Chapter 480 Batman
"Oh?"
Zhou Ning couldn't help but cheer up. He hadn't expected Richie Burke to be so efficient. He had tracked down Cotton Benson's whereabouts in less than two days. Was this the true strength of Captain Tianqi Jia? It was truly awe-inspiring.
"But there's also bad news. Because of a certain treasure, there are quite a few people eyeing Cotton Benson. If he didn't always have two helpers by his side, I guarantee he'd be turned into a golden bounty by his peers in the next second."
"What treasure?"
Zhou Ning first recalled Cotton Benson's bounty, then grasped the key point and asked directly.
"I don't know. There are rumors that General Lei Dian discovered a treasure on an island overseas, but he couldn't find a way to enter. My guess is that there may be a traitor among them, and this news has now spread throughout the entire Northern Pirate Alliance. His boatswain, Cotton Benson, came here to find someone who can help them access the treasure."
"I don't recommend you act now, because there are too many eyes on him right now. Fearing General Thunder's reputation and the threat from the Church of the God of War, everyone is waiting for others to make the first move, and then they will swarm over him like hyenas and hunt him down."
Treasure on a certain island... Zhou Ning temporarily ignored the second half of Rich Burke's words. He suddenly thought of Rick Green who had invited him to join the expedition. After thinking quietly for a moment, he asked:
"What is the reputation of Calico Benson? Who are the people who are with him?"
He did not underestimate Cotton Benson and his men just because his strength had greatly increased. There is a saying that a lion will use all its strength even when fighting a rabbit. He had seen angels fall at the hands of mortals, so there was nothing wrong with being cautious.
Rich Burke adjusted his sitting posture and said in a low voice:
"You've asked the right person. Only those within the Northern Pirate Guild know their details accurately."
"Like the werewolf Mason before him, Cotton Benson is also a pirate who has committed all manner of evil. He was involved in most of General Thunder's massacres and human trafficking activities. Accompanying him are his two subordinates, One-Eye Martin and Tai Qing."
"Cotton Benson is a super-class professional who believes in the Church of the God of War. He's supposed to be a warrior. He possesses an unknown artifact that can make certain parts of his body hard, making it difficult even for bullets to penetrate. Haha, it's a pity that this guy always uses it to bully people in the red light district."
Richie Burke seemed to have thought of something, with a jealous look on his face:
"He has two subordinates with him. One of them, One-Eye Martin, is a meteorologist. His strength is probably super-class, and he's also a firearms expert. As for Tai Qing, he's a rare walrus, a shaman by profession, and his strength is about the same as mine."
When talking about strength, Rich Burke couldn't help but feel a little sad. They were both high-level fighters, but the other party had a bounty of 5000 from Vikta, while he only had 500?! How blind! How blind!
Church of the God of War?
Zhou Ning recalled the laws he had seen before. It seemed he had to strike first. Meanwhile, District 12 was located in the southwest corner of the city, bordering Districts and in the city center. It was very close to the location of the Church of the God of War. To prevent any complications, the battle had to be ended immediately.
He thought for a moment and looked at Rich Burke:
"Well done! As a reward for your investigation, you will receive 10% of their reward."
This was the reward Zhou Ning had planned in advance. To hunt 36 sinners, a guide like Richie Burke was crucial. It would be better to just state the price directly; that would give him more motivation to work.
"It's fair, so fair!" Richie Burke couldn't help but give Zhou Ning a thumbs up, but he soon stopped smiling.
Zhou Ning's lips curled into a smile, but what he said frightened Richie Burke:
"You have to come with me on this hunt. I'll probably need you to clean up the battlefield later."
"what?"
The corners of Richie Burke's mouth twitched slightly, and after a while he made up his mind: "Okay!"
I have witnessed Wayne Stewell's power with my own eyes. He is a man who has even killed gods. He should be able to guarantee his own safety, right?
For the next two hours, Richie Burke was on pins and needles, his mind filled with scenes of himself being besieged and tragically killed by pirates. Zhou Ning, on the other hand, was calm and composed, completing his reading tasks step by step, and then leisurely mixing the alchemical reagents. His skillful and elegant movements made him look sideways.
It was not until the early morning that Zhou Ning stood up and threw him a set of black tights.
"Put on."
"Huh?" This was the second time Richie Burke was dumbfounded. He asked in astonishment, "Me? Change into this?"
Zhou Ning nodded, a smile on his face. "That's right. You just need to wear it and watch the game from the side."
"Watching the battle?"
For some reason, Richie Burke suddenly had a bad feeling.
He unfolded his clothes and took a look. After a moment, he came to his senses and remembered a name:
Batman! Batman who defeated the King of Lavidus!
Wayne Stewell is Batman!
He asked me to follow him because he wanted me to prove that he and Batman were not the same person! Then it would be convenient for him to continue using the identity of Batman to do other things!
But, BatmanTM's bounty is 22.5 Victoires. What if they lose their minds and attack me?
"Haha, this clothes doesn't seem to suit me. Can I not wear it?" Under Zhou Ning's indifferent gaze, Richie Burke's voice gradually became smaller. He resignedly reached out and grabbed the black clothes and took off his pants.
A few minutes later, he put on the black combat suit. His muscles stretched the tights so tight that Richie Burke couldn't help feeling inexplicably ashamed.
not bad.
Zhou Ning nodded, took his hat off the coat rack, took down his cane, and walked out of the room.
It was exactly a quarter past 12. Zhou Ning realized that there was no one around, so he reached out and picked up Richie Burke. He stepped on the wall with his left foot, climbed over the wall, and quickly climbed to the roof. Then, with his black windbreaker fluttering, he shot into the air with a Moon Step, as if he was walking on the moon.
After a while, he landed smoothly on the roof and ran at full speed on the roof. The Richie Burke mask with an exposed mouth in his hand was wide open, filled with wind, and saliva was flying in the wind. Even the black serrated cloak was disobedient and wrapped around his head, making it look messy in the wind.
Zhou Ning made a disdainful "tsk" sound and slowed down a little.
This area is full of private residences and the ground is uneven, but Zhou Ning, carrying a person, walked as if it were flat ground. It didn't take long before he arrived at the edge of District 7 and District 9. As long as he crossed it, he could reach District 12.
In front of him was a canal that crossed Nathaniel, and not far away was a huge billboard of the [Sifalik Motley Islands Development Co., Ltd.]. Zhou Ning stretched his body, took another moon step into the air, stepped on the top of the billboard, and easily crossed a distance of about 30 meters wide. He landed silently on the roof opposite and ran towards the deeper part of District 9.
Not long after, Zhou Ning arrived at his destination, a high-rise building near 79 Tanner Street. He put down Richie Burke, who was foaming at the mouth, and looked down from his high vantage point.
Number 79 Tanner Street was a low bungalow with no lights on at that time. Zhou Ning felt a lot of strong and weak auras around him. It was just as Richie Burke said, this was a situation where one move could affect the whole body.
After Richie Burke recovered a little, Zhou Ning took him to the nearby wall.
"Put your right hand on the ground and half-kneel on the wall. Keep your back straight and get into position. Don't move. I'll be right back."
Richie Burke's style had turned gray. Zhou Ning had him strike Batman's classic pose on the wall, attracting a lot of attention, while he himself descended silently, holding his hat and walking towards the bungalow opposite.
