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

The senior councilor gritted his teeth, a sly glint in his eyes, and said in a hoarse but provocative voice, "Qin Yang, you are too arrogant."

You think destroying this place will destroy the Court of Owls? We've existed for centuries, and our roots run deeper than you can imagine.

You're nothing but a reckless brute who relies on speed; you'll never grasp our true core!

"Oh? The core?"

Qin Yang raised an eyebrow, tapping his knee lightly with his fingers, as if he had heard an interesting joke. "Sounds pretty mysterious."

However, Congressman, you seem to have forgotten that what I hate most is working overtime.

If you don't tell the truth, I don't mind taking another three seconds to shut you up completely.

The congressman sneered, struggling to sit up against the wall, a glint of madness in his eyes: "You want to know the truth? Fine, I'll tell you! The Court of Owls has never been one person or one place."

Our power extends throughout Gotham, and indeed the entire world! You destroyed this fortress, but that's like cutting off one of our fingers.

The real core...is somewhere you'll never find it!

Qin Yang narrowed his eyes, his tone still relaxed, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Tsk, you're quite good at bluffing."

However, Congressman, you need to work on your acting skills.

The look in your eyes clearly indicates you're stalling for time.

What? Are you hoping your reinforcements will arrive? Or...?

He paused, slowly stood up, and looked around. "Are there any traps or mechanisms here that I haven't dismantled yet?"

Just then, a deep rumble came from deep within the fortress, as if some huge machine was starting up.

The walls trembled slightly, and a faint red light emanated from the cracks in the ground.

The Grand Councilor's lips curled into a smug smile: "Qin Yang, you underestimate the Court of Owls."

This fortress's true trump card is not something you can destroy so easily!

Qin Yang frowned, his ears twitching slightly as he caught the sound of metal scraping in the distance.

His watch screen lit up, and Friday's voice came through the communicator, sounding somewhat urgent: "Sir, a high-energy reaction has been detected deep within the fortress, suspected to be a heavy weapon being activated."

Evacuate immediately!

"Evacuate?"

Qin Yang chuckled, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at the congressman nonchalantly, "Tsk, Friday, you're too nervous."

"The Court of Owls' trump card? I'll see just how tough it is!"

He turned to the Grand Councilor, his tone mocking, "Grand Councilor, I'll give you a chance. Tell me, what's your trump card? Don't make me go through all that trouble to find it, it's too tiring."

The Grand Councilor snorted coldly, a glint of madness flashing in his eyes: "Qin Yang, you'll regret this! Activate the 'Shadow Protocol'! Let this arrogant bastard witness the true power of the Court of Owls!"

Before the words were finished, the ground in the center of the fortress suddenly cracked open, and a huge circular platform slowly rose up.

A machine larger than "Night Owl" stands on the platform.

An even larger mechanical monster, its shape resembles a giant mechanical owl, with a wingspan of ten meters, its body inlaid with countless shimmering energy nodes, and its eyes shooting out blinding red light.

The entire fortress trembled slightly under its oppressive aura, and a suffocating sense of pressure filled the air.

"Tsk, this thing is even more intimidating than that big guy from before."

Qin Yang tilted his head, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes, "Grand Councilor, your prop master is quite creative."

What's this thing called? 'Super Owl'? Or 'Ultimate Owl'?

"This is the 'Judgment Owl'!"

The congressman’s voice carried a hint of fervor, “It is the culmination of a century of our research, combining the most advanced nanotechnology and energy weapons.”

Qin Yang, no matter how fast you are, you can't escape its lock! Your end is near!

Qin Yang laughed heartily, put his hands in his pockets, and shrugged nonchalantly: "Doomsday? Tsk, Grand Councilor, you're exaggerating a bit."

Nanotechnology? Energy weapons? Sounds pretty high-tech, but unfortunately…

He paused, a golden glint flashing in his eyes, "In my eyes, it's just a slightly sturdier target."

"Insanity!"

The Grand Councilor roared and slammed down a remote control in his hand, "Judgment Owl, destroy him!"

The mechanical behemoth's eyes blazed red, and its wings suddenly unfurled, unleashing countless beams of energy that rained down on Qin Yang.

The entire fortress was distorted by the intense heat of the beam, and even traces of melting began to appear on the walls.

