American comics: Play as Kizaru and get off work in three seconds

She hadn't expected Bruce to know so much, and she certainly hadn't expected him to expose her lies so directly.

She looked up at Bruce with pleading eyes, hoping he would give her a chance to explain.

But Bruce ignored her gaze and continued speaking:

"Qin Yan is right. To protect this city, we must understand all possible threats."

I have been working tirelessly to find the killers lurking in the shadows and protect the peace of this city.

At this point, Bruce sighed softly, a hint of weariness and helplessness flashing in his eyes.

He continued:
"And Sylvie, you actually tried to deceive me."

I need more experience to see the darkness in people's hearts.

As Sylvie listened to Bruce's words, a wave of guilt and remorse washed over her.

She no longer had the face to face Bruce.

She lowered her head, silently enduring the condemnation and pain in her heart.

Bruce then turned to look at Selena, their eyes meeting in mid-air, reaching a kind of unspoken understanding.

They walked and talked as if nothing had happened.

Sylvie, on the other hand, was left behind to face this sudden turn of events alone.

"Bruce..."

Sylvie couldn't help but shout, her voice trembling with despair.

Bruce stopped walking, but did not turn around.

He simply said in a calm yet firm voice:

"Sylvie, you have made your choice."

Now, you need to take responsibility for your actions.

After saying that, Bruce and Selena disappeared at the end of the dimly lit corridor.

Sylvie stood there, watching the figure gradually disappear into the distance, her heart filled with endless regret and despair.

“Why…why did it turn out like this?”

Sylvie murmured to herself, her eyes filled with confusion and pain.

She had lost Bruce's trust and her right to have a foothold in this city.

She didn't know what to do, or how to face life.

She felt as if her world had collapsed and everything had become meaningless.

However, at that moment, a voice rang in her ear:

“Sylvie, you are not alone.”

Sylvie turned around in surprise and saw a familiar figure standing behind her.

That person was Qin Yang, who was once one of her most trusted friends.

"Qin Yang... what are you doing here?"

Sylvie asked in surprise.

Qin Yang looked at Sylvie, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He said:
"I've been keeping an eye on things concerning you."

I know you didn't mean to deceive Bruce.

You've simply been drawn into this complex conspiracy and can't extricate yourself.

Hearing Qin Yang's words, Sylvie felt a surge of emotion.

She said:
"Thank you... thank you for believing in me."

Qin Yang shook his head and said:
"You're welcome."

I just hope you understand that no matter what happens, never give up on yourself.

You still have a chance to start over.

As Sylvie listened to Qin Yang's words, a glimmer of hope gradually appeared in her heart.

She said:
"I will... I will definitely start over."

After saying this, Sylvie and Qin Yang walked out of the dimly lit corner together.

Their figures gradually disappeared under the lights, but their hearts were filled with anticipation and courage.

Meanwhile, Bruce and Selena were walking home.

My heart is heavy, but I am also very determined.

I bear the heavy responsibility of protecting this city, and I cannot be negligent or negligent in any way.

"Bruce, what do you think Sylvie will do?"

Selena suddenly asked.

Bruce was silent for a moment, then said:
"I have no idea.

But I hope she can understand her mistakes and face them bravely.

Selena nodded and said:

I hope so too.

After all, everyone makes mistakes sometimes.

The important thing is that we learn from our mistakes and become stronger and braver.

Bruce looked at Selena, a hint of admiration and gratitude flashing in his eyes.

He said:
"you're right.

We must work together to protect the peace and tranquility of this city.

After saying that, Bruce and Selena quickened their pace and continued walking towards home.

Their figures gradually disappeared into the night, but their hearts were filled with confidence and determination.

Meanwhile, in some corner of the city, Sylvie and Qin Yang were also working hard in silence.

Selena sat in the dimly lit room, toying with a strand of hair in her hand, a playful look in her eyes.

"Bruce, your sudden idea is quite interesting."

She spoke softly, her tone carrying a subtle tenderness.

Bruce stood by the window, his gaze piercing through the night, already seeing Gotham, a city shrouded in mystery and crime.

“Selena, I’ve always felt that to understand a place, you have to experience it for yourself.”

How could I miss Gotham, a place brimming with legend?

His tone was firm, and his eyes gleamed with a longing for the unknown.

Selena smiled slightly, a nonchalant smile playing on her lips.

"Oh? So how do you plan to experience it? Are you going to deal with gangsters yourself, or become a superhero?"

Her words were somewhat teasing, but her eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Bruce turned around and looked at Selena with tender eyes.

No, I won't take the risk.

But I will try to feel the pulse of Gotham as an ordinary person, to understand the people and their lives there.

His words were full of determination, indicating that he was fully prepared.

Selena shrugged, her smile widening.

"Alright, since that's what you think, I'll go with you."

However, you must promise me that you will be careful and avoid getting into unnecessary trouble.

Her tone carried a hint of concern, but even more so, it reflected her trust in Bruce.

Bruce nodded, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I will."

Besides, with you by my side, what do I have to worry about?

His words carried a hint of teasing, but more than anything, they revealed his dependence on Selena.

The two exchanged a smile, having reached a tacit understanding.

Next, they began packing their bags, preparing to embark on their journey to Gotham.

In the city of Gotham, a storm of public opinion is quietly brewing.

Gangsters, politicians, journalists, ordinary citizens... everyone is busy pursuing their own interests.

Oswald Copperfield, the Penguin, a former mob boss, now stands before the public as mayor.

However, his rule was not stable, and Gotham's public opinion was full of doubts and accusations against him.

