American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander - Chapter 430

“Is that so?”

Listening to Victor’s story, Carmine narrowed his eyes, and his cloudy eyes were slightly narrowed by the pressure of his eyelids.

He narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, then smiled.

“No experience, haha, such people should be called a mob in any industry.

But it is such a mob that achieved a nearly perfect execution result in their first action.

It stands to reason that when they have perfectly carried out their crimes, they have surpassed 95% of their peers in the profession of robbing banks.

But after the action was successful, they died together.”

Carmine put down the kettle, and an interested expression appeared on his face.

He went to the sofa and sat down calmly, putting his hands on his legs and said.

“Victor, what kind of person would choose to lead a group of newcomers to do things?

A confident person.

The leader of this criminal plan is a very confident person. He is particularly sure that his plan can be successfully executed by a group of newcomers.

Then what kind of person would be willing to overturn a criminal plan that has been perfectly executed, and even throw away the results of this plan?

A person with lofty goals!”

At this point, Carmine showed a determined expression on his face, and his index finger gently tapped his thigh.

“We don’t know who this person is… or who this group of people is.

But we don’t need to know too much, and there’s no need to rush, because he will surface on his own initiative.

Do you know what I saw in the information you brought me?

Dark alleys, messy corpses, and coins scattered all over the sky.

What you see is a fog, but what I see is a scene in a drama.

Gotham has always been a stage for lunatics. You and I have been part of the lunatics, and even now we are still lunatics.

Then, he is the same. The person who created all this is no different from us.

I think, maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow night.

When the people of Gotham have not had time to forget what happened in the early hours of this morning, he will continue to take action to help us consolidate our memory of him.

There is now one more person vying for the spotlight on this stage.”

At this point, Carmine handed the tablet to Victor.

Victor took the tablet and turned it off, then nodded to Carmine.

“Carmine, your senses are still sharp. I can’t help but recall the past.”

“Don’t recall, because this place doesn’t belong to me anymore.

Now, I belong to this city again!

Just like the short folk songs that Gotham people occasionally recite, Gotham people want to escape from this crazy city all the time, but the real Gotham people will always come back at the right time no matter how long they leave.

Don and Bruce’s little ghosts, as well as the little ghosts of the Luther Group, gathered together and focused on the colorful things farther away from this city.

Then, the daytime of this city can only be guarded by us old Gotham people.

Fortunately, Don still remembers his identity, and the night of Gotham is still in the hands of him, the new king of Gotham.

Accompany me to the manor later. Even if Donton has to leave here when the sun rises, we should let him know that he has a new challenger!”

At this point, Carmine made a decision and drove to the manor with Victor.

When the two of them arrived, most of the people in the manor were still asleep. Only Lex and Bruce were working in the lab, constantly debugging the intelligent robots that had just been put into production last night.

In the laboratory, Tony took a deep breath, rubbed his eyes, and said, looking at the 26 intelligent armors around him.

“The efficiency is much faster than I thought. It is worthy of your laboratory.

The scientific research potential of Wayne Group and Luther Group really shocked me.

Your previous statement was a bit too modest. The technological background of your laboratory is not less than that of mine.

Except for Jarvis, I really have nothing that can surpass you.”

“Talk less and do more.”

Bruce interrupted Tony without raising his head.

Looking at Bruce, whose face was full of the word “focus”, Tony shook his head with a smile and responded.

“Yes, yes, yes, it’s worthy of Batman’s words. No wonder you can never make friends in your world.

You know, in many anthologies, your being alone is a joke.

Whenever an event is over and other heroes get together for a party, you are always the forgotten one, and no one is willing to invite you to the party.

Well, maybe you don’t like that kind of party yourself, but not liking is not liking, and not being liked is not being liked.

You are really annoying sometimes, especially when you don’t even want to make a joke with us.”

After complaining, Tony closed his eyes tiredly and took two deep breaths.

After a sleepless night, he was really a little tired.

