"Bang!"
A soft sound rang out. It was exceptionally clear in the darkness, as if a careless cat had stepped on the ground, or as if a person who liked to take a stroll in the dark had kicked over a bucket.
Harvey Dent, who was holding a cup of hot coffee, turned around abruptly and saw a person in a black bat suit leaning against the wall. He was like a ghost in the dark. Anyone would be shocked if such an existence suddenly appeared in the dark.
He had purposely made that sound, Harvey thought. When the famous Gotham Batman walked in the dark, he probably wouldn't have been caught by a normal person like him.
"We failed."
Harvey's handsome face was full of disappointment. "The gang got the news in advance. The most important thing now is …"
"Bang!"
The door on the roof of the police station was pushed open. Chief Gordon rushed out with a face full of anger. He turned off the modified bat searchlight and stared at Harvey like an enraged lion.
"I spent two months planning, even working with scum like Wurz. Everything was going smoothly until your people got involved!"
"Bang!"
He threw a stack of notes covered in radioactive paint on the ground. The notes scattered everywhere. "This is the guarantee you gave me!"
"You said there's a traitor among my people?!"
Harvey was also enraged. He looked at Gordon and waved his arms in agitation. He shouted, "It's because you and scum like Wurz and Kevin that things have turned out this way! I told you long ago, they can't be trusted. You can't trust a single word from their mouths! "
"Enough!"
The two big shots of Gotham's legal world glared at each other. Seeing that both parties' emotions were starting to intensify, the guy who had been standing in the dark, as if he didn't exist, finally opened his mouth. Under the latest bat helmet, there were tactical lenses on his eyes. When others looked at him, they looked like dark eyes, which were even more threatening.
He asked with a hoarse voice.
"Let's not talk about the past. There's no point in pushing the blame to each other. Is there any way to salvage the situation?"
"Yes!"
Harvey put his left hand on his waist and finished the drink in his hand. "That's why I'm here tonight!"
The prosecutor glanced at Gordon. "Someone called Liu from the mafia bank's accounting company. He should have access to the mafia's account books and cash flow information. I originally planned to control him directly, but his sense of smell is far sharper than a normal person's. Before my men arrived, he had already left Gotham."
Gordon also sighed.
"I should have issued a no-fly order at Gotham Airport before the operation, but he must have left the country by now … We can't use the government's name to arrest him."
After saying that, both of them looked at Batman at the same time. The latter didn't think there was any problem. He thought for a moment and asked cautiously.
"If I bring him back, can you make him talk?"
Harvey and Gordon looked at each other. The young and promising prosecutor snorted and punched the air with his fist.
"I can make him sing!"
He sighed and turned around to take a document from the searchlight. He said softly, "This is where we found Liu's whereabouts. He should be at …"
Harvey raised his head. There was nothing in front of him. Just like when he arrived, the black shadow disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. The prosecutor was stunned. He looked at Gordon and the latter shrugged at him.
"He's just like that … I'm still not used to it. But since he agreed, you can start preparing for the interrogation."
"You have a lot of confidence in him, Director Gordon."
Harvey glanced at Gordon. The latter shook his head and left the rooftop. His voice floated in the night.
"Because he never disappoints us."
When he reached the rooftop entrance, Gordon turned around and looked at Harvey who was behind him.
"You've seen Saber. He's not easy to deal with, right?"
"Hmm?"
Harvey narrowed his eyes, but Gordon did not mind. He thought for a moment and said, "Let me give you a suggestion, Harvey. Stay away from Saber. This is for your safety. This man is a hundred times more dangerous than he looks."
Gordon looked at Harvey, who was not convinced. He sighed.
"I'm serious. Don't mess with him."
Under the darkening night, on the other side of the city where eight million people lived, in a part of the old house that had not been demolished, a boy was going through the first difficult choice of his life.
Joy looked nervously at the three guys who broke into the house. He stretched out his hands and tried to stop them from entering the house, but the bastard in the Joker mask kicked him away. He clutched his stomach and rolled to the side. He stubbornly refused to accept Kevin's kindness and continued to live in the old house that was about to be demolished with his sick sister.
The young man believed that it was Kevin who had killed his brother Ed. Although many people had tried to explain it to him, a rebellious child trusted his own judgment more than anything else. This was not a mistake, but now, the young man's stubborn insistence had finally brought him trouble.
"Don't go there!"
Joy clutched his chest and saw the guys with guns in their hands rummaging around the house. He saw that they were about to open the door to the inner room. He rushed over anxiously, but two men in the Joker mask pinned him to the foot of the wall. They punched and kicked him, but he was like an injured beast. He did not succumb to the pain. Instead, he roared and waved his claws at the opponents he could not fight.
Even if he could not hurt them at all.
A moment later, he heard a girl crying. He then saw his skinny sister being dragged out by the guy by the arm. The cold gun was pressed against the girl's head. At this moment, Joy really regretted it.
He regretted refusing Kevin's kindness again and again. If he and his brother lived in the dock area now, this would not have happened.
"Hehe, boss, the bait has been caught!"