“Although I was once a member of the mob, I have always considered myself a part of Gotham.”

"Yet, a mob boss like Gallagher was able to kidnap a former mayor, order murders, threaten witnesses, bribe judges, and even sit on the mayor's seat. This is a disgrace to Gotham!" the Penguin declared indignantly in a public setting.

His voice was loud and powerful, as if he wanted to pour out all the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart.

Reporters in the audience raised their cameras and recorders to capture this exciting moment.

"What evidence do you have to prove Gallagher's guilt?"

A reporter asked curiously.

The penguin sneered, his eyes flashing with anger.

"Evidence? I am the evidence!"

He shouted excitedly, "Gallervin ordered Fish Moon to kidnap my mother! If it weren't for the timely intervention of the Gotham brothers, my mother would be dead by now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the reporters below the stage erupted in an uproar.

They raised a variety of questions, trying to extract more juicy information from the penguin.

Although everyone knew that Fish Moon was dead and the Penguin's accusations were beyond redemption, this topic ignited Gotham's public opinion like a fire.

Reporters covered the incident extensively, and the public discussed it extensively, plunging the entire city into a massive storm.

Meanwhile, the Penguin gradually emerged as a prominent figure in this storm.

He used his influence and connections to continuously expose Galervin's crimes, winning more and more public support and trust.

"We can no longer let people like Gallup continue to rule Gotham!"

In a passionate speech, Penguin declared, "He is a cancer in Gotham and must be eradicated!"

His voice was full of power and determination to save the entire city from darkness.

The audience applauded and cheered, expressing their support and trust in the penguins.

Meanwhile, other families in Gotham began to stir.

Having long harbored resentment towards Gellervin's rule, the Penguins, seeing them raising the banner of opposition against Gellervin, have begun to secretly support him.

"The penguins are our hope!"

A family leader said privately, "Only he can save Gotham from Gallagher's clutches!"

So these families began to operate behind the scenes, providing the Penguins with funding, weapons, and intelligence support.

Their joining allowed the Penguins to rapidly grow in power, becoming an undeniable force in Gotham.

At the heart of this storm, Bruce and Selena have quietly arrived in Gotham.

Dressed in ordinary clothes, I mingled in the crowd, trying to feel the pulse of the city as an ordinary person.

"This is Gotham..."

Bruce looked around, his eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation.

Selena, on the other hand, cautiously observed the people and environment around her.

"Be careful, this is not a safe place."

She whispered a reminder.

Bruce nodded and began talking to the people around him.

He tried to learn the truth about Gotham and the voices of the people from their mouths.

What do you think of the penguin?

Bruce asked the young man.

"Penguin?"

The man paused for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't really like him."

Although he has consistently opposed Gallup, I feel he also has his own motives and ambitions.

Bruce smiled slightly and continued talking to the man.

He tried to glean more information from the other person's words.

Selena, on the other hand, observed quietly from the side.

Her gaze was as sharp as an eagle's, capable of seeing into the heart of every person.

She noticed some gang members watching her from the shadows, and a sense of unease crept into her heart.

"Looks like we need to be careful."

She whispered to Bruce.

Bruce nodded and began to observe his surroundings and the crowd more carefully.

Danger lurks everywhere in this city.

Over the course of several days, Bruce and Selena began to delve into the streets and alleys of Gotham.

I witnessed impoverished and hungry people begging in the streets; I saw gang members secretly trading drugs and weapons; I saw the collusion and struggle between the police and criminals…

All of this shocked and angered Bruce.

He realized that Gotham was not a simple place, but a city full of complexity and contradictions.

"We cannot just watch this city fall into ruin."

Bruce said to Selena, "We have to do something."

Selena looked at him, her eyes shining with determination.

"What are you going to do?"

she asked.

Bruce took a deep breath and then said:
"I'm planning to go find the Penguin."

I want to see what his plans and intentions are.

Selena frowned, and said with some concern:
"However, the Penguin is not a simple person."

He has close ties to the underworld; it could be dangerous for you to go to him.

Bruce shook his head, his eyes filled with determination.

"I know, but I can't just watch this city be swallowed by darkness."

I have to do something.

Selena looked at him, and a strange feeling of emotion welled up in her heart.

Bruce is a responsible and righteous person who is always willing to take risks for justice and truth.

So she nodded and decided to go with Bruce to see the Penguin.

After asking around and searching, the two arrived at the Penguin's mansion.

Looking at the magnificent building and the bodyguards standing at the entrance, a sense of tension rose in my heart.

"Are you ready?"

Bruce asked Selena.

Selena nodded, took a deep breath, and then said:
"Let's go."

The two mustered their courage and walked towards the door.

He tried to explain his purpose to the bodyguards, but they ruthlessly blocked him at the door.

"Get out of here! This is not a place for you!"

The bodyguards shouted menacingly.

Bruce and Selena exchanged a glance, feeling somewhat dejected.

It's not easy to meet the penguins.

However, at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out from behind.

"Let me in."

The two turned around and saw a short, cunning-looking man standing behind them.

He was dressed in an elegant suit, holding a cane, and his eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

"You are……"

Bruce looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"I am the penguin's assistant."

The man smiled and said, "He heard you wanted to see him, so he sent me to invite you in."

Bruce and Selena exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise in their hearts.

Unexpectedly, I met the penguin so easily.

So, they followed the man into the penguin's mansion.

After passing through a series of ornate corridors and rooms, we arrived in front of the penguin.

The penguin sat behind a large desk, reviewing a document. (End of Chapter)
