From Gotham to Night City, my infamy is known to all.

"what!?"

Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events.

Just as the police instinctively reached for their guns to retaliate, six drones had already surrounded them in a ring.

The ominous buzzing grew louder, making them hesitant to make any rash moves.

Gordon vaguely guessed what was going on. He suppressed the urge to retaliate and looked at Leo with a serious expression: "What do you mean by this?"

Seeing that the drone had taken control of the situation, Leo swaggered over to the female detective and handed her the high-tech handcuffs that belonged to Batman.

"This woman is one of the undercover agents hidden in the Major Crimes Unit. I'm not sure if she's being blackmailed or if she's actually from a mafia family. You'll have to investigate yourself."

"While I was rescuing Harvey, I also arrested several corrupt cops, all from your Major Crimes Unit. The leader was Big Baldy Wooltz."

Upon hearing this, not only Gordon, but also other high-ranking police officers stood up awkwardly, and some of their eyes began to dart around.

Early Signs of Talent: Chapter 230 Leo: "Why so serious?"

This is Gotham City, a city known for its honest and simple people. Few of those who can establish themselves in the Gotham Police Department are truly clean.

Behind you is a mafia family, behind me is a wealthy conglomerate, and behind him might be the legendary Court of Owls...

In short, let's not even talk about the second brother, we're all birds of a feather.

Who is that person in the silver clothes?

That's so rude...

Leo saw the condemnation in the eyes of these officers, but he didn't care.

He wasn't intimidated by the NCPD, let alone a group of ordinary police officers from the GCPD.

Just as he was trying to ease the tension and give the officers a way out, a sharp alarm sounded from afar, as if a door had been opened.

Then, Batman, fully armed, made a dazzling appearance!

The reason is obvious: the brand-new surveillance equipment in the police station was clearly his doing.

"You fired a shot in the police station?"

His tone was somewhat dissatisfied, but not particularly strong.

After he finished speaking, his gaze lingered for a moment on Rachel and Harvey's clasped hands before slowly moving away.

Just as Leo was about to mock this defeated dog in his heart, he noticed that the man's eyes were fixed on his drone, with a hint of "malice" in his gaze.

He was startled, knowing that Batman had his eye on him again.

This person's code name clearly contains the word "hero," but his clothing style, the timing of his actions, and his habit of stuffing surveillance cameras into everyone he meets all reveal a strong sense of "stealing."

To prevent him from spying on his drone, Leo decided to change the subject.

"Chief Gordon, you'd better bring up that fat guy; there's something wrong with him."

Leo pointed to the obese man in the iron cage who was constantly crying out in pain and sweating profusely.

Gordon's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "What's wrong with him?"

"Get the person out of here first."

Leo was afraid that saying it directly would scare him.

Gordon glanced at Batman. With him there to keep things in order, everything should be fine...

After several police officers brought the man out, the huge fat man, who looked to weigh at least 300 pounds, collapsed to the ground, unable to get up due to the pain.

Gordon and Batman quickly went over to check and immediately realized that someone had tampered with his stomach.

Leo took out a small device and placed it next to him before explaining, "The Joker planted a big bomb in his stomach. See that square-shaped bump? That's a cell phone. Once it receives a pager, it will activate the bomb and create an opportunity for him to escape from prison."

Upon hearing this, Gordon's face darkened, as did the faces of the audience members.

Human bomb?!

This thing really exploded! How many people there will survive?!

Stupid clown!

At this moment, everyone's impression of the Joker was surprisingly consistent—they all wished they could kill him.

Leo instructed, "Quickly find a few on-duty doctors and have him undergo open surgery. Also, find a few bomb disposal experts and disarm the bomb as soon as possible. My signal jammer can prevent cell phones from receiving signals, but the Joker is a madman. I'm worried that the bomb has a countdown function; if the time runs out and there's no signal, it will still explode."

The undercover operation hasn't been resolved yet, and now a human bomb has appeared...

Gordon turned to look at his female subordinate lying on the ground, then at the fat man who was crying in pain, and felt utterly overwhelmed.

He had a brief conversation with the Joker, who said he was "fighting alone" and that many of his subordinates were not "one of his own."

Now, he has a deep understanding of this.

After a moment of distraction, he quickly regained his composure and decided to get through the immediate crisis before considering the future.

"Go get two people to call the on-duty forensic doctor and medical officer for emergency surgery, and then find the bomb disposal expert. Two more people, come help me carry him to the isolation room!"

"Chief Attorney Dante, could you please take charge of things here?"

Gordon, who had already been promoted to police chief, bypassed "his own subordinates" and sought help from another civil servant, making the officers present lose face.

But the "traitors" were lying on the ground, and they didn't have the guts to challenge Gordon.

Harvey walked over without saying a word and calmed the crowd's restlessness once again.

Just as they were about to take action, Batman stepped forward, took a small device from his multi-functional belt, and clipped it onto the fat man's clothes.

“Use mine; my signal jammer is more suitable for his situation.”

After saying that, he picked up Leo's signal jammer.

Leo was speechless at his distrustful behavior; his signal jammer used futuristic technology, how could it be inferior to Batman's?

But never mind, this person is hopelessly paranoid.

He reached out to retrieve his device, only to see Batman casually stuff the jammer into his pocket.