The guy in the Joker mask took out his mobile phone and reported to the person behind the scenes, "What should we do next?"
At this time, in the Dock Area Port Authority, Kevin had just finished a day's work. Harvey's sudden visit reminded Kevin. In the past few days, he had been busy doing some security measures for the remaining batches of "goods" this month.
Yes, Harvey's intuition was correct. Like other gangs, The Devil Gang also had its own "business." After Saber got in touch with Tony Stark, although Tony himself did not care, the arms business of Stark Industries opened the door to The Devil Gang.
This world was not peaceful. In fact, it was much crazier than the world that Saber once lived in. Wars broke out everywhere in Central Asia, Africa, and South America, but everything was hidden under a seemingly orderly appearance. The Devil Gang was just a very inconspicuous small fry in the arms giant Stark Industries. However, in this business, with the advantage of the revived Gotham Port, The Devil Gang made a lot of money in just half a year.
With enough funding, they could let go of those oppressive and unreputable businesses. This was also where Kevin's confidence came from. He did not harm the interests of anyone in this city. On the contrary, he protected them. The peaceful environment of the dock area and the narrow island was his credit.
They were doing a good deed!
It was with the support of this mentality that Kevin could stay in a position he did not like for so long. Once a person had faith, he would naturally be supported by others. Kevin, who started from scratch, was the absolute core of The Devil Gang.
"Beep Beep Beep Beep"
Kevin had just gotten into the car when his phone rang. He looked at the number and picked it up.
"Billy, what's the matter?"
"Boss, come to Pier 14 quickly! Joy and his sister have been captured. They want you to come personally, or they will kill them! Steve and the others are coming. Come quickly! "
"Bang!"
Kevin punched the driver's seat. His expression was extremely gloomy. A moment later, the black car rushed out of the Port Authority's parking lot at the fastest speed and sped all the way to the northernmost Pier 14.
Kevin and Ed's relationship had surpassed that of friends, especially after Ed died for Kevin. The half-brother and sister he left behind had become Kevin's concern.
However, Joy's unwillingness to cooperate also made Kevin very frustrated. Most importantly, in the darkness of this city, Kevin knew that many people wanted to get rid of him and The Devil Gang. Everyone wanted a piece of juicy meat. Later on, he did not take the initiative to contact Joy and the girl because he was afraid that they would encounter such a thing. But now … the thing he was most worried about had happened.
"F * ck you bastards!"
Steve, who was only wearing a shirt and shorts, waved a pistol in his hand and cursed at the bastards wearing Joker masks who were standing at the edge of the pier.
"Let the two children go, and we'll fight like real men! You bastards! "
There were five or six other people beside Steve. They were all Kevin's old friends, and only they knew about the relationship between Joy and Kevin. Only they, who lived nearby, could rush over in the middle of the night.
"Vroom!"
The sound of wheels colliding with the ground came from afar. Before the car came to a stop, Kevin, who was holding an assault rifle, jumped out of the car with a cold expression. With a click, he pulled the safety and aimed at the three Joker members who were holding Joy and the girl, whose faces were covered in blood.
He strode over and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Bullets streaked across the night sky, startling the three fearless guys. They looked in horror at Kevin who was pointing the gun at them. One of the guys pointed the gun at the neck of the little girl in his hand and shouted loudly, "Hey, hey, hey, hey!
"Do you f * cking want to kill them? Don't come over! "
"Kill them if you want to. You idiots really think I care about them? They're just two useless burdens! "
Kevin pointed the gun at the three men in front of him. His voice became colder and colder in the dark.
"I'll count down from ten. If you haven't opened fire by then, you don't have to. I'll do it for you!"
“10，9，8...”
Both sides were in a stalemate. Only Kevin's cold voice kept ringing in the dark. Steve and the others silently took a few steps back. They were not stupid. Kevin was using his own method to save the two children.
When the countdown reached one, Kevin lowered the muzzle of his gun. A trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but in the next moment, he pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
"Ugh …"
Joy, whose mouth was taped, struggled on the ground in pain. The bullet had pierced through his abdomen, and blood spurted out. The scene shocked the three men who were holding him hostage.
"First one!"
Kevin shouted again. "Only three seconds this time …"
“3，2...”
"F * ck, you lunatic!"
The Joker's three men looked at each other. When Kevin's muzzle turned towards them, they let go of the girl and jumped into the sea behind them. Kevin was obviously a ruthless man. For a kidnapper, what could be more terrifying than losing a hostage?
"Kill them!"
Kevin said coldly. He then threw the gun in his hand aside. When Steve and the others rushed to the dock and fired into the water, he walked to Joy's side and reached out to tear the tape on his mouth.
"Don't worry, those are blanks. You won't die …"
"Run!"
Joy's painful scream interrupted Kevin's comforting words. "They have explosives in their car!"
"What?"
Kevin's gaze suddenly turned to the van that stopped less than 200 meters away from them. At that moment, a dazzling red light filled Kevin's vision. His first reaction was to throw Joy and the girl under his body.
When the scorching storm swept across Pier 14, the entire night sky seemed to become noisy.
