Starting from scratch, Batman crushed my dream of getting rich

Chapter 169: Total Destruction! Falcone Gang's Six Thugs

Hearing the system prompt sound, Ma Zhaodi opened the system panel.

Deadly Poison Ivy
Mission introduction: Those who travel around the world should know some ancient teachings: Don't enter the forest, don't cross the water, this is the first one; don't mess with beggars, monks, women and children, this is the second one.

If some unlucky people commit both of these offenses at the same time, then here is a third, relatively new, warning: Sooner or later, you will have to pay for what you have done.

Note: Poison Ivy is not an easy character to talk to. Although she is a vegetarian, she is also very strong and resourceful.

Status: To be completed (0/6)

Reward: Advanced First Aid Mastery]

The mission is to save the lives of six people. It is not difficult to imagine that they are the unlucky ones who "committed both of those crimes at the same time."

Just as the mission said, Poison Ivy is not an easy person to deal with. Even in her own world, the trouble she causes is not small.

Ma Zhaodi looked up at the map of Gotham and marked the location he had sensed. "Botanical Garden, three kilometers away—just a few minutes. I hope this can be resolved peacefully, with words rather than violence."

Ma Zhaodi turned the front of the bike, and the bike flashed through the streets and alleys of Gotham at an incredible speed, speeding towards the botanical garden.

"Alfred, is there any sign of the Joker or the Riddler?"

The sound of the Batmobile roared. Batman, who debuted only a year ago, was busy most of the night yesterday but still failed to catch the Joker. This afternoon, he had to show up early because of the Joker's five bullets and the Riddler's prison break.

Being a vigilante in Gotham usually means a shattered routine and a patchy health for anyone, but especially for Batman.

Ma Zhaodi doesn't count. He is a perverted wheelchair man, so when he is perverted, he is very happy.

"I'm afraid there's no new information on either of them for the time being, Master Bruce," an elderly voice replied. "The Riddler disappeared from the street surveillance after leaving a question mark in the square. I guess he knows the blind spots of the cameras in the surrounding streets. And the Joker—there's absolutely no news of the Joker."

At this moment, Batman was thinking quickly in his mind. When he went to catch the Joker yesterday, he knew that he couldn't laugh. Naturally, he also knew how much value the Riddler's sarcasm had. If he thought along this line of thought, then the Joker and the Riddler would definitely conflict.

The Riddler ran away and didn't leave any riddles, so the Joker is the one looking for him. How is he going to find him?
While he was still thinking, Alfred's voice sounded from the phone again.

"Master, let me remind you again that Mr. Carmine Falcone has ordered all members of the Falcone family to immediately and fully search for Mr. Nygma and to see his body within the hour. Twenty minutes have passed since this order was issued."

"Falcone."

Batman pondered for a moment. The Riddler and Carmine had no connection before today. They probably didn't even know each other. They might have just seen each other on TV.

Why was Carmine going after the Riddler? And why was he so desperate? This question had been on his mind since he heard the warrant for the killing twenty minutes ago.

"It's the Joker." At this moment, he had a guess in his mind. Using the opponent's force against him and using any means necessary was the Joker's usual style. He probably set a time limit on Carmine, so there was an one-hour hunting order.

"Master Bruce, with the Falcone family's manpower in Gotham City, they can probably find Mr. Nygma within an hour. If we're not quick enough, the Riddler will likely be beaten to a pulp by the family members who hate Riddler." "I know, Alfred," Batman replied. "One more thing. Please help me check Carmine Falcone's family situation and where his family members are now. I suspect the Joker has kidnapped his family. If any of his family members have been missing since the time the TV show was broadcast, they may have become leverage for him to blackmail Carmine."

"Okay—oh, Master, it seems the Falcone family has some news. They're very fast, and a team has already gone to the Botanical Gardens. If you want to save Mr. Nygma, you have to hurry."

"Send me the location."

Upon hearing that the group of thugs hunting down the Riddler had gathered and had already set out, Batman immediately put the matter of the Joker aside for the time being. The most important thing now was to save people.

"Master, there is one more thing. Let me remind you."

"what?"

"Remember to bring an axe—according to the surveillance video in the botanical garden, Mr. Nygma seems to be going there to look for Ms. Pamela."

"An axe."

Batman twitched the corner of his mouth. Alfred's suggestion of using an axe to deal with plants seemed reasonable, but when he thought that the other party was Poison Ivy, he felt that this sentence was a cold joke.

He turned the front of the car, and a stream of blue flames spurted out from the tail of the Batmobile, heading towards the direction sent by Ah Fu.

When Ma Zhaodi arrived at the wall of the botanical garden, about a minute and a half had passed. Obviously, if he had not been riding a bicycle, he would have been stopped by the traffic police for speeding at his previous speed.

Seeing the wall, he looked around first. After making sure there were no cameras nearby, he put the bicycle in his hand into the system space without hesitation, then jumped lightly, jumped over the wall, and climbed into the botanical garden.

The moment he landed, all the muscles in his back tensed up, and the force was transferred from the muscles in his arms to his back. Ma Zhaodi landed lightly after rolling on the grass without making much sound.

A hard landing is certainly possible, but the downside is that it makes too much noise and can easily be heard.

He ran as fast as he could according to his sense of the location of the poison ivy plants, dodging the surveillance cameras in the botanical garden. After mastering advanced stealth, this way of moving had almost become his instinct.

After running for more than ten seconds, Ma Zhaodi finally reached his destination.

What appeared before his eyes were thick green thorns spreading out from the forest. They were piled up in layers and had sharp and hideous long thorns.

Six ragged men were hung up by vines, their black suits were torn to shreds, and the guns in their hands fell to the ground. They were tightly wrapped in barbed vines, and the sharp thorns pierced into their bodies, making it impossible for them to break free. If they were torn apart by force, they would suffer pain no less than lingchi, and a layer of flesh would be torn off.

But they didn't plan to struggle. These vines were obviously poisonous, and the toxins inside had made them all lose consciousness - and were losing their lives.

"I knew it was like this"

Ma Zhaodi shook his head. Dealing with Poison Ivy in the botanical garden was like dealing with Aquaman in the sea. This group of people had no desire to survive.
