I, V, Gotham Legend

A heart-wrenching roar was heard. It turned out that the Penguin Man had arrived on the deck. He roared angrily at his stunned subordinates on the shore.

Hearing the Penguin's cry, Valerie suddenly stopped.

Although Valerie never used too harsh a method in order to give others a chance, she still felt a little unhappy when she heard the Penguin's curse.

Mainly because she remembered the mission given by the Romans, to rescue Albert and teach the Penguin a lesson. Although she had beaten them up, with the Penguin's feminine character, just a blow with a hammer was obviously not a lesson.

"What are you doing! Run!"

Albert, who was carried on Valerie's shoulders, saw the Penguin's minions react and couldn't help but urge them anxiously.

But before he finished speaking, his words had already been stretched out in Valerie's ears.

Valerie activated Sianvistan, slowing time to 15 percent of its original speed.

She casually reached into her pocket and pulled out a bottle of red wine.

She took this from the Penguin's secretary. She had intended to keep it as a trophy and use it to celebrate after the mission was completed.

If I do this, I might become a complete enemy of Penguin...

"Okay, just consider it as the necessary expense to become a legend."

Valerie measured the distance between her and the Penguin, then threw a bottle of red wine at him like a baseball pitcher.

The Qilusi artificial eye inherited from the game has terrifying accuracy. The red wine bottle thrown in an environment where time is slowed down does not slow down and hits the Penguin Man's face at an astonishing speed.

"Ow!!!"

In the eyes of normal people, it was just a flash of light, and the sound of glass bottles breaking and the Penguin's pig-killing scream sounded at the same time.

NO3. Mercenaries

"Ouch! My eyes!"

The Penguin rolled on the ground, covering his face, blood flowing down his fat cheeks.

He felt shards of glass pierce his eye sockets.

"Boss!" The minions around were at a loss for a moment.

"What are you guys doing chilling! Take me to treatment! And that bastard! Kill her! I'm going to skin her alive!"

Penguin roared.

The people on the shore reacted, holding their weapons nervously, and tried to surround Valerie again.

Albert was frightened out of his wits as he looked at the dark muzzles of guns pointing at him. He was completely confused and had no idea what Valerie had done.

"Don't be nervous, boss. We should go now."

As if she felt the person on her shoulder trembling, Valerie spoke out to comfort him.

"drop."

Valerie pressed the fingers of her left hand, and Albert seemed to hear something.

The next moment, a blue sports car appeared out of nowhere.

The sports car landed heavily on the ground as if it had been thrown by someone. This sudden change made everyone present stunned again.

Valerie took the opportunity to open the car door, threw Albert into the passenger seat, and stepped on the accelerator.

"Fasten your seatbelts, boss."

Valerie's reminder and the sound of the car's engine starting rang in Albert's ears at the same time, and the sports car jumped out like a spring.

Everyone stayed where they were for a moment and forgot to chase after him. Fortunately, the Penguin Man was busy screaming, so no one scolded them.

……

The sports car was as fast as lightning, leaving the pursuers far behind and soon disappeared from sight.

Valerie drove the sports car into an abandoned factory and took Albert down.

"What should we do next?" Albert's nervous little heart finally calmed down a little, and he bravely asked Valerie.

"Change cars. This is the Penguin's territory. They have remembered our car and the pursuers will be here soon."

Valerie is very patient in answering questions from customers.

"Is it here?"

"We'll sneak across two more streets, then change our outfits and vehicles, and leave here at leisure."

Valerie took the lead and walked to the backyard of the factory, and Albert hurriedly followed.

"Don't worry, I've already figured out the route here." Valerie calmed the nervous customer.

Things developed smoothly afterwards. No matter how powerful the Penguin was, as a gangster force, he could not block the streets in a short period of time. Valerie passed through various hidden alleys and brought Albert to a spacious street.

Then, she pressed her fingers again, and this time, a much more ordinary black car appeared out of thin air.

Valerie pulled two sets of clothes out of the trunk and handed one to Albert.

Albert hurriedly put on his clothes. As soon as he put on a coat, he found that Valerie had already changed into a new outfit.

She changed from a yellow vest with beige shorts to a grey casual outfit and a hat. Albert didn't even know when she changed her pants.

The two of them drove away from the penguin's territory leisurely and sent Albert back to Falcone's mansion.

The Romans were very satisfied with Valerie's mission results and extended an olive branch to her, but Valerie's goal was to become the freest legendary mercenary in Gotham, so she declined the request to join the organization.

With the reward delivered by the Romans, Valerie drove back to her home.

"It was such an exciting day, but it was a pity that we offended the Penguin."

At this time, Valerie, who had finished a day's work, was lying on the sofa watching TV, holding a bottle of red wine in her hand - this was the cheap red wine she bought with this salary, obviously not as high-end as the bottle that hit the Penguin.

The reporter on TV was talking eloquently. She seemed to be from a famous media outlet. She was now preparing to interview the famous richest man in Gotham.

It has been two years since Bruce Wayne returned to Gotham, and this is the first time he has given an interview.

"Batman..."

Before Valerie traveled through time, she had no interest in superheroes, but Batman was so famous that even she had seen one or two related movies, and there were endless discussions about him on the Internet.

In her impression, this Batman is more like a disguised detective than a superhero, and he doesn't have any particularly outstanding abilities. Valerie feels that she can now fight eight people alone.

As a mercenary who aspires to become a legend, Valerie knows that she will face Batman sooner or later, but she is confident in her own abilities.

