Chapter 17 - I won the bet

Selina looked at the flames rising in the distance. After a brief moment of surprise, she said, "You already knew something like this would happen."

Hearing the slightly aggrieved tone in Selina's voice, Jin raised his hand in a playful French military salute and smiled faintly.

"That's really unfair," he said. "To be honest, I didn't know this would happen."

And it was true. Who could have predicted that an explosion would occur just a second later?

"Alright, I should get going."

Jin stood up, straightened his trench coat, and said to Selina, "Until next time, ma'am."

After speaking, he walked toward the direction of the explosion in the square, leaving behind only a calm and confident silhouette.

Selina watched his departing figure and smiled charmingly. A faint light flickered in her eyes, though no one knew what she was thinking.

When Jin arrived at the scene of the explosion, he immediately saw Firefly flying in the air with jet equipment attached to his back, continuously spraying flames toward the ground.

"Hahaha! I'm going to burn Gotham City to ashes!"

Hearing those words, Jin couldn't help but complain silently.

Where did this guy come from—Johnny Silverhand?

Suddenly—

"Puff!"

A strange sound, like a smoke bomb releasing gas, reached Jin's ears.

Following the sound, Jin saw another villain holding a crude pistol connected to a pipe behind him.

It was Killer Moth.

Cloudy smoke spread through the air and was inhaled by nearby pedestrians. Soon, those innocent people began to bleed and develop severe wounds across their bodies.

"Two villains at the same time."

Jin narrowed his eyes.

Someone had clearly organized several supervillains to cause chaos. And nine times out of ten, the mastermind was the Joker who had escaped not long ago.

Suddenly, Jin sensed danger.

He instantly moved three meters backward.

A stream of highly corrosive acid shot past where he had just been standing and splashed onto a nearby street lamp.

The metal pole was instantly corroded, collapsing to the ground with a loud bang.

"Oh? You dodged it," Killer Moth said in annoyance.

Jin's expression turned cold.

He hadn't expected someone to be so eager to die.

Slowly, he raised his guns.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two precise shots struck Killer Moth's legs.

"Ahhh!"

Killer Moth immediately lost his balance and fell to the ground.

He preferred sending them straight to hell.

At that moment, Killer Moth's screams caught Firefly's attention.

Seeing a new target, Firefly immediately flew toward Jin.

"Sigh… another one who wants to die."

Jin calmly raised White Ivory and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

『Headshot Blow』

The bullet pierced through Firefly's helmet and struck him directly in the head.

Firefly instantly lost control and fell from the sky, crashing heavily onto the ground.

unconscious

After dealing with Firefly, Jin slowly turned toward Killer Moth, who was now kneeling on the ground.

Seeing Jin approaching, Killer Moth's entire body trembled.

He desperately began knocking his head against the ground.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry, big brother! I won't dare to do it again!"

Jin looked at him indifferently.

He placed the muzzle of Ebony against Killer Moth's head.

"Say that to the ghosts in prison"

"Bang!"

"Plop."

The body collapsed 

The moment the shot rang out, Jin suddenly rolled to the side and hid behind a fountain.

"It seems there's a sniper."

At the same time, on a distant rooftop, Deadshot lay on the ground with his sniper rifle aimed at Jin.

He felt no emotion regarding the deaths of Firefly and Killer Moth.

If anything, he was pleased.

After all, fewer partners meant a bigger share of the money.

"Hmph. Looks like another walking bag of cash."

"Let's see how long you can keep hiding."

Through his scope, the fountain where Jin had taken cover remained perfectly in sight.

Meanwhile, system notifications appeared in Jin's mind.

[Sign-in with Firefly successful. Reward: Super Energy.]

[Super Energy: Greatly increases the maximum energy capacity and recovery speed.]

[Sign-in with Killer Moth successful. Reward: Super Stamina.]

[Super Stamina: Greatly increases stamina capacity and recovery speed.]

Jin couldn't help but smile.

These two "insect brothers" had just given him powerful buffs for both energy and stamina.

"Now it's time to deal with the guy upstairs."

He took a deep breath.

"Three… two… one… run!"

Jin suddenly dashed forward like a ghost.

Deadshot immediately aimed and fired.

For a master marksman like him, Jin's running speed shouldn't have mattered.

But—

"Bang!"

Jin's sharp eyes caught the brief flash from the sniper rifle.

In that instant, he raised White Ivory.

『Remote Block』

The bullet struck the gun and was deflected.

Sparks exploded as metal collided.

The brief flash illuminated Jin's confident and fearless eyes in the darkness.

"What the—?!"

Deadshot was completely stunned.

Who could have imagined someone actually blocking a sniper bullet?

This was practically cheating.

By the time he recovered and tried to aim again, Jin had already rushed into the nearby parking building.

Deadshot fell silent for a moment.

"...Damn it."

He cursed under his breath, then grabbed his rifle and left the rooftop.
