Chapter 238 Cooperation with Batman

The Court of Owls is a dark organization of Gotham City's prominent families.

It is not difficult to find their members.

But finding members and digging out the court of owls are two completely different things.

And because these families are all famous families, Roger can't deal with them in the same way as he dealt with the Falcone family.

Unless he wanted to formally make an enemy of Gotham's official power, otherwise, he needed a more stealthy way.

Speaking of dealing with Gotham's official forces, one cannot fail to mention Batman Bruce.

Thinking of this, Roger took out the bat phone from the different space in his body, and pressed one of the only two buttons on it.

"Beep...beep..."

The phone beeped that it was connecting to a call.

Not knowing what Bruce was doing now, Roger waited patiently for more than a minute, but still did not wait for the call to connect.

If it is a normal call, the notification sound that the other party is inconvenient to answer should have sounded by now.

But this bat phone is obviously not a normal call network.

Roger didn't hang up, but continued to wait for Batman to answer.

After waiting for about 3 minutes, Batman's voice finally rang on the other end of the phone.

"Say something quickly?"

Bruce still used his disguised low voice.

While he was talking, there were occasional shouts and gunshots from the phone.

Clearly, Bruce is having some fun going on right now.

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask if you are interested in the Owl Court."

"I have some information about them here, if you're interested."

Roger said calmly.

"It's not convenient for me now. You wait for me for half an hour, and I will go to find you when the time comes."

After speaking, Bruce hung up the phone directly.

This guy really doesn't waste any time!

Just after meeting him, the vigilante activities started non-stop.

Roger slandered in his heart, and then put the bat phone in his jacket pocket.

Obviously, this bat phone has a certain positioning function.

If he continues to throw the bat phone back into the different space in his body, Bruce will have no way to locate his specific location.

It took half an hour for Batman to come over. Roger took out a hundred dollars and handed it to the bartender at the bar, asking him to continue pouring drinks for himself.

The small bar he is in now is just an ordinary small bar.

This also means that there will be no exciting performances such as striptease here.

Here, there are only two ways to pass the time.

The first is to drink, and the second is to find prey by yourself.

Roger glanced at the female customers and waitresses in the bar, and resolutely gave up his plan to find prey.

Time passed little by little.

Roger watched the game while drinking whiskey, and half an hour passed in a flash.

Bruce is a very time conscious person.

When half an hour was up, the Batphone in Roger's pocket vibrated.

After pressing the answer button, he heard Bruce's disguised voice.

"Roof!"

After finishing speaking, Bruce hung up the phone directly.

This……

Very character!
Roger put the Batphone back in his pocket and left the bar through the back door.

After confirming that there were no idlers around, he used the "Flash" of the door fruit and came to the top of the building.

At this time, Bruce was sitting on the raised wall pillar on the roof. After seeing Roger appearing in front of him out of thin air, he looked at Roger with vigilant eyes for a few seconds.

"What information do you have?" Bruce asked directly without talking nonsense.

"Before I answer your question, I want to know how much do you know about this owl court?"

Roger asked Bruce back.

Find out how much Bruce knows about the Court of Owls so he can decide what information to tell Bruce.

Bruce was obviously not very satisfied with Roger's answer. After more than ten seconds of silence, he slowly said: "I have fought against their claws before, and I have also investigated the origin of the claws and their true identities."

Bruce didn't say much, but he revealed enough information.

First of all, he has fought against the claw, which shows that he has a general understanding of what kind of existence the claw is.

If there is no accident, he should have seen the immortal body of the claw.

As for the second half of the sentence, it proved that he had searched for the owl court, but he hadn't made much progress.

Otherwise, with his personality, he would not allow dark organizations like the Court of Owls to continue to be active in Gotham.

"I know their true identities, but it's not easy for me to take action against them, or to put it another way, it's not easy to make them too hot."

Having said that, Roger paused for a moment, and after confirming that Bruce knew what he meant, he continued: "They are all from famous families in Gotham, just like you."

"As for their real identities, let me tell you this. The Court of Owls is an organization formed by Gotham's famous families. You should know better than me why they are united together."

Roger directly spoke out the biggest secret of the Court of Owls.

After hearing Roger's words, Bruce's expression became extremely dignified.

He also had a similar guess before, but because no evidence was found, he could only dispel this guess temporarily.

But now, Roger said this directly.

"How do you know?" Bruce asked.

"If you want evidence, I can only tell you that I have no evidence either."

"If you don't believe me, just pretend I never said it."

Roger knew this purely on the advantage of the time traveler, and this happened to be a secret he couldn't tell Bruce.

"What are you trying to do?" Bruce asked.

"Since you asked about this, let me explain to you what the claw is about."

"The sharp claws you have encountered are the products they cultivated with a special metal. As for the characteristics of the sharp claws, you should know it without me telling you."

"I'm a little interested in the metals in their hands. If you are interested, we can get what we need."

"I'll help you deal with the owl court, you punish the evil and promote the good, and I will make a fortune."

Roger didn't think there was anything wrong with making a small fortune. If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't bother to care about whether the Court of Owls would do any harm to Gotham.

He is not from Gotham, nor does he have the noble character of Bruce, who punishes evil and promotes good.

After thinking for a few seconds, Bruce said to Roger: "I can cooperate with you, but this time the action must be led by me."

"no problem!"

