Chapter 814: Azu and Horus, a fateful duelAn older woman was talking to someone.

She knew the other person, Leslie Tompkinson, who had faked his own death in Africa a year ago and sent her to Africa.

In the previous "War Games" event, Stephanie, in order to prove herself to Batman, stole and implemented Batman's long-term plan to deal with the entire Gotham City gang.

What she didn't know was that everything about this plan was based on the involvement of gangster "Match Malone", a hidden identity of Batman.

Without Match Malone's involvement, the plan quickly spirals out of control, culminating in a gang war that engulfs Gotham City.

During the incident, Stephanie was captured by Black Mask, who brutally tortured her in order to gain information about Batman.

After Stephanie escaped, she "died" in Dr. Leslie Tompkins' clinic.

Now that he has "resurrected from the dead" and returned to Gotham, Stephanie's eyes are always looking for Tim among the celebrities.

But Tim was never found.

As the adopted son of billionaire Bruce Wayne, Tim would definitely attend such a party.

Was there an accident?

Stephanie immediately became uneasy.

She usually has the best relationship with Tim and even admires him a little.

Now that she wasn't seeing Tim, she was a little worried about his safety.

Just when she was feeling a little uneasy, she suddenly saw a commotion in the theater.

Then Stephanie saw a beautiful figure running away from the theater.

The night walker with black hair, a beautiful figure and wearing a black evening dress jumped onto a hot air balloon that had been prepared in advance and left.

Stephanie certainly wouldn't watch the thief leave.

As Nightwalker's silver high heels stepped on the edge of the hot air balloon basket, Stephanie Brown's tactical boots were stuck in the gap between the steel beams of the theater ceiling.

As the hot air balloon began to take off, Stephanie jumped from the 30-meter-high truss.

With a "bang", she grabbed the auxiliary cable that fixed the balloon as she fell, and used the force to swing towards the basket.

Seeing Stephanie suddenly appear, the Night Walker had to leave the hanging basket and jump to the rooftop of the nearest building.

"Bang"!The moment she jumped onto the rooftop, Stephanie followed closely.

"It seems that you finally don't count on that hot air balloon of yours anymore, right?"

Stephanie slowly stood up and taunted the night girl.

The Night Walker did not intend to run away, but said to her calmly: "Don't underestimate the call of the night, little girl."

She said, moving toward Stephanie, "This wonderful ball beneath us beckons me with the possibility of receiving a generous gift."

Stephanie's cape rustled in the night air. "In layman's terms, you're planning to rob the rich people downstairs?"

Being told this by Stephanie, the Night Walker was a little annoyed. "It seems that you don't know how powerful I am, little girl. Let me tell you, those who face the night bravely are more likely to fall into the arms of others."

Before she finished her words, she quickly disappeared into the shadows.

Stephanie was stunned as she watched the Night Walker disappear.

"Merge into the shadows? I've never seen this trick on her happy webpage?!"

Just as Stephanie was complaining, the next second, the figure of the Night Walker suddenly appeared in front of her.

Stephanie responded immediately by tilting her head to avoid the attack, and the shining dagger slashed past the tip of her ear.

Rushing forward, her left hand had already grasped her opponent's elbow.

While grabbing the other person, Stephanie said to the Night Walker, "That's a good move!"

In response to Stephanie's ridicule, Nightwalker spun around and kicked out with a scissors kick, with the metal tip of her stiletto heels going straight for her throat.

Stephanie retracted her neck and leaned back, steadying her center of gravity with her legs, and used her right hand to turn her palm into a knife and chop at the opponent's knee.

The moment the night walker relaxed in pain, Stephanie's thumb pressed precisely on the inside of her wrist.

Then she threw the other person out with a "bang".

But soon the night walker fell to the ground and disappeared.

The moonlight was swallowed up by the dark clouds at this moment, and the rooftop was instantly plunged into absolute darkness.

Stephanie took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and listened.

She knew that the other person had disappeared into the darkness.

Three meters to the right and rear, the waterproof cloth groaned slightly as it was stepped on.

Stephanie spun around with a spinning kick, but only met with cold air.

Then her left ear suddenly felt a disturbance in the air flow, and Stephanie immediately leaned back like an iron bridge. With a "whoosh", the Night Walker's knee almost scratched the tip of her nose.

Seeing that she couldn't determine the other party's position, Stephanie suddenly grabbed the insulation debris and threw it aside.

The crisp sound of debris hitting the metal water tank exposed the true location of the Night Walker.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Stephanie pounced towards the ventilation duct in the northwest corner like a leopard, and heard a muffled groan when her hand knife hit the entity.

But the next moment, when Stephanie's fingertips touched the other person's belt buckle, two clusters of dim lights suddenly lit up in the darkness - the woman actually embedded the stolen phosphorescent diamonds on the toes of her shoes.

