Chapter 420 is not enough
What Congressman Harrison didn't know was that the penguin man still looked light-hearted, but the shock in his heart was not below him at all, and even more than him!
Because the penguin man knows more than he does!
Like Congressman Harrison, the Penguins know Lanzel, and are much more familiar with Lanzel than Congressman Harrison.
Gotham is so big, and the communication between the upper echelons is far more dense than the average person thinks.
Although the Monroe family is not as powerful as the Colbert family, they are also in the top ten in Gotham, and they are also meat eaters who stand at the top of the food chain, so they are naturally no strangers to each other.
Lanzel, as the speaker of the Monroe family, has also cooperated with him several times, and he has also heard that the Monroe family is one of the founding families of the 'Owl Court' and is a core member.
The Supreme Council that Amanda is talking about is undoubtedly the decision-making level of the 'Owl Court'.
In addition to this, the Penguin people also noticed another name mentioned by Amanda - Floyd!
Congressman Harrison may not know who Floyd was because he was not familiar with the underworld.
But how could Penguin, the underworld boss, not know the name of the former No. 1 Assassin in Gotham? Speaking of which, he had hired Freud a few times, and he was an old acquaintance.
However, even if Floyd was the number one assassin in Gotham, it was nothing in his eyes.
It wasn't until after the incident five years ago that he began to face up to this 'tool man' who had been ignored by him.
As the saying goes, the layman looks at the liveliness, and the insiders look at the doorway.
Floyd's fame five years ago made many people pay attention to the mysterious promoter behind it, and even Batman, who didn't know the name of 'Owl Court' at that time and only knew the existence of this force, also saw a lot of clues from that incident.
Penguins, who already knew about the existence of the 'Owl Court', made it easier for them to guess the truth.
In fact, the 'Owl Court' was very reluctant to agree to Raymond's conditions that time, because they have always believed in a low-key strategy, and they tried not to expose it if they could.
That time Floyd was quickly pushed into the second Batman, so that many people who didn't know about the 'Owl Court' began to pay attention, which was of course unpleasant to them.
However, the situation is stronger than people, and they can only compromise compared to tearing their faces with the mysterious organization behind Floyd.
Even Raymond didn't expect that it was because of that incident that many people associated Freud with the 'Owl Court'.
The Penguin people are also among those who hold this view.
So he didn't believe that the Joker was killed by Freud at all, because he knew both of them, and with what he knew about the two of them, he didn't think that one Freud could kill a monster like the Joker.
Therefore, in his eyes, it should be the 'Owl Court' that killed the clown who got in the way, but he was afraid of exposing his own existence, so he launched the shield of Freud to divert the public's attention.
As for why Freud disappeared for five years after that, in his opinion, it must have something to do with the 'Owl Court'.
Perhaps the 'Owl Court' was afraid that this matter would be leaked by Freud, so they finally chose to kill him.
Based on the information that the penguin people know, this set of logic is indeed self-consistent, and he has always thought so.
Until this moment I heard this from Amanda......
Assuming that what Amanda said is true, then Floyd is obviously not as simple as a shield for the 'Owl Court', and has some connection with the mixed-race young man named Raymond in front of him, maybe the two belong to the same force.
Moreover, the 'Owl Court' is obviously in a weak position in the face of this force.
From Amanda's words just now, it is not difficult for him to get some useful information, and then draw a conjecture close to the truth -
After Floyd's disappearance five years ago, the 'Owl Court' tried to arrest his daughter, and it happened to be Lanzel, an old acquaintance of the Penguin People, who made the suggestion.
The result should have been a failure, and it was discovered by Freud's forces, and they had to find an explanation from the 'Owl Court'.
In order not to anger Freud's forces, the 'Owl Court' was willing to take the initiative to execute Lanzel, one of its core decision-makers, to appease the anger of Freud and the forces behind him.
Raymond and Freud should belong to the same force, and Amanda came to Raymond to communicate about it.
When the penguin man came to this conclusion, even he himself was startled, and his heart beat sharply faster!
Because if that's the case, then Raymond is a hundred times more troublesome than he thought, and he is definitely a guy he can't afford to provoke!
"Damn Harley Quinn, she found a backer again so quickly!" The penguin cursed in his heart.
He originally thought that the clown was dead, and a Harley was not worth his attention at all, but he didn't expect Harley to follow a more ruthless ...... If he had known that Raymond had this kind of background, and he had a bad head before he put something cruel there, wouldn't it be nothing to do?
Thinking of this, the penguin man quietly glanced at the man next to him, and when his man came over, he whispered a few words in his ear.
After hearing this, the subordinates nodded, and then quietly left.
This move made Congressman Harrison's heart tighten, and he subconsciously thought that the penguins had some kind of conspiracy.
Raymond and the others naturally noticed the penguin's actions, but they didn't care and continued to communicate on their own.
"Not enough."
After listening to Amanda's proposal, Raymond said lightly.
Amanda did not show any displeasure when she heard this, and continued, "The Monroe family will be purged from us, and they will never have the opportunity to get involved in politics or business again, and they will pay the price for Lanzel's decision......
"It's still not enough." Raymond was unmoved.
Amanda paused, and then said, "We will use all our resources to raise Mr. Floyd's daughter, make her a true upper-class person in Gotham at all costs, and, when she reaches adulthood, she will take Lanzel's place as one of the seven core members of the Supreme Council!" ”
Hearing this, the penguin people gasped!
He wasn't a hillbilly who hadn't seen the world, and with his status and power, there weren't many things that could surprise him.
But hearing Amanda's successive 'conditions for reparation' still made him have a feeling that he was hallucinating.
When did the behemoth of the 'Owl Court' become so easy to talk to?
Just because of an unsuccessful decision, he had to abolish one of his core decision-makers, and even did not hesitate to carry out a major purge of this core decision-maker, and took the initiative to let a young girl take the place of the purged core decision-maker.
Was this really the 'Owl Court' he knew?
