The situation was now obvious.
Copperhead knew Roman Sionis was crazy, but she didn't expect him to be THIS crazy!
He actually wanted to deal with Mr. Samuel?
Heavens?!
Doesn't he know that Mr. Samuel dared to go on a killing spree in a place like Dream Prison, killing so many criminals, not to mention even Amanda Waller was killed by him?
He actually still dared to offend, no, dared to deal with Mr. Samuel?
Uh, okay, he really doesn't seem to know, but Copperhead admires his courage!
If it were before, Copperhead really wouldn't necessarily dare to attack Roman Sionis.
Although she was a professional assassin, Roman Sionis was rich and powerful.
If she offended him, all the criminals and assassins in Gotham would hunt her down.
But now, with Mr. Samuel as her backer, what is she afraid of?!
Copperhead, who was just worried about not having a chance to show off to Mr. Samuel, snorted coldly and kicked Roman Sionis.
"Wuwu!"
Roman Sionis immediately let out a scream, his body bent, his legs squeezed together, and his expression twisted as he was about to kneel.
Copperhead grabbed Roman Sionis's hair with one hand, and with the other hand, she swept her waist, and a sharp dagger was instantly placed against his neck.
"Put down your guns, be careful my hand shakes."
Mr. Zsasz stared coldly at Copperhead: "You're dead, I'll make sure You die very painfully!"
"You can try."
In a simple one-on-one, let alone Mr. Zsasz, she wouldn't even fear Batman.
Uh, it's just a shame she can't beat Batman.
Mr. Zsasz slowly lowered his gun, the other two followed suit, and then kicked their guns away.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Mr. Samuel, this is a misunderstanding!" Roman Sionis endured the pain and shouted to Mr. Samuel.
Mr. Samuel waved his hand at Copperhead.
Copperhead hesitated, wanting to remind him not to believe this guy's words so easily, but thinking of his ability and her fear of him, Copperhead still released Roman Sionis.
Mr. Samuel looked calmly at Roman Sionis and said, "Get in there."
"What? You, You're telling me—" Roman Sionis hadn't finished speaking when his body suddenly rolled forward uncontrollably.
One roll, one roll, one roll.
...
Copperhead and Mr. Zsasz were dumbfounded.
Roman Sionis was too obedient, wasn't he?
He actually started rolling!
"You go, bring that female singer over."
Mr. Samuel casually pointed at a henchman beside Mr. Zsasz.
The henchman's expression froze slightly, then he ran out in terror to find the female singer.
Mr. Zsasz realized something was wrong, and then he heard Mr. Samuel say to him: "Move a sofa over."
Mr. Zsasz involuntarily turned around to move the sofa.
Mr. Samuel walked into the room.
Rather than a room, it was more like a spacious storage room.
There weren't many things inside, the most noticeable being the ropes and hooks hanging in the middle of the room.
Although the windows were open, the room was still filled with a somewhat nauseating smell of blood.
It looks like this should be a torture chamber!
The place Roman Sionis specifically used to kill people and cut off faces!
Mr. Samuel walked over to the sofa that Mr. Zsasz had moved and sat down.
This was a single-seater sofa.
After sitting down, he waved his hand at Mr. Zsasz: "Hang them up!"
Mr. Zsasz involuntarily hung Roman Sionis and another henchman upside down.
He was very familiar with this task!
In the past, he was the one responsible for hanging people and cutting off faces.
Roman Sionis and that henchman were terrified, but they couldn't do anything.
They could only hang there quietly, motionless.
"Bang."
The door opened, and a henchman came in with the nervous and uneasy female singer.
As soon as she came in, the female singer was stunned!
Mr. Samuel waved his hand, signaling Mr. Zsasz to hang this henchman up as well, and then beckoned to the female singer who looked anxious and terrified.
The female singer trembled as she came before Mr. Samuel, glanced at the quietly hanging Roman Sionis and Mr. Zsasz standing nearby, and cautiously spoke with fear and confusion.
"This, this sir, do, do You have any instructions?"
"What's Your name?" Mr. Samuel asked knowingly, looking her up and down.
"Dinah Lance, my name is Dinah Lance, sir."
Dinah Lance, codenamed Black Canary, possessed sonic abilities from birth.
Originally, this was a very sexy and beautiful character, the official pairing of Green Arrow in the comics, and a founding member of the Birds of Prey.
But, what was most impressive was Laurel Lance from Earth-1, that face, that figure!
And Black Siren, the Earth-2 counterpart to Black Canary, both were top-notch!
To take a step back, the Black Canary in Earth-203 was also quite 'moist'.
But in this World, the Black Canary before him, Mr. Samuel could only describe her with four words.
Hard to describe!
This 'hard to describe' doesn't mean completely bad, but rather neither good nor bad, somewhere in between!
You say she's ugly?
With her little hairstyle, little nose ring, and smoky eye makeup, she has some character and presence.
Although she's a bit short, her figure is indeed decent.
But You say she's beautiful?
Her facial features and appearance were slightly lacking, and her skin tone was a bit lighter than Copperhead's, but only a tiny bit!
Other Black Canaries were all very fair-skinned, but she was more realistic, because the 'Black' in Black Canary refers to skin tone.
"Do you know why I called you here?"
"No, I don't."
