Chapter 61 - JOKER

The question of who would save Rachel was quickly forgotten by graves, and he started to wander around with a glass of wine. Whether this woman is dead or not has nothing to do with him.

After a while, Lucius came to the venue in a neat silver-gray suit, with gray hair, a messy beard, and a manner that resembled Morgan Freeman.

graves couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, he is here! he saw Lucius walking to the center of the crowd and said in his unique and convincing voice, "I'm sorry everyone, Bruce can't be there today for some special reasons."

"Here, I apologize to everyone."

"Tonight's banquet will be hosted by me. I hope my presence will not affect everyone's interest in the banquet."

The high-class people who attended the dinner seemed to be used to Bruce's unassuming personality, and they didn't feel strange. This was not the first time he let everyone's expectations down.

But for Lucius, everyone still respects him very much, and it doesn't matter if Bruce shows goodwill or not.

Lucius said to the crowd, " Can anyone tell me, where is our protagonist tonight?"

Harvey, who was hiding behind, raised his glass.

Lucius pulled him to the center of the crowd and said loudly, "Harvey Dent, the man of the moment, the savior of Gotham."

"He won me and Bruce's trust."

"I believe that under his umbrella, Gotham City will become safer and more positive."

"Look at this face, it reflects Gotham City's bright future!"

With the strong praise from the president of Wayne Group, there was warm applause at the scene, and even Harvey, who was not suitable for this kind of occasion, couldn't help showing a proud smile.

"To Harvey Dant," Lucius said, holding Harvey's shoulders, and raising his glass.

"cheers to Harvey Dant." Everyone present echoed in unison.

And when the upper class was drunk with money, Gordon's side was already overwhelmed, some former prisoners escaped and made Gotham's security a mess.

Immediately afterward, several city councilors and judges received Joker's death letters.

Even if Gordon rushed to send someone to protect him, in the end, two high-ranking Gotham officials died in hands of Joker, including the presiding judge who was responsible for the trial of the gang leaders.

And, he also received a tip that the Joker had taken people to the banquet venue intending to kill Harvey Dent, a rising star.

Frightened, he hurriedly notified the old butler, Alfred, and at the same time led his men to the Building, where the banquet was held.

On the other side, Harvey, who was finally squeezed out of the complimenting crowd, was just about to find his girlfriend when Alfred, who received the news, forcibly dragged Harvey into the hidden safe room in the building.

But his girlfriend Rachel was left outside because she was not nearby at the time.

At the same time, the elevator leading to the outside was suddenly opened, and there were more than a dozen thugs holding weapons.

The one at the head is not tall, but his crazy character from the inside out makes people feel inexplicably perplexed.

Beneath the dirty purple suit is a green lining.

The face is covered in white oil paint, only the mouth and edges outline a dazzling red.

The dark green and yellow hair was scattered, and in the dark eye sockets, a pair of eyes that were more white than black reflected the vicious. Here comes the JOKER.

Walking out of the elevator, he held a loaded gun and announced to everyone with a smile, "We're here to find you!"

The scars on both sides of the corners of his mouth began to twist like insects as he smiled.

A gunshot rang out, attracting everyone's attention, and Joker walked into the venue step by step with a cheerful pace.

"Good evening, gentlemen and girls."

Afterward, the other thugs filed out of the elevator and aimed their guns at the guests present.

The rich and famous, who are used to brocade clothes and high-class food, have never seen such a skirmish, they all looked at these uninvited guests with frightened eyes.

What's more, they just raised their hands high and put on a posture of surrender, they were about to kneel and beg for mercy.

Joker swept across the group of self-proclaimed high-class people with disdain, and he start looking for the trace of Harvey.

"Tonight, we're here to cheer you up."

Saying that he casually picked up the food prepared on the table, put it in his mouth, and chewed it quickly.

"I just have one question, where is Harvey Dent?"

Everyone seemed to be frightened, they didn't dare to make a sound at all, the whole venue was silent.

Losing the last bit of patience, Joker aimed his gun at a group of ladies, stole the wine from one of them, and poured it directly into his mouth.

Then he smashed the wine glass on the table, making a crisp sound.

Just this light sound made many people tremble and their backs became cold.

"Do you know where Harvey is? Do you know who he is?"

Joker kept wandering in the crowd, madness on his body became stronger and stronger.

At this moment, his subordinates had a physical conflict with a burly guest.

"What's hidden in your pants, hand it over quickly!"

The thug wearing a clown mask pointed at the big man's trouser pockets that were bulging abnormally and asked loudly.

The huge voice attracted the attention of everyone present, including Joker.

With a hint of impatience on his face, he slowly paced to the two of them, then shot the subordinate to death without hesitation, crouched beside the corpse, and asked: "What are you doing?"

Bright red blood flowed from the shattered head to the floor. This scene terrified many guests. They kept screaming and backing away, leaving a large space.

"What are you hiding?" Joker got up and turned his gun to graves.

When everyone saw this, they shouted again. Some were timid and had already been blindfolded, not daring to see what going to happen next.

graves raised his hands and tried to look scared: "I didn't do anything!"

Joker looked at grave's clumsy acting, suddenly laughed, and then sniffed the air with his nose.

"You and I are the same kinds of people."

"Yes, yes." graves nodded frantically, then took out the paper and pen he didn't know where he got it, and said excitedly, "I adore you very much, I'm your fan!"

"I don't know if I will be lucky enough to get your autograph."

Joker looked down at the white paper in grave's hand, and instructed his subordinates: "Take care of him, don't let him move, and kill him if he dares to move!"

Having said that, he turned to leave and continued to look for the trace of Harvey Dent.

It seems that he saw the grave's madness in his eyes, so he is a little bit afraid of graves.

graves shrugged helplessly, he really wanted to get the grave's autograph.

"Don't move !" The gun pointed at graves by Joker's subordinate trembled inexplicably because he always felt that he saw the shadow of the boss in this man.

The joker who re-entered the crowd seemed to have forgotten the existence of graves and questioned everyone.

"Where can I find Harvey, I have something to tell him."

"It can be explained in just a few words, doesn't anyone know?"

Just when he pressed an old man, Rachel suddenly stood up.

"Okay, stop!"
