Chapter 1549: Listen, Joker’s Special Invitation

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

But Nick Fury didn’t do that.

The Joker was SHIELD’s enemy, but SHIELD wasn’t the same as before.

Of the people whom the Joker had killed, it had just been Garrett and Ward, the two Hydra agents, and the two scum politicians so far.

Nick Fury would be an idiot to lament these deaths!

As the director completely relied on his poker face to put on an act, Luke, who was on the top of the tower, was putting on a completely different type of performance, as if he had a death wish.

“Come, come, let us introduce our special guests.” This time, the cameras for the live broadcast also moved as well, as two smart drones worked together to film the scene. Not only did they switch focus, they zoomed in at the right moment to give close-ups of the bizarre smiling face.

Blood-red lips parted on that pale face, as if he was happy about the new game that was about to begin. Everybody in HQ felt cold.

“Our first team of special guests are agents and Strike force members from SHIELD.” Lights lit up the top of the tower on Luke’s left. He raised his left hand and pointed in that direction.

A black cloth was released and immediately sent flying by the wind.

There were 18 people on the left side of the tower. They sat facing Luke in two neat rows, like kindergarten kids.

“The second team… are also agents and Strike force members from SHIELD.” Luke pointed with his right hand and smiled smugly. “Are you surprised? Are you surprised?”

The lights came on to show another 18 people sitting on the right.

SHIELD: …F*cking lunatic!

With a creepy smile on his bright red lips, Luke coughed and said, “A mystery special guest will be joining this game. However, to prevent him from interfering with the game’s progress, I’ll first explain how it works.”

Pausing for a moment, as if to gather his emotions, he then said, “Guests, please listen to the questions. Now, there’s a button on the right armrest of your chair. Please press it in ten seconds. The team who presses a higher number, or reaches the number the quickest, will release the other team from

their chairs and let them go free. However, your own chairs will be launched into the river.”

Looking at the two angry teams, Luke smiled and took out a remote from the seat of his pants, and pressed a button.

The red light on the remote flashed rapidly, which immediately made people nervous.

Many people at SHIELD HQ cried out.

This time, the game had started too quickly. Even if reinforcements arrived swiftly, the team that was launched into the river would definitely die.

‘An underwater rescue wasn’t something that could be accomplished in just a few minutes.

It would take at least a day to pull out a car that had fallen into the water.

Unless they were like superheroes, who would be able to go in and out of the water to rescue people every minute?

The long benches that Luke had prepared for the two teams were clearly made of metal, and would be no less harder to fish out than a small car.

But as the red light flashed, the strange electronic countdown didn’t appear.

With soft clatters, the metal gags over the mouths of the special guests popped open, and loud curses immediately rang out on the top of the tower.

It turned out that the remote had only been for undoing the gags.

Luke was already laughing so hard that he was bent over. One hand was propped on one knee as he slapped the other knee with the other hand. “Hahahaha. You’re special agents. How can you be scared by such a small trick?”

After laughing for a few seconds, he straightened up and shrugged. “Just a joke.”

‘The two teams immediately cursed and felt helpless. This was a f*cking lunatic. Even if they cursed him, he just laughed at them.

At that moment, Luke suddenly put a finger to his lips. “Hush, listen carefully…”

The two subdued teams subconsciously fell silent and listened for a moment. Many people even looked around.

All they heard were the roars of the river and the wind, as well as the sound of cars on the bridge.

“It’s the wind.” Luke turned around unhurriedly and looked in the direction of Manhattan. “Let’s… wait for the wind together.”

SHIELD:

But the silence didn’t last long. Ten seconds later, a shadow glided through the night sky of Manhattan.

Many people at SHIELD HQ exclaimed, “Batman?”

The clown’s live feed was currently focused on the shadow, so the people at HQ had already seen the somewhat familiar shadow, but the two teams at the top of the tower had yet to notice.

But soon, people finally noticed the approaching shadow.

Stunned for a moment, several of them blurted out, “Batman!”

The cries were tinged with joy, completely nothing like the usual dread they felt when it came to Batman.

SHIELD HQ.was shocked again. “What’s that? Did the Joker drop something?”

A staff member immediately replayed the image and locked onto an item that had slipped out of Joker’s hand. The flashing red light and the button looked very familiar — it was the remote.

‘The two teams that were shouting at the top of the tower suddenly paused as a strange electronic voice rang out in their earpieces. “The game has begun. 10, 9…”

Batman, who was approaching rapidly in the distance, was now their only hope.

At that moment, someone remembered that Batman was already dead, so it couldn’t be Batman who had come, but that… Dark Knight?

Thinking that, everybody in SHIELD felt cold.

Batman was trustworthy, because the reputation of the number one hero was built on his accomplishments.

‘They felt that the Dark Knight in front of them probably wouldn’t be as good as Batman.

It would be a real joke if there really were two equally awesome Batmans in the world.

‘As the two teams watched in despair, the shadow flew near the tower and shot out two grappling hooks at the metal framework under the two teams.

The guests almost cheered out loud.

But the Joker reacted in an unexpected way.

He threw out two items that flickered with a faint yellow light.

Boom! Boom!

‘There were two explosions as the two grappling hooks were blown far away from the tower.

‘The next moment, the Dark Knight charged out of the explosions and kicked at the Joker.

“Hahahahahahaha!” Mad laughter rang out from the top of the tower, and the man in the dark purple suit blocked the kick with both hands..
