Chapter 2089: Knight's Night of Terror (33)

Batman's thoughts were like lightning.

"Take away our power to turn a blind eye to certain transactions." This sentence can analyze too much information.

Batman is of course very clear about the rules of operation of this country. In the United States, the principle of all law enforcement agencies is to maintain order, not to maintain justice.

This can basically be translated as the interests of the country's beneficiaries are maintained by American law enforcement agencies, because social order is their most important interest.

The people they protect will naturally give them power, but this power is not used to arrest them, so the FBI has an absolute white list of arrest targets, and above this line, it cannot be violated.

But since there is a line, there must be some room for ups and downs. Since there is room for floating, there must be someone who uses it to gain greater power.

And the way to obtain such power is not to arrest someone, but to choose not to arrest someone, and to turn a blind eye to some things that hover on the edge of the bottom line.

But the premise for this is that they have the ability to arrest the other party but do not arrest him.

Just like a senior colleague has the ability and evidence to report that you are slacking off at work, but he chooses to do nothing, and you will naturally accept this.

But if you are new or unpopular, your boss will not believe you. If he does not report you, you will just think it is natural.

Therefore, the most important factor to ensure that you can obtain power in this floating space is the prestige of being able to arrest everyone.

Americans are accustomed to the FBI's rough and reckless intrusion into all places and arresting everyone. Sometimes the FBI even does this deliberately to emphasize its absolute law enforcement power and establish this prestige.

At this time, Batman realized that the far-reaching impact of the Gotham disaster was much greater than he imagined.

Because the FBI paid attention to it for the first time, but did nothing. It came but left in disgrace.

In fact, the FBI has always avoided talking about places like Gotham, which has aroused the suspicion of many people, but as long as it is kept secret, it can be said that the matter is not serious or we don't care.

But the problem with doing this is that either you completely ignore it and treat it as non-existent, as long as you manage it, you must take effect, otherwise it will be cowardly.

This time the FBI can be said to be completely cowardly.

Amanda made a wrong decision. When Peter gave her clues, she chose to send people over. Of course, they knew they wanted to catch the military's tail, but others didn't know.

All they saw was that the FBI sent a plane over, investigated it, and left without saying anything. They didn't send a lot of agents to rush into Gotham to arrest all the people involved, as they did before.

This is like a sign of weakness, and everything related to Gotham cannot tolerate weakness.

This is also like a mockery of some people who handed over benefits to the FBI as protection money. You are threatening us in front of us, saying that as long as we give enough benefits, you can turn a blind eye.

But now? It turns out that there is a place within the borders where we don't have to hand over anything and you can't control it? So all the smart people went there, and only we are the ones who are taken advantage of?

The Penguin's propaganda was quite successful. He had solid evidence. The images of the FBI helicopter and the agents that Batman forced to stop in the Batcave were like fatal bullets that eventually shot through the giant's head.

What about the shareholders of Wayne Group? Batman thought, how would they react in this situation?

It is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits, not to mention that many of them are not just businessmen.

If many people now realize that Gotham is actually a lawless place in the United States, not only a paradise for low-end criminal murderers, but also a paradise for their black money transactions, official money transactions, and power swaps, what will they do?

Yes, they will come, but they are afraid of death. Someone must assure them that there is still order here before they dare to come.

And what will they bring when they come?

This is a question that Batman doesn't even have to think about. There is always an FBI in the world, so why can't it be the Wayne Group, a local conscientious enterprise?

The temptation to make rules is too great.

If Gotham becomes the home of gray transactions in the United States, especially those involving power transactions, even a spoonful of soup can make people fat in one bite.

So even if those shareholders who are half buried in the ground are dead and buried, they must open the coffin, dig up the piles of yellow soil, and shout Bruce Wayne, you did a good job!

Batman wanted to say that he didn't do it.

But he is really not very good at speaking, let alone explaining, and he knows that since Amanda has said this, there is no point in explaining it.

Looking at Bruce Wayne who continued to be silent, Amanda said a little collapsed: "You don't want to say that you don't want to pay any price, right?"

Batman continued to be silent, but in fact he didn't know what to say, he was still thinking about how things got to this point.

Amanda nodded and took two steps back, opening her arms and saying, "You know what will happen to me if I get nothing from you?"

