Chapter 189: Ozymandias’s Reflexes!

In an instant, countless viewers believed Ozymandias was dead!

At such close range, with the attack coming completely without warning, the assassin would only need a single shot!

However, the instant Adrian met the assassin's gaze, he had already realized the man was there to kill him!

The moment the assassin reached for the gun at his waist, Adrian dashed to the left without hesitation!

In the next second, the footage slowed down, making everything much clearer!

Bang! The assassin's first shot struck the female secretary who had been standing beside Ozymandias!

Bang! The second bullet shattered the screaming woman's fingers!

Bang! The third shot struck a shareholder standing directly in Ozymandias's path!

Bang! The fourth bullet pierced the man's head!

At that exact moment, Ozymandias stopped moving sideways and charged straight ahead!

Bang! After firing continuously, the assassin's gun had been forced upward by the recoil. The fifth bullet grazed past Ozymandias's hair!

...

The assassin never got the chance to fire a sixth shot!!

Ozymandias had already arrived in front of him. Taking advantage of his momentum, he grabbed a metal vase from nearby, spun around, and smashed the assassin away with a single blow!

The assassination had failed!

Ozymandias's entire counterattack was as smooth as flowing water.

It was as though he had seen through his opponent from the beginning and calculated the perfect course of action!

Alfred, who had still been joking moments earlier, revealed a look of surprise.

Forget ordinary people. Even among the superpowered freaks of Gotham, very few could have survived such a sudden attack!

That terrifying combination of reflexes, calculation, and execution almost made Alfred think he was watching Master Bruce!

Inside S.H.I.E.L.D.!

Hawkeye considered the situation seriously.

He might have been able to dodge under those circumstances.

However, without his bow, there was absolutely no way he could have carried out such a flawless counterattack.

If even the slightest thing went wrong, he would probably still suffer a gunshot wound!

At that moment, he had no choice but to admit that he, a Level Seven agent, might not be able to defeat a billionaire who spent every day immersed in business affairs!

The realization left him somewhat depressed.

Splash...

That was the sound of the assassin falling into the pool!

Ozymandias immediately followed and covered the assassin's mouth, preventing him from swallowing poison!

He shouted furiously:

"Who sent you? Tell me!!"

However, he was still too late!

The assassin's pupils dilated as large amounts of white foam spilled from the corners of his mouth.

It was a standard cyanide poison. There was no saving him.

Inside the Owlship!

Shock and fury intertwined within Nite Owl's eyes!

He had never expected the mastermind to target the other members of the Watchmen after manipulating Doctor Manhattan into leaving!

The assassin they had sent was even prepared to die!

What kind of terrifying act required such extreme caution?

At that moment, unease rose within Nite Owl's heart.

Was nuclear war truly about to erupt?

Inside the Batcave.

Bruce frowned slightly.

Covering his mouth...?

With Ozymandias's formidable combat ability, did he not know how to dislocate the assassin's jaw?

Something about this was strange.

That night, Rorschach tore away his disguise and put on his mask, becoming his true self once again.

No more fear. No more weakness. No more desires.

He soon located the home of the assassin who had attempted to kill Ozymandias. The man was a low-level thug named Roy.

He discovered that Roy had worked for a company called Pyramid Transnational.

Not long ago, he had seen the same company's logo inside Moloch's home.

A clue had appeared.

Rorschach returned to Moloch's home once again.

However, when he slipped inside, what awaited him was a cold corpse.

The bloody hole in the man's head seemed to mock Rorschach's foolishness.

"It was deliberate!"

Loki blurted out, his eyes filled with praise and admiration befitting the God of Mischief.

Hearing him, Thor turned in confusion.

"What was deliberate?"

"Deliberately killing that old man?"

Before Loki could answer, Thor continued with a look of disdain:

"What is so surprising about that? They merely killed him to silence him."

Upon hearing those words, Odin tightened his grip on Gungnir while seated upon the throne.

He was his own son.

He could only endure it!

Loki immediately mocked him without hesitation:

"My dear brainless brother, when I said it was 'deliberate,' I was referring to the company logo!"

"When Rorschach first visited Moloch's home, the mastermind intentionally allowed him to see it!"

"The purpose was to make him return after discovering the assassin's information."

"Furthermore, Moloch wasn't killed to silence him!"

"He was killed so that someone else could be... framed."

Thor immediately revealed a profoundly wise expression before sneering and shaking his head.

"Is that so? I don't believe you!"

But the instant his voice fell...

Police sirens erupted outside the window!

Rorschach immediately realized that he had fallen into a trap!

Under the assault of dozens of heavily armed police officers, even the improvised flamethrower he constructed on the spot proved useless!

He was arrested!

Even the face he considered his true identity was torn away.

At that moment, countless viewers revealed astonished expressions.

The mastermind had yet to appear, but had already effortlessly eliminated the Comedian, Doctor Manhattan, and Rorschach!

Every scheme was linked to the next.

The mastermind's ability to plan was simply terrifying!

Thor's old face immediately turned red.

The slap in the face had come far too quickly.

That same night...

Rorschach was charged with murdering Moloch. Combined with his previous criminal record, he was sent to prison before his trial could even begin!

And this prison was filled with criminals he had once beaten!

The moment he entered, every inmate behind the iron bars lining both sides of the corridor revealed an excited expression!

A sheep had entered the tiger's den. Their opportunity for revenge had finally arrived!

And that was precisely why the government had imprisoned Rorschach there!

However, before anything else, the prison brought in a psychologist. They wanted to determine whether Rorschach was a criminal or simply mentally ill!

Yet before they had even completed half the examination, the Black psychologist stopped.

A trace of concern and confusion appeared on his face before he asked:

"I can tell that you hate me, but why?"

Rorschach's expression remained calm, his gaze seeming capable of seeing through everything.

In the next second, he looked at the man and replied:

"You're too fat."