Samuel chuckled, pointing at Roman Sionis: "I told him to call you over to have a drink with me, but he refused. Not only did he refuse, he even wanted to kill me and cut off my face to make a specimen to use as a coaster. Tell me—"
"What should I do now?"
Dinah Lance was bewildered. Working here, she naturally knew Roman Sionis wasn't a good person, and the man in front of her was probably not someone to be trifled with either. But what did this have to do with her? This was completely undeserved trouble!
Regardless of whether it was related to her or not, the situation seemed to have started because of her. It was impossible to stay out of it.
"I, I'll have a few more drinks with you?" Dinah Lance tentatively suggested.
Samuel smiled brightly: "Okay, but that's not enough! For your own good, how about changing jobs?"
Dinah Lance hesitated and asked, "Change, change jobs to where?"
"Arkham Asylum!"
Dinah Lance: ...
"Can I refuse?"
Samuel said indifferently, "He refused me, are you going to refuse me too?"
"If I refuse you, will I also be hung up?" Dinah Lance thought to herself, while shaking her head in panic on the surface: "No, no, I, I agree!"
"Then let's go!"
Samuel smiled and got up, putting his arm around Dinah Lance's shoulder and walking out.
Copperhead and Firehawk followed. Copperhead asked in a low voice, "What about them? Should I—"
"Zsasz will handle it."
"Oh."
Samuel, with his arm around Dinah Lance, who was still in her performance outfit, left the Black Mask Club with Copperhead and Firehawk.
Half an hour later, someone at the Black Mask Club called the police and an ambulance.
Before dark, news had already spread throughout Gotham's underworld that Mr. Zsasz, Roman Sionis's most loyal subordinate, had betrayed him. Not only did he kill two henchmen, but he also cut off Roman Sionis's face and sewed on a layer of Black Mask.
Well, now Roman Sionis had truly become the Black Mask!
Mr. Zsasz's skills were very proficient. Although Roman Sionis had his skin replaced by him, he didn't die. From now on, he would likely have to show himself wearing the Black Mask.
However, it wasn't all bad news for Roman Sionis, because Mr. Zsasz confessed all the crimes he had committed over the years to the police.
If nothing unexpected happened, Roman Sionis and Mr. Zsasz would eventually be sent to Arkham Asylum for imprisonment.
A single slip can lead to eternal regret. Who knows what Roman Sionis's mood will be like then!
Samuel's mood, on the other hand, was very good. The Birds of Prey gained another member, and Dinah Lance's sonic ability was also randomly unlocked.
At the same time, Nightshade's negotiations with Dream Prison, or rather ARGUS, also yielded results. The people taken to Arkham Asylum had their relationships transferred from Dream Prison.
As for the riot that happened in Dream Prison and the death of Amanda Waller, well—it was all done by the Joker!
The Joker did this to escape from prison, and he succeeded!
This result was quite absurd!
But Samuel didn't care whether it was absurd or not. It wasn't that he was confident that ARGUS would definitely back down, but rather that he simply didn't care.
If they didn't back down, then they could continue. His three major legions were all idle!
"Did they not mention any additional conditions?" Samuel casually asked Nightshade...
Nightshade shook her head: "No additional conditions, but Firehawk's Father called, hoping that Firehawk could be treated well. Also—General Swanwick wants to meet."
"General Swanwick?"
ARGUS didn't have as much power and presence as S.H.I.E.L.D. next door, so Samuel wasn't familiar with ARGUS's high-ranking officials. However, the fact that this General Swanwick could meet him through ARGUS's channels indicated that he should also be a member.
Moreover, his name also made Samuel feel a bit familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere!
There weren't many Generals in the DC World that made him feel familiar. With a turn of thought, Samuel vaguely guessed who it was.
The seven commonly known members of the Justice League now are: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, and Cyborg.
Cyborg was a later addition. Before he took his place, Martian Manhunter was one of the seven members of the Justice League!
This General Swanwick was precisely the Martian Manhunter who was squeezed out of the seven members' position by Cyborg!
Martian Manhunter had many abilities, and they were very strong. His special physique allowed him to change shape, mass, and color at will, and he could even simulate various clothing.
Simply put, he could shapeshift!
At the same time, he also possessed very powerful basic abilities such as Super Strength, Super Speed, Super Senses, Super Endurance, Super Defense, and Super Immunity.
He possessed Regeneration, Flight, Invisibility, Intangibility, Possession, Super Breath, Super Vision (Telescopic, Microscopic, Infrared, Electromagnetic Spectrum, X-Ray), Hot Ray, Mind Control (Illusion, Hypnosis, Mental Shield, Thought Scan, Information Download, Thought Transfer, Thought Link, Mental Blast, Mind Control, Mind Wipe).
And the ability that Martians were most proud of: Maya Wana!
This ability could only be used once in a lifetime and could create an imaginary World in another person's mind, but the feeling was as real as reality!
Martian Manhunter possessed dozens of abilities in total, truly a major ability user!
Meet! Definitely meet!
"Tell him I'll go find him tomorrow!"
"Also—"
"An intruder, a little Huntress, came to Arkham. She was quite unlucky. As soon as she came in, she ran into Joan Myu-Eun who was taking a stroll, and was dealt with by the Witch she called out. Bring her over, don't let her die."
