After buying the earth [Comprehensive British and American]

Outskirts of Gotham City, Lions Special Pavilion.

This place used to be a separate residence built by a rich man in the golden age of Gotham. It was specially used to live in when he came to Gotham to deal with business. After the economic crisis, Gotham fell into a long-term depression, and the urban atmosphere gradually deteriorated. The rich man resold it. Annex, never set foot in Gotham again.

As a result, the Lions Special Hall changed hands several times, and finally fell into the hands of the Gotham Charity Foundation, becoming one of its venues for charity auctions or some event evenings.

Bruce Wayne originally didn't want to participate in this charity auction. In fact, most of these auctions will be held in the evening. As a name for celebrities to socialize, all the familiar hypocritical faces in this city will be in their clothes. In the movie, they exchange cups and cups, tacitly exchanging needed information.

However, this charity auction was uncharacteristically, showing violations everywhere.

In particular, this charity auction actually invited half of Gotham's gang leaders, which almost turned this charity auction into a meeting of underground forces-it succeeded.

Bruce smelled the conspiracy, but he had to pretend that he knew nothing and stepped into the conspiracy "willingly".

He thought he had made all the preparations, but he didn't expect that Bruce Wayne was the target of this conspiracy from the beginning.

This was a huge strategic mistake—given that he had only received the news of Arkham’s collective prison escape one second before stepping into the annex, this mistake was particularly painful to his nerves.

As soon as the banquet started, he planned to leave.But the clown swaggered in, like he did every time before, easily kidnapped everyone, and he was immediately targeted by the clown before he could take a few steps back.

"Bruce Wayne?" The clown called out his name, his eyes were like poisonous snakes, fixed on him, "Oh, dear Mr. Wayne, I have been to you... I have known you for a long time-I hope you don't mind the small Snub, I swear from this moment on, you will be my guest of honor for your heroic deed."

Bruce's heart turned cold, but his face showed a proper expression of helplessness and panic: "...what?"

"You funded the little Bat, didn't you?" The Joker laughed, as if the incident itself was funny, "You funded Batman! As a capitalist, but funded a guy who often takes capitalists to court... ...Oh," he looked around hypocritically, glanced at these shocked gentlemen, ladies and gang leaders, lowered his voice, lowered his voice extremely dramatically, and said pitifully, "...I shouldn't expose this in public Secret, isn't it? Now, you're the black sheep... Mr. Wayne."

"Is what he said true? Wayne!" someone called out.

Bruce Wayne stared at the clown in shock, and didn't answer the question: "I don't know what you're talking about, clown, you're crazy!"

"Do you want to deny it?" The clown took a few steps forward, and following his movements, some guests subconsciously took a few steps back, the clown laughed, "Look,...these, rich and poor, they are not as good as you, Mr. Wayne, although you are just a mortal, you have a heroic heart." His tone was full of emotion, but in the next second it turned sharply and became full of malice. "The little bat must think so, so, Let's see... let's see, do you choose a hero who has funded himself and is equally kind, or a bunch of useless... mortals?"

Bruce was still vehemently denying, his face was pale, as if he was afraid to look at the clown's oiled face, but insisted with some kind of persistence: "...No, you can say that I am a hero, but you Can't say I sponsored Batman - I never sponsored him... Batman is known to be the superhero I hate the most!"

The clown's expression turned cold: "Do you think I'm a fool?"

He stared at Bruce Wayne, but the man took a step back, as if he had exhausted all his courage in the confrontation just now, and finally felt the threat to his life like other ordinary people.

The clown felt a little bored.

He originally thought that Bruce Wayne would be a more interesting person, although he didn't think this man would be more interesting than the little bat, but at least... he shouldn't behave like this... mediocre.Such a fellow cannot even arouse his interest in playing with the hearts and minds of the other party with the art of language.

His smile disappeared, and in just a few seconds, the tide of passion and emotion had receded, leaving only the dark, weird and cold rocks standing cold on the spiritual coast.

