45 Chapter 45 : Batman And The Joker

"Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it! You know, I just... *do* things."

― The Joker

Gotham City, Iceberg Restaurant.

The Penguin opened his Bulgarian umbrella and pressed one of the switches. The umbrella bone shot out like a bullet, instantly blasting the Talon in front of him. Not satisfied with this, he witnessed the terrifying resilience of this group of monsters. Stepping forward, he aimed the umbrella's tip at the Talon's head. The Bulgarian umbrella transformed into a shotgun, delivering a powerful blow to the opponent's head, akin to a rotten watermelon.

"Whoo, you can't come back from that, can you?" The Penguin, holding an umbrella in one hand, panted heavily, surveying the aftermath. Dead bodies littered the area, including over fifty little brothers with various firearms and three Talons. Nearby, the corpses of an overlord and two triceratops lay imposingly.

After this battle, the entire Iceberg restaurant needed refurbishment, but for the Penguin, money was not a concern. His pondering shifted to how these dinosaurs appeared.

In a nearby building, the situation wasn't better. A giant gorilla, five or six meters high, fell suddenly, causing a tremor. Only two of the seven dispatched Talons remained standing; the other five were torn to pieces or thrown off the tall building into fleshy mud. Even the remaining two were scarred.

"Are we going to kill Bruce Wayne?"

"Of course, we must go. The Court's task must be completed. The Talons that can fulfill the mission are the real Talons."

"Very well, I think so too. Let's go ahead and wash our shame with the blood of the Wayne family."

In the darkness, two Talons supported their broken bodies and advanced towards Wayne Manor.

Ace Chemical Plant, Jude regained consciousness on the ground, staring at Bruce with wide eyes. Chasing him at this point would be futile.

"Uh... Although we couldn't help you prevent this crisis, our transaction should still be effective. Can I go to Lucius for some rare materials?" Bruce glared at him without speaking. Jude could easily give up, having no feelings for Gotham. But he couldn't. Until the last moment, his brain wouldn't stop thinking; there had to be a way.

Observing the airship ascend, Schrader laughed brazenly at the vessel heading toward the city center.

"Hahaha... Batman, do you feel despair? You can't stop it; no one can stop it."

But amid his wild laughter, he noticed something wrong—the airship's speed was slowing down.

"What's the matter? Didn't you add fuel?" Schrader roared at Dr. Fly, who was kicked with blood on his face by Jude and pointed his finger aggrievedly.

"I checked, there's absolutely no problem with the airship. I even checked it three times."

"Then tell me why is this slowing down?"

"This... this... I don't know."

Jude laughed suddenly. "These Two idiots, isn't this easy? If there's no problem with the airship, then there must be something wrong with the person driving it. No matter who he is, he helped us a lot."

"This is impossible. The drivers are all bigfoot people. No one dares to disobey my orders." Schrader roared angrily.

"If you call yourself an idiot, you still won't admit it. The members of your big-footed gang cover their faces all day long. Any stranger can pretend to be one. How do you know that no one has been mixed in?" Reality seemed to confirm Jude's conclusion. Instead of moving on, the airship began to turn around and drive backward.

At this time, Ra's Al Ghul also came to his senses. His plan failed; Bruce's willpower was stronger than expected. Even if he couldn't destroy Bruce's creed, he would destroy Gotham City. He remembered that the airship had been launched before fainting, meaning the situation was irreversible.

But when he opened his eyes, Ra's Al Ghul noticed the airship was not moving away but getting closer.

"Schrader, what's the matter?"

"Don't ask me; I don't know either."

Soon, the airship hovered above them, and the large screen illuminated the surrounding dark sky. After a mosaic moment, the screen became clear, and two big feet, one blue and one red appeared. Then, through the airship's loudspeaker, arrogant laughter resounded across the sky.

"Hahahahaha... hahahahaha..."

"It's so funny watching you guys fight underneath; it's like watching two groups of wild dogs biting each other; it feels painful, right? But I'm very refreshed, hahaha."

"This laugh..." Bruce frowned. Then, the two Assassins pulled off their headgear, revealing the Joker and Harley Quinn—green hair, red lips, and a white face.

"FUCK!"

The four cursed simultaneously. When planning the operation, Ra's Al Ghul sought the Joker not to attract him to his team but to cause trouble. Despite his wasted efforts, he couldn't find the clown. Unexpectedly, the other party unconsciously controlled the airship, holding the trump card.

Jude glanced at Bruce and said, "I warned you; you must beware of clowns. This is the reason; he's always fascinating, but this time, it should be a good thing."

Bruce shouted, "What do you want to do, Joker?" The clown scratched his greasy green hair and said, "What do I want to do? Nothing. I just want to watch your fight. Go on, don't stop."

"Yeah, if you don't want to watch us spray the mutant potion on Gotham, you need to make Mr. J happy," Harley Quinn added with a grimace at Bruce.

Bruce, a bit confused about the clown's intentions, thought it was okay to stabilize the opponent temporarily. When the bat plane arrived, he would be sure. With that in mind, he walked towards Schrader.

"Don't worry; the Joker is just joking with you," Jude assured, grabbing him.

Seeing everyone motionless, the Joker angrily said, "Why don't you do it? Are you challenging my bottom line, Batman?"

Jude said silently, "Come on, Joker, you're here to save him. Why make yourself look like a boss behind the scenes? This time, you're a cute and charming villain." The Joker froze for a moment, then laughed loudly, pointing at Jude with a smile.

"Very good psychology, Batman; this time you owe me." After speaking, his face changed from funny to serious. He put on a pilot scarf and gave orders like a general.

"Soldier Harley, I order you to turn the plane immediately, aim at Browns Mountain, and move forward!"

"Yes, Colonel!" Harley Quinn saluted with excitement and trotted away with two ponytails.
