Volume 2 Honoring Robin Chapter 36 The Awesome Kite Man is about to start the legendary story of Gotham villains
Arkham Asylum, the super villain carnival has come to an end.
After these lunatics burned more than a dozen people to death, they began to get bored with their newly acquired freedom and prepared to go out to have some fun, but it was obvious that the Assassin's League warriors guarding the door would not let them leave easily.
"The League of Assassins has fulfilled its promise to you. Now it is your turn to fulfill your promise to us."
A commander wearing a retro cloak to cover his figure said this to the super villains, and then this guy proposed a plan of "Gotham's destruction" and successfully aroused the interest of the villains.
They began gearing up to assemble a makeshift team to get the job done and divide up control of the city after the war.
The League of Assassins does not seem to intend to immediately send super villains into the now chaotic Gotham City. They are happy to see the villains gather here to discuss "future events."
Not only that, more villains were summoned by this group of "Gotham's top stars" to Arkham Asylum to "join in the celebration."
While they were discussing heatedly, in the area on the top of the asylum that had been converted into a helipad, the tall and thin commander of the Assassin's League was waiting with the robed Mr. "Sandstorm" for the arrival of the real leader of the Assassin's League.
At the front of this heavily guarded area, the "Scarlet Knight" wearing a red helmet and mechanical-style combat uniform was waiting there for instructions on the next move.
“He’s very good.”
Mr. Sandstorm, wearing a mask, looked at the Scarlet Knight in the distance and said to the tall and thin commander beside him in an appreciative tone:
"He has great potential! After his resurrection from the dead, he has abandoned the hypocritical 'justice'. His body has been strengthened by the water of the Lazarus Pool. He is like a walking killing machine with extremely advanced tactical qualities.
Perhaps I can take him with me after this operation is complete."
"It would be his pleasure, my lord."
The tall and thin assassin commander said respectfully:
"Being able to join your organization means being able to escape from this dull and sad reality and travel into the truly vast world, not to mention having a strong person like you to guide him forward.
As one of his mentors, I feel happy for Jason.
but……
You also promised to make room for another child in your team."
"Of course, Damian."
Mr. Sandstorm laughed and said:
"Please rest assured, Ms. Talia. During the many collaborations with the Assassin's League, I have seen the potential your son possesses. Carefully trained by the King of Assassins, he will definitely shine in the future.
After the Assassin's League rules the world, I will take him away as promised.
But he is too young.
It will take time for his potential to be realized, so I will put him in my reserve team first.
Please don't worry, ma'am.
I can guarantee that his teammates are all top talents from all over the world. In fact, if you are worried about your child, I would also be happy to reserve a commander position for you in the logistics servitor army that I am about to form.
Although it may seem scary, I believe you will like this kind of life."
"Forget it. After my father fulfilled his long-cherished wish and left with you, the Assassin's League still needs a leader in this world."
The tall and thin assassin commander declined Mr. Sandstorm's invitation. She said:
"My staying here is also serving our common interests."
"That's true. Every vassal world needs a capable and decisive ruler. Your wisdom and decisiveness are indeed very suitable."
Mr. Sandstorm doesn't disappoint either.
As a B-level member, he has too many choices in terms of team members and his standards are very high, unlike a certain captain of Team K who is "hungry and indiscriminate".
He had been following orders in this dangerous world for several months. After successfully inviting Lei Xiaogu, the King of Assassins of the Assassin's League and the Leader of Demons, to his main team, he had lost interest in other options that were not "outstanding" enough or too dangerous.
Being a Class B personnel in the Star Club is actually quite an embarrassing situation.
Let’s just talk about member recruitment.
It is difficult for them to recruit top-notch warriors like Wonder Woman, Cyborg and even Green Arrow, and they don't like the group of super villains who are holding a meeting below.
Not to mention those tough guys like Kryptonian Superman or Dr. Manhattan, who would be defeated even by the three mentors of the Star Society, and they dare not even touch them.
The best team members are always the ones you train yourself!
This is a truth recognized by the captains of each team in the Star Club. Unfortunately, how can there be no loss in the process of constantly climbing to become stronger?
Therefore, for a captain, collecting team members is a never-ending task. It is like drawing cards. Sometimes you cannot rely solely on financial resources but also on luck.
For example, Jason Todd, the Scarlet Knight with great potential, surprised Mr. Sandstorm. As for Damian, the bad-tempered brat, Mr. Sandstorm didn't really care about him.
In his opinion, he was just a naughty child who took advantage of the protection of his grandfather and mother to do whatever he wanted.