So he looked at the live broadcast camera and said softly: "Are you looking at me? Little bat? You should look at me, look at me, look at this dark and mediocre world, ah, I miss you so much, but What about you? You looked away and turned to other people, Superman? Wonder Woman? ... Or Bruce Wayne?" His tone was sad and low, and even the ridiculous clown face became unsightly. So funny, but the next moment, he shattered the mask he created and laughed, "WHYSOS-ERIOUS! Now is the time to make a choice!"

He raised the pistol and aimed it sharply at Bruce Wayne, which caused a groan and commotion, and the members of the Clown Gang immediately took their weapons, threateningly suppressing the chaos.

At the same time, Jason Todd in the crowd finally couldn't bear it anymore. He subconsciously pushed the others away and rushed out. He used his body to block Bruce in front of him like a cannonball. His angry face was already flushed. , although he didn't say anything, everyone felt his determination to protect his adoptive father.

Bruce's hand subconsciously pressed Jason's shoulder with a little force.

— This stupid boy!Bruce was suppressing his anger, why was he so impatient!

"Oh, look," the clown grinned, "how touching. Who is this little boy? Your child? Mr. Wayne—you have raised a wonderful son."

He rested his fingers casually on the wrench: yes, he would keep Bruce Wayne for now, but Bruce Wayne's adopted son?His life is worthless.

"No! Please!...I really don't know what you're talking about, if you want to force out Batman," Bruce's eyes flashed with panic, he seemed very afraid that the Joker would actually pull the trigger, so subconsciously Raising his hands, he behaved even worse than his adopted son, as if there was only a cowardly child-like soul in this strong adult male body, "You are really looking for the wrong person, I am not familiar with Batman at all, he Impossible to come for me... I admit, I did give the Justice League some money... But God behold, it's only a few million, does that count as sponsorship? At best, it's just a little pocket money - I signed it randomly Give the check to Superman and forget about it!"

The audience was silent for a second because of the playboy's words.

At this moment, Jason rushed out suddenly and slammed into the clown hard. His behavior caught people off guard, so he actually knocked the clown off his feet. At the same time, his adoptive father - who should protect him but The man protected by him subconsciously turned his head and quickly rushed into the crowd trying to escape. The clown's men immediately shot at him, which caused even greater chaos, screaming and dissatisfaction everywhere. Many gang leaders were not helpless in the first place, but just watched from the sidelines. At this moment, they took out their guns in dissatisfaction, adding fuel to the chaotic situation.

The clown got up. He toppled Jason angrily, and shot him in the leg. Seeing him limp on the ground, he raised his head and said angrily, "Stop! Stop! Stop!"

No one pays attention to him.

In the next second, he pulled off the ill-fitting suit jacket, showing his body that could blow up the entire annex: "I'm fucking telling you all to stop!"

The annex is quiet.

The green-haired lunatic breathed calmly, raised his hands to straighten his hair in silent and terrified eyes, and looked around: "Where's Bruce Wayne?"

"Boss, boss," his men stood up, "Bruce Wayne is gone."

"Oh—so he's gone." The clown repeated this, showing a slight smile, and the other party nodded quickly, as if thinking that he had escaped the catastrophe, but the clown raised his hand without hesitation, and snapped He shot him in the head a few times, until several holes appeared in his head, and then he said in a voice mixed with vomiting and sobbing, "... disappeared? Huh? Haha - I don't like this joke .”

He pointed at the black hole camera: "I know you are watching, bat, I'm sorry, I lost the gift I originally gave you, these idiots ruined my perfect plan... I'm so sad, everything is now Ruined, everything, I'm frustrated and I need to vent because we both know there's no gift more perfect than Wayne, there's no... oh."

His eyes moved down and landed on Jason, the boy was still staring at him like a flame, never giving in, never feeling scared—how interesting, everyone in this auction Fear him, even those gang leaders who have killed countless people, they are all afraid of clowns, but this little boy is different, he doesn't seem to know what fear is, even if he is abandoned by the person he trusts the most.

These thoughts flashed in his mind, but only for a moment.In the eyes of others, he only paused for a second, then bent down, grabbed Jason Todd's hair, pulled him up, and showed him to the camera.

"...Maybe I've found it, a poor substitute, a brave, abandoned little boy who might be going through the worst day of his life, poor boy."

He laughed, full of malice: "...how would you choose? Bat?"
