American Comics: BOSS Invasion

“Mr. Wayne, I think you've misunderstood something. We are not a violent organization; we lean more towards insurance.

If you need thugs or other special professionals, you can find them in Gotham City. There's no need to go far afield.

Of course, we welcome your joining, but that doesn't change anything.”

Bruce looked a little embarrassed, especially being directly rejected in front of two peers, which was quite humiliating.

“Ms. Alice, perhaps you don't understand my meaning. Rejecting my request means rejecting hundreds of millions of dollars in orders. Are you sure you want to do that, given my reasonable request?”

A chuckle came from the communicator. “Mr. Wayne, don't get excited. Perhaps you don't understand the scale of the Vengeance Foundation. In principle, we don't accept orders below $200 million.

The reason, I believe, is self-evident. Although we don't have many clients, each one enjoys the highest level of service.

You may not be aware, but we've already handled hundreds of orders similar to your father's.

Also, I must say that Mr. Wayne doesn't seem to have looked closely at the information I left you last time.

In view of the special request left by Thomas and Martha Wayne in the order notes, before our revenge plan is completed, the safety of the sole heir, Mr. Wayne, must be guaranteed.”

Bruce Wayne was stunned for a moment, then sneered: “Is that so? Why haven't I felt it? Where were the people protecting me when I was being chased this morning? Where were you when I was in such a mess at the fence's place before?”

“Don't be agitated. I only need to say one sentence, and Mr. Wayne will understand. When the Gentleman doesn't take the initiative to show himself, no one can find him!

Mr. Wayne wouldn't think encountering him was a coincidence, would he?”

So, the real culprit is Bruce Wayne?

He actually has connections with the Vengeance Foundation?

“What do you mean?” Bruce Wayne asked.

“Since we appeared in front of you, it's been more than a month. During this time, the Foundation has completed a considerable number of revenge orders in accordance with the rules and regulations.

When the bounty tasks exceeded one thousand, three-quarters of the funds left by Mr. Thomas Wayne had already been consumed.

In order to achieve the best results, we specially reserved one-quarter of the funds to launch the final action proof!”

Bruce felt that something was wrong and quickly asked: “Are you going to withdraw? Who exactly ordered the murder of my parents? Who is the mastermind? Who are the members of the Court of Owls?”

Alice chuckled: “Mr. Wayne, you care about too many things. Relax a bit. You're still just a teenager. You have plenty of time in the future to find the answers yourself, if you have the ability.

Getting back to the point, Mr. Wayne may have heard of the last three targets, at least in Gotham City, their reputations are quite loud.

They are Mayor James, Roman Falcone, and Don Romani!”

“What? What did you just say? No, do you know what you just said?” Selina jumped up before Alice could finish speaking.

Having been on the streets all her life, she should be the one among the three who understands the weight of these three targets the most.

Even the most inconspicuous mayor is a big shot who can influence the city's development.

And Falcone and Romani themselves represent Gotham's underground order.

Although there are other forces in a wide range, generally speaking, these two are the rulers of Gotham's underworld, standing in opposition to each other.

The businesses they operate and participate in are more than Selina has seen in her entire life.

Bruce Wayne was also quite surprised. He is no longer an ignorant teenager. He knows exactly who these three people are and what they represent.

“Do you know what you're saying?”

Alice ignored Selina's question and said directly: “The targets have already been confirmed, but given their special nature, simply using ordinary bounty hunters probably won't have much effect.

Therefore, this is the reason for the Gentleman's appearance. Mr. Wayne, these are the last three targets, and you happen to be on the scene. If you're really curious, it might be a good idea to follow along and see for yourself!”

Bruce was speechless. The guys from the Vengeance Foundation never seem to know how to be discreet.

“Mr. Wayne, after you come of age, if you are still interested in our Vengeance Foundation, please call us directly.

After tonight, this order task will be successfully completed. The communication equipment we gave you before will continue to operate for two years. During this period, if you have any after-sales problems, please feel free to call us. So…”

The communication was cut off directly, and Bruce Wayne was still in a daze.

He was still too young. Even if he knew there were dark places, he could never imagine how dark they really were.

The three of them looked at each other, turned around at the same time, and walked back to the bonfire.

“How is it? Did you get the answer you wanted?”

While they were on the phone, Qi Shan had already swept away all the food without any politeness.

This world is so realistic. Even if there is a chance to enjoy a free meal, not everyone can eat their fill.

Bruce glanced at Selina and said: “I heard, your target tonight is those three people!”

Qi Shan said expressionlessly: “Do you want to stop me?”

“No, my two friends and I just want to see it for ourselves. After all, it's the legendary Gentleman taking action. This is a rare sight.”

Qi Shan didn't bother to pay attention to Bruce's sarcastic remarks.

Batman was never a likable character.

Even when he became the leader of the Justice League and had a lot of super-powered people under his command, more than 80% of Gotham people still disliked him.

It seems that his annoying personality had already shown itself in his teenage years.

Qi Shan glanced at them. Selina's eyes were faintly excited.

It felt like she was chasing a star. Could this little girl be his fan now?

That would be interesting.

Ivy was different. The smaller Poison Ivy felt like she was missing a screw. Her eyes didn't change much no matter what she heard.

At a young age, she already had a feeling of treating humans like fertilizer when she grew up.

Not bad, promising!

Thinking in his heart, Qi Shan threw away the toothpick and got up to leave.

“It's about time. It's time to work! Follow if you like, but don't be disappointed when the time comes. Real killing is much more boring than you think!”
