Except for Cobblepot, almost all the dignitaries who received his invitation came.
This is also normal.
After all, this is a charity party, and no one of the dignitaries or gentlemen present will give up such an opportunity to gain prestige in the eyes of the people at the bottom.
Didn't you see that even Bruce·Young Master Wayne is not exempt from the vulgarity?
Galvin straightened his clothes and then walked into the scene with a confident smile.
After the charity party officially started.
The first step is for Galvin to give a speech as the initiator of this charity evening.
Galvin was already familiar with this kind of scene. He held the prepared speech in his hand. Before walking from the backstage to the front stage, he subconsciously glanced at a group of "circus performers" in the corner of the backstage.
These people dressed up as circus performers are exactly the group of mentally ill criminals headed by Jerome.
Although people from the Gotham police station had deployed security forces at the charity gala a day ago, under the arrangement of Galvin, Jerome and others easily sneaked into the charity gala.
The second link after his speech was a charity performance by this group of "circus performers".
It was also at this stage that Galvin arranged for Jerome and others to expose their identities as a stepping stone for him to run for mayor.
Of course, there are some subtle differences between his real plan and the plan arranged for Jerome and others.
For example, in his real plan, he did not intend to let Jerome and others survive, not only to improve his reputation, but also to kill people and silence them to avoid being exposed when he ran for mayor in the future.
And in the plan he informed Jerome and others, he just wanted to drive away Jerome and others...
Jerome and Ian, who were sitting in the corner of the backstage, immediately noticed the gaze directed by Galvin.
The two of them looked up and looked at Galvin tacitly, and then gave him a smile that they couldn't understand.
Galvin Before he had time to think about it, he was called up by the host.
It's time for his speech!
As soon as he came to the podium, Galvin seemed to have returned to his home court.
He spoke passionately to the dignitaries in the audience. If it weren't for the speech he held in his arms, everyone would probably think that everything he said came from the bottom of his heart.
Of course, during his speech, Galvin did not forget to mock his enemy a little - Bruce·Wayne.
He pointed out that Sang Huai accused Wayne Enterprises of only caring about corporate profits and not caring about the personal safety of employees.
This made Bruce, who was sitting in the audience, fall into silence and his expression was not good-looking.
at the same time.
At the charity gala, another man wearing a bowler hat and a black suit was sitting in the corner of the auditorium, looking at Galvin who was giving a passionate speech on the podium with a smile.
This man is Riddler Edward.
Although the Gotham police station has already deployed a large number of police forces at the scene, all the warnings are in vain in the face of Edward's ability to teleport at will.
On the rooftop of the charity gala, a terrifying-looking Scarecrow was sitting silently on the edge of the rooftop, playing with the smoke bomb in his hand.
At the same time...
In the audience of the charity gala, there were several strong men sitting in the crowd looking left and right.
Although they also wore suits, their strong bodies and unique temperaments were very different from the pot-bellied dignitaries around them.
On the collar of their suits, there is a small badge with the same shape, which is not eye-catching at all.
The pattern on the badge consists of a circle and a triangle.
It is the logo of ARGUS!
Chapter 139 Bruce, let's play a game!
Galvin, Riddler, Jerome, Scarecrow, Bomb Man...
Gotham police station, ARGUS...
The good guys and the bad guys all come together.
Compared with many forces, Galvin, a billionaire, has no sense of existence at all.
Of course, he is still the protagonist of this charity party and is giving a passionate speech on the stage.
However, he soon ceased to be the protagonist.
Just after Galvin finished his speech, according to the procedure, the "circus performers" in the background walked onto the podium one after another under the arrangement of the host.
A circus show that is not funny begins.
The circus performance was not funny, but the clumsy and clumsy movements of the actors made the powerful men sitting in the audience couldn't help but smile.
It is absolutely true that comedy is based on the pain of other people, and the smiles of powerful men are also based on the pain of "circus performers".
If it weren't for the fact that there were other people and media reporters at the scene, these powerful men might have laughed out loud at the actors' poor performance.
However, soon the powerful men stopped laughing.
Because, after the performance, the circus performers on the stage did not return to the backstage according to the procedure.
One of the leading "actors" stood in the middle of the stage and slowly took off the Joker mask on his face.
After he took off his mask, he revealed a face that made everyone present feel fear.
It's Jerome!
After committing two major crimes at Gotham, the face of Jerome has become sufficiently recognizable in the hearts of everyone at Gotham!
No sane person would not be afraid of this madman!
Especially these powerful and privileged people!
"Wow! Wow! Wow! Seporis!!" Jerome screamed and threw the Joker mask aside.
He still had that iconic smile on his face, which made people feel chills in their hearts.
"Dear audience friends, welcome to the Jerome Theater! From now on, I am the starring role!"
Seeing Jerome suddenly reveal his true face on the stage, the expressions of the police officers assigned to the party changed, and they subconsciously reached out to touch the firearms at their waists.
