15. The Longest Night [14/100]
"Bang"
A grenade exploded outside the sturdy basement, the ground trembled with a violent tremor, and the Devil's Gang of madmen seemed to blow it to pieces, and the Gotham Mafia was raided, but they continued to fight, inspired by the boss.
The Bettinelli family is a branch of the old Sicilian mafia, one of the first mafia families to land in the United States, they have taken root in Gotham and do not control a large territory, but as an old gangster, they have great influence in Gotham City.
At the time of Falconi's existence, the Bettinelli family was a force that he had to deal with with with with caution, but after his death, Alfonso Bettinelli, the current patriarch of the Bettinelli family, wisely did not participate in this war for power.
It is precisely because of the Gotham Mafia's "prudent words and deeds" that they have become the least damaged force under the blow of Batman this year, and now in the chaotic downtown, the Bettinelli family is one of the best, but unfortunately, they still did not escape this catastrophe in the end.
For the crazy sworn revenge and the red-eyed who have already killed the red-eyed, it doesn't matter whether there is hatred or not, the madness of the Devil's Gang, under the guidance of Cyber, has burned the flame of fear to the heads of all the gangster forces, and Alfonso can't escape.
After all, theoretically, he was also one of the murderers who caused Kevin's serious injuries, and in Cyber's words, he was also one of those who let go of the leash.
"Use grenades! Get these madmen out!"
In the roar of gunfire and explosions in the villa, Alfonso, who was over 50 years old in a suit, brandished a pistol in his hand, and behind him was a statue of God, where he used to pray sincerely every night, yes, the Bettinelli family were sincere Catholics.
They have faith, and at the same time they're gangsters, doing evil things, and that's not a conflict, is it?
The dense rain of bullets pulled out a crazy roar in the air, Alfonso fought back in vain, and the next moment, the old man in front of him was like being hit by an invisible fist, and the whole person flew out towards the rear, blood splattered everywhere, and finally a young man could no longer bear this cruelty, he screamed and threw down the gun in his hand, and ran backwards.
"Bastard!"
"Bang"
The fleeing young man only ran a few steps before he was knocked to the ground by a bullet from behind, Alfonso changed his usual kind appearance, he still had blood on his face, and he looked extremely fierce, this gesture made his subordinates feel the firmness of his boss, and at the same time inspired them to be humble in their bones.
"I'll give you whatever you want when you get them out!"
The front and back roads of this house are blocked, and they can't get out, if they want to live, they can only defeat those attacking devil gang madmen, so these remnant thugs fought back more resolutely, and for a while the devil gang was defeated and retreated, they saw hope, so they didn't need Alfonso to inspire again, everyone burst out of their own strength.
Watching the Devil Gang guys being kicked out of the villa, Alfonso also had a smile on his face, but more worried and tired, his gaze would always be biased to the back of the villa where his subordinates could not see.
For the cunning gangsters, the Honor Death War doesn't belong to them, and there's a reason why Alfonso is so determined, and here are his family members who can't give up.
"Our heavenly Father, let your name be exalted, your kingdom come, and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Forgive us our sins, as we forgive others. Don't let us fall into temptation, but save us from evil. โ
In the inner room of the third floor of the villa, Alfonso's wife turned the rosary in her hand, and behind her were her children, and a beautiful girl in a long black dress, who looked to be 16 or 7 years old.
This is Helena, the dear one who returned to Gotham from Sicily three days ago, Alfonso's niece, who had planned to let Helena live in Gotham until the end of Christmas this year, and then send her to school in Switzerland, but now, he has drawn his poor niece into an impossible war.
War with arms dealers, oh my god, it's crazy.
"Boom"
An explosion that smashed into the central wall of the second floor and exploded interrupted Mrs. Alfonso's prayers, and the lights of the villa dimmed, and the children screamed, their eyes shining with fear.
If you change the time, it is simply the most realistic portrayal of those refugees in World War II, but the surrounding furnishings represent that they are still in the 21st century, a century of civilization, and it is hard to believe that this is a gangster struggle that takes place in a city.
This TM is simply a real battlefield.
"O God, is this the evil that you have brought upon the family of Bettinelli?"
Helena clutched a gun in both hands, and she couldn't help but mumble as she watched the fierce battle in the villa below.
She knew very well what her uncle had done, the drug epidemic in the lower town, the number of casinos, Bettinelli being the biggest loan shark in the area, the bankrupt people would be forced to work for them, and the women would be reduced to dust, which was not the business of a sincere churchman.
Gotham... No, are there really good gangsters in this world? Or is this the punishment they deserve?
She was born in a mafia family, her father was the leader of the Gotham mafia, but she didn't have a good feeling for all this, including her own relatives, she saw with her own eyes how his father was violent to her gentle mother, when she was 8 years old, how the whole family except her died in the revenge of the gang, she is 16 years old this year, she is very familiar with the affairs between the gangs, frankly, she really rarely sees such a tragic struggle.
But that doesn't mean Helena wants to die like this, there's fear in her eyes, and she doesn't want to die, she's still a child.
She saw her gray-haired uncle, who was nearly 50 years old, fighting back with the gang, and also saw the black-clothed men gathered outside the villa, armed with all kinds of weapons, throwing grenades into the villa, they looked like they wanted to blow it up completely, and less than two blocks away, was the busiest commercial street in the lower city.
Is this a battle that takes place in a 21st-century city?
"Boom"
Another explosion sounded in the courtyard, and the sudden shaking caused the two children to scream, and their mother tried to cover their mouths, but it was too late.
