Chapter 79 Iceberg Club: Don't come any closer!
Chapter 79 Iceberg Club: Don't come any closer!
After that night, Jaeger enjoyed a few rare days of peaceful life.
Aside from browsing Pingo when I'm bored, managing my social media accounts which are obviously more appealing to reptile enthusiasts than case clients, occasionally helping out at Dr. Leslie's clinic, I mostly just stay home researching random magic.
However, the knowledge and spells contained in a level 2 [Wizard] are ultimately limited, and Jaeger's research has reached a bottleneck.
Unless he gets another skill upgrade card, Jaeger's magic level is unlikely to change much in the short term.
But such things are rare and can only be obtained by chance. Jaeger can only wait for the day when an event card is triggered at the card table, or perhaps trigger other special cards...
During this time, Jaeger also ran into Barbara, who was playing Batgirl, in the Old Town, and patiently listened to her rant about Batman for five minutes.
"He didn't express any further disapproval of my becoming a vigilante... but he actually said Batman doesn't need a sidekick..."
Upon hearing this, Jaeger patted Barbara reassuringly and casually left her with a [Watcher's Mark].
To prevent this currently very passionate young vigilante from encountering any dangerous situation one day.
As for Jason, well, he's in school.
[Landon Parrels] Jaeger would occasionally switch over to check on him, but most of the time he could only play the role of a lazy boss slacking off in the office, which wasn't very interesting. So he would switch back to Jaeger's identity card, where at least he could have afternoon tea and chat with Dr. Leslie in the clinic.
But peaceful days can't last forever.
One weekend afternoon, Jaeger was playing Go with Burks when he suddenly received a message from Batman.
【bat】: Tonight, the Iceberg Club will be open to the public briefly. It is located in the Diamond Zone.
【Great!】: It's finally open! If this Iceberg Club hadn't opened soon, I would have suspected that the owner behind the club would have run away, since the counterfeit goods were ordered from the Iceberg Club.
【bat】: This is possible, so the owners behind the Iceberg Club are also gambling.
However, the profits the other party obtained through the money, assets, intelligence, and illegal items circulating in the Iceberg Club were simply too enormous, so it was impossible for them to give up so easily.
【好耶】: That's true.
[Great!]: So what's the specific plan?
【bat】:We need to disguise ourselves as two gamblers, infiltrate the Iceberg Club, and then investigate to find out who the person who hired the fake is.
【bat】: However, Iceberg Club disguises itself as a legitimate club venue and has very high requirements for entrants in order to screen out the "customers" who enter... so getting into Iceberg Club might be a bit troublesome.
Jaeger also found it a bit tricky, so he pressed for more information.
[Great!]: So what are their requirements for attendees?
【bat】: Membership system. In other words, it means spending money or buying something in exchange for a membership card that grants admission.
【bat】:For example, weapons and intelligence, these are also things that can be exchanged there.
【Great!】: It sounds more and more like the style of some old-fashioned gangsters...
【bat】:The Romans’ rule in Gotham has ended, but their influence still permeates the city.
【bat】: But don't worry, the ticket issue has been resolved.
[Great!]: ? ...How did you solve it? Did you sell some information?
【bat】:No.
[bat]: I had Bruce Wayne give the Iceberg Club tens of millions under the guise of gambling.
【bat】: I got three membership cards, not bad, they can be used.
Jaeger: "..."
hateful.
Why is it that even though I have the billionaire status of Langdon Parrels and could theoretically do similar things, I still feel a strange itch to get rid of Bruce Wayne's extravagant spending...?
Perhaps this is the "rich, simpleton" persona that Bruce Wayne painstakingly cultivated—the kind that's a bit provocative.
The results were excellent. If Jaeger were the owner of the Iceberg Club, he would be grinning from ear to ear right now—a rich fool is great, he has plenty of money and isn't afraid of causing trouble, the perfect client.
Of course, if the other party knew that behind this seemingly foolish rich guy was a lurking Batman, the smile would likely fade and shift to Jaeger's face as he watched the show from the sidelines.
Jaeger shook his head, clearing his mind of the strange thoughts, and looked back at the message Batman had sent.
【bat】:Tonight at 8 PM, Gotham Clock Tower.
This is the meeting point.
Jaeger quickly replied.
[Yay!]: Understood, Bat Commander (salutes.jpg)
