Parker was stunned.

He watched Joey swing the rusty pig-killing knife, and even had a confident expression on his face, as if he had some precious treasure in his hand.

This almost mentally retarded appearance made Parker's heart jump to his throat, because he was afraid that Mr. Falcone would think that he had brought a psychosis and killed himself in anger.

So he timidly glanced at Falcone next to him, and then opened his mouth even more in disbelief, because he saw the famous "Romans...... He nodded in satisfaction.

"You mean, you're going to use this knife to help us storm the Arkham Asylum?" Falcone asked, "With all due respect, do you know what Arkham Asylum is?" ”

Joey didn't even think about it: "I don't know! ”

Parker cried, tears streaming down his stomach, and he was even hesitating to die right now.

But it didn't work out......

"Hahaha-" Mr. Falcone suddenly laughed a little more presumptuously, "What an interesting answer, I wonder why you are so confident in that knife." ”

"Oh, that's what you ask." Joey muttered, "Because this knife once cut the Hongqiao of the Path of Exile, I think he should be able to split the door of that madhouse as well." ”

......

No one knew what the hell this not-so-brained creature was talking about, so for the next few seconds, no one spoke, only old Joey, who didn't realize anything, and would put the knife back into his waist.

"That's good!" Mr. Falcone's voice broke the silence suddenly. “...... I believe you. ”

"Haha, of course you can believe me, old Joey never panics."

"Then we're done!" Mr. Falcone seemed satisfied, and he clapped his hands: "Someone take my friend Mr. Joy to the guest room to rest, we have a big deal to do today!" ”

When Joey heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then turned around very slyly and leaned forward: "I haven't had breakfast yet." ”

Mr. Falcone smiled......

Parker had been in the "Roman Empire" for many years, but he had never seen Mr. Falcone smile so confidently, and even a little inexplicably excited.

"Hahaha - didn't have breakfast...... It's amazing, it's amazing...... I haven't seen such an admirable figure as Mr. Joy in seven or eight years. Mr. Falcone said with a smile, then opened his arms: "This is one of the best hotels in Gotham City, and you can use everything here if you want, including food, of course." ”

"Hahaha - you're a good guy!" Joey laughed too......

Mr. Falcone, the leader of the "Roman Empire" in Gotham City, and a scruffy pig farmer who calls himself Old Joey ended a conversation that he didn't know what to call at all, and laughed across a table......

Parker pouted slightly, his face dazed.

......

Soon, Old Joy was ushered out of the dining room, and only Parker and Mr. Falcone were left.

"Ask......" said Mr. Falcone with a smile.

Parker next to him was full of excitement, he did have a lot of problems, after all, these two people are too confusing, and this kind of psychology naturally can't escape Falcone's eyes.

So Parker mustered up his courage: "Mr. Falcone, I don't quite understand why you trust this man, I think he ...... There seems to be something wrong with the spirit. ”

Falcone regained his polite look: "yes...... He may indeed be a madman, but ...... Maniacs tend to give people the most unbelievable results. It's like the man many years ago, everyone thought that the madman would be slaughtered the next day and then die on the streets, but ...... He was so alone that he became the emperor of the whole Gotham. ”

Parker shook his head out of his mind, "You mean...... That joker, he's powerful, but ...... Everyone knows that you are the most powerful lord in the city. ”

Falcone smiled: "It's true that the 'Roman Empire' has the most people, the most powerful, and the richest, but ...... Do you know why that person didn't have any of that in the end? ——— because he doesn't care. ”

Parker stood stupidly in place, he didn't understand how anyone could not care about money and power.

"Crazy people are crazy people, but that's just that we don't understand them yet, they have their own world...... His own pursuit, as if it were this Mr. Joy, I know his words are ridiculous...... I don't know what the pig killing knife or the path of exile is, but that doesn't stop me from trusting him. ”

"I ...... I don't understand! ”

"You don't need to understand." Falcone laughed, "Actually, I don't understand, but I know that this world is not just Gotham...... The world is too big, there is Joker, there is Batman, then of course there are more things we don't understand, and sometimes I even wonder if there is not just one thing in the world, but tens of thousands, and in this way, no matter how hard I try to pursue power, it will not help in the end...... It's like the person named Ziliang said, if this world is just a book and a story, then I am just a second-rate character after all. ”

Parker looked at the person in front of him incredulously, following him for many years, making him think that he already knew each other well, but at this moment, he felt that the "Roman" he had always admired was not the head of a criminal empire at all, but seemed to be more like a strange philosopher...... Or a madman.

"What's your name?" Falcone's words abruptly interrupted Parker's thoughts.

"Pa...... Parker. ”

"Well, Parker, tonight the 'Roman Empire' will wield all its forces to bring a carnival to Arkham Asylum...... And you, will be the leader of this carnival. ”

"What!" Parker shouted, he couldn't believe his ears, of course he understood what the sentence meant: "But...... Why, I'm just a little gangster, a character who doesn't get into the flow. ”

"Hahaha-" Falcone smiled, "From tonight onwards, you won't be anymore." ”

"But, but ......"

"No, but." "You know," said Falcone, "that was the case with my father, who gave me the reins of the 'Roman Empire' at the party on the day I graduated from college, and I didn't even fight. He told me...... Everyone has their own story, and everyone plays their part......"

Falcone raised his head and looked squarely at Parker: "So, what we are pursuing should not be the so-called glorious protagonist, but the desire in our hearts." I was able to meet Ziliang because of you, and this conversation with Joey was also because of you, if this is a story, then I think you are the one who runs through the whole story, so ...... I think you're the most suitable person for tonight's, now you just have to tell me your heart's desires, think! Still don't want to! ”

Parker's brain was buzzing...... He took a few deep breaths, but still couldn't stop his trembling......

"Yes!"
