ตอน 184: Templars
"Assassin's League?" Jack frowned, "Do you really measure up?"
Duka scrutinized Jack, his eyes revealing depth. "Who are you? If you're also an assassin, you should understand our mission..."
"I am not an assassin, but I know that your actions have strayed from the spirit of assassins. You should be part of the Assassin Brotherhood, not the Assassin's League." Jack squinted slightly, "As for who I am?"
"Wherever rules are broken, knights will emerge!"
In Jack's memory, the Assassin's League, to which Duka belonged, had similarities to the Assassin's Brotherhood. Jack had speculated before that the Assassin's League might exist in this world under a different name due to certain reasons.
Because the goals of the Assassin's League shared some similarities with the Assassin Brotherhood, the only distinction lay in their methods. A true assassin focused on eliminating leaders and wouldn't resort to indiscriminate city slaughter. Those who took such drastic measures were unparalleled assassins, distinct from traditional ones.
When Duka mentioned Assassin's Creed, Jack's suspicions were confirmed.
It seems so! In that case, the Templars likely exist too?
With this in mind, Jack casually slipped in a mention of the Templar Knignts. He always didn't mind adding a bit more information that could mislead the enemy—even if it was someone dying or posing no threat.
All in the name of deceptive habits.
"You are..." Duka's eyes suddenly widened.
Jack delivered a punch, rendering Duka unconscious on the ground. His head made a sharp impact with the marble floor tiles, creating a crisp sound.
Jack nodded satisfactorily. "Come on, Bruce, let's go shopping. I'll leave the rest of the work here to you."
With that, Jack turned around, glancing at the still trembling rich and powerful individuals, then walked out with Selina.
Originally, if it weren't for Bruce's prior commitment, Jack might have put a halt to these affluent individuals seeking favors.
But...
With a 10% stake in Wayne Group, did he really need to worry about scraping together experience points in the [Police] profession anymore?
He couldn't care less about those meager sums of money now!
So, being the pragmatist he was, Jack whisked Selina away directly. Under the guise of a shopping spree, he led Selina on an extensive tour of Wayne Manor, methodically dismantling bugs along the way.
Of course, a bit of charm never hurt anyone.
Everything unfolded just as Jack had meticulously planned.

Meanwhile, in Gotham City Assassin's, growing impatient with Duca's silence, took matters into their own hands and activated the "Poison Gas Tram".
Essentially, this involved affixing a microwave weapon onto a tram and setting it in motion. As the tram traversed the city, the microwave device would vaporize water in underground pipes, causing any residual fear gas to convert into a gaseous state and be inhaled by unsuspecting citizens.
Subsequently, as the fear-stricken citizens began to cause disturbances, albeit without fatalities, a pre-set mechanism on the tram tracks automatically triggered, dispersing the antidote. Like magic, it neutralized the effects of the fear toxin, bringing relief to all affected individuals.
The tram came to a halt according to the pre-programmed instructions. Commissioner Gordon, leading a heavily armed police force, swiftly apprehended the Shadow Warriors and deactivated the microwave weapons. Meanwhile, the police chief, who had been complicit with Falconi, was left to count his ill-gotten gains at home.
With the completion of all action plans, it was time to reap the rewards of their efforts.
The following day, headlines blared across Gotham City: "Mysterious Organization Foiled in Attempted Chemical Attack!" The article praised the efforts of Batman, Officers Jack and Gordon, Bruce Wayne, and the new president of Wayne Group, Mr. Fox, for their roles in saving the city.
The day was won, and Gotham City could breathe a sigh of relief.
