Chapter 126 Chapter 126 I'll be at your door soon

The reason why Black Mask has been able to stay in Gotham for so many years and build his own underworld empire is definitely not just because of his scary face and mental state that is comparable to that of a psychopath.

He knew very well that his repeated hiring of Arkham patients to move the three strange boys who were obviously under Batman's attention and protection would sooner or later be discovered by Batman and would definitely lead to revenge.

But Black Mask didn't care.

After learning from Poison Ivy that the true form of those unpredictable monsters was actually just a teenage kid, Black Mask not only did not worry about retaliation for going too far, but instead opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate the reduced difficulty of the subsequent dungeon.

Black Mask is so calm not only because capital itself is willing to risk the gallows and trample on the law and incite disputes in the face of 300% profit. Black Mask was already a very extreme and irritable person before he became "Black Mask".

He even murdered his parents and turned himself into an orphan. He then removed the lid of his father's coffin to make the first "black mask" on his face.

From this perspective, perhaps even if Black Mask did not find someone to forge his mental certificate and honestly accepted the examination, he could still be admitted to Arkham Asylum.

After all, "antisocial personality" is also a type of mental illness.

Black Mask's ambition has never been limited to Gotham. Rabbit also knows how to dig a few more holes. As someone who makes a living in the underground world, he certainly knows this.

Black Mask has always tried to spread his evil forces out of Gotham, out of the United States and into the world. Not only does he do this, but other gangs in Gotham City have also been following this trend.

But those damn bats always interfere, making their core business scope confined to Gotham.

The forces that can get out of Gotham are either through regular business activities that are legal and compliant in every sense, or they can only act low-key and do things like intelligence work secretly.

Even before Nightwing went to Blüdhaven alone, Batman would even go to Blüdhaven regularly to deal with Black Mask's restless forces, and in one night he could put an end to the deal that Black Mask's men had prepared for a long time.

When Black Mask heard that Nightwing had gone to Bludhaven, he quickly became relieved after initially learning that the difficulty of the dungeon had increased. He even specifically instructed his men there to keep a low profile for the next period of time.

Black Mask knew what was going on in Blüdhaven. Even from a mafia perspective, it was too barbaric and chaotic. This was why Penguin, who was also a Gotham mafia boss, was not as obsessed with opening a branch there as Black Mask.

Let me tell you something that may sound a little strange but is true. Black Mask and many of Gotham's prominent villains grew up watching this generation of Robin. They know that with the young man's stubborn temper, he will not be happy to let Batman interfere. Unless the problem cannot be solved or Blüdhaven is about to explode, they will not take the initiative to ask Batman for help.

But Nightwing's energy is limited, and the Blüdhaven Police Department is almost a one-man show by Desmond. It is foreseeable that Nightwing cannot take care of the entire Blüdhaven, just as Batman could not take care of the entire Gotham when he first debuted more than 20 years ago.

What's more, the times are developing and technology is advancing. Although Blüdhaven is far from heaven, it is very close to Gotham. There will always be some people who think that Gotham is outrageous and will not accept them, or people who do business in Blüdhaven like Black Mask will run over from Gotham.

Black Mask hopes that Nightwing and Batman will focus all their energy and firepower on Desmond. Even if they can't both be defeated in a fight, at least they can keep each other busy, so that he can reap the benefits in Gotham or Blüdhaven.

It means seizing this opportunity to acquire more land, conduct more illegal transactions, clean up the consequences, and launder the money.

With such a beautiful vision, even though Black Mask was thrown into Arkham Asylum by Batman, he felt that the future was full of hope.

But such a beautiful idea was ruthlessly shattered when a young vigilante, a magical boy and several unknown creatures appeared in Blüdhaven.

Although Black Mask now knows that the strange creatures behind were actually transformed by another magical boy, before that, when he learned that a group of super-powered vigilantes had appeared out of thin air in Blüdhafen, and that they would run to Gotham from time to time, and that they liked to target the gangsters and beat them, Black Mask was really devastated.

Stealing someone's money is like killing their parents. Black Mask has no parents, and money and power are the most important things to him. How could he tolerate this?

After a month of hard work, the Scarecrow he hired was defeated miserably, his partner Desmond died suddenly, and the only one who gained something was Poison Ivy, who brought good news and bad news.

Good news: Monsters with a green symbol on their chests have limited genetic repair capabilities.

The bad news: all the strange creatures that appeared were transformed by a teenager, and it is not yet known how many different types he can transform into. This means that the plan that Black Mask had his subordinates spend a lot of effort to analyze the weaknesses of each strange creature and disperse them to defeat them one by one has all gone to waste.

If Black Mask had the chance to talk to the three face to face, he would have questioned them through gritted teeth: "One and a half months! Do you know how I've been spending the past month and a half?!"

But Black Mask didn't stand a chance now.

Because he was now being hit by a magic boy in a cute pink and blue skirt. His staff with an evil red hook brushed against his black mask and smashed a hideous crack in the concrete wall.