More than a decade ago, Tony didn’t get tired so easily. At that time, he was a real playboy.

Even if he was busy with his scientific research in the laboratory every day, Tony would not miss the time at night.

Every night, he had to sweat a few pounds on different women at least.

But that was in the past. Now even his beard is turning white, isn’t it?

What’s more, when he was kidnapped a while ago, he really felt the real fatigue in that damn cave.

Just like the first thing he did after escaping was to quickly make some hamburgers to eat.

After experiencing such fatigue, he really didn’t want to be so tired anymore.

But in the final analysis, hey, didn’t he still find a new desire.

He needs the attention and love of New Yorkers and even people all over the world.

Even if those people don’t love him, he has to let his needs catch up with him and keep working hard.

Who told him to be cheap? Why don’t he do anything good but want to be a hero.

Is it that the cover girl of Playboy is not attractive anymore, or that he has played with all the women in Hollywood?

Why do I have to walk the road of hero?

Thinking of this, Tony sneered at himself in his heart, and then continued to devote himself to the work at hand.

There is never too much intelligent armor. Now that one more is made, it is possible to suppress one more battlefield in the next battle against Hydra.

Seeing Tony tired but still trying to ensure the quality of his work.

Lex, who was not far away, took out an injection from the table nearby and threw it to Tony from a distance.

“Take this, a version that does not hurt your body. It can help you stay excited and provide you with some nutrition.”

“Ha, do you think I need this?

Although my body is not as good as Batman’s, I am Iron Man after all. I am a superhero who has practiced boxing for a long time!

You should use that kind of refreshing medicine yourself. Only you need it!”

“Hehe…”

Facing Tony’s ridicule, Lex sneered and picked up another injection and pushed it into his vein.

As the medicine entered his body, Lex shivered and his eyes immediately shone.

While Lex was giving himself a chicken blood, the door of the laboratory slowly opened.

Although separated by two rooms, Lex and the other two still looked at the door through the glass at the first time.

Facing the gazes of the three, Victor grinned.

“You two always wake up earlier than them, even Freud doesn’t… huh?

Interesting, you have one more guy, was he recruited yesterday?”

“For now, it’s just cooperation.”

Lex responded to Victor, and then looked at the old man with his hands hanging silently behind Victor.

After observing the old man, he immediately looked at Bruce.

“Bruce, that guy is Falcone, right?”

“Indeed.”

Bruce agreed, then lowered his head and continued his work.

While they were working, Victor and Carmine also passed through the rooms between them and came to the assembly center of the intelligent armor.

Looking at the armors being debugged by Tony, which were performing various actions smoothly, Carmine muttered with emotion.

“Time flies by so fast.

A month ago, I was just smug about the few nuclear bombs I had stored, thinking I had enough cards to turn the table.

But just a month later, when I was still playing with nuclear weapons in an old-fashioned way and regarded RPG and other things as good things, you guys have already started to make mechas!”

Speaking of this, the emotion on Carmine’s face deepened.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

“If I had these things you guys were playing with, I might be able to deal with the trouble of the Court of Owls by myself!”

“What you can’t do, Tang has already done, why bother reminiscing about the past here?

Carmine, you didn’t come here to greet us, did you?

Tell me why you came, as long as you are not asking me for the Iron Armor, then I don’t mind chatting with you for a while.

The number of armors is far from enough, and I can’t spare any extra to arm our gang for you, do you understand?”

“Haha, I understand, I understand very much.

To be honest, I didn’t even know you were manufacturing armors on a large scale before I came.

Your words are actually a pleasant surprise, because I at least know that when your armors are redundant, the Ghost Party will also be able to get armor support.

The new era is really good, I wonder if this kind of armor can make an old guy like me feel a little younger.”

Carmine laughed with emotion, and while laughing, he tried to put his hand on the chest of a armor.

Feeling the cold temperature of the armor, Carmine pursed his lips excitedly.

He really felt that he had suddenly become several years younger.

