Harley, carrying the weapon Mr. J gave her, walked near the entrance of the chemical plant.
Mr. J had arranged for not only her but also a group of Joker Gang members near the gate.
Harley looked at the water stains on the ground, then at the boots worn by the Joker Gang members, and immediately understood what was going on.
She knew the water on the ground was connected to electric wires, and pressing a switch would electrify it.
At that time, if anyone entered carelessly, the puddle of water could directly electrocute those unlucky individuals.
After Harley understood what was happening, she pouted.
She was a little unhappy that Mr. J hadn't arranged insulated boots for her.
"Hey, you, big guy, would you mind coming over and listening to a story?" Harley suddenly asked the burly man wearing a Joker mask who was closest to her.
A question mark appeared above the burly man's head.
Regardless of whether the Joker Gang member in front of her minded listening to her story, Harley began to talk to herself.
"Not long ago, just on a rooftop, anyway, it was a very romantic night. Mr. J and I, we danced under the moonlight, surrounded by violinists, and then Mr. J proposed to me!"
"'Till Death do us part!' He said that, then pulled out a diamond ring."
Harley fell into a beautiful fantasy, simultaneously making a small, shy expression, "When we get married, we'll charter a yacht to Barbados, or a resort with everything."
Joker Gang member: "..."
He thought for a moment, unsure whether to say congratulations or to remain silent.
He finally decided it was best to remain silent.
"Do you want to hear what happened next?" Harley waved to him, "If you're interested, come a little closer."
The burly man was drawn in by Harley and took two steps towards her.
He was then suddenly hit in the nose by a punch Harley threw.
Then, as the Joker Gang member clutched his nose in pain, she gave him another punch to the abdomen.
"Ugh..."
The Joker Gang member immediately groaned in pain, bending over and clutching his abdomen like a cooked shrimp.
Harley drove her knee upwards.
With a "bang," the tall, burly man's forehead was struck by Harley's knee. After a scream of pain, he fell backward onto the ground.
Even if it was her nominal comrade, Harley still hit him without hesitation.
Taking off the specially made insulated boots from his feet, Harley said to the burly man, who had already been knocked unconscious:
"Sorry, I lied to you just now, curly-haired big guy. When I was dancing under the moon, those playing the violin weren't musicians, but Joker Gang members with guns."
"Also, he didn't give me a diamond ring; that was a grenade he shoved at me, telling me to hold off Batman while he escaped alone. Oh, 'even Death won't part us,' he just ran off like that!"
Harley spoke of what Mr. J had done to her.
She also mocked the unconscious Joker Gang member, "This is what happens when you're deceived by a woman's lies. Next time, be a little more vigilant around women!"
The remaining Joker Gang members stared dumbfounded at Harley Quinn's actions.
This was a woman whose madness was no less than Mr. J's!
These gang members had already tagged Harley Quinn as someone not to be trifled with.
Meanwhile, Gordon had already followed the clues and found Mr. J's hiding place.
He, Cyborg, Nightwing, Black Canary, and Zatanna had arrived at the perimeter of the ACE Chemical Plant.
"I still can't believe it, Gordon, you actually handed Batman over to Mr. J!" Nightwing's anger had not yet subsided. He questioned Gordon, "You know Batman will have no good end in Mr. J's hands, so why did you do it?!"
Nightwing grabbed Gordon's collar and slammed his body heavily against a wall on the perimeter of the chemical plant.
"Bang!"
Gordon's back hit the wall with a dull thud.
Dust from the wall showered down from the impact.
If Gordon hadn't taken the Super Serum, that blow might have taken half his life.
"Why did you do it?!" Nightwing exhaled roughly, roaring at Gordon.
Batman had been brought out of the Tower of Fate by Gordon.
Black Canary had formed an alliance with Barbara, so Gordon also learned of Batman's whereabouts.
Using the trust of people like Cyborg, he entered the Tower of Fate and, while the others were unprepared, directly brought Batman out.
He had already taken the Super Serum and was incredibly strong, so bringing out a living person was not a difficult task.
"Sorry, I had no choice!" Gordon didn't resist. He lowered his head and said to Nightwing, "Mr. J kidnapped my ex-wife, and he threatened Barbara's life. If I hadn't done that then, Barbara would have been in danger. I swore I wouldn't let Barbara be harmed again. She already lost her legs..."
