I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

All I could hear was a faint, almost imperceptible "noise".

"What's going on? Were hallucinogenic drugs used without my knowledge?"

As Claw pondered this, he suddenly felt his left arm become lighter.

He turned his head and saw that the hand that had been holding Dick had somehow exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

At the same time, Dick was also taken into the arms of the man who had been standing by the bed and placed back on the bed.

Depp said to Dick, "Don't worry, Dad will have a good chat with your great-grandfather."

Great-grandfather?

Dick was somewhat confused.

The strange man just now claimed to be his family member, and now Johnny Depp is saying that man is his great-grandfather!

But my great-grandfather lived almost a hundred years ago, how could he possibly be alive now?

Forget it, forget it!

With Johnny Depp around, there shouldn't be any problems!

Depp's words also sent shivers down the spines of William Cobb, a figure known as the Claw.

Ignoring his shattered left hand, he raised his katana, pointed it at Depp, and asked, "Why do you know all this?"

Depp looked up, staring at William Cobb with eagle-like eyes, and said:

"I know a lot more, for example..."

You guys are really weak!

As soon as Depp finished speaking, William Cobb found himself transported from inside the house to the lawn outside Wayne Manor Castle.

He looked at Depp with a terrified expression, but Depp had his neck in his hand, making it impossible for him to speak.

At this moment, William Cobb's heart was in turmoil, and he could not calm down at all.

When exactly did the man in front of her pull her out?

I didn't even have time to react!

Just look at how badly he smashed his own left hand! What level of speed and power has this guy reached?!

William Cobb, who originally became Claw, believed that this was the limit of humanity, which is why he was so determined to make Dick become Claw as well.

In this way, he could become immortal, just like himself, and possess power beyond that of mortals!

But now, the strength that Depp has shown has shattered William Cobb's long-held beliefs!

Depp gripped William Cobb's neck tightly and said, word by word, "As the great-grandfather of the Grayson family, do you really want your descendants to become puppets of the Court of Owls?"

William Cobb's face turned bright red, and he was speechless.

But the next second, he stabbed the three claws on his right wrist into Depp's stomach!

Chapter 177 Claws? I wouldn't even be a dog!

The sharp steel claws easily tore apart Depp's newly bought suit.

William Cobb narrowed his eyes upon seeing this, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Although this guy's speed and strength are outrageous, he doesn't seem to have much practical combat experience.

If you don't believe me, look. Although he had my throat firmly in his grasp, he was completely unprepared for my sudden attack on his soft belly.

Just now, William Cobb said, he was about to hear the wonderful sound of a sharp blade piercing through the intestines.

The next second, the sound came.

Ding ding dong, qua la la!

Look, what a beautiful sound this is... um?

This sound is wrong!

William Cobb touched his right hand with his other wrist, whose incision had already scabbed over.

How the hell did my claws break?

No way, could there really be someone with claws harder than those made of special metal by the Owl Court?

Depp glanced at his stabbed suit and said, "That's it? Remember to transfer the money to me later to pay for my clothes!"

At this point, William Cobb had completely broken down.

The man in front of him, named Depp, had far exceeded his comprehension in terms of speed, strength, and defense.

In that instant, he even lost the pride and sense of honor he once had as a claw.

Compared to the man's power, the strength she had gained by selling her freedom seemed utterly insignificant.

Depp continued to berate William Cobb, whose head was as sluggish as a water radish.

"Do you still want to catch Dick and become a claw for the Court of Owls? Huh? Speak up!"

"Are you wrong or not!"

Faced with Depp's questioning, William Cobb really wanted to say, "I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! What kind of claws do you have? I wouldn't even be a dog!"

Unfortunately, Depp's pinch was a bit too harsh.

This made his face turn round and red, just like a freshly washed radish.

He couldn't utter a single word.

William Cobb is about to have a breakdown. Are you doing this on purpose?

You definitely did this on purpose!

Why don't you just strangle me!

Seeing the amused smile on Depp's lips, William was completely certain that this guy was indeed deliberately toying with him.

Thinking of his current state of being at the mercy of others, William was overcome with sorrow.

I, William Cobb, am a top-tier elite in the Claws, one of the best in the Claws.

Now he's like a stray dog, being choked and powerless to resist.

Who would believe that if I told them!

How embarrassing!

No, wait, what about losing the owl?

Depp nodded in satisfaction when he saw William Cobb's utterly dejected expression.

Then, the hand that had been gripping William Cobb's neck like an iron clamp suddenly loosened.

William Cobb immediately slid down like a rag doll and knelt on the ground.

Then, William Cobb covered his neck and began to cough incessantly.

Half a minute later, William Cobb looked up, his expression extremely resentful!

Seeing this, Depp didn't tolerate his behavior and simply slapped him in the face.

That bastard actually tried to kidnap Dick and make him a claw for the Court of Owls! It's absolutely despicable!

"I'm asking you a question, are you right or wrong!"

Depp's condescending attitude caused William Cobb's expression to shift between anger and uncertainty.

However, when he thought about the moment his left hand suddenly exploded into a bloody mist, he fell silent.

What if the opponent attacks your body instead of your arm?

The answer is obvious: he too will be smashed into an even larger cloud of blood mist.

He didn't believe he could revive after being reduced to a bloody mist.

Therefore, William Cobb immediately declared that those who know when to yield are the wise ones.

Men, when they're wrong, they're wrong.

If you make a mistake, you have to admit it!

"I was wrong, I will never again have the thought of using Dick as a claw!"

"Sincere?"

Hearing Depp's doubtful voice, William continued:

"Hmm! I thought that becoming a Claw would lead me to the pinnacle of humanity, transcending the mundane world, but I didn't expect to still be a weakling."

"In that case, why should I let Dick become like me, subject to others?"

Upon hearing this, Depp expressed his heartfelt praise for William Cobb's transformation.

Then he gently patted the other person's head and said, "Indeed, you're a smart person."

Inside the Batcave, Bruce retrieved CCTV footage from the homes of all Justice League members, as well as from some government officials and the homes of Gotham's wealthiest individuals.

All members of the Justice League, as well as many prominent figures in Gotham, were attacked by the claws.

Bruce immediately sent a message to Depp: "Everyone in the Justice League is being attacked. In addition, many political and business figures, as well as famous scientists, have also been attacked by Claws!"

After receiving the message, Depp said into his headset, "Okay, Bruce, send me their locations at the same time, and I'll handle it as soon as possible."

Bruce then sent the locations of all the victims to Depp.

At Gordon's home, Barbara is holding her sleeping daughter.

Harvey Dent is having an unspeakable affair with his wife.

At the Depp Botanical Institute, Wellen Jones, nestled in Ivy's arms, was enjoying a strawberry daifuku.

In the Depp Cryogenics and Life Research Institute, Victor sits in his office, gazing lovingly at his wife's ice sculpture.

Lying exhausted in his room at the Iceberg Club, Oswald...

And many influential political and business figures in Gotham who do not submit to manipulation.
