Ultimately, he discovered that the amber gold coins in the mouths of all the Claw Warriors had been taken away.

Standing next to the empty coffin that was originally prepared for Bruce at the very back, young Bourston felt a chill run down his spine.

The methods for creating and maintaining the Claw Warriors' abilities should only be known to members of their own family!

This is a secret known only to the highest leaders of the Court of Owls; ordinary people could never know that the Claw Warriors' life-sustaining substance is the amber gold coin stuck in their molars.

But now, it seems that the family that has been instigating infighting among the major families even knows this.

Who exactly is that guy?

Just then, little Bowers suddenly felt something cold pressing against his neck.

He immediately realized that it was an extremely sharp knife.

Just like the blades used by the Claw Warriors.

then...

"Shh!"

After a barely perceptible sound of a knife being swung, little Bowers' eyes widened, and a thin line of blood quietly appeared on his neck.

Then, his head dipped slightly, and he rolled forward and fell.

The knife severed little Bowers' neck without any resistance, the blade as smooth as a mirror.

Little Bowers' head tumbled through the air and into the empty coffin.

In that split second of spinning, young Bowers finally saw who the guy was who wanted to start a war between the major families.

"Leonardo Depp...it was you, you nouveau riche with no family history..."

Thump, thump, thump...

Little Bowers' head, with an expression of resentment, fell into the empty coffin originally prepared for Bruce.

Even at the moment his life ended, little Bowers' eyes remained wide open; he died with his eyes wide open in disbelief!

As the light in little Bowers' eyes completely vanished, his body seemed to only then realize that his head had been chopped off.

Blood gushed out from the cut on his neck, instantly filling the once white and tranquil secret room with crimson.

Depp threw the katana he had taken from the Claw Warrior into the coffin, then took out a black umbrella from his system space.

Gushing blood fell from the ceiling, dripping down the black tarpaulin of the umbrella.

Bowles' life had ended at this moment, but Depp's killing plan had only just begun.

As the blood was completely spurted out, little Bowers' body went limp.

Depp gently blew a breath, causing his body to fall into the coffin as well.

He took out his replica of the claw information tag from his pocket and placed it on the coffin lid.

After doing all this, Depp left the secret room step by step.

This time, instead of using super speed, he relied on his master-level stealth and X-ray vision abilities to evade all the Court of Owls members and gradually walk out of their lair.

Then, Depp's eyes rolled back slightly, and a sudden gust of wind swept away all his bloody footprints.

Half an hour later, the members of the Court of Owls, who were still discussing matters concerning leadership, finally realized that little Bowers was missing.

This made them extremely anxious, since the Powers family was currently the only one who knew how to make and use Claw Warriors, which was why the Powers family had been able to maintain their position at the top of the Court of Owls for the past hundred years.

If Little Powers is determined to take everyone down with him and activates all the Claw Warriors to slaughter them, they won't be able to withstand it!

These people were well aware of the power of the Claw Warriors, and they were unwilling to face those who were simply unkillable.

Then they began the search, or rather, the operation to capture little Bowers.

When the first person arrived at the secret chamber where the Claw Warriors slept, he was utterly astonished.

The once white, secret room was now completely covered in scarlet blood.

The spurting blood stained several walls and floors bright red.

He screamed and called everyone over, and they finally discovered that little Bowers was dead in the coffin.

Furthermore, his head was severed from his body, and his death was gruesome.

On the coffin lid, there was a photo and information of the original Claw Warrior inside.

Inside the coffin was a katana used by the Claw Warrior.

Everyone now understood that after activating the Claw Warrior, Little Bowers was killed by the Claw Warrior with a single blow.

These people looked at each other, their eyes filled with wariness.

“Now that even little Bowers is dead,” the Cross family heir said, “I suppose no one knows how to make these inhuman claws anymore.”

The Finch family member said, "I don't think so. Perhaps someone in the Bowles family knows these secrets. I think we need to act quickly."

The words of the Finch family heir resonated with many.

After all, even the Court of Owls couldn't bear to abandon such an extraordinary biological weapon as the Claw Warrior.

If we could pry the remaining members of the Powers family out of them the methods for creating and controlling the Claw Warriors, that would be absolutely ideal.

While the members of the major families were on guard against each other, they also discussed when to launch an attack on the Bowles family.

