American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander

Chapter 59 Encounter



Looking at the completely blocked road, Downton opened the car door helplessly and walked down.

Beside him, more drivers who were stuck in the traffic got out of the car and tried to find out the news ahead.

"Damn it, I still have two documents to do!"

"My girlfriend gets off work at 4:30, I have to rush home, why is the traffic so serious!"

"Damn it, what happened in Gotham again, can't the Romans control his city!"

"Who knows what happened, it's blocked so far, damn it!"

Accompanied by endless curses, Downton came to the traffic light and looked at the end of the bridge.

In the distance, flames and explosions came one after another, and it looked like a tanker overturned on the bridge.

The fire truck had not arrived at this time, and the fire in the tanker was too strong, so the car owners near the tanker naturally did not dare to move forward.

Looking at this situation, the bridge will be blocked for at least dozens of minutes.

Thinking of this, Donton took out his cell phone and called Liv.

But just as Donton was calling, a passerby suddenly bumped into his shoulder and walked past him cursing.

"Fuck you, I have a cocktail party to attend this afternoon, I..."

"Wait!"

Before the man could finish his words, Donton grabbed his shoulder and dragged him directly in front of him.

"You...!"

The man was stunned by Donton's pulling, but before he could say anything, Donton's slap had already hit him in the face!

Snap!!!

After a loud bang, the man's head suddenly turned to the side, and more than a dozen teeth flew out of his mouth.

After being hit by teeth for no apparent reason, several people nearby quickly turned around to look for the source.

So in front of them, Donton casually lifted the guy whose teeth were slapped in the air, and then fiercely kneed him in the crotch.

"Oh!"

"Fuck!"

"Fuck!"

"Sizzle!!!"

A large group of men empathized with each other and squeezed their legs together. Downton threw passersby aside and said to Liv who was on the phone.

"It's me, Downton. I'm stuck at the Cain Bridge. Find something to pick me up."

"Got it, Boss Ghost, but I'm just a middleman. I don't have my own helicopter. If you need me, I have to contact Falcone."

"Contact him. Old Deng won't mind picking me up.

I don't know if what I did in Smallville has been spread. If he knew that Lei Xiaogu died in my hands once, he would like me to owe him more favors... huh?"

At this point, Downton was slightly stunned.

"Fuck, it's not him who did this at the Cain Bridge. He shouldn't be so stupid, right?"

After the voice fell, Downton hung up the phone and then folded his hands and waited.

Seeing Downton's arrogant look, the drivers around swallowed their saliva, then stepped back, and some even took pictures of Downton.

While Downton was waiting, in the Falcone Manor.

Falcone had just put down the call from Savage, and then received another call from Liv.

Holding the phone, Falcone rubbed his chin and said to Liv thoughtfully.

"Does the ghost need to use the helicopter? No problem, I'll send someone to pick him up."

After that, Falcone hung up the phone and exhaled heavily.

Beside him, Victor Zass, who had just changed into a suit, asked softly.

"Boss, you don't look very happy, what happened?"

"Nothing, it's just that our Director Savage acted on his own once, he is as stupid as ever, but this is why I let him be the director."

At this point, Falcone waved his hand.

"Victor, take a helicopter to the Kane Bridge in the direction of Metropolis to pick up the Revenant. He was stuck in Metropolis because of the riot caused by that idiot Savage."

"Father!"

Suddenly, Sofia's voice came from a distance. She was seen holding a mobile phone and trotting towards Falcone.

While running, she said innocently like a child.

"Guess what I just saw. A superhuman appeared in Smallville!"

"Oh? Really?"

Falcone took the phone calmly, looked at the video whose clicks had soared to 33 million, and then frowned silently.

Inhale...exhale...

After slowly exhaling a puff of cigar smoke, Falcone nodded in understanding.

"The Revenant is indeed a troublemaker, and the Assassin's League...haha, even if the dragon hides its head and shows its tail, no knight will look up to him. He is indeed too far away from us."

While speaking, Falcone patted the back of Victor's hand.

"You should also watch this video, and then pay attention to his attitude when he sees the ghost later. He really changes amazingly!"

"Wait, the ghost?"

Hearing Falcone's words, Sofia's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Father, is the person who survived in the video the ghost? Victor will meet him later?

It seems that he has a good relationship with our family, so can I go with Victor to broaden my horizons?"

After the voice fell, Sofia skillfully came behind Falcone and gently rubbed her father's shoulders.

Seeing this, Falcone waved his hand expressionlessly.

"Since you want to go, then go. You are not a child anymore. I can't stop you anymore!"

After the words fell, Falcone slapped his right hand back and slapped Sofia's hand away.

As for Sofia, she didn't have any bad face. Instead, she thanked Falcone and left with Victor.

After the two of them left the study, Falcone's right hand holding the phone became more and more tight.

He took a deep breath, then picked up the phone and dialed a number.

After a while, the call was connected.

"Boss Falcone, this is Maroni. What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Maroni, please ask our Director Savage to go to sea."

After Falcone finished speaking, Maroni on the other side of the phone was stunned for a moment.

After a while, Maroni coughed twice and then whispered.

"I know, boss, but... didn't Savage just take office for seven months?"

"He made a stupid decision, and this reason is enough."

Falcone emphasized the last sentence and then hung up the phone.

While stroking the phone in his hand, Falcone looked at the ceiling lonely.

It would be great if Savage, that idiot, really just acted on his own initiative.

If he just acted on his own initiative, his daughter would not look so stupid!

Stupid Sofia, actually wanted to use those simple, straightforward, and extremely stupid means in the socialite circle to play with the whole Gotham?

Apart from Savage, who only knows how to bet on his career, who else can be influenced by her in one day to the point of gambling on his career?

Encountering by giving a little helping hand is indeed a way suitable for young people to get in touch, but she was too anxious, really too anxious!

She didn't even know the real Downton, but she made her plan according to what she thought Downton was!

But is what she thought right?

Is she really stupid enough to think she is very smart!

...

Soon after, at the bridgehead of Kane Bridge, a bus carrying members of the football cheerleading team was surrounded by many men.

Downton held a cheerleader and stood in the inner layer of the crowd, watching the other cheerleaders' impromptu performances with great interest.

Anyway, the traffic jam problem cannot be solved for a while, and the people of Metropolis also know how to entertain themselves.

The cheerleaders are willing to perform, so why doesn't Downton want to watch?

As they watched, the sound of the helicopter gradually approached. In the surprised expressions of the people, the helicopter hovered over Downton's head, and the rappelling rope was even lowered in front of Downton.

Facing the strong wind, Downton looked up and saw Victor Zas sliding down the rope in an instant.

As soon as he landed, Victor said to Downton.

"You are famous, man, you are famous!"

After the voice fell, Victor and Downton clapped their hands, and then stepped aside.

At the same time, a delicate voice came out from the helicopter against the fierce sound of the propeller.

"I don't do this very often, Victor, can you catch me!"

The moment the voice fell, without waiting for Victor to respond, Sophia slid down from the helicopter.

She didn't slow down at all. It's better to say that she fell down than to say she slid down!

Looking at the woman with brown hair in a white shirt and neat breeches falling straight towards him, Donton couldn't help but show an incredible expression.

"Zas, what is that? Is she an idiot?"

After the voice fell, Donton hurriedly walked to the side to avoid being hit by something inexplicable.

Reporting our results to all the bosses, we are now the third in the new light novels! The 25th in the new book list of Qidian!

Bosses, we are actually the third, and we can even look at the second and first!

Bosses, since you have such a good vision, how about lending us some monthly tickets!
