Chapter 253 The Attack of the Owl Court
As soon as Roger flashed away with Selina, three rockets hit the moving car from three different directions.

These three rockets hit the BMW he had just bought almost at the same time, blowing up the BMW with a mileage of less than one or two hundred kilometers into a blazing fireball.

boom!
The huge explosion sound was particularly obvious in the silent night, and immediately attracted the attention of pedestrians around.

At the same time as the BMW exploded, Roger took Selina to the roof of a nearby building.

After putting down Selina, Roger said: "You stay here, don't go home, wait for me to come back."

After speaking, Roger disappeared again.

Although he didn't know who arranged the attack, this attack made him very unhappy.

If he is unhappy, it means someone is in big trouble.

After Shi Shi flash left, Roger directly expanded the perception range of knowledge-colored domineering.

Without much effort, he locked onto the attacking enemy.

very good!

After locking the positions of these attackers, he directly used Flash without any hesitation.

In the next second, he appeared in front of a group of attackers.

After seeing him appearing out of nowhere like a ghost, these attackers in uniform combat uniforms aimed their guns at him without any hesitation, and pulled the trigger immediately.

bang bang bang bang...

Gunshots rang out one after another.

However, these extremely fast bullets did not hit Roger's body.

Under the watchful eyes of these attackers, the bullets bounced off as if they had hit an invisible steel plate.

Armed arrogance!
Roger did not use the armed domineering aura to strengthen his body, but directly released the armed domineering aura, forming an absolute defense without dead ends around his body.

These bullets may be fatal to ordinary people.

But if you want to break through his armed domineering defense, the probability is infinitely close to zero.

The moment the bullet was deflected, the attackers knew the danger.

However, at this time they had no other way to stop Roger, they could only hold the trigger firmly.

Roger completely ignored their shooting, and walked towards these guys who looked like mercenaries like a god of death.

He didn't shave, and he didn't explode at any alarming speed. He walked towards these mercenaries step by step, just like walking.

Although he is not moving fast now, these mercenaries have no way to stop him.

Neither bullets nor grenades could stop his progress.

After coming to one of the mercenaries in this way, without any hesitation, Roger made a lightning move and grabbed the mercenary by the neck.

Then, with a click, the mercenary's neck was twisted.

After killing the No. 1 mercenary, he moved his wrist, exerted all his strength on his legs, and disappeared in front of these mercenaries like a flash.

what! ! !
The moment he disappeared, a scream sounded.

This scream, like the prelude to the music, kicked off the next chorus.

These mercenaries couldn't even see Roger's shadow clearly, so they fell to the ground one by one.

Roger didn't kill them directly, but broke their arms and broke their legs.

He will not kill them for the time being until he finds out who they are hired by.

Soon, in less than ten seconds, the mercenary team fell to the ground, lying on the ground and howling in pain.

After finishing this mercenary team, Roger flashed away and found the second team.

In less than a minute, the three experienced mercenary teams were all lying on the ground.

After knocking out everyone in the third team, Roger began his own torture.

At the beginning, these mercenaries had the backbone to choose to keep silent.

However, under Roger's superb torture skills, they quickly said what they knew.

After getting the initial information from the mercenaries of the third team, he approached the second team and repeated the question.

After checking the information given by the two teams with each other, he had an accurate information.

However, his torture did not end there.

Although he already knew who hired these mercenaries, he did not forget the original team.

After performing his superb torture skills on the mercenaries of this team again, Roger ended their lives and sent them to hell.

After taking care of these mercenaries, he flashed back to the roof of the building where Selina was.

"Something went wrong, and my identity with you may have been exposed."

Roger said helplessly.

"Who did it?"

Roger was able to quickly deal with those attackers, Selina was not surprised at all, and asked quickly.

At this time, Selina didn't seem to care about the fact that her identity had been exposed.

After looking at Selina for a few seconds, he said slowly, "Have you heard of the owl court?"

"The court of owls?"

Selina froze for a moment.

Having grown up in Gotham, she had of course heard about the Court of Owls.

Not to mention that she later stepped into the underground world of Gotham, knowing that the court of owls in nursery rhymes is not some horror story, but a real behemoth.

Although she didn't know the specific members of the Owl Court, she knew that the Owl Court was an existence that even Bruce found troublesome.

"Yes, that's the court of owls."

"The ones who attacked us just now were all foreign mercenaries, and they were hired by the Owl Court."

Although the mercenaries just now were hired by the Owl Court, those mercenaries had never seen anyone from the Owl Court.

All transactions are completed through the Internet, including early contact, provision of equipment, payment of deposit and so on.

"Why did the Court of Owls come to us all of a sudden?"

Selina continued to ask.

"Before I met you, Bruce and I were investigating the Court of Owls. I also visited one of their members and killed three sharp claws."

Roger briefly explained his cooperation with Bruce.

This cooperation happened before he knew Selina, so Selina didn't know about it.

"So that's it. Then this time, are they revenge, or?"

Knowing that the mercenaries were hired by the Owl Court, Selina quickly had a guess.

"It's not sure yet. They may have acted before retaliating against me, or they may not like the restaurant we just opened."

Although Roger didn't say it clearly, Selina understood what he meant.

