Godslayer in the Marvel Universe

Chapter 11 Money to Buy a Life

Rivalry is common among those in the same trade. Gotham's citizens are generally honest and straightforward, but the number of gangsters is countless, with over a dozen well-known and powerful criminal families. No one has ever maintained long-term control over Gotham's underworld.

As a traditional local family, there are many forces that want to destroy Siennis.

With fewer families sharing the cake, each family naturally gets a bigger slice. There's not much to say about that.

The key is Ang, whose very name stirred a ripple in Batman's usually calm heart.

The impartial and selfless Bateman coldly ordered, "Alfred, create a file on Ang."

"Files? No problem. I have his DNA test report, all the bills from when he was seven to this month, information on every security guard around him, and all the information on the female lead singer of the Black Mask Club he just hooked up with. What other information do you need, sir?" the old butler said seriously.

Batman, expressionless: "Classified as E-Class!"

"Yes, sir."

……

The man had no idea that his very first act had landed him on Batman's blacklist. All he knew was that Wonder Woman must know.

Indeed, at the very moment he killed Black Mask, Wonder Woman, who was resting and dozing in her room, smiled charmingly.

If there were outsiders here, it would seem that she was dreaming of something happy.

……

In the early morning, all things are still.

The bright red sun slowly rose above the sea level.

Ang drove a jet ski, a common sight on the beach, quietly to a small pier on the edge of the island.

This private island isn't very large, and a mere hundred-person security team couldn't guarantee full surveillance coverage. Besides, could the island's surveillance system possibly escape the notice of its owner, Ang?

Not long after, in a room in the manor, Ang saw the 'pupa' on the bed again.

"Damn it! Aren't you coming back? You should at least tell me if you're dead or not!" Miss Black Canary had dark circles under her eyes, and there were obvious tear tracks at the corners of her eyes. Unfortunately, because she hadn't taken off her straitjacket, she couldn't wipe them away even if she wanted to, so she ended up looking like a ridiculous cat with a painted face.

Finally, the door to the secret room she had been waiting for slowly opened, but the man who came out of it made her heart stop on the spot.

"No! Lord Siennis, I..." To be honest, she was really just a tiny bit too scared to even wet herself at that moment.

Black Mask is a notorious master of torture. His most representative skill is probably inflicting both physical and psychological torture as a means for him to obtain information or punish his victims.

If they fall into his hands, even a clean death is a luxury.

Seeing the black canary nearly having a heart attack from fright, this person, who prides themselves on being professionally trained and generally doesn't laugh unless they can't help it...

Ok!

He couldn't help it.

"Pfft!"

That one laugh diminishes countless merits.

That smile finally put Black Canary's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, at ease.

She noticed that a corner was missing from the left side of the once perfectly intact, terrifying black mask. Roman would never take his anger out on this mask with hypnotic abilities, no matter what he did.

The mask was his most precious possession. Legend has it that he murdered his parents because they destroyed his beloved mask.

However, now that the black mask, his most iconic symbol, has fallen into Ang's hands, then...

Gazing at that handsome, wicked face, Miss Diana Lance was unconsciously captivated, her beautiful voice carrying a clear sense of dazedness: "Black Mask, he..."

"Unfortunately, he was killed by the Joker. As an honest and law-abiding citizen, I just happened to pick up this thing." Ang casually put the mask on the table, as if throwing away an unwanted toy.

The more casually Ang described it, the more frightened the black canary became after its brief moment of euphoria.

What a joke, Gotham!

How many years has the long-established Sean Nexus family been entrenched in Gotham?

How many years has Black Mask Roman been a powerful figure in the underworld?

This is the kind of man who can slum kids cry on the spot just from hearing his name.

I just agreed to her request a few hours ago? And she killed Black Mask just like that?

The image of this sunny, wealthy young man instantly rose to an unimaginable height in her mind... becoming something akin to a demon king from hell.

"Yes, yes, yes." Black Canary forced a somewhat professional smile to appease him.

"And then there's your future..." As Ang said this, Black Canary's heart jumped again: "I have some bad news for you. The Black Mask Club was bombed by the Joker Gang. So, unfortunately, you're out of a job."

The blonde, wavy-haired beauty stared wide-eyed, thinking to herself: So ruthless.

"This is truly unfortunate news."

"I have a secretary position available here. Why don't you come and give it a try?"

Can I say no?

While inwardly complaining, she maintained a somewhat stiff smile: "This couldn't be better. I was also worried that the people from the [Masked Empire] might suddenly turn against me and my family."

Ang nodded, his hands resting on the leather buckles on Diana's chest. *cough*, she's still wearing a straitjacket; if he doesn't untie her, she'll be a mummy.

But Ang could clearly feel that her body was trembling slightly.

After opening it like a package, Ang blushed and said, "Ahem, couldn't those guys just remove these ropes?"

The black canary was extremely embarrassed: You personally tied me up into a turtle shell shape, do you think they would dare to take it apart?

The words that came from her red lips were: "Thank you for your trouble, sir."

It took a full ten minutes of the complicated disassembly to complete. Once finished, the black canary rushed to the toilet like a bird in flight.

Twenty minutes later, she finally shuffled back to Ang, still wearing a thick bathrobe. She couldn't help it; she'd come in her battle armor last night, and even an extra square centimeter of fabric would be disrespectful to espionage. Now, even with the bathrobe, she still felt she couldn't possibly resist Ang.

Unfortunately, just as I came out, the first rays of morning sunlight streamed into the room.

What came into her view was a handsome young man drinking coffee and the morning news being broadcast.

"Last night, the Black Mask Club was attacked by the Joker's gang. The intense explosions and gunfight resulted in dozens of deaths, including former prominent businessman Roman Sinnis. He died from a blow to the head and a stab wound to the neck..."

Demonstration! This terrifying man must be showing off his terrifying power to me.

Hearing the noise behind him, Ang turned around and saw the black canary, whose face was almost bloodless. He immediately knew that whatever he said would easily frighten her.

"Don't be afraid, I'm very generous. You should have seen my file. I'm happy to reward my own people and those who respect me. Of course, enemies are an exception."

Recalling the information about Ang that she had read before the operation, Dina was unsure whether this young man was also involved in some horrific scheme; at least on the surface, he had a much better reputation than Black Mask.

She tentatively asked, "If possible, could you send two bodyguards with me to go back and pack some things? I might need to explain things to my family, and I won't be starting my new job for another day or two."

"OK. If you're worried about Miss Sarah Lance's safety, you can bring her over here as well." With that, Ang casually opened a box containing five neatly stacked stacks of [Franklin]. "Consider this your reward for the information you gave me about Black Mask. You can also use it to buy some new clothes."

Upon seeing the $50,000 settlement fee, or rather, the money to buy her life, Black Canary's expression visibly improved. This indicated that Ang wouldn't abandon her after using her. Let alone this amount, even a single stack of dollars would be enough to drive any girl in the slums aspiring to rise above her circumstances crazy.

Human lives in Gotham City's slums are so cheap.

"Thank you for your generosity, boss! Well then, I'll be going now?"

"Okay." Ang opened the communicator and relayed Louis's message about her.

Watching the black canary's swaying figure as it departed, it would be a lie to say that Ang wasn't moved, but he hadn't forgotten that Wonder Woman was by his side.

Black Canary is, after all, a named female hero in the DC universe. If you really force her, she probably won't refuse. But if her "good/evil value" drops and she upsets Wonder Woman, that would be a real loss.
