Nobody can stop me from drawing cards in Gotham!

Chapter 138 I'll Fight You Rich People!

This sudden turn of events left everyone present, except for Jaeger, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Let alone the toy people, even those who teamed up with Jaeger didn't understand what this meant.

What happened?

Why did the guy Langdon called suddenly run over and let the toy man play on his phone halfway through the fight?

"Well, sir, what you said is very interesting." After a long silence, the toy man spoke with some suspicion, "But I must point out that you may be deliberately stalling for time."

"6

"For example—delaying until Superman comes back, even with Wonder Woman present, such delays seem pointless."

"So why don't you give it a try?" Jaeger asked with utmost sincerity. "I'm doing this for your own good, Toyman."

""

Toy Man: "————"

Phantom.

The toy figure, who was watching this scene through the camera on the giant duck, subconsciously thought of this word.

Even so, the other party's words seemed to have a certain magic, causing the toy man to involuntarily take out his phone, which he had kept off notifications in order to seriously solve the bounty, and quickly check the message he had just received.

Thirty seconds later, the toy figure stared wide-eyed silently beneath the puppet head.

A minute later, fearing he might miss out on this windfall, he hurriedly started typing with trembling hands.

Two minutes later, the giant yellow duck, which had been standing quietly in place and silently confronting the group for a long time, finally made a move.

It clicked a few times and put away the overturned gun barrels.

Then, the two flat duck feet were adjusted, and the whole duck stood up properly.

Finally, in front of everyone, the giant yellow duck bowed comically, accompanied by a toy-like voice coming from the microphone: "Sorry, sorry, oh dear, it was all a misunderstanding!"

"Let's consider today's attack a harmless accident, everyone," the Toy Man said sincerely. "Fortunately, Miss Ryan was unharmed; otherwise, no amount of toys could make up for my deepest regret!"

The three people besides Jaeger: "————"

Your toys?

Are you referring to toy airplanes that can fire cannonballs and giant rubber ducks with gun barrels attached?

Putting aside this ridiculous statement, what exactly did the Toy Man see when he connected to the internet?

Why did their attitude suddenly change so drastically?

"Things aren't as complicated as you think, everyone." The toy man seemed to be in a good mood. "Someone gave me some money to try and win the trophy—"

"And now, someone has offered a higher price for me to stop here, that's all."

"I'm not a mercenary, so I don't have that much professional ethics. I only care about money."

"That's basically it."

"More money?" Louise asked thoughtfully. "I knew there were fewer attackers than I expected. So far, there's only been one toy man."

"Could it be because, besides him, the other potential attackers, like the toy man, accepted money from some employer and then collectively ignored the religious group with the bounty trophy?"

"But who would have that much money—" Clark couldn't help but join the discussion, "To convince these people, the employer would have to offer at least more than two million."

"While there aren't many villains in Metropolis who could be bought off for two million dollars—but to buy off each and every one of them, that would require an enormous sum of money."

Wonder Woman pondered for a while, then suddenly looked at Jaeger.

"Actually, you don't need to think about it so much," Wonder Woman said. "Think about it, it was Winchester who reminded the Toy Man of this, so he must know the truth."

"That's right, heroine." Jaeger had just returned at that moment, and lowered his voice upon hearing this, "But actually, you are all very familiar with this employee."

Clark instantly realized who the employee was and exchanged glances with the other three who also realized who the employee was.

They all need to be familiar with someone, able to afford the money, and connected to the incident.

The answer is indeed quite obvious.

Langdon Parrells—and even Jaeger himself had just said that the other party seemed to be busy with something, which was why he was asked to come over.

Could it be that they're busy bribing the villains?

This was a solution that Louise and her team had never considered—after all, who would spend so much money on something like this!

If those religious groups that pay people to work for them knew about this, they'd probably be furious. "Are you just looking for trouble? With so much money, why are you using it for reverse employment?!"

What kind of crazy rich guy came from?!

"But then—" Louise realized a problem, "what if these villains take the money as seed funding and cause even bigger trouble later?"

"There's no need to worry about that," Jaeger said meaningfully.

"————?" Clark asked疑惑地, "Could there be some other hidden story behind this reverse employment?"

"Of course, but it's a secret for now." Jaeger patted Clark on the shoulder, adding, "It's not that I'm deliberately hiding it, but Langdon told me not to say anything for the time being."

Having multiple accounts is great; you can use two accounts to shift blame anytime, anywhere, ensuring your current identity isn't mistreated.

However, Jaeger didn't mean to hide it intentionally; he was just too lazy to explain, which is why he said that.

Anyway, if Clark and his team want to know what happens next, given the Daily Planet's news sensitivity, they'll probably find out tonight what Langdon has been secretly doing behind the scenes.

P.S.: Something came up and I'm late. There will be another update later.
