American comics: I became a god at the beginning, I chose to practice both science and magic

She tried her best to think positively, thinking that Superman's jailbreak was nothing.

After all, if he can be defeated by Shazam once, he can be defeated a second, third, or even countless times.

If Speedmaster is smart enough, he should keep a low profile and avoid appearing in the public eye as much as possible, as that would greatly increase his risk of being exposed.

And this news was sent by Green Lantern, so the Justice League should have known it. If the Justice League knows it, Shazam must know it too.

So now Shazam must also be paying attention to the news about Speedmaster. Thinking about it this way, at least for the time being, Speedmaster will definitely not easily come out to cause trouble.

This is a good thing!

If Speedy could escape, he wouldn't have to be taken away by the Justice League.

During the time that Speedmaster was imprisoned, Waller had ordered the collection of all the kryptonite hidden in the Arctic base and the metropolis, and hid them in a place where no one could find them.

As long as Superman cannot absorb more Kryptonite, his power cannot be fully restored, and even the federal government may not have a chance to subdue him.

If Superman cannot recover his original strength, he can be harmed or even killed by a nuclear bomb!

The more Waller thought about it, the more she felt the plan was feasible; all she needed to do was work out some details.

And remind President Wilson to celebrate as much as possible in the sun.

She thought about it and felt that she should remind Ross about this matter.

If President Wilson is the first target of Superman's hatred, then Ross should be the second or third target.

Super Queen is her strong competitor, and both of them are the two women that Super hates the most in this world.

But Super Queen at least still has the strength to fight, and because Super Tyrant's strength has weakened, she may have a certain chance of counterattacking.

However, if Ross encounters the Speedmaster, he will definitely die!

Chapter 357 Bloody Banquet

Gotham Nights.

The time finally arrived for the Capote family's private banquet.

Today is the day when the Penguin, also known as Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot, officially returns to the family and succeeds as the head of the family.

Under the current complex situation in Gotham City, even the founding family must have someone wise enough to take the helm in order to stay out of trouble and even reap the benefits from the rapids.

The handover of power between the old and new Cobblepot is a big event, so all the leading figures in Gotham City will send important representatives (usually the current head of the family or heir) to participate.

The Red Hood took off his mask and sneaked into the banquet as Jason Todd. He expected that almost everyone inside would die at his hands, so he did not change his face, but chose to show his true face.

He was attending the party as the adopted son of "Little Thomas Wayne".

In the old Western system, if a family could not produce its own offspring, the adopted son would have the right to inherit the family.

And as we all know, Thomas Wayne Jr. never married and had no illegitimate children, so it makes sense that he arrived on the scene with an adopted son.

"I didn't think you'd attend an occasion like this, Thomas."

Someone who knew Thomas came up to talk to him, and Dick greeted him with a fake smile.

After these days of experience, he has mastered the advanced conversational skills of telling lies with open eyes. He can chat with this person he doesn't know, and anyway, he is not using his own face.

Jason just looked at everyone in the venue indifferently. He was judging the situation here with his own eyes, deciding how to move, where was the best shooting position, where to retreat, how to use the terrain advantage, etc.

"Is this your adopted son? He looks a lot like you." The man who had been bragging to Dick suddenly sighed, "You were like this when you first came here, so cold and unwilling to talk to anyone."

"He's just not mature enough." This was Dick's only explanation.

"Yeah, we were all immature back then, do you remember? A big thing happened a few years ago, right after our reunion."

Dick didn't know what was going on and was about to make an excuse to get away with it when the person opposite him said, "Remember Elliot? That family that's also one of ours."

Dick, who was pretending to be little Thomas, frowned. He really didn't know about this.

"Have you forgotten?" the man asked in surprise. "Isn't that man your best friend? I heard he admires your father so much that he even changed his name to Thomas, the same as yours."

Dick turned his head immediately when he heard that. Thomas from the Elliot family?

