Anton immediately rushed to the scene.
By then, NYPD Commissioner George Stacy was already present.
As masters of damage control, the NYPD was always on hand after any incident.
Of course, the little turtles weren't with them.
Although they were part of the NYPD, they were members of the Task Force.
The explosion was different from a typical terrorist attack, so there was no need to deploy the Task Force, and naturally, no need for the little turtles to be present.
George and the others came here not only to give the Jameson Family some face but also to investigate the scene and provide an explanation to the Jameson Family and the citizens of New York.
"The nearby surveillance cameras were damaged a day ago."
"The cameras inside Wayne Company were damaged in the explosion and cannot be recovered."
George's expression turned slightly grim as he listened to the report from his subordinate officers.
Clearly, this was a very obvious, targeted attack.
The explosion was aimed directly at Wayne Company!
Who had the guts to do this?
To provoke even Batman?
George was extremely surprised.
Little Jameson, the man behind Anton, was Batman; this was beyond question, a well-known fact, known across the entire network.
Furthermore, although the Wayne Company was backed by the Jameson Family, the Wayne surname perfectly matched the name of the well-known Batman, Bruce Wayne.
In other words, to many people, including George, the Wayne Company was Batman's company.
The Jameson Family seemed more like the managers of the company, not the actual controllers.
So, who would dare to provoke Batman's company? George was baffled.
Screech!
Suddenly, a car crashed through the police barricade.
A man who was not unfamiliar emerged from the driver's seat; it was Anton.
"Chief Stacy."
Anton greeted George and then looked at the old man not far away, who had just finished being questioned by the police.
"What's the situation?"
Anton sized the old man up and down, seeing that he was unharmed. Only then did he turn his gaze to the destroyed Wayne Company, his expression slightly displeased: "Which bastard dared to blow up our company?"
"I don't know."
Jameson shook his head and looked at Wick: "Wick, tell us what you know."
"There were two people, and they weren't afraid of bullets."
Wick didn't hide anything. "After I realized something was wrong, I immediately turned back and found Mr. Jameson, and then the explosion happened. I don't know the specifics... But, I think it might have been a suicide bomber."
"Not afraid of bullets, suicide bomber."
Anton narrowed his eyes, pondering for a moment, completely baffled.
"You two go back first."
Anton instructed Wick to take the old man away, while he himself stayed behind.
The NYPD had investigated for a long time without results, and finally informed Anton before sealing off the scene and leaving.
Anton entered the Wayne Company and summoned Cyborg in a secluded area.
He located the center of the explosion and recorded all the data.
Although no surveillance footage remained, Anton still discovered something unusual through the data.
"Human bomb?"
Anton frowned, feeling something was amiss.
The explosion had started here, but there were no bodies.
This was unusual.
If it were a suicide bomber, the body, despite being torn apart and charred by the impact and flames, wouldn't be completely vaporized in that instant.
Normally, the temperature for cremation should be below 1000 degrees Celsius, but wouldn't be lower than 600 degrees Celsius.
The temperature produced by ordinary bombs is around 3000 degrees Celsius or higher.
Slightly more powerful ones could reach 7000-8000 degrees Celsius.
An atomic bomb could easily reach over 50 million degrees Celsius.
The key, however, was that the temperature needed to instantly incinerate a human body didn't match the power of the current explosion.
At the scene where Anton was, there were no remains of a corpse.
Evidently, the body had turned to ash, as if cremated.
This effect was not something an ordinary explosion could produce.
If that were the case, not only the floors where the Wayne Company was located, but the entire building, and even an area of nearly a hundred meters around it, would have been destroyed by the explosion.
"Could it be… the explosion was generated by a human body, not explosives!"
Anton sniffed.
He didn't smell any gunpowder nearby.
While pondering, Anton finished gathering information, retracted his Cyborg avatar, and left the Wayne Company.
...
At the same time.
News about the explosion gradually appeared in the public eye online.
The Wayne Company had been riding high recently.
Not only because the Wayne Company was secretly and openly connected to Batman,
but also because the emergence of Limb Regeneration Technology instantly made the newly established Wayne Company the focus of the world.
It could heal the disabled!
With such slogans and widespread publicity... probably most of the disabled people in the world had heard of the Wayne Company.
Therefore, this incident instantly attracted the attention of countless people.
"The Wayne Company got blown up?!"
"Who's got the guts to do that? They dared to bomb Batman's turf?"
"The Jameson Family is in trouble!"
"I heard it wasn't bombed, but rather an internal problem at Wayne Company, an explosion caused by a failed experiment... I knew Limb Regeneration Technology wasn't reliable."
"I heard that too, the experiment failed, and the human body just exploded... How tragic!"
"Even Batman's company can't crack the mysteries of the human body."
Netizens were discussing it heatedly.
With information leaked by certain "insiders," the public disregarded the official statement released by the NYPD, immediately casting doubt on Limb Regeneration Technology.
The situation took a nosedive.
Even the Wayne Company's website saw a significant number of appointment cancellations.
Jonah Jameson had only just returned home when the rumors online ignited like a small spark, quickly spreading like wildfire.
At the same time, major media outlets and newspapers, sensing a hot topic, proactively provided content for sensationalism, fanning the flames of this explosive event.
[Wayne Company Explosion! Limb Regeneration Technology Questioned!]
[Terrorist Attack or Cover-Up?]
[Is Limb Regeneration Technology Truly a Lifeline for the Disabled?]
Within hours, major news outlets had amplified the story, sparking a significant uproar.
It's worth noting that the Wayne Company's "Limb Regeneration Technology" had offended more than just disability rights groups.
For example, if the world had no disabled people, everything related to them would become obsolete.
The most obvious industry affected would be companies that manufacture prosthetics.
A prosthetic limb requires complex craftsmanship and comes with a hefty price tag, allowing many prosthetic companies to make a fortune.
Furthermore, products like wheelchairs and canes would see a drastic drop in sales.
And that's just what's readily apparent.
Not to mention the shadowy "scam" medical services.
In short, offending the Wayne Company meant nothing in the face of profit. Even offending Batman was a risk these people were willing to take.
Batman wouldn't resort to killing them over normal business competition, would he?
If he did, would he still be Batman?
Furthermore, although most people believed the Wayne Company was connected to Batman, officially, the two were unrelated except for the name.
Public records of registered legal entities and shareholders showed that the Wayne Company was entirely owned by the Jameson Family.
Bruce Wayne?
Perhaps the Wayne Company, along with the Limb Regeneration Technology, was just the Jameson Family leveraging Batman's reputation and power to make a profit.
The explosion was just a pretext!
In any case, the explosion provided these people with an opening.
The Wayne Company was once again in the spotlight.
