"Because what he says is the truth, Gotham really can't be saved."

"Gotham is already in the best shape if it can maintain its current state."

Bruce replied without even thinking about it.

Although he answered Roy's question, his answer was similar to no answer.

What do you mean by this being the truth?

Could it be that the Gotham of this universe is the same as in the comics, Gotham is an altar specially built by Barbatos for Batman.

If Barbatos really exists in this universe, then the current changes in Bruce are not very difficult to understand.

Or rather, it can be said that it has passed.

After betraying the Joker by betraying the Pledge of No Killing, Barbatos secretly influences Bruce, unwittingly changing some of Bruce's minds, leading him to the idea that Gotham cannot be saved.

Roy didn't continue to ask Bruce, but looked at Bruce with a solemn expression.

If Barbatos really existed in this universe, Gotham would indeed be a city that was destined to be unsaved, as Bruce said.

But the question is, even if Barbatos really exists, what about the Joker.

Roy didn't think the Joker would take the initiative to die for no reason.

Even if he wanted to use this to fulfill his so-called advanced ideas, he would have died a little too haphazardly.

That's right!

It's just casual!

Until now, Roy has not been able to accept the fact that the Joker is dead.

Although he personally cremated the Joker's body with the Fire of the Stars and confirmed the Joker's death, he still felt that the Joker's death was a bit too haphazard.

It's not that a clown can't die, but a clown shouldn't die inexplicably.

Looking at Bruce, who was sitting across from him, Roy pondered.

After thinking about it for nearly half a minute, he dismissed the idea of using telepathy on Bruce.

Never mind!

Even if Barbatos really exists in this world, even if the Joker wants to use his death to achieve something, these things have nothing to do with him.

To put it mildly, he's a foreigner.

He just happened to live in Gotham.

Roy has always been clear about his position.

He won't be a superhero, or rather, he doesn't have what it takes to be a superhero.

With his character, he can only be an anti-hero if he survives.

"Since you already have such a judgment, then I won't ask any more questions."

"I'll deal with those miscellaneous fish of the gangster family and the underground organization, so I won't trouble you and Damian to run around."

"Also, thank you for Harry's business."

Roy said to Bruce.

"You're welcome, I'm just handy."

Bruce replied.

"Anyway, you've helped Harley out a lot of trouble."

"Otherwise, I may not be able to see Harley alive when I wake up."

"I owe you a favor, if there is anything you need my help with in the future, just say it."

Roy continued.

Whether Bruce accepts his thanks or not is Bruce's problem.

Whether or not to repay Bruce for his help is his business.

The two are not in conflict.

"I won't be polite to you if you need to."

Bruce said with a smile.

"I hope so."

"Alright, I won't bother you and Damian, let's go first."

With that, Roy stood up.

Then, in front of Bruce, he flashed and left the Batcave.

Kyle Building.

Office of the President.

Roy didn't go to Hallie's apartment again, and instead of immediately making a trip to the Metropolitan to thank Clark and Diana and the others, Roy went straight back to his president's office.

Back in the office, he first called Selina and told her that she was back.

Then, he thought about how to use the speed force.

On the surface, the effect of the speed force is to give the owner incredible speed.

But in reality, the use of the speed force is much more than that.

For example, time travel, travel matter, and so on.

After thinking about it carefully, Roy decided to study the use of the speed force in the next period of time.

Otherwise, I'm too sorry for the speed power I got.

In addition, the speed force is now his best hope for returning to the Marvel Universe.

While the Marvel Universe and the DC Universe aren't the same universe, there's never a harm in giving it a try.

If you're lucky, you'll be able to go straight back to the original Marvel Universe after mastering how to travel through time and space with the speed of God.

In terms of luck, Roy is still very confident in himself.

Because the unlucky don't become traversers.

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

Roy and Selina drive out of the Kyle Building and head to the restaurant they had booked.

Instead of going to a restaurant under their own name, they went to a well-known Italian restaurant.

