Chapter 1499 Detective Game
You can earn $10 million just by breaking into Wayne Manor and flashing your middle finger to Batman, and even if you fail, you can get a $1 million consolation payment.
With such favorable conditions, even the vigilant glasses criminal was a little tempted and began to hesitate whether to leave or accept the employment contract.
The criminals in Gotham City want to make a lot of money, and they take greater risks than breaking into Wayne Manor. They sell illegal drugs, resell arms, open casinos and even rob banks, but actually earn less than one million US dollars per order.
Moreover, in the weird Gotham City, the crime rate is very high but the crime success rate is very low, because Batman will always jump out to stop the crime and then capture the criminal into Arkham.
The criminals in Gotham are also very strange. They have the unremitting perseverance to fight against each other. Even though they know that Batman is active at night and it is difficult for them to commit crimes, they still refuse to give up the very promising job of being criminals. They fail again and again. He was caught again and again but still committed the crime again and again.
Perhaps it’s because they were injured by Batman and could receive treatment and compensation from the Batman Fund provided by Wayne Group. Due to Wayne Group’s investment, Arkham’s food and accommodation conditions are also good, so they feel that staying in a hospital or jail is better than nothing. Unskilled, poorly educated and homeless.
It is possible that one of the main reasons for the extremely high crime rate in Gotham City is that many criminals are actually playing with Batman, getting a long-term meal ticket from him, and then escaping from jail and hospital when they are tired of it.
Usually, the price paid by Batman when he is caught committing a crime is to be beaten, hospitalized, sentenced to a heavy sentence, and imprisoned. When he comes out, he is still empty-handed. Accepting Damian's hiring, rushing into Wayne Manor and giving Batman a middle finger, the price paid is just A person who is sentenced to a light sentence for "breaking into a private house" can receive a reward of one million or even ten million US dollars after being released from prison.
When the criminals think about it, this deal is a huge profit. Anyway, Batman kept his oath not to kill. The Joker first beat Batgirl into a cripple, and then tortured Commissioner Gordon to the point of ecstasy, but Batman still couldn't. Killing someone, and even taking the initiative to offer to help the clown, can be said to be quite merciful.
Even if they broke into Wayne Manor, it was just a prank, and the law would not punish them severely. Batman probably couldn't do anything to them even if he was angry, and would not touch a hair of them. At most, he would hand them over to the law for trial. Get out of jail with a fine.
With this comparison, it seems that the criminals can't find a reason to refuse. If they really refuse, when the inmates get the bounty in the future, those who refuse to accept the employment and leave will be filled with regret.
The criminals in the tavern talked in groups for a while, and then someone couldn't resist the temptation and ran over and shouted: "I accept employment, where can I sign the contract?"
Damian nodded towards Harley Quinn, who muttered reluctantly: "Why not hire them to kill Batman? It's too cheap to spend so much money just to hire someone to give Batman a middle finger." "
Although she was unhappy, she still took out a formal employment contract from her briefcase. The contract clearly stated that if Damian breached the contract, criminals could even sue him and demand ten times the promised reward. , but there is one thing: Damian is not responsible for whether the criminals were injured or died during this manor-breaking operation.
Criminals don't care about this clause. Contestants who participate in the "Ninja Warrior" TV show in the country of hope will sign this kind of exemption clause. This is a normal exemption content of the activity contract. What's more, if you go to Wayne Manor, which is full of traps, maybe No one will die, but someone will definitely be hurt.
The criminals in Gotham have long been accustomed to a life of crime in which they were injured and hospitalized. They didn't even bother to read carefully when signing the exemption clause.
If someone took the lead, more people would follow. The criminals gathered around and snatched a large stack of contracts from Harley Quinn's briefcase, fearing that she would be late and the quota would be full.
However, those who rushed to sign the contract were all ordinary criminals, while Arkham's super criminals sat indifferently in the corner, watching the show together, unmoved at all.
Damian stepped forward and asked, "You don't seem to be interested in my employment conditions?"
Two-Face bounced the coin. After the coin fell, he looked at whether it was a letter or a flower. He shook his head and said, "The coin tells me that it's better not to participate in such children's pranks. Do you think we become criminals just for money?"
The Penguin sitting at the other table laughed sharply and said: "You can hire me with only 10 million? The money I made from reselling medicines a while ago has been enough for me to spend several lifetimes!"
Killer Croc didn't even bother to look at Damian, he sneered and turned his head away.
The Riddler sneered: "Your game is so uncreative, it's just a kid's prank. How could I be interested in participating?"
Scarecrow, Riddler, Clayface Man...
These super criminals have their own self-esteem and will never give in to $10 million. Although Damian is famous and powerful, they regard him as a junior and will never bow to Batman's son.
After all, Batman has suppressed them all his life. If his son can still boss them around, their lives will be a bit too humble.
Damian lowered his voice and said: "Okay... I have long expected that no matter how much commission I offer, you will not accept it. I am not talking about employment with you, but about cooperation. Those money-grubbing criminals are just acting like a middle finger. Use the smoke bomb to cover up. While Batman is busy beating up these idiots who rushed up to give him the middle finger, I hope you can take advantage of the chaos to sneak into Wayne Manor and find conclusive evidence that Bruce Wayne killed the Joker."
This time, a group of super criminals cast interested glances. Two-Face bounced the coin again, looked at the lettering on the coin, and asked, "What good is this for us?"
Damian's face was sullen, with an ugly face that he wished his father would die: "Think about it, once you find the evidence, I will use all my resources to push for the trial of Batman. Once he is found guilty, he will be ready." When he is imprisoned, I will use my connections to move him to Arkham and be locked up with you. If you have any grudges against him, you can retaliate at any time and you can beat Batman for fun while you are recovering."
When the super criminals heard what Damian said, their eyes suddenly lit up, looking forward to a good life where they could beat Batman for fun every day after eating and sleeping.
"The rumors about the feud between Wayne and his son seem to be true." Penguin smiled and said: "Bruce Wayne was so wise that he gave birth to a son like you. This is probably retribution."
Damian smiled sinisterly and said: "I spent a lot of money just to create opportunities for you. In the past, Batman was checking your criminal evidence, but now you are checking his criminal evidence and handing him over to the police and sending him to jail. Isn’t this interesting? How about you, would you like to participate in this detective game?”
