"Goodbye, Mr. Falcone. You've made my trip so fast. ”

Leo waved goodbye to the tall old man at the airport and watched him sit in the car.

The old man, Camene Falcone, was quite talkative along the way.

Especially when it comes to Gotham, it's even more gushing.

From all kinds of interesting anecdotes of the last century, to the rise and fall of several major families, all kinds of hidden or interesting anecdotes about the past are at your fingertips.

The old man claimed to have grown up in Gotham and watched it transform from a rural town to a bustling city.

Immigrants from England, savage and ignorant Indians, and lavish shipping merchants, among others.

These words from Falcone's mouth are so real and dreamy.

It makes you feel as if you have witnessed it yourself, as if a vivid picture unfolds in front of your eyes.

The old man said that he had been wandering outside for a while, and wanted to go home to see the changes in Gotham at the end of his life.

"I've noticed that you haven't spoken since Mr. Falcone introduced himself."

Leo turned his head to look behind him at Floyd Lawton, the death shooter who had been silent along the way.

It's not like the previous style of chattering at all.,I like to say those unnutritious jokes.。

"Boss, do you know who he is? Camene Falcone, the Romans of Gotham! ”

Lawton's throat rolled, and he followed Leo into the car, and said in a deep voice, "When I was a kid, the Gotham Times would have a lifestyle section called 'Gotham Impressions.'" ”

"In this column, randomly selected citizens of Gotham are asked to complete a sentence in three or fewer words, 'What is Gotham?'...... The Gotham Times has been publishing this column for many years, since I was a child. ”

"The words that people used to use to describe Gotham were 'damned,' 'cursed,' 'crazy,' 'sinful,'...... Later, the citizens of Gotham gradually used a certain villain as an answer, and at that time there were new words every day, because the villains of Gotham were always endless. ”

Lawton couldn't help but smile when he said this.

He grew up on the island of Naiho, one of the worst places in Gotham.

There is no daylight, and there are many criminals, like hell on earth.

"I remember a lot of interesting answers, like 'Gotham is a tramp', which means the city is poor and miserable, and 'Gotham is a prostitute', which is a mockery of its debauchery and lack of dignity. There was an answer that no one dared to say, or publish in the newspapers, but that answer was well received by everyone, whether it was on the island of Naho or on the Upper East Side, and the phrase was privately circulated - 'Gotham is Roman'! ”

"That old man used to be the biggest ruler of Gotham, and all the gangsters had to bow down to him, and for thirty years, Gotham was shrouded in the shadow of the Romans, and people said that the city of night was the 'Roman Empire' he built."

Lawton remembers all of this vividly, even though he was just a kid at the time.

"Is that so? I think 'Gotham Impressions' will soon have another interesting answer. ”

Leo looked out the window of the car at the scenery of high-rise buildings and buildings, like a huge jungle of steel and concrete.

The traffic is like a dragon and the pedestrians are weaving, which looks prosperous and lively.

But he knew that wasn't what Gotham really was.

When night falls and darkness covers the land, the city reveals its true nature.

A complex and changeable Sin City.

…………

"That old guy from Falcone is back!"

The fist slammed into the table, making the cups and plates clange.

Under the warm lighting, the smoke slowly drifts away.

Maroni wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

Camene Falcone, it's a name that's about to be forgotten by everyone.

For many years, everyone knows that the Romans once ruled the city for thirty years!

All of Gotham's illegal business must be "tributed" to the esteemed Lord Falcone, otherwise it will not survive.

And Maroney is one of them.

"Falcone is already old, what can he make waves? Since he chose to leave Gotham, coming back at this time will not change anything. ”

Furneki, a henchman sitting across from him, said.

The lean man in the leather jacket didn't understand what his boss was worried about.

That's right, Falcone did rule Gotham before.

All the gangsters either joined his "Roman Empire" or were exterminated and suppressed.

But that was a thing of the past, as Maroni, along with several of the Gotham-Underworld families, took advantage of Falcone's betrayal to overthrow the Roman's hard-line rule.

They snatched their own territory and business from each other's hands.

No more looking at the old guy's face in Ercone, and no need to "pay tribute" to anyone.

This stalemate lasted for a long time, and everyone from the rich and famous in Gotham to the street gangsters thought that there would be a bloody and tragic war.

But who would have thought that Falcone chose to leave Gotham and hand over the territory and business to others.

At that time, many people said that the Romans were old and had lost their former ambitions.

"You know what! Falcone is a lion who can bite anyone who provokes him, even if he is old now. ”

Maroni glanced at Furneki, as if as a warning and a reminder.

His subordinates have no other merit than loyalty.

My head is full of muscles, and I don't know how to think at all.

"But you're not wrong about one thing, it's not Falcone's time anymore."

Maroni took a sip of red wine, and after a long period of business after the Romans left Gotham, he finally owned the Sopranos with his name as the prefix.

The Maroni Family!

He, along with the funny penguin and the newly rising Black Mask, govern the city's underworld.

"Gotham can't accommodate a fourth person in power, not to mention Falcone won't be subservient, presumably that penguin, and Black Mask have also received the news."

Maroni's thoughts kept turning, and her restless heart gradually calmed down.

If the Roman just wanted to go home, they could turn a blind eye, give due respect, and do nothing as if nothing had happened.

But if Falcone wanted to rebuild his Roman Empire, no one would agree!

All the Sopranos will join forces to kick out the old guy who has been sitting on the throne of Gotham for thirty years again!

"It seems that the news media is more interested in Bruce Wayne than Falcone's return."

Maroney glanced at the television as Gotham's son of heaven returned after seven years of disappearance.

The news had been dominating the headlines for several days, and people seemed to be particularly interested in the sole heir to the Wayne family.

"It's just a playboy, I heard that I slept with several hot chicks when I came back,-rich man!"

Furneki said viciously, picking up a smoked elbow from the plate on the table and nibbling on it.

Bruce Wayne...... Someday, we, too, will be respected in Gotham, just like the Wayne family. ”

Maroni snorted, his ambitions were more than just a gangster boss.