In order to ensure that the charity restaurant was not disturbed, Roger did something to improve the security environment in the few blocks near the restaurant.

For the citizens of Gotham, this is certainly a good thing.

But for the Court of Owls trying to take full control of Gotham, this is not a good sign.

If Roger is just a superpower who can do whatever he wants, the owl court might not bother to talk to him.

After all, they have no conflict of interest.

However, the fact that Roger established his own territory was somewhat beyond the tolerance of the owl court.

The Owl Court can accept that there are uncontrolled superpowers in Gotham, and it can also accept that there are gangs in Gotham that do not belong to them.

However, they cannot accept that someone is trying to build a peaceful neighborhood under their noses that is not under their control.

In other words, they couldn't accept that someone would bring Gotham back on track.

Once Gotham is pulled back on track, for the Owl Court, who live in darkness and try to use terror to completely control Gotham, this will cause them to lose the soil they depend on for survival and foothold.

Therefore, they will not let anyone, any force, bring Gotham back to the bright world.

Not Batman, not Roger.

As for Roger's attack on the sharp claws in Silent Manor, it was a trivial matter for the owl court.

Only they also have inferior versions of Dionysus factor and amber gold, and they can make new claws at any time.

"Then what are you going to do now?"

Selina frowned and continued to ask.

She doesn't really care about being exposed as a catwoman, but she doesn't want to see the newly established charity restaurant disappear like this.

After this period of personal experience, she has completely fallen in love with this kind of behavior of helping others in person.

This brings her a sense of satisfaction far beyond the previous donations.

"Since someone has come to provoke you, of course you have to give them a suitable gift."

"Your home may not be safe now. During this time, don't go back, go live somewhere else."

After speaking, Roger picked up the phone and dialed Bruce's number.

Because of being with Selina this week, Roger did not buy real estate in Gotham.

However, it is not difficult to solve this problem.

If you want a safe living environment, just look for Bruce.

Bruce got through the phone quickly. After listening to Roger's story, he quickly said: "I have a few houses in the city center. If you don't mind, you can live with Selina for a while. The specific address , I'll send you later."

"Okay, thanks!"

Just as he thought, Bruce generously provided them with a new residence without any hesitation.

Not long after hanging up the phone, Roger received a message from Bruce.

What Bruce said on the phone was that he owned several houses downtown, but it turned out that was just a euphemism.

In order to make it easier for Roger to choose, he sent over a dozen addresses at once.

Looking at the large list on the phone, Roger shrugged and handed the phone to Selina.

"Choose one?"

The dozen or so addresses Bruce sent, without exception, were all famous mansions in Gotham.

In addition to being expensive, there is another feature of these mansions, that is, these places are purchased by Bruce in the name of other people.

Although not many people know that Batman is Bruce, Bruce did not buy these mansions in his own name for safety reasons.

As for how he deceived the famous and legendary Department of Taxation in the United States, Roger didn't care much.

For ordinary people, the tax bureau is an extremely exaggerated department, and even has a legendary record of personally arresting tax evaders and drug dealers.

But for Bruce, it is not difficult to hide from the investigation of the tax bureau.

It is a good proof that he was able to clean up Roger's remuneration in a fair manner.

Although Bruce didn't have much interest in the money laundering industry, he was inextricably linked to Gotham's underground world, so it was impossible for him not to have his own channels.

With just a brief glance, Selina has chosen the target.

After taking a look at the house that Selina had chosen, Roger expanded his knowledgeable and domineering perception range, and locked on the specific location of the mansion.

Then, he hugged Selina's seductive waist, and used the ability of the fruit of the door.

At this moment, he doesn't really mind letting Selina watch the green different space of the door fruit. He doesn't need to make Selina see nothing clearly like flashing, and he has completed the space shuttle of the green different space.

After observing the mansion chosen by Selina in the green space, Roger took Selina out of the green space after confirming that there was no threat.

Although this was the first time Selina experienced the existence of the green different space in detail, after returning to the real world from the green different space, she did not ask Roger about the green different space.

What is empathy, this is it.

What to ask, what not to ask, what to say, what not to say...

Selina knew all about it.

This is also the main reason why Roger doesn't mind letting her experience the green and different space of the fruit of the door.

After coming to this mansion belonging to Bruce, Roger was not polite, and walked around the mansion as if he had returned to his own home.

After admiring the mansion, he sat casually on the sofa in the living room, thinking about the next thing.

First of all, the court of owls must be resolved.

He had originally planned to temporarily let the Owl Tribunal go, but unexpectedly, the Owl Tribunal would take the initiative to provoke him.

Although the Court of Owls did not send their most proud claws, but hired mercenaries to deal with him, but the result was the same.

Although those mercenaries didn't know that the one who hired them was the Owl Court, the various information they revealed was enough to prove that the one who hired them was the Owl Court.

Although the attack occurred, it did not cause any psychological pressure on Roger and Selina.

Early the next morning.

Roger used his door fruit ability to bring Selina back to the restaurant.

After checking the restaurant in detail and confirming that there is no problem with the restaurant, they decided to open as normal.

However, only Selina will be in the restaurant today.

As for Roger, he had other things to attend to.