If it weren't for the plea of this graceful lady, he would never have agreed to accept Damian.
At this moment, Mr. Sandstorm is fantasizing about waiting for the mission to be completed and causing chaos in the world. By then, high-level teams from the Star Society will come in to clean up and advance. As one of the pioneers of this world, he may be able to choose this A-level world as his new base world if he works hard.
By then, I will have the foundation to be promoted to A-level member.
Alas, this line of work is so demanding, with endless tasks that seem to have no end.
"My father has entered Gotham City airspace."
A few minutes later, the tall and thin assassin commander reported to Mr. Sandstorm:
"Your 'cargo' is being escorted by him personally. You will be able to see it in ten minutes."
"Not bad, very good."
Mr. Sandstorm nodded with satisfaction.
He felt that his dream might come true tonight, and he should gather the team members who were currently active in other places and bring them to Gotham to take the final step.
But before going to gather the team members, his partner asked softly:
"Are there any of the unique people below that catch your eye?"
"them?"
Mr. Sandstorm shrugged, showing a disdainful smile under his starry sky mask, and said with a curled lip:
"Take them all. People in our line of work will never have too much cannon fodder. I will hand them over to your father, the commander-in-chief."
"Well, I'm going to plant micro-bombs in them right now."
The tall and thin commander said softly:
"I promise the cannon fodder will be ready when you leave."
After saying this, she watched Mr. Sandstorm turn into a ball of sand and disappear into the night of Arkham. Talia al Ghul raised her head, and a gleam of light flashed in her beautiful eyes under her hood.
After a few seconds, she whispered:
"Damian... all a mother can do for you is..."
"Sir! There's a guy who calls himself 'Kite Man' who brought us the latest news!"
A fully armed elite warrior of the Assassin's League came over as fast as a ghost. He whispered to Ms. Talia:
"Batman has appeared! Just now, Kite Man saw with his own eyes that he, James Gordon, and a group of assembled police officers rushed into Wayne Building and rescued the hostages there!"
"Batman? Impossible!"
Talia's face changed slightly and said:
"There's no way to cure his poison, Jason!"
She turned back and called out to the Scarlet Knight:
"A person who looks like Batman has appeared. Get ready! If it is really him, he will definitely come here."
"Click"
The high-tech pistol made a slight sound as the safety was released. He nodded, retreated silently, and disappeared on the top floor.
Talia breathed a sigh of relief and asked the assassin warrior behind her:
"Where's Damian?"
"The young master went to the Batcave. He joined Bane's action team and was going to settle his dispute with the Bat Family there."
The cold warrior said coldly:
"Also, mistress, the mercenary you favored, 'Death Knell', is currently working on a commission from Lex Group and has rejected our invitation again.
But he said that as long as the money is enough, cooperation is possible.”
"Damn it! Let's put the matter of Deathstroke aside for now."
Talia clenched her fists with a headache and said:
"Let Damian come back immediately! This brat is really not well behaved at all!"
At the same time, the "Kite Man" put away his slightly funny kite and swaggered into Arkham Asylum under the escort of several assassin warriors.
He saw Two-Face, wearing his signature black and white suit, talking on a platform in a hall still littered with charred corpses. On the map of Gotham behind Two-Face, the burning city was divided into many large and small parts.
It's like an auction.
The bastards here are dreaming about a city they will rule after tonight.
"Charles" walked towards the bustling venue and searched among the crowd. A few seconds later, when he sat down, a message was sent out from his watch through the secure communication of the Bat Network No. 2 that had just been activated.
"Yo, look who's here! Gotham's rising criminal star! The Kite Man dude who single-handedly massacred the Falcone family is finally here!"
Two-Face's strange voice echoed in the meeting hall, and he shouted:
“Stand up, Charles! Although you used to be a poor wretch who followed the clown to eat some leftovers, now you have proved yourself worthy of being one of us.
bring it on!
Tell us, which territory do you want in the new Gotham ruled by the "League of Evil"? "
The Kite Man coughed.
He stood up and made a simple gesture as usual, saying:
"I don't care, Harvey. Don't assign me a bad place. I think my current Iceberg Bar is pretty good. By the way, where is my former boss?"
Why isn’t Zhou Ke’er here?
Wouldn't he never miss this kind of fun?"
"Zhou Ke'er? Hehe."
Two-Face and a group of super villains laughed:
“That guy is in trouble, look up, Kite Man, your former boss is hanging from the flagpole, and those black ninjas said they will kill him at daybreak.
Tsk tsk, how miserable.
