American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander

Chapter 29 We only have one chance



Donton put down his fork and waved to the woman, then pulled out a pistol from his waist.

After loading the gun, Donton raised the gun and fired two rounds at the ceiling.

Bang!

The moment the gunshot sounded, even the woman who thought she was experienced trembled with fear.

As for the other people in the restaurant, after a brief daze, some of them squatted under the table at the first time, while the others fled madly.

If Donton killed one or two fleeing people at this time, and then ordered them to stand still, and dragged another qualified hostage by the way.

Then he could start a small robbery in the Kane Hotel.

But what Donton wanted was to make the restaurant chaotic. Only a chaotic restaurant could make the security guards who were planning to shoot afraid to act rashly.

While rushing towards the fleeing crowd, Donton picked up a little boy who was abandoned by his careless mother.

Rubbing the boy's face with the muzzle of the gun, Donton said to him with a smile.

"Young man, uncle will take you on an adventure!"

"You lied, you are a bad guy!"

The little boy looked four or five years old, so he was not stupid. He cringed in Downton's arms, grabbed Downton's collar and said to him.

Hearing the child's words, Downton grinned at him.

"Stop talking nonsense, you are a hostage now, haha!"

While laughing, Downton freed his hands and waved to the surprised security guard in the distance.

Then, Downton held the child and swaggered down the stairs, walked out of the Kane Hotel, crossed the garden at the door and came to the street.

After smashing the window of an Audi R8 with the butt of the gun, Downton put the child down and drove the middle-aged man in the driver's seat out with a gun pointed at him.

"Good morning, man, I wish you a happy life in Gotham!"

While starting the car, he waved at the middle-aged man who raised his hands with the muzzle of the gun.

Hearing Downton's words, the middle-aged man's forehead turned red with anger.

"This is my new car that I just bought three weeks ago. You... drive it gently, man!"

"Haha, I can drive it however I want. Wait until I go to the police station to claim your car!"

Under the distressed eyes of the middle-aged man, Downton stepped on the accelerator hard and rushed out at lightning speed.

With a violent push back, he scraped several cars along the way and rushed out of the small encirclement temporarily set up by the police who had just arrived on the edge of the car accident.

After driving out two more streets, Downton crashed the car directly into a BMW 4S store.

While the store was in chaos, he got out of the car and walked farther and farther against the flow of people.

At the same time, in the helicopter flying over Gotham, Gordon looked helplessly at the chaos caused by Downton.

Beside Gordon, the sniper asked softly.

"I have locked onto Downton. Can you shoot, Sheriff?"

"Will shooting work?"

Gordon replied to the sniper helplessly, and then continued to look at Downton who was walking away with a telescope.

When Downton was sleeping, Gotham was still running. In order to collect information about Downton, Gordon even met with Falcone.

In this Gotham City where gangs are rampant and corrupt police are in power, as almost the only good policeman in the police station, Gordon would not survive without sufficient background.

Although the Gordon family is now lonely, in the era of Gordon's father and his uncle, the Gordon family was also one of the top families in Gotham.

Gordon's father is a good friend of Falcone, and even his father and his uncle are members of the Court of Owls!

What is this concept?

If Gordon chose to go along with the crowd when he was young, he would at least be the chief of the Gotham Police Department, and maybe even the mayor of Gotham.

The reason why he is now just a small deputy sheriff is purely because his ideas run counter to too many vested interests.

As for last night, after visiting Falcone, Gordon and Falcone talked a lot and exchanged information about Downton.

From this, Gordon has already understood some of Downton's abilities.

Death will be randomly teleported and resurrected, and even teleported when captured.

Then how can I catch him?

What's the point of killing him?

Thinking of this, Gordon shook his head helplessly and then said to the sniper.

"Let's pack up and let him go. Send a few people to follow him and get his location information in time.

He may launch an attack on the Dimitrov family next, and he may also participate in the actions in Metropolis.

As for the Dimitrov family, Falcone has sent people into their territory. We have to block their battlefield. Damn it!

As for Metropolis, General Ryan rushed to her daughter last night and prepared a trap for Downton that the military thought was feasible.

If Downton chooses to meet with reporter Ryan in Metropolis, he will be in Metropolis and the military next.

I hope he leaves Gotham. After all, Gotham without him has made me see no hope. If he continues to stay in Gotham, God knows what kind of chaos Gotham will be in!"

Speaking of this, Gordon frowned, and he suddenly thought of something.

He continued to speak in deep thought.

"No, he went to Wayne Manor yesterday.

Although we haven't figured out Downton's attack pattern and criminal principles, the damage he has caused so far is either to the territories of gangsters, or to wealthy people with a certain amount of wealth and relatively high-end stores or banks.

It can be seen that Wayne Manor may also become Downton's target!"

"Wayne Manor!"

Gordon's words startled the other policemen on the helicopter. They really didn't expect this.

After all, in Gotham City, the surname Wayne is the core of everything. Even if Bruce Wayne has just returned to Gotham after seven years, people don't think there will be any problems with the Wayne family.

Because the Wayne family's business model and housekeeper are so amazing!

Now that Gordon reminded them of this, the police immediately showed a look of watching fun.

The police also have a hatred of the rich. They can't wait to see a big family like the Wayne family make a fool of themselves.

If the Wayne family, the richest in Gotham, is blown up by a lawless ghost like Downton.

That would be too exciting!!!

And at this time, in the Wayne Manor mentioned by Gordon...

Alfred brought breakfast and gently pushed open the door of Bruce Wayne's room, and then saw Bruce sitting at the desk writing and drawing.

With his back to the door, even though Alfred was silent, Bruce still said without turning his head.

"Remember to knock next time."

"Indeed, sir, of course I should knock, but the reason I didn't knock is that I don't want to see you awake."

Faced with Bruce's reminder, Alfred smiled bitterly and sent breakfast to Bruce's desk.

While placing tableware for Bruce, Alfred continued.

"Even if I waste a breakfast I carefully prepared, I would rather you sleep a little longer. You didn't come back until four in the morning last night, but it's only eight twenty now.

Bruce, less than four hours of rest time can't make you more active in Gotham's night. No matter what you want to do, at least let your body be able to support your ideas."

"But time waits for no one, Alfred!"

Bruce interrupted Alfred's words, and then showed Alfred what he was drawing.

After noticing the mask that looked like cat ears drawn on the paper, Alfred nodded slightly.

"Is this the mask you wanted? I will break down the design so that I can place an order with suppliers around the world.

However, are you sure you are ready? This time period is much earlier than you originally planned.

Or have you been affected by something else, the ghost who kidnapped the daughter of the Deputy Minister of Defense?

If so, it is not a rational thing to change the plan for a person who suddenly appears, because he can obviously make many mistakes, but we only have one chance, Bruce."

I waited for an afternoon, and as expected, I waited for the ending that was not recommended. I can't test the waters next week. My mentality collapsed.

I tried to stabilize my mentality, and I also asked everyone to follow up and read it. Don't keep it up, it may really kill you.

The starting point now is different from before. All the results of the new book period depend on the follow-up reading. If you don't follow up, you will have nothing. Alas, I am tired.