On the streets of Gotham City, a light rain was falling, making people oblivious to the dark clouds overhead and the pedestrians around them who were also holding umbrellas.

At the end of the street, a man wearing a white shirt and a black suit walked slowly, holding a black umbrella.

Because of the rain, everyone was in a hurry.

No one noticed that the rainwater sliding off the black umbrella was flowing with streaks of crimson, like fresh blood.

Back in the Batcave, Depp saw Bruce enjoying a hearty meal.

Standing beside him were all the people who had been worried about him all this time.

Alfred, Dick Grayson, James Gordon, Harvey Dent, Oswald. Selena Gomez, along with Wayne and Ivy.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they watched Bruce stuffing steak into his mouth with his left hand and a hamburger in his right.

After a while, Bruce rubbed his stomach and slumped back in his chair with a satisfied look on his face.

Seeing his current state, everyone wanted to ask him something, but no one dared to speak up.

Fortunately, Depp returned, and everyone gave him knowing looks, hoping that Depp would ask Bruce what he had been through during this time.

But Depp waved his hand and said, "Everyone, go home. You're all in no better shape than Bruce right now. Go home and get some rest. We'll talk about other things tomorrow."

"But..."

Gordon was about to say something when Depp interrupted him, saying, "By the way, James, when you go back later, you can take that Bat-Lamp from Harvey's rooftop back to the Gotham Police Department rooftop."

Upon hearing this, Harvey explained, "It's better if I keep that thing, since the current public opinion situation is not very optimistic."

Depp waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll turn all this around tomorrow. You don't need to worry about any of this."

Tomorrow will be the day Depp truly reaps the rewards.

He sincerely hoped that the families of those members of the Court of Owls would fight more fiercely.

It saves us the trouble of stirring things up ourselves.

Upon hearing this, Wellen immediately said, "Really? That's wonderful! Sales of Batman comics and merchandise have almost halved recently!"

Even now, the first thing on Wellen's mind is still to help Depp earn more money.

I have to say, this kid, Wellen, has a bright future ahead of him!

At Depp's urging, everyone left the Batcave one by one, with Selena finally leading Dick back to Depp's antique shop.

Everyone else had left, leaving only Depp and Alfred in the Batcave.

Bruce finally removed his mask and said, "Tell me, how exactly did you find out about me?"

“If you really have to ask, all I can say is…” Depp leaned closer to Bruce, looked him straight in the eye, and said, “I can see through everything.”

"See through everything?" Bruce said skeptically, unsure of what Depp meant. "Why do you always like to speak in riddles?"

Depp said, "I'm not speaking in riddles, I really can see through everything!"

Besides... zinc!

"Alright, do you have any plans for dealing with those guys?"

Bruce gave up on asking Depp about it, since Depp only ever talked when he felt like it.

Otherwise, even if you try every possible way to search, you won't find any useful information at all.

To be honest, Bruce felt that compared to Depp, he was nothing but a Dark Knight.

The man before me is truly hidden in the darkness, someone who can never be seen or understood.

Depp thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry about those guys from the Court of Owls. There'll be a good show tomorrow."

Chapter 188 The Powers Family's Hotheads

"Don't rush me!" Bruce said angrily. "Do you know what I just went through? And those guys lured the children to their lair and raised them into those inhuman claws. How could I not be anxious to bring them to justice!"

Bruce, who had just been tortured to the point of near collapse, had not yet fully recovered.

After all, this was the closest he had ever felt to death since his debut.

The mere mention of the owl forensic pathologist ignites an almost boundless rage within Bruce.

I must get all these guys arrested and put in jail!

Faced with Bruce's questioning, Depp shoved another hamburger into his hand and said:

“I know you’re in a hurry right now, Bruce, but you really shouldn’t be. Those guys in the Court of Owls are at least still human. It’s only when we encounter enemies from other star systems or even other dimensions that you’ll really be in a hurry.”

"Also, believe me, there will be a good show tomorrow. Those guys may take their own lives without us having to lift a finger."

Enemies from other galaxies and other dimensions?

Bruce was momentarily stunned upon hearing this. Had Depp already thought that far ahead?

He no longer doubts that Depp is a criminal or villain.

Bruce even had a strange trust in Depp; he would carefully consider whatever Depp said, whether true or false.
