"Batman, that green bastard just now, do you know who it is?"
Seeing Batman lost in thought, George Stacy, in his role as the police commissioner, couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know. I'll leave this to you!"
Anton shook his head, looking back at the NYPD officers, and then vanished into the darkness.
Night.
A high-end apartment in Manhattan.
The violently shaking bed finally settled.
The beauty beside Eddie was fast asleep, and he felt utterly drained, ready to collapse with exhaustion, when his eyes snapped open.
"Don't sleep!"
A deep voice exploded in his head.
"Venom!"
He was annoyed. "What are you yelling about? I want to sleep!"
"Anton is outside!"
Venom said this.
"What?"
Eddie was suddenly panicked, and quickly got up, put on his clothes, and opened the door.
Anton stood at the door, looking at him with a half-smile.
"Dude, you know I don't like men, right?"
Eddie's expression was strange: "You coming here at this time makes it easy for me to have...unusual thoughts."
"You said at the bar that the Foot Clan previously stole chemicals from the Brooklyn Port docks, from Oscorp..."
Anton didn't bother joking with Eddie, his expression turning serious, and he said in a serious tone: "Do you know why the Foot Clan wanted to steal this shipment? What experiment was Oscorp using this shipment of chemicals for?"
"Uh, I don't know."
Eddie shook his head, noticing something was off with Anton. He paused, then asked, "What's wrong? You seem… different."
"Just a scratch."
Anton waved a hand, saying, "Ran into a tough customer at Brooklyn Port. Eddie, things are about to get a lot more interesting in New York."
"Seriously?"
Eddie was taken aback.
In the few months he'd known Anton, he'd never heard him speak like that.
"What happened, exactly?"
Eddie pressed, "Who could even hurt you?"
"An old guy who likes to ride a skateboard and wears green armor is causing trouble!"
Anton explained, glancing around the room, realizing he'd arrived at a bad time. He instructed, "Since you don't know about Oscorp, remember to bring April to the Daily Bugle tomorrow. I have some questions for her."
"Understood."
Eddie nodded, watching Anton leave with a furrowed brow.
From Anton's demeanor, he could tell things were serious.
When facing the Life Foundation and Kingpin, Anton had always been confident, never showing such a grave expression. What exactly had Anton encountered at the docks?
Puzzled, Eddie turned and went back to his room to sleep.
For a man who was overly exhausted, nothing beat a good night's sleep, no matter how troubling the situation.
Back home, Anton took off his shirt, and the bruise on his right chest was very conspicuous.
Damn it, that really hurt!
His lips twitched, and he felt that any movement would pull on the muscles in his chest. He probably wouldn't be able to sleep well!
Anton applied some medicine to his body.
Then he put on his pajamas and recalled the simple moves he'd encountered when he met the Green Goblin at the docks.
I didn't expect this guy to show up at this time!
Thinking about the opponent he'd faced this time, not only did Anton's chest hurt, but his head started to ache.
Flying Knives! ...
Flying Skateboard!
Pumpkin Bombs!
The Green Goblin's standard three-piece set.
It looks simple, but each element boasts incredibly advanced technology. The Pumpkin Bombs, in particular, are easy to carry and incredibly powerful.
If the Green Goblin had tossed a few more Pumpkin Bombs before leaving, Anton wouldn't have dared to step in and help the police.
To be honest, since the emergence of Iron Man, the amount of black technology has been increasing. It's almost starting to feel detached from this era.
Oscorp and Stark Industries are both exceptional companies, and although their development focuses differ, their technological levels are comparable.
Considering this, compared to Norman's Oscorp, Anton's current Rabbit Armor is already starting to lag behind the changes of the world.
Not to mention, Tony Stark's Mark III and Mark IV armors would be appearing soon...
Even though he didn't want to admit it, he had to: the Iron Man armor was more mobile and powerful than the Rabbit Armor!
Furthermore, when Tony became Iron Man, his wealth and intelligence combined to produce a result greater than the sum of its parts.
His speed of developing new armors was much faster than Anton's rate of exchanging for heroes or armors.
Anton pondered for a moment, then looked at the Justice Points in his system space.
The balance was 13 million.
Then he looked at the several tiers of Batman's special armors within the system space.
Gritting his teeth, the Justice Points he'd saved up recently could buy a pretty good armor.
Definitely stronger than the Rabbit Armor.
Honestly, if I don't buy it, I'll be falling behind the times.
It's good that I have the Cyborg persona now.
The problem is, Cyborg won't be available for at least another week. Gathering the 20 million Justice Points needed for Cyborg is another considerable period.
During this period, Anton can't guarantee that the Green Goblin and the Foot Clan won't cause any trouble.
If something really does happen, and Anton, as Batman, uses the Rabbit Armor to fight, it's hard to turn the tide.
If it can't play a decisive role, Batman's appearance is meaningless.
Furthermore, based on how time progresses, this world will face more crises.
Just like the Hulk incident that followed Iron Man!
The Hulk and Abomination's battle! That was a real fight between monsters.
Whether it's now or later, if Batman, with this identity, needs to participate, or even appear as the leader, the first thing he needs is strength.
Strength means fists.
If your fists are hard enough, people will listen to you.
Because, only if your fists are hard enough, these people will have to listen even if they don't want to.
"Arkham Knight Armor, 10 million Justice Points!"
Anton checked the system panel.
This Arkham Knight Armor was the most expensive suit of armor he could currently afford.
After buying it, he'd still have 3 million Justice Points left.
Suddenly, he was quite tempted.
Of course, what attracted him most wasn't the price, or even the actual data of the armor, but its appearance.
It was far more appealing than those two rabbit ears!
"Bought!"
Anton gritted his teeth and confirmed the purchase. A brand-new suit of armor instantly materialized on his body, a cape billowing behind him.
The surface of the Arkham Armor was mainly composed of black and gray.
The most eye-catching feature was probably the golden belt around his waist.
In addition, this Arkham Knight Armor had triple-layered armor, with a layer of titanium-infused armor covering the liquid protection inside.
The liquid system was primarily composed of Wayne Tech's MR Liquid, which reacted automatically upon impact, becoming harder and absorbing the impact. This allowed for more force to be released in a counterattack, creating more opportunities to effectively strike the enemy.
This was reflected in shock absorption, mainly in terms of defensive performance.
At the same time, in terms of the mobility that Anton desperately needed, the liquid armor also increased the flexibility of the ceramics or fibers, allowing the user to become more agile and have greater maneuverability.
The Arkham Knight Armor could even be combined with the Batmobile, compatible with the Batmobile's electromagnetic ejection system.
When Batman appeared later, he could fly out like a bullet fired from a railgun.
Including the armor's bounce air bags, and the design of the Batclaw grappling gun mounted on the arm, all made aerial combat possible.
Anton looked in the mirror, striking a few poses, and beamed with joy.
He instantly cast aside his previous miserly thoughts.
It was worth it!
