A good-looking housekeeper introduced the two into the interior of the manor, just as it looked from the outside, and it was a bit too low-key for anyone who could own such a quick territory.

Villa, second floor......

"The master is waiting for you inside." She bowed slightly and said.

Quinn shrugged his shoulders and walked inside.

Old Joey naturally followed, but the maid reached out to stop Old Joey.

"Sir, my lord said, he saw Miss Quinn alone...... The back kitchen has already prepared food for you, so please come with me. ”

Old Joy cast an inquiring look at Quinn, who nodded as well, signaled Old Joy to leave him alone, and turned around and pushed open the door in front of him.

And the scene inside the door really surprised him.

Originally, she thought that this would be a study, or a reception room or something, but she didn't expect that it would be a dimly lit place similar to a ward, with a large bed in the middle, some infusion bottles hanging at the head of the bed, and a weak breathing sound came from the bed.

There must have been a person lying there, but the shadow shrouded it, and it was impossible to see clearly.

Quinn subconsciously touched the wall and wanted to find the light in this room......

"It's been a long time...... Gone......" The voice suddenly rang out, although it was very soft, and it changed its timbre slightly, but Quinn could hear that this person was the former owner of the "Iceberg Restaurant", Oswald Chesterfield Copote, that is, "Penguin Man".

"Uh, yes, it's been a long time, where's your light here?" Quinn asked casually.

"There are no lights here." The penguin man replied.

"Huh? Why? ”

There was a brief silence......

"Pullley syndrome ——— a congenital disease, you know, I was born with a deformity, this disease prevented my body from developing properly, and after the age of 45, my organs began to deteriorate, and gradually I had to move in a wheelchair, and on my 60th birthday, I fell asleep in this bed...... And after that day, I couldn't get up again...... I couldn't even see too much light because my retina couldn't handle it. ”

He said lightly, as if he was telling a story.

Quinn was stunned for a moment.

Indeed, she knew that the penguin man was a congenitally deformed person, but in her impression, this deformed fellow, in addition to his penguin-like appearance, seemed to be a powerful person full of wisdom and forbearance, strong business acumen, and not afraid of all ruthlessness.

These attributes have gradually made people forget that he is a vulnerable group with congenital diseases.

"Oh...... This...... It's unfortunate. Quinn said, "And, you've ...... Are you 60 years old? ”

In the shadows, there was a faint laugh: "Haha, it's 63 years old, you've been gone for 40 years, in fact...... I didn't expect to see you again. ”

"What?" Quinn was startled, and an idea slammed into her head: "You say...... I'm leaving? What is the meaning? ”

"It's just leaving, last time you left this world...... You're the kind of person who is out of time, right, after all, after all these years, you're still so young. The penguin man said, "The last time you came, I was just a small character in the family who couldn't hold your head up, and it was you who broke into my restaurant and helped me take everything from the Copotes, without you...... I don't have this now. ”

Listening to these words, Quinn's mind buzzed, and a sense of absurdity burst out that things were not human.

Could it be that this plane is the same as the Gotham I came to last time? It's just a different point in time?

"You...... As if surprised. The penguin's voice came.

Quinn smiled helplessly: "Hehe, yes, I didn't expect me to come back again, but...... But after so long, you know, in my consciousness, actually, only a few months have passed. ”

"Time can be confusing, but as you said, you have your consciousness, so we're just a myriad of passers-by in your experience." The penguin man said that he was more like an old man in his old age than he had been.

"But I know you'll always come back, so I'm waiting for you, and after all these years, I want to say thank you."

Quinn exhaled and calmed his thoughts: "You're welcome, at that time, we just took what we needed." ”

"Of course...... I don't like to mix emotions in buying and selling. The penguin man said, "So, what are you here for?" ”

Quinn thought for a moment: "Like last time, I want people, people who can completely listen to me." ”

"Ha-" the penguin man smiled, "It's not the same as it was 40 years ago, since Superman took control of the world, the power of the gangsters has been almost cleansed, and I'm just a businessman now." ”

Quinn nodded, "Okay......"

"However, although I don't have gangster men, I ...... I'm a businessman, but I still have countless employees, and these employees ...... There's a lot you can do for me. ”

The penguin man said suddenly.

"Huh." Quinn smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, you're going to have to bargain again, right?" ”

"Of course, even though my current property is due to you, but I also said that I do business without emotion......"

"Hmm." Quinn responded, "Then how many people can you give me." ”

"How many? Haha – I have a lot of 'employees', mostly ...... What do you have? ”

Quinn was silent for a moment, she had almost nothing now, although she also wanted to go over and rob a bank before she came, but such a risk was too great, and making such a big disturbance would definitely cause those [cosmic elements] to think.

"I know, you don't have anything." The penguin man laughed, "But...... If you promise me two things, then I may give you some manpower. ”

"What's the matter?" Quinn asked.

"The first thing, you've got to come over first...... Penguin said.

When Quinn heard this, she walked to the head of the bed, and in the dim shadows, she saw that Mr. Copote, who was once short but whose name resounded throughout the underworld, had aged and did not look good.

"Then, I want you to press this ...... for me," the penguin man struggled as he handed a remote to Quinn.

Quinn took the remote control in confusion, and there was only one button on it.

"What is this?" Quinn asked.

"This kind of question doesn't make sense...... If you want someone, then press it, and if you don't want to, give it back to me, and walk out of that door. Cobot said, reading between the lines, it seems that you can still feel the unbeatable spirit of the year.

Quinn gave him a slap in the shoulder, "Okay." She said, and then pressed the button.

The next second.

"The ...... of the life support system is closed"

An electronic voice suddenly sounded, and the infusion set at the head of Copote's bed slowly stopped, and the oxygen pipeline seemed to be quiet.

This scene seems to be a bit unexpected by Quinn: "How...... What's going on? ”

Cobot smiled, "It's nothing, actually...... The moment I lay in bed, I couldn't find the meaning of living anymore, but there was a little wish that hadn't been fulfilled yet, so I thought, wait...... Now that my wish has come true, it's time for me to go. ”

"But ......"

"Second thing!" Copote interrupted Quinn, "I want you to go out, close the door, and leave me alone for a while." ”

Quinn stood silently on the edge of the bed, watching the old man slowly close his eyes...... The gesture is very satisfying.

So, Quinn nodded and walked out of the room.

Outside the door, the beautiful maid stood quietly, as if waiting for Quinn to come out of the room.

"Excuse me, did you press that button?" She bowed politely and asked.

Quinn hesitated and nodded.

The maid was silent for a second, then bowed again: "Miss Quinn, from now on, the Copote family, listen to your dispatch." ”

She said......

The moment he raised his head, Quinn seemed to see that the corners of her eyes were a little red.
