The mysterious man lowered his head, his eyes flickering, seemingly undecided. Xu Fu did not insist and gave him time to think.

After a brief silence, the mysterious man removed his falcon mask, revealing a face that appeared to be about thirty years old, and said...

“Cohen-Delker greets his master.”

His pale face was covered in cold sweat, and he was deeply mired in an inscrutable sense of humiliation and hatred.

Xu Fu ignored the person speaking to him, looked him up and down, and said with a smile.

"So you're the general manager of the Delk Group. Interesting. Your net worth is only a few tens of millions. Why did you give up being a millionaire and come to Owl Court to run errands?"

Delk said in a low voice, "The Delk family has been members of the Court of Owls for generations."

"So the Owl Court is full of old Gotham City families like yours."

Delke nodded slowly: "According to the information I have, Corif of the Rossier family and Amir of the Belon family should also be members of the Court of Owls. If the master needs it, they can be arrested, and I believe we can obtain a lot of intelligence."

Xu Fu pursed his lips tightly, then grinned: This is a wolf that eats people without spitting out the bones. He just gave up and couldn't wait to betray his comrades.

However, this is the kind of person he likes best; killing them doesn't bother him at all.

To show his sincerity and to save his own life, Delk revealed everything he should and shouldn't have said, especially about tonight's operation: the Court of Owls had decided to launch a night of revenge in order to reshape Gotham.

Tonight, they will launch an operation to take out the mayor, district attorney, police chief, and precinct commander. After receiving this news, Xu Fu frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then sent a text message to Barbara.

After the conversation, Xu Fu led William Gable out of the cave, leaving Delk unconscious in the woods. As for what to do next, the clever Xu Fu naturally knew how to handle it.

...

Tonight will be a sleepless night for Gotham City, just as the nursery rhyme goes: When the owl bares its claws, the whole of Gotham City trembles.

Robbers clad in Tesla-powered armor, led by riflemen, stormed Gotham's upper echelons. Their numbers outnumbered the guards, and even the well-equipped armed forces could not hold them off.

Fierce fighting broke out in the mayor's office, the prosecutor's office, and the police station.

If it weren't for Barbara's warning and the series of emergency measures taken by Harvey Dent and the Wayne Group, Gotham City's top leadership would likely have been wiped out.

Of course, the most important one is Batman, who guarded City Hall and single-handedly blocked the attack of four gunmen.

More and more armed police appeared outside the Gotham City Police Department. Seeing that the situation was not good, Leafclaw had no choice but to give the order to retreat.

A group of thugs jumped out of the police cars that had formed a perimeter, and like a monkey with wings, they disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye!

Jim Gordon was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

The bandits wore armor that bullets couldn't penetrate, and with the addition of sniper rifles, ordinary weapons couldn't cause them any damage. Moreover, the strength and speed they displayed were absolutely superhuman; for ordinary people, getting close meant certain death.

The police station suffered heavy casualties, with more than a dozen wounded. Fortunately, no one died, which was considered extremely lucky.

Looking at the smoke-filled police station, Jim Gordon couldn't help but sigh. Gotham City, which had just regained its peace, was likely to fall into turmoil again because of this case.

Barbara tilted her head, pursed her lips, and said.

"Why are you sighing? Didn't we win?"

Jim Gordon shook his head and turned his gaze to the suddenly appearing "hero." The man was wearing power armor and his voice was deliberately lowered, but for some reason, there was a strange sense of familiarity about him.

This is really weird!

Barbara stuck out her tongue: her father's expression made her very uncomfortable, and after thinking about it, she decided to leave first.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now!"

"stop!"

Jim smiled instinctively, as if he had repeated this countless times at home. In an instant, a light flashed in his mind, and he understood everything. No wonder the voice sounded so familiar, no wonder the movements were so familiar.

It turned out to be his own daughter! He was both amused and exasperated!

"You... bastard!"

"you you..."

Jim Gordon rolled his eyes and turned green.

Barbara let out a strange cry and stretched out her legs to run away.

"Stop right there... damn it... stop right there."

