“Woo! Woo! Woo!” A screeching siren rang throughout the Wayne Building. 

This is the first time this has happened since Miranda led the people of the establishment. 

Almost everyone thought it was a large-scale invasion by the Black Mask or the Penguin, and they were waiting for them to appear. All of them looked solemn, as if they were facing an army. 

However, when the first group of guards searched the top floor, they did not find the large number of infiltrators they expected. They only saw that the clothes of their companion had been ripped off by someone. 

Guards patrolling the perimeter of the building also reported that no suspicious people were found on the surrounding streets. 

That is to say, the intruder is not one of Black Mask’s or Penguin’s men. 

Wayne Building, 30th floor. 

The office that once belonged to Lucius Fox now belongs to Miranda. 

Miranda sat in the office chair and listened to the report of the subordinate in the communicator, 

“It’s been five minutes since the alarm went off, but none of you has detected the intruder?” 

“What about the monitoring room, was no abnormality found?” 

“Yes, boss, we checked every surveillance camera in the building. Except for that part of the top floor that was shrouded in smoke, none of the cameras caught the intruder.” 

“The part covered by smoke has just been searched, and there is really no sign of anyone either.” 

“Maybe the alarm sounded and the intruder realized that he couldn’t get in, so he might have escaped through the hole on the roof.” 

That’s absurd! 

This was the first thought that came to Miranda after listening to his subordinate’s answer. 

But in the next second, she suddenly thought of a person, an existence that was forgotten by Gotham’s League of Shadows and never really paid attention to. 

“Could it be Phantom Kid?” 

Thinking of one of her subordinates being stripped of his clothes, this means that the other party has now disguised himself as one of her own, and can move freely in the building without being restrained. 

Since no one noticed the presence of the intruder…

The only person who can do this is the Phantom Kid. 

“Hmph, Bane reminded me a few days ago that Kid has returned, and I didn’t take it seriously. Now, it seems that he is indeed a big trouble.” 

Miranda mused. 

“Kid didn’t hesitate to set off the alarm to enter the Wayne Building. There must be something he is seeking here… Does he already know about that?” 

Thinking of this, Miranda’s eyes widened. 

“If that’s the case, then Phantom Kid should be neutralized!” 

Miranda stood up and walked out of her office, giving orders to many guards at the same time. 

“The intruder is most likely Kid. His most common method is to cut off the power supply. Quickly send someone to check the power supply room!” 

“Boom!” 

At this moment, an explosion sounded, and then the entire Wayne Building fell into darkness. 

“Damn, we are a step behind…” 

Miranda gritted her teeth angrily, and the communicator in Wayne’s enterprise could not be used at this time, so she could only take out the radio from the drawer. 

“Go and turn on the backup power!” 

“Also, hurry up and send people to find that guy… No, no one is allowed to go there now, I’ll go find him myself!” 

In the elevator shaft, Mathison heard Miranda’s instructions through the walkie-talkie he looted and immediately showed a smirk of triumph. 

In a dark dungeon, Lucius Fox was imprisoned inside. 

It’s hard to imagine that the glamorous Wayne Mansion hides such a dark and dirty environment. 

There was no light source in the dungeon itself, so Lucius didn’t know that there was something is wrong currently in the Wayne Building. 

Two well-equipped guards were standing at the door of the dungeon. 

Physically and mentally, these two guards’ appearance was way different from the others. 

Because they were real members of the League of Shadows. 

Each is a master of fighting. 

Their combat power is far beyond ordinary S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. 

As the orthodox heir of the League of Shadows, Miranda’s father is the previous leader Ra’s al Ghul, and Batman’s ninja master. 

Under the personal instruction of the ninja master, Miranda mastered all the shadow warriors’ techniques. 

After Batman destroyed the League of Shadows led by Ra’s al Ghul, Miranda gathered another group of people and planned to establish a new League of Shadows. 

Although Bane is the most powerful weapon under Miranda, he was not trained by Miranda but joined the League of Shadows during Ra’s al Ghul’s ruling period. 

It’s just because Bane fell in love with Miranda that he was finally expelled by Ra’s al Ghul. After this latter died, Miranda brought Bane back. 

The League of Shadow’s training is extremely difficult, and not many people can persevere to the end. 

Therefore, there are not many real shadow warriors under Miranda. 

Afraid that she would lose him, she was accompanied by the guards to the dungeon at once. 

That’s how important Lucius was to her situation. 

“Click clack click…” 

Suddenly, the sound of high heels stepping on the ground came over. 

Hearing this voice, Lucius’ eyelids trembled. 

Since his imprisonment, he has been hearing the same sound almost every day. 

“Fox, I think you should have almost thought about it. You exhausted almost all my patience.” 

Before long, a sexy woman in a dark blue wool dress appeared at the door of the dungeon. 

She merely winked at the guards, and they took the initiative to open the cell door and let her in.

“Miss Tate, you don’t have to hold on any longer. I can’t tell you that secret. It’s pointless to imprison me here.” 

Lucius looked calmly at Miranda in front of the prison gate. 

“You should kill me.” 

Miranda saw the determination in Lucius’ eyes, and she was silent for a long time. 

“Okay, as you wish.” 

Finally, Miranda sighed and said, perhaps she knew that she could not pry the mouth of the man in front of her, so she gave up her original plan.

Lucius was surprised. He thought that Miranda would keep him imprisoned unless he confesses to her what she wants, but he did not expect that there would be a day when he would be freed. 

“Come with me outside, as the CEO of Wayne Enterprises and the equipment provider for Batman, this place is not suitable for your graveyard.” 

Miranda said, she turned around, walked outside the cell door, and motioned for Lucius to follow. 

“Bang!” 

However, when Miranda was about to reach the cell door, the guard suddenly closed the cell door and then locked it tightly. 

“What are you doing?” 

Miranda frowned, her tone suppressed a lot of anger. 

“Hehehe, Phantom Kid, I have long heard that your disguise is the best in the world. Only those who have seen it can know how powerful your disguise is.” 

A familiar chuckle came from outside the prison door, and it was also Miranda’s voice. 

The other Miranda walked to the door of the dungeon and looked triumphantly at the two people inside.
