American comics: The Savior Who Started with Vampires

Chapter 97 War Knight

"Lin! Bruce Wayne contacted me..."

Danmu pulled Lin Jue into a dense forest outside the campus, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings as he spoke quickly, his expression somewhat worried.

"I've noticed something's not quite right with you!"

Lin Jue rolled his eyes and said with a hint of complaint.

Now that he has learned everything that happened during his absence, he has helplessly realized that one of his identities seems to be about to be exposed.

He hadn't quite understood why Bruce Wayne would help him and Emily after only meeting them once, but now that he knew the whole story, he could only sigh helplessly.

Good fortune and misfortune are intertwined...

It was all because of Dam's fear that something might happen to him.

Concern can cloud judgment. When Dam and Emily couldn't find Lin Jue at first and received no news, he finally couldn't help but report him missing to the police. However, knowing the police well, he didn't have much hope and, still feeling uneasy, went to find the richest man in Gotham!

No, or rather, young man!

Bruce Wayne

This can't be blamed on Dam. It's just that the richest and most powerful person Dam knows right now is Bruce Wayne. There's nothing he can do about it, so it's understandable that he went to find this person.

This is precisely why Lin Jue suspects he might be exposed.

Damn didn't know, but Lin Jue knew that Bruce Wayne was Batman, the guy with superb intelligence, superb skills, high-tech equipment, and unparalleled wealth!

It's worth noting that even Superman was taken down by a well-prepared Batman.

Lin Jue was not at all surprised that Bruce Wayne was able to deduce from the information or requests made by Dam that he was a member of the Trial Council.

Of course, Bruce Wayne might not be entirely sure, even though his disappearance timeline coincides with the disappearance of the Inquisition Council... as long as Bruce Wayne doesn't associate the renowned Inquisition Council with an unknown young man like himself...

In addition, the people around Hualier Street knew about Lin Jue's previous acts of chivalry, which could more or less lead him to some misleading judgments...

Everything depends on what Bruce actually says...

Looking at Danmu, Lin Jue did not voice his thoughts.

"What did Bruce say?"

"He asked me if I knew anything about the Trial Council and if there were any ways to join it?"

"..."

Dan looked at the silent Lin Jue with some curiosity. Lin Jue's expression was particularly strange at this moment, and there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"Well……"

Just as Danmu was about to say something, Lin Jue turned around and looked at the dense forest behind him.

"Perhaps it would be better if you asked me in person, Mr. Bruce?"

"What? Bruce's here?"

Dam was also very quick-witted, and he soon understood what this meant. He looked behind Lin Jue with some fear.

Accompanied by the rustling of leaves, a handsome young man in a suit slowly emerged from the dense forest.

He wore a solemn yet elegant smile, his gaze fixed intently on Lin Jue, who remained expressionless.

"Lin! Are you a member of the Trial Council?"

Although it was a question, Bruce stated it as a statement.

At this moment, Dam's face turned bright red. He knew perfectly well that he had done something wrong and shouldn't have rushed to Lin Jue to discuss it. At the same time, he was also somewhat amazed by Bruce Wayne's wisdom.

clap clap clap!

With a slow clap of his hands, Lin Jue smiled and greeted the approaching young man, extending his hand first to shake hands with the renowned Bruce Wayne.

"May I ask why the renowned head of Wayne Enterprises is so interested in our Trial Council?"

Lin Jue asked directly, without trying to hide his identity as a member of the Trial Council.

Bruce, however, remained unmoved: "I hope to cooperate with the speakers of the Trial Council!"

"Oh?"

Lin Jue showed a hint of interest.

Bruce nodded to Dam.

"Sorry for taking advantage of you, Dam! Actually, I wasn't 100% sure at first..."

"Ah, this..."

Dam shrank back and glanced at Lin Jue with some guilt.

"Could we first ask Lin what your current position is in the Trial Council?"

"One member!"

Lin Heng said without hesitation.

Without a hint of disappointment in his eyes, Bruce continued, "Could I convey my words to the Speaker of the Trial Council?"

Lin Jue's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded, smiling as he said, "I can only give this to Lord War Knight!"

"War Knight?"

As expected!! Besides the Blood God, there really are other chairmen!

Bruce Wayne suppressed his pounding heart, realizing that he might have uncovered some unexpected secret, and the Tribunal's importance to him rose two levels.

The reason why we didn't guess that the first judge to appear was also the chairman of the Trial Council is because the judge never said a word from beginning to end, and did not reveal his name like the Blood God.

"And who is Your Excellency, War Knight?"

"He hasn't even arrived in Gotham yet!"

As expected, he's a new guy...

"What I hope for in cooperation is that the Trial Council can stop being confined to Gotham's East Side. We can cooperate. I will provide you with all kinds of advanced weapons and the latest sources of information. You must guarantee to punish evil and change the color of Gotham's sky."

Bruce Wayne said solemnly in a deep voice.

"I will report this to my superiors!"

At this moment, Damn, who was standing behind the two, finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Bruce, how did you come to suspect me?"

He wanted to understand exactly where he went wrong.

"Is Catwoman also a member of the Judgment Council?"

Instead of directly answering Dame's question, Bruce asked softly.

"I don't know either! At least, I'm currently the only one under Lord War Knight's command!"

"Then I must have stumbled upon this by accident!"

Bruce chuckled softly, looking at Dam and saying, "Actually, I really just wanted to help you, so I specifically investigated Lin's identity. But I found out that he seemed to have suddenly appeared in Gotham's East District, which made me think of that mysterious force that suddenly appeared in the East District! In addition, Catwoman claimed that she was a member of the Inquisition Council, which made me think after investigating Lin's background."

After all, punishing evil was something Lin seemed to have done before. In the entire East District, which is so small, apart from the mysterious Tribunal, only the two of you have ever shown your faces…”

"……ah!"

At this moment, Damn realized what had happened and couldn't help but slap his head. Although it might not have been entirely his fault, he was indeed a trigger!
