Rachel learned the truth from Harvey and quickly guessed Leo's identity.

The two had met this morning, and she still remembered Leo's general appearance. Moreover, the only person who could freely enter and leave Bruce's residence and was frequently seen by his side lately was "him".

"Thank you, Li—"

Her words were interrupted by Leo's raised finger.

"I wear a mask to hide my identity. Can you use your brain before you speak?"

Rachel blushed slightly and immediately fell silent, feeling embarrassed.

Leo glanced speechlessly at this woman who wasn't particularly bright but had incredible luck, managing to charm two of Gotham's most handsome men at the same time. He thought her charm was just so-so, far less attractive than V.

Let's hurry up and resolve this mess in Gotham, then head back to Night City and feast on Viagra...

Thinking of this, he took out his phone from his storage space.

As if by telepathy, the phone rang incessantly as soon as it received a signal.

When Leo unlocked the screen, the first thing he saw was 99+ missed calls.

Good grief, is Batman using a "call bombing" technique?

After recognizing that the caller was Batman, he answered the phone.

Batman's frantic, undisguised voice rang out from the other end of the phone: "The Joker has kidnapped Harvey and Rachel! Where are they!?"

A slight smile appeared on Leo's lips.

It's wonderful that even Batman has his moments of defeat.

"They were right next to me, I rescued them. Wait a moment..."

Leo handed the phone to Harvey, letting him say a few words as well.

After a quick exchange, Batman's tense expression finally relaxed. He told Harvey to return the phone to Leo and said, "Bring them to the Major Crimes Unit building, and... consider it a debt I owe you."

The call was hung up by the other party.

Leo was secretly thrilled: Batman's favors are hard to come by. As long as you don't cross his bottom line, this favor will be extremely valuable!

His first thought was to get Batman to agree to "rent Poison Ivy" so he could get the Alcohol-2 crop out as soon as possible and cause trouble in Night City.

He plans to get in early, short the stock price of biotech companies, and then kick the company to its knees to rise to power!

So cool!

But before that, there's something very important—to get revenge on the Joker!

"You two, get in the car! Don't keep the 'VIPs' waiting!"

Leo got into the driver's seat with high spirits, but after waiting for a while, they didn't come up.

"You guys are dawdling... uh..."

Harvey and Rachel stood side by side outside the car, glancing at the only available seat and then at Leo's face.

Leo realized: The Sword in the Stone is a supercar, with only two seats...

"Uh... the trunk is empty, but there's still room for one more person. Who's going?"

Harvey and Rachel looked at each other in bewilderment.

Leo urged, "Judging by size, Rachel has more room in the trunk. From a gentlemanly standpoint, Harvey should go in the trunk. Choose one, and hurry up!"

One minute later...

Leo started the car with a gloomy face.

Damn it, that scumbag couple, I slammed on the brakes and strangled them...

In the passenger seat, Harvey held Rachel, and the two whispered intimately in each other's ears.

Rachel told Harvey that she had made her choice and was willing to accept his marriage proposal. Harvey was overjoyed, and the dejection he felt from being kidnapped vanished.

Leo suspected that if it weren't for him being a third wheel, the two of them would have already started fighting.

Having been force-fed several mouthfuls of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), Leo wished he could plug his ears.

Why torture Batman first when this is a wonderful thing that could make him break down and cry?

Frustrated, he slammed on the gas and sped to the Major Crimes Unit building.

The police officers on duty had clearly received prior orders and quickly let the vehicle pass upon seeing it, which resembled the Batmobile.

They drove unimpeded into the police station's garage and saw Gotham's one-on-one champion waiting there.

Early Signs of Talent: Chapter 229 Leo: First Time in a Police Station, Let's Fire a Few Shots to Liven Up the Scene!

"Thank God!"

“Attorney General Dant, Ms. Rachel, thankfully you are both alright.”

Gordon quickly came over and didn't think anything was wrong when he saw Harvey and Rachel getting out of the passenger seat, embracing each other.

On the contrary, the guy in silver clothes seemed completely unfamiliar to him.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

"The Stranger in Silver".

Leo responded casually, officially recognizing the unofficial title.

Gordon adjusted his black-rimmed glasses and nodded calmly.

He and Batman were partners, so of course he knew that about two weeks ago, a man in a silver suit suddenly appeared by his side, and some busybodies called him the Silver Stranger.

Now, it seems he has decided to make his debut as a vigilante, just like Batman.

Leo doesn't have mind-reading abilities, so naturally he couldn't see through what Gordon was imagining.

In fact, he didn't care.

He now desperately wants to see the Joker and return the "word" he once said!

However, for the sake of dramatic effect, he had to make some arrangements in advance.

