American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander.

Chapter 106 Why is it always you?
On the other hand, as soon as he left the elevator, Donton couldn't help but burst into laughter in the lobby.

Hearing Donton's laughter, the security personnel who had already surrounded him all shuddered.

Noticing the timidity in the security guard's eyes, Donton smiled and waved his hand.

"Okay, guys, I'm in a good mood now, so I won't joke with you.

I have a feeling that my new friend will always give me a surprise, and I am looking forward to his gift, haha!"

Amidst loud laughter, Donton walked past the security personnel and then came to a group of receptionists surrounded by countless police officers.

Seeing Downton, Gordon let out a long breath.

"Why is it always you?"

As he spoke, Gordon came in front of Downton, but just as he was about to say something, he noticed Downton's injured finger.

"Wait, what are you doing?"

He looked at Downton's severed finger in disbelief, and then couldn't help but look at the Wayne Group's elevator.

Meeting Gordon's gaze, Donton patted Gordon's shoulder unhappily.

"Don't worry, no one in Wayne Tower can hurt me for now, I just left my finger for Bruce and the others to study.

By the way, Gordon, there was such a chaotic battle in Gotham last night, tens of thousands of people died, but I didn't even see you in the most intense part of the fighting.

But no one from the Wayne Group has died today. When I came, I only broke the legs of a dozen people. But you, the deputy sheriff, rushed here the first time!

Am I wrong, or...you are actually a person who disappoints me, Gordon!"

"I……?"

Listening to what Downton said, Gordon took a weak breath.

"I was too distracted by your killing on the rooftop of Wayne Enterprises last night.

After I finish dealing with the mess you left here, Mayor Mitchell will ask me to help with the situation in Gotham!

I definitely want to be on the front lines, whether it's rescuing kids from Evanston High School or trying to stop your gang members from killing people!

But the result is, you already know it, the world does not revolve around me, I have never been qualified to do what I want to do! "

After he finished speaking, Gordon took out his pistol in frustration and pointed the gun at Downton's head.

“I have tried really hard, and I have done everything I can to do what I should do, but I still can’t change anything, and I can’t influence anything!

Even now, I am still being laughed at by you!

There is something I have wanted to say for a long time, ghost, even if they don’t dare to catch you, I must tell you!
You broke so many serious fucking laws, I swear I'm going to send you to jail even if I can't!!!"

After Gordon yelled, he pointed the gun at Downton's head solemnly.

Looking at Gordon, who looked serious but was actually extremely turbulent inside, Donton smiled and nodded.

"Well said, Gordon. I think only a good man like you is qualified to be the most prominent police chief in Gotham City!"

Having said that, Downton grabbed Gordon's hand and made him put the muzzle of the gun against his forehead.

Then he waved to the reporters in the distance.

"Hey, you bunch of damn paparazzi, get over here!"

"Here, here!!!"

Although Downton scolded them rudely, they didn't care as they were focused on the big news.

Immediately, many media rushed to Downton.

Looking at the media that surrounded him and Gordon, Donton patted Gordon's pistol lightly and said.

“You all know how to shoot!”

"This...we can find out!"

The reporters answered to Downton in unison.

Donton nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head, which was pointed at by a gun, towards the camera.

Seeing this, the reporters cooperated and took a lot of close-up photos.

When the reporters had finished taking pictures, Downton forcefully snatched the gun from Gordon's hand, took out the handcuffs from Gordon's arms, and handcuffed them to his own wrists.

While letting the confused Gordon pull the handcuffs, Downton signaled to the reporters to take pictures quickly.

Accompanied by the continuous sound of shutter clicks, Downton let go of Gordon with satisfaction, and then put both hands on Gordon's chest.

At this moment, a reporter was particularly sensible and handed the microphone to Downton.

"Dear Mr. Revenant, what do you think about the death of Mr. Savage, the former chief of police in Gotham City, and the selection of the next chief of the Gotham Police Department?"

