章 2220: Side Story: Fantasy Journey 61

After a brief silence, Master Wayne explained, "… You know the barb on a fish hook, right?"

Victor said, "Yes."

Master Wayne said, "The Joker's plan is the fish hook. Even if the fish can struggle and break free, it's at the price of its flesh being ripped open; it's impossible for it to escape unharmed."

As he spoke, he looked around at Gotham. "Does it look like I'm in that bad a state right now?"

Victor said, "Got it. I'll increase surveillance of important locations in Gotham right away."

Master Wayne nodded and raised his fists. Sensing that his youthful body was still full of energy, he looked at the thugs who were slowly retreating.

He smiled. "There's nothing to be gained from beating you up, but… it won't take much effort anyway."

The thugs here were far more of a threat to the safety of ordinary people than the looters.
