Starting from scratch, Batman crushed my dream of getting rich

Chapter 67: First appearance of branch

"Man, my dear friend, you have really gained weight recently."

In Gotham City, it was snowing lightly on Christmas Eve.

Two men in black suits were muttering to themselves as they lifted something together and staggered towards a blue car, seemingly struggling.

"boom"

The heavy object was smashed into the opened trunk of the car, and the two men breathed a sigh of relief. One of them laughed and said, "This way it will sink faster."

In the trunk, the corpse with a mustache and wearing a suit was stiff, with a crazy smile still on his face, as if he had died of laughter.

It was so funny, he died of laughter.

One of the people carrying the corpse rubbed his hands, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it.

"boom!"

A bat landed with a thud, and the trunk of the car slammed shut. The two people who had been feeling quite relaxed were suddenly frightened out of their wits, their mouths wide open wanting to scream.

However, Batman's two punches were already coming towards him.

"Curly? Angel?"

"Where have you two idiots gone?"

Maroni, with a cigarette in his mouth, slammed the back door of the restaurant open. He was very angry today. As the head of the second most powerful mafia family in Gotham City, he was threatened and interrogated with a gun pointed at his head. This really made him very unhappy.

And now, the two idiots who followed his orders to dispose of the body were still slow. Ten minutes had passed, and the two guys were still nowhere to be seen. They had not come back to report at all.

Maroni walked out with an angry face. The first thing he saw was the blue car parked at the door, and his face changed immediately.

The car was supposed to be sunk into the dock along with the body, but it hasn't even been driven away yet.

His two men, who were supposed to be following orders, both fell unconscious in the snow next to the trunk of the car.

Who killed them—No, their chests are still rising and falling, they are not dead.

At this moment, the back door of the restaurant was slammed shut.

"Maroni."

The moment he heard the voice, Maroni's pupils suddenly contracted and his whole body froze in place for half a second before he could barely react.

"Fuck, I've had enough."

He immediately reached into his arms to pull out his gun, and as expected, the next second, the dark and burly figure grabbed his wrist. The huge force was like a pair of pliers. He just twisted it lightly, and the revolver that Maroni had just taken out fell to the ground.

"That was not a wise move for an intelligent man—what happened here tonight?"

Maroni's hand was pinched so hard that veins popped out. He barely endured the severe pain and immediately replied: "There's a man who calls himself 'The Joker' - looking for the festival killer."

"Why?" Batman said, sternly putting his hand away. "What's his connection to the Holiday Killer?"

"Should I know? He's a lunatic! Just like you!" Maroni angrily hugged his right hand, which was about to be crushed, and growled through gritted teeth: "Ever since you came here, this whole city has been filled with lunatics!"

"Madman! Madman, madman."

In the pale snow, only Maroni was left sitting on the ground with his arms folded, muttering to himself, and the bat in the dark night had long disappeared.

"Can I see it now?"

Greda asked cautiously, fine snowflakes drifting down her red winter coat, her golden hair, and even her iron wheelchair. "Of course," the man's voice echoed in her ears, and the blindfold covering her face was removed.

"Merry Christmas, Greda."

Amidst the falling snowflakes, a beautiful house decorated with golden lights, emerald green garlands, bright red ribbons, and silver-white snow hats suddenly appeared before her eyes.

"Wow!"

Greda was so surprised that she could not contain her joy. She flew into Harvey's arms like a swallow and hugged him tightly.

"Whoa, slow down, honey. The doctors want you to be gentle, and you really shouldn't leave the wheelchair."

"Doctor, what do they know?" Greda snorted, looking up. Then she looked back at the room. "Our house is almost repaired—Harvey, rebuilding it must be very expensive."

"We can still afford it," Harvey said with a smile. "It's not like we're buying a new house. Don't worry, honey. I'll work harder."

Greda snuggled in her husband's arms and suddenly felt her body lighten, which made her scream, "Harvey!"

Harvey picked her up like a princess and walked into the house with a chuckle.

"Welcome home, Mrs. Dent."

Their eyes met, and the atmosphere grew somewhat sweeter. Greda pressed her cheek against Harvey's rough, slightly stubbled chin and asked softly, "Do you think—that if we started over again, in this renovated house—that maybe we could try to have a child again?"

"Second try?" Harvey lowered his head and put his lips close to Greda's face. "Let's see."

The two kissed, then went upstairs, entered the room and closed the door.

Perhaps, in the near future, the Dent family will have a new little life.

However, Mr. Dent did not know that two people had entered his home.

Ma Zhaodi was staring at the system panel in a daze at this moment.

Not long ago, he took the crystal ball model and went directly to the street according to the same process as before. However, before leaving, he took out his mobile phone and laptop and disabled the signal blocking function on them.

Driving along the mission's guided route for ten minutes, Ma Zhaodi felt something was wrong the further he went. The mission location seemed, maybe, perhaps, something was not right?

So he directly unfolded the map and confirmed the destination of this delivery again - it was in the diamond district, a private apartment of a Roman.

"No, buddy," Ma Zhaodi said, unable to contain himself. "Are you even human? They're trying to kill someone related to the Falcone family this time. How dare you say this mission is okay? Do you know how many armed bodyguards there are in the Romans' apartment?"

However, the system remained silent and just kept pointing out the destination of the mission.

"Listen, my body really can't handle the delivery in a place like this. Even though the Falcones deserved to die, I'm still a five-star citizen, right?"

"Can we change the delivery location, at least farther away from Falcone?"

Unexpectedly, when Ma Zhaodi was complaining, the system actually popped up a second prompt.

"This part-time job offers optional side quest 2—this side quest's base difficulty is assessed as medium, with an upper limit unknown. The base reward remains the same: the Crystal Orb, with a second base reward added: Harvey Dent's friendship. The secondary reward is 'Intermediate Physical Fitness Enhancement', worth $100,000 in asset points. Special reward: Unlocks the ability to move the save point forward."

Mission Destination: Gotham District Attorney Harvey Dent's Home

"Mission Objective: Face a super criminal and survive"

"Note: This mission involves the origin story of the super criminal 'Two-Face'. Please choose carefully."
