Chapter 42: Hatred does not last overnight (part two in one, please vote)

The reason why Depp went to Selena's house was simple. He needed an alibi to prevent Bruce from guessing that he was Iron Fist.

After all, if Bruce asked about Gordon, then he would definitely know that he was there during the day.

After reporting to the doorman, Depp walked into Selena's villa with great fanfare.

Knowing that Depp was visiting in the middle of the night, Selena was surprised and asked: "Is there any action?"

Depp nodded, but did not tell Selena his plan.

After all, this is his own business, and he doesn't want to drag Selena into it.

In the early hours of the morning, Waylon took turns causing trouble at Maroney's nightclubs and bars.

In a place like this, even if it is just a conflict between one or two people at first, it is likely to turn into a melee for everyone without even realizing it.

Under normal circumstances, those gangsters watching the scene would easily deal with the troublemakers.

Unexpectedly, the thing he made turned out to be useless trash. Maroni was very angry that he hadn't been able to touch a hair of that kid for so long.

After the illusion was activated, the shooting of Maroni's men was suddenly dispersed.

It’s the monster created by Hugo Strange, Depp thought to himself, the two families have indeed united!

These three-meter-tall weirdos are almost all mental patients that Maroni paid to buy from Arkham. They suffered inhuman torture in Hugo's underground laboratory, and eventually lost themselves and became the terrifying monsters they are today.

appearance.

Depp is still quite afraid of rocket launchers. If he gets hit by one of these, he will almost certainly die.

"Sorry, I was passing by."

One bite and your energy will be restored!

"The other party wants to catch a turtle in a jar!"

He immediately activated the flamethrower in the center of his palm and stabilized his body.

After all, these guys have no intelligence and only possess the instinct of destruction. Apart from strength, they are far inferior to Depp in other aspects.

Hugo's white research suit reveals powerful muscles and a paranoid and evil heart.

Depp looked at Maroney condescendingly at this time and did not answer his question, just like his attitude towards himself before.

After saying that, Depp rushed aside.

He shouted to the group of monsters: "Make a way for Mr. Maroni."

After seeing Depp's power, these guys no longer have the idea of ​​​​confronting him.

Closing the restaurant window, he looked at the people on the other side of the table.

Although his words were suspected of scolding himself, Depp said that he had no time to mince words and just hoped that he could find an opportunity to hide behind the monsters before the rockets arrived and let them serve as human shields for him.

Hugo wanted to kill Maroni directly, but he didn't know how to run a gang.

There are more and more monsters around, and this is even when Maroni's men have not participated in the battle.

With the energy he can control, he can charge the mechanical arm up to two times, plus the remaining two micro-missiles, Depp estimates that he can kill up to four monsters.

When Depp saw this, he knew that he had underestimated Maroney.

He said to himself: "I thought Batman was the only person with perfect genes, but I didn't expect to meet another one here."

Selena pulled Maroni to her feet, stepped on his face with her high heels, and said, "Who allowed you to touch him?"

After Selena heard this, she didn't dare to kill the gang boss of Gotham East District rashly. After all, in her eyes, Lip's life was much more important than this guy's.

The sharp claws popped out from her fingertips, and Selena kept clawing at the top of the monster's head with thorns.

Depp jumped up, flames spurted out from all around the mechanical arm of his right hand, and with the help of huge kinetic energy, he punched the monster in front of him in the head and smashed it to pieces.

At this time, most people have already fallen asleep, and the shops on the street have closed their shutters.

Maroney could only ask his men to go to nightclubs scattered in different places to calm things down as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Depp has the fighting skills he got from Bruce and the physical flexibility talent of Selena.

But Waylon would not let them calm down the chaos so easily. Under his leadership and guidance, the people in the nightclub and the gangsters fought together.

Just when Maroni's men were about to open fire, a black whip knocked the rocket launchers from their hands.

"Believe me, you will be proud of them." Hugo said. Under the moonlight, two humanoid monsters close to three meters behind him slowly walked over.

Upon seeing this, Depp said: "You shouldn't have come! This is too dangerous!"

To be honest, he also feels extremely disgusted with these disgusting monsters he has created now.

But the effect of Jonathan's first version of fear gas is indeed not very good, and the range of effect is not very large. The effect will weaken quickly if it is farther away.

As soon as the hole was opened, Depp, who was surrounded by it, saw two of Maroney's minions picking up the rocket launcher just now, and the target was himself.

