#76 - Batman is out

With the two top gangs in Gotham at each other’s throats, the other gangs are definitely going to be dragged into this mess.

Penguin is probably worried that his own forces will be involved too.

When the top two fight, the third one is often the first to die.

If the top two are both badly wounded, then the third will be the one to benefit, and may even be the one to bury them both in the end.

So before we die, we must drag you down with us.

Penguin's power is indeed not inferior to the other two, but the principle is the same.

And now, Shimizu actually wants to become that third party.

"What's the specific situation?"

Shimizu tapped the table with his fingers, unhurriedly.

"Kicker Street, Morell Lane, the docks in the Sutter District, have all become war zones!"

Shimizu suddenly looked up.

"Aren't they fighting over the docks? Why are so many of our territories involved?"

Morell Lane was obtained from the deal with Two-Face last time.

It’s understandable that Kicker Street borders the Sons of the Scepter's territory, but Morell Lane is not.

Unless, this war is not just a conflict between the two sides, but is also aimed at me!

Yellow Hair said sheepishly:

"The Two-Face gang was pushed back all the way to Morell Lane for some reason, and then the two sides started fighting there, and our people were also involved."

Shimizu's face visibly darkened.

As expected, it was not beyond his expectations?

Is this a play acted by Harvey Dent and Carmine Falcone together?

Harvey Dent knows Shimizu's strength and will not actively target Shimizu.

With his character, he must be thinking about how to use it.

Use Shimizu's superhuman level of combat power to eliminate Falcone, the biggest obstacle to the development of the Two-Face gang.

Falcone can't figure out Shimizu's details, so he has been restrained until now, but the relationship between the two sides must be antagonistic.

After all, Shimizu and Falcone have already had a very unpleasant conflict because of Maroni's matter. Harvey Dent only needs to stir up the flames a little in the middle, and make the fire a little bigger, and the two sides will definitely fight.

It's just that Harvey Dent's approach is to light the fire himself, and then lead the fire to the Hogg Union.

Using his own Two-Face gang as fuel is enough to make this fire involve everyone, so that even if Shimizu sees it, he will choose to jump in.

Of course, Shimizu can also choose not to jump in, willing to suffer huge losses to his own forces.

A conspiracy!

And it's a conspiracy with great courage.

But obviously, Two-Face is very confident in the strength of his gang after obtaining the Titan serum, and he is also very confident in Shimizu's strength, believing that his side will definitely be able to defeat Falcone this time.

"Harvey Dent, what a calculation, but unfortunately I don't like being used by others."

Shimizu clenched his fists and stood up from the chair.

This time, Harvey Dent wants to use a little territory and tens of millions of dollars like last time to make Shimizu let him go!

"Frans, prepare the car!"

"Yes! Boss!"

Yellow Hair swallowed and glanced at the black gold standing by the wall with fear and fanaticism, then turned and went down.

… …

Gotham Police Department.

"Chief! Another Falcone's affiliated gang has entered the firefight!"

"Front-line personnel have discovered heavy weapons! Request confirmation of instructions, whether to enter immediately!"

"The Two-Face gang has sent out ten more Titan-enhanced humans!"

"The Hogg Union has been found joining the battlefield! What is that? A black high-tech robot?"

Gordon was sweating profusely, looking at the warring gang forces on the surveillance screen.

"Those sons of bitches, how did they make such a commotion again! Let the riot squad pull up a cordon to limit the scope of the battlefield first! The others prepare, I'll lead the team myself later!"

Free and harmonious America, a gunfight in Gotham every day.

When he was a detective, Gordon often led teams to stop gang fights, and even as chief, he often went to the front line.

The citizens of Gotham are greeted by gunfights every few days, and Gordon has plenty of experience fighting gangs.

But this time, with superhuman combat power such as enhanced humans and puppet masters entering, things are not so simple.

While the police were organizing their equipment, Gordon went to the balcony of the Gotham Police Department and turned on the bat signal.

There will be many people who will take advantage of the police force being dispersed at this time to commit crimes.

In the dark night, the silent bat, like a god high above, may make some people who are already afraid of Batman a little afraid.

Maybe it's a waste of effort, but it's better than doing nothing.

"I hope you can show up soon this time, in a few more minutes, I should leave."

Gordon sighed as he looked at the time on his watch, ticking away second by second.

"I'm already here."

A low, hoarse voice came from the water tower behind Gordon.

"Okay, I'm used to your elusiveness, luckily I don't have heart disease."

Gordon turned around helplessly.

"I need your people to seal off the battlefield."

"I'm already having people do that."

"Very well, I want you to focus on sealing off these locations, and here, be alert for other gangs to continue joining the battlefield, don't easily intervene in the battlefield, Harvey Dent's enhanced humans, and Clear Water's mechanical armor, are not ordinary police officers can deal with."

Batman said in a deep voice.

"Okay, okay, I know, but I don't know if we have enough manpower, and those other dangerous people, like Penguin, shouldn't we send people to watch them too? If they join in too, then we definitely won't be able to contain it, this will be a gang war sweeping half of Gotham…"

"I'll handle those, put this on, if needed, I'll use this to notify you."

Batman took out a pocket-sized bat earpiece.

"No need, I still have the one you left me before."

Gordon waved his hand.

"I've changed the channel's encryption password, all you'll hear is noise."

"Okay."

Gordon had no choice but to take the earpiece and put it on, tilting his head.

"Batman, I think it's time for us... uh... to leave."

Gordon just lowered his head and found that Batman had disappeared in front of him.

… …

Morell Lane.

After retreating here, the Two-Face gang turned this place, along with a neighboring community, into a battlefield.
