"I'm back …"
Saber looked at the night sky through the window of the plane. Outside the window, the city of eight million people seemed to have fallen asleep. Only the lights reminded the people that the real night had yet to come.
The private plane landed smoothly on the runway of the airport. Saber, who was wearing a windbreaker, sunglasses, scarf, and a cane, stepped onto the ground of Gotham. Lewis, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly walked up and took the wooden box from Saber's hands.
It was heavy in his hands, as if he had placed a piece of steel in it.
"Boss Saber, do you want to have a meal first? Or do you want to go back to the villa to rest? "
Lewis asked as he carried the wooden box on his shoulder. Saber looked around. In the cold air of Gotham, he stretched his shoulders.
"Let's go back to the villa … Oh right, is Robin here?"
This question made Lewis feel a little awkward. After the luxurious four-car fleet set off, he said softly.
"Robin has gone to deal with his own matters. He will probably be back very late."
"Hmm?"
Saber took off his glasses and looked at Lewis who was sitting beside him. "I heard that he is doing something not so 'official'? He didn't tell me clearly the last time. "
"Uh, how should I put it?"
Lewis scratched his head and finally came up with an inappropriate adjective. "It's like what Batman did in the past."
"Oh?"
Saber's interest was piqued. He took out his cigar box and took out two cigars. While he was smoking, Lewis, who had been traveling back and forth between New York and Gotham for the past few years, explained the current situation in Gotham to him in detail.
"After Joker died, the order in the city improved as a whole …"
Lewis started with this sentence and then described the current situation in Gotham. He summed it up in four words: "Demons running amok".
Three years ago, the riot planned by Joker pushed Gotham to the edge of the cliff. The official announcement was that Batman and Joker died together. Even Harvey Dent and other good people died in this great battle between good and evil. Many tourists were influenced by this epic story and came to Gotham to pay homage to the place where the superheroes fought.
But in reality, among all the people involved in this incident, only Joker really died. The others were still alive and well. Bruce Wayne and Rachel Daws got married a year later and started a two year long trip around the world. They only returned to Gotham a week ago.
After losing his beloved wife, Police Commissioner Jim Gordon walked out of the shadow, he hated crime even more. His methods became stronger and his actions were more ruthless. Under his management, after Joker disappeared for a year, Gotham's security reached its best point in history.
During that period, Gotham was peaceful … but we all know that peaceful days are always short.
Especially in the slums where the living conditions had not been improved, there was no shortage of people who were desperate to take risks due to the terrible living conditions. In this civilized city, the worst thing was that many people had to rely on crime to survive.
The influence of the Gotham 12 Gangs was swept away by the "Dent Act". Like a blank space waiting to be filled in, crime was unavoidable.
At first, it was at the edge of the city. A few small gangs struggled to survive under Gordon's strong suppression. Everything seemed to be getting better, but no one knew that this was actually a sign of things going bad.
It was almost as if a demon had torn open a passage to hell in this city. One after another, all sorts of strange fellows appeared.
First, a person who called himself "Black Mask" burned down the East District Police Station, burning 27 policemen to death. He declared that the entire East District was his territory. Then, in the battle between Gordon and Black Mask, a person who called herself "Robin" joined Gordon's side. She wore dark red armor and used two combat sticks to fight.
They spent 2 months before they managed to capture the black mask, but the order of the eastern part of the city was already a mess. In a way, the reemergence of the Gotham mafia was a result of the black mask's manipulation.
After he was locked up in Arkham Asylum due to his violent tendencies, everyone thought that the chaos was over. However, on the third day, a criminal who was over 40 years old completed his sentence. Oswald Chesterfield Copperfield, the last successor of the Copperfield family, one of the four great families of Gotham. His family had long since declined. This person who lost the fight with Falconi for the throne of Gotham Mob Emperor spent 15 years in prison.
"Penguin" was his self-proclaimed title. At first, no one paid any attention to this somewhat childish character. However, by the time Gordon realized that something was amiss, the lower city district, western city district and most of the narrow island had already fallen into the hands of Penguin. Unlike thugs like Black Mask, Kopotter was more adept at solving problems with schemes.
Under the manipulation of his evil wisdom, the Gotham Mob was on the rise. Until now, when Saber once again stepped into the city, Gotham seemed to have returned to the time when they struggled against the Joker and the 12 gangs.
Other than the traditional gang members like Penguin, there were also many lone wolves who joined the feast.
"Joker Girl" who dressed herself up as a traditional Joker because she worshipped the chaotic and ruthless Joker.
"Poison Ivy", a woman who lived alone in the city and no one dared to provoke her.
"Death Shooter", who was hired by the gang to carry out assassinations and was said to have a mechanical eye.
It was said that in the huge and complicated sewers beneath the city, there was another faction that was the most mysterious.
As for our chivalrous Robin … it wasn't as if he didn't have a "righteous partner".
In the former territory of the Mafia, in the five streets of the Lower District, there was a lady who wore black leather armor and fought with a crossbow. She called herself the "Huntress".
