I, V, Gotham Legend

There were exclamations from classmates all around, and they admired Barbara's bold move.

"…You say." Valerie took a deep breath.

Is it time to come? Is this guy trying to use his dark history to force Miss V to do the job? If I refuse, she will definitely shout out Miss V's name on the spot!

If people knew that I was dressing up as a magical girl and eating for free, my image as a mature and intelligent mercenary would be gone.

"Actually... I have some information about the Penguin's weapons depot, but I don't have the means to deal with it so far..."

In fact, Barbara has already obtained this information since Christmas Eve, but if she just destroyed the arsenal, the impact would not be that big except that the Penguin would make less money, and she might also be targeted.

But now the situation is different. The Penguin has been put in a detention center and is awaiting trial. The eyes of the entire Penguin Gang and even the entire Gotham are focused on the Penguin himself.

Now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"I need your help to eradicate those arms trafficking bases." Barbara leaned over and whispered in Valerie's ear.

"Okay." Valerie answered so straightforwardly that even Barbara was a little surprised.

Although she thought V was a kind person, she didn't expect her to be so easy to talk to.

"Won't you hesitate? This is making an enemy of the actual king of Gotham..." Barbara was prepared for some persuasion.

"Saving Gotham is everyone's responsibility," Valerie said righteously.

Barbara admired from the bottom of her heart: "I will pay you for it."

But Valerie shook her head: "That's not necessary. I just ask you not to spread my identity."

Identity?

Barbara was a little confused. Since Valerie was very beautiful and she grew up in Gotham, she didn't think Miss V's outfit was socially dull, and she didn't understand what Valerie meant.

"You should understand... If what I'm doing now gets out, it will have a great impact on my interpersonal relationships..." Valerie was worried that Batman would laugh at her after knowing that she had become rich and was still pretending to be a child and eating for free.

"Interpersonal communication...could it be that..." Barbara finally realized.

His father, Commissioner Gordon, has very strict access restrictions on himself because he is worried that his enemies will come to visit him.

The reason why Miss V has been hiding her real name and even deleted her past records in the government and forged another identity is also to protect those close to her!

"Do you understand? For the sake of my future life..."

"I understand. I won't tell anyone that it's you who's doing these things." Barbara answered firmly, "But I think you can try wearing a mask."

Just like that Batman.

Valerie shook her head and refused: "If you wear a mask, it will defeat the purpose of exercising."

Barbara didn't know what Valerie's training meant, but she thought it should be a secret of people with super powers, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"Thank you so much, Miss V."

"Since everything is fine...well, I'll go first!" Valerie's little feet had already dug out a space station.

After exchanging contact information with Barbara, she immediately stood up and wanted to leave.

When the classmates around saw Valerie stand up, they immediately retracted their gazes and pretended to be doing their own things, but they would still sneak a peek at her out of the corner of their eyes.

But Valerie had already turned on invisibility when she stood up, and disappeared without a trace.

"Really... so cool." Barbara sighed as she looked at the direction where Valerie disappeared.

"Barbara."

Just then, Sunshine's voice sounded, and Barbara recognized who it was, so she turned around and looked.

"Hey, Tim." Barbara waved to Tim Drake.

"Do you know the gem man?" Tim asked in a low voice.

"Her name is not that...but I just met her today." Barbara also said softly.

"There are more and more weirdos in Gotham recently, and there are also people like Batman..."

"What do you want?" Barbara felt that Tim didn't seem to come to talk to her about this.

"Ah..." Tim was a little embarrassed. He took out a flyer and said, "So, are you interested in going to the circus together?"

……

"Flying Grayson" is coming back to Gotham!

Valerie, who had changed back to her classic makeup, received a flyer as soon as she left school.

"Is this... very famous?" Valerie asked the distributor while looking at the flyer.

She had received flyers from this circus many times during the past few days when she was eating out. She usually just accepted them silently, but today she was really curious.

"Don't you know Flying Grayson?" The distributor was surprised. He didn't have a work badge, so he must be a fan who came to promote the products on his own initiative.

Gotham law stipulates that flyers must have the logo of the relevant company, otherwise they will be driven away.

"To be honest, I don't know much about circuses." Valerie put away the flyer, which could be disassembled and used as material.

"The Grayson family is a famous circus family in Gotham. Their performances are known as magic in the sky! But for some unknown reason they left Gotham sixteen years ago and have been touring around the country." The dispatcher was like a devout believer, "No one would dislike the Graysons!"

"I understand. Go have fun." Valerie showed little interest and waved away the messenger.

"You must go and see it! You will definitely like it!"

Valerie pursed her lips and left the party far behind. She felt that no matter how exciting the circus was, it could not compare to her daily life.

NO5. Let’s rob Wayne Tower together

"prick……"

Victor injected a drop of scarlet blood into the chemical liquid and observed the changes with a frown.

He wanted to figure out how Valerie overcame the rejection reaction, but so far the research had not been very smooth.

At this moment, the sound of the door opening was heard, and Victor knew that V had returned.

Only two people know about this secret laboratory.

