Me and countless me.

Chapter 242 Dark Knight
The salaries of American police officers cannot be considered as being paid by the state, because their salaries are paid by local people.

That is to say, the salary of a local police officer in a county is proportional to the number of rich people in the area. If they only receive the basic salary, they may even starve to death if they have more family members. So at this time, donations from the rich are needed, and the equipment of the police is also closely related to the donations from the local rich.

In addition, there are places such as clubs that are specifically provided to police stations, which even provide free doctors for the police, so that the police can get some minor illnesses such as headaches and fevers, and some cheap antibiotics for free.

Even contraband is fine.

So it’s not a joke that American police only protect the rich, it’s a fact.

And unlike in China where it is actually very difficult to become a police officer, here you can become a police officer even if you have a criminal record.

This is why there are still peaceful living areas in places like Gotham. But not all police officers can work in wealthy areas. If they want to go to a good place, there is only one way.

Crime clearance rate.

It is very easy to play a trick on someone, and it also increases the crime-solving rate.

If the crime solving rate goes up, for the safety of the rich, these detectives will naturally be transferred to the rich area. But if the crime solving rate does not go up, then you can expect to get the lowest salary, which may not even support yourself.

Of course, Gotham has other sources of income, such as protection fees, which are basic operations, but in the police system, the crime clearance rate is still very critical.

So Li Ke called the police and let them take the credit themselves, while he would just collect some money.

This money cannot be deposited in the bank, but it can be used for tips or other purposes.

Just don't be impulsive and go to places that issue invoices to make your purchase.

Li Ke kicked open the safe and took out some banknotes. Then he turned around and went to the rapist's house next door. He kicked the rapist who had just unbuttoned his pants. The Remington in Li Ke's hand directly smashed the rapist's limbs. Then he looked at the girl who was still sleeping at this point and was obviously drunk. He shook his head and took out the rapist's cell phone again.

"No. 179 Black Veil Street, a rapist, has been subdued."

After Li Ke finished speaking, he glanced at the rapist still lying on the ground and found that the rapist was relieved after he called the police. So he sneered, hung up the phone, and made another call.

"Hello, is this the emergency center? There's a man here with a very serious gunshot wound. Yes, he has no insurance, but he's very rich."

The person lying on the ground wailing stopped wailing when he heard Li Ke's words. He opened his eyes wide and roared angrily.

"I'm fine! I can do this! I'm fine!!"

Even though all five of his limbs were broken, at this moment, the man on the ground still wanted to stand up to stop Li Ke, and he almost stood up!

"I'm fine!! I'm fine!"

The rapist looked at Li Ke in horror as he sneered at him and said words that would scare even Satan.

"I suggest an ambulance and some EMTs so his limbs can be reattached. It's at 180 Crape Street, come quickly, he looks like he's dying."

After Li Ke finished speaking, he hung up the phone, causing the rapist to completely lose his mind.

"Do not!!!"

With this terrified roar, the strong man who was able to stand up even with all five limbs broken finally couldn't hold on anymore. He fainted on the ground with his eyes rolled back and lost movement.

Li Ke was stunned for a moment, and then he felt that the man's heart had stopped beating!
He was scared to death!

“What a loss.”

Li Ke curled his lips, materialized a first aid device in his hand, forcibly reactivated the man's heart, and then turned over and rushed to the next crime scene.

With this experience, Li Ke's subsequent actions were quite decisive.

Those who were able to resist were shot directly, and those who did not have time to resist were beaten to disability. So when Selena folded her arms and blew the cold wind on the rooftop for twenty minutes, Li Ke came back.

"Done, let's go."

After landing, Li Ke looked at Selena, who was relieved after his return. Then he heard a burst of sirens and the sound of ambulances. Then Li Ke found that the ambulances seemed to be racing against each other?
"What did you do?"

Selina looked at Li Ke with some doubt. Although Li Ke kept shooting here, normally no one here cared about this.

Li Ke smiled.

"I just beat them up and called an ambulance and emergency services for them."

Selena shuddered suddenly, and for a moment, she looked at Li Ke as if she was looking at Satan, and could not help but speak.

"Even if they were chivalrous, they could call an ambulance... But that's a bit too cruel, right? I think it would be more humane to just shoot them."

She really thought so! Even Li Ke thought that there was nothing wrong with this logic.

"But this will not serve as a punishment or warning."

Li Ke spread out his hands and hugged Selena's body.

"Okay, come home with me, and let's make some preparations tomorrow and start dealing with your boss."

After picking up Selina, Li Ke used the grappling gun to fly towards his home. His home was not in the wealthy area, but in the civilian area. Although there were no competent security guards here, it was the best house that a working-class person like Li Ke could find.

But for Selena...

"You're not super rich?"

Selina looked at Li Ke's ordinary house in surprise and couldn't help asking, "If Li Ke is just an ordinary person, then what will happen to her life after revenge and her future work?"
Looking at the fabric of the clothes, she thought Li Ke was a super rich man!
"What else? Why else do you think I would make money while fighting them?"

Li Ke shook the banknotes in his hand, asked Selena back, and then threw the banknotes aside.

At this moment, all the battle clothes on his body disappeared in an instant, and the whole person fell directly on his sofa, pointing to his bedroom to Selina.

"Go to the bedroom and sleep. I'll be fine here."

