Chapter 766: Cat Getan Spring Breeze (Part 3)
In the Gode manor, Lady Gode was nervously waiting for news.
Her plan was simple: since she wanted to cover up the unspeakable things she had done, she just needed to kill everyone who had handled the matter. This was also a very standard Cat Getan mindset—only the dead would keep secrets forever.
But now, it wasn't easy to find hitmen in Cat Getan.
After all, the logistics industry needed people so badly that those who used to be hitmen had all been snatched up by gangs to work. If she used hitmen used by other gang bosses, Lady Gode felt uneasy, fearing it might leave a trail. As for those from out of town, they were even less worth mentioning; they weren't professional enough. After thinking it over, Lady Gode locked onto one person.

She had long heard that a Joker truck driver had emerged in Cat Getan, specializing in manufacturing various explosions and killing quite a few people. In Lady Gode's view, if there was no benefit, why kill? Therefore, this Joker truck driver must also be a hitman who made such a big scene to build his own reputation. It wasn't as if that hadn't happened before.
Since that was the case, it would be better to let him go. Even if she had to pay a little more, it would be worth it for peace of mind.
After arranging everything, Lady Gode breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that after tonight, everything would get better.
Cat Getan's night was always dark and deep, appearing very terrifying. The lights at the docks couldn't make the night here appear warm.
In a place some distance from the docks, there were many strange machines, and their control rooms were also lit. Sometimes, busy dock workers would stop and look up at these machines.
They all knew that the workers who worked here had much higher wages than them, and even the security guards were much more relaxed than them.
Perhaps it was the overly relaxed work and overly high wages that made the security guards here somewhat slack. They just curled up in the security booth to sleep, while outside the booth, the words on the gate, under the reflection of the dim lights, appeared somewhat blurry. It read "Gode Shipyard."
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared outside the security room, flipped in with nimble movements, and silently took out the security guard.
Several other black shadows "whooshed" into the shipyard, followed the courtyard all the way into the building, and began to rummage around.
From their attire, it was hard to tell who they were, but when they caught an employee, they revealed their identity.
"Federal Bureau of Investigation! Please cooperate with the investigation! Where is the data storage room? Where are the important bills and design blueprints kept?"
"F-Federal Bureau of Investigation?" the employee said in terror, "I didn't do anything! I've only been on the job for two months!"
Such an attitude aroused the suspicion of the person opposite him. He said, "You didn't do anything? Does that mean someone else did? Where is the data storage room? Take us there!"
"Okay, I'll take you there right now, just don't kill me!"
When this employee turned around, the agent who had him in a chokehold didn't see that, beneath his lowered hat brim, he revealed a crazy smile.
A few minutes later, a figure wearing work clothes and a hat appeared outside the shipyard, leaning relaxedly against the shipyard's sign, right against the word "Gode."
He was fiddling with a remote control in his hand. Just as he straightened his body and took two steps forward, a huge flame erupted from the shipyard behind him. With a loud "Boom," countless fragments flew everywhere.
The entire sea surface was illuminated by the fire of the explosion, and that small figure disappeared into Cat Getan's night. Accompanying his departure was a series of crazy laughter.
With a light "Clatter," the phone receiver in Lady Gode's hand fell to the floor. She opened her eyes in disbelief, wore a ferocious expression, and let out a piercing scream.
Suddenly, her face turned pale, and she clutched her chest and fell down, twitching twice on the floor before becoming still.
Leon, who had just walked into the manor, found Lady Gode unconscious, immediately ran up, lifted her onto the sofa, and then wiped his face, letting out a painful hiss.
There were three scars left on his face, as if scratched by a cat. At this moment, blood covered half of his face, even staining the right side of his collar red. Judging by the shape of the marks, it should have been done by some feline animal. Clearly, his communication with Catwoman had not gone smoothly.
The pain made Leon somewhat delirious. The smell of blood kept rushing into his nose. Thinking that he might have been disfigured, his anger burned even hotter.
After a while, Lady Gode slowly woke up. She let out a desperate cry, unable to even say a complete sentence.
The route Leon took back was far from the seaside, so he didn't see the fire of the explosion. He didn't know what had happened, only feeling very annoyed. He said, "What on earth are you crying about?? Now that there's no progress, isn't that your problem?!"
"You only care about that broken shipyard of yours! If you hadn't been so stingy, our plan would have succeeded long ago!"
Hearing the word "shipyard," Lady Gode jumped off the sofa like a madwoman. She grabbed Leon's neck tightly and said, "It's all your fault! It's all your fault! The Gode family's guarantee for survival is gone!
"
"If it weren't for you, if it weren't for you making me make those contraband items, those damn weapons, how could the Gode family's shipyard, how could it..."
