American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander

I saw Jimmy carrying the camera with difficulty and sprinting behind Louise.

As for Downton, whom she was paying attention to, he was sitting on the sofa in the store coolly, resisting the gunfire of countless police officers.

After changing into a comfortable position, Downton inserted the pistol into his waistband amid the nervous looks of countless police officers.

Seeing that he was no longer holding a gun, a policeman immediately reached out to him, but Downton grabbed the policeman's wrist and said in the direction of Gordon.

"You are all experienced Gotham police officers, so you should behave more professionally.

So, why do you think I am unprepared?

Although I was kind enough to let go of that smooth-talking girl, if I had no other trump card, do you think I would be sitting in front of the bastards like I am now?

Then guess again, when will the bomb I arranged in advance explode, and in which densely populated place in Gotham? "

Having said this, Downton grabbed the policeman's wrist and pulled the first policeman who wanted to hold him down in front of him.

Holding the policeman's neck with one hand, Downton lightly slapped the policeman in the face, and then pushed the gnashing policeman away.

Behind Downton, the policemen who heard his words were shocked.

"There's a bomb!"

"He planted bombs in Gotham!"

"No wonder he's so arrogant!"

"Shut up, don't let reporters hear you!"

"Already heard it!"

Gordon looked helplessly outside the store. A large group of reporters all let out surprised and even horrified "Wow~" like teddy bears!

At this moment, the flashes and shutter sounds came one after another.

Louise, who was leading the way, looked at Downton with even more disgust after a pause.

At the same time, looking at Downton who was full of confidence, Gordon swallowed hard and asked softly.

"Why are you doing this, what is your purpose!"

"My purpose is very simple. I want to buy a mobile phone, buy a watch, change into a better set of clothes, and pick up a wallet. My purpose has been achieved."

Downton replied with a chuckle, but his words made Gordon look like he was looking at a fool.

"Don't be ridiculous, Downton. You kidnapped the daughter of a congressman and the Deputy Minister of Defense. You also planted bombs in Gotham. Your purpose can't be that simple!"

"All right!"

Facing Gordon who didn't trust him at all, Downton shrugged boredly.

"You are really smart, Gordon, since you say so, then I will tell you my true purpose!

I want to rule this city, I want to cast my shadow over Gotham!

I will use my actions to announce my arrival to Gotham, and I will also tell every Gothamite in front of the media that their emperor is back from hell, haha! "

Downton laughed and joked, while waving to the female reporter who rushed over.

"Yes, I just want everyone in Gotham to know my name. That reporter over there should hurry up and interview me, or I will detonate the bomb!"

After hearing what Downton said, Gordon was a little suspicious, so he hesitated and asked Downton.

"Are you sure there's a bomb?"

"Do you want to give it a try!"

Downton stared back indifferently.

After looking at Downton for a long time, Gordon finally backed down helplessly because he didn't dare to gamble.

While Gordon hesitated, Downton waved to Louis again.

Although Louise was bold, she was not bold enough to rush into the police circle. She originally just wanted to choose the most daring angle to take a few photos and eavesdrop on the conversation.

So, when she saw Downton waving at her and threatening her, she was stunned.

Behind her, Jimmy couldn't help but swallow.

"Lou... Louise, you can't listen to him, it's too dangerous!

"But if I don't listen, he will detonate the bomb, the damn bomber!"

Louise responded, then walked towards Downton nervously.

Seeing that Louise actually dared to come over, Gordon immediately stopped her and said.

"He is dangerous and we cannot agree to his conditions!"

"If I were afraid of danger, I wouldn't choose this career. Don't worry, everything is my own choice!

And I will pay attention to his mental state during the interview and try to keep myself safe! "

Louise pushed Gordon away and approached Downton with dignity.

Gordon wanted to continue to block him, but Mayor Mitchell's secretary suddenly grabbed his sleeve and dragged him to the mayor's side.

Just like that, Louis walked towards Downton and handed the microphone to Downton.

“Hello, I’m Lois Lane, special correspondent for the Daily Planet Planet.

I want to know what drives you to become who you are today, and why you would implement this in Gotham..."

"etc!"

Before Louise could finish her words, Downton interrupted her with a frown.

"The Daily Planet in Metropolis? You are not a local media in Gotham!"

"Ah?" Louise was slightly startled. "What's the difference?"

"The difference is huge. You are trying to deal with me!"

Facing Louise's eyes that suddenly widened, Downton grabbed her hand holding the microphone.

"Don't move!"

"Sit down!"

"Don't move!"

For a time, countless police officers were on high alert, the sound of pistols being loaded was heard continuously, and the distant voice of the mayor could be heard.

"Can't you just kill him? Don't let him go on. Tomorrow's voters will overturn the city hall!"

Along with the mayor's words, Gordon's explanation came over.

"Mr. Mayor, he is not an ordinary criminal. He is very special. Once you shoot him, he may run away!"

Before Gordon finished speaking, Downton had already dragged Louise in front of him.

The change in an instant made Gordon in the distance feel a sharp shock in his heart, but Gordon was too far away, and the police other than Gordon were really useless.

Downton actually pulled Louise to his lap.

Raising his hand to hold Louise, whose face was full of doom, Downton grinned.

"I remember, it was Louise Lane, haha."

"Yes... it was me!"

Being held in Downton's arms, Louise resisted the nausea brought by fear and agreed with difficulty.

Seeing Louise's stiff tone, Downton gently patted Louise's back and continued.

"Relax, Louise, do you have a boyfriend?"

"No... No, what's wrong?" Louise instinctively agreed.

At the same time, seeing Louise being held hostage by a murderer like Downton, even under the eyes of the police, Jimmy, who was filming on the side, finally couldn't help it.

"Let go of Louise, her father is a general and a senator!"

"What?!!"

Listening to Jimmy's words, Downton didn't react, but the surrounding police were collectively stressed, and they immediately looked at each other and shouted.

"Why didn't you say it earlier!"

"Where did all these connections come from!"

"I have to shoot, fucking explode!"

"No, I apply to shoot, I want to save people!"

"Save people!"

"Save the general's daughter!!!"

In the middle of this group of abstract Gotham police, Downton smiled and put the phone in Louise's hand.

"You don't have a boyfriend, right? Then take my phone. I'll call you when I have time. Don't give it to anyone else."

"Okay!"

Hearing Downton's request, Louise suddenly calmed down, and then immediately proposed a trade condition to Downton.

"I will definitely answer your call. Whether you want me to interview you or to treat you to a meal, I will agree to all of them as long as you are willing to defuse the bomb!

In any case, don't hurt more people, Mr. Downton!"

Listening to Louise's words, Downton grinned and then leaned close to Louise's ear.

"There has never been any bomb, Louise, I just have the courage."

After the voice fell, Downton pushed Louise away and then made a phone call gesture to her.

"Wait for my call."

After speaking, Downton turned into a ball of fire and dissipated in the air, leaving only the completely dazed Louise holding the phone in disbelief.

All around, the police and Gotham reporters were frightened by Downton's disappearance.

"He disappeared!"

"Gone!"

"The ghost, he is the ghost of Gotham, this is the third time I saw him disappear in the fire!"

"He is a demon walking on earth!"

"That is the flame from hell!"

Surrounded by these screams, Jimmy rushed to Louise nervously.

"Louise, are you okay?" he asked with concern.

Faced with Jimmy's question, Louise swallowed hard, and then raised the phone left by Donton to Jimmy.

"I have something to do, Jimmy, I'm afraid I'm in big trouble!"

Please read it again, I'm so bad at reading it, I'm afraid I won't be able to try it next week...
