Phantom Kid in the World of American Comics

Chapter 204: Bane VS Black Mask (Prelude)

Based on the information Domino provided, one can know that there’s a pretty good chance Black Mask will send Deadshot to contact Gordon, although he has not yet launched a large-scale deployment 

Unsurprisingly, today is probably the moment Black Mask and Gordon will establish an alliance, and their next step must be to join hands against him. 

Bane is acutely aware that now may be the best time to eliminate Black Mask. 

He had every reason to believe that Black Mask’s defenses were at their weakest at this point, a perfect opportunity to launch an attack.

After all, Bane has been actively enhancing his connection with the Penguin all this time. 

He didn’t make a deliberate move against Black Mask. 

Although it was obvious to anyone with a discerning eye that Bane’s aim in joining forces with the Penguins was to bring down Black Mask or at least weaken Black Mask a little, the alliance between Bane and the Penguin isn’t strong and is still in its beginning.

For the time being, they should not take the initiative to attack Black Mask. 

That being the case, Black Mask’s greater defenses were mainly on its own security and secrecy of information, such as Talia’s experience yesterday can be seen. 

So wouldn’t now be the perfect time to annihilate the Black Mask?

If Sionis really got on the line with Gordon, the situation would be very unfavorable for Bane’s side. 

Even if the Penguin helps him win this decisive battle, the final loss will be immeasurable. 

Bane and Talia may be very willing to see this scene, but what will Penguin think, is he so easy to fool? 

If he saw what Bane was really up to, it could end up going from two against two to three against one.

“We must do it before Sionis reacts…” 

Bane made up his mind. 

“Domino, let all the brothers gather and prepare for the annihilation operation!” 

When Domino had left, Bane took out his cell phone and dialed the Penguin. 

“Cobblepot, it’s time to act…” 

At this time, what Bane didn’t know was that in Sionis’ manor, Black Mask was doing the same thing. 

“We must do it before Bane joins Cobblepot, and it’s best to kill those outsiders first!” 

The biggest strength of Black Mask is actually this. That is, to Gotham, Bane is only an outsider after all, and it is difficult for him to gain approval here. 

But Black Mask is different. 

Even though he was imprisoned in Arkham Asylum for many years, his story is still circulated in Gotham, and the power of the Sionis family had been developing secretly. 

Consequently, Black Mask gained a lot of power as soon as he got out of prison. 

Add to that the fact that most of the men in Blackgate Prison had thrown themselves under his thumb, and even the Penguin was shocked upon noticing his influence. 

There were many people in Black Gate Prison, and their combat power is also very impressive. However, they didn’t like Bane, the outsider, and the Penguin didn’t need any staff. 

In the end, except for Black Mask, there was really no better alternative to resort to. 

Simply put, Black Mask”s manpower is already quite large, and it is obvious that Bane alone can’t deal with him. 

Sionis was well aware of this, so he wasn’t worried about Bane taking the lead on him unless the Penguin is really willing to help Bane against him. 

However, from what Black Mask knew of Penguin, this old scumbag is full of tricks, and he exerts his selfishness to the extreme. He won’t act if he doesn’t see any benefit.

It would depend on what Bane would promise the Penguin with. 

What he didn’t know was that Bane had promised the Penguin an offer he could never refuse. 

Gotham. 

Black Mask looked at the group of ringleaders under him and suddenly asked. 

“Where did Floyd go, and why hasn’t he come back?” 

“I don’t know, boss, I haven’t seen him since dawn.” 

“Forget it, he will pass by himself later.” 

Black Mask waved his hands indifferently. 

“Now, let’s go and kill Bane!” 

“Wait, boss, Bane has a nuke in his hands, if he…” 

A ringleader asked with a frown. 

“Hehe, I know what you’re scared of, but don’t worry about it, Bane’s nuclear bomb isn’t a threat to us.” 

Black Mask smiled sullenly. 

“You don’t have to question the source of my information, just follow my orders.” 

“Turning Gotham into hell starts with killing Bane ……”

Soon, Black Mask led all the members of his gang and marched to the Knightsdome Arena in Edinburgh District fully armored. 

On the other hand, Bane led his mercenaries to the Sionis Manor in the Eastern District. 

A dramatic scene happened. 

Bane and Black Mask both assumed that the other party would not take the initiative to attack them, but that was not the case. 

At the same time, in the largest abandoned factory in the Edinburgh district. 

That’s right, it’s the Ace Chemical Processing Plant you had in mind. 

The legendary chemical factory became Harley Quinn’s hideout after it was abandoned. 

It is also the home base of the “Joker Gang”. 

The Joker Gang is a gang established by Harley, in which every member is a fan of the Joker. 

They have only one goal from the beginning, and that is to rescue the Joker from the Arkham Asylum. 

However, this goal may not be achieved in a lifetime. 

In the Ace Chemical Processing Plant, two guys in fancy clothes, a man and a woman, were leaning against the largest chemical pool. 

“Hmm~” 

Among them, the pale-faced man inhaled air into his nose with a pompous expression. 

“It’s a long-lost smell, hehe, the smell of war.” 

“What smell of war? I don’t smell anything.” 

The female companion beside him asked suspiciously. 

Hearing this, the man laughed without warning. 

“Hahaha, it’s just a fight between two idiots. They think they are hunters, but they are actually just lambs to be slaughtered in a cage…” 

She was even more puzzled upon hearing that, but instead of asking, she laughed with the man. 

Figuring out the problem wasn’t what she wanted in the first place. 

At the border of the Eastern District and Edinburgh District, Bane and Black Mask approached each other. 

Gradually, they began to see what was wrong. 

The tension in the air was becoming more and more apparent as if a killing machine was afoot…

Well, the truth is that the men sent by the two sides to scout had spotted each other.

Soon, at both ends of the Westward Bridge. 

Bane and Black Mask were in distant company.

“How did Sionis know we’re going to attack him?” 

Bane was surprised, did someone leak his plan? 

On the opposite side, Black Mask’s reaction was not much different from his. 

At this time, no one noticed a white figure passing under the bridge. 

There was an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth… 

On the other hand, the Knightsdome Arena lost almost all its defensive power because of Bane’s all-out action. 

Even Talia at Wayne Mansion had only a few forces under her that she could mobilize.