Even though another green, unknown boy and Red Hood were holding him back and saying things like "Forget it, forget it," they still couldn't stop him from roaring, "One and a half months! Do you know how I've been spending the past month and a half, you damn bastard?"

"Give Liu O Ming a chance, he wants to be a good man. Give you a chance, you want to be a dead man!"

Originally, Black Mask didn't take these young rookies seriously, but if it weren't for his agility and Red Hood's quick pull, the bird-beak-shaped hook of the staff would have been covered with a smear of white brain matter.

Damn it, this magic boy really wants to kill himself!

"Shouldn't you be in Bludhaven?"

Black Mask held up his broken right arm, and clearly remembered that fifteen minutes ago, his intelligence personnel in Blüdhaven said that Batman, Nightwing, Robin and these teenagers had beaten both sides to the ground with thunder at several locations in Blüdhaven where Black Mask had originally planned to clash with the local gangs in Blüdhaven.

But five minutes ago, this pink and blue magic boy picked up his weapon and kicked the tempered glass of Black Mask's office. The violent fists and kicks like a rainstorm and accompanied by anger fell on Black Mask's head.

Black Mask himself is actually quite good at physical skills. When he first met the magic boy and saw that the little boy seemed to be overwhelmed with anger and actually abandoned his staff and rushed towards him with fists, he still felt that he was not without advantages.

But then Black Mask's left shoulder joint was dislocated by his opponent's superb fighting skills. Before Black Mask reattached his dislocated shoulder, he roared "This is what you deserve!" and broke his right arm with great energy and efficiency.

What followed was another round of unlimited and one-sided beating. Red Hood and BEN 10, who came from behind, had no intention of stepping forward to stop it. They just stood by and watched the show with their hands folded.

Although the beating hurt, the experienced Black Mask had already seen that the magic boy had no intention of killing him. In between beatings, he had time to think:

Although Blüdhaven is very close to Gotham, it will take more than five minutes to get there. It is obvious that these teenagers have some incredible way of moving.

"Okay, I'm done."

But after being beaten for three minutes, the panting magic boy picked up his staff, and just when Black Mask thought he was going to stop, he actually raised the staff and smashed it on the head of Black Mask.

“Now it’s time to pay back the debt!”

If Red Hood and BEN 10 hadn't been quick to act, and if Black Mask hadn't had an excellent reaction ability, Black Mask would have gone to hell to meet the giant today!

"How did you get here so fast?" Back to the present, after realizing that escape was no longer possible, Black Mask began trying to extract more information from the furious and irrational magic boy in order to escape.

"It's fate. It's this unfair fate that brought me here."

In response to Black Mask's question, the young magician wearing a gorgeous white mask cursed with gritted teeth.

"It's because of you that my reputation has become what it is now!"

Black Mask:?

Even though he had been beaten up, and even though he had indeed done a lot of harm to the magic boy behind his back, he still had to say:

"It's true that I framed you, but it's not me who caused your reputation to become what it is. You'd better look for your own reasons."

I admit that I plotted against you and that I am insidious, but no matter how you look at it, your reputation that is not suitable for children is all your own fault!

"Victim blaming? That's even better!"

It was obvious that the young man in front of him was completely furious, and he was even more furious after hearing this. Seeing him raise his staff again, Black Mask rolled to the side with a sense of crisis.

When he looked back, a sharp wind blade hit the black mask's neck right where it had been.

Damn it, why did Batman and Nightwing bring out this guy who just started killing without asking about evidence or motives?

Thinking of the killing techniques that had been affected or changed direction in the middle of the attack, and looking at the killer who was now acting without hesitation, Black Mask couldn't help but have a question in his mind.

...Did Desmond really die suddenly from simple heart failure?

"I know you've seen your enemy who caused your Mercury to go into retrograde for a week, and you're anxious to get rid of the bad luck physically, but don't be hasty."

The veins on Red Hood's arm that was strangling the magic boy's neck were bulging. It was obvious that this action was the result of his best effort.

"We still have something to ask him. If he's killed by you without providing any useful information, we won't be able to report to Nightwing and Batman!"

The magic boy's struggles had obviously weakened, but he was still clearly unwilling to give in: "He almost got Ben and me killed... I'm going to use his skull as a wine jug!"

"Don't do that, it's unhygienic!"

Wearing a bright green jacket, the teenager, who previously claimed to be codenamed BEN 10, stuck out his tongue in disgust and made a "nauseous" gesture.

"Besides, we're both under drinking age, so let's just spare his head."

"Then make a milk teapot! If that doesn't work, use his skull to make a flavor dish, a wind chime, an ornament, or even a scraping board!"

Black Mask thought he was cool enough just because he made a mask out of a dead person's coffin and wore it on his face, but he never expected that there was someone even cooler than him.

Even though the other party wanted to kill him, Black Mask couldn't help but cast an admiring gaze and objectively evaluated:

"You really have the talent to be a gangster and the potential to be a psychopath."
