2180 Side Story: Fantasy Journey 21

But Master Wayne’s musings were quickly interrupted by a reminder from the butler. “If you are still there in another 30 seconds, you’ll be on the military’s ‘live broadcast’.”

Turning his head to see several points of light in the sky in the distance, Master Wayne heaved a sigh and got into the Batmobile which the butler had sent over.

A few seconds later, the Batmobile changed form and flew away from the scene.

Tanks could fly? That was a basic operation. At most, it wasn’t as fast as the Batplane.

!!

What was left for the American military, who was in a hurry to clean up the mess, was a vast wilderness filled with ‘bomb craters’ and burning vegetation.

…

A month after the incident with Doomsday, on a rainy night in Gotham, Luke stood in one corner on the rooftop of a building and looked down at the city lights.

His armor was buffeted by the cold fall rain and the night wind.

The cape fluttered behind him like silk. The optical camouflage gave it a strange appearance as it switched between black and gray.

“Back then, you didn’t say you were going to make such a big fuss.” A low and hoarse voice rang out.

Without looking back, Luke closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “This is the smell of sin.”

“That’s no reason for you to mess around in my territory.” There was anger in the voice. “Also, Metropolis is right next to us. Why are you being so petty?”

Luke finally turned around and looked at another figure a few meters away.

His black cape fluttered in the wind, and he had pointy ears on his head and a bat symbol on his chest. It was none other than Master Wayne.

“It can’t be helped. I can’t afford to offend Superman.” He sighed and stated the fact helplessly. “Besides, I think we have something in common.”

Master Wayne fell silent.

He had seen a lot of shameless people, even those who didn’t care about their lives.

But this was the first person whom he had fought alongside to beat up a supervillain who dared to admit to his face that he had come to poach his job because he couldn’t beat Superman.

But Master Wayne couldn’t say anything.

At the very least, he hadn’t found any evidence of the other party doing anything bad.

In fact, Master Wayne only had misgivings, not suspicions.

The only conflict between the two parties was that… the other party was too dutiful as a vigilante.

Speaking of which, Knight had helped out during the incident with Doomsday, so Master Wayne owed him a favor.

Without concrete evidence, he really couldn’t do anything to Knight.

Superman? Hehe, that person had wrecked a lot of Gotham City, and employees of Wayne Industries at all levels had been killed or injured in that tragedy.

After a brief silence, he could only snort. “Be careful of the government. They’re not me.” With that, he jumped off and glided away.

Luke was amused. Master Wayne’s temperament was a little like that of a tycoon.

But the government wasn’t a big problem.

What Master Wayne didn’t know was that Luke knew far more about this world than he could expect.

The reason Luke hadn’t carried out any targeted surveillance or investigations on the three bigshots was because he knew it wasn’t possible.

As long as the paranoid Master Wayne found any signs, he would immediately feel threatened.

If Master Wayne found out, it might become a reason for him to convince Superman and the battle goddess to team up, which would be more trouble for Knight.

If Luke didn’t have the system’s good and evil panel, he would’ve done the same. 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

In this world, no matter who you offended, you shouldn’t offend the three bigshots, especially when it came to sensitive matters like poking into their private affairs.

Apart from that, they had nothing to say if Luke did anything else.

For example… infiltrating the government.

None of the three bigshots had a good impression of the government. Even the most saintly Superman, who had been stabbed in the back with a nuclear missile, wasn’t stupid enough to think that the government didn’t have a choice back then.

In this world, if Superman wanted to know something, it wasn’t hard for him to find out; it was just that he didn’t want to know.

Luke had Real Dream and Pheromone Control, but rarely probed into other people’s inner thoughts.

No beauty in life could withstand the contamination of the dark side of the human heart.

It was just like a joke in his previous life – to fans, their idols didn’t sh*t.

Everybody knew that this was impossible, but who would be willing to link their idol to sh*t?

Old Master Luke, who had hundreds of millions of fans when all his aliases were put together, wouldn’t be happy either.

Since Superman didn’t want to know, Luke naturally went all out and planted ‘bugs’ in the government.

Controlling the government in just a few months was impossible, but it wasn’t hard to tip them off and slow them down at critical moments.

For example, in the past month, Lex had spent money to bribe a lot of government officials for him to be diagnosed as having mental issues.

In the end, Luke just secretly gave Master Wayne a little bit of help, and Lex was sent to… Arkham Asylum.

Wayne Enterprises had long been providing this hospital with medical supplies and security technology.

Luke was also an anonymous donor to this mental hospital.

Master Wayne wanted Lex to suffer, but Luke planned to have Lex put on a ‘normal’ ‘death performance.’

Also, Lex had been talking nonsense recently.

Luke wouldn’t be frightened by a few fierce words from a bad guy, but Lex’s words seemed to imply something.

So, he decided to make a personal trip to Arkham without letting Master Wayne know.

Otherwise, if a few of Arkham’s supervillains took turns dying ‘normal’ deaths, Master Wayne would look for Luke for a ‘chat’ once more.

...

Stealing some business from this ‘market’ in Gotham City was a good choice, and Luke could earn more points in passing.

Luke’s pilfering was just one of the things that depressed Master Wayne. Also, Knight’s equipment looked 50% similar to his.

Those who had never seen Master Wayne would naturally think that Knight was Batman, and those who had seen him would think that Master Wayne had replaced his armor.

Given that they had the same targets and produced similar results, there were already rumors that Batman had an ‘impersonator’ for a partner.

If it wasn’t for the fact that they often appeared in two places at the same time, and Luke had made it clear to GCPD that he was the Dark Knight, Master Wayne would really have to enjoy the ‘honor’ of being two people.

Thinking that, Luke crossed his arms and stood quietly on the roof corner. Hm, what belongs to Master Wayne is mine. I used to be Batman, after all. freℯ𝓌e𝚋𝐧𝘰vℯl.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Moreover, there was the ‘copyright fee’ for Master Wayne. If he didn’t make up some excuse, that guy would definitely be suspicious of Luke again.

But during the fight against Doomsday, Master Wayne’s combat ability had been pitifully weak.

If it wasn’t for those last three grenades and the fact that he had created the kryptonite spear in advance, he could be removed from the trio of bigshots altogether.

What Master Wayne lacked the most at the moment was a super energy source like the arc reactor.

With that, it would only take a few months for Wayne Enterprises to make a suit on the level of the Mark 2.

...

So, Luke would get rid of Lex and then give Master Wayne a few finished reactors.

At that time, Master Wayne probably wouldn’t pay attention to Lex’s death.

Making up his mind, Luke jumped off the roof and glided hundreds of meters through the rain. His figure gradually faded and disappeared.