Leo reached out his right hand and stroked the car body—the Batmobile… ah, no, the Sword in the Stone vanished into thin air before everyone's eyes.

He wouldn't dare do that in Night City, because the big corporations would really go to any lengths to capture him.

But in Gotham, or rather the DC Universe, there are no such concerns—there really are aliens, demigods, magic, heaven, hell, and all sorts of other weird things here, so his spatial abilities are not noticeable at all.

Gordon and the police officers who were there to greet him were dumbfounded, frozen in place like ice sculptures.

Leo ignored them and released six drones to make a show of things.

Once everything was ready, Leo looked at Gordon: "Is Batman inside?"

Gordon nodded. "The Joker wouldn't reveal any information about the two kidnappers, so I had to send him. Fortunately, you've resolved the matter."

Leo smirked smugly. With the mask on, he wasn't worried about Gordon reading anything from his expression.

He paused for a moment, then said, “I bet that madman was mocking you—saying that you two were playing good cop and bad cop, right?”

This is not a question, it is a statement.

A hint of surprise flashed in Gordon's eyes, but he did not respond.

Leo didn't mind and said as they walked, "Let's go over there. Oh, by the way, just so you know, Rachel and Harvey can only enter the interrogation room after they receive my signal. Before that, I need to talk to the Joker."

"That depends on 'him,' not me."

Gordon silently followed in his footsteps.

*

The Major Crimes Unit's interrogation room wasn't inside the office building, but in a separate building at the back where prisoners were held. Without Gordon leading the team, ordinary people could easily be detained simply for approaching.

As Rachel passed through three layers of security and was about to enter the room, she nervously straightened her clothes and suddenly felt something hard in her pocket.

A thought struck her, and she took it out: "Harvey, darling, thank you for the lucky coin, now it's yours."

Ding--

The crisp, pleasant sound of the coin bouncing into the air attracted the attention of a third party.

Lucky Coin!

Upon hearing this term, Leo's ears perked up instantly.

He had a coin that V had given him, and he was very sensitive to it.

He turned his head quickly and saw the coin that Rachel had flicked into the air, and Harvey's left hand that was already outstretched to catch it.

No!

Not allowed!

That coin is the core of the "Two-Face" spirit; Gotham no longer needs Two-Face!

Krenzikov, go!

When bullet time is activated, everything around you slows down.

Leo's fingers flew like the wind, his movements as swift as lightning, intercepting the coin before it even hit the ground.

With a flash of silver light, the coin was already between his index and middle fingers.

Harvey, Rachel, and Gordon were all stunned.

Leo withdrew his right hand and examined the coin, turning it over and over: "Both sides have the image of the goddess of peace. Is this a misprinted commemorative coin?"

"Ah...yes, the 1922 Peace Silver Coin."

Harvey hesitated before reaching out, only to see the silver-clad stranger flip his hand and make the coin disappear...

"I like souvenirs, so consider this coin as your fare for the ride."

With that, Leo turned around, determined not to return it.

This is an "undamaged double-sided coin," a truly top-tier souvenir.

"..."

Harvey hesitated, the coin holding immense significance for him, especially after Rachel agreed to his proposal. But Leo was their savior, so asking for a commemorative coin was nothing.

Rachel was even more impatient than him, muttering under her breath, "That's... Harvey's lucky coin."

Leo pushed open the steel security door in front of him and said without turning his head, "Luck always runs out eventually. Instead of relying on good fortune, it's better to rely on your own efforts and solve problems with hard power."

"You're right. These criminals really taught me a lesson this time."

Harvey stopped arguing and tacitly agreed that Leo had the right to take the coin.

The group of four continued forward and entered the building.

The building has a large interior space, containing both iron cages for holding multiple criminals and dedicated interrogation rooms.

Police officers can see inside through the one-way mirror, but criminals cannot see or hear anything outside.

When they entered, there were already more than a dozen high-ranking police officers waiting there, watching over the criminals in the cells while observing Batman's conversation with the Joker.

Hearing footsteps, they all looked over.

The police officers' eyes widened when they saw Harvey and Rachel.

The Joker had just threatened that his men had kidnapped the two men.

How did the person get rescued in the blink of an eye?

The female detective who had tricked Harvey into getting on the bus was also in the crowd. When she saw Harvey, she acted as if she had seen a ghost, instinctively shrinking back and trying to hide in the crowd.

But Leo would not allow her to have her way.

Without needing to speak, he gave instructions to the drone using brainwaves.

One of the drones suddenly swooped down and fired several shots before the police could react.

Bang bang bang!

Four shots were fired in quick succession, accurately hitting the policewoman's limbs.

The special bullet did not penetrate her body, but instead emitted a rapid electrical discharge upon contact.

Amidst the crackling of electricity, she screamed and fell to the ground, her body convulsing.
