I just want to live a peaceful life in DC world

Chapter 121 The Real Enemy

"Are you asleep, Jacques?"

"No—not yet."

"Can you talk to me and - I'm a little cold, can I hug you?"

After getting Joaquin's permission, Vicky embraced Joaquin's body like a koala, her exquisite mature body almost completely attached to Joaquin's body.

Jacques understood Vicky's overly intimate behavior. After all, in such an uneasy situation, seeking warmth from the only person he could trust was an instinctive reaction.

"Have you regretted it, Vicky—although it is inappropriate to say this as the party receiving your help, you should not have been involved in this incident. You should know that this situation is just the beginning."

Vicky was originally a well-known reporter and TV personality in Gotham, but because of her relationship with Jacques, not only was her home blown up overnight, but she was reduced to the Gotham sewer together with Jacques.Even judging from the current situation, it is very likely that he will be listed as a wanted object by Amanda Waller, and his life will probably change a lot in the future.

After hearing what Jacques said, Vicky hesitated for a moment, then murmured in Jacques's ear with a volume as thin as a mosquito's voice.

"A bit regretful. But not about helping you. It's my choice to get involved in this kind of incident. It's no wonder to others. It should be said that this is an idea that I have prepared for many years. What I regret is that I have nothing to do with the darkness of Gotham know, and think about Louis Lane."

Louis Lane?Jacques looked at Vicky in surprise, although Vicky couldn't see his expression in the dark.

Jacques knows the name, she is the heroine in the Superman comics and the companion of Superman-Clark Kent.

Of course, she is also a well-known reporter. When Jacques came to this world, he learned about the situation of the world through her news reports.

"I've lost the Pulitzer so many times because of Louis Lane, a reporter for the Daily Planet — she seems to be at the center of the action every time, giving the most eye-catching first-hand reports. But I am different, every time I can only get second-hand information through interviews and investigations afterwards, no matter how hard I try, I can’t surpass her.”

Speaking of this, Vicky's voice clearly contained a hint of envy, or jealousy.

"So when I saw you in Wayne Building, at first I thought that my dream had finally come true—as the focus event of the entire Gotham, and even the entire world, if I can really participate in it and understand the first-hand information , I was able to reach the pinnacle of my career as a journalist”

Vicky's voice became softer and softer, and Jacques could feel the loneliness in her tone.

"However, now it seems that my thoughts are too immature. I didn't expect to actually participate in the incident, and I encountered so many things that I could never imagine in my life. This is not an interview with Arkham's patients or black people. The inmates at Gates Prison can be compared, and Louis Lane can continue to work as a reporter after going through this kind of thing. She has courage and quality that I can't match."

"But compared to her, I'm really inferior - I can only stand in a safe place to fan the flames and attract attention. When I really participate in the center of the incident, I'm just a useless drag"

Jacques listened quietly to Vicky's confession. He understood the reporter's thoughts very well. It is very common for Ye Gong to be fond of dragons.

He could see Vicky's shrewdness and enthusiasm as a reporter, but these were all based on the premise that she could only see the dark surface of Gotham.The real horror of Gotham is not the visible gangsters and criminals, but the intricately controlling the rich and powerful in Gotham—and the government of the country represented by Amanda Waller.

Thinking of this, looking at Vicky in his arms, Jacques suddenly had a new idea in his heart.

"Vicky, you are definitely not useless. It should be said that you have a more powerful weapon in your hands than us superhumans - you can do things that we can't do."

Vicky let out a small exclamation, and Jacques could see through night vision that a blush appeared on her cheeks.

"You're trying to comfort me, right, thank you—but I know very well that I'm just a reporter who sees the wind and the rain."

"No, what I'm talking about is your ability as a reporter to catch the audience's attention and arouse public opinion."

Jacques' voice became serious, and he spoke seriously to the stunned Vicky.

"Have you ever thought about what you plan to do after we escape from this sewer?"

After Vicky thought for a moment, her face showed obvious sadness and sadness.

"When I was a reporter, I met some friends. With their help, if I'm lucky, I should be able to escape to other countries—but I guess I have to hide my name and can no longer appear as a reporter."

"But this is when you are wanted by the government of the bad country-but have you ever thought that you can fight head-on instead of escaping, and directly bring down the things that threaten you?"

"Take it down. Ah!! This, how is this possible—"

Vicky let out an exclamation of disbelief, then stammered.

"That is the most powerful and dangerous organization on the planet, and has the most terrifying intelligence capabilities and public opinion control capabilities. I am just a humble little reporter, how could I do it?"

"Depending on your ability to amplify facts, grab attention — and truth."

Jacques said without hesitation, if Vicky could see his expression, she would see the sternness and determination on his face.

"My credo is to live a peaceful life and get rid of all the troublesome factors that make my life uneasy-as long as they come to my door, then there is only one thing I need to do."

Jacques knew very well that although most of them were done by the witch, the deaths of those soldiers of the Mildew Army must be counted on his head, and there is also the damage caused by Harley Quinn under the control of the witch.
It is no longer possible to be a little hero in peace and stability like before.

If this is the case, it is better to break the can and smash it, and do it more absolutely, and get rid of the final factor that really threatens you!

It's crazy, and it doesn't look like it's going to work.After all, what he has to face is the most powerful government on the planet, and this kind of thing is difficult to accomplish even with superhuman abilities——

But now it seems that the breakthrough may lie in the woman he is holding in his arms.

"Vicky, your ability as a reporter is your greatest superpower and your most powerful weapon. You should be very clear that in this country, it is not uncommon for a reporter to cause a high-level change."

"You mean Minato—but such a thing needs to be done."

"Conclusive evidence, enough evidence to shake this regime."

Jacques narrowed his eyes, and there was a hint of coldness in his voice.

"You don't have to worry about this. The evidence will be found. After all, in a sense, I am the most important physical evidence."