The man came closer mysteriously and whispered, "I heard he killed the rest of his family and took all of Elliot's property. He even gave himself a nickname similar to Night Owl."

He uttered a name in a low voice: "Silence!"

"Now, let us welcome the patriarch of the Cobblepot family!"

The master of ceremonies was the mayor of Gotham City, who was recently elected and was a lackey supported by the Cobblepot family.

Amidst the polite applause of the people around him, an elderly man in a wheelchair was pushed onto the podium by a fat man with a hooked nose.

The old man is the current head of the Cobert family, and the fat man with a hooked nose who serves him diligently is the Penguin Man who had just met Jason a few days ago.

The penguin man now had none of the calm demeanor he had a few days ago. Instead, he followed the old man like a flatterer, just like a fat pug.

But Jason knew the true face of this man. He was a man with a deep mind and a cruel heart. Everything in front of him was just an illusion he created.

And so far, his disguise seems to be very successful.

Jason could observe that the Coberts standing around were looking at the fat man with mocking and disdainful expressions. Their facial expressions were so poorly controlled that it made the people from other families present feel very strange.

They all knew that today was not only a celebration of the Penguin's return to the Cobblepot family, but also an announcement that old Cobblepot would hand over the position of head of the family to the Penguin.

They were all witnesses to this incident, but now it seems that there is no consensus within the Cobert family regarding the succession to the position of head of the family.

The objection is written all over his face!

How is the Penguin supposed to manage the clan like this? No one will obey him, okay?

But at the same time, they also admired the Penguin Man. Surrounded by such discriminatory gazes, he was able to remain calm and smile.

This person is definitely not simple!

All the attendees were smart people, and they watched the Penguin's every move. Their evaluation of him was much higher than that of other Coberts who only judged people by their appearance.

It seems that Cobert has indeed lost his talent.

Old Cobblepot is not only frail, he even gives people the feeling that he will not live long. His voice sounds like the old Godfather played by Marlon Brando, hoarse and low.

The Penguin lowered his head eagerly and put the microphone in front of him.

"Today... the Cobblepot family has called everyone here, not only to have everyone bear witness, Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot..."

The old man patted the back of the Penguin Man's hand with his withered palm.

"It's this little guy. You all know him. In the past, he has been in the Joker Gang, and he and some of his friends have been fighting against our old enemies..."

"That night owl!"

When he mentioned this name, the old man's body seemed to tremble.

The penguin man quickly smoothed his chest, being as filial as if he were his own son, but the blood relationship between them was very shallow, just a indirectly related relative.

The other Coberts around looked at the Penguin's pretentious appearance, gritting their teeth in hatred, but they could do nothing about it.

They dare not disobey the decision made by old Cobblepot, but don't think that the position of patriarch is in Penguin's pocket.

They sneered. Without their cooperation, the Penguin Man would never be able to hold on to this position!

The Cobblepot family cannot command everyone just by having the empty title of patriarch. No matter how big the family business is, it is still run by people. Penguin will understand this.

As for old Cobert's thoughts?

He was almost dead, what else could he do?

Besides, even if he didn't die, after losing the title of clan leader tonight, he would just be a disabled old man waiting to die, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

So they watched quietly as old Cobblepot declared Penguin as his successor and handed the position of patriarch to Penguin.

The handover process went smoothly. There were no inquiries and no one raised any objections at this time.

After signing his name on the contract brought by Cobblepot's family lawyer, Cobblepot officially became Cobblepot of the Penguin from that moment on!

"Oswald, I leave this to you..." Old Cobblepot only spoke a few words and signed his name, but his eyelids were already drooping and his energy was even weaker.

The Penguin respectfully escorted him out of the living room, then ran in with his short legs.

Not only is he fat, he is also very short, with a stocky figure.

To be honest, if Jason hadn't seen his demeanor, he wouldn't have been wary of such an insignificant guy.

The Penguin took advantage of this and successfully misled everyone.

