I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

The old woman's words were cut short as a long, strong hand gripped her neck tightly.

William looked at the owner of the hand, who was none other than William Cobb, who had just turned his back and was wearing the unusually heavy Claw armor.

But now, William Cobb's Claw Armor is melting away as quickly as snowflakes, revealing its true form underneath.

A black nanotech suit, and the person inside was, without a doubt, Depp, who had been monitoring William all afternoon.

After the Gotham Daily employees left, Depp immediately used the illusion function on his armor to disguise himself as Claws, which were exactly the same as William Cobb's.

Using this as a way to get close to William, and then being carried here step by step by this idiot.

Damn it, what kind of monster did I bring back?

William's brain short-circuited; no wonder he felt unusually heavy when William Cobb returned.

Damn, this is a suit of steel armor, its weight is naturally very different from that of a battle suit!

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I don't think you'd mind having a new friend at your tea party, would you?"

Depp gripped the old woman's neck tightly, preventing her from uttering a single word.

Because Depp knew that the old woman was the leader of these people, he didn't want her to issue any more orders.

Depp had already put on his briefing. He looked at the old woman wearing a mask beneath him, and the information immediately appeared before his eyes.

[Katherine Bowles] Owl Court Judge

Main ability: Methods for creating claws.

Favorability rating: Never give up.

Sure enough, the leaders of the Court of Owls are from the Bowles family!

But her name and age were different from what I remembered.

This old woman named Catherine looks to be in her seventies or eighties.

Depp estimates that Katherine was Joseph Powers' mother, the leader of the modern-day Owl Court.

Depp pondered as he waited for a response from those present.

However, after Depp finished speaking, no one in the room responded to him.

Their eyes, hidden behind their white masks, were fixed intently on the old woman, Catherine.

It seemed as if they were waiting for her command.

At the same time, Katherine responded to Depp's words with a cold smile.

The next moment, all the members of the Court of Owls, except for Catherine, collapsed one after another, coughing up blood.

The man closest to Catherine even shot the male servant who was kneeling on the ground before he died, as well as William who was standing dumbfounded in the distance.

Clearly, upon realizing they had been exposed, they immediately bit off the deadly poison hidden under their tongues.

They were willing to sacrifice themselves to protect their family from being discovered.

Of course, they have to do it!

If they choose to live a life of ignominy, then what awaits them and their families is the merciless torture and slaughter by the other members of the Court of Owls.

Seeing this, Depp gradually loosened his grip on Catherine's neck.

Depp removed the masks from the courtroom members one by one, only to find that their faces had been almost entirely corroded and melted away as the poison spread.

And their bodies were dissolving rapidly.

The effects of this deadly poison are clearly not limited to killing.

Instead, they would melt and completely destroy the poisoned person's body to prevent the court members' information from being identified through their faces and DNA.

Depp was somewhat taken aback by what he saw.

It seems that the members of the Court of Owls are ruthless not only to their enemies, but also to themselves!

The ruthlessness and cruelty of these guys were something he couldn't quite accept.

Seeing Depp's stunned expression, Katherine said with a hoarse laugh, "The Court of Owls won't be manipulated by anyone! Want to know who we really are? In your next life!"

As she spoke, Catherine wanted to bite the poison hidden under her tongue, just like the members who had already melted.

But then, Depp, looking at Katherine's smug and sour face, actually burst out laughing.

"Haha, you old lady, you're really naive!"

"You stubborn brat, you're destined to fail!"

"Are you sure, Mrs. Catherine Bowles?"

Catherine...Mrs. Bowles?!

Upon hearing Depp's words, Katherine froze on the spot.

He couldn't understand how that kid could discover his true identity without even taking off his mask.

However, Depp didn't offer Katherine any explanation. He walked behind the first person to Katherine's right and said:

“Nigati Clos, the lobby manager of the Sunset Hotel, seems to have chosen to serve you, this withered old lady, with his body for money and power.”

Then, Depp walked behind the next person:

"Frank Finch, the new head of the Finch family, whose family seems to control a considerable number of large transport ships in Gotham."

"Kirk Rana, the future heir of the Rana family, seems to be here just for fun and knows nothing about family affairs."

"Naomi Beatty, owner of the Beatty family, a well-known women's clothing design company in Gotham City, this middle-aged woman seems to be... having an affair with the Lana kid."

"Klara de la Torre..."

"Geova Braun..."

Depp casually revealed the identities of these owl court members, who were no longer human, one by one.

The information he provided was even more comprehensive than what Catherine knew.

As Depp walked past these people one by one, Catherine's breathing gradually became rapid.

The expression on her face changed from initial smugness to utter shock.

Ultimately, it settled on the level of utter terror.

Yes, Catherine was scared.

She couldn't figure out who the guy in front of her was.

How does he know everyone's information?

The secrets that the Court of Owls had kept hidden for centuries seemed completely transparent to this man.

This was something Catherine found even harder to accept than encountering the devil in hell!

"This is impossible!"

Catherine screamed, almost frantically, "You couldn't possibly know these people's names and information! It's impossible!"

Depp walked behind Katherine, gently placed his hand on her white hair, and soothed her softly, "Don't get agitated, madam. It won't do you any good for your health. And nothing is impossible. After all, the Court of Owls has existed in the shadows of Gotham for centuries, so what is impossible in this world?"

"No...no...this can't be real, I must be dreaming..."

Catherine's long-held beliefs collapsed in an instant.

She used to believe that she was the true god of Gotham!

The Court of Owls is also the eternal master of Gotham.

As long as the courts exist, Gotham will forever remain the private property of these powerful families, with Gotham at its head.

But now, Depp's appearance has shattered Katherine's long-held pride without a trace.

She now even wondered if the man before her was a messenger sent by God to punish them.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Bowles, I won't disclose the information about the members of the Court of Owls."

Depp gently stroked the old man's silver hair and whispered in his ear.

Depp's words and reassurances seemed to have a real effect at this moment, and Katherine looked at Depp with pleading eyes.

"Really? You...you really won't make our information public?"

“Of course, I will never let the public know about the Court of Owls,” Depp said firmly.

Then, Depp's hand, which had been gently stroking Katherine's hair, suddenly tightened.

Click!

Katherine's neck snapped, and Depp leaned close to the side of her head, which was now drooping limply.

He whispered in her ear, "I will kill all these bastards from these families, one by one, without a sound."

Having done all this, Depp turned around disdainfully, looked at the utterly dead members of the Court of Owls behind him, and said:

"No one has the right to be the master of a city, no one can control someone else's life forever, you will be punished... the Court of Owls."

Chapter 183 The Mad Dick Grayson

Inside Wayne Manor, the lights were dim, with only a faint, candle-like glow flickering in a few rooms.

Bruce, dressed in a loose-fitting dark blue pajama set, lay on the sofa, looking at the freshly published Gotham Evening Post, and sighed deeply.

"Depp was right. These bastards really do need to use me as a pretext to impeach the Gotham Police Department and James."

Alfred walked over, holding a cup of pastries that smelled of tea, and said, "You should eat something first, Master Wayne. You can't just come here sighing like that."

"But now, it seems I've dragged Gordon down with me too."

"But that's not your fault."

"I need to find the Court of Owls' hideout as soon as possible, and then... wipe them out!"