In the Central District, there was a detective agency that was on the verge of bankruptcy. There was a young detective who no one knew his real name, but people called him "Tim", a guy with a surprisingly good brain.
There were also some who madly missed the era of Batman and spontaneously wore all kinds of weird uniforms to fight against evil.
"It's very chaotic …"
Lewis removed the cigar from his mouth and sighed. "I don't even know why it became like this, but when I came back to my senses, it was already like this … This is crazy. At that time, there were only three masked men in the city, and now …"
The temporary ruler of the docks threw the cigar in his hand out of the car and said to Saber helplessly.
"Now, the city is filled with madmen running around with masks on."
Seiber was speechless. He smoked his cigar quietly. Finally, he spoke in a low voice.
"The Joker … He changed everything in the end. This city can never go back to the past. It's really … a mess."
"Bang bang bang!"
A series of chaotic gunshots rang out, and the convoy that was moving forward in the dark dock area suddenly stopped. Lewis's head hit the car window as he was caught off guard. He cursed as he pulled out his pistol, opened the door, and saw a group of bastards with messy masks in front of him shooting madly with guns. He yelled, "Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
"Damn it! Take your weapons! Let these idiots know whose territory this is! "
The Devil Gang did not have many members in Gotham. Harvey had not transferred the main force back to Gotham. However, the members of The Devil Gang who took over the original business might be few in number, but they were well-equipped. Compared to the messy guns on the other side, the members who welcomed Saber's return were much more proper and powerful.
Five grenades opened up a path, followed by a burst of gunfire. In less than 15 seconds, the seven idiots blocking the way were all killed. Lewis walked over to the corpses that had been turned into a beehive. He covered his mouth in disgust after taking a look at the corpses.
"Throw them into the sea, damn it."
But at that moment, a bullet was fired from the darkness. Its target was Lewis's head. Just as his head was about to explode, a hand reached out from behind and pressed Lewis's body down.
"Bang!"
The bullet hit the car window, shattering the bulletproof glass. Lewis, who had just dodged a bullet, looked up from the ground. He saw Saber's windbreaker being blown by the wind into a dark alley. A few gunshots were heard, and moments later, he dragged a guy in a black combat uniform out of the alley.
This guy was wearing a silver-white metal helmet, but it was obvious that his right eye was like an infrared scope. Lewis looked at this guy whose helmet was shattered. He saw the exact fist mark left on the hard metal helmet and the few bullet marks on Seiber's clothes. He whispered to Lewis, "Sir, you're right. You're right. You're right.
"This is the Death Shooter … Looks like someone hired him to eliminate us."
"Phew … Lewis, I remember before I left, no one dared to attack us like this in the harbor area and the narrow island."
Saber held a cigar in his mouth. He leaned on his cane and said softly in the darkness.
"What's going on now? Why am I being shot when I'm on my own turf? "
His voice was filled with a strong sense of dissatisfaction.
"Or are you so useless that you don't dare to act when you feel threatened?"
"Or should I say, the people who followed Kevin to wipe out Gotham … have no guts?"
Lewis's cold sweat dripped down his face. The others were trembling and did not dare to move. They were all veterans of The Devil Gang, and they knew how scary the young man in front of them could be when he was angry.
They had seen the bloody night in Gotham with their own eyes, and they had even participated in it.
"Fuh …"
Saber took out his cigar and blew a white puff of smoke into the air.
"Tell Harvey, within three days, I want to see the harbor area and the narrow island returned to The Devil Gang's control. I don't care what methods you use, I don't care how many people you kill, at least in these two places, I want to see the former order … Do you understand?"
"Yes!"
Lewis straightened his body and shouted, "I don't need three days, as long as the Mexican people are here, I can do it in a day!"
Saber looked at him and nodded.
"Then show me!"
He turned around and looked at the dark night in Gotham harbor. Both of his hands held onto his cane as he stood in the middle of the street that was filled with the smell of blood and death. His voice became colder and colder.
"If this city has forgotten about the Devil Gang … then let's use fresh blood to make them remember!"
"If the criminals of this city can no longer see the fear of the past, then let them know one thing through slaughter …"
"This is Gotham, this is the place where my family is buried, this is Christian's territory."
"If you dare to reach out, chop off your claws, if you dare to refute, chop off your head!"
The red light in his eyes became brighter, and a substantial murderous aura surged in the surrounding darkness. Finally, he turned his head and looked at the alley and the darkness on his left, and the dark red figure that slowly walked out from the darkness.
It was the last set of armor that Saber wore. It had edges and corners, and looked like it was made of special materials. Some parts were covered with steel. Two black combat sticks were behind him, and a string of complicated tools were tied to his belt. On the button at the front of the belt was a slanted "L".
Seiber looked at him. It wasn't a ghost face. Instead, it was a dark red, semi-curved, double-layered face that looked like a warrior's helmet. Seiber couldn't see the eyes. There was only a red light that pierced through the middle of the helmet. It was a special type of tactical goggles.
He asked in a low voice.
"Am I right? Robin. "
(For the specific image, refer to the Overwatch Genji's helmet, just change it to dark red.)
