Chapter 126
"Ding, Ding"
Bruce Wayne strode into the very nice reception hall that had been arranged, and he took a glass of wine from the waiter next to him , And then took the spoon and tapped it lightly, attracting everyone's eyes.
He put the wine glass aside, opened his arms, and said loudly,
"Welcome everyone to come to the Wayne Building. Seeing everyone’s enthusiasm for philanthropy makes me feel I am very happy, I am honored to be one of you."
"PA PA"
Everyone applauded, whether it is true or false, but at least In terms of business cooperation, no one hopes to have a bad relationship with Bruce Wayne. The son of Gotham pressed his hands down slightly, and the warm applause slowly calmed down. Bruce glanced at the crowd and said again,
"But the master here today is not me... There is such a person who stood up bravely when everyone was threatened by rampant gangsters, and when the city needed a glimmer of light most, he did not fear the gangsters. He is not afraid of evil minions. He brings us a real light of hope."
Bruce paused, then raised his voice,
"Yes, I think you all know who I am talking about...Harvey Dent, Gotham's new hero, where are you, come, stand up, and greet you with the applause you deserve! Welcome this city will give you praise!"
Bruce applauded first, and the others smiled and opened a way for Harvey and Rachel standing behind the crowd, no matter what their sense of Harvey Dent, or that sentence, at least on this Bruce Wayne occasion Here, all the people here act as if they are good people with a righteous heart.
Some enthusiastic people even shouted the name of Harvey Dent. In fact, in any case, what Harvey did has indeed brought hope to Gotham in the past several decades. Here, no law enforcer can be as honest and brave as him, and no one can think of a good solution to the increasingly rampant gang activities.
He was the first, and he should associate his name with Gotham's history.
And this brave and justice prosecutor is obviously not familiar with this occasion, he is a little embarrassed, and a little uncomfortable, but with the encouragement of Rachel's, he walked forward and shook hands with Bruce.
"Thank you, Mr. Bruce."
"No, no, no, everyone present should thank you!"
Bruce patted On Harvey's shoulders, the two people hugged each other very intimately. The reporter PA PA who was waiting next to him took pictures. They even thought about the news headlines for tomorrow.
"The son of Gotham is committed to justice, and celebrities donate generously"
Presumably this news headline, everyone will be satisfied, Gotham people like Bruce, like any lace news related to him As for Harvey, he expects to appear on the headlines tomorrow so many times, yes, entertainment never cares about justice, that's not something they should care about.
Leaving Harvey surrounded by a group of all kinds of wealthy businessmen, Bruce nodded to Rachel holding his shoulders. The two walked to the balcony in a tacit understanding. Today Rachel is wearing an elegant dress. It looks very beautiful and mature.
Bruce put his arms on the railing, he looked at the brightly lit in the city below, blowing the soft night breeze, he closed his eyes and said with a smile,
"Remember our original agreement? Rachel...about our relationship."
Rachel leaned on the railing and looked at Harvey Dent, who was embarrassed in the crowd. She looked towards the other side. Said playfully, "What did you say? I don't remember anything."
This made Bruce laugh dumbfounded, he took a deep breath,
"You said, When this city does not need Batman's, you will be by my side. Look, this city has its new hero, Harvey. People like him. It’s time for Batman to become history. I’m planning to start a new life. , Rachel, would you like to be with me?" This naked confession made Rachel cover her mouth in surprise. There was a touch of moisture in her eyes. After a while, she sighed with relief.
p>
"I thought you couldn't let go of this city. I thought I would have to wait a long time..."
"Without you, I don't think everything I have done makes sense."
Bruce whispered, "Whether it is to become Batman or Bruce Wayne, I hope that there will be someone beside me who makes me feel happy. I have been waiting long enough, I almost Giving up on you, I have hurt you before, but I swear... there won’t be another time."
He looked at Rachel, pursed his mouth, and took out a black velvet box from his pocket. There should be a very luxurious gem or a ring, but it was stopped by Rachel.
"No, not on this occasion..."
In Rachel's eyes There was a smile, "In the place where we played when we were young... okay?"
Bruce also showed a smile on his face. There is no doubt that Rachel agreed to his request. She responded to him. He Very happy, he looked at Harvey,
"Poor Harvey, he might have thought he could take you away from me..."
"He's fine, But he just came late."
Rachel's hand and Bruce’s hand were held together, she whispered a little dazedly,
"You are such a lucky guy, hope Harvey won’t be sad. We can’t hurt him. Frankly speaking, I was really tempted by him for a while, especially when you were busy with your heroes. I was thinking about giving up. After all, Batman needs Batgirl, he doesn’t need a censor Assistant to the prosecutor. "
"No, no, no, what I need will always be you. "
Bruce smiled at the corner of his mouth. He was about to talk when the phone in his pocket rang suddenly. He picked up the phone and Gordon’s voice came.
"Bruce...protect Good Harvey, he is Joker's next goal. "
Bruce complexion changed, he complied,
"Got it! "
Rachel also heard Gordon’s voice, her face became anxious, she looked at Bruce, who took a deep breath,
"Bring Harvey over , Don't alarm other people... we have to protect him. "
Rachel nodded, she walked over and said something to Harvey calmly, and then the two walked to the balcony. In an inconspicuous corner, Harvey asked with a smile,
p>"My Rachel, you want to tell me..."
