"Um... did I go a little too far?"
Watching the scene of Bane's life falling apart on the Crystal Ball, Zuo Ci scratched his head.
No matter how many sins a person had committed, going through something like that ought to wipe the slate clean.
He seemed to have, possibly, actually, gone a little overboard.
Batman remained silent, merely turning his gaze toward him.
So you do realize you went too far!
And could you please turn off the camera before saying that?
"Ahem, well, I just wanted to capture a memorable moment. You know, I'm a businessman. Someone might be interested in this someday, right..."
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Zuo Ci sheepishly put away his handheld camera, then deployed his best technique for easing the tension!
Changing the subject.
"Anyway, since we know all the locations now, there's no reason to wait. Bane's yours. I'll handle the other hideouts.
Jack, let's go! Time to get to work!"
Handing the Crystal Ball to Batman, Zuo Ci took off and vanished in a flash.
What is he plotting?
Although they were temporarily teammates, Batman knew perfectly well that while Zuo Ci might possess a little human empathy, he would never be this eager to help.
Rather than taking the initiative to solve problems, he preferred to loaf around and coast through life.
So what exactly was driving him to be so proactive now?
"Money, obviously. What else would it be? Love and justice?
Please, that's for the protagonists of those shonen dreams-pfft, shonen manga next door."
After dropping an Anesthetic Dart and quietly waiting a few seconds, Zuo Ci jumped down from the roof and nodded in satisfaction.
"Hehehe, my darling money, here I come~"
Helping Batman fulfilled his mission requirements, but it also offered Zuo Ci considerable profits.
Right
