Chapter 106

As he spoke, Bane suddenly turned around.

He reached out and precisely grabbed Bruce Wayne, who was lunging at him from the darkness, and punched him squarely in the throat.

That punch really hurt Bruce Wayne!

"Darkness has forsaken you, for it belongs to me!"

Bane yelled, grabbed Bruce Wayne with both hands, lifted him high, and simultaneously raised his knees, slamming him down with both hands.

"Bang!"

A cracking sound rang out.

Bruce Wayne collapsed heavily to the ground, motionless.

Bane looked at him, Bane's men looked at him, and Su Quan, Selina, Miranda on the other side of the Teleportation Portal were all looking at him.

This time, Bruce Wayne couldn't get up!

The fight between Bruce Wayne and Bane didn't actually involve much 'skill' and wasn't exactly a spectacle.

The only feeling it evokes is shock, a shock that hits you right in the flesh!

Su Quan could only say that the final result was both unexpected and reasonable.

I thought that Bruce Wayne, who was 'eight years younger', could change his fate in the movie, but he still had his spine broken by Benedict!

There are many reasons why Bruce Wayne was defeated, such as Su Quan, Super Catwoman, bankruptcy, etc. His physical and mental condition was definitely not at its peak.

However, Bane is indeed very strong!

So it's possible for either of them to win or lose, and that's perfectly normal!

Moreover, Bane is Su Quan's target, and so is Su Quan Bruce Wayne. Regardless of who wins or loses, Su Quan will be the biggest winner!

In the underworld, Bane had his men drag Bruce Wayne away, presumably to send him to Deep Well Prison, where he would watch Gotham be destroyed bit by bit in despair.

It has to be said, this is a bit like killing someone by attacking their spirit!

From Su Quan's perspective, if Bruce Wayne were his enemy, he would do the same thing, because it would feel really good!

The problem is, we have to be able to ensure that it doesn't overturn!

"Don't look at me like that. I do admire Bruce Wayne and I do intend to recruit him, but right now, I won't do anything."

Su Quan glanced at Miranda, who seemed worried, and suddenly suggested with a smile, "How about we make a bet?"

Miranda quickly replied with a smile, "Since you're interested in betting, of course I'll oblige. What would you like to bet on?"

"Let's bet on whether Gotham will be destroyed!"

"I won't interfere. If Gotham is destroyed in the end, I can promise to grant you one wish, any wish you want!"

"Even if you want your father to come back to life, you can!"

Miranda nodded, then asked with some concern, "What if I lose?"

Su Quan smiled and said, "I'll teach you a song."

"One song? I give up. All you have to do is learn one song?"

If you lose, you can grant me any wish; if I lose, all I need to do is learn a song from you.

Miranda was somewhat surprised; these conditions seemed far too disproportionate.

Huh?

Why is Selina's face red?

P. S.: The Dark Knight Rises is indeed a classic, but Batman's strength feels a bit weaker compared to the comics or the Justice League version. Also, this world has almost no superpowers, so I can only write ordinary plots, which often causes me to experience writer's block. I look forward to writing the Justice League version, which has more superheroes and more abilities!

Time flies like an arrow; before you know it, a long time has passed since Bruce Wayne had his spine broken by Bane.

Bane stole the Nuclear Energy Core of the weapons and Nuclear Energy Device developed by Wayne Enterprises, and announced to all Gotham City in the stadium that he would detonate the nuclear weapons if anyone attempted to leave Gotham.

Gotham's stadium was bombed, several streets collapsed, and several bridges and other entrances and exits to Gotham were destroyed or blocked.

Bane gave a speech in front of Blackgate Prison and revealed Harvey Dent's true cause of death, clearing Batman of the blame.

And they released all the prisoners in Blackgate Prison who had been arrested because of the Dent Act!

On this day, Gotham, which had become a no-man's-land, was plunged into complete chaos.

The world has been turned upside down, and the sea has turned into mulberry fields.

Gotham, which was originally a place of simple and honest people, has become a primitive hunting ground, where only the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, applies!

The poor have only two options: either stay at home with their doors and windows locked, or go out and join the ranks of criminals, shopping for free with them.