"It's not going to work! We're like chickens in a cage. โ
Helena took a deep breath, she looked at the helpless Madame Alfonso and shook her head, "I'll go down and have a look." โ
Although Helena did not want to admit it, the courage of the Bettinelli family was still in her body, and she walked quickly down the villa, which looked like a post-war ruin, and ran to Alfonso, the mafia leader who had been shot in the left arm and was being treated, Helena also knelt on the ground to help her uncle wipe the wound on his arm, despite the blood, as she asked.
"Uncle, who are they, and why are they attacking us?"
Faced with this question, the tired Alfonso glanced at the villa position that had been completely recaptured, there was a trace of regret in his eyes that could not be concealed, he sighed, and said softly,
"That's the Devils, the local Docklands gang, as for this attack, it's revenge, their leader was seriously injured last night, although it wasn't us who did it, but we... Hey, who would have thought that the revenge of the Devils would come so crazy. โ
"Can't you negotiate? Do you just let the subordinates of the family die like this?"
Helena said with a smile on her lips, and Alfonso glanced at her niece, who swayed.
He knew that this girl who was born in a gangster family had never had the slightest interest in the "cause" inherited by her family, and only had endless disgust, and this child's lifestyle was more like that of a nun, and perhaps in her eyes, she was just a hypocrite.
But now is not the time to talk about this, she is a relative after all.
"They didn't give us a chance to negotiate at all. โ
Alfonso waved his arm indifferently, feeling the pain, but he still struggled to get up, "Maxmosi is dead, old Tim is dead, Paris is captured, I'm the last, they didn't even think about negotiating, the 13 gangsters in Gotham, after tonight, there will only be 9 left..."
"This is a bunch of maniacs who have been released from the cage. โ
"Boom"
A loud explosion and flames at the door of the villa interrupted Alfonso and Helena's conversation, and when they looked up at the same time, they saw a dark red figure falling from the sky, a knife light broke through the flames, and fell steadily to the ground, not dodging the bullets fired by the people around them, holding a knife in one hand and a gun in the other, like a tiger into the mafia gang that was still holding on.
"Ahhh
"Hell, stay away from me!"
"Block!"
"Shoot! Shoot!"
The screams rang out at this moment, and the guy's movements were extremely fast, and in just a few seconds, he cut down three people, and their bullets hit the dark red figure, either splashing sparks, or not reacting at all, and couldn't even slow him down for even a moment.
Alfonso's face turned pale, his hands began to tremble, and he muttered to himself,
"The devil... The Devils... Red Devil!"
Helena also saw the guy who let him out of hell, saw the black knife in his hand, and the pistol that kept ringing, and every time he could put down a person, the amazing killing, so that the girl couldn't help but hold her uncle's arm.
She asked in a trembling voice,
"Who's that, uncle?"
"That's the Red Devil, that's a rumored man, I thought he didn't exist..."
Alfonso gritted his teeth, he turned his head to look at the pale Helena, and then looked up at the villa that was already full of holes, he strode forward, out of the line of defense accumulated with all kinds of debris, and it was at this moment, in the face of Cyber's crazy killing, those gangs who couldn't do anything about him completely collapsed.
They screamed and scattered, only to be chased and killed by the Devil's gang following Sei... Alfonso's guess was correct, Cyber and the entire Devil Gang didn't even think about staying alive, they were here to kill.
Cyber saw the guy in body armor who had stepped out of the line, it was Alfonso Bettinelli, the leader of the Gotham mafia, and one of his targets, he shook the long knife in his hand, walked forward, and kicked the corpse lying on the ground, but the next moment, the "corpse" let out a terrible laugh and pulled the tab in his hand.
"Boom"
Two bursting flames exploded in place, Alfonso stretched out his hands to block his face, and the whole person was pushed out by the exploded grenade, and the shrapnel scattered everywhere swept away everything within 20 meters of the center of the explosion, and the Devil Gang who followed behind Cyber was also engulfed in flames.
Hiding behind the defensive line, Helena, screaming with her head in her hands, poked her head out and looked in panic at the front of the devastated villa, which had been quiet, and she looked desperately at the dark red devil still standing in place.
Helena couldn't help but hold the cross on her chest, and she had a special premonition that this time, her beloved Lord would no longer have the power to save her.
"Cut, chopped!"
Cyber looked at the crack in the left arm of the armor that had been blown open, and saw the cracked, but rapidly recovering skin, he glanced back, the three brothers who followed him were no longer alive, he scolded indifferently, and then strode forward with the black straight-edged knife in his hand, and walked to Alfonso, who was lying on the ground gasping for breath.
"Is there anything else you would like to say? Alfonso Bettinelli, you murderer!"
Cyber looked at him condescendingly, holding the hilt of the knife with both hands, Alfonso opened his eyes with difficulty, just now two fragments of the explosion pierced his chest, life was quickly slipping away from this body, he couldn't live, he knew, he looked at the distorted dark red ghost face above his head, the corners of his mouth were covered with blood, but his hands grabbed Cyber's legs,
"My... Child... Please... Please, let go... Let them go... Please!"
"That's your last word?"
Cyber swayed, the long black knife in his hand stabbing down like lightning, and Alfonso's body struggled for a moment, and then completely lost its vitality.
"I'm not you... I know that it will not cause trouble to my wife and children, so go to hell with peace of mind, miscellaneous!"
Cyber wiped his blood-stained knife on Alfonso's clothes, and he glanced back at Helena, who was shivering in the ruins, and swayed as he swerved and walked into the darkness that had fallen silent again.
"Lord... Lord, is this your punishment?"
Seeing Cyber's figure disappear completely, Helena lost all her strength and collapsed to the ground, like a poor person who had been crushed and all her persistence.
God may exist, but at least in Gotham tonight, it is the devil who rules all of this.
