Chapter 185: The Court of Owls: Civil War
Looking at the corpses of the current decision-makers of the Owl Tribunal, who have not yet had time to learn how to run the court, the next heirs have a little tingling.
To be honest, they are only enjoying the benefits of the court now, and they are completely incapable of taking on the ability to inherit the Owl Court.
But human desires are not weakened by a lack of ability.
On the contrary, the more incompetent the person, the more explicit the desire for power.
This new generation of nobles, after the initial panic, quickly confirmed the most important thing for them at this stage.
Fight for power!
Although the old Powers couple are already dying, they have long since cultivated the next generation of successors.
Joseph Bowles and Catherine Bowles.
It's a pity that these two, like their elderly parents, were killed by Depp.
And before that, Depp had secretly told the news of the death of all four leaders of the Powers family to the other owl court member families.
At first, they were still in a state of half-belief, but when they saw that the person who came from the Bowles family today was only a stunned young man in his early twenties, they finally believed the news.
The Powers family is really leaderless and at the end of the road!
Since the older generation has died, there is no need to talk about any rules and inheritance.
The heir of the Cross family, a middle-aged man who is close to forty years old, said: "If you want me to say, since the old guys are now dead, shouldn't we choose a new leader first?" ”
His words resonated with everyone, except the Powers family.
For a while, the heirs of each family immediately responded to the words of the heir of the Cross family, and discussed who should inherit the position of leader.
The boy of the Powers family had a gloomy face, and this was not the result he wanted to see.
After all, for nearly a hundred years before this, the supreme leader of the Owl Court had always been a member of the Powers family.
But he's too young!
He's only in his early twenties, and these half-aged guys won't listen to him at all!
The young little Powers bit his lip and said in his heart, if it weren't for the death of his grandparents and his parents at the same time, this group of guys would never dare to be so arrogant. Moreover, the death of the four of them is indeed too strange!
Moreover, since he came alone today, it is naturally not difficult for this group of guys to see that their older generation has all died.
Then there is no need to hide anything from yourself!
At the same time, Bowers Jr. found that in addition to his own family, there were several other families that seemed to be in the same situation as himself.
The older leaders of the Finch and Rana families did not come, and the next generation of heirs who were the same age as themselves came.
There's something wrong with this, it seems... Someone is trying to stir up a wedge between the big families in the Owl Court!
Bowers Jr. was brilliant from an early age, so he was chosen as the heir to the next generation.
At this moment, he finally thought that the bizarre deaths of those family members were definitely someone trying to stir up the relationship between several major families!
I don't know what the man's purpose is, but I can't let them succeed!
Thinking of this, his eyes narrowed slightly and he stepped back.
Little Powers knew that he couldn't break the mystery man's conspiracy just yet, because that guy might be hiding among these people!
Bowers Jr. retreated to the door, then ran towards the room full of clawed warriors' coffins.
As a cultivated heir, he knows all too well how talon warriors are made and how to control them.
And now, he needs to activate those claw warriors as his bodyguards, and then he can let those guys who are all about seizing power in their heads calmly listen to their own analysis of this matter!
He ran to the room full of red coffins and opened the lid of the red coffin closest to him.
Press the button to defrost and activate.
Moments later, the icy water melted, but the Claw warrior lying in the coffin did not wake up.
"What's going on?" Little Powers wondered: "I did it exactly according to what my grandmother said, there could be no problem!" ”
"Maybe... This guy was too unlucky to become a true talon warrior! ”
Then he opened the lid of the second coffin.
Similarly, the clawed warrior showed no signs of recovering after the thaw.
"It can't be!"
The third, the fourth, the fifth...
It's all the same, these clawed warriors, as if they really died in a coffin.
Looking at the dead bodies lying quietly in the coffins, exuding cold air all over their bodies, little Powers suddenly felt his scalp tingle.
"Damn, what the hell is going on?"
Suddenly, little Powers seemed to have discovered something.
Holding back his nausea, he pulled the mouth of the clawed warrior in front of him open.
Then he picked up the magnifying glass he had with him and looked at the Talon Warrior's mouth.
"Sure enough, the amber gold yuan coin behind the claws and teeth was taken away!"
After this, Bowers opened all the coffin lids one by one, and examined the mouths of the Talon warriors one by one.
Eventually, he discovered that all the amber coins in the Talon Warrior's mouth had been taken.
Standing next to the empty coffin at the back that had been intended for Bruce, little Ballston felt chills all over.
The way to craft and maintain the abilities of the Claw Warrior should only be known to the people of your own family!
It's a secret that only every Owl Court leader knows, and it is impossible for ordinary people to know that the Talon Warriors hold life together with the amber coins stuck in their back molars.
But now, the family that has been stirring up infighting among several major families seems to know even this.
That guy... Who the hell is it?
At this moment, little Powers suddenly felt that his neck was pressed against a cold object.
He immediately understood that it was an extremely sharp knife that had been sharpened.
It's like the knives used by the clawed warriors.
Then...
"Huh!"
After the faint sound of swinging the knife, little Powers' eyes widened, and a blood line quietly appeared on his neck.
Then, his head lowered slightly, and he tumbled forward and fell.
This knife cut off little Powers' neck without resistance, and the edge of the knife was as smooth as a mirror.
Little Powers' head gurgled and rolled into the empty coffin.
At this moment of spinning, little Powers finally saw who the guy who wanted to provoke a war between several major families was.
"Come to Oonardo Depp... It turned out to be you, you nouveau riche with no family history..."
Winter, winter, winter...
Little Powers' head, with an unwilling expression, fell into the empty coffin originally prepared for Bruce.
At the moment when his life was completely over, little Powers's eyes were still wide, and he couldn't blink a blind eye!
As the brilliance in Bowers' eyes completely disappeared, his body seemed to have just begun to react. His own head was cut off.
