Chapter 106
Bang!!
As Batman kicked open the warehouse door!
What followed.
Was Harvey’s wail!
"No! No!!"
"Why is it me?! Why did you come to save me!!"
On the floor, Harvey, who had fallen into the gasoline, painfully questioned Batman loudly.
And on the other end of the phone.
A look of shock appeared on Rachel’s face.
She had been certain.
That Batman, or Bruce Wayne, would definitely come to save her...
But now... the other man had appeared at Harvey’s location!
In an instant.
Countless thoughts flashed through Rachel’s mind! But in the end, they all turned into despair!
And on the other side!
Even more desperate than Rachel.
Was Batman, standing at the door.
He should have gone in decisively to save the person.
But at this moment, he was stunned for a second.
From the beginning... he had decided to save Rachel! There had never been a possibility of Harvey!
But he didn't expect...
That the Joker, who had been telling the truth from start to finish in the interrogation room.
Had lied to him without changing his expression at the very end.
He had chosen Rachel.
But he had arrived at Harvey’s address..
This was all a calculated scheme, an attack on his heart!
Even if he rescued Harvey.
Being on the phone, witnessing his lover die because he was rescued.
From now on, the White Knight would likely no longer exist!
No matter what Batman chose.
The White Knight would be erased!
Rachel would also become a blade piercing his heart!
And at this moment.
On the other side!
Even though the police had already arrived at the perimeter of the warehouse!
But with the sound of an explosion!
Rachel, who hadn't been chosen, instantly vanished into the flames!
And although he was devastated.
Batman still used his instincts to rescue Harvey from the explosion site!
It was just that there was a slip-up after all.
The burning flames leaped onto Harvey’s face! Igniting the gasoline that had stained his face!
In an instant!
The White Knight who guarded all of Gotham City rolled in agony as he was consumed by the flames!
At this moment.
Batman tasted unprecedented despair!
[Holy crap.... this... is too desperate, isn't it??]
[The address the Joker gave... was actually reversed?!]
[That’s the only way to cause Batman the maximum amount of pain!]
[He chose Rachel from the start! I didn't expect the Joker to lie!]
[Isn't it normal for a villain to lie!]
[Seeing this, I really feel a bit sorry for Batman.. to have such a smart lunatic as an opponent...]
[A lunatic is a lunatic because they have no scruples and no weaknesses!]
[I’m afraid Rachel’s death will also completely destroy the White Knight!]
[The police have really failed completely this time! All previous achievements have vanished into thin air!]
[The gang crackdown was for nothing, and the only witness, Lau, has been kidnapped.]
[The prosecutor is ruined, Rachel is dead, and the Joker has escaped.]
In the livestream.
Almost all the viewers could feel the despair of Batman and the police in the show.
Outside the warehouse, Gordon walked aimlessly, looking gray.
And behind him.
An officer called out to him.
"Commissioner!!!"
"The Joker has escaped from the Major Crimes Unit!"
In just an instant.
Gordon also completely broke down, thinking of something, and asked:
"Did they take Lau too?!"
And the affirmative answer made his face look even worse!
Panting heavily.
He understood everything!
On the streets of Gotham City.
Several police cars sped past!
And in one of them.
The Joker sat in the back seat, recklessly leaning his upper body out of the car window, shaking his hair in the wild wind.
In the Gotham City night, under the reflection of neon lights.
Freedom, passion, madness, ultimate indulgence!
The Joker enjoyed it all.
This time, he had won almost everything!
He arrived smoothly at the warehouse Lau had mentioned.
The gang boss and drug dealer also rushed over.
In front of them.
Was a mountain of stacks of US dollars!
Wealth that made the drug dealer’s heart race!
It was also wealth that would make anyone in the world’s heart race! Except for the Joker.
On top of the money.
Lau was tied up and thrown on top of the pile, his mouth gagged, struggling hard to say something.
But he could only be hit from below by Su Chen with rolls of cash.
Seeing this, the drug dealer stepped forward and asked:
"Joker, how are you going to use your share of the money?"
He was too eager to split the money.
Their savings from all these years had almost been run off with by Lau, which had made him feel a great crisis!
After getting it back, naturally, he couldn't wait even a minute!
"—I’m a man of simple tastes."
Su Chen turned back, thinking for a moment.
"I like... dynamite and..."
"Gunpowder!"
"And gasoline!"
After saying this!
A henchman suddenly appeared holding a crate of gasoline!
And poured it all over the mountain of money!
In the blink of an eye, countless bundles of dollars were soaked!
Instantly!
The drug dealer’s heart sank! As if he had guessed something!
He immediately stepped forward, excitedly trying to stop the Joker.
"What are you doing?!"
But the next second.
The dark muzzle of a gun made him stop in his tracks!
In front of the screen!
Countless viewers watched the Joker’s henchmen’s actions in disbelief.
They had guessed for a long time, but just didn't dare to confirm that thought!
Pouring gasoline on this mountain of money... don't tell me... they want to burn this pile of money?!
This mountain of US dollars... I’m afraid there’s at least billions of it!!!
I’m afraid this is wealth that even Batman would take notice of!
"Do you know what these things have in common?"
Su Chen pointed his gun at the billions in illicit funds, asking the drug dealer.
"They’re all very cheap!"
Su Chen’s face was full of disdain, using the word "cheap" to describe this massive wealth that could almost buy any skyscraper!!
