25. The New Order
In the end, Cyber was not embarrassed to drive away the handsome silver-gray limited edition Lamborghini, the disguise tool of Playboy State Bruce, one of the reasons was that the design concept of that car was not practical, and it was too stylish to drive, and Cyber did not like this feeling
So he drove away in a low-key Dodge SUV, his favorite black, full of power, and most importantly, there were two hidden compartments in the compartment, just enough to put away the armor and gun knives, and when he returned to the "Hawk Villa" in the docklands, it was noon, and there was still music in the white villa.
It was his younger brother Kevin entertaining his two "girlfriends".
After the big battle, it needs to be relaxed, and Cyber doesn't mind Kevin's wandering form, this kid has already proven himself in previous battles, he has broken through the shackles of self-fear, at least on a mental level, he is already a qualified fighter.
The rest can be cultivated slowly, and Cyber's trip is imminent, Kevin can just use this time to recuperate, and he also contacted two injured mercenaries who stayed in Gotham to teach him some basic tactics, at least learn to use firearms.
Cyber drove the new car into the garage, he opened the door and walked out, he didn't know what the use of letting Kevin learn this, but he needed help, there was no doubt about it.
On the first night he entered Gotham, he saw the news from his father's newspaper about Wayne Industries injecting capital into the dock area and trying to revitalize the economy here, so the Wayne family simply gave 5% of the shares of the soon-to-be-established dock company to Cyber, which is a lot of money, and the most important thing is that as long as Wayne Industries does not die suddenly, just with these shares, Cyber can have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.
Of course, this is still far from being rich and rich, but at least it has freed him from that kind of duckweed-like life.
"Head, you're back, do you want a drink?"
Kevin was holding a can of wine and leaning against the side of the garage, his arm still had a thick bandage, but it didn't affect his movements, but judging from his slightly flushed face, the kid was already 3 points drunk, and it seemed that he was having a good time with the two chicks he met at Bruce's birthday party.
Cyber shook his head, opened the back door of the car, and shouted as he packed up his things,
"Kevin, take the box down in my room and settle your friend, I have something to say to you. ”
"Okay, head, you wait a minute!"
After a few minutes, the loud music in the room stopped, and Kevin walked into the garage with some difficulty with a large suitcase in one hand, handed it to Cyber, and then stood quietly aside.
Kevin's senses are complicated for Cyber as a person, at first they are enemies, then they are collaborators who trade information with each other, and finally they become companions again, especially after the end of the war 4 days ago, Kevin also has a mixed feeling of gratitude and fear for Cyber.
Gratitude is because Cyber avenged Ed, and fear is because the more time he spends with Cyber, the more he can feel the complexity and mystery of this person, and the strong oppression that has been, just like the feeling of a new employee facing an unsmiling boss.
Cyber reached out and lifted the big box and put it in the trunk of the car, it was the salute he had prepared yesterday, a few clothes, the passport that the old man had obtained for him, etc., he pulled the back compartment down, then took out his wallet, and handed Kevin the black bank card he had received from Jamie,
"This is the money for your activities during the period of my absence, not much, but enough to last until I come back. ”
Kevin took the card, he didn't speak, but he instinctively sensed that Cyber had something else to talk to him, and a few seconds later, Cyber lit two cigarettes for himself and Kevin, and the two smokers sat on the green wooden box in the corner, whispering something else as they swallowed the clouds.
"We killed Ducard, but we all know that we didn't completely destroy the Shadowwarriors. ”
Cyber flicked the cigarette ash in his hand and reached out to pat Kevin's shoulder,
"This city is still there, according to the way those people act, they will come again sooner or later, at that time, it is time for you to avenge your brother's blood hatred, others will avenge you, where is the pleasure of your personal revenge?"
"Head, don't slap my wound next time, it hurts!"
Kevin covered his arms and grinned, then he took off the cigarette butt from the corner of his mouth and put it on the ground to extinguish it.
"I know, I'll ask those two veterans for advice, next time, I'll come in person!"
It's only been less than a week, Kevin's mental state has changed drastically, and Cyber, who was quietly observing him, nodded, this is the real battle and victory, the changes that can be brought to a young man, after experiencing death and killing, he has truly become an adult!
His inner child died when Ed was shot, and under Cyber's guidance, on top of the corpse, a real man stood up.
"Good!"
Cyber stood up, he patted the non-existent dust on his body, and said to Kevin, "In the future, the docks will also have our share, you can find a few trustworthy friends during this period of time, and ask those two veterans for tactics, I don't want me to come back and see another guy like Jamie in the docklands that has finally quieted down." ”
With a swipe of his hand,
"You can use the weapons here, but don't get into trouble, Director Gordon isn't a good talker. ”
Kevin nodded and straightened up,
"I see, head, I will guard this place for you, no one can set foot in your territory!"
"It's us!"