This is also thanks to Director Barnes.
Unlike any previous chief of the Gotham police station, Director Barnes did not let his police officers go into battle empty-handed because all the Gotham City elites were present. Instead, under his supervision, all the police officers were equipped with full sets of body armor and firearms!
At the same time, just as these police officers were reaching for the pistols on their waists.
At the charity party, there was another group of people ready to make a move.
Those are the members of ARGUS!
As expected, Jerome showed up at the charity party!
These members of ARGUS also touched their waists.
Unlike the police officers of the Gotham police station, in addition to carrying pistols, the members of ARGUS are also equipped with some other interesting gadgets.
For example, stun guns, capture nets, smoke bombs that can cause coma, and small electromagnetic bombs...
Although they have not come into contact with other people with supernatural abilities since Wonder Woman appeared in World War II, well, as a secret department that has always regarded Metahuman as an imaginary enemy, they have naturally been doing relevant training.
Just for today!
As soon as Jerome sneaked into the charity party, he immediately planted Invisible Flower in every corner of the charity party, and his field of vision had already covered the entire venue.
Naturally, he noticed all the little actions of those in the audience.
Gotham The police station and those in suits are obviously not in the same camp.
But it doesn't matter!
No one here can run away today!
"Hey! Dear audience friends..." Jerome laughed maniacally on the stage and took out a detonator from his pocket. The other end of the detonator was still connected to Jerome's body.
After Jerome took out the detonator, he unbuttoned his funny the Joker suit, revealing the bomb vest tied to him.
"Congratulations! You are very lucky. Now I announce that you have been hijacked. Now everyone raise your hands above your head and don't act rashly. Once the detonator in my hand is released, the bomb vest on me will detonate immediately!"
"Don't take chances. The bomb vest I am wearing is made of special high-explosives. Once it explodes, it will be enough to send the entire street into the sky!"
As Jerome revealed his bomb vest, the dignitaries present became a mess, and piercing screams continued to echo in the scene.
It wasn't until Jerome took a submachine gun from one of his subordinates with his other hand and fired it at the ceiling that the scene became quiet again.
These powerful men had to face reality. Under the threat of the guns in Jerome's hands, they sat on their chairs and raised their hands above their heads.
And hidden in the crowd were ARGUS members and police officers from the Gotham police station.
They were either trying to kill Jerome or trying to capture Jerome.
But when they learned that once the detonator in Jerome's hands was released, the bomb would completely send the entire street into the sky.
Just hesitated for a moment.
They also had to remove their hands from the firearms on their waists.
They can't be sure whether what Jerome said is true, but they can't afford to gamble.
Even the reporters and photographers in the Gotham media industry were no exception and raised their hands above their heads.
However, at this time, their cameras were still in place, faithfully broadcasting this scene live to the Gotham people in front of the TV.
After seeing everyone in the audience raising their hands above their heads, Jerome nodded with satisfaction.
As for those cameras, Jerome didn't care, and he was even willing to broadcast the scene live.
"Dear audience friends," Jerome stood on the stage with a crazy smile on his face, "I am very happy that you are willing to cooperate with me. Next, Bruce·Young Master Wayne will come to the stage..."
After hearing the request made by Jerome.
Bruce, who was sitting in the crowd, was suddenly shocked!
With an expression of confusion and help, he turned to look at the butler Alfred who was following him.
Alfred shook his head gently at him.
You definitely can't go!
Who knows what Jerome that lunatic will do to the young master? What should I do if my life is in danger?
Jerome looked at the silent crowd. After waiting for five seconds, Bruce still didn't come out of the crowd.
He shrugged nonchalantly.
"Since Master Bruce is unwilling to cooperate, then I can only kill one person every five seconds."
With that said, Jerome took the gun from his subordinate without any hesitation.
Aiming at a member of ARGUS, he fired directly.
"Bang!"
With the sound of a gunshot, the member of ARGUS fell to the ground.
It's a bullet between the eyebrows!
There is no need to worry about death due to delayed rescue.
Jerome has been loaded with Kada Jhin's Hero Template. Even though what he is holding is not the magic sniper rifle, it is a piece of cake for him to make perfect shots.
The first Deadman finally appeared!
The charity gala was once again in turmoil.
For these powerful men present, guessing that Jerome would kill someone and witnessing Jerome killing the person who was sitting next to them just now are completely different things.
These powerful men finally felt the guillotine on their necks!
No one knows whether the next person Jerome will kill will be them!
The eyes of these powerful men began to search the crowd, trying to find Bruce·Wayne.
Although doing so, they left the Gotham City people with the impression of being greedy for life and afraid of death in front of live TV.
However, it is better for others to die than to die yourself!
In the face of life and death, impressions are not important. At worst, after this crisis is over, the goodwill in the hearts of the citizens can be refreshed...
