7. Gotham gangs unite as a family [6/100]
"Bang"
Harvey threw the port entry and exit book in his hand in front of Kevin, who looked ugly, and said with a mocking face, "Tsk, a gift for Mr. Nicholas, ha? 1500 assault rifles, 200 bullets, can blow up half of Gotham's explosives and grenades, I also saw missiles, Mr. Kevin, is your good friend Nicholas preparing to start a fight?"
"You..."
Steve was about to rush up with anger on his face, but was stopped by Kevin, the boss of the Devils Gang glanced at Harvey, he took a deep breath, turned around, and waved his hand at the Devil Gang who were gathered outside a few containers, and they were like great enemies.
"What are you doing here?"
This action made Harvey raise his eyebrows, but soon, the evil faces of the gang left obediently, but the ugly gestures and swearing words they made several prosecutors who followed Harvey have angry expressions on their faces.
Kevin dispersed the others, he pulled his phone out of his pocket, dialed in front of Harvey, turned on the sound playback, and placed it on the table, a moment later, a lazy voice came out.
"What's the matter? Kevin. β
"Boss, the prosecutor, Mr. Harvey, is now accusing us of smuggling and arms trafficking, and he does not want to hear me explain about the "gifts" given to Mr. Nicholas. β
Kevin said in his usual tone, silent for a few seconds on the microphone, and then spoke again,
"Then invite Mr. Harvey and the prosecutors to the bar, I'll be waiting for them here... Are you listening? Mr. Harvey, come over here and I'll give you a reasonable explanation. β
Kevin turned off his phone and stood up,
"Please, gentlemen. β
Harvey Dent took a deep breath, "Seber Hawke?"
Kevin glanced back at him and said in a cold tone,
"Don't you want to see him? β
Five minutes later, Harvey and several other prosecutors sat on the chairs of the bar, Kevin sat at the door of the bar, and after a while, Cyber, who was still wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen, he waved the wooden spatula in his hand, and said to the people who were watching him,
"Uh, sorry, I was just preparing breakfast for the kids, by the way, you're Harvey, Gotham's Knight of Light, right?"
Harvey looked at the tall guy in front of him, 190 height, the body of a craftsman, yellow skin, black hair, a voice with a hint of a California accent, and those eyes that were always squinting, he wore an apron, which looked a little funny, but when he was seen by those eyes, Harvey felt like he was being stared at by a beast.
It wasn't the first time he had seen Cyber, but it was definitely the first time he had such a peaceful exchange with Cyber, and he placed his left hand in his chair and said with gentle anticipation,
"Mr. Cyber, about that smuggled weapon..."
"Wait! Mr. Harvey. β
Cyber took off his apron casually and looked at Harvey with some confusion, "Smuggling?
He looked at Kevin again, "Kevin, have you been smuggling lately?"
"No, Boss, we never smuggle!"
Kevin replied, and Cyber nodded with satisfaction, "That's good, smuggling is a bad thing, or it's illegal, you don't do these bad things." β
He turned his head, looked at Harvey, and spread his hands,
"Look, we're not smuggling, are we?"
"Click"
Harvey's fists clenched, and he looked at Cyber with an ugly face, "Are you kidding me?" Mr. Cyber, those weapons slots have "gifts" written on them, such a huge number of weapons, do you think one or two sentences can be mixed up?"
"But that's really a "gift"!"
Cyber walked into the bar, took out a stack of receipts from a drawer, and placed them in front of Harvey, "Look, that's the "civilian supplies" I bought from the weapons dealers of Stark Industries for the workers in the docklands in the name of a private person, this is a country where guns are not banned, and the security in Gotham is so bad, we need weapons to protect ourselves, my Attorney, do you think there is a problem with me doing this?"
Harvey took the receipts, and he flipped through the pages, and it was true that the firearms had been purchased in the names of different people, and even the full invoices and the stamps of the firearms dealers, and from this point of view, it was clear that illegal arms trafficking was not established.
But still feeling humiliated by his intelligence, he looked up at Cyber, who shrugged his shoulders and said to the other prosecutors,
"You can go and check every gun, it's a semi-automatic weapon... We haven't broken a single law in this country... As for the gifts, the workers told me they didn't need those weapons, it was too violent, but I had already bought them and couldn't return them, so I kept them as my own and Kevin's collection, and now my friend needs them, I give them to him, and I don't even need him to pay for them, so is there a problem?"
"But that's 200 bullets!"
One prosecutor stood up and angrily retorted, "Are you fooling us?" Mr. Cyber, what man of normal intelligence would have a collection of 1,500 identical guns?"
Cyber glanced at him and said indifferently,
"We like to shoot guns, don't we?"
He looked at Harvey again, "Maybe I'm missing some business taxes, sorry, I'm very busy every day, so, Kevin, pay our taxes to the tax office now, don't bother me with these new things in the future, you know?"
After saying that, he sat his head in his chair, turned around, and put on his apron again, while still muttering to himself,
"A bunch of spicy chicken. β
"Mr. Cyber!"
Harvey stood up, he looked at Cyber's back, and said loudly, "I now suspect that your 'Asahi Things' will affect the stability of the entire Gotham, and I need to temporarily impound those containers!"
