I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

He called his butler, Alfred, and told him he wanted to acquire Stark Industries.

On one hand, he asked Chili Pepper to help him investigate Wayne Group, determined to acquire it entirely.

Of course, neither Afu nor Xiaolajiao took it to heart and their attitude was quite perfunctory.

To this, Depp only has one thing to say: You two, stop messing around, or I'll call your parents.

Moreover, Depp thinks that if we consider all American comics, the richest person in the world might not actually be these two, but a duck.

Seeing the escalating conflict between Bruce Wayne and Stark, Depp thought for a moment and decisively cut off communication with Stark.

He then said to Bruce Wayne, "Young Master Wayne, please leave your address. I will pack up the blue and white porcelain vase and deliver it to you directly tomorrow."

Bruce Wayne smiled upon seeing this: "Good boss, your choice is wise."

Before leaving, he casually transferred one million dollars to Depp's card.

After seeing Bruce Wayne off, he immediately sent a message to Stark: "The Wi-Fi just dropped, and I kicked that guy out. I'll have the courier company mail this blue and white porcelain vase to you tomorrow."

Since we have seven days to travel to Marvel, we can just bring it along to Stark when we're done.

Three seconds later, Stark replied: "Depp, well done! You're a true buddy of mine!"

Depp immediately pressed his advantage: "Oh, by the way, that guy just offered three million dollars."

Opportunities for big spenders don't come every day, so Depp said he had to seize them.

Stark replied quickly as usual: "Heh, only three million? You think you can compete with me with this level of skill?"

A minute later, looking at the four million and one dollar balance in his card, Depp inexplicably felt that he had underestimated the amount he had just mentioned.

Chapter 2 First Encounter with James Gordon (Please add to your favorites and vote!)

At three in the morning, Bruce Wayne, returning from a chemical plant in Gotham City, took off his bat suit with the help of his butler, Alfred. His eyes were filled with excitement and a little fatigue.

This is his first time acting as Batman, a day he has been waiting for for a long time.

And now, he can finally take revenge on the deepest darkness of this city... no, carry out justice.

After changing into his pajamas, he lay on the sofa in the living room, fiddling with the batarang in his hand, and began to recall everything that had happened that day.

Everything was going as expected, except... that antique shop owner named Depp.

Upon reflection, he realized that ever since he entered the antique shop, he had been led by the nose by Depp from beginning to end.

This store manager seems to possess some kind of peculiar magic.

And that guy named Tony Stark in his video, judging from his demeanor, he probably wasn't lying.

But if such a multinational corporation really exists, how come I've never heard of it?

Thinking of this, he said to the butler beside him, "Alfred, I need to investigate two people and one company: the owner of Depp Antique Shop, Tony Stark, and Stark Industries."

Alfred nodded in agreement. "Yes, sir."

He knew that Master Wayne was serious this time.

---

At noon, Depp, who had just gotten up, stretched vigorously.

After sleeping for a full twelve hours, Depp felt refreshed and energized!

During his month-long stay in Gotham, he suffered from poor sleep and was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Yesterday's nap helped Depp relax a lot.

As for opening for business... just kidding, I'm a billionaire with over four million US dollars now, so the opening time is up to fate.

After a quick wash, I cooked myself a pot of hot soup for lunch.

Depp packed the blue-and-white porcelain vase that Bruce Wayne had ordered yesterday into a wooden crate lined with foam, then used a trolley to transport the crate to the trunk of a truck with his shop's name and logo printed on it before heading out.

Destination: Wayne Manor.

To be honest, Depp was really looking forward to seeing Wayne Estate in person.

After all, this is the home of the richest and most legendary Batman in all of Gotham, and even in all of DC.

The weather was nice today, and Depp was in a great mood, even finding the air in Sin City to smell sweeter.

Anyone who received what is considered the world's strongest fighting techniques, high-tech armor data, and millions of dollars the day before would wake up in a good mood the next day.

Of course, it's only "not bad," since in Gotham, a place full of danger, Depp may never have a perfectly good mood.

However, just as Depp was driving and humming a song, a dirty trash can flew over from the side street.

Clang, sizzle~~~~

Depp slammed on the brakes, nearly throwing himself off: "What's going on? Has the trash can come to life?"

Then, he immediately realized that he was about to be robbed.

Because right after he parked his car, three men carrying different guns walked over from the left, right, and front.

