Lin Chen and the team climbed dozens of floors.
"Hey, Jill," Lin Chen said, "forgot to tell you—those clowns' subordinates standing by the glass windows above? They're actually tied hostages. The real subordinates are pretending to be hostages."
Jill's eyes widened. "What?! If you hadn't told me, I might have attacked the wrong people!"
Lin Chen nodded. "Credit goes to Poison Ivy—she tipped me off."
"Got it, fraternity man!" Jill scowled. "Safety first!"
"Um… thank you," Poison Ivy whispered, eyes full of gratitude. "Taoist priest, you're so kind to me…"
Widow Sister rolled her eyes. "What do you know? That's just buying people's hearts."
Poison Ivy pouted. "I don't care! The Taoist priest is buying my heart, and I can't wait!"
Lin Chen muttered, "Another late-stage nympho patient. If she stays with you too long, she might get led astray…"
He glanced around. "Alright, we're here. After I kick the door, everyone handle the fake hostages. On my count—one, two, three!"
"Bang!" Harley kicked the door open. Widow Sister rushed in, kicking a clown subordinate, a sidekick, and another assailant.
Poison Ivy's vines snaked through the room, binding multiple enemies and slamming them against the walls.
Harley's baseball bat smashed two more thugs to the floor.
Lin Chen shook his head, smiling. "Crazy women, all of them." A wave of his hand sent silver needles flying, taking down all the remaining bandits—foaming and swaying.
Poison Ivy clung to his arm. "Master, you're amazing!"
Lin Chen pointed upstairs. "Still more enemies above. Girls, stay sharp." He pressed a talisman against one thug's veins.
The Widow Sister scowled.
Harley grabbed her, pointing at the talisman. "Natalie, Taoist priest has a spiritual shield posted behind us."
"Really? That's useful?" Sister Widow rolled her eyes.
They ascended another floor. The clowns had guns ready, firing as soon as the door opened.
"Pin!" A bullet struck Lin Chen—but it was blocked by an invisible barrier.
The Widow Sister stared. "This spiritual shield is that powerful?!"
She held out her hand; another bullet hit and stopped. "It's true!" she whispered. "If mass-produced, body armor companies would go bankrupt!"
"Focus, hurry!" Lin Chen scolded, patting her back.
Harley and Poison Ivy rushed forward, wreaking havoc, while the clowns screamed in panic.
Widow Sister, one step behind, kicked a downed thug. "Damn it, I need to vent my anger!"
Lin Chen called Jill. "Chief Jill, two floors cleared. You can finish up with your team."
"Lin, sniper report: Batman and the Joker are already fighting on the upper level," Jill replied.
"Those two are too affectionate," Lin Chen said with a grin. "Girls, let's go up!"
Jill's mouth twitched. "Your tone is very much like a Mama-san."
"Then you must be the top card," Lin Chen replied.
On the top floor, Batman faced the Joker, both exhausted but determined.
The Joker cackled. "Batman, you can't stop me! Gotham's citizens must be judged! Gordon included!"
"I'm sorry, Clown, Gordon's gone home. Looks like your plan won't work," Lin Chen said, smiling.
"Again you!" Joker fumed. He looked at the girls behind Lin Chen. "Harley, join me! We'll disrupt Gotham together!"
Harley glared. "Clown, you haven't washed your hair in three months? Taoist priest is better!"
The Joker's heart sank. He turned to Poison Ivy. "Ivy, help me! We'll rule Gotham!"
Poison Ivy shook her head. "I'm the gardener now, with weekends, year-end bonuses, and Taoist priest benefits. Not interested in anything else!"
Widow Sister grabbed Lin Chen. "Year-end bonus? You're too partial! I want at least a hundred spiritual shields!"
Lin Chen laughed. "Why don't you grab them?"
"Yes, I'm robbing!" Sister Widow patted her pockets, filling them with a dozen talismans.
Lin Chen warned, "Return those talismans later—or face serious consequences."
The Joker, seeing her audacity and greed, laughed. "Beauty, mess with me, I'll give you more money!"
Sister Widow blinked. "I'm not greedy! I'm evaluating my boss's character!"
Batman said solemnly, "I have a good character. Consider me."
Lin Chen shook his head. "Batman, you're not in love with the Joker, and now you're digging my corner?!"
Batman groaned. "Daoist, I suffer too! You've got another girl… Poison Ivy looks good."
"You only have the clown!" Lin Chen retorted.
The Joker laughed. "The Taoist priest is right! Dogs will bite them!"
He released three vicious dogs. Two charged Batman; one went for Lin Chen.
Lin Chen kicked one into a wall. Batman dodged, but one bit his calf.
"Ah! Taoist priest, help me!" Batman yelled.
Lin Chen kicked the dog away. "Brother, your armor doesn't protect against bites? Too weak!"
Batman muttered, embarrassed. "Bulletproof, not dog-proof…"
Lin Chen pointed to his amulet. "Mine blocks bullets and dog bites. One-time use: $10,000 each."
Batman inspected it carefully. Lin Chen kicked a dog, which bit him, but the invisible barrier blocked it.
"Clown, hit me! I'm inspecting the goods!" Lin Chen shouted. The Joker fired three shots—they were all blocked.
Batman, disgusted with his bulky armor, admitted, "Daoist, give me a hundred spiritual shields and talismans!"
"Alright, local tyrant," Lin Chen said, handing them over.
Widow Sister's eyes sparkled. "Ten thousand? I have at least ten in my pocket… one hundred thousand!"
Harley laughed. "Taoist priest really has a financial mind. Made a million while fighting crime—and I can nap again!"
