After Jerome said this, he turned around and walked backstage in a generous manner, dragging Galvin's body on the ground along the way.
Gordon and other members of the police team looked at Jerome's back with dismay.
But they can't bet the whole street on whether the bomb vest on the opponent's body is genuine or not...
Even the members of ARGUS have ceased their activities.
They are indeed here to search for traces of Metahuman and Jerome, and even when necessary, they can capture and kill them.
But that doesn't mean they are willing to risk their lives.
But just when everyone looked at Jerome's back helplessly.
In their headphones, the voice of Director Barnes came.
"Shoot! Kill him! This is an order!"
Director Barnes's tone was inexplicably angry and helpless...
Chapter 142 ARGUS's intervention
"Shoot! Kill him! This is an order!"
All the police officers in the Gotham police station heard Director Barnes's furious shouts from their earphones.
All the members of the police team were shocked and could not understand why Barnes would give this order.
According to their understanding of Director Barnes during this period, although Director Barnes is very tough in fighting criminals, the principle he has always adhered to is that he will not compromise or be soft-hearted.
However, in their impression, Director Barnes is not the kind of person who takes the lives of his subordinates instead of taking their own lives. On the contrary, Director Barnes also cares for his subordinates very much.
Otherwise, how could these members of the police team work so hard for him?
Normally, it is absolutely impossible for Director Barnes to issue an order to shoot in this situation!
This is simply gambling with the lives of the entire police team and the people on the street!
Gordon is even more puzzling. As a close confidant, he knows Director Barnes better than other police officers. Although Director Barnes is motivated to fight against Gotham City's criminals, there is absolutely no way he would risk the lives of the entire team of police officers on the authenticity of the bomb vest worn by Jerome!
Even because they were too shocked, Gordon and the entire police team did not react and froze in place.
Just when everyone found it puzzling, little did they know that Director Barnes on the other side was also very angry.
He was right to give the order.
But this is not his original intention!
But ARGUS means the woman named Amanda Waller!
Just now, when he was concentrating on observing the scene through the police officers' cameras, a call from Amanda Waller suddenly called his office.
On the phone, Amanda Waller said that he was well aware of the situation at the charity gala operation.
Obviously, Amanda Waller invaded the network of Gotham police station, and only then can we know what happened at the scene through the cameras on the police officers!
This is not what makes Barnes the most angry.
What made Barnes most angry was that Amanda Waller forced him to give the order to the police team at the scene to shoot Jerome!
Just as Gordon thought, he indeed refused Amanda Waller's order. Jerome was not caught this time. He can wait for another opportunity to arrest him next time. But once something happens to those police officers, they will really be dead if they die!
Unfortunately, Amanda Waller had already anticipated this. She had already obtained the authorization for the order through Director Barnes's direct superior.
Director Barnes must be executed!
Otherwise Amanda Waller has the right to temporarily deprive Director Bass of his command authority!
Amanda Waller doesn't care about these police officers.
To be precise, she doesn't care about anyone except those related to superpowers, including all the people on this street.
She just wants to catch Metahuman, or... eliminate it!
Deadman was suppressed by the first-level official and Amanda Waller. Director Barnes had no choice but to follow Amanda Waller's order and issue a shooting order to the police squad.
Barnes could only pray in his heart, hoping that the bomb vest tied to Jerome was fake.
Otherwise, although Jerome can be killed, this police team and the people on the street cannot escape either.
Director Barnes doesn't want to kill Jerome at such a high cost!
The charity gala is here.
All members of the police team fell into a daze.
But they quickly came to their senses.
Although I don't know why Director Barnes would issue such an order, but for the police team.
The order must be executed.
Some suspicions arose in the minds of the police team members. Perhaps Director Barnes learned from some special channel that the bomb vest on Jerome was fake!
Out of trust in Director Barnes and its long-term execution ability.
The members of the police team present immediately shot Jerome after they came to their senses!
Howling bullets sprayed from their guns.
The sudden sound of gunshots not only startled Gordon, but even the members of ARGUS were also startled!
They didn't expect that the police team would be so crazy!
He shot Jerome knowingly that he was wearing a bomb vest!
The people in the police team trust Director Barnes, but that doesn't mean that the members of ARGUS also trust Director Barnes!
Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of ARGUS members instantly!
On the other side, Jerome was almost walking backstage. When he heard the sound of gunshots, he was also startled!
He immediately blocked Galvin's body behind him and rushed into the backstage quickly.
Fortunately, Jerome reacted quickly and no bullet hit him. Galvin, who was blocked behind him, took three bullets for him!
But it doesn't matter, Galvin doesn't feel any pain anyway, it's just three bullets...
At the same time as the gunshots were fired, the other three Hero Template carriers at the charity party were about to take action.
But when they saw Jerome's next actions and shaking of their heads, they stopped the attack they were about to make and quickly evacuated the scene in their own way.
After Jerome retreated backstage, he did not leave the charity gala immediately. Instead, he placed several purple flowers between the podium and the backstage.
The purple flowers just disappeared for a fleeting moment and then became invisible.
Subsequently.
Jerome took off the bomb vest again, carefully placed it on a prop box backstage, and then dragged Galvin's body out of the scene again.
The bomb is real!
But he didn't expect that this police team would actually shoot!
According to his observations of Director Barnes these days, Director Barnes is definitely not the kind of person who can regard the lives of his subordinates as nothing!
Unexpectedly, I lost the bet this time!
However, Jerome should not be considered a loser in the bet. No one, including Director Barnes himself, thought that Amanda Waller Waller of ARGUS would actually intervene in this operation!
Fortunately, even if unplanned external forces intervene, Jerome has a backup plan.
Just like the vest on his body.
The bomb vest is real, but the bomb controller in his hand is fake. The bet is that the people from the Gotham police station will not shoot.
As for the real bomb controller - it is in the hands of Bomb Man Ian.
This bomb vest was modified from explosives by Ian, and it is very powerful.
It's true that it can blow up an entire street to the sky!
But just in case, or before the plan could be implemented, the bomb was detonated by mistake.
So the controller has always been in the hands of Ian, or Ian is the controller!
Only Ian can detonate this bomb vest!
After Jerome left the charity gala backstage, he ran non-stop to the street.
Although I have loaded Hero Template, Jerome is not confident that I can survive the explosion of this bomb...
Just after Jerome left.
The police team at the charity gala breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the bomb vest on Jerome is fake?
Otherwise, why would he run?
The members of ARGUS also breathed a sigh of relief quietly. If possible, they did not want to be killed by bombs.
Fortunately, the bullet just now did not hit Jerome...
ARGUS members and the police team didn't care about anything else and immediately chased backstage.
Although they have some opinions about each other, at least for now, their goals are the same.
That means capturing Jerome or killing him!
Gordon and Harvey naturally followed the police team and rushed backstage.
It's just that Gordon was slightly stunned. He couldn't understand. This was not like Jerome's style at all.
Is it possible that Jerome just wanted to massacre those Gotham powerful people? Or is it just to cause trouble for Bruce?
Just because of a sudden move, Gordon and Harvey fell behind this police team.
At this time, there were three echelons rushing to the backstage.
The first echelon is the members of ARGUS. They have been in Gotham for so long just to find clues about people with supernatural abilities. Jerome is also one of the clues.
Now that the other party has appeared, the members of ARGUS will naturally spare no effort to hunt him down.
The second echelon is the police team.
Because there were so many people and they had to maintain their formation to prevent sneak attacks, they were a little slower than the ARGUS members.
But it's not much slower.
The third echelon is Gordon and Harvey.
Gordon always had an inexplicable feeling. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.
When the first echelon member ARGUS just stepped into the backstage.
A burst of purple light that Gordon is very familiar with lit up...
Gordon Finally knew what was wrong!
Everyone focused on the fact that Jerome was a criminal.
But don't forget, Jerome once admitted his other identity during a live broadcast on the TV station.
The Caster——Kada Jhin!
Back then, Kada Jhin was able to destroy the main combat power of the Maroni Family by himself. He also had some special abilities!
This purple glow is one of them!
Gordon's heart suddenly skipped a beat!
"Stop! Pull back! Pull back!"
Gordon shouted to the front with all his strength.
His voice even broke due to being too excited!
Unfortunately, Gordon's shout was too late.
Those first-tier ARGUS members have already stepped on it!
