William stepped out, leaving the cramped staircase passage and officially stepping onto the thirteenth floor.

His eyes suddenly opened up, and a rather spacious living room opened up in front of him.

In the center of the living room, there is a long dinner table.

Dozens of candles were evenly distributed around the long table, and more than a dozen people in luxurious costumes were sipping red wine and enjoying the delicacies on the table.

At their hands is their own white owl mask.

Hearing William's voice, everyone immediately put on white masks and suddenly turned their heads to look at each other.

More than a dozen people wearing white owl masks suddenly turn their heads to stare at you, and any normal person will be furious uncontrollably when they see this strange scene.

Even though he had seen this scene many times, William still felt a little panicked.

If it weren't for the sake of being able to soar in the future, he wouldn't want to be by this group of people all the time.

Because William knows very well how rich, powerful, perverted and evil guys this is.

Of course, he himself wasn't much better.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have done anything to join the Owl Court and become one of the true rulers of the city.

After all, who cares how many mistakes they have committed compared to the eternal power and wealth?

Even if he killed a lot of people because of this, it would be just the equivalent of crushing some ants.

He put William Cobb, who was hibernating behind him, to the ground, and said respectfully, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have found William Cobb. ”

"Oh?"

Sitting at the front of the table, the gray-haired old woman in a gorgeous gown said in a deep voice, "You're doing a good job, maybe... You'll be officially joining us soon. ”

Listening to the voice coming from under the old woman's mask, William's face under the mask immediately burst into laughter.

He was so excited that he stammered a little and said, "This... That's what I'm supposed to do. It will be the honor of my life to be able to join the honorable Owl Court! ”

The old woman ignored William's flattery, stroked the short gray hair hanging from her ears, and said, "William alone? What about Dick Grayson? ”

Although the old woman is old, she has a natural aura of superiority, and the whole person is not angry and arrogant, and reveals a trace of ruthless temperament everywhere.

Hearing the old woman's question, William immediately fell into an ice cellar, and the smugness that had just been born because of the praise immediately disappeared without a trace.

Even though William Cobb's mission was not his responsibility, William's legs still trembled slightly.

"Big... My lord. William Cobb's mission failed, and he didn't bring back Dick Grayson. ”

"Huh?" The old woman's brow furrowed slightly, obviously displeased, and she continued, "Did he bring any useful information with him?" ”

When William heard this, he couldn't help but curse in his heart:

What the hell are you asking him about himself, what do you keep asking me for?

Damn, these damn claws weren't cultivated by Lao Tzu, why do you ask me everything?

Wait for Lao Tzu to officially join the Owl Court, and sooner or later pull you, an old immortal guy, off the table!

Then, he said respectfully again, "He didn't tell me anything too valuable just now, but... He said he was defeated by a guy who was too fast to catch. ”

Too fast to capture?

The old woman burst out laughing when she heard this, and said, "I didn't expect William to use such a clumsy lie to cover up his failed incompetence. ”

William didn't dare to speculate on the old woman's thoughts, and asked, "Madam, what is William Cobb going to do?" Do I need to freeze him for re-sealing at a later date? ”

The old woman smiled slightly and said, "There's no need for that, just throw him into the 'White Labyrinth', cut off the supply of amber, and let him fend for himself." ”

"Talons are just consumables that we can make at will."

As she spoke, the old woman gently touched the hand of the young waiter behind her and said, "We can make as many of this kind of thing as we want." Especially this kind of guy who likes to lie, there is no need to be reluctant to throw it away. ”

When William heard this, he once again had a new understanding of the cruelty and courage of the old woman, and he was even more afraid of the old woman in front of him.

"Yes ma'am, I'm going to throw William Cobb into the labyrinth."

The old woman nodded with satisfaction, reached out and touched the core plug-in device of the male attendant, raised her eyebrows and said, "What is defeated by a guy who is so fast that he can't even catch a sharp claw, is William really an idiot?" ”

As she spoke, she grabbed the core output system of the waitress with some anger and kneaded it wantonly.

The waitress was obviously accustomed to this kind of torture, and there was not the slightest look of pain on his face.

Perhaps, on the contrary, this guy is actually having fun.

In the midst of this rejoicing, William exclaimed, "William... William Cobb is gone! ”

Just now, William turned his head to give William Cobb another freezer gun.

But looking back, I suddenly found that William Cobb was gone!

"What?!"

"Wasn't William still lying behind you just now?"

The old woman was also surprised to say that she had just seen William Cobb, who had fallen into hibernation due to the ice, lying behind William.

Her right hand clenched involuntarily, and the waiter behind her screamed, kneeling on the ground, covering himself.

The old woman suddenly remembered what William had just said.

William Cobb said... He met someone who was so fast that he couldn't react at all.

"Damn it! William, you idiot didn't bring back William Cobb at all, that's the guy who killed William! ”

The old woman stopped abruptly in the middle of her sentence, for her neck was choked by a large, slender and powerful hand.

William looked at the owner of the hand, it was none other than William Cobb, who had just come over with his back, wearing a clawed suit and being unusually heavy.

But now, William Cobb's clawed armor melted as quickly as a snowflake, revealing its true appearance below.

A nano-armor covered in black, and the person in the nano-armor is undoubtedly Depp who has been spying on William for an afternoon.

As soon as the Gotham Daily employees left, Depp used the illusion function on his armor to disguise himself as the exact same claw as William Cobb.

took advantage of this to get close to William, and then was carried here by this idiot step by step.

Damn, what kind of monster did I bring back?

William's brain was a little short-circuited, no wonder he felt that guy was unusually heavy when he was returned by William Cobb.

Fuck this is a suit of steel armor, and the weight is naturally very different from the suit!

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, I don't think you mind if you have a new friend at your tea party, do you?"