Lady Gode's long, sharp fingernails embedded themselves into Leon's neck. This pain further stimulated him. He roared and pushed Lady Gode away, yelling, "You damn fool! Because of your hesitation, I've just been disfigured. How am I supposed to return to the West Coast?!
"
Lady Gode scrambled to the coffee table, picked up a vase, and threw it at Leon. But because she was too thin and lacked strength, the vase didn't hit Leon but shattered beside him.
Leon, having narrowly escaped danger, went completely mad. He grabbed the part of the vase that hadn't completely shattered, rushed toward Lady Gode, and used the sharp, broken edge at the bottom of the neck to slash Lady Gode's neck.
Instantly, blood splattered. Leon, in his madness, kept attacking Lady Gode's head and neck with the vase neck until it became a bloody mess.
Outside the window, Cat Getan's rain fell harder and harder. The rain was fair to everyone. Every night here, every rain, could add a fuel of madness to the soul. The lambs trapped in it without knowing it would eventually become sacrifices swallowed by the darkness.
Many pairs of rain boots stepped through the rain, and the black clothes were reflected in the puddles, plated with a layer of silver-gray light. When Falcone's men rushed into the Gode manor, only a corpse and a mad man remained.
Leon had lost his mind and thought these were the Gode family's bodyguards, so he howled and rushed up, wanting to attack. However, the hitmen under Falcone were not weak noblewomen. Seeing Leon rush up, the leader pulled out a gun.
With a "Bang," the whole world returned to silence, save for the pattering rain. As for why Falcone's men came here, it started with the shipyard explosion.
After receiving Catwoman's report, the CIA wanted to investigate the Gode family immediately. The only problem was that the Gode family was in Cat Getan, and they had failed in Cat Getan several times before.
But before, they had sent many people together, driving into Cat Getan openly and finding a place to stay, just like going to other cities. Anyway, they were all under the name of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, so naturally, they could investigate openly.
But after many failures, they adjusted their strategy, no longer entering the city so high-profile, but sneaking in at night.
In such a big city, not all gangs focused on strangers. They got in very smoothly, but to avoid attracting attention, they planned to investigate secretly first, and the first location to investigate was the Gode family's shipyard.
Very unfortunately, Lady Gode, who dared to hire the Joker, gave the car accident location right at the gate of the shipyard.
Not to mention what Lady Gode was thinking when she felt the Joker had really taken this order, but anyway, as a hitman, the Joker's efficiency was very high. Once he made a move, there were no living things within a few kilometers.
The CIA agents investigating at the shipyard were unlucky and were wiped out in the shipyard.
And the CIA had learned from previous lessons, giving each of them a black box that would send the footage before death back to headquarters before being destroyed.
Headquarters saw the record of this incident and immediately became suspicious.
If they had really found something, that would be one thing, but before they even investigated, everyone was killed. Doesn't this show that the Gode family was very guilty? It was even possible that this was a trap set by the country across the sea against the CIA.
Originally, the CIA wasn't very concerned about this matter because there was more important work to do, but now, the priority of this matter had been raised to the highest level.
But if they were to send more people to investigate, they might disappear silently like before. This time, the CIA learned to be smart and prepared to find a stable partner. Who could be a better partner than the Godfather, Falcone?
Falcone actually didn't want to cooperate with the CIA, but he had also noticed some small movements of the Gode family. After all, to make some heavy weapon parts, the raw materials would definitely pass through many hands during transportation, and it was hard to avoid being noticed.
Falcone also wanted to know what the Gode family wanted to do, so he sent hitmen to investigate the Gode family. But he didn't expect that Lady Gode would die, the fat man Leon would go mad, and in the end, nothing would be left.
Of course, Miss Gode was still alive, but Miss Gode was currently studying at Cat Getan University, and Cat Getan University was that professor's territory.
Falcone thought for a while and decided to start the investigation from the Gode manor. Anyway, there was no one left in the Gode family, and the entire Gode manor was in an undefended state.
Because of this, they could check carefully, and that secret compartment didn't escape the sharp eyes of professionals. Thus, the warehouse of collectibles hidden by Lady Gode was displayed before the CIA.
The bad news in the good news was that there were indeed seven Soviet Hero medals here. The good news in the bad news was that there was also a Nazi medal, and it was the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Golden Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds, the highest level of Nazi military medal.
On this very night, Cat Getan's last biting spring breeze blew across the entire city.
And outside Cat Getan City, at the top of the highest mountain peak, a burly, mysterious black shadow overlooked the city like a monarch looking down from above.
He discovered that there were several locations in this city that were different. The one with the best strategic position was Wayne Tower, the quietest and most peaceful was Cat Getan University, and the most unique was a cave base in the mountains on the other side.
Then, his low voice sounded:
"Go, go and scout these locations for me... Mirror Master." ===== CHAPTER 767 =====