While the poor still have a choice, the rich suffer.

Their home became a playground for criminals, who looted, vandalized, and burned property. They were even taken to a public trial by Jonathan Ryan, also known as the Scarecrow.

The Scarecrow serves as a public trial, a sentencing hearing in which Gotham's wealthiest citizens are forced to choose between death and exile.

Those who choose "exile" will be required to cross the thick ice of the frozen river connecting Gotham and the other side, which will almost certainly result in them falling into the thin ice and drowning.

Yes, Gotham has entered winter and is starting to get cold!

"Bang bang bang—bang bang bang—" The chaotic gunfire disturbed my peaceful sleep.

Su Quan stretched and opened the system to look at the Detection Range section.

[Detection Range]: 2100 meters (Upgradeable!)

I casually clicked the upgrade button, and it instantly turned into:

[Detection Range]: 2200 meters

Although this world, or Gotham, doesn't have all sorts of interesting or powerful abilities, chaos and battles occur here almost constantly.

Especially after the criminals in Blackgate Prison were released, sporadic combat rewards almost never stopped.

After getting up and dressed, Su Quan walked out of the bedroom and greeted the figure making coffee, "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

Miranda turned around, smiling as she handed the freshly poured coffee to Su Quan.

"Bruce Wayne is back."

"Um?"

"Last night Bruce Wayne rescued Commissioner Gordon, who had betrayed the exiled police, and several other officers."

"Half an hour ago, he came here to ask Selina for help, hoping that Selina could use the Bat-cycle to open up a blocked way, Selina agreed."

Miranda spoke calmly, seemingly neither surprised by Bruce Wayne's return nor angry or worried about Selina's help.

Seeing Su Quan's probing gaze, Miranda smiled and said confidently, "If Bane could defeat Bruce Wayne once, he can defeat him a second time. Even if he comes back, it won't change the fate of Gotham's destruction."

"According to the plan, the day to activate the nuclear weapons and flatten Gotham is just a few days away!"

Miranda didn't care about Selina's agreement to help Bruce Wayne, because Selina was also Gotham, and it was normal for her not to want Gotham to be destroyed.

Moreover, Selina herself said that she only used the Bat-cycle to blast open the passage and would not participate in the battle.

With Super Catwoman, injected with the Super Soldier Serum, not participating in the battle, the time to detonate nuclear weapons imminent, and himself, an 'undercover agent' whose identity has not been exposed, how can Bruce Wayne, all alone, win?!

Su Quan took a sip of coffee and said with a smile, "So confident?"

Miranda smiled sweetly, "Anyway, even if I lose, I've already paid the bet in advance, so now I only have one thing on my mind, and that is to win!"

"Then I wish you good luck!"

"I will."

Miranda, convinced of her good fortune, left. Su Quan, sipping his coffee, waved and opened the Teleportation Portal, stepping inside.

On the other side of the Teleportation Portal.

In front of a tunnel entrance completely blocked by various kinds of waste, Selina, dressed in Catwoman costume, sat on the Bat-cycle, her long legs braced against the ground on either side, waiting for the agreed-upon signal to proceed.

Upon seeing Su Quan appear with a coffee cup, Selina hurriedly tried to explain, but Su Quan smiled and shook his head.

"I don't need puppets or dolls without a sense of self. As long as you don't betray me, don't go against my wishes, and complete the tasks I assign you, what you do is your own business, and I won't blame you..."

As long as they do their job well, Su Quan won't blame them for what they do in their 'personal time'.

After all, only free and vibrant people can possess charm; otherwise, it's like an unattractive game—once the novelty wears off, you get bored after a few days.

Selina breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, boss."

Suddenly, a chaotic cacophony of shouts erupted from afar, interspersed with gunshots and explosions.

"Here we go."

Selina murmured softly as she glanced at Su Quan. After confirming that Su Quan truly didn't mind, she fired her weapon directly at the blocked tunnel entrance.

"Boom!"

The missile blasted a large hole directly into the tunnel entrance.

"It's done!"

Selina got out of the car, used the Pym Particles Palm Cannon to shrink the Bat-cycle back into its original size and put it away, then ran quickly and obsequiously to Su Quan's side.