"peng"
A hand that popped out of the darkness cut on Harvey's neck , Harvey turned his eyes up and fell into Bruce’s arms. The latter said to Rachel,
"Take care of yourself and find a place to hide. They are coming soon. Don't come out until I come back! do you know? "
Bruce looked at Harvey and said seriously to Rachel that the latter was nodded. With the chaos of Cyber and Devil Gang, Bruce was not as busy as he was destined, and he also had some time to accompany Rachel. The latter had full confidence in him, and Bruce would never let a madman harm his future wife.
Less than 2 minutes after Bruce left, the whole reception was still in order. On the first floor of the Wayne Building, the door of the elevator coming up from the basement quietly opened. The security guard was greeted by three police officers holding police badges. The security guard was shocked. Next moment, a group of guys with Joker masks on their faces They rushed out from behind them.
"peng peng peng peng"
The gunfire sounded, and the four corpses fell on the ground, blood was flooding the floor. Joker snorted, with his seven subordinates carrying guns and walking into the business elevator leading to the 25th floor, he hummed, and the black oil paint was full of excitement in his eye sockets. If you look closely, you can still find him. His body was trembling, it was a trembling with excitement.
Like a soldier rushing to a battlefield full of glory, but what he did, there was no glory at all, he looked back at himself His subordinates, with the weird Joker masks on their faces, he laughed with a grin,
"Why are they so serious? Brothers …have a smile. "
The subordinates glanced at each other without speaking, Joker's face became gloomy,
"I make you... smile! "
"Hahahahaha"
A burst of blunt laughter came from under the mask, and Joker snapped his fingers with satisfaction, "Right, this is what it takes to attend a banquet My mood, Harvey Dent! Yes, there is Batman... if there is a Batman..."
Joker's shoulders are squeezed, his face is full of extraordinary joy, "If there is him, so much better! ”
“ding dong ”
The word count of the elevator jumps to 25, like the sky that opened the curtain, separating the quiet elevator from the noisy reception outside the door, Connected together again in this brief moment.
The smile on Joker's face is even better, he strode out, pointing the gun in his hand to the sky,
"peng"
The bullet flew out of the muzzle. When everyone turned their eyes, Joker at this moment was as happy as the winner of the lottery jackpot, and the rich saw these strange clothes and held weapons. The guy screamed immediately under the gunshot, and at the next moment, Joker screamed with a trace of magnetic voice,
"La la la! Everyone, don’t be nervous, we’re a fun show arranged by Mr. Bruce tonight... Don’t worry, don’t crowd, don’t push, and most importantly, don’t get anyone hurt. I know this show is great, and I know you appreciate it, so We play slowly. "
He picked up the meatballs on the table and threw them into his mouth. Then he brought a glass of wine from a lady who was so scared that he was so scared that he was there with his gloved fingers. The face of the scared girl who was about to cry flicked slightly,
"Look, look, what a beautiful girl, are you scared? "
Helena Bertinelli didn’t know why she was noticed by this madman who didn’t look like a good person. It was only an accident that she came to the reception. Before leaving Gotham, she wanted to relax. , And then came here, but encountered such a terrible thing.
But still, Joker did not pay attention to her, he returned the glass of wine to Helena, and then I looked around,
"Before the show starts, I want to ask, does anyone know where Harvey Dent is? "
No one answered him, he seemed a little dissatisfied, he was snorted,
"en? Does anyone know?" "
He pointed the pistol at an old man who was not backing up in front of him,
"Well...you look very unconvinced, Old Mister, you know our hero Harvey Where is it? "
"You never want to know anything! "
The Old Mister took off his glasses and looked at Joker without fear, with a touch of contempt in his eyes, "Do you think we will sell a hero to a bastard like you?" Don't think about it! I am not afraid of you! "
"Um...Look what I see? "
Joker spread his hands and exclaimed in surprise, "I'm so happy, an old tough guy!" In Gotham, there are not many people like you...but you remind me of my father...I hate my father, tough guy, I will ask one last time, do you know where Harvey is? "
The safety of the pistol in his hand was opened, and it pressed against the top of the old man's head, the Old Mister snorted, closed his eyes, crossed his hands on his chest, and ignored Joker's threat.
"Hey, your God is not here tonight! Open your eyes and look at me...otherwise I will kill...well, this handsome guy! "
Joker put down the gun, holding a switchblade in his left hand, and compared the blade to the neck of the thin blond youngster beside him. It seems that the next moment is about to splash blood on the spot.
Leonard. Snet’s mouth twitched. He really feels that Gotham is a place of crouching tiger hidden dragons. After being taught by the red devil a few days ago, he was about to leave Gotham's night today. Unfortunately, he became the hostage of Joker. He came to this place for a different purpose than Helena. He came for something here, but now, all his plans have been ruined.
Because in front of him This deterrent madman.
"Wow, the old tough guy is really amazing... Watching a youngster die because of you, even a cold-blooded person like me feels cruel. "
Joker has a mocking smile on his face, "I remember when you went to hell, I explained to Satan that this young man who died of you died in my hands, maybe Satan will let you go. Maybe going back to heaven..."
"Enough! "
An indifferent voice sounded behind him, and Joker turned his head and saw the woman walking out of the crowd, with a smile on his mouth.
"Aha! I caught you... Harvey's little lover! "
