Chapter 21: Everything is in the Plan!
Dr. Hugo exited the Arkham Asylum and headed straight for the Owl Court.
As mentioned earlier, the Court of the Owls is made up of a wealthy and powerful elite in Gotham who claim to be the invisible rulers of Gotham.
Therefore, the gathering place of this group of magnates will not choose ordinary villas or clubs, and they must be mavericks to show their particularity.
Maybe that's the quirk of the rich.
The meeting place for the Owl Court was chosen in a sewer, with the entrance to a modest clock shop.
Perhaps only the humble owl sign on the door of the watch shop can prove that it belongs.
After a series of identity verifications, Dr. Hugo finally entered the sewers through the secret passage of the watch shop.
The sewers are not connected to the other sewers in Gotham City, they are completely independent and are abandoned sections left over from a municipal renovation project.
There is not the slightest smell in the sewers, but because it has been renovated by the Owl Court, the interior decoration is very delicate and quaint, and with the yellow lights on both sides of the upper passage, people can feel at first glance that this is a secret gathering with a long history.
Dr. Hugo continues to move on, finally reaching his destination - the Court of Owls, the helmsman of Gotham!
A long oval western dining table, multiple high-backed chairs around the table, and warm yellow light make up everything in the cave.
The long western table was now full of people, all of whom wore an owl's blindfold on their faces, obscuring their own faces, and Dr. Hugo could only see their deep eyes hidden under the mask.
Dr. Hugo is the only person in the entire cave who does not have a mask.
"Now that everyone is here, let's start the meeting." The woman sitting at the end of the long table spoke, "Dr. Hugo, take a seat." ”
Dr. Hugo sat in the last empty chair as usual, as usual.
This also means that Dr. Hugo has the lowest status among the members of the Owl Tribunal.
In fact, if they weren't optimistic about Dr. Hugo's human experiments, I'm afraid Dr. Hugo wouldn't even be qualified to enter the owl court!
"Let's talk about what happened in Gotham recently, you all know that a psychopathic killer named Kada Ember has been born, and the Maroni gang has suffered heavy losses, what do you think should be done with Kada Ember ......"
It's still the same as every meeting, but this time the topic of discussion is Kada Ash.
Dr. Hugo laughed in his heart as he listened to the so-called magnates arguing over Kada Ember at the table.
Don't say that he doesn't have a say now, and even if he does, he doesn't have anything to say.
If he had to express his opinion, he could only say one word to everyone present.
"It's all rubbish, wait for death!"
As a man who has come before, he is the only one left alive under Kada Ember, and he has a very strong say in it.
Not to mention Levi, even if he is now, he can destroy this group of so-called magnates who are mortal in the flesh at any time.
Dr. Hugo listened to their quarrel and, as Levi had instructed, shoved a small piece of shredded paper into the corner under the long table.
The scrap of paper had an invisible lotus flower attached to it by Levi.
This is one of Kada Ash's abilities – the pouring of the crowd.
In addition to being able to explode, the Invisible Lotus can also provide Levi with nearby vision.
The reason why it is stuffed into the corner of the long table is also to prevent some unlucky person from accidentally touching it and causing an explosion.
From now on, all the movements of the Owl Court are under Levi's control!
……
Some of the members felt that they could recruit Kada Ember into the Owl Court, and that his power would become a sharp blade in the hands of the Owl Court.
Others, however, believe that Kada Ember is too powerful and has an uncontrollable personality, and suggest that he be removed as a source of instability.
The members of the Owl Court argued for a long time, but in the end they did not come to a conclusion, and in the end the number of people on both sides was completely evenly divided.
In the end, it was the woman who presided over the opening of the meeting that interrupted the argument.
"Since we don't agree on anything, let's wait until Kada Ember is captured, and then let's hold a meeting here to decide what to do with him."
Hearing the woman say this, Dr. Hugo pursed his lips secretly with disdain.
Not at all! It's up to you? Want to catch Kada Ash?
However, although Dr. Hugo was disdainful, he did not cause much trouble, and completely carried out Levi's plan.
In the next session, Dr. Hugo reported on the progress of the experiment.
Although Indian Hill has always been under the name of the Wayne Group, in fact, the project of the Indian Mountain Hospital has long been stopped by the previous president of the Wayne Group, Thomas Wayne, and all the funds come from the Owl Court.
According to Dr. Hugo's report, the progress of the experiment is still not substantial.
The people of the Owl Court have long been accustomed to this, and they do not blame Dr. Hugo, and will still fund the next stage of his financial research.
But after reporting on the progress of the study, the woman headed by the Owl Court continued to ask.
"Dr. Hugo, I heard that Arkham Hospital has retaken over the convict medical business at City Hall?"
Dr. Hugo was shocked, and sure enough, as the dean said, the owl court quickly knew.
However, there was no panic on his face, and he explained according to what Levi had planned with him in advance.
"Yes, there are not enough test subjects lately, and the next stage of experiments will require a large number of test subjects, and the physical fitness of criminals is far more suitable as experimental materials than those addicts caught from the streets......"
The woman in the lead interrupted Dr. Hugo with a wave of her hand, and she didn't care about any of this.
Anyway, Dr. Hugo is just a scientific researcher, completely under control, and her purpose is just to knock Dr. Hugo.
"Okay, I see, no problem, the prison in Gotham will send criminals to you from time to time, you just need to do your research, but don't forget to ......"
With that, the woman stared into Dr. Hugo's eyes.
"Beware of the Owl Court, which keeps an eye on your travels;
A peek into Gotham City in the dark, hidden in a low-walled attic;
He was with him at home, and he was still between his bed and bed.
Don't mention his name, and the claws will look for you. ”
A ballad that has been circulated in the shadows of Gotham has fully explained the horror of the Owl Court.
In Gotham, there's nothing an owl doesn't know, and Talon is always watching everyone in the dark.
But you just don't know who Kada Ember is. ’
Dr. Hugo smiled in his heart, everything was in Levi's plan, but his face did not show the slightest flaw, and he nodded respectfully.
"I understand, ma'am."
As always.
"By the way, I have a copy of the information you can take back and see, this is what the Gotham Police Department just made today, for the profile of the suspect of Kada Ash......"
