At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in the venue:

“Jerome, do you think you can threaten us like this? You are too naive.”

The one who spoke was Barbara. She had quietly approached Jerome without him noticing, holding a sharp dagger in her hand.

Barbara is Gordon’s beloved, and she was once a police officer in Gotham City.

However, during the mission, she was captured by the Madman Gang and forced into the ranks.

Despite this, she still maintains her persistence and pursuit of justice deep in her heart.

“Barbara! You…”

When Jerome saw Barbara appear, an expression of surprise and anger appeared on his face.

He didn’t expect that his most trusted subordinate would betray him at this critical moment.

“Cut the crap out of this, Jerome.

Today is your end.”

After Barbara finished speaking, she pounced on Jerome at lightning speed.

Her movements were swift and decisive, like a cheetah ready to pounce.

Although Jerome reacted quickly, Barbara’s attack caught him by surprise.

He barely dodged Barbara’s first attack, but the pistol in his hand fell to the ground.

Having lost his weapon, he suddenly fell into a passive position.

Barbara took the opportunity to grab Jerome by the collar and threw him to the ground.

Then she sat on top of Jerome and put the dagger to his throat.

“Stop! Or I’ll kill him!”

Barbara shouted.

Her voice was firm and powerful, declaring to everyone: justice will eventually become evil.

However, just as Barbara was about to deal a fatal blow to Jerome, a sudden change once again broke the peace in the venue.

A mysterious man in a black windbreaker suddenly appeared behind Barbara, pointing a pistol at her back.

“Don’t move! Or I’ll shoot!”

The mysterious figure said coldly.

His voice was deep and powerful, the sound of death coming from the depths of hell.

Barbara felt the threat from behind, so she had to let go of Jerome and turn around to face this mysterious figure.

Her eyes were full of vigilance and confusion. She didn’t know who this mysterious person was or why he appeared here.

“Who are you? Why are you helping Jerome?”

Barbara demanded.

There was a tremor in her voice, and she was obviously afraid of this mysterious man.

The mysterious man did not answer Barbara’s question, but slowly took off his hat and mask.

When his true face was revealed to everyone, everyone was shocked and unbelievable.

“It’s actually you…”

Barbara muttered to herself.

She could never have imagined that this mysterious figure was actually a colleague who once fought alongside her—a policeman who had to retire because he was seriously injured while on duty.

“Yes, it’s me.”

The mysterious man said calmly, “I used to be a police officer in Gotham City, and I witnessed with my own eyes the disaster that the Mad Men brought to the city.

Today, I came here to put an end to it all.”

After saying this, he pointed the pistol at Jerome, ready to shoot.

However, at this moment, an even more shocking change occurred.

“and many more!”

A voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the mysterious man’s actions.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man in a white doctor’s gown walking out of the crowd. He was Dr. Lai who was held hostage by Jerome and Barbara.

“Please don’t shoot.”

Dr. Lai said, “I am a doctor and I know how to treat the wounded.

If we can resolve this crisis peacefully, I am willing to do everything I can to help those who are injured.”

The mysterious man looked at Dr. Lai, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

What Dr. Lai said makes sense, but if Jerome and the other members of the Crazy Gang are let go, they will likely continue to endanger society.

“What are you going to do?”

the mysterious figure asked.

There was a hint of uncertainty and doubt in his voice.

“I will negotiate with Jerome and ask him to release the hostages and surrender.”

Dr. Lai said, “I believe that as long as we treat him with sincerity, he will be willing to accept it.”

The mysterious figure looked at Dr. Lai’s determined eyes and nodded.

He put away his pistol and stepped out of the way.

Dr. Lai slowly walked towards Jerome and began to negotiate with him.

“boom!”

A loud noise instantly broke the original tranquility, and the air was filled with tension and anxiety.

Jerome was an extremely smart man. He quickly realized that from the very beginning, he had been treated as a chess piece by Gellerman and was cleverly placed in this complicated chess game.

Then, a burst of hurried footsteps came from afar, like a black storm, quickly sweeping across the entire venue.

A large number of people dressed in black with stern faces surrounded the venue, with the black muzzles of their guns pointed at Jerome and his female assistant Barbara on the stage.

Gordon was already extremely anxious at this point. He looked at the cunning criminal Jerome on the stage, his heart filled with helplessness and anger.

He was simply at a loss as to how to subdue this cunning criminal.

Jerome, however, paid no attention to the threats around him, he stood calmly in front of the camera, the whole world was under his control.

On the TV screen, his face occupied the entire screen, and his cunning eyes announced his presence to the world.

At the same time, Gordon also saw the face of the magician’s female assistant on the stage. She turned out to be his ex-girlfriend Barbara.

This unexpected discovery made Gordon feel even more mixed emotions. He was surprised and angry, but more of it was helplessness.

“Mad Men Gang?”

Qin Yang held the Gotham scepter firmly on the ground, looking at Jerome on the stage with sharp eyes.

Although his voice was calm, it contained unquestionable majesty.

Hearing Qin Yang’s words, the people around him couldn’t help but gasp.

Everyone knows that Qin Yang is a young man who cannot be underestimated. His strength and background are awe-inspiring.

At this moment, his question made everyone present feel an invisible pressure.

Jerome turned his head with difficulty and his eyes fell on Qin Yang.

However, he did not show the slightest surprise or fear. Instead, he looked at Qin Yang with a smile, his mouth corners moving slightly, as if he was saying something.

This was something that had been agreed upon long ago, a secret known only to the two of them.

“Wow.”

Jerome sighed softly, a hint of amusement in his voice.

He suddenly raised the gun in his hand and pointed it at a middle-aged or elderly man in the audience, “Is that man also your member?”

Qin Yang followed Jerome’s finger and saw the middle-aged man who was being pointed at.

His heart sank slightly, because that person was none other than Bruce Wayne, a well-known figure in Gotham City.

“Don’t forget, this is a live broadcast.”

Jerome’s voice echoed in the conference hall, with a hint of sarcasm and complacency, “Thousands of households in Gotham City are watching, hehe, hahahahaha.” (End of this chapter)