Maroney in the middle waved his hand, and two boys behind him walked out with rocket launchers on their shoulders. They knelt on one knee and pointed the barrels at Depp.

Seeing this, Maroni said dissatisfiedly: "Okay Hugo, let your babies get out of the way. I think my men are more useful."

The first wave of men had just emerged, and Depp had already pointed his gloves at these people.

Although there is still more than half a bottle of life essence concentrate in the system space, he has no time to drink it now.

However, although Depp has regained his physical strength and spirit, the robotic arm on his hand is almost overloaded.

Fortunately, most of the monsters here were also wiped out. Hugo Strange saw that something was wrong and immediately called on the remaining monsters to escape together.

Selena's arrival helped him relieve a lot of stress, and he could finally take a sip of the concentrated essence of life.

These two monsters could hardly be called human beings. They were three meters tall, their bodies were naked, and their bodies were covered with disgusting red tumors.

To charge the beam cannon, you need to activate a large amount of lightning yourself, which makes Depp a little helpless.

The opponent was heavily outnumbered, so Depp immediately activated the illusion function on his helmet.

"Unless you want to grow seven or eight ears!"

This is not what he thinks perfect genes look like.

Just before he was about to shoot, a three-meter-tall monster rushed over from the side and stood in front of Maroni and his group.

Seeing the wonderful expression on Maroney's face, Depp's face under the mask was full of ridicule.

Hugo on the side looked at Depp who was fighting the monster man, his eyes sparkling.

His mouth kept babbling, and he seemed to have lost the ability to speak.

These monsters are so powerful that ordinary firearms cannot stop them from attacking, and fear gas is useless against these guys, because these walking zombies have no such emotion in their hearts.

After receiving the news from Maroni, Hugo immediately dispatched all the monsters he created to support him.

Upon seeing this, Depp immediately ran sideways, and the air wave generated by the explosion behind him pushed him forward.

And they don't rely on sight, but rely on hearing and perception to act, which makes Depp's illusion invalid.

Maroni, who was in a coma, also woke up from the pain.

Depp used his strength again and smashed the head of a monster man again, gasping and saying.

The nightclubs and bars under it called Maroni one after another, hoping that the boss could send some people to reinforce him. The situation was getting out of control.

"Damn it, are Falcone's people here to cause trouble?"

"Whether I come or not is my own business." Selina jumped on another monster, pointed one hand at the top of her head and said, "You should equip your earphones with more missiles.

Two is too few!”

He copied five or six illusions of himself around him to confuse Maroni and his men and reduce the pressure he faced.

"Oh?" Maroni immediately became interested after hearing this and said: "Maybe the soldiers you mentioned can be used tonight. I always feel that there is something unusual today."

Maroni grabbed the whip wrapped around his neck with both hands and said through gritted teeth: "If you strangle me to death, then he will be smashed into meat pies by those monsters! He is a human being after all, and his strength will run out sooner or later.

"

You simple-minded guys just need to provide me with funds.

The whip struck from the side again and wrapped around Maroni's neck.

The nearest gangsters were immediately affected by the poisonous gas, their eyes filled with fear, and some even screamed like crazy and fired randomly at the surroundings.

Maroni cursed. He was keenly aware that things were a little abnormal tonight. His family's property was in trouble. It was definitely not an accident.

As the test tube shattered, a pale yellow poisonous gas spread.

Upon seeing this, Maroni immediately hid behind his men, surrounded by a circle of minions to protect him.

This made Maroney feel like a mouse caught by a cat. He was being held in the opponent's hand and being played with, but there was nothing he could do.

Depp knew that he had made a mistake. Although he had guessed that Maroney and Hugo would join forces, he did not expect that Hugo's experiments would progress so quickly and that he would have created so many monsters through his inhumane genetic experiments.

This allowed him to move dangerously among many monsters, but he was not attacked once.

Depp used a robotic arm to grab Maroney's neck and lift him up. When the outermost metal of the robotic arm came into contact with Maroney's skin, there was a sizzling sound and the smell of burning skin.

When his own life was threatened, he begged for mercy just like everyone else.

Two micro-missiles were shot out from the mechanical arms, with a loud bang, directly blowing up more than a dozen gangsters.

Only Maroni, who was unconscious on the ground, and his confused younger brothers were left.

"How is your genetic engineering research going?" Maroney asked.

Even through the protective layer, Depp could clearly feel the heat coming from the robotic arm.

Upon seeing this, Maroney immediately guessed that the test tube that Depp just threw in was some kind of poison gas.

