American comics: Only I know the plot

Chapter 17 Gotham's Cancer

Although the Joker issued death threats to Rhys, putting him in a constant situation of being hunted down by patients' families and ostracized by the entire Gotham City.

At first, he was really panicked, and even thought he was doomed.

All the reputation I've painstakingly accumulated will probably be wiped out.

However, just now, he discovered that his reputation was slowly rising.

Although the increase is not much, it's only about 5 points per hour.

But with this discovery, he felt that his decision was incredibly wise.

He might work hard for a week to do good deeds, and he wouldn't gain as much reputation as he does in a single day!

Feeling the wonderful sensation of his reputation rising rapidly, Rhys unsurprisingly became immersed in it.

And to his surprise, there was an unexpected delight.

Among the people who came to protect him today was Li Wei—the famous "Prophet" among the players.

Rhys had predicted before that as long as he killed this guy, he would gain at least 500 reputation points.

500 points!

He can immediately gain a trait once he obtains 500 reputation points.

In Gotham, a place known for its honest and simple people, this is definitely a valuable asset for making a living.

"Mr. Rhys, what are you thinking about?"

Li Wei noticed Rhys staring at him, smiled at him with amusement, and thought to himself that this guy was probably up to no good.

"Oh, no...it's nothing, I'm just a little panicked."

Rhys concealed the longing in his eyes and quickly put on a look of fear.

As he spoke, he looked around, then lowered his head, revealing his somewhat bald head.

"Okay, Mr. Rhys, you'll be alright."

Li Wei smiled at the other person and stretched.

Taking this opportunity, he glanced somewhat casually at the young police officer at the door.

"Relax, kid, things aren't as bad as you think."

Li Wei's words left the young police officer looking conflicted, and then he nodded blankly.

"Thank you, Mr. Levi, but some things are beyond one's control..."

The young police officer's words made Li Wei a little embarrassed. Having read the original novel, he knew that this officer had a relative in the hospital.

He just didn't want to see the young officer do something regrettable...

"Hey young man, what's your name?"

Gordon put away his phone, looked calmly at the young officer, and casually nudged Li Wei's leg.

Levi knew Gordon was definitely doing it on purpose; it seemed he had received a warning from Wayne.

"Chief...I..."

The police officer looked conflicted, his face showing a struggle.

"Don't worry, buddy, we'll handle everything. Everything will be alright, trust me..."

Gordon patiently coaxed the officer to calm down, while subtly approaching him.

"This gun is really nice, can I take a look?"

Gordon's words made the officer's face even more panicked; he knew something must have happened.

"Chief... I'm sorry, I just wanted to protect my family..."

As the officer finished speaking, he raised his gun and pointed it at Rhys, his face full of conflict.

Just as he was about to pull the trigger, Li Wei moved.

He approached the officer from the side and reached out to grab the officer's forearm.

In any case, using a shotgun in such a confined space as a vehicle is not a good idea.

Just when Li Wei felt that he had everything under control and was about to seize the shotgun from the police officer, he suddenly felt the police car fly into the air.

Li Wei was violently struck and crashed directly into the side door of the police car.

Fortunately, in the critical moment, he protected his head with his hands, thus avoiding more serious injury.

Li Wei felt dizzy from the violent impact, while the young police officer had already passed out.

Gordon was surprisingly unharmed because he was wearing a seatbelt.

As for Rhys, he pretended to be lying on the ground, secretly glancing at the group with a dangerous glint in his eyes.

Rhys was extremely nervous after being held at gunpoint by a police officer.

He wasn't afraid of death, but he was worried about damaging his reputation.

After all, in this game, if a player dies, all their rewards will be wiped out.

Seeing that Gordon and Levi were both alright, he simply rolled his eyes and fainted.

Rescue police officers quickly opened the car doors and rescued everyone.

Li Wei discovered that a large truck had crashed into the police car they were riding in, and the cargo compartment was dented.

If the impact had been any more violent, he probably would have died here.

The truck didn't knock the police car away because a taxi was currently running under its wheels.

This discovery sent chills down Levi's spine; in his memory, it should have been Bruce's Lamborghini blocking the way.

The changes in details reminded Li Wei that although the overall plot has not changed yet, some details have begun to change.

This also made Li Wei feel a sense of urgency. If he didn't become more vigilant, he would probably face a restart soon.

Several people got out of the police car, and soon someone took away the police officer who had just been there.

Just as the group was about to switch to another car and continue their journey, the roar of an engine came from afar.

Soon a black Lamborghini came into view. Seeing the speeding bull, Li Wei knew that Bruce had arrived.

"Mr. Bruce, are you rushing to a banquet?"

Gordon spoke bluntly to Bruce, who had rolled down the car window.

He wouldn't give this notorious Gotham playboy a friendly look.

The police risked their lives to keep Gotham safe, while this playboy spent his days indulging in debauchery.

Looking at Levi not far from him, Gordon thought that if Bruce had even half of Levi's sense of justice, Gotham wouldn't be in the state it is now.

If Levi knew what Gordon was thinking right now, he would laugh until his stomach cramped.

"Sheriff Gordon, I just heard a noise over here, so I came to check it out."

Bruce felt helpless towards Gordon, having been reprimanded by his old buddy; the feeling was truly indescribable.

He glanced at Li Wei standing to the side and smiled and nodded at him.

Ignoring Bruce, Levi went straight to Gordon and offered his advice.

"Chief Gordon, let's go, it's not safe here."

Li Wei has never been kind to the children of the wealthy, especially the super-rich.

Especially those guys who spend their days having fun with their girlfriends and then change into vigilantes at night.

Bruce was taken aback by Levi's reaction, since the two had seemed to have a pleasant conversation at the dinner party earlier.

Why is it that Li Wei suddenly seems like a completely different person today?

This guy must have been attacked, which is why he's in a bad mood.

Thinking about this, Bruce realized the reason for the situation.

Looking at his two partners who were fighting side by side, he felt apologetic.

It's still daytime, so the bats can only hide in the darkness.

"You two can continue with your work; I won't bother you any longer."

After saying goodbye to the two, the bull roared again and roared away with a gust of air.

"These playboys are a cancer on Gotham!"

Gordon remained indignant as he watched the sports car disappear from sight.

"Yeah, this guy is a disgrace to Gotham."

Li Wei verbally agreed, but inwardly he regretted not having a recording device.

If we could record Gordon's words, we could play them for him when he finds out Batman is Bruce Wayne...

The scene was so beautiful that he decided to buy a voice recorder that very night.
