Chapter 304 Headquarters Demolition in Progress

The headquarters building of the Suzuki Foundation.

Despite the police increasing manpower at the Suzuki Foundation headquarters, they were still unable to succeed against the Steel Association's executives leading their own forces; the patrol lines were practically like a public toilet.
Come when you want and leave when you want.

Under Ai Haibara's remote observation,
She noticed that the members of the Steel Society had disguised themselves as members of the Suzuki Foundation and infiltrated the headquarters building of the Suzuki Foundation. Although the bags they were carrying were covered, some watch faces could still be seen through the gaps.

If nothing unexpected happens, it's probably a time bomb.

She had just informed Chen En, but she didn't know how long it would take for Chen En to arrive at the Suzuki Foundation's headquarters. Therefore, what she needed to do now was to make use of the mechanisms Chen En had left at the Suzuki Foundation's headquarters and have some fun with these Steel Society members.

------

At this moment, the members of the Steel Society had split into five teams and were heading to different floors to plant explosives. The Steel Society executives, who were in charge, took out masks from their bags and slowly put them on.

—The longer he takes off this black mask, the greater the mental breakdown it causes him.

Therefore, even though he only took off his mask for a few minutes to sneak into the Suzuki Group headquarters building, he already felt a slight abnormality in his mental state and had to put the mask back on.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

The criminal group that collaborates with the Steel Society possesses terrifying capabilities.

The entire Suzuki Group's surveillance system has been hacked and controlled by members of that criminal group. Now they can move freely within the Suzuki Group, and even if he wears a mask, no one in the monitoring room will notice anything amiss.

—The virus used to hack into and control the surveillance system of the Suzuki Foundation headquarters was naturally the Dark Baron virus.

Ireland personally spearheaded the hacking operation, disabling the Suzuki Group's surveillance system.

His only goal was to use the Iron Society as a powerful tool to control the Suzuki Group's headquarters, lure Batman out, and kill him to avenge Pisco!

"Shiro Suzuki and Tomoko Suzuki should still be on the top floor."

"Prepare to take control of the elevator. I need to make sure that once the main body sends its signal, we can control the entire Suzuki Group and prevent anyone from leaving from here, thus clearing obstacles for the main body's plan."

The man in the black mask spoke in a cold voice.

This explanation of the original body made the Steel Guild members next to them swallow hard.

If it weren't for the fact that the Steel Guild was offering them so much, even if they had a gun to their heads and were forced to come and do their bidding, they wouldn't dare associate with a group of Steel Guild cadres who were clearly problematic.

However, what's done is done, and there's no use regretting it now; all we can do is carry it out.

While this team remained on the first floor, waiting for the Steel Society team, which was controlling the exit of the Suzuki Foundation headquarters, to remain still, the other Black Mask teams encountered a little trouble.

For example, a sudden electric shock trap.

The electric current instantly struck one of the members of the top Ironclad squad.
The person's body trembled as if they were breakdancing, and in the blink of an eye, they collapsed to the ground with a thud. If it weren't for the rise and fall of their chest, they would have looked dead.

The captain of the Steel Society squad swallowed hard.
He didn't know what the Suzuki Group's motives were in setting a trap in Tama's corridor. Why would a normal business owner do that? Didn't their employees use this corridor?
A sense of unease inexplicably arose in his heart, and the captain of the Steel Society squad took out his walkie-talkie.

He was about to contact the masked man downstairs, but the walkie-talkie was busy, as if the signal was being blocked. A look of horror flashed in the eyes of the Steel Society squad leader.
It's a trap, it must be a trap!

No wonder he noticed from the beginning that there were very few employees working the night shift in the nearby offices, and they were all far away from the corridor area. He thought they were just busy with something, but now he realizes that it was just a complete disguise!

"We've fallen into Kongming's trap! Retreat!"

They couldn't even bother with the task of installing the explosives.

The leader of the Steel Society squad shouted.
However, the next moment, several mechanical arms suddenly extended from the wall beside them, instantly grabbing their gun-wielding hands and lifting them high—this was the American-made equipment that Suzuki Jirokichi had bought to deal with Kaito Kid. Chen En had Dr. Agasa modify it and then used it for the security of the Suzuki Foundation headquarters building.

The steel gang leader only had time to utter one sentence: "What a hardship!"
It was then pierced by an anesthetic needle hidden in a small hole inside the robotic arm, lost consciousness, and turned into a pendant.

------

"Is this... something I bought earlier?"

Suzuki Jirokichi swallowed hard.

He asked Chen En for access to the surveillance footage, and after looking at its contents, he was deeply tempted.

Wow, the things he bought are so useful!

I should have bought more. It's just a small amount of money, a drop in the ocean compared to the size of the Suzuki Group.

He was there last night, after Chen Enlai came.
He then told Shiro Suzuki and Tomoko Suzuki about the possibility of an attack on the headquarters building.
Then he had Shiro Suzuki and Tomoko Suzuki equip each workstation with a wired communication device.

This was all to provide a way out for the Suzuki Group's employees who didn't have time to escape.

He has just notified Shiro Suzuki and Tomoko Suzuki, who are still in the top-floor office.
This lifeline was put to use immediately.

"This won't do... We've only taken care of one team; there are still four teams left..."

"The tranquilizer darts worked, but they only took out one team. The other Steel Guild members have already noticed something's wrong... Damn it, what do we do next..."

Jirokichi Suzuki was anxiously monitoring the situation in real time.

Just as he was pondering how to further reduce the harm—

The best way to reduce harm has emerged.

Batman has arrived.

------

"I'm in a hurry now."

Chen En slammed the heads of the two Steel Society members in front of him together, instantly eliminating the squad.

He glanced at the bomb inside, quickly neutralized the possibility of explosion, then picked it up and headed upwards, because he still had a full squad to deal with.

Let's leave the ones on the first floor for now and deal with the Black Mask Squad later. It's better to take care of the others who planted the bombs first.

—There seems to be some strange way the black-masked people communicate. Let's deal with the one below first, as it might cause trouble.

He didn't want to alert the enemy; if he missed this opportunity to take down Black Mask, it would be difficult to seize the next chance.

therefore----

"Shiho Miyano, report the location of that group to me."

Chen En said.