But when he stood on the podium where he was the only one there, his temperament suddenly changed.

From a fawning fat man, he became a powerful figure.

The contrast was so strong that he stunned everyone present the moment he stood on the podium.

The Penguin pulled a cigar from his pocket, lit it with a match, and held it in his mouth.

He took a light puff and then let out a long breath. The aroma of the cigar filled the venue with the smoke.

The first words he said shocked everyone: "You know what? I was going to do something to you Sons of Bitch, you know, just like in the movies."

When everyone heard that swear word, their heart tightened, not just the people of the Cobert family, but also the people of other families.

He shrugged, shook the cigar with his chubby fingers, shook off the white ash on it, and continued: "But now I realize that I have nothing to say at all. You have ruled this city for too long, gentlemen."

"Now, it's time to make room!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the doors surrounding the venue were suddenly closed and someone locked them from the outside.

"No, man, why are you doing this again?"

Jason noticed that the person who said this was the young man who had just been chattering in front of them. He and Dick still didn't know which family this young man came from.

"He's about to make his move." Dick moved closer to Jason. "I guess closing the door is a signal for us?"

The people in the venue were startled at first, but then they quickly calmed down. Except for the female companions they brought with them who were still terrified, all the men, without exception, did not show the slightest fear on their faces.

"What do you want to do! Penguin?"

Without waiting for these people to question, the first to attack were the people of the Cobert family.

They had been patient for a long time, and now that they finally had the chance, they would of course take the opportunity to question him.

These families are gathered here, and they are all important figures. It is obvious that they cannot be alone. Otherwise, how can their safety be guaranteed?

In fact, all the major families have deployed a large number of troops outside their gates. Those people are well-trained mercenaries, and some are private soldiers raised by the families themselves.

They are all armed with guns and ammunition. Even if Night Owl comes in person, he won’t be able to enter this venue without going through five gates and killing six generals!

Of course, the Cobert family also deployed their own forces here, not only to protect themselves, but also to protect the lives of the guests present.

If any of them walked out, they would stamp their feet and the whole of Gotham would tremble. What if something unexpected happened...

Wouldn't that be a bargain for the federal government? Once they find out what's going on here, they'll definitely come in and get involved!

Therefore, even for their own sake, they must ensure the safety of these guests.

Then someone in the Cobblepot family camp shouted, "Are you all dead? Why don't you control this madman?"

"I still prefer the word you usually use to call me. What do you say? Fat penguin?" The penguin man said with a smile.

But the waiters at the venue suddenly threw away their plates and surrounded the Penguin.

These people are waiters on the surface, but in fact they are security forces hidden here, and they are carrying guns and ammunition.

The Penguin Man saw them reaching into their arms and was about to take out his small umbrella, but at this moment, the surrounding lights suddenly went out, and the lobby, which was originally as bright as day, fell into darkness.

Theirs was a dinner party, and Gotham City was a famous foggy city, where it was hard to even see the sun, let alone the moonlight.

Therefore, all the guests present were immediately distracted from their vision.

The female companions who were brought in could no longer hold back their screams. In such darkness, they could not control their fear at all, and the women's screams of terror came one after another.

No one knew that in the darkness, two hunters had already changed into a new set of equipment.

Red Hood held the large gun in both hands, and the infrared vision of the battle suit allowed him to clearly see the surrounding situation.

He saw many men grabbing the women around them and using their bodies as shields.

So this is the reason why they brought their female companions to this private club. These people... could it be that they have never thought about letting these women go back alive?

In fact, these women are just disposable here. In order to prevent them from talking too much and leaking important information, someone will deal with them after the meeting.

Only a very few will be taken home by men and escape this disaster.

As for the others... people disappear for unknown reasons every day in Gotham, they are just a few slightly beautiful women.

A raging fire burned in Jason's heart. He aimed his gun at a man in his sight, and a fire snake flashed in the air.