Although this method is a bit more laborious than heavy fire bombing, it has to be done.

Seeing that the boss was subdued instantly, Maroni's men did not dare to act rashly.

He is now very dissatisfied with Hugo. He spent a lot of money to fund this guy's research.

At the same time, three test tubes containing fear gas were thrown into the restaurant by Depp.

Depp dodged the monster's attack, raised his hand and fired a mini-missile to blow his head into pieces.

The smelly mucus got on Depp's hands.

Hugo was feeling crazy at this time. He thought that if he could catch this guy named Iron Fist and use it as experimental material, then his genetic experiments would definitely reach another level.

The gangsters around him immediately aimed their guns at Depp.

He immediately covered his nose, shot the crazy men to death, and said, "Chase him out! That guy threw a gas bomb in the restaurant."

"How disgusting!"

Seeing this, Maroni kicked his men away and picked up the rocket launcher himself.

Moreover, wisps of steam slowly floated out from the metal gaps in the gloves.

At the same time, two micro-missiles bombarded from the side, blowing the two monsters into pieces.

Then he raised his hand and flicked it, and two syringes filled with fear gas accurately hit the two gunners.

But there was a restaurant with bright lights and lots of people inside, obviously a lot of people gathered there.

The bullets of Maroni's men missed again.

At this time, Depp really wished he was wearing the full version of the suit so that he could fly directly into the air.

On the other side, Depp, who received the news from Waylon, put on his helmet and gloves, said goodbye to Selena, and left under the night.

The monster blocked the beam cannon for Maroni, but also lost his own life.

Thunder and lightning surged in his hands, and the beam cannon was immediately filled with energy.

After the first monster died, a large group of these monsters gathered around Depp.

If Maroney is killed, it means that he will lose a steady source of funds. He still understands the principle of sitting back and having nothing.

His target was the home of the Maroney crime syndicate, the only serious restaurant.

Pulling the trigger, two rockets flew toward Depp with trailing flames.

"You're here." Maroni said calmly.

Suddenly, the glass door of the restaurant was shattered by a metal arm, and Depp's figure appeared outside the door.

Hugo looked at Maroni with cold eyes. Although he was not satisfied with his research results, it was not the turn of a vulgar gangster to point fingers.

But he never thought that if it were him and the group of men around him, it would only take three or four monsters to kill them all.

The hand holding Maroni's neck slowly tightened, and Depp really had murderous intentions this time.

Depp walked towards Maroney step by step, and Maroney's younger brothers retreated back to the restaurant step by step until the boss was completely exposed to Depp.

This gangster who dominates Gotham, this outlaw who thinks he is superior and has control over the lives and deaths of many people.

"It seems that I will have to install a water bottle and straw on the helmet next time."

Hearing this, Depp slightly relaxed the force in his hand. Just when Maroney thought the other party was going to let him go, Depp tightened his hand again.

When the monsters heard Maroni's instructions, they all showed confused expressions. After some painful thinking, they moved their huge bodies and opened an opening in the direction of Maroni.

While avoiding the opponent's attack, Depp raised his robotic arm and pointed the particle beam cannon at Maroney's hand.

Maroney was really scared at this time. He said with all his strength before Depp squeezed his throat completely: "Please, let me go."

She looked in the direction of Depp, thought for a moment, then kicked Maroni unconscious, then jumped up with her legs and rode on the shoulders of a monster man.

Hugo pushed up his glasses, showed his yellow teeth and said, "It's almost successful. Although there are still some side effects, I can already provide you with some unusual soldiers."

Depp punched the monster man back and rolled backwards quickly.

The man had a bald head, but had a slight beard, and wore round glasses, looking sinister and cunning. He was none other than Hugo Strange.

Almost all the guys in the Maroney Gang have countless lives on their hands, and Depp kills them without any guilt.

Come on!

He guided the lightning to charge his gloves, and killed a monster with another beam cannon.

"Who are you anyway? We should have no grudges."

Inside the door, Maroni was also sitting on an armchair, facing the door.

Depp truly understands the importance of air superiority this time.

Perhaps this is the reason why Falcone has always been able to hold down Maroni. The gap between the two is indeed huge.

Just when Depp was about to end this cat-and-mouse game and crush Maroney's throat, a familiar voice appeared.

"Let him go, Iron Fist."

It was Bruce Wayne. After rescuing Gordon, he immediately came to Maroni's base camp.
