As the reactor appeared at the door of the GCPD, a letter was delivered to the mailbox of Wayne Manor.
In this age of information, almost no one writes letters anymore.
The mailbox of Wayne Manor has not received any letters for more than 20 years. Although the maids still clean the mailbox from time to time, after so many years, Wayneâs mailbox has long been stained with rust.
So, when Alfred noticed that the mailbox that had not been used for many years suddenly looked brand new, he immediately felt that something was off.
Sure enough, when he opened the letterbox and took out the envelope inside, Alfred couldnât help his eyelids jumping.
The envelope had a cartoon head of Phantom Kid clearly drawn on it!
On the bottom of the head is also written, âTo Mr. Wayne.â
This is a letter from Phantom Kid!
Alfredâs mind continued to speculate as to what Kid had sent.
Could it be a new teaser?
But it was only a few days after Baneâs incident, was Kid eyeing a new treasure so quickly?
Judging from past experience, Phantom Kid generally does not send a new notice letter so quickly after getting a treasure.
And every time he sends a teaser letter, it will not be limited to the owner of the treasure but will be sent to the police as well in advance.
But Wayne Manor has not yet received any inquiries from the police.
Not to mention how busy Gotham is now; countless dead people need to be buried, destroyed buildings need to be rebuilt, nervous people need to be appeased, and scattered riots need to be suppressed.
If Phantom Kid picks this time to attack the Wayne family, he would be taking too much advantage of the situation, wouldnât he?
Alfred didnât believe that Phantom Kid would do such a repulsive act. His master spoke highly of him. Even if Alfred didnât believe his own perspective, he would definitely believe the masterâs judgment.
So if it wasnât a teaser letter.
What will be in the envelope?
Alfred was a bit curious, but instead of opening the envelope, he looked for Bruce first.
It is clearly written on the envelope that it is for the master, so the housekeeper has no right to open it without authorization, no matter how curious he is.
This is something that Alred is particularly serious about as a professional butler.
âA letter from Phantom Kid?â
Bruce, who was thinking about the reconstruction plan of various parts of Gotham, took the envelope from Alfred and asked in surprise.
He really didnât expect Phantom Kid to deliver information in such a primitive way.
Mathison couldnât help it, although it is much more convenient to send an email directly online, God knows if Bruce has any indescribable means to find out his address in return.
Even if he randomly finds an Internet cafe, it would not be safe. The surveillance camera at the door, on the side of the road, in the room, and even the built-in camera on the monitor may provide information to Bruce.
Of course, Mathison can put a disguise on, but the opponent is Batman, so of course, he had to be on his guard.
Batman mustnât be given a way to find his tracks.
Moreover, Mathison had already guessed Bruceâs first reaction after seeing the letter he had sent.
Sure enough, the first thing Bruce did after taking the envelope was not to open the envelope to see what was inside, but to pull up all the surveillance on the estate.
He wanted to know who put the letter in the mailbox.
However, he looked through all the surveillance records and found no such person.
Not even within seven days had anyone approached the letterbox.
As for seven days ago, when Black Mask and Bane were still preparing for the final battle, it was even more impossible for Kid to come here to deliver the letter.
It was as if the envelope had suddenly appeared in the letterbox by itself.
After a while, Bruce stopped browsing, shook his head, and chuckled.
âHa, how elusive as ever.â
At this time, he opened the envelope, and there was only a small card inside.
However, when he saw the picture on the card clearly, he couldnât laugh anymore.
He saw a cartoon image of the Joker on the card, and the back of the card explained in detail how Talia died of laughing gas.
Thatâs right, in addition to the reactor, Mathison also took Taliaâs body away.
After all, the tragic appearance of âLaughing to Deathâ is too recognizable; Anyone can recognise that it is the work of the Joker at a glance.
Currently, the people of Gotham are too sensitive and havenât even moved on from Baneâs incident. And you are telling me that the Joker has escaped from the doctor (jailbreak)?
Good lord, is a universal panic about to happen?
In the short term, the city canât afford to be tossed around anymore.
For the sake of the cityâs stability, Phanom Kid could only temporarily hide Taliaâs body in the morgue of a Gotham hospital. Judging from the current situation, no one would disturb her here.
So far, few people are aware of the fact that the Joker is already lurking somewhere in Gotham.
The few super-criminals that Bane released from Arkham, like Black Mask, actually knew the Joker had escaped from Arkham Asylum before Baneâs act.
But these villains have tacitly buried this matter in their hearts.
The Jokerâs deterrent power is evident.
Of course, Mathison canât hide such a big event
Hence, he decided to reveal the matter to Batman shortly after.
Anyway, these two people are destined to be arch-nemeses, let them kill each other. Mathison doesnât want to be involved with any of these two people.
âAlfred, Iâm going out!â
After reading the letter from Phantom Kid, Bruceâs face was gloomy. He left the last sentence and ran to the Batcave.
He had to go see Taliaâs body.
Although Phantom Kid should not deceive him in this matter, Bruce must still go to verify.
At the same time, in the Triskelion of S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.
The leader of the worldâs largest secret service, Nick Fury, is now in a virtual meeting with the World Security Council.
In the directorâs office, Fury was facing the holographic projections of the five permanent directors, his expression was not pretty.
The reason is very simple; this meeting is not to discuss any major event, but a questioning from the Security Council to Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D.
âTerrorists took the entirety of Gotham hostage and threatened a government with nuclear bombs. S.H.I.E.L.D. did nothing during the whole process. And in the end, a thief rescued the city!â
âWe have to wonder if the money the World Security Council invests in S.H.I.E.L.D. every year worth it?â
âIf the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. is so useless, not even as good as a single man, then we need to have a good discussion about your authority, Mr. Fury.â
A director attacked Fury, and his words were very straightforward.
He was close to pointing his finger at Fury and saying, âIf you can do it, then do it; if you canât, then get the hell out!â