"What can I say? Savage is so fat and loose that he'll lose his head if you pull him lightly."

After telling a hell of a joke, Downton continued to talk to the completely silent reporters. "Haha, just a joke, don't record this.

I have known Savage for a long time, and we even have a life-and-death friendship.

Yes, it was a true life-and-death friendship, and no one knew Savage's mind better than me.

And I can guarantee that now that our Gotham has unfortunately lost a good chief like Savage, Deputy Sheriff Gordon is the only one in Gotham who is qualified to take the position of chief.

I believe that all Gotham people will agree with my opinion. If anyone disagrees, please speak up boldly. I will personally come to discuss and debate with him, and make him deeply understand the integrity of Sheriff Gordon!"

After he finished speaking, Donton patted the reporter's shoulder with satisfaction and broke free from the handcuffs.

Gordon swallowed hard, and then spoke as the metal handcuffs were torn apart.

"Why the hell are you doing this!"

"Because I want you to be the director, man, don't you feel my sincerity?"

"But if you do this, who will choose me as sheriff? You are Gotham's biggest trouble!"

"So you still want to be sheriff?"

"Of course I...wait I don't want to...no...I...damn it!!!"

Gordon was so angry that his beard trembled, while Donton put his arm around his shoulders generously.

While hugging Gordon, he waved to the reporters.

"Take a photo of us together, and remember to edit me to look good, but not Gordon.

He is going to be the sheriff, sincerity is his attitude, we have to respect his choice!"

Having said that, Donton raised his hand and pulled the reporter who had just cooperated with him to his front.

As the reporters were getting nervous, Downton continued to speak to them.

"Dude, please give me another interview as soon as possible.

As for my opinion on the candidate for the director of Gotham, I have only one opinion about the candidate for the director, and that is that it must be a good person like Gordon!"

After saying that, Downton pushed the chicken-like reporter aside, then leaned over and yelled into Gordon's ear.

"Don't worry, my friend, I will make sure you become the sheriff as you wish!

Even if someone else accidentally takes away your position as sheriff, I guarantee that he will not survive for more than half an hour!
So, let us congratulate our future Sheriff Gordon in advance!"

Donton clapped his hands first, and the reporters and confused policemen around him had no choice but to follow suit.

Amid the applause, Downton let go of Gordon, who was so desperate that he wished he could die on the spot, and walked through the police line.

In front of countless police officers, he swaggered onto the road and stopped a Lexus that looked like a good model.

He just opened the car door and walked up to the confused driver and said.

"Hey man, I have good news and bad news for you, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Bad...bad news..."

The driver answered tremblingly.

Hearing this, Donton nodded.

"The bad news is you got robbed and the fucking revenant thought you had a nice car!"

"Then...what about the good news? Will the ghost let me go?"

"The good news is that I called the police for you, and the damn police are not far from you!"

Having said that, Donton picked up the driver and threw him towards the police.

Then, Donton got in the car and opened the window. While starting the car, he stretched his left hand out of the window and gave everyone the middle finger.

Looking at Downton running farther and farther away, Gordon swallowed hard.

Behind him, his partner came up to him and saluted him with a wry smile.

"Looks like I'll have to call you Sheriff Gordon from now on!"

"Stop it, man, I'm so fucking overwhelmed!"

Gordon angrily drove his partner away, then walked towards the driver who was getting up and the policeman who was knocked down by the driver.

But as he walked, his partner followed behind him and continued to talk to him.

“Man, times have changed, and the words of the revenant are much more important in Gotham now than the mayor’s.

Even if the mayor wants to harm someone, he at least has to try his best, but the ghost never "wants" to harm someone because he just does it on the spot.

Now that you have the endorsement of the dead, I estimate that you will be able to become the director by tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest, old friend!
When you become the director, you have to help me adjust my position. I don’t want to go out on field trips anymore. Sitting in the office is more suitable for me!”