Cyber glanced at him, shook his hand and threw him a cigarette,
"Remember, Brother Kevin, you are a free man, we are all free, no one is worth everything from you, not even me, I'm not interested in these things, but if you run well enough, you can also become one of the big bosses in the darkness of this city, with the Wayne family here, as long as it's not too out of line, no one will come to us for trouble. ”
Cyber kept the sunglasses on his chest on his face, covering the small half of his face, and he waved his hand at Kevin,
"As long as you don't forget why you came to me, don't forget the oath you made to Ed, all right, I'm leaving, don't forget to check out the Old Gun Bar, the workers are redecorating it, don't let it mess with it again, or Daddy will really kill me." ”
Kevin froze for a moment until the black SUV drove out of the garage and disappeared at the end of the road, he let out a breath, Kevin sniffled, then scratched his head again, and finally reached out to open the green wooden box beside him, which contained 10 brand new black pistols neatly arranged.
He took a handful from it, put it on the lid, rubbed it with his fingers, felt the cold temperature of the weapon in his hand, and a flame appeared in his eyes, it was a thought, and it was also an idea inspired by Cyber's words, and as soon as Pu appeared, it could no longer be eradicated.
That kind of flame, called ambition.
Gotham's Dark Boss?
Kevin pursed his lips, the young man thought the idea was very cool, and Cyber also said that he couldn't live just for revenge, and finally became the assistant of the "Red Devil", and had a big fight with the difficult Shadow Warrior, after his hands were stained with blood, he also needed to have his own life and future, didn't he?
And just as Cyber was happily humming a song and driving on the intercontinental highway to Star City, another being, whom he had almost forgotten, stood in front of another gate, ready for an unpredictable fate in the future.
"Bang"
The delicate mahogany door was pushed open, and a guy with a sack on his head was dragged into the house by two well-trained soldiers and thrown on a gorgeous carpet, and the soldiers then left, leaving the room with only the guy who was struggling to remove the sackcloth bag on the floor, and a middle-aged man sitting behind the desk in front of him.
Jamie, with a bruised and swollen face, struggled to remove the burlap pocket from his head, gasping for breath, his face still stained with beatings and bloodstains, the gangster had been in trouble along the way since he left Gotham a week ago.
He traveled all the way to Canada with his younger brother Boshkin, who was still being treated, to join the powerful Russian gangs here, but on the night he first settled, a group of black-clad soldiers with loaded guns rushed into the room and kidnapped him and his unconscious brother.
The next 3 days were a series of interrogations, in a completely dark house, with only a bright lamp, and after a series of questions and interrogations, Jamie had completely lost his sense of time, but for those questions about the biggest secret in his heart, the Siberian who had grown up in the ice and snow chose to remain silent.
For this, he almost paid with his life.
Jamie, who had escaped death, lay on the ground, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who was slowly sorting out his papers, the guy was wearing a brown jacket with a black sweater inside, short messy brown hair on the top of his head, a pair of rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a wrinkled face, as well as a constantly serious beard, which gave him a kind of momentum that was not angry and arrogant.
This should be a military man.
"So, Mr. Jamie Clowen, right?"
The man asked in a gentle tone, and Jamie took a deep breath, the gangster who had been in the United States for more than a decade tried to calm himself down, and after a few seconds, he nodded hard,
"Yes, it's me, you are?"
"First of all, I'm the head of this place, you can call me General Stryker. ”
The middle-aged man sitting behind the wooden table took off his glasses and propped his hands on his chin, he looked at Jamie, and without much tactfulness, he said his purpose,
"I'm sorry to invite you here in this way, but I'm in a hurry, tell me the story of this letter!"
Stryker gently threw out a yellowed letter in his hand and landed on the stall, Jamie didn't have to look at it, he knew what Stryker really wanted to ask, he took a deep breath again, he stared at Stryker, who looked very good at talking, and said word by word,
"What you want is about the origin of this letter, right?"
"This is what Boshkin and I found 27 years ago, when we were teenagers, when we were still living in a mountain village in the deepest part of the Great Siberian Plain, on an accidental hunt, on a cliff near our hometown, it was very valuable, and we tried to find the "base" mentioned in this letter, but we found nothing, but I am sure that it is hidden near that cliff back then, and you want to find it, right?"
Stryker looked at the miserable Russian in front of him with a cold gaze, he heard a hint of firmness in Jamie's tone, and after weighing the weight of the two in his heart, a smile appeared on the corner of Stryker's mouth, and he said openly,
"Of course, I'm curious about where the Soviet Union's Super Soldier Program is based, so what, Mr. Jamie, will you tell me where that cliff is?"
"Cure my brother Boshkin, he is still very young, he should not live in that pathetic and cowardly posture, I have only this one request!"
Jamie struggled to his feet, the pain in his body made him tremble, but he gritted his teeth and said, "The day I saw Boshkin get better, I would immediately take you to that place, and I can guarantee that even if you find my and Boshkin's hometown, you will have a hard time finding that cliff in the vast snowy fields, but I can... When I left there, I left behind some signs that only I could understand. ”
Stryker nodded noncommittally, he reached for his glasses, then stood up and reached out to Jamie,
"I just looked at Mr. Boshkin's injury report, tsk, severe concussion, comminuted fracture of the finger, contusion of the spine, and most of all, damage to brain tissue, which doesn't look like a fall... If necessary, I can use a little "means" to avenge poor Mr. Boshkin. ”
Jamie's eyes lit up, and he reached out to take Stryker's hand,
"That couldn't be better!"
"Very well, Mr. Jamie! Congratulations, being part of Project Weapon X!"