"I'm sorry, you can't detain it. β
Cyber shook his hand without looking back, "That container contains official purchases belonging to the Mexican government and several Central Asian countries, my gift is just a transshipment, if you want to seize the goods procured by foreign governments, you need to submit a more advanced application, yes, I'll be more straightforward, Mr. Harvey." β
"You can't control this matter!"
With that, he turned around and walked into the kitchen, leaving a few prosecutors dumbfounded, while Kevin pushed the door open, he picked up the walkie-talkie, and glanced at Harvey mockingly,
"Steve, get the ship at Pier 5 to set sail and the matter is settled. β
After saying that, he strode out, leaving Harvey and a few others with a solemn face, a few minutes later, Harvey's cell phone rang, he connected, and listened to Rachel report on the actions of Gordon, who also failed on the other side, and the double defeat and anger made Harvey smash the table in front of him, he glanced at the kitchen with the smell overflowing, and gritted his teeth.
"Let's go!"
That afternoon, in a hidden location in Gotham's West Quarter, the leaders of the 11 gangs gathered together like a congregation, their eyes full of good food and drink, the closest little brother around them, and beyond the house, there was a complete security force.
"Here, cheers!"
Wooltz, who was wearing a fancy shirt, was already a little drunk, he stood up and said loudly, "You don't see Gordon's old dog's face, hahaha, it's like eating X, hahaha, I want to laugh when I think of that face... I'm so happy, hahaha. β
"He thought his plan was seamless?"
The other guy raised his glass and shouted, "He doesn't even know how many of our guys are in his police station, and I can even hide the bomb under his ass if I want, hahaha." β
Everyone laughed wildly, like a group of demons dancing wildly, and soon, the door of this hidden place was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in a beige suit and a bow tie walked in, and a trace of disdain flashed on Woolz's face, but he still stood up and gave the guy a big hug.
"My brother Maloney, why are you here? Thank you so much this time, for thinning our money!"
"It's nothing. β
Maloney, who had always wanted to be the second Falconi, shook his hand casually, and he sat at the front of the table, "Everyone lives in Gotham, and they want to help each other, I just did what I had to do." β
The others also nodded, and some guys even applauded, everyone knew Maloney's thoughts, but no one would want to be swallowed up, but this time everyone did accept Maloney's love, and no one jumped out to sing the opposite, they said some meat jokes at will, and the atmosphere was extremely warm for a while.
"Speaking of which, man, where is our money now?"
Woolz asked intentionally or unintentionally, Maloney didn't think much of it, his left hand was placed next to his ear, rubbing his fingers gently, and he showed a helpless expression.
"I don't know..."
"What?"
Woolz's eyes widened, and he put down the wine glass in his hand, "You did all this, and now you say you don't know where the money goes? That's 800 million, my brother!"
Everyone stopped what they were doing, and they looked at Maloney, who snapped his fingers, and soon, the two guys were loaded with a TV in front of the table.
"I really don't know, all this is operated by Liu, Hofs is seriously injured and has not recovered, we can only leave it all to him. β
Liu is the owner of the accounting firm in charge of the gangster's bank, and he has also worked with the Gotham gang for several years, but Woolz frowned and said,
"Frankly, brother, I don't believe Liu, that guy is not as good as Hofs, he always does some tricks and hides all our money for him, can you rest assured?"
Maloney shrugged his shoulders, there was a hint of helplessness on his face, "I'm not worried, but what can we do? No one knows how to operate except him, let's see what Liu says." β
The TV was turned on, and a yellow face appeared on the TV, he looked at the 12 big guys in Gotham with a smile, and whispered,
"Don't worry, guys, your money is still in the United States, but I won't be able to tell you until this storm subsides... I've said a long time ago that it's a good idea to keep money together, hide it separately, and once one person gets caught, the rest of your money will be found and frozen... Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. β
"You are professional in bad things in law and economics, and we can trust you. β
Maloney glanced at the others, and said something against his will with a complacent expression, but he changed his words and asked,
"But what about the illegal "inquiries"? You've lived in Gotham for a couple of years, and you know who I'm talking about, Liu, do you have any good ideas?"
"You're talking about Batman, right?"
The young merchant said the name that was taboo for everyone, and he raised a glass of wine with a relaxed face, and shook it gently in his hand.
"I'm on the plane leaving the United States right now, and Batman is unstoppable in Gotham... But what if it's in another city, in another country? Don't forget my nationality, gentlemen, that's my advantage, isn't it? I'll go to the other side of the world, and I'll come back until everything is calm. β
As soon as Liu's words fell, another voice sounded accompanied by screams, and everyone, including Liu on TV, looked at the door, and they saw a strange guy in a dirty purple suit, black gloves, messy hair, white paint on his face, and a shocking red scar on the corner of his mouth, walking into this secret assembly with strange steps and humming a song.
"Oh hey hey haha
His gaze, heavily painted with black paint, swept over everyone present, and finally focused on Liu on the TV, and he let out a hoarse and low laugh, the irony of which was so strong that anyone could hear it.
"I didn't think my joke was funny, but I didn't expect you to say it here... It's 10,000 times worse than mine. β
