"Ding"

The elevator leading to the lowest level of Arkham Asylum opened, and a group of well-trained black-clad warriors flooded out. The leader of the group held a bunch of keys in his hand.

The keys were still dripping with blood.

It seemed that he didn't acquire them peacefully.

The elevator closed silently behind them, without attracting the attention of the Assassin League's warriors. Inside the elevator, Mason, concealed by his invisibility cloak, saw a iron door being opened.

Amidst the strange roaring sound, a "humanoid crocodile" with a tail and a cage on its head walked out.

As the elevator door closed and started ascending, Harley, covering her mouth tightly, whispered in fear:

"That's the Killer Croc... Oh my god, what are they planning to do?"

"Hasn't the Joker already revealed the answer?"

Mason took out his shotgun and loaded a specially marked magazine into the chamber, while observing the ascending elevator floors.

Even in this troublesome moment, his voice remained calm. After taking a sip of a calming agent to keep himself in the most composed state, he spoke to Harley in a calm and composed tone:

"The League of Assassins, who want to destroy Gotham, is recruiting 'temporary members.' They plan to attract the attention of Gotham's superheroes with these dangerous cannon fodders while executing their damn 'Doomsday' plan.

It seems that even though Batman has been eliminated, they still fear the Batman family and other people in this city.

It seems that I misunderstood them.

They are not lacking courage, they are just too cautious.

Well, let's get it done. Finally, we won't have to deal with the 'next time' kind of mess."

The young man pulled out a double-barreled pistol and fired a shot at the control panel of the elevator in front of him, causing sparks to fly and the elevator to immediately stop. The emergency brakes on all sides of the elevator made a piercing sound and the elevator finally came to a stop.

Mason took out his captain's uniform from his bag and glanced at Harley, who was covered in her invisible cloak like a bundled-up blanket, and said to her:

"Turn around! Don't look, I'm going to change clothes."

"Oh."

The now distraught doctor obediently turned around.

In this relatively spacious medical elevator, Mason calmly took off his outer clothing and shirt, neatly folded them and put them in his bag, while putting on his gray combat suit. He then said to Harley:

"I'll send you out first. Drive away from here and go to the Iceberg Lounge to find a guy named Kite Man. I'll contact him in advance to make arrangements for you.

By the way, call the police.

We are in the suburbs, and Commissioner Gordon may not receive the news immediately."

"Oh, what about you?"

Harley tried to calm herself down.

She pragmatically followed Mason's example and took a sip of a calming agent from a bottle in her pocket, quickly dissipating her fearful emotions and calming herself down.

She obediently did not turn around.

However, the smooth walls of the elevator were like mirrors, allowing her to almost fully witness Mason changing clothes. The young man's well-defined abdominal muscles and the astonishing muscle contours on his back made the female doctor swallow her saliva.

She suddenly felt a bit hot.

Especially when she was alone with a reassuring guy in this enclosed space.

"I have my own way to leave here, so you don't have to worry."

Mason didn't notice Harley's "peeking." He put on the full-face combat helmet, and as a precaution, activated the filter mask and respirator on the mouth.

With a low breathing sound, he picked up the Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine gun and attached a black suppressor with a square head to the front. He took out two bottles of petrification potion and handed them to Harley.

He said:

"If we happen to get into a fight later, this suit will probably lose its effectiveness. When you encounter bad guys, throw these bottles at them."

"But how do I tell who the bad guys are?"

Harley was about to cry.

After being unexpectedly interrupted on her path to becoming the "Harlequin," she returned to her role as a rational but fragile psychiatrist.

Although her gymnastics training since childhood made her flexible and physically fit, she still felt a bit at a loss when facing the daunting task of dealing with Batman for the first time.

"It's simple. The one shooting at you is the bad guy."

Mason said calmly, and then walked up to the closed elevator door with both hands.

Thanks to the "employee benefits" he obtained from the Star City Society, he was no longer a weak high school student, and his experience of fighting multiple battles gave Mason confidence in combat.

He used both hands to exert force and jammed the elevator door between the first floor and the basement floor. He let Harley, who was wearing her invisibility cloak, climb out first, and then he followed suit through the opening.

He could already hear the various screams and gunshots echoing in the building he was in. He had to take Harley and leave here before things got even more troublesome.

But this journey was destined not to be so smooth.

Almost at the same time chaos erupted in Arkham Asylum where Mason was, a terrible chaos also descended upon Gotham City, with Wayne Tower being the first to be affected.

Several black SVs and three trucks stopped in front of the building, and heavily armed black-clad warriors poured out of the vehicles. Some of them opened fire on both sides of the road, and the out-of-control vehicles quickly collided and were detonated by the thrown bombs, causing flames to rise and chaos to ensue on the street.

The elite members of the Assassin League acted swiftly, leaving a team to guard the entrance and exit of the building, while the remaining armed personnel split into four teams and rushed into the building.

Not only on the ground, but also in the sky, two black helicopters landed on the rooftop helipad of Wayne Tower.

The cabin doors opened, and the Crimson Knight, wearing a red helmet and mechanized armor, jumped out. Holding a modular high-tech rifle, his combat belt was equipped with four pistols and a row of various functional grenades. He carried two straight-bladed swords crisscrossed on his back, and two combat daggers for close combat were also attached to his waist.

These black-clad warriors wasted no time.

They dispersed like flowing water, as if they had rehearsed this countless times before. They entered the top floor of the building from three different directions.

The two helicopters took off again, but instead of flying far away, they circled around Wayne Tower. The heavy machine guns mounted on the helicopters aimed at the building, ready to provide firepower support at any time.