Depp choked the old woman's neck and didn't let her say a word.

Because Depp knew that this old woman was the leader of these people, he didn't want this old woman to give any more orders.

Depp had already put on his profile, and he looked at the old woman with a mask underneath him, and the information immediately appeared in front of him.

【Catherine Powers】Owl Court Judge

Main ability: The method of making claws.

Opinion: Never die.

Sure enough, the leader of the Owl Court is a member of the Powers family!

But her name and age were different from what she remembered.

This old woman, named Catherine, looked to be seventy or eighty years old.

Depp estimates that Catherine should be the mother of Joseph Powers, the leader of the contemporary Owl Court.

Depp pondered while waiting for a reply from those present.

However, after Depp finished speaking, no one present responded to his words.

The eyes under their white masks were staring at Catherine, the old woman.

It was as if they were waiting for her command.

At the same time, Catherine responded to Depp's words just now with a sneer on the corner of her mouth.

The next moment, all the members of the Owl Court at the table, except for Catherine, fell down one by one, spitting blood from their mouths.

Among them, the guy closest to Catherine, even before he died, shot the male waiter who Catherine was kneeling on the ground, and William, who was standing in the distance in a daze.

Apparently, as soon as they sensed the exposure, they bit through the deadly poison hidden under their tongues.

In order to protect their family from detection, they would rather sacrifice themselves.

Of course, they have to!

If they choose to survive, then what awaits them and their family will be the merciless torture and slaughter of the other members of the Owl Court.

Seeing this, Depp gradually let go of the hand that was holding Catherine's neck.

Depp lifted the masks of the court members one by one, only to find that their faces had been almost completely corroded and melted away with the spread of poison.

And their bodies are also dissolving rapidly.

The effects of this lethal poison are clearly not limited to killing.

Instead, the body of the poisoned person will be melted and completely destroyed, so that the information of the members of the court will not be found through the face and DNA.

Seeing this, Depp was a little stunned.

It seems that the members of the Owl Tribunal showed no mercy not only to the enemy, but even to themselves!

The ruthlessness and cruelty of these guys really made him a little unacceptable.

Seeing Depp's stunned appearance, Catherine said with a smile in a hoarse voice: "The Owl Court will not be at the mercy of anyone!" Want to know who we really are? Let's go in the next life! ”

As she spoke, Catherine wanted to bite through the poison hidden under her tongue, just like the melted members.

But at this time, Depp looked at Catherine's triumphant stinky face and laughed out loud.

"Haha, you old lady, you are really naïve!"

"Hard-mouthed boy, you are doomed to return in vain!"

"Are you sure so? Mrs. Catherine Bowles! ”

Catherine... Mrs. Bowers?!

Hearing Depp's words, Catherine immediately stayed where she was.

He couldn't figure out how that kid found out his true identity without even taking off his mask?

However, Depp did not have the idea of explaining to Catherine, he walked behind the first person on Catherine's right hand and said:

"Nigati Cross, the lobby manager of the Sunset Hotel, it seems that he chose to serve you, a shriveled old lady, with his flesh for the sake of money and power."

Then, Depp walked behind the next person:

"F. Vinci, the new head of the Finch family, seems to have a sizable number of large transport ships in Gotham."

"Kirk Lana, the future heir to the Rana family, seems to have come here just to have fun and is ignorant of the family's affairs."

"Naomi Beatty, the Beatty family, owner of Gotham City's famous women's clothing design company, this middle-aged woman seems... Have a leg with the brat of the Lana family. ”

"Claire de la Torre..."

"Ivas Braun..."

One by one, Depp said the identities of these owl court members who were no longer humanoids.

He was even more informative than Catherine knew.

As Depp walked behind these people one by one, Catherine's breathing gradually became rapid.

The expression on her face also changed from triumphant at the beginning to shock.

In the end, it was frozen at the level of horror.

Yes, Catherine was scared.

She couldn't figure out, who was the guy in front of her?

Why does he know everyone's information?

The secrets of the Owl Court, which had been hidden for hundreds of years, seemed completely transparent to this man.

This made Catherine feel that it was more difficult to accept than meeting the devil in hell!

"It can't be!"

Catherine yelled a little frantically, "You can't know the names and information of these people, it's impossible!" ”

Depp walked behind Catherine, gently put his palm on Catherine's white hair, and gently soothed: "Don't get excited, madam, it's not good for your body." And there is nothing impossible about it, after all, the Owl Court can exist in the shadows of Gotham for hundreds of years, what else is impossible in this world? ”

"No... No... It's not true, I must be dreaming..."

Catherine's long-standing faith collapsed in an instant.

In the past, she always felt that she was the real god of Gotham!

The Court of Owls is the eternal master of Gotham.

As long as the court lasts forever, then Gotham will always be the private property of these powerful families headed by himself.

But now, Depp's appearance has shattered Catherine's pride all along, without a trace.

She even wondered now that the man in front of her was God's messenger who had sent them to punish them.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Powers, I'm not going to make the information about the members of the Owl Court public."

Depp stroked the old man's silver hair and whispered in his ear.

Depp's words and reassurance seemed to really work at this moment, and Catherine looked at Depp with pleading eyes.

"Really? You... Isn't it true that our information will be made public? ”

"Of course, I will never let the people know about the Owl Court." Depp said firmly.

Then, Depp's hand caressing Catherine's hair suddenly exerted force.

Katsa!

Catherine's neck snapped in response, and Depp leaned into the side of her already limp-sagging head.

whispered in her ear: "I will kill all the bastards of these families one by one, quietly." ”

After doing all this, Depp turned back contemptuously, he looked at the dead owl court members behind him who couldn't die anymore, and said:

"No one is qualified to be the master of a city, no one can manipulate other people's lives forever, you will be punished... Owl Court. ”
