Chapter 5: There Are Still Many Good People in Gotham

At the door of the shop where Downton was watching, the young salesperson was also startled by Downton's sudden appearance.

Just now, she saw off a generous customer.

When she was still standing at the door of the store, reluctantly watching the customer get into the car, Donton, shirtless, suddenly appeared from behind the customer's car.

"What the hell?!"

The saleswoman instinctively covered her mouth and stared at Donton in disbelief.

When she found that Downton was also looking at her with a sneer, her heart skipped a beat, and then she rushed back to her shop and closed the door tightly.

At the same time, Donton passed the car that started in front of him and came to the front of the store which was guarded by the female salesperson.

Raising his hand and patting the glass door, Donton smiled.

"Come out to receive guests!"

"I don't!... wooooooo!"

The female salesperson burst into tears, saying that it was impossible for her to receive customers. He, he, he... he was not a human being!

How could someone appear out of thin air?

He is a demon, a devil, or...

Suddenly, the saleswoman's already wide eyes widened even wider.

She remembered a nursery rhyme her mother told her when she was a child.

Beware the Court of Owls, watching you wherever you go.

Peep at Gotham City from the dark, hiding in the low walls and attics.

He is with you when you are at home; he is also with you when you are in bed.

Never mention his name, or his sharp claws will find your head.

Although it was just a momentary fantasy, the content of this fantasy still made the saleswoman's legs even softer.

How many kids in Gotham don’t know this nursery rhyme?

Even Bruce Wayne was frightened by this nursery rhyme when he was a child. Owls were the animals Bruce feared the most besides bats when he was a child.

Of course, Donton had no idea what the saleswoman was thinking. He just knocked on the door and looked through the glass at the saleswoman's legs in black stockings.

Don't think too much, he is not an impatient person. Even if he really wants to do something, he is not perverted enough to do something to a woman who smells of urine.

Yes, even though the saleswoman closed her legs, she still peed.

The body's instincts are not something that ordinary people can control.

Seeing this, Donton couldn't help but roll his eyes, then pulled out a pistol from his waist and knocked on the glass door in front of him with the muzzle of the gun.

“Let’s talk about this another way.

Robbery, open the door now or I'll shoot!"

“I, I, I…?”

Somehow, even though Donton had drawn his gun, the saleswoman's fear was alleviated a lot.

Looking at the gun pointing at herself through the glass, the saleswoman even felt a sense of relief.

It turns out that you are not a devil, not a demon, nor the sharp claw of the owl in the nursery rhyme.

You should have told me earlier that you were a robber. If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have been afraid and I would have been used to it!

"Don't shoot, this door is expensive!"

After confirming that Downton was just robbing, the female salesperson pushed the door open obediently.

The saleswoman said as she welcomed Donton in.

"The boss is not here because of something, and my colleague is out shopping with her new boyfriend, so I am the only one in the store.

You... the cash register is at the bar, go there yourself..., don't hurt me, please, woo woo!"

At this point, the saleswoman cried even louder. The wetness on her legs made her even more ashamed. This feeling mixed with fear, how could she stop crying?

Seeing the woman crying like this, Donton pointed the gun in the direction of the bar.

"Go change your clothes, it smells bad, go quickly!"

"I……"

"What do you mean by me? Go!"

Seeing that the saleswoman was still hesitating, Donton hit her head with the butt of his gun. The saleswoman, who was about 1.7 meters tall, was like a chicken in front of Donton, who was 1.86 meters tall.

Frightened by Donton, the saleswoman hurried to the bar, wanting to go to the employee lounge at the back to tidy herself up. When she passed the bar, she couldn't help but pause and went to open the cash register first.

Dang rang~

The sound of the cash register popping out was crisp and pleasant. In addition to several stacks of banknotes of various denominations, a few coins made a criss-crossing sound in the collision.

However, Donton did not touch the money. Clothes were more urgent to him than money. While the saleswoman was changing clothes, he chose a black suit and changed into it in the fitting room.

When Donton came out of the fitting room, the female salesperson was mopping the floor at the door. When she heard Donton's voice, she paused for a moment, then immediately sped up a lot.

While cleaning hurriedly, the saleswoman also took the time to say something to Donton.

"You'd better take the money and leave quickly. Someone outside has called the police. I...I didn't press the alarm, but someone saw you threatening me with a gun."

"Ha, thank you very much. It's a pity that this is not the right occasion, otherwise I would definitely toast you for your cooperation."

After hearing what the saleswoman said, Donton raised his head and glanced at the surveillance camera in the store.

Then, Donton walked over, pulled out his gun, and shut down all three monitors.

The sound of the gunshot made the saleswoman squeeze her legs tightly together, and she felt like peeing again.

Fortunately, Donton's subsequent questions distracted her attention and fear.

"Hey, are these the only three surveillance cameras in your store?"

"Uh... there's another one in our staff lounge. What... what can I do for you?"

"fine."

After getting the answer from the saleswoman, Donton walked to the cash register at the bar.

This clothing store is considered a mid-luxury store, and most of the customers who come here pay by credit card. There is no large amount of cash in the radio, only small bills prepared for change.

Donton hastily grabbed a handful of banknotes, walked up to the saleswoman, and casually stuffed the banknotes into her chest.

The saleswoman had a pretty good figure, and her breasts were big enough to hold all those banknotes, which was worthy of Downton's kindness.

"The store has been robbed anyway, who cares who has the money? If anyone asks, just blame it on me."

After leaving a word, Donton picked up the gun again and shot randomly in the store.

After emptying the magazine, he reloaded the bullet while pushing open the store door despite the complicated look from the female salesperson.

When Downton walked onto the street, people who were watching nearby after hearing the gunshots scattered like birds and beasts.

Only two sturdy middle-aged men took out their pistols and wanted to confront Donton.

Looking at the two of them, looking nervous as if they were facing a great enemy and would empty their magazines at any time, Donton laughed with interest.

"Dude, there's no need for that, I didn't even hurt anyone.

I just borrowed less than a thousand yuan and a set of clothes."

In front of the two men, Donton raised the gun to the sky as a gesture of goodwill.

At the same time, the two people who were confronting him also went to the clothing store to check.

Although the saleswoman was standing there stupidly, her personal safety was obviously not a problem and her clothes were also very neat.

So they looked at each other and then put their guns away.

The slightly balding middle-aged man put away his gun and rushed into the store to ask about the female salesperson's well-being.

Unlike the middle-aged people, the remaining young people said something to Donton.

"The police around here are usually 'patrolling' the bars two blocks south, so you'd better go north."

If you steal another car, they may not be able to stop you in time.

Everyone has a bad day, so good luck to you, man.”

"Ha, interesting, thank you very much!"

Listening to the young people's blessings, Downton smiled. There are still many good people in Gotham.

After listening to the advice to eat a full meal, he glanced in the direction the young man pointed, then walked to a car parked on the side of the road, intending to smash the car window with the butt of his gun.

Not far away, the young man who had just persuaded Downton was stunned for a moment, then rushed towards Downton.

"Don't you dare move, that's my car!!!"

"Fuck, why didn't you say so earlier!"

Donton angrily withdrew his hand that was about to hit him.

"We almost hurt our friendly forces!"