This Italian restaurant, which has been open in Gotham for decades, is trying to move towards a century-old restaurant.

In Gotham, this Italian restaurant is one of the favorite restaurants of many rich and famous.

Not for anything else, because the Italian food in this restaurant is really authentic.

Whether it's a chef or a waiter, it's all Italian.

As for the ingredients, they were flown in directly from Italy.

Aside from not being in Italy, this Italian restaurant is as Italian as it is Italian.

If you are an ordinary person who wants to eat here, you must make a reservation at least two weeks in advance to have a chance to reserve a seat.

But for Roy and Selina, a phone call ahead of time is all it takes.

If you're lazy and don't even want to call, you can just go over.

As soon as they arrived, the restaurant owner would definitely find a way to arrange a nice spot for them.

After driving to the door of the restaurant, Roy and Selina got out of the car and walked in.

Parking or something, the receptionist at the door will take care of it himself.

After entering the restaurant, Roy and Selina arrived at their reserved spot, took the menu from the waiter's hand, and browsed it.

After ordering some signature dishes and drinks, Roy sent the waiter away.

Although there were many people in the restaurant looking at him now, Roy didn't pay attention to them at all, and started chatting with Selina without a word.

Unlike sending Selina to work in person, he didn't come here to tell the others that he was awake, but to have dinner.

The bodies of the leaders and core members of the gang families and underground organizations are still hanging high in the air in the center of Gotham.

With the corpses of these guys here, he didn't need to do anything else to declare himself awake.

In the melodious Italian song, Roy and Selina talk like a real couple.

Although they are talking about trivial things now, there are still many people who want to understand what they are talking about.

Roy didn't mind the other people in the restaurant looking at him, but he didn't like to be overheard.

After discovering that these guys were eavesdropping, he didn't hesitate and gave these guys a spiritual shock.

The guy who was eavesdropping on Roy's conversation with Selina immediately had an irrepressible strong fear in his heart, and his expression became extremely frightened.

At the same time, their bodies trembled uncontrollably, and sweat the size of beans appeared on their foreheads.

Although Selina couldn't sense the psychic power controlled by Roy, she reacted immediately after seeing the extremely frightened expressions of the guests sitting around her at the same time.

"Don't embarrass them too much, they're just curious."

Selina said to Roy.

"Since you've interceded for them, I'll spare them once."

After saying that, Roy lifted the mental shock on these guys.

Although he lifted the mental shock, the guys who had just felt the extreme fear would obviously not be able to recover for a while.

However, this is their own business, and it has nothing to do with Roy.

"Did you go see Hallie and Bruce this afternoon?"

Selina changed the subject and asked Roy.

"It's all gone."

"I'll go see them after I hang them."

Roy said slowly.

"Well, they've done a lot of things in the past few months, so it's reasonable to thank them."

"By the way, I thought about it this afternoon, and I plan to set up a new weapons department within the group, what do you think?"

Although no one dared to continue attacking the Kyle Group anymore, Selina decided to create a weapons department that didn't exist before.

After the previous attack, she completely understood a truth, that is, it is better to have the power in her own hands.

Otherwise, if you need to use your strength, you will have to ask someone else for help.

Selina didn't like this feeling, very much.

"I don't have a problem, you can decide."

"You can talk to Hancock about weapons development and manufacturing, I gave her some things and information, if it is manufactured, it should allow the group to gain a firm foothold in the military industry."

Roy said slowly.

Although this is the DC universe, no matter which universe it is, the core pillar industries of the beautiful country are those few.

Finance, technology, energy, military industry!

These four industries, like the four pillars of the house, support the house called the beautiful country.

Although the Kyle Group is now involved in a number of industries, among these four pillar industries, only some businesses are in the financial and technology industries.

As for the energy and military industries, the Kyle Group has not intervened at all.

"Well, since you don't object, then I'll arrange for the people below to form a new weapons department tomorrow."

