I'm going to have a fight with Superman

Chapter 215 Intrigue, Harley ascends the ladder
The luxury apartment of the Truman family.

The phone rang suddenly, in the dark and quiet bedroom, it was extraordinarily loud and ear-piercing.

"Hi, I'm Daniel." Truman rubbed his eyes, got up, and came to the phone.

He was used to being woken up by emergency calls in his sleep, and his tone was still gentle and polite, without any resentment after being woken up.

"Truman, it's me, Mr. Rose." On the opposite side was the vicissitudes of an old lady's voice.

"Mr. Rose." Truman was stunned for a moment before he said pleasantly, "You are—"

Mr. Rose was the anonymous title of the earlier email.

Hearing his hesitation, the old lady said: "If there is no problem with you, you can speak freely.

The conversation between us is absolutely safe, not even leaving a trace in Wayne Telecom's records. "

Daniel looked around the bedroom, picked up the cordless phone and entered the secret room behind the closet, and said with a smile, "Your Excellency, I am absolutely safe here."

The old lady smiled and said, "Congratulations, Daniel, from this moment on, you are an official member of the Owl Court."

"Thank you, ma'am!" Truman said excitedly.

"There are too many things going on recently, the induction ceremony will be held in late May, after the mayoral election results come out.

The exact time is undecided, but you can wait for my call when the time comes. " said the old lady.

"Well, I'm ready to serve the court at any time." Truman said in a deep voice.

"There is another purpose for making this call tonight. The former liaison officer of the court, Catherine White, was kidnapped." The old lady said solemnly.

"Who did it?" Truman asked in surprise.

The old lady was silent for a while, and said, "It's probably Theo Galavan."

"How did he know Catherine's identity?" Truman asked puzzled.

The old lady said slowly: "I guess, it was Coppert who revealed it.

It was you who told me Galavan might have something to do with the Mad Men.

Then, you should also understand that during the recent period, Coppert has been singing double reeds with Galavan.

Catherine is in charge of external liaison affairs, and many people know her identity.

For example, Hugo Strange who was in charge of Indian Hill, for example, retired Cameron Falcone, for example, Harley Quinn and Copperpot.

But they knew it a long time ago, but they never shot her.

At most, monitor her whereabouts.

Only Galavan, who just came to Gotham, just found out who she is, and just had a conflict with us. "

"Two sharp claws got into the Hanhai Building earlier, and ten sharp claws failed to assassinate him three days ago.

Whoever it is, will think about who the enemy is.

It was only logical that Galavan forced the local snake Cobot to question him. "The old lady said with certainty and affirmative tone.

"The old woman is a smart person! What she thinks is reasonable and logical."

Harley, who listened to Ivy's retelling of the live broadcast, smiled and said with emotion.

"You want to say that such a smart person is also being played and applauded by you." Ivy rolled her eyes and asked curiously: "You guessed that they would have this kind of reaction before?"

Harry nodded and said, "I just didn't expect their reaction to be so fast. Catherine died only a few minutes ago."

"What should I do?" Truman asked.

"I'm worried that Catherine is just the beginning, and Galavan's vengeance on the court will follow.

Likewise, Catherine is no Talon.

Not sure what secrets she'll reveal, let alone what she's guessing about members of the court.

Therefore, I notified all the members and asked them to stay in reclusive residence and act in a low-key manner.

If you are not very confident about your own security, you can leave Gotham tonight and go out for a while. " said the old lady.

Truman frowned and said, "Shouldn't we shoot Galavan to death immediately? He ran away in despair."

"I have sent 12 sharp claws before and after, all of which failed. Especially three days ago, ten sharp claws surrounded and killed Theo Galavan, and he killed five of them.

With a cold weapon and a big sword in both hands, he was hacked to death.

The remaining five people were also taken care of by his two bodyguards. "The old lady said in a deep voice.

"Hiss!" Truman gasped, "Why is Galavan so strong and still using cold weapons?"