Three dark gun barrels were already locked onto him inside the car. Without a doubt, if he made any move to resist, these guys would not hesitate to shoot.

This is Gotham, where we only play for real.

The leader, wearing a red hood, knocked on the car window and said, "Hey buddy, if you don't want to be riddled with bullets, get out of the car right now!"

This is Gotham City after all. I've only gone out twice in over a month, and the second time I got robbed...

Moreover, the surrounding residents were already used to it and simply avoided it from a distance.

Seeing this, Depp swallowed and said, "Okay, no problem, but please relax and don't let it go wrong."

Although he had acquired superb fighting skills, he was still a mortal. If he were to take a few bullets, he would most likely not be able to be saved.

Depp pulled out the key and slowly stepped out of the car: "What do you want? I only have a broken porcelain bottle in this car."

When I put on the Mirror of Introduction, there was no name on the red hood, only three question marks!

Didn't this guy's parents name him?

The man wearing the red hood chuckled and pointed to the words on the truck: "If I'm not mistaken, it says Depp Antique Shop. Antiques... naturally they're valuable."

It turned out that the sign on the car gave it away, making the group think they were easy prey.

Depp shrugged helplessly upon hearing this, then tossed his wallet and keychain to the other person: "Take them if you want, here's the trunk key and my wallet."

Anyway, I bought those bottles wholesale for fifty dollars each. If you want, I can get you a few more.

“I like talking to people who understand.” The guy in the red hood patted Depp on the shoulder in appreciation.

Just then, a handsome, middle-aged man in a suit walked out of the pizza shop across the street.

When he saw the armed robbers surrounding the truck, he immediately threw away the half-pizza in his hand, pulled out his sidearm from his waist, and jogged toward Depp's truck.

He yelled, “GCPD!!! Don’t move, you’re under arrest!”

Depp looked over upon hearing this, and letters appeared above the man's head.

James Gordon

It's the chief of the Gotham City Police Department!

The Gotham City Police Department (GCPD) is Gotham's only official law enforcement agency.

Although... it's not very useful.

Of course, it's still uncertain whether James has become the director yet; Depp thinks the timeline of this world is actually quite chaotic.

Gordon's heart skipped a beat when he saw the red hood on the leader's head.

Because he knew that these guys were the infamous Red Hood gang.

This is a group of true desperados; if they encounter the police while committing a crime, they will not hesitate to kill the hostage.

"Damn it, I've got that young man killed!"

Just as Gordon was burning with anxiety and regretting his reckless behavior.

Because the three members of the Red Hood gang were distracted by him, Depp keenly sensed a fleeting opportunity.

The world's top-level fighting techniques have officially come in handy.

Depp first punched the red-hooded gunman in the joint, knocking the incredibly powerful UZI out of his hand, and then kicked him away.

Before the other two could react, he grabbed the car door and climbed up, rushing from the roof to the other side, where he kicked one of them down.

Seeing that the leader and his teammates were taken down in an instant, the third man at the front of the car panicked and was easily knocked down by Depp with a hook punch.

In just three seconds, Depp took down all three armed thugs.

This is top-tier fighting style from Bruce Wayne!

This was the first time Depp had ever felt so exhilarated, and he even had a slight urge to beat up James Gordon, who had just arrived.

James Gordon, who had just run up to the truck, was dumbfounded. The famous Gotham detective never expected that the young man in front of him was not only handsome, but also so skilled in fighting!

After a quick comparison, he realized that, disregarding strength and focusing solely on skill, he was far inferior to this young man.

However, this is definitely a great thing!

Because this young man did not lose his life.

Gordon took handcuffs from his pocket and cuffed the two henchmen together.

But the first Red Hooded guy who was kicked away struggled to his feet, threw a smoke bomb on the ground, and fled in panic.

Gordon rushed out of the smoke, but the red-hooded figure was nowhere to be seen.

"Damn it, that guy got away again." Gordon, having failed to score, kicked one of his henchmen hard, then smiled and extended his hand to Depp: "Hello, I'm James Gordon from the GCPD. I must say, you played really well, young man."

Depp straightened his disheveled clothes, smiled, and shook hands with Gordon: "Leonardo Depp, the antique shop owner."

As he spoke, he pointed to the slogan on the car.

Chapter 3: Departure, a Seven-Day Marvel Tour!

To be honest, Gordon really liked the young man in front of him.

They even considered recruiting Depp into the police department, since with such skills, it would be a waste not to contribute to the safety of Gotham City.