"So you traded Batman for Barbara's life!" Nightwing couldn't hold back and punched Gordon in the face.
With a bang, Gordon took the punch squarely.
"I know Barbara. If she knew all this, she would never agree to it!" After punching Gordon, Nightwing was still not appeased and continued, "What you did was simply choose the easiest path. There were many solutions. You're a coward, Gordon!"
"If hitting me twice helps you calm down, I have no objection." Gordon said to Nightwing in a deep voice, "Mr. J promised me he would never harm Batman."
"Promise?! Don't tell me you believe his nonsense."
Nightwing scoffed at Gordon's naivety.
"I don't believe him, so I prepared special measures." Gordon's glasses were cracked from Nightwing's punch. Leaning against the wall, he slowly pulled out a signal locator from his pocket.
"I injected a tracking device into Batman. This device sends me a coordinate address every minute, so I can find Batman in the shortest time possible. This way, even if Mr. J wants to do something, he won't have the chance to carry it out."
He looked at the ACE Chemical Plant in front of him and said, "And now, Batman is inside, though I don't know why Mr. J would bring Batman here."
Hearing Gordon say this, the fire of anger in Nightwing's heart subsided a little.
He released Gordon's collar and said, "You'd better pray Batman is safe and sound."
"If you two keep squabbling like this, even if Batman is fine, you'll delay him into trouble." Black Canary put down her binoculars and said to Nightwing and Gordon with a cold expression.
"We must resolve this quickly. There are patrolling enhanced soldiers nearby. If they discover us, even if we rescue Batman, he'll probably end up in Homelander's hands." The newly joined Zatanna said with a frown.
She wasn't afraid of Mr. J.
She had seen many such crazy individuals in the magic world.
So she had developed a certain immunity.
Conversely, she was more afraid of Eric.
He had integrated resources from across America, gathered countless metahumans, and was one of the strongest superheroes himself.
Such an existence was definitely the most difficult person to contend with in this world!
Even the magic world had experienced turmoil because of Eric.
Ever since the Fairytale Queen invaded Smallville, Eric had accelerated his crackdown on the magic world.
Countless individuals from the magic world were implicated.
That scoundrel Constantine even fled to England.
He was wanted by Eric's government for being forced to participate in an "attack on government forces" activity.
Actually, he was somewhat innocent; he just met a woman in a bar, had a few drinks, and then helped her with the alchemy of some magical materials.
As a result, he got entangled in so-called "terrorist activities."
There was no other way; he could only temporarily hide in London to avoid the limelight.
"How is it? Did you see the guards?" Black Canary's voice interrupted Zatanna's thoughts.
Zatanna looked at Black Canary.
She was asking Cyborg.
Cyborg nodded, his electronic eyes glowing red.
"I saw them. The guards are mainly concentrated near the main gate. The preliminary estimate is about a dozen."
Cyborg stated his findings.
"A dozen?" Black Canary breathed a sigh of relief when Cyborg said that.
A dozen guards, and their positions known to their side, gave her ample confidence for the upcoming battle.
Especially now that they had a great sorceress like Zatanna.
Zatanna, however, was not as confident as Black Canary.
She suddenly felt that something was off about the chemical plant, like a strange illness with the wrong symptoms.
This was her innate sharp intuition.
Despite her unease, she ultimately didn't voice it.
After discussing, the group decided to break in through the windows on either side of the chemical plant.
Cyborg, as their strongest overt combatant, charged in first.
Inside the ACE Chemical Plant.
Harley was boredly yawning when she suddenly heard the "crash" of breaking glass.
She immediately turned and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Cyborg descending from above.
Cyborg, entering the chemical plant through the window, immediately spotted Harley and the others.
Without hesitation, Cyborg fired a shockwave from his mechanical arm, aiming at Harley.
Harley immediately dodged to the right.
At the same time, she pulled out a submachine gun, pulled the trigger, and furiously fired at Cyborg.
Bullets formed a dense metallic barrage, impacting Cyborg.
Cyborg immediately raised his mechanical arm to block the storm of bullets.
At the same time, the glass window on the west side shattered.
A woman in black stockings, swinging on a rope, charged towards the Joker Gang members.
Bang! Bang!
Two Joker Gang members, who were raising their guns to shoot, were kicked in the chin by Black Canary.
They fell to the ground, spitting blood, their Joker masks flying off their faces.