"Good afternoon! Old Victor!" Valerie walked slowly behind Victor, carrying a bag of food.

"Old Victor?" Victor temporarily put down the test tube in his hand.

"We're partners, so it's normal to have a nickname." Valerie put the bag on Victor's desk.

"It's just a temporary cooperation." Victor shook his head coldly.

"Don't be so cold, you should smile more. A good mood will help the experiment go smoothly."

"No." Victor hated his own smile.

"By the way, I saw your new refrigerator." Valerie looked at the silver armor on Victor's left. It looked much lighter than the previous one, like a capsule. "Are you going out?"

"..." Victor was silent for a moment, "I want to bring Nora back."

"This is difficult... As far as I know, you are still wanted."

Not only that, Nora is now being held in Wayne Tower, which is Batman's base.

"I don't trust Wayne." Victor shook his head. "Nora will die in his hands sooner or later."

"Then I'll bring her over. You have some important work to do, right?" Valerie felt that it was nothing to sacrifice something for her partner.

"You want to use my wife to hold me hostage too?" Mr. Freeze said in a cold tone.

"...You're a stubborn guy." Valerie was a little convinced, but at least he expressed his distrust directly. "We have the same goal. Even if I hold Nora hostage, it won't have any effect on you, right?"

"I'm not going to put my wife in danger."

Valerie understood that the fundamental problem now was that Victor still didn't trust her.

"In that case, let's go together." Valerie offered a compromise.

Victor said nothing more, but he compromised.

Valerie sighed deeply in her heart about this question, and was also worried about the stiff relationship between the partners.

She picked up the plastic bag on the table again: "Would you like to try it? I made it specially."

Victor took the bag, which contained two paper bags.

"what is this?"

"Corn soup is good for your health," Valerie urged. "I know you can't eat hot food, so I put it in the refrigerator for a while."

"Thank you." Victor simply thanked him and put the bag back on the table.

It looked like he wasn't going to eat right away.

Valerie was a little helpless. She also wanted to see if the little white mouse Lao Wei would have any physical changes after drinking the soup she made.

Seeing Victor throwing himself back into his research, Valerie pinched her smooth chin.

"Or, I'll install a TV for you." Valerie suddenly clapped her fists.

Victor didn't reply.

"If you're bored, you can watch a boxing match or something." Valerie nodded.

Victor wanted to say that he didn't need to watch TV, but he did feel a little bored and annoyed during the few days he was locked up here.

In the past, he could go for a walk when he was bored, but now he is still wanted.

But he also felt that he was not worthy of enjoying any entertainment, and this complex feeling made him struggle inside.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as your consent." Valerie didn't care about that. She took out some materials from her pocket and installed a TV.

"I'll connect this thing to the hospital upstairs later. It shouldn't be tracked by anyone." Valerie hung the small TV on the wall and instructed Victor.

At this point, Victor had no choice but to accept Valerie's kindness. Although he still didn't trust Valerie very much, the feeling of being cared for still made him feel warm inside.

The two didn't say anything else after that. The attack on Wayne Building would take a few more days to plan, so Valerie returned to the design of the space station.

It was evening, and Valerie said goodbye to Victor again. She was going to complete Barbara's commission.

The handle is in someone else's hand, so we have to bow our heads.

……

The Last Bid was once one of the most important strongholds of the Penguin, but it has been almost abandoned since it was visited by a blue-haired mercenary two months ago.

Having said that, this is still an important source of arms for the Penguin. One of the many containers placed on the deck might be a large pile of arms.

Of course there might be normal cargo, but that doesn’t matter to Valerie, as long as they are all blown up.

Miss V jumped onto the ship with a pistol named Kenshin in her hand, to which she had added a silencer.

Originally, Valerie could have killed her way through the entire ship, but she still wanted to try to sneak in properly first, maybe it would improve her composure.

It’s all about bullying the weak, it doesn’t matter how you bully them.

But just as Valerie dived onto the deck and carefully hid behind the container, she was stunned.

She noticed that there was a person lying not far away.

He was wearing typical penguin gangster attire, and there was a submachine gun not far away. He should be a penguin thug in charge of patrol.

Valerie first blinked from a distance and used the scanner to confirm whether the person who fell was alive or dead.

The scan showed he was still alive.

Valerie didn't think that anyone would sleep like this in such a cold day. He must have been knocked unconscious by someone. She approached the man and lifted his still unconscious head.

There are no bruises on his face, so he must have been strangled.

Has anyone gotten there first?

Valerie looked up and saw some scratches on the container.

"Tiebago, do you know if anyone is also targeting Penguin?" Valerie called the person on the other end of the phone using a code name.

Valerie had been on the phone with Barbara during the operation.

“…It’s hard to say. Penguin has many enemies, and he might be taking advantage of the situation to add insult to injury.” Barbara ignored the weird nickname Valerie gave her.

"Could they be eyeing the munitions, too?" Valerie turned on invisibility, jumped onto the container, and observed the entire deck.

None of the containers showed signs of being broken into, but it is possible that they were overlooked as it was only a quick glance.

There was no sign of other patrolling thugs, possibly all of them had been knocked unconscious.