Blood gushed out from the incision in his neck, and the originally white and quiet secret room was immediately filled with scarlet.
Depp tossed the katana from the Claw Warrior into the coffin, then removed a black umbrella from the system space.
Blood gushed down from the ceiling and dripped down the black raincloth on the umbrella.
Powers Jr.'s life is over at this moment, but Depp's killing plan has just begun.
As the blood sprayed out, little Powers' body also went limp.
Depp blew lightly, causing his body to fall into the coffin as well.
He took out his claw information plate from his coat pocket and placed it on the lid of the coffin.
After doing all this, Depp left the secret room step by step.
This time, instead of using super speed, he used his grandmaster-level stealth ability and perspective ability to evade all the owl court members and walk out of their lair step by step.
Then, Depp's eyes turned slightly white, and a nameless wind suddenly blew, erasing all his bloody footprints.
Half an hour later, the members of the Owl Court, who were still discussing the leader, finally found that Bowers Jr. was missing.
This can make them anxious, after all, the Bowers family is the only one who knows how to make and use the Talon Warriors, which is why the Powers family has been able to sit firmly at the top of the Owl Court for a hundred years.
If little Powers is determined to die together and activate all the claw warriors to slaughter his own people, they will not be able to stand it!
The Claw Warriors are powerful, and they know that they don't want to face those who can't be killed.
Then, they began to search, or rather capture, Powers Jr.
When the first man arrived at the chamber where the Talon warriors were sleeping, he was stunned.
The originally white chamber was now covered in scarlet blood.
The spurts of blood made several walls and floors reddened with blood.
He screamed and called everyone over, and they finally found out that little Powers was dead in the coffin.
And the heads of the people were separated, and the death was miserable.
On the lid of the coffin, there are photos and information of the original Talon warriors inside.
Inside the coffin was a katana used by a clawed warrior.
Everyone understood at this moment that little Powers was directly hacked to death by this talon warrior after activating the talon warrior.
These people look at me, I look at you, and their eyes are full of vigilance.
"Now, even little Powers is dead." The heir of the Cross family said: "I think no one knows how to make these claws that are not human or ghost, right?" ”
"I don't think so, maybe someone in the Powers family knows these secrets, and I think we need to act as soon as possible," said the Finch family. ”
"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"
The words of the heir of the Finch family have been recognized by more people.
After all, the Claw Warrior is an oversized biological weapon, and even the Owl Court is reluctant to abandon it.
It would be best if you could pry out the rest of the Powers family to create the Claw Warriors and the methods to control them.
The people of several major families were guarding against each other while discussing when to launch an attack on the Powers family.
On the streets of Gotham City, a light rain was falling, leaving people without time to pay attention to the clouds overhead and the people around them with the same umbrellas.
At the end of the street, a man in a white shirt and a black suit walks slowly with a black umbrella.
Because of the rain, everyone hurried away.
No one noticed that from the rain that slipped from the black umbrella, wisps of red like blood flowed.
Back in the Batcave, Depp saw Bruce feasting.
Beside him, there are all the people who have been worried about him all this time.
Alfred, Dick Grayson, James Gordon, Harvey Dent, Oswald. Selena along with Wayren and Ivy.
Everyone looked at Bruce, who was holding a steak in his left hand and a hamburger in his right hand, and kept stuffing it into his mouth, and finally let go of his heart, which had been mentioning his throat.
After a while, Bruce rubbed his stomach and slumped back in his chair with a satisfied expression.
Seeing his current state, everyone wanted to ask something, but no one was embarrassed to open their mouths.
Fortunately, Depp is back, and everyone throws him a "you know" look, hoping that Depp will ask Bruce what he has been through during this time.
But Depp waved his hand and said: "Everyone go home, your current state is not much better than Bruce, hurry up and go home and rest, and other things will be talked about tomorrow." ”
"But..."
Gordon wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Depp: "By the way, James, when you go back later, you can take the bat lamp from the roof of Harvey's house back to the rooftop of the Gotham Police Station." ”
When Harvey heard this, he explained: "It's better to put that thing with me, after all, the current public opinion situation is really not optimistic." ”
Depp waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll turn this around tomorrow, you don't need to worry about this at all." ”
Tomorrow is the day when Depp will really close the net.
He sincerely hoped that the members of the Owl Court would fight fiercely.
The provincial ones also need to fan the fire themselves.
When Wei Lun heard this, he immediately said, "Really? That's great, sales of Batman's comics and figure merchandise have almost doubled during this time! ”
Even now, the first thing in Wellen's heart is still to let Depp make more money.
I have to say, Wei Lun, this kid, has a promising future!
Under Depp's persuasion, everyone left the Bat Cave one after another, and finally Selena took Dick back to Depp's antique store.
Seeing that everyone left, only Depp and Alfred remained in the Batcave.
Bruce finally took off his mask and said, "I mean, how the hell did you find me?" ”
"If you had to ask, all I could say was," Depp approached Bruce, looked him in the eye and said, "I can see through everything." ”
"See through everything?" Bruce said suspiciously, he didn't know what Depp meant by this, "You guy, why do you always like to play pantomime?" ”
Depp said: "I didn't play pantomime, I can really see through everything!" ”
Apart from... Zinc!
"Forget it, do you have any countermeasures about those guys?"
Bruce gave up asking about Depp, anyway, Depp always said it when he wanted to.
Otherwise, even if you try your best to check, you won't be able to find any useful information at all.
To be honest, Bruce thinks he is a fart Dark Knight compared to Depp.
The man in front of him is the guy who is really hidden in the darkness and can never be seen and touched.
Depp thought for a while and said, "Regarding the matter of those guys in the Owl Court, don't worry, there will be a good show tomorrow." ”
