What? Teammate lives in Arkham Asylum?

Chapter 1122 When it gets dark, please close your eyes; the Bat Family strikes.

"So you kidnapped me just to make some extra money on the side?"

Tim, who was tied to the chair, sighed.

The ropes binding him offered him almost no restriction; he could break free at any moment if he wanted to.

But to the outside world, he is a renowned genius boy who is physically weak, and a person who was entrusted with an important task by his adoptive father before he even came of age, becoming the de facto controller of the Wayne Group and leading a business empire to prosperity...

Instead of a vigilante known as "Red Robin".

So even though he was confident that he could wipe out the entire group of bumbling thieves after untying the ropes... he couldn't do that.

Because there were still hundreds of hostages around.

“Um, Mr. President, we had no choice but to do this.” Standing next to him was a young man who looked a bit dull. He took off the mask covering his face because he felt hot. “We came here because we heard that the crime rate in this city was high. This way, we can get rich quickly by robbing banks… Although kidnapping you was a spur-of-the-moment decision, I believe it will make more money than robbing a bank.”

"Are you one of our company's employees?"

"...You probably don't know anyone like us."

“First, you took off the mask that was concealing your identity…” Tim turned his head away, somewhat speechless. “Second, I personally handled this year’s spring recruitment, and I remember everyone.”

"……what?"

The young man touched his face blankly.

Can it still be like this?

However, he quickly put the matter out of his mind.

Once they get the money, they run away immediately. Can the Gotham Police Department really track them down across borders?

"In short, we don't want to hurt you, we're just after your money."

“Hmm, I see.” Tim’s lips twitched. “In Gotham’s environment, criminals like you are a bit too much of a breath of fresh air.”

After all, most of the villains entrenched in Gotham City are wealthy and educated antisocial personalities; money is merely a byproduct of their pursuit of criminal values.

Moreover, this group of people... definitely did not pay any respects to anyone.

This is Penguin territory, and Penguins don't allow bank robberies here.

Because this bank is basically full of penguin money and precious metals.

So the problem these idiots need to consider isn't how to take the money, but how to survive the Penguin's subsequent pursuit.

This guy is the most vengeful of all the villains in Gotham.

"Ah, thank you for the compliment."

I wasn't just praising you!

Tim was utterly speechless; he felt his head starting to throb...

It was just as troublesome as facing those parasites within Wayne Enterprises during a meeting.

Especially the Gotham City Damage Foundation, which was originally established under Bruce Wayne's name to compensate for and repair the damaged Gotham City...

But now, this Gotham City Damage Foundation, with a scale of over 10 billion US dollars, has become the largest blood bank for Gotham City's so-called "elite."

Having realized this, Tim, with Bruce's permission, began to deal with this group representing Gotham's elite...

Even though this kidnapping seems like a group of bumbling thieves taking advantage of the situation, it just so happens that it happened when he was on his way to the bank? And coincidentally, one of the robbers was an employee of Wayne Enterprises who knew him?

Sometimes, too much coincidence can seem like a kind of...

Demonstration.

Of course, Tim had no doubt that these bumbling thieves were being used without their knowledge.

Just as Tim was caught up in his own mental storm, his ears suddenly picked up a faint bird call.

That's the call of a robin.

The bird calls went unnoticed by the bumbling thieves, and the other citizens, who were also being held hostage, clearly had no interest in listening to birdsong.

But Tim knew...

There are no robins in Gotham... only robins.

He slowly raised his head and looked up at the surrounding high places.

Soon, he saw Jason imitating a robin's call at the back door of the upper floor.

This guy is wearing a round red hood; he doesn't look like a vigilante hero at all...

It's more like a red date that has come to life.

Thinking of this, Tim's lips curled into a slight smile.

Then he nodded slightly and closed his eyes.

Great, now that Jason has arrived, the others should have taken their places as well.

As a kidnapped hostage, he is now free to make his move.

He didn't sleep well last night because of work, so he should take this opportunity to get some sleep...

Anyway, that meeting can't go on.

……

"Seriously, is Tim really that lazy?" Jason rested his hands on the marble railing, looking speechlessly at Tim, who had his eyes closed. "Our dear little brother is only thinking about himself!"

"Come on, Jason. Do you think you can understand the intensity of Tim's work every day?" Nightwing looked up at Jason, who was almost a head taller than him, and curled his lip. "Our allowance and trust fund are all earned by him."

“That’s why I came to save him, because I understand him.” Jason smiled helplessly. “But he’s really unlucky. He ran into his own employee during a bank robbery.”

"What kind of family do you think we are in Gotham?"

Jason, who was being teased by his older brother, realized he had talked too much.

Nightwing then initiated communication after confirming Tim's status.

"Tim is fine. The only limitation is that there are too many hostages, and none of them are unconscious. He can't act to ensure his secret identity isn't exposed," Nightwing briefly reported the situation. "Is everyone else in position?"

"Robin is in position."

"The orphan is in position... ready to eliminate the target at any time."

"...We've said it many times, we don't kill people."

"Oh, I'm just used to this way of saying it."

Nightwing was helpless.

But she was born to the world's best assassins, and her physical skills were even better than those of bats... She was so deeply influenced by her parents that it's only thanks to Bruce's excellent teaching that she has managed to reach this level.

"Hey guys, have you finished chatting? We'll talk about Cassandra's wording later." The troublemaker's voice also came through the comms. "Batgirl has taken over the security system. Everyone get ready to attack."

Upon hearing this, Nightwing and Red Hood, as well as Robin and the Orphan, all turned their attention to the robbers below.

Soon, the countdown from the Bat Girl could be heard.

"three……"

"two……"

"one……"

"Please close your eyes when it gets dark."

Instantly, all the light sources connected to the power supply in the bank went out. Because its building structure completely blocked out natural light, it was pitch black even during the day.

And darkness represents...

The Bat Family Strikes!