On the side, looking at the excited Carmine, Bruce pursed his lips and asked coldly.

“You haven’t told me why you came.”

“Well, I know I haven’t told you yet, you don’t have to remind me, Bruce.

I came to find Tang, but he obviously hasn’t gotten up yet. Even if he is sleeping in the same bed with my daughter, I can’t pull him up from my daughter.

I came a little early. In the manor, except for the maids, only you guys are awake.

So, I can only come to your side to take a look. After all, at my age now, it is not suitable to do things like teasing maids.”

“Let’s talk business!” Bruce suddenly interrupted Carmine’s greetings.

Hearing this, Carmine nodded slightly, and then found two stools with Victor to the lower left.

After sitting down, Carmine said softly.

“There’s a little surprise in Gotham. A group of guys who want to challenge the new king have stood up and started to announce their presence in the city.

I know that there is no need to disturb Don’s fun because they are just small characters who are only worthy of competing with me.

But anyway, this is Don’s city, I have to tell him. “

After the voice fell, Carmine turned his head and looked out the window. Through the rolling grassland, his eyes fell on the direction of Downton.

After all, I found a good home for my daughter.

While Carmine was staring, Bruce frowned and asked him softly.

“There is a crime again in Gotham. Do you know who did it?”

“I don’t know, and I don’t need to know, because although I haven’t seen the person who led this incident, I have seen his character.

That is definitely a top-level performance personality.

I felt the taste of being difficult, and I was more prepared to meet the challenge of newcomers, haha! “

Carmine laughed softly.

And just as he was smiling, a cell phone suddenly vibrated not far away.

Bruce took out his cell phone, took a look, and then answered it.

As soon as he answered it, the voice of Sheriff Gordon came from the other side of the phone.

“Bruce, I’m glad you’re still awake.”

“I’m glad to hear your call, Sheriff Gordon.”

“You’re too early to be happy.”

Gordon responded to Bruce, while holding the phone and looking at the body in front of him.

At this time, he was squatting in front of the body with the phone in one hand, and the other hand was pressing on a card on the chest of the body.

“I lost two of my men, Bruce, they were both police academy students I had just recruited.

The city of Gotham has changed a lot, and the old police in the past are not very useful, so I replaced some newcomers, some young, passionate, still motivated, and not yet polluted.

But two died today. “

Speaking of this, Gordon picked up the card on the chest of the corpse and placed the blood-stained card under the rising sun.

It was a blood-dripping poker card, and the card face was… the Joker!

Somehow, Gordon always felt that he saw the clown’s bloody and crazy smile from the Joker card.

So he instinctively took a breath of cold air and said to Bruce.

“You should have known about the bank robbery that happened last night.

There is a new discovery in that case.

In addition to the homeless man who died on the street after robbing money, two of the six robbers who committed the robbery had the Joker pattern in the poker card tattooed on their shoulders and necks.

As for my men who just died, they followed the interpersonal relationships of the dead robbers and searched the robbers’ respective homes.

The result became like this, with the bodies of two young people lying in front of me, and I guess there are several other bodies like this in other places in Gotham!

Of course, there is an exquisite Joker card on the chest of every dead police officer! “

“I know! “

Hearing this, Bruce quickly said to Gordon.

“Don’t continue to investigate, because I know who committed the crime!

That’s a troublesome guy. I will send someone to wake up Donton later. I hope I won’t provoke that guy to get up. “

Bruce quickly hung up the phone, and then said to Lex and Tony in front of Carmine.

“Did you all hear it?”

“I heard it, the Joker is here, damn it!”

Tony rubbed his face tiredly.

“He came at a really bad time. You are going to have some trouble here. That’s the Joker, your lifelong enemy!”

“Yeah, the Joker, I just read his comics yesterday, and he popped out of the city today?

It’s just… I always feel that something is wrong.

After all, it was Bruce and Clark who were constantly played by the Joker.

But Donton is in this city!

How dare the Joker! “

Lex couldn’t help sighing.