A loud "bang" sound was heard.

At the moment of blinding light, Stephanie slid along the steel beam towards the cooling tower, but her ankle was entangled in the barb wire.

"Ballet class starts now."

The Night Walker used the momentum to jump into the air, wrapped her legs around the steel beam, and kicked Stephanie upside down.

With a "bang", Stephanie was hit hard in the abdomen.

Enduring the pain, she took the opportunity to lock the opponent's ankle with her legs.

The two of them were suspended in the air like a pendulum, and Stephanie gritted her teeth and punched the other person hard in the chest.

"Bang!" Taking advantage of the opponent's muscle spasm, she used the strength of her waist to flip onto the steel beam and locked the Night Walker's left arm with a cross lock.

"Squeak!"

Just as the two were fighting, the steel beam suddenly made a vibrating sound.

The load-bearing column bolts could no longer support the weight of the two people.

"Wow!"

The two were caught off guard and fell heavily into the emergency water tank on the roof.

The smelly stagnant water instantly submerged the chests of the two men.

The Night Walker slid away from the grasp underwater like an eel, and the blades hidden in her nails scratched the skin under Stephanie's ribs.

The moment the blood mist dissipated, Stephanie held her breath and dived down, grabbing the other person's flowing long hair by touch.

"Boom!"

The dull sound of the night girl's head hitting the wall of the water tank startled the roosting pigeons.

The moment the two surfaced to breathe, Stephanie's knee hit the other's tailbone.

Just as the two were fighting in the water tank, wet and powerful, a rope suddenly dropped from above.

The two men didn't care about anything else and immediately grabbed the rope and jumped out of the water tank.

Shaking off the water on her head, the Night Walker was about to continue fighting when she suddenly noticed a figure appear on the rooftop.

The man wearing a strange mask, with his cape blown in the air by the wind, was staring at the two of them.

Seeing this, Stephanie immediately stopped what she was doing and looked at him in surprise and suspicion.

The person standing on the rooftop who suddenly appeared and rescued Stephanie was the one who previously called himself "Peter Padrick".

At this moment, his sharp eyes behind the mask were staring at the two of them.

"You are under arrest, ma'am."

He said to the wet night girl.

"You want to arrest me, then go ahead."

As she spoke, the Night Walker immediately activated her ability and hid herself in the darkness.

But before she completely disappeared into the darkness, "Peter Patrick" stretched out his right hand and pointed it in the direction she disappeared.

As he moved, a powerful energy instantly rushed out.

With a "bang", the night walker hiding in the darkness groaned in pain and fell to the ground.

After the appearance, the Night Walker fell to the ground, holding her chest, and looked at the man wearing the strange mask in shock.

She didn't expect that the other party could easily see where she was.

She staggered and tried to stand up, but was unable to do so, as if all the strength in her body had been drained away.

"Who are you?"

Stephanie asked with a look of astonishment as she saw him take out the Night Walker with one strike.

"I'm Peter Padrick."

The mysterious man called himself Peter and said to Stephanie: "I know you, Stephanie Brown, a frivolous girl."

"frivolous?"

Stephanie was a little annoyed when she heard the word.

"Who do you think you are? Peter Padrick, you guy, I remember the newspaper reported that you are the latest superhero."

"But. Wait, how do you know my name?"

Stephanie asked in shock.

She didn't expect the other party to call out her name directly.

"That was not difficult for me because I have a high level of intelligence, especially in electronic technology."

Peter shrugged, "So I can look up your information instantly."

"So what do you want to do? Want to be this city's new superhero? Replace Batman?"

Stephanie asked the other party continuously.

"No, I just want to give the people of this city a new comfort."

Peter said slowly in a hoarse, deliberately concealed voice: "Can you hear me? This is a city that will never be at peace. Under the steel and concrete is a deep and rapid breathing."

"Gotham City is still full of failure, frustration and chaos. People on the street are holding all kinds of questions. Some are excited about the opportunities presented by Batman's departure, some are hesitant about the opportunities in front of them because of his absence, and some find the determination to embark on the road of redemption from his sacrifice."

He said with a complicated expression: "Some people reluctantly took over the cape to fill the void left by his death. They tried to find answers and the pulse of life, because Gotham had lost his heart."

"And I try to give this city a heart."

What Peter said made Stephanie stunned.

"Who are you exactly?"

Before "Peter" could answer, the sound of applause rang out.

Under the shocked gazes of Stephanie and the fallen Night Walker, a figure slowly walked out clapping.

A-Zu clapped his hands and walked out from the shadows.

"Well said, it sounds like you have become the real Batman protecting this city."

A-Zu had a fake smile on his face, "Unfortunately, fake is fake."