But that's a good thing.
This means one less jerk trying to take our territory."
——
"The message was received."
In the two Batmobiles speeding out of the city, the members who were preparing to retake the Batcave were now sorting out their equipment. Nightwing, who was driving, suddenly said something and read out the message sent by Kite Man:
"Killer Croc, Clayface, Mr. Freeze, Riddler, and Solomon Grundy are not in Arkham. They are likely to be sent by the League of Assassins to the city or the Batcave to assist in defense.
We have to be careful to prevent attacks.”
"What about the Batcave?"
Mason, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, asked. Nightwing shook his head and said:
"Barbara can't break through the defense system that is being rewritten by herself. We don't know how many enemies are there. We can only do our best."
"Well, it looks like we'll have to come up with some unexpected tricks."
Mason blinked, took out his cell phone, dialed a number, and said to the other end:
"Selena, you and Charles go ahead and scout. Be careful not to get exposed."
"Roger that, Mason."
The flying motorcycle running parallel to the two Batmobiles in the sky immediately accelerated. Catwoman, wearing ruby goggles, kept stepping on the accelerator to fly towards Wayne Manor first. While driving one-handed, she took out the "Kitten" given to her by Mason from her bag.
"Ms. Mag, are you ready to feast?"
Catwoman grinned, causing the real Kite Man sitting in the bed of the truck to shudder.
He whispered:
"The boss has told us that if we want to use them, we must set up the scene properly and disguise it as the traces of the 'three-headed dog'."
"Stop talking nonsense. My sister is a professional in this area."
Selina snorted, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, and she whispered:
"I held Barbara in my arms when she was a little girl, and these bastards dared to take advantage of that child. I will make them pay the price.
Charles, get your two big dogs ready too!"
"I can't restrain them."
Kite Man, who was holding the magic suitcase in his arms , knew what Catwoman was talking about. He said with some concern:
"If we let them escape during the chaos, we'll be finished."
"Shut up! I will be responsible for collecting them, and you just need to provide support at the critical moment."
Catwoman curled her lips and said:
"Also, tonight you are the 'three-headed dog', understand? Put on your black robe, and remember to show up in front of the Bat Family to make your presence felt.
And don't forget to recite those embarrassing lines Mason gave you."
Behind the members of Team K who were preparing to do something bad, the two Batmobiles were also accelerating. Nightwing's car No. 1 was in contact with car No. 2 driven by Alfred, the "Butler".
They planned to adopt a dispersed approach, relying on the Batmobile's powerful defense and firepower to directly break into the Batcave.
"What do you think Barbara and I should do in the future?"
Nightwing suddenly asked when approaching the battlefield, causing Mason, who was loading a box of cursed bullets into the gun chamber, to be stunned for a moment. The young man curled his lips and said:
"I was only 17 years old, I had never been in a relationship, and the woman I was closest to was Selina Kyle, who was 20 years older than me.
Are you sure you want to ask for my opinion now?"
"When I'm with I always subconsciously ignore your age, Mason. You act like you're more mature than me."
Nightwing smiled bitterly and said:
"Let's talk about it. Just think of it as a way to relax before the battle."
"Well, my suggestion is that we should separate for a while."
Mason shrugged.
Turning his head to look at the dark forest passing by outside the car window, he said:
"Give Barbara some time to think it over, and don't force her to make a choice. The rift between her and Batman needs to be healed by themselves, and you can only make things worse.
After all, it's impossible for you to leave the Bat Family for love, so..."
"Snapped"
As the young man spoke, he suddenly noticed that the collar pin on his collar was shining. He immediately reached out and pushed the steering wheel controlled by Nightwing outwards.
At the same time, a blue light shot out from the forest on the side, brushed past the Batmobile and froze the trees and the entire road on the opposite side.
The Batmobile's left front wheel also froze while operating at high speed.
This sudden situation caused the speeding car to lose control immediately, but the Batmobile's excellent self-control system prevented it from overturning and instead it crashed into the roadside.
Mason punches the Batmobile's eject switch.
The moment the vehicle lost control and hit a big tree on the road, the Batmobile rushed out at high speed, carrying Nightwing away, and Car No. 2 also nimbly avoided the explosions that kept lighting up on the road.
When they wanted to stop and help, Mason's deep voice and sudden gunfire were heard in the communication of others.
He said:
"We've been discovered. Our concealment tactics have failed. Let's rush in before they can prepare! I'll deal with these guys and come later! Don't stay and get in the way, everyone.
My potions and bullets have no eyes."
