Brand Master [Comprehensive Yingmei]

Due to the pressure of public opinion and many people calling the police, the Gotham police had no choice but to suspend Colum for review, and quickly held a press conference to clarify.

From the suspension to the review, the whole process followed the procedures, but the public who was so disgusted by Collen did not buy it at all. Many people have poured into the Gotham municipal website to complain that the police department has shielded prisoners and neglected their duties.

Therefore, in the past few days, all the police officers in the entire police station came in and out with their heads down, for fear of being caught by the reporters ambushing nearby. Officer John, who had sworn to Vera before and claimed that Batman was up to no good, even asked for leave directly. Did not come to work.

There was a lot of commotion on the Internet, and the matter about Kelun continued to ferment. Vera carefully guided the direction of public opinion while packing her things and preparing to leave Gotham.

Before leaving, she asked Jackson: "Would you like to leave with me, or stay in Gotham?"

Although Jackson was handcuffed in the room for the past two days, he basically ate, drank, slept, and even took a bath honestly under Vera's threat. Now he finally doesn't look like he was half-dead like two days ago.

The child is sitting in the middle of the big bed right now, looking refreshed, his face is obviously much rosier, and his blue-green eyes are gleaming. Hearing what Vera said, his first reaction was to be stunned. Be alert:

"What else do you want to do?"

Witnessing with his own eyes that Vera easily dealt with Columbine with just a few small tricks, he certainly realized how terrifying this woman was, so he was very suspicious of the other party's purpose:

"You still have a backup?"

"That's not true." Vera shook her head, "It doesn't matter if you're willing to stay in Gotham, anyway, it's impossible for Kelun to trouble you anymore."

Jackson narrowed his eyes: "...What did you do to him?"

"How is it possible, I obviously didn't do anything."

Vera tilted her head innocently, and said meaningfully, "It's just that if Colum is smart enough, he should stay in the police station honestly and accept the investigation. It's best not to come out during this time."

For Keren at the moment, the police station is the safest place in Gotham.

With the current situation where all the people condemn him and vent their anger on Batman, if the group standing behind the scenes really wants to break the situation, they can only start with Columbine.

Just imagine, what could be a better way to end this topic as soon as possible than "Collen committed suicide because he could not bear the condemnation of public opinion"?

Therefore, it is the group of people who want to make Colum the hero who "exposes the evils of the superheroes" the most.

Jackson was dubious, and squinted at Vera for a while before expressing his intention to stay in Gotham:

"I'm originally from Gotham, where do you want me to go?"

"Or..." The child rolled his eyes, and asked with a half-smile, "You don't...you pity me and want to adopt me, right?"

I have to say that although this woman, Vanessa, is annoying everywhere, she is indeed good to him. She does not lack for him in food and drink, does not beat him or scold him, and lets him sleep on a soft bed. Take care of his personal hygiene.

The child actually knew very well in his heart: Vanessa is so busy, if she really harbors ill intentions towards him, why spend all her energy supervising him to take a shower and sleep?

Therefore, when he asked this sentence, his own heart was slightly sour.

I can't tell what it feels like to come up, maybe it's anticipation, or maybe it's fear?

He thought, if Vanessa really thought so, he would definitely not agree—although he is a child, he is not weak, and he does not need anyone to "adopt" him.

As if seeing what the child was thinking, Vera paused and looked down at him.

"I'm not planning to adopt a child."

"I'm not sure I can take on that responsibility," she said quietly.

It's not good to adopt!

After all, as long as this woman, Vanessa, is not that good!

Jackson breathed a sigh of relief.

He forcibly ignored the subtle sadness and astringency in his heart, patted his chest exaggeratedly, with a look of joy and disgust:

"Who wants you to be responsible! You don't have this plan, so I can rest assured!"

The two of them originally belonged to the cooperation of accidental collision. Now that the common goal Ke Lun is finished, they naturally parted ways.

In order to avoid the suspicion of the hotel waiter, Vera sent the child all the way to the street, and stood by the side door of the hotel.

In the end, it was Vera who broke the silence. She pointed to a children's product store across the road and said lazily:

"Anyway, you're fine, go shopping with me."

Jackson: "...bye, I'm leaving."

Before she finished speaking, Vera directly grabbed the child by the collar and dragged him across the road.

"Hey! Let me go! Who wants to go shopping with you!?"

The little boy began to struggle uncontrollably, "I'm busy! Do you really think I'll be relieved when Colum is gone?"

