Nobody can stop me from drawing cards in Gotham!

Chapter 129 Reverse Bounty, the Most Deadly

"We're going to Planet Daily now."

After leaving Lex Building, Louise, whose car was totaled in the assassination attempt yesterday and who was temporarily without a car, could only temporarily drive a Ford Anglia transferred from the Parrels Group, taking Jaeger with her.

And speaking of this Ford Anglia—well, it certainly wasn't transferred from the group.

Although Parrels Tower is located in Gotham, it doesn't actually take long to get to the Metropolitan area.

But it's still not as convenient as building Lego on the spot.

Among a host of flashy LEGO car models, many of which are racing-grade vehicles, Jaeger ultimately chose the Ford Anglia, which is relatively road-legal and has a more understated appearance.

Otherwise, if you bring out a race car, whether it's road-legal is one thing, but whether Louise will kick you in the butt with her high heels and say, "Do you think I'm a reporter or a race car driver?" is another matter entirely.

"Planet Daily?" Jaeger asked, lounging in the back seat because he was too lazy to drive.

"Yeah, go back to Clark, and we can find a place to contact Superman and Wonder Woman."

After Louise finished speaking, she suddenly realized something.

"Oh right, I almost forgot—aren't you a chairman of the board? Do you have other business to attend to at the Metropolis?"

'

Jaeger: "————" Actually, no.

After all, he came to Metropolis only to acquire the Planet Daily card.

With the acquisition progress reaching 80% and the target for the "Luxury" card discount achieved, he had no other tasks to attend to for the time being.

However, as a player, he also needs to deal with two event cards: "The Calamity of Escali" and "The Battle for ?".

It seems that these two cards are likely tied together and can only be settled together once this whole incident is over.

However, despite having no business to attend to, Jaeger had some new ideas about the incident after listening to Luther's words at Lex Tower.

Besides, even if there is a discussion later, he can join online using a communicator, so he doesn't need to be present in person.

So when Louise asked him this in a friendly way, Jaeger thought for a moment and said, "—Hmm."

"Then you can go back and handle it first." Louise nodded. "Anyway, if we need to discuss it later, we can just use your communicator."

"By the way, I can give you a ride—where will you be staying temporarily after arriving in the Metropolis?"

Jaeger: "InterContinental Hotel."

"The InterContinental Hotel? — The one next to Planet Daily?"

Louise, being a native of the metropolis, was very familiar with many of its locations and immediately thought of a possible hotel.

"Yes." Jaeger nodded.

"If it's that one, it's very close by." Louise stepped on the gas, accelerating slightly. "It should only take a few minutes."

Louise is right; after all, the Lex Building they just left is located in the city center.

The Daily Planet, a long-established metropolitan media outlet, and the InterContinental Hotel mentioned by Jaeger are both located in this area.

The hotel is just one block away from the Planet Daily building; if you work on a higher floor of the Planet Daily, you can see the hotel building from your window.

In fact, this InterContinental Hotel is frequently visited by celebrities or hosts important banquets—

So the reporters from Planet Daily are quite familiar with that place, because they need to go there from time to time to do interviews or follow up on reports.

InterContinental Hotel, a room.

The first thing Jaeger did upon entering the room was to insert the card and turn on the lights.

The second step was to touch the ornament on the bedside table, which was disguised as an ordinary Gotham City memorial statue, just as if he were stroking his favorite ornament.

But this action actually activated the anti-surveillance and eavesdropping device installed on it.

After all, this isn't his own territory, and it's a high-risk area like a hotel room.

In any case, it's always better to be cautious than not to be at all.

After completing this step, Jaeger raised his hand to confirm that the communicator was working properly and that he wouldn't miss Louise's call, before sitting down at the table.

He then turned on his laptop.

"I'm very concerned about that cult Luther mentioned earlier," Jaeger said to the Poison Mist. "Their connection to the Escaliber Trophy, and why they suddenly came to Metropolis—"

"And their beliefs."

Jaeger narrowed his eyes as he said this: "They are all worth exploring."

"So how should we gather intelligence on them?" Poison Mist asked. "Investigating directly online is probably not realistic, since it involves unknown religious beliefs, and it would be difficult to find out directly."

"This is where something irresistible comes into play," Jaeger said solemnly, resting his chin on his hand.

Poisonous Fog: "Something no one can resist? — Could it be chocolate?"

Jaeger: "————"

I almost forgot this guy is a chocolate lover.

So he casually pulled a chocolate bar from his pocket and fed it to the poison mist, explaining, "No, I was actually talking about money—"

"If that religious group can contribute two million, we can contribute four million, ten million, twenty million—or even more."

"Even the most ethical villains will waver if they've been bought off by religious groups," Jaeger said. "Anyway, I don't usually spend much money, so this time I'll let you put your earnings to good use."

"Or—" Jaeger thought for a moment, "we could directly offer a bounty on that religious group on some special websites."

"A useful piece of intelligence is worth 5, with no upper limit. Let's see if the intelligence dealers in the metropolis can bring us anything useful."

"And if those religious figures get anxious and want to find out who posted this message—" Jaeger paused here.

Poison Mist smoothly picked up where she left off: "They can't find it either. Forget about the security of these special websites themselves; even if they wanted to find it, they'd have to get past me first."

"All I need to do is randomly infiltrate a few hundred computers in the metropolis using the fog, and then use the backend to post corresponding bounties, thus confusing their perspective."

"That's right." Jaeger nodded in agreement. "Even if they were really that ruthless, wanting to target hundreds of IPs—"

They checked everyone one by one.

"The commotion caused will be significant, allowing us to follow the trail and catch those religious figures in the act."

"I see." The poisonous mist suddenly understood. "Shall I post the bounty for you now?"

"Hmm." Jaeger subconsciously held the communicator and heard Louise testing the connection. He knew Louise had arrived at the Daily Planet. "Then I'll leave these matters to you. I'll keep an eye on the communicator."