Leo understood; it wasn't distrust, but rather greed for his superior equipment...

Why are these people's hands so dirty!

Taking other people's things without permission!!

After Gordon and his men left, Leo left four drones behind as guards, then turned and gestured with his chin toward the Joker in the isolation room: "I'd like to go have a word with the Joker, is that alright?"

Batman knew he was being spoken to, pondered for a few seconds, and silently stepped aside.

Seeing that he had no objections, Leo immediately strode off to see the clown.

As he passed by the one-way glass, he glanced inside and noticed that the clown was still handcuffed, and there were no signs of a struggle inside.

It seems Batman didn't fall for his provocation this time.

The Joker must be very disappointed that his beloved Batman wouldn't play with him anymore...

But it doesn't matter, because Leo can play with him!

drop--

The heavy, soundproof door emitted a piercing alarm sound when it was opened.

The clown looked up and was suddenly stunned.

The room was brightly lit, and Leo saw genuine astonishment in his eyes; he clearly hadn't expected to see him here.

"Good evening, Joker. I heard you wanted to see me, so I came to see you."

Leo calmly walked over and sat down opposite him.

Two drones, one on the left and one on the right, aimed their guns at the clown.

Pure White controls the drone, ensuring that in an emergency, the clown can be riddled with bullets in the first instance.

The clown licked his lips, smacking them repeatedly and making an annoying sound.

His eyes, filled with wicked wisdom, were fixed on Leo's face, as if trying to see through the mask and discern his true nature.

A dozen seconds later, he grinned: "Wow... in just half a month, you've gone from a newbie to a ringleader. I can tell you've killed people. You've even ordered others to kill a lot of people. Hahahaha—"

A sudden, unexpected laugh erupted from his mouth, causing Leo to frown.

This madman's eye for talent remains as sharp as ever; his insight rivals that of Batman. No wonder he's his arch-nemesis.

The clown laughed maniacally for a while before finally managing to stop: "Very good, very good! It seems you've grown up far away from the little bat! I told you, his crazy ideas aren't suitable for you; they'd only ruin you! Hahaha!"

Leo's lips began to turn downwards. He was there to mock the clown, not to listen to his fallacies!

"Let's leave my business aside for now and talk about you first—starting with your escape plan."

Leo leaned forward, glaring menacingly at the clown.

"Your plan is perfect. First, persuade Maroney to cooperate with you and obtain his mole within the police department. Then, fake an arrest to lower Batman and the police's guard. This way, the mole can easily take away the unsuspecting Rachel and Harvey. Finally, force Batman to make a choice; no matter who he saves, the one who dies will become a shadow in his heart."

And you can take advantage of his absence and the absence of the police force's main force to detonate a bomb that was planted in the stomach of a subordinate beforehand, creating an opportunity to escape from prison. Once you're out, you can proceed to the next step: continue to force Batman to make choices until he is completely corrupted.

"What a brilliant scheme! Aside from harming many innocent people and creating chaos in the city, it's practically flawless."

He would pause briefly after each sentence to observe the clown's expression.

As he continued speaking, the smile on the other person's face gradually faded, and a rare hint of doubt appeared in their eyes.

Leo felt it was about time, so he had a drone bring Harvey and Rachel in.

Harvey, with his upright and honest nature, glared at the Joker, wishing he could rush up and punch him.

Rachel also looked at this freak and deranged killer with disgust.

Upon seeing the two kidnapped hostages appear before him, the clown's smile vanished completely, and his face darkened.

Leo waved, and the drone took the two of them away again.

When he heard the door automatically lock behind him, Leo suddenly grabbed the clown's dark green hair on both sides of his head and forcibly pulled his head toward himself.

Just as the Joker was about to retaliate, two drones emitted threatening beeps, halting his actions.

"Joker, do you remember what you told me when we first met?"

A smile reappeared on Leo's face, a smile filled with hatred and pleasure.

"Keeping a smile is the key to turning life into a comedy!"

"so--"

"Why so serious?"

Early Signs of Talent: Chapter 231 Leo: "Back in the day, I beat the Joker so badly that all four of his limbs were broken!"

The grudge of being severely threatened by the Joker when I first arrived in Gotham was finally avenged 24 days later.

Leo felt like every pore on his body was open, and he felt completely comfortable.

He couldn't sleep well because he couldn't get revenge!

Seeing the clown's drastically changing expression, Leo's lips curled into a wild smile, and then—

"Hahahaha! Waaaaaah~ Hahaha! Oh hahahaha~!!"

Maniacal laughter echoed through the interrogation room, accompanied by frantic swaying and unrestrained twitching of facial muscles.

The laughter coming from the monitor sent chills down the spines of the officers listening in; many felt a deep unease, as if they were hearing the murmurs of an ancient god.

Batman's demeanor hardened, and he strode quickly toward the entrance to the interrogation room.

The laughter was unbearable even for those listening in, and Leo, as a member of the audience, naturally found it even more unbearable.

It must be solemnly declared here—the one laughing maniacally is not him, but the damned clown!

The "jokes" he told himself actually made him laugh; a normal person really can't understand his thought process...

"Woohoo, woohoo-hahahaha—!"

The clown is still laughing... still laughing... still laughing!

"Enough, shut up!"

Leo swung his hands forcefully, flipping the clown and his chair to the ground.
