Chapter 98: Letting go just like that! [Seventh chapter!!]

Watching him grab Rachel with the same method.

All the viewers in front of the screen initially thought he was going to tell his father’s story again.

But then the story unfolded in a way that exceeded everyone’s expectations.

[Wait... didn't you say the scars on your face were made by your father??]

[How did it change to a different story in the blink of an eye?!]

[Could it be that he’s just making it up on the spot???]

[Damn, I was actually quite sympathetic at first...]

[A brand new version! The Gotham Story King is performing for you online!]

[Amazing!! The acting in this part!! I feel like my scalp is tingling!]

[I can’t describe this feeling! All I can feel is pure madness and wanton evil!]

[Too terrifying, if I were caught... I would definitely beg him to stop talking first....]

[Which story is actually true?!]

[Is it possible that both are fake!]

Watching Su Chen make up a story that seemed so real on the spot!

All the viewers had to doubt the authenticity of both stories!

And Su Chen seemed to have a paranoia about telling stories to people!

And just as Su Chen proudly raised his hand and the dagger moved away from him!

Rachel kicked Su Chen hard in the crotch!

Su Chen immediately took two steps back, clutching his crotch in pain.

Then he smiled and pointed at Rachel, saying.

"You have a fiery personality, I like it!"

But!

Before Su Chen could walk forward.

"Then you’ll definitely love me to death!"

A low voice came from the side!

Everyone, including Su Chen, was stunned!

And then!

Without waiting for Su Chen to react!

A black shadow struck!

A muffled grunt!

Su Chen flew backward!

Batman had appeared before everyone!

Then he engaged in a melee with several other henchmen!

Taking them down almost one by one!

Batman quickly cleared out all the henchmen Su Chen had brought!

And on the side!

Su Chen, having gotten up, saw that things were not looking good and immediately scrambled to the side!

By the time Batman reacted and looked up!

Su Chen had already taken Rachel hostage, holding a gun in one hand!

"Drop the gun!"

Batman warned in an incredibly low voice.

But the latter tightened his grip on Rachel’s neck even more.

"Fine, as long as you take off your mask first! Let everyone see who you are!"

And then.

Without giving anyone a chance to react.

Su Chen pulled the trigger toward the floor-to-ceiling window behind him!

Bang!!

Along with the gunshot!

The entire floor-to-ceiling window shattered!

Outside the window, the strong wind howled in!

Clearly! Beside this window was a bottomless high-altitude drop!

Su Chen immediately pushed Rachel to the edge of the window!

One step further, and she would fall from the high building!

And now!

Half of Rachel’s body had been pushed off the platform! Her balance was maintained entirely by the wrist Su Chen was holding!

The howling night wind blew Rachel’s hair.

Batman in the distance had a gloomy look in his eyes! He warned him angrily.

"Let her go!!"

"Oh... you really don't know how to talk."

Su Chen shook his head with a sigh upon hearing this, his expression very regretful.

Then he released his right hand without hesitation.

Smiling brightly, he retreated unhurriedly.

"Hahahaha!!"

Clearly.

Su Chen was not worried that Batman would ignore Rachel falling to her death to come and capture him! He laughed and retreated slowly!

And the next second!

Batman did exactly as Su Chen had predicted!

He rushed to the window in two or three steps, leaped out, and lunged toward Rachel’s falling figure!

Amidst the screams!

Batman finally caught Rachel’s hand in mid-air!

And below! Was a drop of hundreds of meters!

At this moment!

All the viewers’ hearts couldn't help but tremble!

However, what surprised everyone was!

As Batman’s cape unfolded behind him!

The speed at which the two were falling slowed down visibly to the naked eye!

Bang!!

With a loud noise!

The two landed on the roof of a taxi!

With Batman acting as a cushion for the fall, Rachel was actually unharmed!

This scene shocked the viewers in the live broadcast room quite a bit.

They were once again shocked by the high technology Batman possessed!

[Holy crap.... she’s okay after that?!]

[What kind of cape is that?? Give me one too, please...]

[I thought for sure someone would sacrifice themselves today...]

[This is the protagonist of a superhero movie! No need to worry about them dying at all!]

[The Joker is a bit too decisive... I thought he would still hold Rachel hostage!]

[Batman said let go, so I let go!]

[Good thing Batman was at the banquet this time... otherwise it would have been too late to save Rachel or Harvey!]

[Wait... can this be considered the first direct confrontation between the Joker and Batman?!]

[Although it looks like Batman repelled the Joker, in reality... the judge and the commissioner have already been taken out...]

I’m going all out today!! Aiming for twenty chapters!! A minimum of forty thousand words!!!