The old lady analyzed: "Judging from the moves and weapons, he and his bodyguards are both church knights. I guess there should be a church organization behind him."

"Like the Holy Crusade?"

"Yes."

Truman thought about it: "Is there nothing we can do about him? How did the court handle similar incidents before?"

"Before."

The old lady said in a complicated tone: "Every year, countless forces want to enter Gotham, and there are many dragons as powerful as Galavan.

With the cooperation of Falcone and GCPD, we can easily wipe them out.

Now Cobbot was Galavan's man.

In the Loeb era, GCPD was very obedient.

Even with Acting Commissioner Sarah Eisen, we have her back.

Unfortunately, Jerome killed her.

Then, a new director came in, Nathaniel Barnes, from Washington, a soldier, a man of integrity and toughness, who hated evil.

There is no evidence, no certificate of approval, and no flaws can be found at present-the work of corrupting the sheriff and politicians earlier was done by Kamai, and we are not very familiar with this business. "

Speaking of this, the old lady sighed again, feeling nostalgic for the retired Falcone for the nth time.

Only after losing it did I know how good he was!
"As soon as Barnes took office, he immediately fired half of the police detectives who were corrupt, corrupt and bribed, including several sheriffs.

Bold and fearless.

I don't know where he got the news and evidence, but he caught one right (on the other side, Halle was giggling).

Afterwards, he summoned all the police officers in Gotham to carry out a special campaign to eliminate discipline, and at the same time, he went to the police academy to recruit student police officers to form the Young Guards.

The young people in the school have not been polished by reality, and they are all full of enthusiasm and illusory ideals.

Therefore, in a short period of time, GCPD is hopeless.

As for the witch Harley, she"

The old lady sighed helplessly.

Truman frowned and said, "She won't be honest and obedient?"

"She is well-behaved, capable enough, and willing to cooperate, but we can't accept her."

Then, the old lady told about the Shadow Warrior Alliance.

Truman's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Harley Quinn seems to have noticed something, otherwise, she would not suddenly announce her participation in the mayoral election.

Why don't we just sit back and watch the tigers fight, and even fan the flames, and let her and Galavan fight tragically?

Two tigers fight each other, one dead and the other maimed. "

"Worthy of being the son of 'Wise Man' Harris, he found the key point at once!"

The old lady praised first, and then laughed: "That's how we planned it, so we informed you, keep a low profile, and wait and see what happens."

"I thought Harley you were too shameless before, but now." Ivy said with a strange expression, "You've done a great job! Let them eat dogs, let them die.

Let's keep a low profile and wait and see. "

Harry smiled faintly, "You can't keep a low profile, and I'm running for mayor!"

In the next few days, Harley increased the intensity of the exercise on the one hand, and chose more Gotham gangsters to extract experience points.

She even recruits temporary workers in various colleges and universities, so that ordinary people are also qualified to swing a stick to help her practice.

She has to get to level [-] as soon as possible!

On the other hand, Halle moved around, holding campaign speeches in various neighborhoods of Gotham.

Well, in order to canvass votes, a lot of small gifts were given out.

In the uninviting corners of newspapers, one death after another was published.

Every day, powerful people die.

However, it did not attract much attention from the media and the people, because the current news focus is on the mayoral election.

Like Harley, Galavan also gave speeches and canvassed votes.

He also intends to find Jim Gordon as surety.

That is, to use Jim Gordon's reputation as a "heroic detective" to assure the citizens that he will be a good mayor.

Gordon, of course, refused.

He is still secretly investigating him at the moment.

Then he went to Bruce again.

Although Bruce had a crush on Galavan's high school niece, he wouldn't be so stupid as to vouch for him.

But he had provided Galavan with a considerable amount of campaign funds before, and Galavan could still use the "Wayne trusts me too" character setting.

Halle is relatively simple, did not engage in any form of campaign activities, only to clean himself up.

