Although Li Chengfeng had a calm and composed expression, he was actually quite shocked inside.
Why was Iron Man here of all people?
When he had requested reinforcements from Fury via his personal terminal, he had indeed asked for someone with strong combat capabilities, otherwise, a few hundred people wouldn't be enough to handle.
But wasn't this combat power a bit too much?
He hadn't intended to demolish Arkham Asylum!
"Tony Stark! Why are you here!?"
Laughing Gas's eyes widened involuntarily.
A Batman who hadn't prepared for battle was still within acceptable limits, but now there was also a playboy who could control a flying mech... This wasn't good at all.
Laughing Gas glared hatefully at Li Chengfeng, who had a smug look on his face. From the looks of it, Iron Man must be the reinforcement this FBI Agent had called.
"Damn it... Retreat!"
"Hmph, trying to escape? Do you think Arkham Asylum is a place you can just come and go as you please? Or do you think our FBI will just let a violent group of several hundred people leave?" Li Chengfeng showed a smile as bright as sunshine, "Mr. Stark, feel free to do your thing. Just incapacitate the main Joker Gang forces outside. Of course, if you use heavy force, I won't hold you accountable."
"I'm not some kind of serial killer..."
Tony Stark looked at the young Republic Agent and mumbled as he flew out.
Since he was here to assist, he would naturally follow orders.
A few hundred armed thugs were simple for him.
Now, the tables had turned.
Li Chengfeng and Batman didn't hesitate at all, charging into the crowd like tigers entering a flock of sheep.
Hot on their heels was Harley Quinn. She ignored the Joker Gang members who were brandishing weapons at her, deftly dodging their attacks, and went straight after Laughing Gas, who had already started to flee.
Although she had broken up with Joker, she felt disgusted by the woman who had replaced her.
Two shots hit the doorknob, forcing Laughing Gas to turn around and face her.
"Harley Quinn, it seems you still can't forget Mr. J."
"Whether I'm obsessed with Joker or not isn't important. What's important is that no one can be my replacement."
Harley Quinn displayed an inappropriately cute smile, which formed a huge contrast with the large pistol in her hand.
Just as she was about to pounce and teach this little bitch who had taken her place a lesson, she felt a pair of hands yank her back by the collar of her shirt.
"Don't stop me!"
"Nonsense! Why would you put down your pistol and charge into close combat with someone holding a dagger? What kind of delusional move is that?"
After Li Chengfeng pulled her back, he pushed her behind him.
In the chaotic brawl that had just occurred, more than half of the dozens of Joker Gang members in the hall were already lying on the ground, groaning in pain.
And Ada hadn't even made a move, merely standing guard at the back, watching Batman make short work of them.
"Ms. Laughing Gas, I highly recommend you surrender. After all, I'm not Batman; I don't have a no-kill rule. If a criminal like you, with various serious charges, resists, I will choose to shoot to kill directly. Believe me, I won't hesitate."
Batman quickly dealt with the last few individuals, and then, accompanied by the explosions and screams outside, the hall fell silent, making people shiver.
"I surrender."
Laughing Gas grimaced, but found she couldn't quite smile.
Especially when she was being stared down by Batman.
In just a few minutes, they went from having the advantage to being completely wiped out... When the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) field team members and Gotham Police Department officers found Jack Lawson's kidnapped son at an abandoned factory in southern Gotham, they immediately rushed to Arkham Asylum.
James Gordon, as the highest Commander of Gotham Police Department's field operations, led the group through the asylum gates and was utterly bewildered by the scene before him, his initial worry instantly turning to shock.
Aside from the Joker Gang members strewn across the floor, the most conspicuous sights were the man in the Iron Man Suit and Batman.
Before he could speak, a hand clapped him on the shoulder. He turned his head and saw an ID badge held before his eyes.
"World Federal Investigation Bureau Level Seven Agent, Li Chengfeng?"
"That's right. The joint search and rescue mission for your Gotham Police Department and the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) field team was issued by me."
"So, you dealt with Joker and his Joker Gang?"
"What? Don't you trust me?" Li Chengfeng chuckled. Even in a different World, it was the same; the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) and local law enforcement agencies generally had an average relationship. "Even if you don't trust the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation), you should trust that Bat, right?"
He pointed over his shoulder at Batman, who was chatting happily with Tony Stark, who had removed his helmet.
Gordon smacked his lips and looked at the excessively young Level Seven Agent again.
As a seasoned Detective, and currently the de facto head of the Gotham Police Department, with becoming Director only a matter of time, he understood the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation)'s hierarchical structure much better than ordinary Detectives.
It was perfectly acceptable for a Level Seven Agent to command the Gotham Police Department across units.
He waved his hand, signaling the Gotham Police Department officers to start working, arresting all the incapacitated thugs lying on the ground.
They didn't even need to be transported to the Police station; they could be directly confined in Arkham Asylum nearby, which was much better than a detention center.
"And this person." Seeing the officers begin to move, Li Chengfeng grabbed the trembling informant, Jack Lawson, from the side. "The Joker Gang members can be locked up in Arkham Asylum, but this guy doesn't need to be confined with these lunatics."
"But he won't be able to continue as Vice Dean... Wait, is that Harley Quinn?"
Gordon's heart sank, and he instinctively reached for his pistol again.
"Harley Quinn was originally a probationary FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) Agent, and she has now recovered. I am under orders to pick her up from the hospital and reinstate her."
Recovered!?
You really dare to say that!
Gordon wiped a cold sweat, glancing at Harley Quinn, who still clearly seemed a bit insane.
Then he cuffed the fat informant's hands behind his back and escorted him to a Police car to be taken away.
He still felt it was better to leave this place quickly.
If he stayed with these people any longer, he always felt he would become strange.
He wasn't interested in these odd tight suits.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Stark. Shouldn't you be in New York? How did you get to Arkham so quickly?"
"It seems you are Agent Li Chengfeng, whom Fury always talks about. It's a pleasure to meet you." Tony Stark was quite unpretentious. "It's just that I've been in Metropolis recently, which is why I was able to get here so fast."
It was well known that Metropolis and Gotham were separated by only a river.
But why did he go to Metropolis... A puzzled Li Chengfeng suddenly remembered the tabloid news he had seen earlier.
"You didn't go to Metropolis just to hit on Lois Lane, did you?"
"After all, Ms. Lane is the first woman who hasn't been swayed by me, making her exceptionally unique."
"Mr. Stark, are you an Overbearing CEO Type who jumped out of some ancient novel? Oh, right, you actually are an Overbearing CEO Type." Li Chengfeng rubbed his forehead. "But has no one told you that your words just now were very cheesy?"
"Yes, Ms. Lane said the same thing." Tony Stark laughed heartily, a bit carelessly, then extended his right hand to Li Chengfeng, "Just call me Tony from now on."
