Chapter 46: Court of Owls
"The Judge is being targeted!"
Dam's eyes kept looking around, and he spoke quickly, as if he was worried about something, his eyes flashing with vigilance.
"Targeted?"
"Yes, this is the word circulating in the underground world recently. In fact, there has been an ancient legend circulating in Gotham City! Behind all the crimes, there is a powerful organization standing silently. This organization has been controlling Gotham for many years!"
"Oh?"
Lin Jue suddenly became interested. After all, in his impression, there seemed to be no such organization.
Although he knew that this world could not be generalized as he had seen before.
"We all know the name of the organization, but we don't know where they are hiding. They monitor the daily life of everyone in Gotham and are the well-deserved controllers of Gotham!"
Dam lowered his voice, which seemed inaudible in the noisy bar, but Lin Jue's hearing was extraordinary.
"So don't keep us in suspense!"
"The Court of Owls!"
"?"
"It is said that they have begun to pay attention to the Judge. They have always condoned crime and hate both Batman and the Judge. They are really the cancer of Gotham!"
Dam looked angry and a little doubtful.
Lin Jue was not so panicked. If it was his previous self, he might still pay attention, but now...
At least in Gotham, he no longer needs to be too afraid!
With the ding-ling door ringing, the travelers in the tavern began to return home. Dam said hello to Emily and left.
Saying good night to Emily, Lin Jue walked into his room, leaning on the bed as usual, listening to the gradually soothing breathing next door.
Until a beam of moonlight shone through the curtains on his bed, Lin Jue slowly stood up, trying not to make any noise, opened the window, and his eyes that could see at night scanned the dark streets.
The next moment, his figure suddenly jumped down from the window. The moment he landed, his figure turned into a residual shadow and quickly disappeared in the corner of the block.
In a certain college, young people in groups of three or two walked on a street where there were not many pedestrians.
"Really, I really saw the judge!"
A burly young man couldn't help shouting, but his companions obviously didn't believe his words, and everyone was laughing.
This made the young man seem helpless.
"Speaking of which, we are playing so late tonight, will we encounter criminals! You know!"
A blonde girl with big waves couldn't help but chuckle.
"What a joke, those criminals may mess with us, but they will run away when they see you!"
A white young man couldn't help laughing, and his words were echoed by the people around him, as if everyone believed this seemingly absurd words.
However, the girl curled her lips and looked disdainful: "I hate it most when others put me and my family together!"
She strode out of the crowd and walked quickly towards the darkness of the street corner, while the classmates behind her laughed.
"What is Elena thinking? If it weren't for her, we wouldn't dare to stay here until now!"
"That's right, that's right, her family is a famous rich man in our East District, hurry up and follow her, what if we get too far away and are targeted by other criminals? No one will protect us!"
"Haha!"
In the streets filled with laughter, these people followed the girl with smiles on their faces, as if they could be safe by walking beside her.
However, things always go against one's wishes!
Just as this group of people were talking and laughing in the dark streets, a figure suddenly appeared at the bright street entrance in front, standing quietly in the middle of the street entrance.
He seemed to be facing them, but because of the night, these people couldn't see his appearance clearly.
"... Hey! Brother, what are you doing there?"
All the students stopped in the middle of the intersection and dared not move forward, including Elena. The situation in front of her made her frown, but she was not very panicked, as if she had something to rely on.
A male student looked at Elena, then plucked up his courage, walked up to her, shouted loudly, and walked slowly.
But as he approached and cursed, the man's figure did not move, still standing at the intersection where they were moving forward.
"Hey! Brother, if you want to rob, I can tell you clearly that you have offended the wrong person!" The man shouted loudly. Although his words were rampant, he did not dare to move forward at this time. His companions followed him and began to show nervousness.
They gradually felt a hint of unusual atmosphere.
"Elena, my friend, she is from the Grayson family. Brother, you should know Grayson, right?"
The man was a little unconvinced and shouted again. The next moment, the figure standing at the intersection finally moved. In the eyes of everyone's expectation, he slowly walked towards them.
"Fuck! Fuck!"
The group of students finally panicked, dragging Elena and running back one after another, but a male student at the back couldn't help but exclaimed: "Fuck, who are you?"
These people looked in panic, and saw a figure appeared on the street behind them, standing quietly at the intersection where they came from.
"Fuck, Elena, quickly call out the men who are protecting you!"
A student finally looked at Elena in panic, but Elena's face was also a little panicked. She suddenly found that something was wrong. Usually at this time, before she met the criminals, those guys would be held down by her bodyguards hiding in the dark.
But now, looking at the figures on the two corners of the street, slowly walking towards her and others, her bodyguards did not move at all.
At this moment, the group of students panicked again, and two figures fell to the ground, with blood stains on their suits and leather shoes.
"Ah!"
The female students in the team screamed first, and even Elena looked at the figure that fell to the ground with a pale face. Her heart fell into the abyss. She recognized the appearance of her personal bodyguard at a glance.
That was a famous underground boxer, but at this moment he was lying on the ground like a dead dog, with short inhalation and little exhalation, as if he was about to die.
Looking up in astonishment, a man in a black windbreaker and a black cloth on his face jumped down from a building more than three meters high, and landed smoothly amid the exclamations of the crowd.
"I am from the Grayson family, who are you?"
Elena's face was pale, and she shouted with forced calmness.
"Grayson family?"
The voice of the visitor was slow, with an inexplicable odor in his tone, his eyes painted with a layer of black and gray were shining, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