Uh, that's right, she is moving around, just to let the public and public opinion accept her "living American dream" setting, not to elect the mayor—even if she stays at home and sleeps every day, she will be the mayor. deal.

Recently, Halle has had the idea of ​​participating in the presidential election in the future.

Politicians who don’t want to be president are not good politicians.

She is now a politician, right?

At that time, there must have been many media and political opponents using her past experience to attack her and discredit her.

So, from now on, she will change people's perception of her little by little.

She is not a gangster, she is a girl hero who uncovers the dark veil of the church orphanage and saves thousands of orphans.

She is not a murderer, she is the lone hero of Bali Street against police tyranny - when she becomes mayor, she will admit the Bali Street incident and have the judge declare her innocence through an "open and legal" trial.

Not only innocent, but also a lovely and respectable victim.

Didn't the policeman who kneeled on Floyd just kneel?
He can kneel, why can't GCPD kneel?
Although Harley didn't have black skin, she was underage at the time and was still a woman! ! !
Oh, recently she also set up an environmental protection fund, and in the future, she will definitely operate a "gold-free medal" for the United Nations environmental protection ambassador.

She is not a murderer, she is carrying a Vulcan cannon, and is fighting zombies in Gotham Cathedral.

Countless experts and professors have said so, why don't you believe it?
She didn't belong to the Heibang family, she was still being rewarded by the Crusaders, and she had to form a group of gunmen to protect herself-in the future, each of them would get a "bodyguard qualification certificate", and all the industries under her name would be formalized and legalized.

It is really impossible to make it legal, so either throw it to Coppert, or amend the law to make it legal!

She's the mayor anyway.

It was also illegal to fight grass and sell big things earlier, but after the new crown, many states in the United States have legalized it.

Harry suddenly discovered that being the mayor has too many benefits.

The mayor has so many benefits, if she becomes the president, why shouldn't the Justice League bring her footwashing water?

Harley doesn't mess around, and campaigns in a law-abiding manner.

Galavan currently has the advantage, so he doesn't bother to provoke her, and only cares about hunting the "owl".

The two lived in harmony until May 5. Three days before the vote, Lowry couldn't sit still.

Well, there are too many people who can't sit still, but she is the only one who can call Harley.

"What are you doing? Gotham has been dying one after another recently. In just half a month, more than 200 people died. The sky is about to collapse. You didn't respond at all?"

Laurie yelled so loudly that Harry moved the microphone half a meter away.

After she finished yelling, she said casually: "When will there be no deaths in Gotham? It's only over 200 in half a month, and the law and order in Gotham has improved!"

"Don't pretend to be confused. The White House doesn't care about the life and death of ordinary people, but this time all the dead are political and business celebrities, and they are all bigwigs. Several families even wiped out their families. It's too tragic and too bad."

　If some readers don't understand why there is a plot where Harley chooses the mayor.

　　Let me explain.

　　First of all, the election has always been an important plot in DC comics. Running for the mayor and running for the president have all led to major events.

　　Second, remember the "roast lamb distribution theory"?

　　Lamb ribs, the most fragrant, the first-class people eat.

　　Mutton shank is next, and second-class people eat it.

　　Lamb back meat, again, the third class eats.

　　
　　Beyond the dining table, there are dogs gnawing bones and beggars guarding the garbage dump.

　　Bruce Wayne, born to be king, was first class from the start.

　　Falcone struggled all his life, but he only got a piece of mutton back from the garbage heap, climbed onto the dining table.

　　Harley inherits his inheritance, and if things don't change, she's just a third-class mutton eater.

　　And the mayor can help her complete the transformation from a third-class person to a first-class person.

　　Theo Galavan is right in saying that in "Gotham's Charm", the status of the mayor is indeed very low, but the key depends on who will be the mayor.

　　However, political games have never been the theme of this book. The reason why the mayoral campaign is a bit written is mainly to serve the other two lines.

　　After becoming the mayor, the plot will pass very quickly.
