Chapter 20 Transactions
The Penguin Man is undoubtedly the best businessman in Gotham City, and after he was caught, he quickly established his own intelligence network, moving between prison guards and prisoners, from selling some gossip at first, to contracting all the beer, drinks, mineral water, peanuts, melon seeds, playing cards, and finally some prison guards called him Mr. Copote. Anyway, in just half a year, he became the most powerful prisoner in Arkham Asylum......
How powerful is he?
To name a few, he had two fresh live fish for every meal, his cell was well carpeted, he had his own gramophone and discs that were updated monthly, and his cigars were more expensive than Warden Quincy's.
Yes, the Penguin Man is such a businessman in the true sense of the word, in his eyes, as long as you are a human, you will fall into the abyss of profit, whether you buy arms in Gotham City, or sell your ass in Arkham Asylum, in short, as long as you have something to need, he can make your account clear.
……
So without further ado, after four hours, it's time for lunch.
Ziliang sat alone at a table. Since the spasms of the muscles had not been completely relieved, he could only tear the slices of bread slowly.
As for why you changed your dinner to a slice of bread...... Of course, it's because the bread slices can be dispensed with.
The spoon-poked prisoner in shock has not yet come to his senses, so no one knows how long the cutlery ban will last, but some well-informed sources say that the logistics department has purchased various flavors of butter and jam overnight...... Tons of the kind. This news is undoubtedly terrible news for the inmates of Arkham Asylum, but amazingly, few people seem to pay attention to it......
Because at this moment, something even more eye-catching is happening in the madhouse.
That is, the penguin man walked out of his luxurious cell, went to the cafeteria of the third prison block in person, and sat down across from Ziliang's table. This means that the penguins think that the newcomer is a troublesome person, and that trouble is ...... Naturally, you have to sort it out.
"Hello...... Ziliang. Penguin Man said.
His voice is very gentlemanly, if you close your eyes, you will never think that he is just a congenital deformity of less than 1.5 meters.
"My name is Oswald Chesterfield Copote. You can call me Mr. Copote. ”
Ziliang looked at the guy in front of him, who was not much taller than the table...... Slowly stuff a loaf of bread into your mouth. Although he didn't speak, he could clearly feel that his eyes, which seemed to be forever empty, were slightly refreshed.
"Well, I know you're a very smart man, and people like you won't say much until they get to know me thoroughly, but I'm going to show me what I mean." The penguin man smiled and said, "You're a little too ostentatious as a newcomer, and it's because of you, all of us are going to eat a slice of bread for a month, so I think I should come and remind you that Arkham Asylum is a warm and friendly place, and if you continue to mess around like this, you're likely to get into trouble, you know what I mean, right?" ”
After saying this, the penguin man immediately fell silent and stared at Ziliang, waiting for an answer.
"Uh......" Ziliang swallowed the bread in his mouth: "Although you speak very politely, but how do I think that as long as I give an answer that you don't like to hear, these brothers behind you will tear me up immediately?" ”
He said nonchalantly, and without hesitation, he pointed to the strong men sitting outside the tables.
The penguin man was slightly stunned: "So...... You've already seen that...... Hehe, is it because you remembered all the faces of the entire prison ward on the day you went to prison? ”
"I'm not that diligent." Ziliang said lazily: "Although those people are not from the same path as you, the people around you are staring at you in addition to staring at you, which is too obvious." ”
The penguin man seemed to be satisfied and nodded: "Very good, you are very observant, and as far as I know, a careful person like you should be very knowledgeable about current affairs, so ......"
"So how long have you been in Arkham Asylum?" Ziliang suddenly took over the conversation.
The penguin man frowned slightly: "Why do you ask this?" ”
"Nothing, just wanted to ask. If I'm not mistaken, you already knew why I was arrested before you came to see me, and you also knew why I was taken to the infirmary, otherwise you wouldn't be sitting here" Ziliang said: "You should have inquired about everything after I entered Arkham, but I only know your name, which is not fair. ”
"Hehehe-well, I'm a businessman, and my favorite word is fair, so I can reintroduce myself." The Penguin Man Says:
"You already know my name, I also have a very nasty nickname, it's 'Penguin', the person I killed the most in my life is the person who called it to my face, I was put in Arkham Asylum 8 years ago for arms trafficking, and I can tell you very clearly, I hate the precarious prison life, so from this second on, if I hear that you are causing me any more trouble, I will knock off your limbs, and then tie your face to the toilet toilet with your face against the wall."
"You're disgusting." When Ziliang heard the last paragraph, he leaked an obvious disgusting expression: "But anyway, you are the only person I have seen in the Arkham Asylum in the past few days who still has a brain...... So, I want to make a deal with you. ”
The penguin's brow furrowed even tighter, he had come to warn the newcomer to be honest, but as he spoke, the man named Ziliang actually turned the topic to making a deal with him.
Although he was disgusted by this kind of dialogue that deviated from the main line, he ...... Since you have a transaction, there is no reason not to listen to it, right, it should be considered an occupational disease.
"Okay, let's talk about it." The penguin man said professionally as he crossed his two fat hands on the table.
"I want to know...... What really happened 8 years ago? Ziliang's lazy and lazy voice was a little serious.
The penguin's expression did not fluctuate, but he stared at Ziliang and did not say a word for a long time.
And so it went for a few seconds...... "Hehehe-it seems that I still underestimate you, I know what you want to ask, I know a little bit about that, so the question is, what are your chips?" ”
"Chips~" Ziliang muttered: "In a few days, how about I take you with me when I demolish this prison?" ”
