Originally, Joker thought that,
Before Batman killed him, only Bat Boy could live up to his expectations.
But now he realized that —
He was wrong!
Very wrong!
Only Bat Boy could live up to his expectations?
Bah!
It should be that only Yi Su (the delicacies) in the world could not be let down, okay?
Batman: "…???"
Before eating Issou's money cake, Joker thought that Issou had done something.
Let his Bat Boy have a cat outside.
But after eating Issou's money cake, Joker felt that it was clearly Batman who was "half-hearted".
What did it have to do with Issou's Sweethearts?
Batman: "…???"
Before eating Issou's money cake,
The clown intended to give Yz some face so that she could take a look.
He wanted to let him know what would happen to his Bat Boy.
But after eating Issou's money cake, Joker felt that he should teach Batman a lesson. He must let him deeply understand that people who eat alone will not have a good ending.
Batman: "…???"
Bruce, who had no idea that Joker had lost his mind after eating a mouthful of the money cake, changed his disguise.
When he returned to the banquet hall as Batman, he saw Joker standing in front of Issou with a particularly well-behaved smile.
Although he didn't know why Joker suddenly changed his demeanor,
Batman didn't forget who he was. It was impossible to tell if he was joking or not. Even if he was smiling at you now, he might stab you in the heart in the next second.
What's more, there must be something wrong.
Although Batman had risked his life to offend the man standing at the top of the Wayne family's food chain — Alfred for a mouthful of Money Cake today, Alfred was still alive.
Logically speaking, he should understand why Joker suddenly changed his demeanor.
But he didn't expect that Joker, who was bent on getting even with Issou, would eat snacks midway.
So when he saw Joker standing in front of Issou, no matter how well-behaved he was, Batman didn't let his guard down.
Under the helmet, he couldn't help but frown.
He stepped forward.
After getting close to Joker, he reached out and grabbed his neck.
Batman, who had launched a sneak attack on the Joker from behind, succeeded in one hit. After pulling the Joker down, he quickly raised his foot and kicked away the mercenaries who rushed up to attack. He broke the assault rifles in their hands with his bare hands, and then directly knocked them out one by one with the butt of the rifle.
After taking care of these mercenaries, Batman approached Issou and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"
He glanced at the black-haired girl next to him and noticed that her face was a little pale because of excessive shock. A trace of guilt flashed through his blue eyes behind the helmet.
Just like what he said before, he didn't want to tell Yi Su the whole thing. Even if he did, it wouldn't do anything other than frighten her and frighten her.
So Batman's plan was to use Issou as bait and not tell her about the whole thing. The best outcome was to capture Joker and bring him back to Arkham Asylum without Issou knowing.
Even if it didn't work out, he didn't want Joker to find Issou. But things didn't develop in the direction Batman and the others expected …
Thinking of this, Batman pursed his lips and looked at Issou apologetically —
He never thought that his approach would bring harm to her.
Bruce did have a good impression of Issou, although part of the reason was because of the black-haired girl's cooking skills. After all, Bruce still vividly remembered the taste of his first bite at "My Chinese Restaurant".
But a bigger reason was because of Issou. Bruce felt that Issou was like the Chinese food she made. She had the magic to drive away all negative emotions, and people couldn't help but want to get close to her.
This had nothing to do with romantic feelings, it was purely because of Issou's personal charm.
It was for this reason that Bruce had mixed feelings when he found out that Issou was targeted by Joker because of him.
Bruce didn't regret knowing Issou, but he was worried that she would be hurt because of him.
When Issou heard Batman's words, he subconsciously looked up at him. Probably because of the voice changer, Batman's voice didn't have a trace of the sexy and low tone he usually had when he was Bruce Weyne.
Issou: "…"
No wonder Tony dared to blatantly spread rumors that Batman had throat cancer.
It was not only because Batman couldn't come out to clarify, but also because even if he came out to clarify, it wouldn't have any effect.
After all, Batman used a voice changer …
It did seem like he had throat cancer.
Issou responded, "It's okay."
In fact, she was more confused than shocked. After all —
Joker actually asked her if she wanted to try liking him!!
Issou: "…"
No way.
Who gave this big shot the confidence that she would have the guts to like him?
When Batman heard Issou's answer, he nodded and put away the complicated emotions in his heart. He then turned his gaze to Joker. Joker, who had just been dragged to the ground by him, was now up from the ground.
Batman looked at him and said in a deep voice, "Joker, you don't have a chance."
Batman, who didn't know what happened, said this sentence because Joker wanted to settle accounts with Issou. However, after eating the money cake, Joker, who was destined to have a different brain circuit from Batman, was about to explode.
"What right do you have to say that I don't have a chance?"
Joker pointed at Batman and said, "Didn't you know Issou's Sweethearts before me? So what? She doesn't like you. "
Batman: "…???"
Joker's words made Batman dumbfounded on the spot. His mind was filled with thoughts —
Issou doesn't like me?
Uh.
Wait a minute.
If it weren't for Batman's strong will, he would have been taken away by Joker. What did what they were talking about have to do with who Issou liked?