Jim Gordon was frantic and hurriedly gave chase, but unfortunately, as an ordinary person, he couldn't catch up with Barbara in her power armor at all. A few seconds later, he was left far behind.

Several police officers ran up to him and asked curiously, "Chief, do you know this person?"

Jim Gordon's face was horribly pale. Without saying a word, he turned and left.

People looked at each other, puzzled. What was wrong with the bureau chief suddenly exuding such a powerful aura?

Back at the police station, Jim Gordon dialed his daughter's number, but the call couldn't be connected. Furious, he smashed the phone on the ground and then contacted his wife, Sarah, instructing her to lock Barbara in the house if she encountered her and not let her go out under any circumstances.

At this moment, an adjutant entered and said:

"Chief, Minister of Justice Dent wants to see you."

Jim Gordon, having finished tidying his clothes, said, "Please let him in."

The adjutant nodded, and a moment later Harvey Dent walked into the office with a bandage wrapped around his shoulder.

"I want you to help me find someone?"

"Who?"

Harvey Dent took out a photo and placed it on the table: "The girl in the photo will be attending the Wayne Manor party tonight as Xu Fu-Xiao's date. I'm sure I can get clues about the power armor from her."

Jim Gordon looked at her, felt a tightness in his chest, and couldn't help coughing.

Chapter 1316 Jim Gordon is about to explode

The girl in the photo is wearing an orange-red low-cut dress. She has a curvaceous figure, with taut muscles and a full complexion that shines under the lights, like a fit young woman on the sports field, giving off a unique allure.

She was wearing a white fox mask, obscuring her face, but judging from her eyes and chin, the face beneath the mask must be quite alluring.

Outsiders may not know who she is, but how could Jim Gordon not know?

That's his own daughter!

"what happened to you?"

Harvey Dent frowned slightly, sensing something strange on the other person's face. "Injured?"

Jim Gordon waved his hand, raised his meaningful gaze to the photo, and had to suppress the hissing anger in his heart.

"You mean she attended the banquet at Wayne Manor tonight with Xu Fu-Xiao?"

"Yes."

"What is their relationship?"

Jim Gordon felt a dull ache in his chest as he asked the question.

Harvey Dent thought for a moment and shook his head: "It should be a lover or mistress, but you should know Xu Fu-Xiao very well. He is never short of women. I think this girl must be one of his mistresses."

Click!

The pen broke in two, and Jim Gordon, his face ashen, shouted angrily.

"Bourne! Where is Bourne? Get over here!"

The adjutant appeared at the door immediately.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

Jim Gordon held up a bloodied hand. "Go get some gauze."

The adjutant acknowledged and quickly left, but Jim Gordon was filled with confusion: how did he get injured out of nowhere?

Harvey Dent frowned, staring straight at Jim Gordon. He wasn't stupid; Jim Gordon's series of appearances were too illogical.

Do you recognize the girl in the photo?

"I don't know. I haven't seen it."

Jim Gordon took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag: "But the one with Xu Fu-Xiao is definitely not a good person. Put the photo here, and I'll send someone to investigate."

Harvey Dent remained silent for a long while before speaking in a deep voice.

“Jim, you need to understand the impact of this case. Power armor, Claw Force, and the Court of Owls are all pipe dreams. Their goal isn't crime, but to take over the city. Once they succeed, everything we've worked so hard for will vanish in an instant.”

"And then there's Xu Fu-Xiao. The power armor worn by the bandits is a product of Tesla, which is military equipment. I'm not sure about Xu Fu-Xiao's role in this incident, but we need to find a breach in his armor and exploit its weaknesses."

"This matter must be taken seriously."

Jim Gordon exhaled a puff of smoke and said wearily.

"Don't worry, I'll give you an answer."

Harvey Dent said nothing more and got up to leave the office.

Jim Gordon walked to the window, looked at the night outside, and shook his head repeatedly.

Barbara, you're driving me crazy!

At the Gotham City docks, after a busy day at work, Barbara sat alone on the beach, holding her phone. Seven missed calls popped up on the screen: five from her father and two from her Aunt Sarah.

"It's over, it's over."

The girl lowered her head to her hands, recalling everything that had happened in despair.
