Chapter 46 The Court of Owls

"The Judge is being targeted!"

Dam's eyes kept darting around as he spoke quickly, as if he was worried about something, his gaze flashing with alertness.

"Being targeted?"

"Yes, this is the word circulating in the underground world recently. In fact, there has been an ancient legend circulating in Gotham City! Behind all the crimes, there is a powerful organization standing silently. This organization has been controlling Gotham for many years!"

"Oh?"

Lin Jue became interested all of a sudden. After all, in his impression, there didn't seem to be such an organization.

Although I know that this world cannot be generalized as I have seen it before.

"We all know the name of that organization, but we don't know where they are hiding. They monitor the daily lives of everyone in Gotham. They are the real controllers of Gotham!"

Dam lowered his voice, and it was barely audible in the noisy bar, but Lin Jue had extraordinary hearing.

"So don't keep us in suspense!"

"The Court of Owls!"

"?"

"It is said that they have begun to pay attention to the Inquisitor. They have always condoned crime and hate both Batman and the Inquisitor. They are really a damn cancer of Gotham!"

Dam's expression was filled with resentment and a hint of doubt.

Lin Jue was not panicked. If it was his previous self, he might still pay attention, but now...

At least in Gotham, he no longer needs to be too afraid!

With the sound of the door ringing, the travelers in the tavern began to return home. Dam and Emily said goodbye and left.

After saying good night to Emily, Lin Jue walked into his room, leaned on the quilt as usual, and listened to the gradually soothing breathing next door.

Until a beam of moonlight shone through the curtains onto his bed, Lin Jue slowly stood up, trying not to make any noise, opened the window, and scanned the dark streets with his eyes that could see at night.

The next moment, he suddenly jumped down from the window. The moment he landed, his figure turned into a shadow and quickly disappeared in the corner of the block.

In a certain university, young people in groups of three or four were walking on a street where there were few pedestrians.

"Really, I really saw the Judge!"

A burly young man couldn't help but shout, but his companions obviously didn't believe him, and everyone was laughing.

This made the young man seem helpless.

"Speaking of which, we are playing so late tonight, maybe we will encounter criminals! You know what I mean!"

A girl with long wavy blonde hair couldn't help but chuckle.

"What a joke! Those criminals might be able to mess with us, but they will run away as soon as they see you!"

A white young man couldn't help laughing, and his words were echoed by the people around him. It seemed that everyone believed this seemingly ridiculous statement.

However, the girl curled her lips with a look of disdain: "I hate it most when others put me and my family together!"

As he said this, he strode out of the crowd and walked quickly towards the darkness at the corner of the street, while the classmates behind him burst into laughter.

"What on earth is Elena thinking? If it weren't for her, we wouldn't dare stay here until now!"

"That's right, that's right. Her family is a well-known wealthy family in our East District. Hurry up and follow her. What if we get too far away and get targeted by other criminals? No one will protect us!" "Haha!"

In the street filled with laughter, these people followed the girl quickly with smiles on their faces, as if they would be safe by walking beside her.

However, things always go against one's wishes!

Just as this group of people were talking and laughing while driving in the dark streets, a figure suddenly appeared at the bright street entrance ahead and stood quietly in the middle of the street entrance.

He seemed to be facing them, but because of the darkness, these people could not see his appearance clearly.

"…Hey! What are you doing there, bro?"

The whole group of students stopped in the middle of the intersection and dared not move forward, including Elena. The situation in front of her made her frown, but she was not panicked at all, as if she had something to rely on.

A male student looked at Elena, then plucked up his courage, walked up to her, and walked slowly towards her while shouting loudly.

But as he approached and cursed, the man remained motionless and stood at the intersection where they were heading.

"Hey! Brother, if you want to rob, I can tell you clearly that you have picked the wrong person!" The man shouted loudly. Although his words were arrogant, he did not dare to take a step forward at this time. His companions followed behind him and began to look nervous one by one.

They gradually sensed an unusual atmosphere.

"Elena, my friend, she is from the Grayson family. Brother, you should know Grayson, right?"

The man was a little unconvinced and shouted again. The next moment, the figure standing at the intersection finally moved. Under everyone's expectant eyes, he slowly walked towards them.

"Fuck! Fuck!"

The group of students finally panicked and rushed back with Elena. However, a male student at the back couldn't help but exclaimed: "Fuck, who are you?"

These people looked in panic, and saw a figure appear on the street behind them, standing quietly at the intersection where they came from.

"Fuck, Elena, quickly call out the men who are protecting you!"

A student finally looked at Elena in panic, but there was also a trace of panic on Elena's face. She suddenly realized that the situation seemed a little wrong. Usually at this time, before she encountered the criminals, those guys would be held down by her bodyguards hiding in the dark.

But now, looking at the figures on two corners of the street, slowly walking towards him and others, his bodyguards did not move at all.

At this moment, the group of students panicked again, and two figures fell to the ground, their suits and leather shoes covered in blood.

"what!"

The female students in the team were the first to scream, and even Elena looked at the figure falling to the ground with a pale face. Her heart sank into the abyss. She recognized the appearance of her personal bodyguard at a glance.

He was a famous underground boxer, but now he was lying on the ground like a dead dog, breathing short and hard, looking like he was about to die.

Looking upwards in astonishment, I saw a man in a black windbreaker and a black cloth around his face jumping down from a building more than three meters high. He landed steadily amid the exclamations of the crowd.

"I am from the Grayson family, who are you?"

Elena's face turned pale and she shouted while pretending to be calm.

"The Graysons?"

The person who came spoke in a low and slow voice, with an inexplicable strange taste in his tone, his eyes, which were painted with a layer of black and gray, were shining, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
