Saber stood quietly outside the ward, looking at Kevin. Of the six people from last night, he was the only one who survived. Of course, there were also the two children under his protection.
This city was very dangerous. Saber had told Kevin more than once that he needed to learn to protect himself and not place his hopes on others.
In the end, Kevin listened to Saber's advice. On his way to Pier 14, he put on a special bulletproof vest. It was the vest that protected his body, but it couldn't protect his limbs. His body was severely burned, his bones were shattered, his brain was concussed, and 27 pieces of shrapnel were removed from his body.
It was already a miracle that Kevin was still breathing. Seber knew that he couldn't hope for too much, but looking at Kevin who was lying there like a piece of charcoal, he felt that it would be better for his brother to die in battle than to live like this.
Saber was wearing a black suit with a black bandage on his left arm. It was a sign of mourning. The explosion last night had killed all the core members of The Devil Gang. Together with Sergues, who was on the verge of death, The Devil Gang was now without a leader.
Even with his feet, Seiber could imagine how lively the docks would be today.
"Saber, what happened to Kevin?"
My father hurriedly rushed over with his walking stick and Catherine, whose face was covered in tears. Behind them was Gordon, who had a heavy expression on his face, and Robin, who had an ugly expression on his face.
"He's still alive, but that's all."
Seiber said coldly before turning his gaze to Gordon. Gordon couldn't help but take a step back from Seiber's cold gaze. Robin, who was wearing a police uniform, stepped forward and grabbed Gordon's wrist.
"Don't be rash!"
"Phew …"
Saber took a deep breath. He reached out and touched Catherine's head. He turned to his father and said, "Pops, take this girl to New York. Send her to Xavier's Academy for Gifted Youth. It's not safe here anymore."
"What about you?"
His father leaned on his walking stick and looked at Saber. His slightly cloudy eyes flashed with a hint of worry. "First it was Sergues, then it was Kevin … Saber, what are you going to do?"
"It's simple."
Saber was unusually concise today. He looked at Gordon and said softly, "I'm going to do what Batman should have done a year ago, but it's been delayed until today."
He looked at Kevin, who was lying in the ward, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. This, coupled with the scene at this moment, was exceptionally frightening.
"The person who has always wanted to restore peace to Gotham is lying here. No one knows if he's dead or alive. I'm going to help him finish what he wants to do."
"You're going to start a war?"
Gordon took a step forward. His eyes were fixed on Saber. "Are you serious?"
"Do you think I'm someone who won't fight back after being hit?"
Saber took out a white handkerchief from his pocket and gently wiped his fingers. His face was calm and his tone was gentle.
"You see, I don't really want my hands to be stained with blood. You were the one who asked me to release Wurz … He should have stayed in Arkham Asylum quietly until he died of old age. I should have sent those rats in the dark back to their cages one by one. You were the one who promised me that you would deal with them peacefully."
He reached out and helped Gordon tidy up his slightly messy clothes.
"You've gone back on your words, Gordon.
The price I have to pay for trusting you is that my brother's life is in danger. The peace and peace that he built will crumble. The dock area and the narrow island will return to the chaos and darkness of the past. "
He placed the handkerchief in Gordon's hand.
"Your hands are stained with blood too. Wipe them clean and watch me deal with them in my own way."
Robin felt the tension in the air. He knew what Saber would do if he lost his mind. He tried to persuade him to calm down.
"Saber, don't be like this. No one wants this to happen …"
Slap!
A cold slap landed on Robin's face. It wasn't Saber or Gordon, it was his father.
Christian Teach, an old man who was over 70 years old, slammed his walking stick on the ground. His eyes were burning with unbearable rage. He pointed at Kevin who was lying in the hospital room with a trembling finger. His voice had never been so angry and low.
"Look at him! Robin, that's your brother who lived with you for more than a year. He's dying! I understand that you're loyal to your duty. But are you going to stop your family from avenging him? "
Papa was enraged like a mad lion. He took a step forward and roared at Robin.
"Tell me! Robin, are you going to stop Saber? "
Robin didn't expect his words to lead to such an outcome. However, he couldn't refute his father. When he was abused by his foster family and ran away from home, it was Papa who picked him up and raised him. In his heart, Papa was his father.
"Don't be like this, Papa."
Saber reached out his hand and stroked Papa's back. He looked at Robin and shook his head.
"Don't worry, outsiders will laugh at us. I'll get justice for Kevin."
"Huff … Huff …"
Papa closed his eyes and tried to calm his trembling body. Finally, he held Saber's hand.
"Kill them all! Kill those who dared to hurt your family. Don't give them a second chance to hurt you! "
"Okay."
Saber's face was calm. "I'll do it. Trust me. Catherine, send Papa home. Robin, go do what you should do with Mr. Gordon."
He stretched out his hand to tidy up his clothes and stretched his fingers. Then, he smiled at Gordon.
"I should go … do what I should do."
He walked forward. When he passed by Gordon, the police chief asked in a low voice.
"Do you really want to do this? You'll only make Gotham more chaotic and worse. Even you will be … "
"Whether this city lives or dies … does it have anything to do with me?"
Saber stopped in his tracks. He didn't turn around. Instead, he asked in a hoarse voice, "I only have one question. If you can give me a satisfactory answer, I'll be able to live peacefully like before."