Batman finally opened his mouth: "You can go to Gotham."

Amanda froze.

She stared at the man in front of her in disbelief. She had never looked at his face as carefully as today.

Bruce Wayne is very handsome, but now he looks even more terrifying.

In fact, in the minds of Amanda and all the other people who learned the news and planned to participate, there would be no second person except Bruce Wayne who could plan such a stunning feat.

But there are actually traces, right? Wayne is so successful in business, and the whole world knows how talented he is. So it is understandable that he wants to be more than a scientist and businessman, but wants to control the country and the world more closely.

If this is a game that the super genius Bruce Wayne has carefully planned for twenty years, then what else can they do except enjoy it?

Amanda's arms fell to her side, and she said, "It's not that simple, Bruce, you know it's not that simple."

"I can get you out of here alive."

It sounds very tempting, Amanda thought, it sounds damn impossible to refuse, as early as the moment she was tempted, Batman had calculated all this.

As the first lamb to step into the trap, she has nowhere to go now, because she violated the FBI's consistent style of ignoring Gotham, and it was her greed that caused the current situation.

Power can make people crazy, and losing power will make people even crazier. Amanda has no doubt that her boss will take her life, so living becomes a tempting enough option.

"Don't treat me like a beggar, Bruce." Amanda stepped forward, got close to Bruce Wayne, looked him in the eye and said, "Tell me my location, at least my mistake has become the last piece of the puzzle in your plan, you have no right to put me in the open."

Batman, who has gradually understood everything, knows what is the most tempting for Amanda. In addition to being alive, she only wants to catch super criminals.

Amanda heard Wayne say: "The United States will have a supernatural management department that will be directly under the United Nations."

Amanda's eyes widened immediately. It was like the first day she met Bruce Wayne, or the first day she realized that Wayne owned the world, and he should be like this.

As a true helmsman, he can easily decide the future and fate of all things, from the direction of the lighthouse to the origin and return of individuals.

Or maybe he has always been like this, just hiding these ambitions under crazy behavior until one move determines the outcome.

Amanda took a deep breath and turned her head aside. Her weak attitude showed that she accepted such an arrangement. She turned around, her fingers still on the table and said: "This is just the beginning, Bruce. The military is the one who cuts the biggest cake. If you can't withstand their pressure, everything will be in vain."

Batman remained silent. Amanda finally couldn't help but look at Bruce Wayne's expression, but it was still unpredictable and obscure.

As expected, Amanda thought with some despair, cynicism is just an appearance, everyone has been deceived.

Batman certainly knew that he shouldn't use Bruce Wayne's appearance to show Batman's attitude, but Bruce Wayne had nothing to say in this situation, this was obviously not an occasion where he could fool around with a dirty joke.

Playing dumb was useless, and there was no time for him to adjust his personality and find a way to solve the problem without damaging his image, so he could only adopt the most conservative strategy, with a cold face and no words.

Batman thought this was fine, but he obviously underestimated the human ability to associate.

"Okay, megalomaniac." Amanda sighed and said, "If you have a way, I won't be so self-indulgent."

"But I emphasize to you again that some people's transactions are carried out under the protection of the military, and the military does not have the same domestic law enforcement power as us, so they take it more seriously and their methods must be more vicious and radical."

"Think about whether you have any weaknesses, Mr. Wayne. I hope my first trip to Gotham is not to attend a funeral."

This time, Batman considered this issue only ten seconds faster than Amanda.

He must have touched the cakes of many people in this incident. Although Batman does not know how he did it for the time being, there is no doubt that not everyone is a toothless tiger.

Batman asked Amanda to find him a safe room, where he called Gordon. As a result, as soon as he turned on the phone, he heard a crackling sound from the other side, and the sound of wind, roar and gunfire came into his ears.

"What's wrong? Gordon? ... Gordon?"

"Sorry! Batman! I'm not very convenient now!" Gordon almost shouted.

Batman's heart tightened.

"Tell me what's going on now! Gordon!"

"It's hard for me to explain to you!" Batman heard Gordon take a deep breath, and then the usually gentle sheriff's angry roar came from the microphone.

"Now! Your assistants! Are trying to steal your cape in Gotham City!!!!"

It's still the Knight's Night of Terror