Bruce wanted to lead the action, knowing what he was worried about without having to think about it.

Although they are not enemies now, Bruce is still not very reassured of him, so he wants to take the initiative this time to prevent him from doing something that endangers Gotham.

As for letting him take some things away, that is something that needs to be considered after the owl court is resolved.

After reaching a preliminary cooperation intention, Bruce continued: "I will continue to investigate their identities and verify your statement."

"About the action arrangements, I will contact you through the bat phone at that time."

After finishing speaking, Bruce took out the uniquely shaped bat claw gun.

"You are the boss now, you have the final say."

"By the way, in order to avoid any misunderstanding, let me tell you in advance, I will use my own method to find the claw later."

Bruce looked at him for a few seconds before saying, "It's up to you."

After finishing speaking, he left the roof with the claw gun and disappeared into the night.

Roger twisted his neck when Bruce left.

After that, he displayed his domineering arrogance.

Because of being suppressed, his current knowledgeable arrogance has dropped to around Lv3.

This level of knowledgeable domineering is not enough for him to have a detailed perception of the entire Gotham.

However, it is not a big problem to roughly lock some suspected targets.

The claws of the Owl Tribunal have been transformed with inferior versions of Dionysus factor and amber gold, so they are not the same as normal humans in terms of life energy signals.

Although Roger doesn't know what the life energy signals of the claws look like, as long as he finds those life energy signals that are different from ordinary people, even with the least efficient elimination method, he can eliminate the claws one by one.

After taking a deep breath, he decisively displayed his domineering arrogance.

With the expansion of knowledge and domineering, the range of his perception continued to expand, and life energy signals appeared in his perception one by one.

He directly ignored the signals of those normal people, and began to lock on those signals that were different from normal people.

Although there are many super villains in Gotham, the super villains in Gotham are relatively simple existences, and there are not many villains with superpowers.

Compared with those villains who only use supernatural abilities to commit crimes, the villains in Gotham are more like technical streamers.

They rely either on pure intelligence, or on some special product of science.

Generally speaking, in Gotham, the number of superhumans will not be very large.

This also means that as long as Roger can lock on those life energy signals that are obviously different from ordinary people, he can follow the clues to find the exclusive killer claws of the Owl Court.

Even if these sharp claws are still sleeping, as long as they are not dead, they will definitely be perceived by the knowledgeable domineering.

While Roger was searching for his claws, Bruce drove the Batmobile back to the Batcave in the suburbs.

The information Roger provided was like a guidepost for him, pointing him to the key to finding the Owl Court.

Roger just came to Gotham not long ago, so he doesn't know exactly how many famous families there are in Gotham.

But for Bruce, who grew up in Gotham, this is not a problem at all.

If necessary, he can even recite the names of these people one by one.

Although the relationship between the Wayne family and other families is not very good, it cannot be denied that the Wayne family is the well-deserved No. [-] family in Gotham City.

If it weren't for this, the Owl Court wouldn't be specifically against the Wayne family.

After returning to the Batcave, Bruce didn't even take off his battle suit, but just took off the helmet, and then came to the center console of the Batcave.

With the confirmed news from Roger, Bruce quickly searched for information on various families in Gotham.

The Court of Owls is a dark organization of Gotham's famous families, but that doesn't mean those famous families are all part of the Court of Owls.

In addition, the person who can exercise power on behalf of the family in the owl court must be an important member of each family, and may even be their family leader.

After a not too long search, Bruce quickly locked on several suspected targets.

After finding these suspected targets, Bruce quickly investigated their trajectories.

It is not an easy task to investigate the trajectories of these people through legal means.

But it would be much easier to use less legal means, such as hacking Gotham's public surveillance system, to track the movements of these people from public cameras all over the streets and alleys.

The equipment and tools that Bruce owns can be used to hack into the Pentagon, not to mention hacking into Gotham's public surveillance system.

The only difference is the time spent.

Through the public surveillance cameras, as well as the kind of private cameras hacked along the way, Bruce quickly grasped the movements of these suspected targets.

Just when he was about to leave the Batcave to meet these suspected targets in person, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

So he sat down again and began to search for Roger's current whereabouts.

It didn't take him much effort to find Roger's trail.

What he didn't expect was that the current Roger was still on the roof of the bar, standing motionless on the roof.

What is he doing?
After seeing this scene through the surveillance camera of the building next door, Bruce frowned slightly.

Looking at the motionless Roger on the screen, he unconsciously remembered the scene where Roger appeared in front of him out of thin air.

He is displaying extraordinary ability?

Although nothing could be seen on the screen, Bruce still made this guess.

After watching Roger for a minute or two, he got up again and drove the Batmobile out of the Batcave.

Not long after Bruce left the Batcave, Roger on the screen moved his hands and feet.

After searching for a needle in a haystack, he sensed several life signals that were suspected to be sharp claws.

He didn't pay attention to those unique life signals, but repeatedly confirmed among those life signals that had certain similarities.

Talon is not one person, but a group of people.

The transformed ones should have similar life signals.

Those unique life signals should belong to those superpowers with different superpowers, not batched claws.

After locking on to the life signals that were suspected to be sharp claws, Roger moved his limbs, and then decisively used the ability of the door fruit.

In the green space of Menmenguru, Roger moved at high speed.

Not long after, he came to a manor with a long history.
