depp made more than just civilian multi-purpose umbrellas.
As one of the technical consultants, Oswald knew that the real business of the company called Depp Industries was to develop and make those unexpected killers!
In Selena's villa, Depp is tutoring Dick in front of the small blackboard.
Since the curriculum in school was too simple for Dick, Depp felt that he could teach the child something new in his spare time.
For example, martial arts, such as stealth, such as how to make a miniature bomb or incendiary bomb in ten minutes with random materials at hand.
Tutoring with Dick are also Velen in suits and leather shoes and Grandi, who is stupid.
Compared to Dick's speed of absorbing knowledge, although Valen has a great business acumen, science and engineering are obviously not his strong suit, and stealth is even more difficult for a guy of his size.
As for Grandi...... Don't mention it.
Selena wore a long dress and brought drinks and snacks for Depp and the three good boys in cram school.
She put them on the table, and then said to Depp, "Elbow, follow me into the house." β
"Okay kids, the teaching time is over, and now it's self-study time."
After saying that, Depp picked up Selena and walked back to the bedroom.
"Say, what are the two of them doing?" Dick said, picking up a glass of milk.
Wei Lun smiled evilly: "What else can you do?" It's the adult's favorite thing. β
Grandi scratched his head, picked up a whole sheet of pizza and said, "Grandi is an adult, and the favorite thing an adult does is eat!" β