Qin Yang's figure instantly transformed into a golden light, effortlessly weaving through the beams of light, as if performing a deadly dance.

"Tsk, that's pretty powerful."

Qin Yang's voice echoed through the fortress, tinged with a hint of mockery, "However, your aim was a bit off."

"I'll analyze this behemoth's weaknesses on Friday; I don't want to waste too much time here."

"Analysis in progress, sir."

Friday's voice was calm and efficient: "The core energy node of the Judgment Owl is located in the chest area, and the outer armor is made of nano-alloy. It is recommended to use high-energy laser cutting."

There is also a backup energy core on its back. After the main core is destroyed, the backup core must be destroyed immediately, otherwise a self-destruct sequence may be triggered.

"Self-destruct program?"

Qin Yang raised an eyebrow, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. "Tsk, the Owl Court is quite the player."

Okay, Friday. Locate the core position for me, and I'll perform open-heart surgery on this giant bird!

Before he finished speaking, Qin Yang's figure transformed into a golden light and instantly appeared above the chest of the Judgment Owl.

He conjured a dazzling ball of light in his palm and slammed it down on the mechanical behemoth's chest.

With a deafening roar, the ball of light exploded, transforming into countless laser beams that precisely sliced ​​into the gaps in the armor.

A huge gap was instantly torn open in the chest of the Judgment Owl, revealing the shimmering energy core inside.

"Step one, done!"

Qin Yang grinned, and his figure transformed into golden light once again, circling around to the back of the giant beast.

With a light tap of his finger, a laser beam shot out, precisely striking the backup core.

The entire Judgment Owl shuddered violently, the red light in its eyes dimmed rapidly, and its massive body collapsed with a crash, shaking the ground.

The Grand Councilor's eyes widened in disbelief: "Impossible... The Judgement Owl actually... so quickly..."

"Tsk, Congressman, I already said, three seconds is enough."

Qin Yang landed slowly, clapped his hands, and said in a relaxed tone, "Your trump card is a bit of a low quality."

"The culmination of a century of research? It's not even good enough to warm me up."

The councilor slumped to the ground, his eyes filled with despair: "Qin Yang... who exactly are you? Why... why is your power so terrifying?"

"who?"

Qin Yang tilted his head and gave a mocking smile. "I'm just an ordinary person who hates working overtime."

Oh, by the way, I hate it when people act mysterious or charlatan in front of me.

The Court of Owls? Tsk, sounds impressive, but it's really just a bunch of old guys plotting in the sewers.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from the entrance of the fortress.

Oswald and Nigma stormed in with a squad of Gotham's elite.

Oswald's eyes flashed with shock as he saw the mechanical debris scattered all over the ground and the collapsed Judgment Owl: "Qin Yang, you... you actually demolished this place?!"

"Tsk, Penguin, you're a bit late."

Qin Yang turned around and waved his hand lazily, "But you've come at the perfect time."

The high-ranking councilor here has run out of tricks; now it's your turn to clean up the mess. I need to leave work on time.

Nigma pushed up his glasses, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes: "Your Excellency Qin Yang, your efficiency... is truly astonishing! However, I have already cracked the Grand Councilor's communication records, and the flow of funds and the list of members of the Court of Owls are all on my computer."

Next, we can follow the clues and wipe out their remaining forces in one fell swoop!

"Oh? Well done, Nigma."

Qin Yang raised an eyebrow, his tone teasing, "Looks like you didn't stay up all night working overtime this time."

"So, what's the plan next? Don't tell me you want me to make another trip."

Nigma sneered, and the metal puzzle device in his hand clicked shut: "Lord Qin Yang, my plan is very simple."

The funds for the Owl Court mainly come from several overseas accounts, one of which I have locked down in Switzerland.

Their power will crumble as soon as we cut off their funding.

but……"

He paused, a sly glint in his eyes, "You'll have to handle this personally. After all, Swiss banks aren't places you can just hack into."

"Swiss Bank?"

Qin Yang frowned, his tone tinged with impatience, "Tsk, damn it, are you trying to give me an excuse to work overtime?"

Okay, give me the coordinates, I'll go there.

However, let me make this clear beforehand: I need to take a vacation after this job!