Joker didn't know Batman's confusion. After retorting, he turned to look at Issou and said, "Sweethearts, since you just said that you don't like Batman, then you don't have to use his words as a reference."
Issou: "…"
Without Batman's words, she wouldn't have the guts to like him, okay?
The black-haired girl muttered in her heart, and then she heard Joker continue to ask, "So, Issou, what do you think? Do you want to try liking me? "
Issou: "…"
She originally thought that when Joker asked her if she didn't like Batman, it was a fatal question, but it turned out —
She was really too stupid and naive.
It was Joker who asked her expectantly if she wanted to try liking him. That was the real fatal question, okay?
Should she say that she wanted to try liking him?
Issou: "…"
No bragging.
She couldn't convince herself to say that at all.
Not to try liking him?
Issou: "…"
No bragging.
This big shot could put a bomb on her at any moment and blow her up.
Fortunately, after Joker asked that question, Batman came to her rescue. Before she could answer this fatal question, he said to Joker, "What do you want to play? Joker. "
Batman was not Issou, but he also knew that no matter how she answered Joker's question, it would be wrong.
Since that was the case, he might as well not let her answer.
"Who the f * ck has the time to play with you?"
When he heard Batman's words, Joker wanted to roll his eyes. If it was any other time, he would be very happy to play with his Batboy.
After all, he stayed in Gotham for so long, was caught and sent to Arkham Asylum time and time again, and escaped from Arkham Asylum time and time again. What was the reason?
Of course, it was to play with his Batboy.
It could be said that Joker thought that as long as he was not killed by Batman, his interest in him would not stop. But now it was different —
If Joker bombed Gotham in the past to let Batman play with him, then if Batman wanted to play with him now, he would bomb Gotham at any time.
Gotham: "…???"
What grudge?!
"This is between me and Issou."
The Joker's current attitude toward Batman was a perfect example of what it meant to like the new and hate the old, what it meant to change one's mind at the sight of a beautiful girl, and what it meant to forget one's wife at home. He said to Batman, "As the great Batman, you don't care if other people commit murder, arson, rape, or pillage. Don't tell me you also care if other people confess to you?"
When he heard Joker's nonsense, Batman sneered, "Confession of love? Joker, didn't you show up in such a big way tonight to deal with Issou? "
"Don't slander me!"
When he heard Batman's words, Joker opened his mouth and said, "Don't think that you can slander others just because you're Batman. When did I say that I wanted to deal with Issou?"
As he said that, Joker turned to look at Issou and said to her as if she had been wronged, "Sweethearts, don't listen to that old bat's nonsense. I never wanted to deal with you."
When she heard Joker's words, the corners of Issou's mouth twitched. Yes, he had lost his mind, but she had not lost her memory, okay?
Even though Gold Coin Cake saved her life later, the black-haired girl did not forget the shock she felt when Joker appeared and looked for her, as well as when he stood in front of her as if he was the mistress.
Even now that Joker had changed his attitude towards her and Batman had appeared, Issou's face, which had turned pale due to excessive shock, had not yet returned to normal.
Not only Issou, but even Batman's face under the helmet flashed with a hint of speechlessness when he heard Joker's words. However, he understood why Joker's attitude suddenly changed, because —
He had already seen the almost empty snack box.
Considering that Issou's food always had its own magic, Batman felt that it was normal for Joker to suddenly change his attitude, so he did not dwell on this matter anymore and directly attacked Joker.
When the sirens sounded outside, Joker was subdued by Batman.
Of course, if Joker wanted to escape, it was not impossible. After all, he had successfully escaped from Batman's eyes many times.
But this time, Issou was here.
So Joker did not want to escape at all. He wanted to kill Batman, the third wheel, and then have a good talk with his Issou Sweethearts about life and whether she wanted to try liking him.
Yes! Yes!
He did not talk about life with Issou, nor did he talk to Issou about whether she wanted to try liking him. He was held down by Batman just like that.
"Sweethearts, wait for me."
Even though Joker was subdued by Batman, he still did not look embarrassed when facing Issou. He smiled brightly, "When we meet next time, we'll have a good talk about whether you want to try liking me."
Issou, "…!!!"
Was this big shot trying to intimidate her?
Joker, "…???"
Did Sweethearts misunderstand his sincere confession?
#
After Batman handed Joker over to Gotham City Police Chief James Gordon, he looked back at the banquet hall, which seemed to be filled with a sense of relief. Then, in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the darkness and disappeared in front of everyone.
"Issou, how are you?"
Bari, whose legs were originally bound by an invisible force, had now recovered. He walked to Issou's side with a look of self-blame on his face. He said, "I'm sorry, I didn't protect you just now."
According to the normal development, he should have been the one protecting Issou. In the end, not only did he fail to protect Issou, but Issou had to protect him instead.
Just now, not only did Issou catch the main point of Joker's words, but Bari also understood what he meant.
Putting aside the fact that if Issou did not stand up, he would still be found by Joker in the end. Before things got to the worst point, she stood up to protect him, even though her face was pale with fear.
To be honest, like most superheroes who did not want to show their faces, he did not want his identity to be made public. The reason was simple —
Because the identity of The Flash would make Bari Allen's life a mess.
