"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
In the middle of the night, the sound of the door being slammed violently broke the silence.
In the manor that looked like a royal castle, a man wearing a black mask and covered in blood was panting heavily like a stone pillar in front of the door.
This man was none other than Bruce, the current owner of Wayne Enterprise.
At the same time, he was also the man who lurked in the dark and terrified countless sinners.
Not long after, the door was slowly pulled open from the inside. It was an old white man in a suit with sparse white hair and glasses.
This old man was Bruce's butler, Alfred Pennyworth.
He was also one of the few people who knew about the identity of Batman.
After seeing Bruce, who was covered in blood, Alfred was clearly stunned. Then, his eyes revealed a look of disbelief."Mr. Bruce, you…"
"Quickly help me in!"
Bruce had already reached his limit. Seeing that the other party had opened the door, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly spoke.
Alfred did not dare to hesitate. He quickly helped Bruce into the house and let him lean on the sofa.
Then, he ran to close the door and began to rummage through the first aid kit.
As a batman, the medical equipment in Bruce's house was naturally very neat.
Soon, Alfred ran over with the first aid kit.
While treating Bruce's injuries, Alfred could clearly see the bruises on his body, as well as the scratches left behind by countless sharp claws.
The most shocking thing was the three bloody holes on his body.
He was obviously shot!
"Mr. Bruce, what happened just now?”
Alfred could not help but ask.
Bruce endured the pain and gritted his teeth."I was ambushed by a guy called Maroni. I didn't dare to go to the hospital, let alone the company. Fortunately, I had the Batmobile. Otherwise, I might not have been able to come back!”
Thinking about how he had always been smooth sailing, even if he met a difficult opponent, he could still deal with them without any danger.
But now, he had almost died there!
He died at the hands of a despicable gang leader!
The hatred in his heart grew. Bruce gritted his teeth."However, no matter what, I will not let that guy off easily!”
Alfred nodded and said,""Maroni, the new leader of the Faku family?”
"As long as you're willing, Mr. Bruce, with Wayne Organization's strength, you can easily deal with him! There was no need for him to risk his life as a batman.”
Bruce shook his head.""He's the first person to make me so miserable. I want to catch him myself!”
As he spoke, he could not help but clench his fists.
However, because of this action, he could not help but grimace and break out in a cold sweat.
At this moment, the sound of a car engine came from outside.
Bruce was stunned at first, and then an unbelievable thought appeared in his mind.
"Could it be…Maroni's men? But how was this possible? My identity is only known to a few people closest to me!”
With a trace of hope, Bruce thought, Perhaps it was someone else. Maroni shouldn't be that capable.
However, it was precisely this trace of luck that cut off his last hope of escaping.
As the engine went out, the sound of doors opening and closing could be heard.
Then, a series of hurried footsteps followed.
"Hurry up! Follow him, don't let him get away!”
"Kill the batman and you'll get five million dollars! If anyone delays the matter, I'll be the first to kill him!”
……
Hearing the voice coming from outside, Bruce's face turned pale. It was as if all the strength in his body had been sucked out, and he collapsed on the sofa.
He knew that he was…finished!
After a moment of silence, Bruce took a deep breath and said in a hoarse voice,"Alfred, you should hide. You might be able to keep your life.”
The other party had followed him for many years. Now, knowing that he was going to die, he was unwilling to drag him down with him.
Alfred's expression was extremely ugly, but he shook his head vigorously. Trembling, he took out a pistol from his pocket and aimed it at the door.
The next moment, the door was kicked open!
Dozens of burly men swarmed in like a swarm of bees.
At this moment, Alfred's thin figure with a gun seemed so laughable.
"Hahahaha…Boss, you're right. Batman is here!”
"Five million dollars, here I come!"
For a moment, the burly men were like hungry wolves that had seen mutton. Their eyes lit up and they pounced on Bruce crazily.
During this time, Alfred had shot and killed a few people, but it was still to no avail.
Soon, they were torn to pieces by these crazy guys.
……
The next morning.
The newspapers of various media outlets published a series of major events that happened yesterday at the same time.
" The gang members, who had been silent for a long time, once again stepped onto the streets of Gotham City last night. They committed arson and other crimes. After the riot forces suppressed them, more than 600 people have been arrested. The arrest operation is still ongoing.”
"The chairman of Wayne Enterprise died tragically at home yesterday. He was wearing a batman suit!”
……
The first piece of news, even if it wasn't published in the newspapers, the citizens of Gotham knew it very well.
After all, they had seen it with their own eyes.
As for the second piece of news, it was even more shocking!
It was as if a heavy bomb had been thrown into the already turbulent lake!
Batman…is the chairman of Wayne Enterprise?
Moreover, he was killed yesterday! It was no wonder that despite the huge upheaval last night, there was still no sign of the appearance of the batman!
The entire Gotham City was once again in an unprecedented state of shock.
……
"Harvey Dante, can you explain the riot of the gang members last night?”
"According to the relevant personnel, the reason for the riot last night was because your methods against the gang members were too radical. What do you think?”
"Mr. Dante, do you feel guilty about Gotham City suffering such a huge loss?”
Early in the morning, Harvey was surrounded by reporters who had been waiting for a long time as soon as he stepped out of the door. The reporters asked aggressive questions, each sharper than the last.
Even though Jim had called him last night and told him everything.
But when he heard the reporters 'questions, Harvey's expression was still extremely ugly.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, he said in a deep voice,"Gotham City has been shrouded in darkness for too long. My arrival is to dispel the darkness and let the citizens of Gotham see the light again!”
He thought that his words were enough to deal with the current difficulties, but a reporter's words instantly shattered his beautiful fantasy.
"Are you saying that in order to fight against the dark forces, you don't care even if it threatens the safety of the citizens?”