Oswald laughed and clapped his hands: "Qin Yang, you're a real gem in Gotham! Don't worry, I'll fully cooperate with this operation."

"You can use any of Gotham's resources you want—weapons, manpower, intelligence—you name it!"

"Hey, Penguin, you're pretty generous this time."

Qin Yang glanced at him sideways, his tone mocking, "However, don't think I don't know what you're up to."

"Are you still eyeing half of the Owl Court's fortune?"

Oswald's face stiffened, then he revealed a sly smile: "Qin Yang, you have a really sharp eye."

Okay, I admit it, I do want that money.

But don't worry, I, Oswald, know how to conduct myself.

How about we split the wealth of the Court of Owls equally?

"Equally divided?"

Qin Yang laughed and waved his hand, "Penguin Man, you're overthinking it."

I've never been interested in money.

If you want it, take it.

However, remember this: don't try to be clever behind people's backs.

Oswald chuckled twice, a complex look flashing in his eyes: "Don't worry, Qin Yang, I'm not stupid enough to play mind games with you."

Happy cooperation! "

"Having fun is fine, Penguin, you'd better keep your word."

Qin Yang stretched lazily, glancing at Nigma and Oswald. "Alright, enough nonsense."

Nigma, give me the coordinates and account information for my Swiss bank account.

"Oswald, get your men ready, we're going to empty the Owl Court's coffers tonight!"

Nigma adjusted his glasses and quickly made a few moves on the computer: "The coordinates and account information have been sent to your watch, Your Excellency Qin Yang."

However, Swiss banks have a sophisticated security system, boasting world-class firewalls and physical defenses.

Are you sure you want to go alone?

"one person?"

Qin Yang grinned, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes, "Nigma, you underestimate me."

Kizaru's speed is something those firewalls can't stop.

Give me three seconds, and I can take their servers down!

Oswald frowned, his tone tinged with worry: "Qin Yang, don't be too overconfident."

The Court of Owls' overseas influence is no less than Gotham's; they certainly have a large military presence in Switzerland.

"A slip-up?"

Qin Yang waved his hand, his tone still confident, "Penguin Man, I don't like hearing that."

Alright, enough talk, let's get started! Nigma, keep an eye on communications; Oswald, manage your men; I'm going to take a trip to Switzerland!

Before he finished speaking, Qin Yang's figure transformed into a golden light and vanished instantly from the fortress.

"Damage the system? Tsk, that's too much trouble."

Qin Yang waved his hand, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "On Friday, pinpoint the server location for me, and I'll just pull it out!"

"Locked, coordinates sent."

Friday's voice was calm and efficient: "However, sir, a high-energy reaction has been detected inside the vault, and reinforcements, suspected to be from the Court of Owls, are approaching."

"Reinforcements?"

Qin Yang grinned, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes, "Great, you've come at the perfect time."

That way I won't have to search for them one by one.

"Get the data transfer ready on Friday, I'm going to teach them a lesson!"

Before he could finish speaking, the metal door of the vault suddenly burst open, and a team of fully armed modified soldiers rushed in.

Their armor shimmered with blue light, and the weapons in their hands emitted deadly energy fluctuations.

The leader was a tall man wearing a tactical mask, with a cold glint in his eyes.

"Qin Yang!"

The leader roared, "You dare break into the Owl Court's vault? You're asking for trouble!"

"Are you tired of living?"

Qin Yang tilted his head and said in a teasing tone, "Tsk, I don't like hearing that."

Come on, let me see just how durable you modified goods really are!

The battle erupted instantly, with the modified warriors' energy beams crisscrossing within the vault, the air distorted by the intense heat, emitting ear-piercing explosions.

However, Qin Yang's figure transformed into golden light, easily dodging all attacks.

In less than three seconds, all that remained inside the vault were fragments of armor and groaning wounded soldiers.

"Tsk, too weak."

Qin Yang clapped his hands and nodded in satisfaction. "Friday, how's the data transmission going?"

"Completed, sir."

Friday's voice came through: "Account data has been downloaded. The flow of funds and the list of members of Owl Court have been fully obtained."

"Okay, great job!"

Qin Yang grinned and turned to walk towards the server deep inside the vault.

He conjured a ball of light in his palm and slammed it down onto the server core. (End of Chapter)