But at that moment, Barry didn't even think about what would happen to him if his identity was exposed by the Clown. His mind was filled with thoughts of — — — -
Would Issou get hurt?
Bari did not know Joker as well as Bruce did, but from the fact that Bruce often visited "My Chinese Restaurant" and targeted Issou, and even after running out of Arkham Asylum, he did not "play" with Batman. Instead, he planned to blow up her Chinese Restaurant, one thing was certain —
Joker did not have a good impression of Issou.
Therefore, Bari did not dare to imagine what Joker would do to Issou without the box of money cakes.
"You didn't do it on purpose."
Issou heard Bari's words, shook his head at him, and then asked, "Is your leg okay now?"
"Yeah, it's okay."
Bari's legs seemed to be inexplicably locked, and then inexplicably unlocked. Until now, he still did not understand what was going on.
But it didn't matter. Fortunately, Joker had been caught, so whether it was why his legs were suddenly locked, or how Joker swaggered into the banquet hall with his men, they had a way to find out.
What?
You said that the Clown is not an ordinary criminal. If he is not willing, it will not be easy to pry open his mouth.
…
…
…
That was true, but …
Who said they were going to pry open Joker's mouth? After all, ever since they met Wonder Woman, Diana, it was popular for them to use condoms instead of prying.
Just as they were thinking about her, Diana appeared. When this Wonder Woman, who had just rushed over from Paradise Island, walked into the banquet hall, she found that it was not lively inside. Instead, the relevant staff were arranging for the guests to be evacuated.
Diana hurriedly glanced at the situation in the banquet hall, then raised her foot and walked toward Issou and the others, "Issou, Bari."
After she greeted them, she noticed the black-haired girl's expression and asked, "Issou, are you okay? Did something happen? "
Because Diana had been back to Paradise Island for a while, Bruce and the others did not specifically inform her about Joker targeting Issou.
If Diana had not suddenly contacted Issou, she would not have rushed over to attend the banquet tonight. Well, it was mainly because Issou was also attending.
But this Wonder Woman did not expect that she would miss out on a lot of things just by being a little late.
Yeah.
At this time, Diana still did not know that she had missed out on a lot of things.
"I'm fine."
Issou shook his head at Diana, then said to her, "Joker just appeared."
Hearing the black-haired girl's words, Diana's face showed a look of realization, then she said, "Issou, you met Joker on the first day you came to Gotham. I think it will be very difficult for Bruce to invite you to Gotham to be the head chef."
This Wonder Woman knew that Bruce had always wanted Issou to come to Gotham, and she also knew that Issou had always rejected Bruce. After this incident, Diana thought that Issou's heart to reject Bruce's proposal was probably even more determined.
Just as Diana finished speaking, she saw Alfreid walking towards them, he said, "I'm sorry that you encountered this at the banquet tonight, especially Miss Issou. You must have been frightened."
As he spoke, Alfreid shook off the blanket hanging on his arm and put it on Issou.
"Thank you, Ah Fu."
When Issou watched dramas in the past, she did not understand why the medical staff would cover someone with a blanket, but now she knew —
Not only did it keep people warm, but it also gave them a sense of security.
"This is what I should do, Miss Issou."
As one of the insiders, Alfreid did not expect things to develop to this point. In any case, even if things did not reach the worst point, there was nothing to be happy about.
He looked at the black-haired girl, then said, "After all, it was our mistake that caused you to be frightened. Fortunately, you were not injured, or else …"
Before Alfreid could finish his words, Issou interrupted him, she said, "Ah Fu, this has nothing to do with you, besides …"
The black-haired girl deliberately paused for a moment, then curled her lips and smiled at him, "If you really feel bad, why don't you make me some more cookies? I'll eat them. "
"That would be my pleasure."
Although today was the first day that Alfreid met Issou, he had already heard of her famous name.
After all, even Joker could find out that the reason Bruce often went to New York was because of Issou. As Bruce's closest person, how could Alfreid not know?
Alfreid saw that Bruce's mood was much more relaxed than usual every time he came back from "my Chinese restaurant" after eating, and while Alfreid had a good impression of Issou, he was also a little curious about her.
It was not until today that he saw Issou in person and tasted her food that he deeply understood how Bruce felt.
Issou was indeed a very likable girl, just like the food she made, it had an irresistible charm.
Just like now —
Issou's face was pale from fright, but she still deliberately said some witty words to comfort him.
How could a girl like this not be likable?
In fact, Issou said this because she really felt that the whole thing had nothing to do with Alfreid. Even if she really wanted to blame someone, she should blame the two culprits — —
Bari and Bruce.
When she was facing Joker just now, she did not have time to delve into these questions, but the crisis regarding Joker was (temporarily) over, and her brain had gradually recovered, so the black-haired girl had time and reason to delve into the questions that had just surfaced in her mind.
However, before Issou could ask those questions, she was stunned by a question from Bruce, who had been waiting in the car for a long time.
He asked, "Issou, do you know that I'm Batman?"
Issou: "…!!!???"
Boss.
