Chapter 1282: True Motive Is Still Robbery

At that moment, someone walked out of the subway station. It was none other than Targo.

He waved his hand and ordered, “Hurry up and get to work. Are you going to get paid more for pulling out your gun? If you have so much energy, hurry up and dig the hole.”

Then, he pointed at the other two workers. “Throw his body in a corner and cover it with dirt so that nobody can find it.”

The two workers silently stepped forward and picked up Luke’s “body.”

They tossed Luke’s limp “body” in a corner before they returned. “It’s done, boss.”

Targo didn’t think much of it. He simply nodded and said into his walkie-talkie, “Come down. The passage is ready.”

As he spoke, several engineering cars drove down steel planks and rushed into the subway station.

As the “workers” got to work, Luke’s “body” slowly sat up behind a bunch of rundown lockers in one corner of the subway station.

His thoughts moved, and a spray appeared in his hand, which he sprayed himself with.

The blood from the broken bag on his back mixed with the mist and quickly turned into white powder which Luke put back into his inventory.

As for the two bullets, he was already wearing a close-fitting bulletproof vest, and they didn’t even scratch his skin.

Except for two holes in the back of his shirt, everything was the same as when he first came in.

One of the shooters had wanted to blow up Luke’s head because of his handsome face.

Luke would remember this grudge.

Thankfully, he had been able to use Basic Hypnosis and Mental Communication for a while before he came in.

Under this mental suggestion, they didn’t examine Luke further when they saw the blood on his back.

The ugly man, on the other hand, was a lot more obsessed, and had almost aimed the gun at the back of Luke’s head.

If the guy had insisted on taking the lead, Luke could only pretend to stumble to avoid the shot.

Worse came to worse, Batman, who was invisible on the side, would have no choice but to make a move.

But this was the worst way to resolve the situation. Luke didn’t want to do it unless he had to.

He had a lock on Targo and his men, but there was still no sign of that lunatic Simon.

Now was the best time to close the net and catch Simon.

In any case, it was just the criminals in the subway station; there was nobody else.

For Batman, these criminals were just lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

At that moment, Tony suddenly sent a message. “Someone just sent me a message saying that Targo and Simon are at the Wall Street subway station and are about to dig into the vault of the First Financial Bank next door and steal a bunch of unmarked cash and ten tons of gold.”

Stunned for a moment, Luke immediately recalled something. “Isn’t this just a small bank?”

He remembered investigating a robbery at the bank before, and running into a “robber” who wanted forty hours a week at the bank with insurance.

Before that, this First Financial Bank had only been robbed of slightly more than 3,000 dollars; it was a super poor bank.

Tony chuckled. “Do you think this is an actual bank? The cash and gold it has are from shady private transactions.”

Luke dropped the matter.

As long as the cash and gold were real, this info wasn’t necessarily fake.

“Who sent you the message?” He asked the key question.

It was very important to determine whether the source of the information was reliable. In the face of the threat which the “big surprise” posed, no mistakes could be allowed.

Tony said, “You might not believe it. I don’t know exactly where he is, but he’s probably within 200 meters of the Wall Street subway station.”

Luke narrowed his eyes. “The same result we got?”

Tony said, “Yes. I’m on my way. I want to see what kind of genius is able to escape me.”

Thinking quickly, Luke sent a message. “There are 95 criminals here, including Targo. Can you take them down?”

After a brief silence, Tony said, “We have to subdue Targo and Simon in the first instance. We can’t give them a chance to react.”

Luke said, “Then wait a bit. When they’re moving the money is a good time to make a move.”

After a brief silence, Tony said, “Alright. I’ll head back to Stark Tower. Give me a two-minute heads-up before we move out.”

Luke knew that the tycoon was flying over in his suit.

Stark Tower was right next to the Empire State Building. It would only take Tony a minute to reach Wall Street.

After sending a simple reply, Batman stealthily approached the criminals.

He scanned the room again to make sure that Simon wasn’t among them.

But when Targo used their comms, he used Simon’s name.

From the conversation, it was clear that Simon was already inside the First Financial Bank, and had taken control of the hall and the alarm system. He was now entering the vault.

After saying that, they hung up.

It seemed that he really had to wait for these two to break into the vault and regroup before taking action.

Thinking that, Luke told Tony about the situation and had the tycoon think of a way to sneak in without alerting anyone else.

Actually, he had always wanted to complain about the tycoon’s flashy personality.

This wasn’t a superhero movie. Was there a need to be so flashy when he showed up in public?

The guy was basically a peacock in his main armor; the gold and red colors could be seen even hundreds of meters away.

These criminals weren’t stupid.

Even Tony couldn’t completely crack their anti-tracking methods; they were very vigilant, and it was possible that they were guarding against Iron Man.

It was even possible that these people had already accounted for the superheroes in New York.

The Wall Street subway explosion had disrupted the alarm systems of many banks.

With the threat of a “big surprise,” all of New York’s police force and perhaps some superheroes had moved out.

The one thing Wall Street didn’t have was schools.

As long as they weren’t hypocrites, most people would have scruples and prioritize searching for that lethal weapon.

The First Financial Bank was a special existence that involved underground transactions, and the bank itself didn’t want to be targeted by the police.

The robbers naturally could carry out their robbery smoothly.

That was right, Luke no longer thought of them as terrorists.

In the Nakatomi Plaza case, Hans Gruber acted like a terrorist, but in the end, was still focused on money.

From the looks of things, it ran in the family.
