"I feel like I live in a world made of cardboard, always taking constant care not to break something, to break someone. Never allowing myself to lose control even for a moment, or someone could die. But you can take it, can't you, big man? What we have here is a rare opportunity for me to cut loose and show you just how powerful I really am."

"It's a Talon!"

Looking at the two corpses soaking in the water, Firefly and Poison Ivy exclaimed simultaneously. The Talon left a deep impression on them during the battle outside Gotham City. Even though the two Talons in front of them had been blown to the head, the iconic owl uniform could still be identified at a glance.

"You mean they are all Talons? Do two people use the same name?" Huntress Helena Bertinelli asked puzzledly.

"No, Talon is a code name. They are all killers cultivated by the Court of Owl since they were young, and their true identity has long ceased to exist."

"What is the Court of Owl? Please, I just left Gotham for a while, and it feels like a lot of things I didn't understand suddenly popped out."

Black Canary patted her partner on the shoulder: "You are a native of Gotham; have you forgotten that song? Although I grew up in Star City, I have heard of it."

The Huntress frowned. "So what does this mean? Don't tell me that the ballad has come true; this kind of thing is too ridiculous."

Nightwing said helplessly, "I'm afraid I will have to disappoint you because the Court of Owls has appeared."

Gotham City, a castle, one of the gathering points of the Owl Court.

Snapped!

A precious vase was smashed to pieces. People who knew the goods could see that it was ancient porcelain from the mysterious country of the East. But even so, no one cared because there were more important things that upset them.

"What is this? Where did those monsters run out from? Why did they attack the Talons? I need an explanation, a perfect explanation."

When the old man's anger subsided, a masked woman sitting in the middle of the long table said: "According to the information from the investigation, these monsters should be the experimental products of the League of Assassins and Bigfoot. They may be used for dealing with the Bat family, but I don't know why they entered the city."

"Why didn't the League of Assassins and Bigfoot come up with such a dangerous thing beforehand? Ms. Catherine, because of your negligence, the Owl Night failed."

Listening to the accusations against herself, the woman clenched her fist, thinking that you were the decision-maker. If you didn't want to start Owl Night while the Bat Family was held back, how could things turn out to be like this?

If something goes wrong, I will be backed up. Don't you know that it takes time to collect intelligence? And many things change rapidly, which requires control of the current situation, not just intelligence.

But this is just thinking about it in my heart, saying that it is not possible to say that the power of the old man's family far exceeds hers. After cursing and calming down his anger, the old man continued, "Wells, tell me about the current situation; let everyone know how much our loss is."

The masked man sitting on the lower side of the old man's left hand nodded. "In this operation, we sent a total of 133 Talons and 67 of them were unable to be recovered, 15 were recovered, and 51 remained at this stage."

"On the list, 25 people were successfully assassinated. There were Senator Reinhardt, Prosecutor Hugh Gaia, Chairman Jerion of Shell Group, Simmons Leonard, head of the Leonard family."

"19 people were failed to assassinate, including Wayne Group President Bruce Wayne, Penguin Oswald, Kane Group President Rif Kane, and Chief Justice."

After Wells finished speaking, people were frowning and smiling under the mask. Although overall they were not successful, they killed more than half of them. Many of them could take advantage of it. The difference was the size of the benefit.

For example, Shell Group is a pharmaceutical company. After the accident, the stock price must have fallen sharply. Some medical-based families in Owl can take advantage of the opportunity to intervene in the acquisition and obtain tens or even tens of billions of dollars in assets.

For families not involved in the pharmaceutical industry, even if they intervene, they will only get mosquito legs, so they are naturally unhappy. Only when large groups like Wayne and Kane fall can everyone eat together.

"Everyone has heard that we lost half of our combat power, but the gain is less than half. The most critical targets have survived, and now they will be more careful. It will be harder to assassinate again."

Wells raised his hand and said, "About Bruce Wayne, there is one special thing that needs to be explained."

All the Owl members shot their eyes at him together. "According to the image returned by Talon, after arriving at Wayne Manor, they did not find Bruce, but they found other interesting things."

"It was an underpass, leading directly to the underground of Wayne Manor, and in the underground, there appeared... a bat suit."

Hearing the bat suit, all the court members were taken aback and then began to whisper to each other. This is unexpectedly big news.

"You mean Bruce Wayne is the bat?"

Wells shook his head and said, "It's not certain for the time being. The image returned by the Talon is only one frame, and the back should be interrupted by interference."

"So, Bruce Wayne may be Batman, or Batman may be secretly hiding under his house and building a nest."

The members of the court once again discussed it in twos and threes. At this moment, they are no different from the vegetable market lady.

"Bruce Wayne is very familiar to me. He is a playboy who wanders around. If he is very good in bed, I can accept it, but he is also very good under the bed. I think it is impossible."

"Why is it impossible? Don't forget that Bruce Wayne has disappeared for more than ten years. No one knows where he went or what he went through. Maybe that's why he became stronger."

"Speaking of which, I don't know if you have noticed that when Bruce Wayne returned to Gotham, Batman also appeared. This may be the evidence."

Another owl followed his speech and said, "Besides, Batman has high-tech equipment such as Batmobiles, Batplanes, etc., and he often explodes and destroys them after using them. This requires a lot of financial support, and ordinary people can't afford it."

"Quiet, pay attention to your manners!"

Looking at the chaotic scene, the old man patted the desk hard: "This is a very important message. Even if Bruce Wayne is not Batman, Bruce Wayne is likely to be his accomplice, providing him with technical and financial support."

"Well, you are responsible for investigating this matter. I want to know an exact answer within a week."

"It must be done!"
