Jason crept through the door quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, congrats on the mission,\" A smooth female voice chimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe sat on the couch, legs crossed, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jason patted his chest, steadying himself. \"Chloe, can you not fucking startle me like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Startle?\" Chloe tilted her head, confused, like her greeting was perfectly normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This human supercomputer didn’t eat or sleep, could work anywhere, yet somehow got attached to the living room couch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting, lying, sprawling—she was always there, scaring the shit out of Jason when he came back at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, since Chloe’s presence kept Harley and Christine safe, he didn’t stop her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too lazy to explain, Jason pushed open the master bedroom door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cool air hit him. On the massive 2.5-meter bed, Harley and Christine slept soundly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched for a moment, not wanting to disturb them, and softly closed the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the living room corner, he grabbed a cold beer from the fridge, bit off the cap, and sank into the couch, chugging hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chloe, anything weird online?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe handled the Joker Organization’s network, comms, and security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never resting, she monitored global networks 24\u002F7.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If something went down—like a country launching a missile at the Joker Organization—she’d alert Jason instantly and hack the missile’s guidance, sending it off course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a quick scan, Chloe said, \"All clear. I scrubbed every drone clip of you and the crew.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jason nodded. With Chloe’s computing power, the Joker Organization ran like a well-oiled machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking another swig, he asked, \"How’s the crew’s mission progress?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Months ago, the shitty system updated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No more villain points for random crimes—now you had to complete system-assigned tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tasks dropped daily, random in number and difficulty. After completion, the system scored you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Higher completion scores meant more villain points; lower scores, less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jason was pissed at first—no more racking up points through kills—but the system threw him a bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, he and his inner circle had to do the dirty work for points. Now, anyone could complete tasks, and he’d still get the points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This freed Jason and his crew to mobilize thousands of Joker Organization grunts to grind tasks for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High-difficulty tasks still needed Jason or his lieutenants, like the refinery job he just pulled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe finished her scan. \"David’s done—back in New York in two days. John’s task wraps in two days. Franklin’s just started, but his powers match it perfectly; he’ll be done in a day...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jason was pleased. With his lieutenants leading elite teams, tasks were getting crushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How’s the Joker Community? Anything valuable?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six months back, Chloe built a private network for the Joker Organization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now live, the \"Joker Community\" was a social platform for criminals worldwide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Users could speak freely, no fear of government tracking, thanks to Chloe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Got a rep as a killer? Share tips, charge newbies to read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The neighbor bought a pricey necklace? Post it, earn an intel fee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Low payout for small tips, but if they’re gone for weeks? Jackpot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Need muscle for a big job? Post it. Like: *Robbing the Federal Reserve next month. Got three, need a hacker and shooter. Big split. Send résumé.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Joker Community thawed the criminal underworld’s winter, bringing spring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crooks found like-minded pals, bought dream guns, and some niche players made bank they’d never see otherwise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The platform’s daily activity was insane—hundreds of thousands of posts. Chloe could scan them in seconds, using algorithms to pull valuable intel for Jason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond admin, she was his personal info butler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Tony Stark’s Jarvis, but smarter, stronger—a product of fifty years’ advancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A second later, Chloe said, \"Since last check, 73,467 new posts. Nothing valuable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jason snorted.Seventy fucking thousand posts, and nothing useful? Were they treating the community like a chatroom?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chugged the rest of his beer and stood, heading for the study to crash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, need me to tuck you in?\" Chloe teased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut it, Chloe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next noon, Jason woke naturally and flicked on the system interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding!