Selina said quickly.

After a few more minutes of chatting, the waiter came over with a silver plate carrying their signature dish.

Roy and Selina put a pause on the topic for a moment and began savoring tonight's dinner.

Time flies.

Before you know it, more than an hour has passed.

After a full meal, Selina suddenly proposes to take a walk after the meal.

Although it is not known why Selina suddenly came up with this idea, Roy did not refuse, and walked out of the restaurant with Selina.

Strictly speaking, nights in Gotham aren't very good for going out.

Even in the so-called rich and commercial areas, at night, there will inevitably be crimes.

However, this is not a problem for Roy and Selina.

It's good that they don't go to the trouble of those criminals.

If there was a non-long-eyed guy to provoke them, Roy wouldn't mind having some more corpses hanging from the chains of the stars.

Selina took Roy's right arm and walked aimlessly down the promenade.

If tonight ends like this, it's going to be a good day for Roy and Selina.

However, accidents always happen in unexpected places.

Just as Roy and Selina were enjoying their long-lost walk, several police cars sped towards them and stopped in front of them.

Then, Gordon, who had already met several times, stepped out of the car with a team of heavily armed SWAT officers and walked straight to Roy.

"Mr. Roy, someone reported that you did the mass murder in the center of Gotham this afternoon, and provided the corresponding evidence, please come with us."

Gordon pulled out an arrest warrant and said to Roy.

Although it was true that he did it, Roy did not plan to go with Gordon.

Glancing at the arrest warrant in Gordon's hand, he said unhurriedly:

"I don't know who reported me, and I don't know what kind of evidence the whistleblower provided, but I'll just say it again, you've found the wrong person."

Roy denied it without even thinking about it.

"Mr. Roy, this is not something that you can end by denying it, come with us."

"If you're really wronged, you'll be fine."

Gordon continued.

"Sorry, I have no interest in going to the Gotham Police Station for the night."

"If you want to force me there, you can try."

Roy said nonchalantly.

Although Gordon brought a team of heavily armed SWAT officers, he didn't panic at all.

Not to mention a team of special police, even if a whole group army of the beautiful country is here, he will not pay attention to it at all.

"Mr. Roy, don't let us take it, we're just doing what we're told."

Gordon continued to persuade Roy.

While it's not very clear where Roy came from and what his true strength really is, one thing Gordon is sure of is that Roy is not the one they can take.

If Roy doesn't cooperate, it won't be useful for the Gotham Police Department to go all out.

"I won't say the same thing to you a second time."

"Remind you, you can report it truthfully when you go back, and say that I threatened you to leave."

"As long as you relay this sentence, there should be no business for you in the future."

After saying that, Roy ignored Gordon and left straight away with Selena.

Seeing Roy leave with Selina with a calm face, Gordon stood in place with a complicated expression.

When Roy and Selina walked out a few dozen meters, he said to the special police officers they brought:

"Close, let's go back to the police station."

Although it was a bit embarrassing, Gordon knew that he really couldn't do anything about Roy right now.

In addition, Roy's last reminder was equivalent to giving him a step down.

Although leaving like this is not very professional.

But in a place like Gotham, blindly sticking to professional ethics will only die faster.

Gordon is no stranger to this.

After Gordon and the others left, Selina looked at Roy suspiciously, and said slowly:

"There should be no prosecutor in Gotham who dares to issue an arrest warrant against you, whose name is written on that arrest warrant in Gordon's hand?"

"Just a guy I don't know."

"If I'm not mistaken, the prosecutor should have signed it head-on."

"If you're not lucky, the prosecutor who issued the arrest warrant would have been a corpse by now."

Roy replied.

There is certainly nothing wrong with the arrest warrant in Gordon's hand, and the person who issued the arrest warrant must also be the prosecutor of Gotham.

But that doesn't mean that the prosecutor he doesn't know is the one who willingly issued the warrant.

Having a signature is not the same thing as whether I am willing or not.
