Chapter 81 Dead?
"Damn madman!" Russell cursed, looked at the death knell standing not far away, and snorted dissatisfiedly.
With the interference of Deathstroke, the plan to kill the Joker tonight is in vain.
In this case, there is no need for him to fight.
After the golden light dissipated from his body, Russell looked at Deathstroke, who was standing there without attacking him. He narrowed his eyes and said with a flash of thought: "What is your mission? Kill me, or entangle me?".
If he were killed, Deathstroke's attacks would not stop...
Deathstroke waved his arm, put the katana in his hand back into the sheath on his back, and said in a cold voice with a hint of hoarseness: "Hold you. ."
Pestering and solving are two completely different concepts. As a good mercenary, Deathstroke naturally knows the difference. Therefore, after falling from the car and seeing that Russell did not continue to pursue the clown, he did not continue. Attack, but chose to stop, leaving room for a truce between the two.
Deathstroke didn't want Russell to think that his purpose was to kill him, in which case the two would have to fight.
Putting aside the fact that Russell's current display of strength is pretty good, he may not necessarily kill Russell. Besides, since the purpose is to entangle the opponent, why did he waste all his efforts to kill Russell?
This won't make you an extra dollar.
"Pressing me?" Russell whispered, took a step, leaned against the building on the roadside, raised his head slightly, and looked at the death knell standing on the spot, standing under the streetlight, staring at him like an old friend, He waved and said: "In that case, let's talk?".
The other party only came to stop him for money, and there was no deep hatred. Although Russell was a little annoyed at missing the opportunity to kill the clown, he would not become enemies with the other party because of this.
Not to mention that it's not worth it at all. Secondly, since the Joker can hire Deathstroke this time, why can't he hire him?
"Don't worry, I won't take the opportunity to chase the clown!" Russell said helplessly: "I can't catch up anymore.".
Even if he catches him, Deathstroke will rely on his connection with the Joker to get to the Joker's location first and haunt him again when he appears.
Seeing Deathstroke standing still, Russell's mouth under the mask raised slightly and said with a hint of provocation: "Or are you afraid that I will attack you suddenly?".
"Ha..." Deathstroke raised the corner of his mouth slightly, keeping a certain distance from Russell, standing on the roadside with his arms folded, and said: "The technique of provoking the general is poor.".
Russell smiled and said: "But it's still effective.".
Deathstroke stood quietly on the roadside, like a silent statue. He felt that he would not leave Russell's side until the results came out from the clown.
Russell also saw this, but today he had given up on killing the clown, so he didn't feel impatient.
"Are you interested in doing business?"
"Business?" Deathstroke looked at Russell strangely. No one had discussed business with him under such circumstances. He stared at Russell with one eye and said with a hint of novelty: " You...are interesting."
"As long as you are able to pay me enough."
"Don't worry about the reward." Russell said lightly, and said, "How can I contact you?"
There are some things that neither he nor Caesar or other people related to him should take action against.
In this case, a mercenary with strong abilities and guaranteed reputation is a very good option.
Deathstroke said coldly: "My contact information is not difficult for some people to find in Gotham. Just look for it yourself."
Being able to find his contact information is also one of the criteria for him to screen whether the client has the ability to pay him.
Russell nodded. Seeing that Deathstroke had no intention of continuing to chat with him, he shrugged and waited quietly.
After a moment, Deathstroke seemed to have received some news. He glanced at Russell, nodded slightly and disappeared. The communicator in Russell's ear also sounded Caesar's voice almost at the same time.
"Master, it seems you have failed."
"Yes, you are entangled by a difficult guy." Russell said while speeding towards the hotel: "A mercenary named Deathstroke, Caesar, have you heard of it? ?".
"Death knell?" Caesar groaned and said, "I seem to have heard it somewhere. I will check it out."
"Well, let's find his contact information in Gotham first."
"Master, do you want to hire him?" Caesar guessed Russell's plan.
Russell raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't you think there are some things that are more convenient for him than us? For example, dealing with gangs."
Caesar responded in a low voice and said: "It is indeed better than doing it ourselves.".
Even if he concealed his identity, he did it by himself and left a source of gossip in the eyes of many people. Although he couldn't do anything to them, it didn't look good when he said it.
It's different if you hire someone. Even if the evidence is presented, they can say it's a false accusation.
"By the way, Caesar! What's the result? Where's the clown?" Russell asked with concern.
He wanted to know if the plot would change if he participated in the plot but was interrupted midway.
"The Joker was caught by Batman and taken away by the police, but during the Joker's pursuit, the car transporting Harvey Dent exploded." "Harvey Dent is dead? Are you sure?"
Russell He asked in surprise.
Will the Two-Face people die like this in the future? Russell couldn't believe it.
In this case, the plot changes a lot.
"Yes, he was blown to pieces." Caesar answered Russell's question with absolute certainty.
"I know!" Russell responded and said: "Caesar, continue to pay attention to the subsequent development. I will go back immediately."
Maybe it's better if Harvey Dent dies, so that Batman doesn't have to bear the sins caused by Two-Face and doesn't have to live so hard.
However, what makes Russell curious is how will things develop next?
Russell's doubts were answered the next day.
The Joker, who was captured by the police, revealed during interrogation that he had taken a hostage, and the hostage was Rachel Dawes, the lost girlfriend of Harvey Dent and Batman's childhood friend.
In response, the furious Batman interrogated the Joker and was informed of Rachel's location by the mocking Joker.
So, Batman, who originally planned to guard the Joker secretly, left the police station and went crazy to save Rachel, who was dying. Unfortunately, although Batman saved Rachel during the explosion, half of Rachel's face was lost. His face was burned.
As for the Joker, he also took advantage of Batman's absence and used the bribed police to cause chaos and escaped from prison.