On TV, Vicki Weir's interview failed, and the Wayne Group's spokesperson made a formal apology to the camera.

Interviews like this are usually discussed in advance. The embarrassing situation on TV should be because Master Wayne canceled the interview at the last minute.

Others might have some rosy imaginations about the millionaire's nightlife, but Valerie knew that he should be having his own unique bat costume party.

Valerie has no good feelings towards corporate dogs. In her previous life, she had seen a lot of discussions about Batman on the Internet. In her opinion, the endless crimes in Gotham are closely related to these capitalists.

However, on the road to becoming a legend, you can't avoid dealing with these guys.

"Cheers to your fame." Valerie drank the red wine in the glass alone, ending a tiring day.

NO4. Entrustment

An unknown new mercenary gave Penguin a big setback!

Rumors spread quickly in Gotham's underworld like an undercurrent.

Although V was already somewhat famous before, he was still not as good as the well-known Penguin, who was even more famous than others. That was why this mercenary became famous overnight.

In addition to the fact that the incident itself was high-profile, the Romans also played an important role in spreading the rumor.

This is also one of the agreed rewards.

It's another gloomy afternoon. Maybe it's because it's on the coast, Gotham is always cloudy or rainy.

Valerie was sitting in a restaurant, wearing the same yellow coat she had worn yesterday when she rescued Albert, staring out the window in a daze.

As a player who claims to be a life-saver, Valerie bought a lot of clothes while playing the game. The fact that she was able to wear this coat twice was certainly not because of poverty.

Wearing the same clothes at work not only gives you a more uniform feel, but also leaves a deep impression on clients and helps spread your reputation.

This coat comes from the crossover plot between the game and the animation. It is the coat of the male protagonist David. Since watching the animation, Valerie has never taken it off when playing the game.

"It's almost time."

Through the reflection of the glass window, Valerie vaguely saw the electronic clock on the wall behind her.

"Excuse me, you must be the famous V."

A respectful voice sounded, and a well-dressed bald man sat down opposite Valerie.

It wasn't dinner time, so Valerie certainly didn't come to the restaurant to eat.

As a famous crime metropolis, Gotham naturally has its own unique industrial structure. This restaurant is one of the places where underground mercenaries like Valerie do business.

This morning, Valerie received a call from the middleman, saying that a serious film company had a commission for her.

"I heard from the middleman that you want me to be your bodyguard?"

Valerie got straight to the point.

"It's like this... Just call me Oli. We are a crew under the Simon Group."

The bald man was a little nervous.

Although the Simon Group is not as powerful as the Wayne Group, it is also a well-known chaebol in Gotham. Its subsidiaries mainly produce high-tech products and daily necessities. Valerie's house also has a water heater produced by them, but it leaked electricity after just a few weeks of use and is now gathering dust in the room.

"Our crew came to Gotham to film two months ago, and we invited local actors from Gotham... Just a week ago, someone sent a death threat to our crew..."

The bald man pulled out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket.

"We also called the police...but you know the Gotham police, they don't have any protection measures. Just the day before yesterday, our assistant director died in the toilet..."

This is very Gotham, but since a murder has already happened, it should attract the attention of the police.

As if he could hear what Valerie was thinking, Ollie continued.

"The police are still investigating... We originally planned to suspend filming, but the investor disagreed and wanted to seek help from the gangs... But the relationship between the gangs has been a bit tense these days."

"You're afraid of being dragged into the fight, right?"

Valerie understood that in the past few days, Black Mask, Penguin or Maroni seemed to be secretly preparing to deceive Falcone. In addition, with Penguin admitted to the hospital, the situation became increasingly unstable and a fight could break out at any time.

Ollie carefully observed Valerie's expression. He had just heard of this man this morning, an absurdly strong mercenary who aimed to become famous and who had wiped out the entire Penguin Gang a week ago.

"The Romans recommended you to us, along with the contact details of your go-between."

"No need to be so respectful. I'm not some killer." Valerie waved her hand, "I'll take it."

The remuneration is negotiated with the middleman, so it is not within the scope of discussion at this meeting.

For Valerie, this was also the first time she was hired by a serious corporate group.

It's great to be famous. As long as you make a name for yourself, big jobs will come to you. But Valerie is very clear that she is only glorious for a while now, and she is still a long way from becoming a legend in her mind. If she doesn't seize the opportunity, she will soon become obscure.

"We hope you can come soon, but if you want to prepare, you can..."

"No need, just go now." Valerie answered neatly.

"That's great, I drove here, you...you can go with us." Oli was overjoyed.

Valerie nodded and stood up to go to the front desk to pay the bill, and she ordered a drink while she waited for her customers.

Halfway through, she noticed that there was only one person left at the next table. That person was holding his head, seemingly having a fierce mental struggle.

This was a robbery gang about to take action, and although they had been communicating very quietly before, Valerie's enhanced perception ability still heard their plan.

It seemed that they were going to pretend to be the recently famous Red Hood gang and rob the bank behind the chemical plant. The man sitting behind the table now was the "Red Hood" nominated by this group of people. If they were discovered, they would push him as the "leader" to take the main blame.

Valerie didn't intend to intervene. Not to mention that mercenaries had no need to take care of thieves, there were thousands of criminal gangs like this in this city, and no one would be so stupid as to take care of them one by one.

However, she couldn't help but think divergently. If she became more famous in the future, would there be such copycat criminals?

After paying, Valerie got into Ollie's car and headed towards the crew.