"Hmm?"
Gordon looked at Saber's side profile. He saw the tall young man squinting his eyes.
"My brother is dying. Why are they still alive?"
"Why are they still alive?"
"Hmm?"
Gordon couldn't answer this question. Saber reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
"You're a good police officer. I know that, so I don't blame you. However, Kevin's life is precious. He saved this city, didn't he? So if he dies, I'll make everyone in Gotham pay with their lives. I won't go back on my words. "
"I've always been a man of my words!"
"Tap, tap, tap."
Saber's footsteps faded away. Gordon leaned against the wall and took off his black-rimmed glasses. He looked at Robin. This young man was still in a daze from the slap just now.
"Robin, inform everyone that tonight's leave is canceled. Everyone is to bring their guns and patrol the area! Tell the fire department and the heavy-duty police to be prepared. Tonight is going to be chaotic. "
A few minutes later, Gordon sat back in the car. He took out his phone and dialed a string of numbers.
"Bruce … Kevin is seriously injured. The gang did it. Saber, he … he's going crazy."
"… I'll rush back as fast as I can. Hang in there!"
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The house near the Gotham Port was the lair of the Devil Gang. After the explosion last night, word of mouth spread, and this morning, members of the Devil Gang swarmed in from all directions.
If it was only a problem with one of the bosses, this situation would not have happened. The Devil Gang had seven high-ranking members. Any one of them could have handled this matter smoothly. Unfortunately, other than Sergues who was seriously injured and hospitalized, the remaining six bosses and their leader, Kevin, were all killed.
It was like a snake that had its head chopped off. The body was still alive, but it was rapidly losing blood and vitality.
"Where's Boss Kevin?"
"Boss was killed by the explosion! Cooper saw it with his own eyes at the hospital. Even Pops went over! "
"Bastard! How dare you say the boss is dead? I think you're going to die now! "
"Shut up! All of you shut up! Who can contact the other bosses? "
The group of people were either panicking, gloomy, or hot-tempered. They were grabbing those guys who were talking nonsense and giving them a heavy punch. A team, no matter what their goal was, no matter what their beliefs were, would always be amiable during normal times. Only in times of crisis could one see the true nature of each person.
It was said that when a person was about to die, that was when they were closest to the truth. There were loyal people, and naturally there were fence-sitters. There were also people with uncertain thoughts.
They quietly mixed in with the crowd, carefully making up half-truths and half-lies. They carefully stirred up the heartstrings of these people who were already under great pressure. They were just short of saying, "The Devil Gang is finished. Let's go find another boss."
The chaos lasted for more than twenty minutes. Then, the tightly shut door was pushed open. A man in a black suit with a cloth wrapped around his left arm walked into the hall. He held a black sheathed straight blade in one hand and a pistol in the other.
"Bang!"
One of the people who was whispering excitedly did not even have time to react before his skull was blown off by the bullet. The red, white, and sticky liquid that emitted a fishy and bloody smell splattered everywhere.
Their whispers, those disgusting words, could not escape Saber's sharp ears.
This shot made all the voices quiet down. More than a hundred people in the hall had their eyes on Saber. They still remembered the face of the director of the Port Authority who led them into the narrow island a year ago and cut the Gambor Gang into pieces.
Saber walked forward and casually threw the gun in his hand to a more familiar person. He stood in front of the crowd and swept his cold gaze across everyone. The substantial murderous and cold aura made everyone in the hall feel his aura.
It was like an unsheathed blade. It was so sharp that even if one just touched it, one's skin would be cut open.
"Kevin is dying …"
"I'm going to avenge him!"
"Who wants to come with me?"
These three simple sentences were like a heavy hammer that smashed into the hearts of the panicking gang members. He held the hilt of his straight blade with both hands and stood there with his eyes closed. He seemed to be waiting for the first person to step forward. He believed that if Kevin had a brain, at least a third of the hundred people would be loyal to him.
There were also the dockworkers who were instigated by Saber to attack the narrow island. They looked at Saber and thought about his three sentences. After three minutes of silence, everyone knew what they were going to face this time.
"I'll go!"
A weak voice came from the door. Saber opened his eyes. It was a skinny child with bruises on his face. He walked with a limp and looked like he had just been injured. Saber had seen this child before. He knew that he was Ed's younger brother, someone who had always been at odds with Kevin.
Everything that happened last night was because of him.
Joy walked to Saber. He raised his head with difficulty and looked at Saber. He was different from the others. He had heard about Saber from Ed. He was afraid. Facing Saber's cold gaze, he clenched his teeth.
"Kevin gave me and my sister our lives. I owe him a life. I'll go with you!"
The murderous intent in Seiber's eyes subsided as he nodded. Joey stood behind him, followed by a familiar face that he couldn't name. He silently walked out from the crowd and stood behind Seiber. Then, a third, a fourth, and a fifth person followed suit.
Finally, the hall split down the middle. There were about 70 people behind Saber and about 20 people on the other side.
Seiber turned around to look at his silent brothers who shared a common enemy. When he turned around again, the killing intent in his eyes was no longer concealed. It was as if he had shed all pretense at this moment. The blade in his hand slowly slid out of its sheath.
"The Devil Gang doesn't need cowards!"
"Kill them all!"