"Go shopping with me, and I'll treat you to dinner."

Vera said casually, and she simply assumed the posture of "carrying a child", "Why? Are you planning to let me carry you there?"

After a pause, Jackson realized that the window of the children's goods store across the street was full of all kinds of children's shoes.

"..."

Looking down at his bare feet, he pursed his lips, stared at Vera stubbornly with his eyes, blinked several times in a row, and then reluctantly said: "...then you agreed to invite me to dinner , don't lie to me!"

Vera chuckled.

... This time, she really didn't intend to lie to him.

However, the plan cannot keep up with the changes.

When one big and one small were muttering and walking towards the children's product store, several black cars approached the two of them silently at a very fast speed.

When the two people finally realized that something was wrong, the leader's van stopped suddenly in front of them, blocking the way.

Accompanied by the sound of sharp brakes, before the van came to a complete stop, the door opened first, and a muscular man jumped out of the dark compartment.

The expressions of Vera and Jackson changed at the same time.

Before Vera quickly opened her handbag to get the gun, Jackson grabbed her tightly, ignoring that the woman was still wearing high heels, and ran away.

——What kind of gun are you holding at this time!These guys are not afraid of your lady pistol at all!

"run!"

Recognizing the identity of the person at a glance, the boy yelled shortly.

Before he finished his words, the next moment, the man who jumped out of the car, whose target was clearly the two of them, strode over and stopped Vera at a speed that ordinary people couldn't react to!

"—!!"

Vera took a few steps back in an instant, pulled out the gun, and fired at the opponent without hesitation.

"you dare!"

A rough roar sounded, and the man stretched out his hand as expected, and grabbed Vera's slender arm, as if trying to pinch the arm, and before she pulled the trigger, her hand was tied with it. Twist the gun sideways!

There was a "bang" gunshot, and the bullet hit the floor tiles.

With the sound of the gunshot, the originally empty street suddenly became quieter. Only a few black cars gathered around, and a few big men got out of the car, gradually forming an encirclement circle around Vera and the boy.

——In other cities, in broad daylight and with surveillance cameras, this kind of unreasonable blocking and arresting people would hardly happen. Even if it did happen, the passers-by would have already called the police.

But, this is Gotham.

Seeing these big men and Vera shooting at the center of the encirclement, the pedestrians who were walking in this direction immediately turned around and left, for fear of being implicated.

Several nearby shops closed their iron gates in unison, and even the glass doors of the children's product store not far away were directly closed and locked. Everyone pretended not to see what was happening on the side of the road.

With one shot, Vera raised her leg very quickly and kicked towards the opponent's vital point, but was abruptly blocked back by the opponent who had expected it for a long time.

Seeing this, the man suddenly sneered, raised his hand and slapped Vera heavily in the face:

"—Smelly cousin!"

The slap was so powerful that Vera only felt pain in her cheek, and her whole brain buzzed immediately, as if it had turned into a sticky paste.

Immediately afterwards, the man's fist landed on her stomach mercilessly.

With just one punch, Vera's internal organs began to convulse and twitch. At this moment, let alone holding a gun, if it wasn't for the other party still pressing her arm tightly, she would probably have collapsed on the spot.

No matter how good at pinching and counting, no matter how good at strategy, Vera is just an ordinary girl after all, even because of previous injuries and long hours of staying up late and working overtime, she is more slender and fragile than ordinary people.

A man with a strong physique can clamp her two hands with just one hand, making her unable to move at all, even with a gun in his hand, she cannot resist.

"Let go of her!"

Jackson's voice was extremely hoarse because of excessive anxiety, and he almost shouted, "It's me you're looking for! What you're looking for is Colum's, right? It's nothing to do with her! She doesn't know anything !"

"Fucking little brat!"

There was a muffled slap on the face, accompanied by the boy's muffled moan.

—Collen's?

The sharp tinnitus kept echoing in her ears, and even her vision was blurred. Vera tried hard to open her eyes, to see the other person's movements clearly, and to clear her mind. A ball of towels with a peculiar smell was already on the ground. Covered her mouth and nose.

...is ether.

Someone picked her up by the waist, and someone cursed rudely in her ear. After losing her balance, she was thrown into the van.

While the world was spinning, Vera vaguely saw that Jackson, who wanted to take her to escape, was knocked down by another man, and he was also thrown in...

Then, no then.

She passed out.
