Black Mask’s Last Madness

When the two tightly fitted walls were separated, it was astonishing to see that the access to the laboratory on the ground had been opened.

The four statues have been crushed to pieces by the tremendous pressure and scattered on the ground.

The Riddler looked at what he saw before him and frowned tightly.

He was certain that Phantom Kid did not solve the riddle of the poor peasant statue in the end.

Then there should have been no possibility of the passage being opened.

But the scene in front of him couldn't be faked.

He carefully observed the entrance of the passage and found that there were many cracks on the edge of the entrance, which were very inconspicuous under the cover of night.

Could it be that Phantom Kid forcibly destroyed the entrance of the passage?

Impossible!

Even the explosive force of a surface-to-surface missile would hardly cause such damage.

If a more powerful weapon is used, it will not cause this kind of damage.

Can a man really achieve such destructive power?

"What the hell did he do?"

Riddler's face was grim, and he frantically ripped apart the statue fragments piled up near the passage, trying to find any clues about Kid's actions.

At this moment, the Riddler's concern was no longer revolving around whether or not the nuke would be stolen; he was more concerned with whether or not Kid had cracked his riddle.

If not, how did he open the passage?

Kid used a method beyond his imagination to open the passage. Does this count as solving the Riddler's riddle?

The more he thought about these questions, the more confused the Riddler's mind became, and the more sinister his face turned.

Suddenly, the hand frantically picking up pieces of the statue stopped.

Just because he found something that shouldn't be here.

A green vine…

"Bane, Sionis, give up your resistance, you can't escape the GCPD siege!"

Gordon's voice spread across the river through a loudspeaker.

"Go to hell, Jim! I'll never surrender to you, even if I put my life into it!"

Black Mask responded angrily.

The dark river had been full of gang members or mercenaries, and the outermost circle was full of GCPD people.

Bane couldn't see the exact location of Black Mask for the moment.

"Sionis is trying to provoke Gordon, it seems he would rather die than go back to Arkham Asylum."

The current situation is very obvious; the GCPD and the Penguin have reached an agreement at some point, and they played Black Mask in the palm of their hands.

The defeat had been sealed.

The GCPD's men hadn't been able to do this kind of heavy-handed siege.

The Penguin's men must be involved with them.

Breaking through the siege may have become a suicide mission.

"Boss, hurry up and breakthrough, I'll cover you!"

Just then, a familiar voice sounded from behind Bane.

Domino was swimming in his direction.

"I found the weakest link in the opponent's siege. Although the enemy there is still very strong, I believe that it is easy for the boss to break through it!"

"At four o'clock!"

"Domino…"

Bane's heart was full of mixed feelings.

At first, he decided to bring Domino with him, but it was only because he had doubts about him.

But along the way, there was nothing suspicious about Domino's behavior.

He even helped him immeasurably.

When Bane looked in the direction Domino pointed out, it was indeed the weakest point of siege.

There's no better place to break out than there, at least as far as the eye can see.

"Damn it! Jim Gordon! Shoot me, you grumpy fool!"

Black Mask continued to curse at Gordon.

Before the siege was formed, Black Mask and Bane could have also considered joining forces to take revenge on the Penguin and Gordon.

But now…

Bane analysed the situation, and he analysed it very well.

And even better than Bane, Black Mask knew that neither Batman nor Gordon could kill them.

They would only detain a bunch of prominent criminals, including themselves, into that filthy, disgusting asylum to keep on rotting, where their proudest abilities would never get a chance to be used again.

Black Mask wants to replace Penguin as Gotham's criminal king, which is his ideal and the obsession that has driven him to fight the Penguin for decades.

After finally coming out of Arkham, Black Mask swore never to go back.

If he doesn't become a king, he will become a ghost.

"Everyone in the Black Mask Gang, if you don't want to be chained up and shot one by one, then pick up your weapons in your hands and resist!"

"Kill Jim Gordon and we can turn things around!"

Black Mask kept inciting his subordinates.

For some reason, even many of Bane's subordinates felt it made sense to pick up their weapons and attack the enemy in front of them.

Of course, that's because Bane didn't show up.

As the most powerful guy on the scene, Black Mask, was of course supported by all the villains.

Only the mercenaries directly under Bane rushed towards him regardless of the situation.

Black Mask's incitement drove countless criminals crazy, and they attacked the GCPD police officers desperately.

"Roman, do you know what you are doing!"

Gordon was furious.

"Hahaha, Jim! Never before has it been so clear to me what I should do."

"I will never give in, Jim, unless you kill me!"

Black Mask was decisive.

"Boss, what are you hesitating about, our lives are insignificant, but you are different! The Master Ninja still needs you!"

Seeing that Bane didn't speak for a long time, Domino couldn't help but persuade anxiously.

"You can't self-destruct like Sionis, he's crazy!"

These words sounded like a thunderbolt to Bane's ears. Not for the sake of anything else, just for the "Master Ninja" that Domino mentioned.

Talia!

Bane's deepest love and the meaning of his existence.

If something had gone wrong with him, there was no guarantee that something would not go wrong with Talia.

And most importantly – the nuclear bomb!

It was the one thing that must never go wrong, no matter what.

"In the past, I have experienced countless wars with you, and today our worst loss."

Bane looked at the mercenaries who gathered over and said in a deep voice.

"However, failure will not defeat me, nor can it defeat you. Now let's break out of this wretched siege!"

With Black Mask refusing to surrender to Gordon and Bane not showing up, Gordon knew that a more intense battle was coming.

At first, police officers would only shoot criminals who actively attacked them.

But soon, they found that almost all criminals began to show a tendency to riot.

No one likes to have a gun pointed at their head in a cold river, especially vicious thugs.

With just a little nudge, they can create a huge mess.

Unfortunately, the police already had an inherent advantage, an advantage that could not be compensated for so simply. However, many police officers were inexplicably injured or killed.

"Since Roman doesn't want to go back to Arkham, let's send him to the place he wants to go most – Hell!"

Gordon growled.