As he spoke, Li Ke placed his hand on the sofa. In an instant, a soft mattress appeared under Li Ke, making him look satisfied.

After seeing this, Selena's worry disappeared quietly. She even moved forward and pressed on Li Ke, giving him a sweet smile.

"Do you have a bathroom here?" It's okay if you don't have money for now. With such a superpower, it will turn into money sooner or later!
So Selena's expression became more and more flattering, like a cat that saw something delicious.

Li Ke: “…………”

He was really tired now and didn't really want to fight with the cat.

But everyone knows it.

Cats are not as obedient as dogs.

She doesn't care what you think, she only cares about what she thinks. She will only come to you when she needs you and obey you in everything.

Then, arouse your desire to capture and tame her!
While Li Ke was fighting the cat with all his might, Bruce Wayne was thinking.

Looking at the report in front of him, Bruce Wayne frowned.

because……

He was a little disappointed.

"This guy who calls himself Batman, has done just this little?"

Bruce Wayne looked at the reports given to him by the police chief.

Although the other party rescued some people and even punished criminals, in the eyes of Bruce Wayne, Batman himself was violating the law.

The other party has no law enforcement power!

When he thought of this, Bruce Wayne's brows deepened, because he always felt that he cared about whether the other party had the power to enforce the law, just like the king in the Middle Ages.

But after rubbing his temple, Bruce Wayne suddenly reacted.

"No... His ideas and conversation are not like those of a Westerner. He should be an Oriental, an Oriental who does not understand the system of kings and is more familiar with the system of Eastern emperors..."

Snapping his fingers, Bruce Wayne closed his eyes and continued to analyze the super-powered person he met, the 'Batman' who allowed him to see countless possibilities.

But he didn't really want to call him Batman, even though he had become a fear in his heart, but...

"Master, do you think he is more like a jester? Like a court jester or something like that?"

Alfred came over with coffee and spoke out what Bruce Wayne was thinking.

Bruce Wayne did not refute, but picked up the report in his hand and spoke with an inexplicable attitude.

"If he is just playing around like this, then it must be the Joker. He knew who the enemy we were facing was, and he reminded me, but he turned a blind eye to it..."

The other party was not satisfied with him as the "king" and asked him to deal with the owl nobles, but he went to find some easy jobs, which made Bruce Wayne very angry.

Just as the other party said, the root of Gotham is the corruption of those owl nobles. It doesn't matter whether he is the king or not. What matters is whether the people of Gotham can maintain such vitality and continue to live like this. And whether his decrees as a king can be issued normally.

His parents and his grandfather had tried to use capital to solve Gotham City's problems, but the problem was that every generation of Wayne died.

He had actually been aware of it all along, but he was just lucky.

And the man who called himself Batman killed the last hope in his heart.

Finally, there is the chance of using the power of capital to solve Gotham City's problems.

Looking at the serious Bruce Wayne, Alfred had a bad feeling in his heart.

"what do you mean……"

"Since he has become what the king fears, he should show the king's fear and bring this fear to other people!"

Bruce Wayne clenched his palms and spoke through gritted teeth.

"He doesn't deserve to be Batman!"

The bat is his fear, his nightmare, and the symbol of his revenge.

He would not allow the other party to tarnish the name of Batman, even if the other party brought it up first!
Although from this perspective, Bruce Wayne is indeed as unreasonable as a king, but the other party's idea of ​​driving and using him is too obvious!

Alfred was silent. He really hoped that Bruce Wayne could be a playboy, not think too much, and expand the Wayne family. But now, Bruce Wayne was really heading towards a path that he did not want to see.

Revenge, and the path to taking back one's throne.

But this road is too hard and too dangerous.

"Batman should be someone who can constantly investigate the masterminds behind the criminals, let everyone know what the end of the criminals will be, let those incompetent law enforcers know how useless they are, know that someone knows they are corrupt and taking bribes, and can still solve the city's problems when they fail to perform their duties! He needs to tell those people that as long as they refuse to abide by the law, they will be shrouded in irresistible fear! And when this fear is established, then I can easily use the law and money to solve those toothless villains! Those so-called owls!"

Bruce Wayne slammed his fist on the table angrily, his eyes filled with anger at having his title and right to act taken away!
Yes, Li Ke succeeded. He successfully let Bruce Wayne know in advance what he wanted, what he should do, and who he was!
He is the king!

Although he was unwilling to admit it, he was indeed the king as the other party said!

"So what are you going to do? Find him and sue him? But I think if you really want to do this, why don't you train him? After all, you now admit that you are the 'king', right?"

Alfred asked this question with his last hope, hoping that Bruce Wayne could let go of such thoughts and allow the transvestite vigilante who called himself Batman to continue to punish evil and promote good. After all, they were just trivial matters.

But if he allowed his young master to continue to fight crime, clip the wings of those 'owl nobles', and completely turn Gotham City into his own real empire, then although the young master would truly become the emperor of Gotham, he would also have to continue fighting throughout his life.

He didn't want to see that kind of future because it was too painful.

However, his last hope was crushed by Bruce Wayne, who turned his head away and dared not look at Alfred.

"I will try, but that is not his duty and responsibility... So, if he continues to tarnish and neglect his duties as Batman, then..."

Bruce Wayne's figure fell into darkness, like a bat and also like a night owl.

"I will tear his cape off with my own hands!"