Screams and explosions occasionally echoed in the building, and Wayne Industries' headquarters was quickly occupied by these unexpected guests. However, they didn't cause much harm to the people inside. Instead, they gathered all the employees in the middle of the building and detained them.

As for the Crimson Knight, he had a clear target. With two team members, he accurately arrived outside the office of the Chairman of Wayne Industries. Amidst the sound of glass shattering from gunfire, they rushed into the office.

With standard tactical rolls, the Crimson Knight quickly stood up and fired a bullet, hitting Mr. Lucius Fox's foot just as he was about to escape with his blonde assistant.

Mr. Lucius Fox, Batman's close comrade and the genius engineer of the Batman family, immediately raised his gun to counterattack, but in the next moment, a black-shaped shuriken flew over and precisely pierced his palm.

Mr. Fox dropped the gun immediately, but his blonde assistant, who looked delicate like a vase but was surprisingly strong, rushed forward and gave the Crimson Knight a punch, knocking the high-tech rifle out of his hand.

Her movements were so standard and her fist was so swift that it was completely inconsistent with her delicate appearance as an urban office lady.

It made sense though.

As the secretary of a world-class corporation like Wayne Enterprises, she must have had extensive work experience and outstanding abilities, not to mention that she also served as a bodyguard.

Unfortunately, she did her best but couldn't gain any advantage against the Crimson Knight.

Her fierce attacks were dodged and blocked, and when the guy took a step back for the third time, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the leg she kicked out like a knife. Then, with a burst of strength, he lifted the assistant up and slammed her down beside him, kicking her head mercilessly with his combat boots.

She immediately lost consciousness and blood started flowing.

"Stop!"

Lucius, who was covering his palm, shouted loudly when he saw this scene. He had already taken out his gun and aimed it at the Crimson Knight, but in the next moment, the Crimson Knight turned around and stopped his attack.

He sarcastically said:

"Auntie Kate! You should retire honestly when you're old and not try to act young by fighting and killing. Batwoman has disappeared for seven years, and after being a teacher for seven years, you've really regressed a lot."

"You!"

Batwoman, whose identity was revealed by the Crimson Knight, was shocked, while the Crimson Knight took advantage of this opportunity to fire three shots, hitting Batwoman's unique red face mask and helmet.

The bullets were blocked by the metal material of the helmet, but the impact made the not-so-young woman stagger and retreat, and the Crimson Knight took the opportunity to rush forward and hit her neck with a palm strike.

Seeing the only person who could come to her aid, Batwoman, being defeated so easily, Lucius felt indescribable fear in his heart.

He could now confirm that this Crimson Knight was definitely someone from the Batman family, otherwise there was no way to explain how he knew these unknown secrets.

"Commander! There's nothing in the underground seventh floor!"

Just as the Crimson Knight easily defeated Batwoman, his subordinate reported a very bad news to him, causing the star of death to furrow his brow.

He asked:

"What do you mean by 'nothing'? That's Batman's weapons development center! How could there be nothing?"

"Hahaha"

Lucius couldn't help but burst into laughter at this moment.

He had been annoyed that his laboratory had been emptied, but now seeing this group of Assassin League freaks struggling to break into the building and ending up with nothing made him feel extremely relieved.

He even began to thank the "mysterious" Mr. for the first time.

As a genius designer, Lucius Fox was well aware of the trouble it would cause if the weapons and systems in his laboratory fell into the hands of these thugs.

Compared to this result, he would rather personally give those laboriously developed weapons to a strange thief.

"You were prepared in advance, weren't you?"

Lucius' laughter made the angry Crimson Knight turn his head abruptly. He reached out and lifted the elderly Lucius Fox from the ground, loudly questioning him:

"How could you have moved the large-scale laboratory in advance? Who warned you?"

"Hehe, young man."

Lucius was now fearless.

The old black man grinned mysteriously and said:

"You know, no matter what crisis they face, the Batman family is always prepared! Don't think that bullying a retired lady will showcase your martial virtue. I just said that your failure is inevitable!

And I have already guessed who you are."

The old man looked up and down at the red round helmet that covered the attacker's face. He whispered:

"You are the avenger who crawled out of hell... Jason! Right? You deliberately tortured Bruce like that but didn't kill him. You just wanted to kill Batman, but you still have feelings for Bruce.

Look at you!

You've turned into a monster because of them!

But you still have your own emotions."

"Perhaps."

The Crimson Knight, whose identity was guessed, didn't care about these things. Although the action at Wayne Tower ended in complete failure, it did not affect the Assassin League's operations in the city.

He threw Lucius to the ground and ignored him. He activated the communicator and said to the other side:

"The Batman family was prepared in advance. The weapons and monitoring systems in the laboratory have been moved. The 'Doomsday' plan may have been leaked!

Prevent the Batman family from attacking your side and send someone to take over the Batcave.

I will go there immediately."

"No, Crimson Knight."

A magnetic but cold voice responded to him:

"Come back to Arkham. There's another mission for you here. Let Bain handle the Batcave. They have already set off."

The Crimson Knight did not refute this order.

He walked to the broken window and grabbed the hanging ladder that descended from above. As he was about to leave, Lucius, who was being targeted by three guns, shouted from the ground:

"Jason! You can still turn back, don't do something foolish!"

"I can indeed turn back..."

Jason Todd grabbed the ladder and let the helicopter carry him up into the air. In the moment of leaving, he didn't even look back at Lucius as he said:

"But I don't want to."

"Enjoy your last day, sir. The destruction of everything good and evil, righteousness and evil, is imminent."
