Harvey Bullock glared at Gordon.
He hated being underestimated by others, especially when the other person was his old friend.
"Then let's go!"
Gordon turned and walked towards the parading crowd.
Before turning around, he casually took Harvey Bullock's blood-stained police badge from his pocket.
"You don't need this thing anymore."
Gordon took the police badge from Harvey Bullock's pocket.
"So, do you have a plan, Chief?"
Harvey Bullock watched the other person take his police badge, Stunned for a moment, then quickly caught up with the other person's pace.
"A plan? Not yet, but no matter what, we are still the police of this city!"
The parading crowd had already gathered in the square in front of Gotham City Hall.
Amy and Clark also followed the crowd and arrived at the noisy square.
They stood on the periphery of the crowd and did not go deep inside.
"I repeat, please return to your homes or workplaces, otherwise, we will take coercive action against you!"
The spokesman for the Gotham City Government, a middle-aged man, stood in front of Gotham City Hall and shouted to the crowd, "Last repeat, such parades and gatherings are not allowed! You have already violated the laws enacted for Gotham by the President! If you do not return, you will be forcibly detained and charged with other crimes! We do not rule out taking violent action against you!"
Standing behind the Gotham City Government spokesman were fully armed enhanced soldiers.
Batons, shields, and even expulsion rounds were ready to attack the parading crowd at any time.
But the parading crowd was not intimidated by the enhanced soldiers in front of them.
The citizens held up signs and booed the Gotham City Government!
Many people even prepared to charge at the enhanced soldiers.
"What should we do, Chief?"
Harvey Bullock, whose head was wrapped like a mummy, looked at the agitated parading citizens and asked Gordon.
"I am not a Gotham City Government official, and I have no way to deal with this behavior."
Gordon spat out the cigarette in his mouth and said unhurriedly.
"All I can ensure is that this demonstration does not escalate into violence."
Gordon glanced at the dense crowd of enhanced soldiers and said, "Besides, these people no longer consider us the law enforcers in this city; they don't need us."
Harvey Bullock nodded, "It's still that smoggy city, but there's no longer Batman, no true law enforcers. So, when will it usher in its bright moment again?"
"Bright moment?"
Gordon glanced at Harvey Bullock, took a puff of his cigarette, and said nothing more.
"Sometimes, the pursuit of justice is not even as effective as a small energy-saving lamp."
Harvey Bullock put down his cigar and continued, "The night before last, I saw the Bat-Signal. This city still has people waiting for its law enforcer—Batman, although I don't think he'll be of much use."
"Sorry, Chief, I got off topic. Back to business, I don't think this parade will be that simple."
"Of course."
Gordon nodded, agreeing with Harvey Bullock.
"No matter who is organizing this behind the scenes, I think his goal is the man behind these soldiers. It won't be long before the people hiding in the dark reveal their true intentions. The darkness of this city is far more complex than we imagine."
Gordon took a puff of his cigarette, his tone flat.
Among the parading crowd, a leader stepped forward.
He wore a golden-yellow uniform with a circular energy ring on his chest.
Golden light emanated from the energy ring, demonstrating great power.
The Golden-haired young man, with golden hair, was one of the leaders of this parade and also a metahuman.
"Drive us away? That's not going to happen. Do you think that just because you are Gotham City Government officials and hold supreme power, you can stand above us and give us orders? Point fingers at us? No, you are wrong. We pursue our own rights, and no one can stop us!"
As the Golden-haired young man spoke, he slowly flew into the air.
His body emanated a strong golden starlight, and he stood in the air like a god.
He spread his arms, gathering all his energy into the circular energy ring on his chest.
"I'm very sorry, but I have the right to represent my city in protest!"
He let out a deafening sound in the air.
"As for you soldiers, I must demand that you return to your hometowns!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful beam of light shot from his chest, aimed at the enhanced soldiers in front of Gotham City Hall.
The powerful, destructively lethal energy beam slammed into the soldiers.
Boom!
The attacked soldiers were instantly blown away by this energy.
The explosion instantly incapacitated many enhanced soldiers!
Fortunately, the enhanced soldiers' physiques were different from ordinary people, and with the protection of their armor, they did not die directly.
A huge roar sounded, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
Smoke and dust quickly swept over the enhanced soldiers in front of the entire building.
Suddenly receiving such an attack, the enhanced soldiers did not panic and immediately organized a counterattack.
But the superhero who could fire energy beams from his chest had absolute power suppression against these enhanced soldiers.
Through continuous energy impacts, he completely suppressed the enhanced soldiers into a disadvantage.
Countless strong light beam energy waves whistled sharply in the air, hitting the ground and instantly creating craters.
The nearby ground, shaken by the impact, produced countless cracks that spread to the surroundings.
Countless dust was flung into the air!
The aftermath of the battle between the two sides shocked the surrounding crowd, causing them to constantly retreat.
"So, so powerful!"
Amy, standing behind the crowd, exclaimed as she watched the superhero firing energy from his chest.
But Clark did not comment on the leader of the parading crowd like Amy.
Instead, he frowned.
"No! We have to stop him, Amy!"
Clark said to Amy.
"Huh? Why?"
Amy asked, not understanding.
She had originally thought Clark would help these protesting crowds.
After all, these people were on Eric's opposite side.
"They don't know what they're doing? Especially this metahuman, he can't stop Eric's footsteps. If Eric comes, the results will be terrible!"
Clark, knowing his brother's strength, showed a worried expression on his face.
"It's very likely that he will implicate more people."
As soon as Clark finished speaking, "bang bang" explosions sounded in the sky.
It was as if an air cannon was being unleashed in the clouds.
Amy looked up and saw two figures trailing white contrails, impacting above the crowd.
What Clark had worried about finally happened.
Eric and Wonder Woman appeared!
Both were wearing their respective uniforms.
Eric was in his classic "Black Superman" uniform, and Wonder Woman was in her red and gold mini-skirt battle armor. Both watched the powerful metahuman superhero from the air.
"Stop!"
Wonder Woman roared at the other party and rushed towards him quickly.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, she did not carry her Vulcan Sword and shield.
But she was confident that she could kill this bastard with her fists alone!
Wonder Woman raised her fist and shouted, her aura instantly released, suppressing the Golden-haired young man.
The metahuman who could fire energy beams from his chest saw the aggressive Wonder Woman coming towards him and immediately changed his attack direction, setting Wonder Woman as his target.
However, Wonder Woman's agility and reaction were simply incomparable to these enhanced soldiers!
Wonder Woman flashed, dodging the other party's straightforward attack, and instantly moved in front of the other party.
Seeing the other party move so quickly, the metahuman was startled.
He immediately raised his hand and fired an energy blast at Wonder Woman.
It wasn't just the ring on his chest that could fire energy; his wrist-mounted device could also fire energy.
However, Eric also began his action.
He instantly moved in front of the other party and grabbed the Golden-haired young man's right hand, which was about to fire an energy blast.
With a gentle twist, the other party let out a heart-wrenching scream.
"Ugh ah!"
With a painful scream from his mouth, the metahuman who could fire energy fell from the sky in agony.
He crashed to the ground with a bang, kicking up countless dust.