The next day.

In Batman’s secret base.

Several large screens were constantly playing surveillance footage and images of Su Chen.

Batman and the butler were studying the Joker together.

Clearly.

Batman was very concerned about the Joker this time.

He was even the number one target!

Batman watched the surveillance while saying in a deep voice.

"I know the gangs won't surrender, but they crossed the line this time!"

"You crossed the line first, sir."

The butler reminded him from the side.

"You pushed them to the edge."

"So in their desperation, they found someone they didn't even understand to help them."

Facing the butler’s statement.

Wayne didn't care, turned off the screen, and walked toward the back.

"Criminals aren't complicated, you just need to know what they want."

Clearly.

Batman was very confident about dealing with the Joker at this time.

And this confidence stemmed from the experience he had accumulated over 14 years of fighting criminals and villains!

As he spoke, Wayne walked toward his Bat-armor in the distance.

But... unexpectedly.

The butler did not agree with this statement and refuted it without hesitation.

"With all due respect, Master Wayne, I’m afraid you don't understand this man either..."

"A long time ago, when I was in Burma, my friends and I were working for the local authorities."

"They tried to bribe the tribal leader with precious gemstones."

"As a result, the official convoy was attacked by a bandit in the northern jungle!"

"So we had to go and get those precious gemstones back, but after half a year of investigation, that bandit hadn't traded with anyone!"

"One day, I saw a child playing with a ruby the size of an orange."

"It turned out that the bandit had thrown away all the gemstones."

Hearing this.

Even Batman, who had fought countless criminals, frowned.

He couldn't figure out why the bandit in the story would do that, so he asked.

"Then why did he steal the gemstones?"

"Because he thought it was fun."

Alfred the butler replied in a deep voice, giving an answer that no one expected!

And at this moment, along with the butler’s description, the camera turned to the screen in the distance, where the Joker’s videotape was playing!

"Some people don't want things like money that fit normal human logic!"

"You can't bribe or threaten him, let alone reason with him or try to negotiate!"

"Some people just want to see the world fall into chaos!"

After finishing.

The butler walked to the side, leaving Batman Wayne to think quietly.

And looking at the crazed Joker on the screen from afar.

Wayne was thoughtful.

And that night.

Just as Su Chen said in the videotape!

He did what he said he would!

As long as Batman didn't turn himself in for one day, didn't reveal his identity.

People in Gotham City would die because of it!

And today’s death report came quickly!

After receiving the Joker’s message, the police quickly rushed to an apartment.

And in the apartment.

There were only two corpses slumped over the dining table.

Their faces were all painted with the Joker’s makeup, and they were holding a deck of playing cards.

The entire scene had been set up to look like two Jokers drinking and playing cards!

And the first and last names of the two deceased were put together.

It was exactly the name of the new District Attorney, Harvey Dent!

Inside the apartment.

Batman appeared silently.

The commissioner and the officers were already used to this.

But this case.

The female detective clearly had some objections to Batman.

She even directly blamed Batman.

It was because Batman didn't turn himself in that the two were killed by the Joker!

Facing the female detective’s accusation, although Batman felt the pressure and inner blame.

He still investigated the scene in silence, trying to find the traces left by Su Chen.

And on the side.

The commissioner found a newspaper.

It seemed to indicate Su Chen’s next assassination target!

On the newspaper was the Mayor’s photo!

And the content of the newspaper was that the Mayor would hold an obituary parade tomorrow for the people who had died, including the judge and the commissioner!

Presumably, tomorrow would be the time for the Joker to make a move on the Mayor!

In Batman’s secret base!

Wayne and the butler used high technology that surpassed the police and even the world to analyze a brick brought back from the apartment! On it were the bullet marks caused by the Joker’s shooting!

Through high technology.

Wayne quickly organized the bullet fragments fired by the Joker!

And successfully pieced together a thumbprint sample from these fragments!

And through these samples.

He directly locked onto four highly similar fingerprint databases!

At this point!

Wayne was almost about to completely drag the Joker out!

And seeing this!

All the viewers were shocked!

No one expected Batman’s high technology to be this advanced!

Finding the fingerprints left on the bullets by the Joker when he was loading them through the bullet holes in the wall!!

This... almost symbolized that the Joker’s identity was completely exposed in Batman’s eyes!

There was no room for maneuver!

Now, the Joker was in the light, and Batman was in the dark!

[Holy crap...... is this even possible?!]

[This technology is too terrifying! As expected of Wayne Enterprises...]

[This is the power brought by top-tier wealth!]

[Not only is the equipment incredibly advanced and excellent, but even the means and methods of finding clues are beyond everyone’s imagination!]
