Chapter 29 We Only Have One Chance

Donton put down his fork, waved to the woman, and then pulled out a pistol from his waist.

After loading the gun, Donton raised the gun and fired two shots at the ceiling.

Boom!

The moment the gunshot rang out, even the woman who thought she was experienced trembled with fear.

As for the other people in the restaurant, after a brief moment of stunned silence, some of them immediately squatted under the table, while others fled in all directions frantically.

If Donton killed one or two fleeing people at this time, and then ordered them to stand still, he could also bring in a qualified hostage.

Then he could start a little robbery at the Caine Hotel.

But what Downton wanted was for the restaurant to be in chaos. Only a chaotic restaurant could deter the security guards who were planning to shoot from doing so.

While rushing towards the fleeing crowd, Donton picked up a little boy who was abandoned by his careless mother.

Rubbing the little boy's face with the muzzle of the gun, Donton said to him with a smile.

"Young man, uncle will take you on an adventure!"

"You're lying, you're a bad person!"

The little boy looked to be four or five years old, so he was certainly not stupid. He shrank back in Donton's arms, grabbed Donton's collar and spoke to him.

Hearing the child's words, Donton grinned at him.

"Stop talking nonsense, you are a hostage now, haha!"

While laughing, Donton freed his hands and waved to the astonished security guard in the distance.

Then, Downton, holding the child, swaggered down the stairs, walked out of the Kane Hotel, crossed the garden at the door and came to the street.

After smashing the window of an Audi R8 with the butt of a gun, Donton put the child down and drove the middle-aged man in the driver's seat out at gunpoint.

"Good morning, man, have a great time in Gotham!"

While starting the car, he waved the gun at the middle-aged man who raised his hands.

Hearing what Donton said, the middle-aged man's forehead turned red with anger.

"This is my new car, which I bought only three weeks ago. You... drive it gently, man!"

"Haha, I can drive however I want. Just wait until I go to the police station to claim your car!"

Looking at the middle-aged man's distressed look, Donton stepped on the accelerator hard and rushed out at lightning speed.

With a violent push on his back, he scraped against several cars along the way and managed to break out of the small encirclement temporarily set up by the police who had just arrived on the edge of a car accident.

After driving two streets, Donton crashed the car directly into a BMW 4S store.

While the store was in chaos, he got out of the car and walked farther and farther against the flow of people.

At the same time, in a helicopter flying over Gotham, Gordon looked helplessly at the chaos caused by Downton.

The sniper beside Gordon asked softly.

"I have locked onto Downton. Can you shoot, Sheriff?"

"Will shooting help?"

Gordon replied to the sniper helplessly, then continued to look at Downton who was walking away with the telescope.

When Downton was sleeping, Gotham continued to run. In order to collect information about Downton, Gordon even met with Falcone.

In Gotham City, where gangs are rampant and corrupt police are in power, Gordon, as almost the only good policeman in the police station, would not survive without sufficient background.

Although the Gordon family is now in decline, in the era of Gordon's father and his uncle, the Gordon family was one of the most prominent families in Gotham.

Gordon's father is a good friend of Falcone, and even his father and his uncle are members of the Court of Owls!
What is this concept?
If Gordon had chosen to go along with the corrupt officials when he was young, he would at least be the chief of the Gotham Police Department, and maybe even the mayor of Gotham.

The reason why he is just a small deputy sheriff now is simply because his ideas go against those of too many vested interests.

As for last night, after visiting Falcone, Gordon and Falcone talked a lot and exchanged information about Downton.

From this, Gordon already understood some of Downton's abilities.

When you die, you will be teleported and resurrected randomly, and you can even be teleported when you are captured.

How can I catch him then? What's the point of killing him?

Thinking of this, Gordon shook his head weakly and then spoke to the sniper.

"Let's gather our troops, let him leave, and send a few people to follow him and get timely information on his location.

He might launch an attack on the Dimitrov family next, or he might get involved in the operation in the metropolis.

As for the Dimitrov family, Falcone has already sent people into their territory, and we have to blockade their battlefield, damn it!

As for Metropolis, General Ryan had already rushed to his daughter's side last night and prepared a trap for Downton that the military believed was feasible.

If Downton chooses to go to the Metropolis to meet with reporter Ryan, he will then be in the hands of the Metropolis and the military.

I hope he leaves Gotham. After all, I can’t see any hope in Gotham without him. If he continues to stay in Gotham, God knows what kind of chaos Gotham will be in!”

Speaking of this, Gordon frowned, and he suddenly thought of something.

He just continued speaking thoughtfully.

“No, he went around Wayne Manor yesterday.

Although we have not yet figured out Downton's attack patterns and criminal principles, the damage he has caused so far is either to the territories of gangsters, wealthy people with a certain amount of wealth, or stores or banks with relatively high-end brands.

From this, it can be seen that Wayne Manor may also become Downton's target!"

"Wayne Manor!"

Gordon's words stunned the other police officers on the helicopter. They really didn't expect this.

After all, in Gotham City, the Wayne family name is the core of everything. Even though Bruce Wayne has just returned to Gotham after seven years, people don't think there will be any problems with the Wayne family.

Because the Wayne family’s business model and housekeepers are so amazing!

Now that Gordon reminded them of this, the policemen immediately looked like they were watching an amusement.

The police also have a hatred of the rich, and they would love to see a big family like the Wayne family make a fool of themselves.

What if the Wayne family, the richest family in Gotham, was blown up by a lawless ghost like Downton?

That would be so exciting!!!
At this moment, in Wayne Manor mentioned by Gordon...

Alfred brought breakfast and gently pushed open Bruce Wayne's door. Then he saw Bruce sitting at the desk writing and drawing.

With his back to the door, Bruce spoke without turning back even though Alfred was silent.

"Knock on the door next time."

"Indeed, sir, I should have knocked, but I didn't because I didn't want to see you awake."

In response to Bruce's reminder, Alfred gave a wry smile and brought breakfast to Bruce's desk.

Alfred continued as he placed the cutlery for Bruce.

"Even if it means wasting the breakfast I prepared carefully, I would rather you sleep a little longer. You didn't come back until four in the morning last night, but it's only eight twenty now.

Bruce, less than four hours of rest will not allow you to be more active in Gotham's night. No matter what you want to do, at least make sure your body is able to support your ideas. "

"But time waits for no one, Alfred!"

Bruce interrupted Alfred and showed Alfred what he was drawing.

After noticing the mask that looked like cat ears drawn on the paper, Alfred nodded slightly.

“Is this the mask you wanted? I will break down the design so I can place orders with suppliers around the world.

But are you sure you are ready? This time period is much earlier than you originally planned.

Or have you been affected by something else, the ghost who kidnapped the daughter of the Deputy Minister of Defense?
If so, it's not a wise thing to change plans for someone who shows up out of nowhere, because he can obviously make a lot of mistakes, but we only have one chance, Bruce."

After waiting for an entire afternoon, I got the ending where there was no recommendation. I can’t try it out next week, and I’m really upset.

I am trying my best to keep my mind stable, and I also ask everyone to read this article. Don’t keep it, as it may really die.

The starting point now is different from before. All the results of new books depend on follow-up reading. Without follow-up reading, there will be nothing. Alas, I am exhausted.
