103. Applause rang out

"Father, everything is ready."

It was a woman who walked into the study.

Sofia Falcone, the youngest daughter of the Romans.

She stepped on a pair of high heels, a white off-the-shoulder dress, and her full breasts loomed.

Black hair and red lips, combined with a tall figure, have a kind of arrogant and wanton beauty.

Any man must admit that this is a little wild cat that fits the definition of a "stunner".

However, when she stood in front of her father, she still subconsciously restrained her minions and ambitions, and became well-behaved and sensible.

Roman.

For Gotham, this title is a piece of past history and a symbol of power.

For decades, the entire city was under Falcone's rule.

This old man, sitting behind his desk, established the rules and order of the underground world.

During the day, singing and dancing are leveled, and there is nothing to do; At night, gangsters run rampant and unscrupulous.

In his left hand, Falcone held a bulging money bag and used political donations to entrap officials; Holding a Chicago typewriter in his right hand, he asserts his majesty.

If anyone chooses to resist, they will send those who don't know what to do with a bullet to hell.

At that time, Gotham was under a dictatorship of black violence.

It is not the mayor who really has the power to decide the future of the city, but the Romans who sit behind the scenes.

"Gotham is an impenetrable city."

Falcone glanced at his daughter Sophia and said with emotion.

He had only been away from the city for a long time before Gotham became strange.

The meteoric rise of Maroney and Colbert the Penguin is still to be expected.

But the kind of guy in the black mask, a madman who rules his hands by violence and fear.

There are no rules, no sense of honor.

Can such a person become the manager of the Gotham Underworld?

He is more like a madman in an illegal business than a gangster, immersed in bloody violence and the joy of spreading fear.

Compared to the older generation of gangsters who are strict about the rules, Black Mask sneers at what rules they have, and he prefers to show his ruthlessness and brutality by killing his entire family.

"Father, those people...... They don't have to be trusted. ”

Sophia's tone was a little hesitant, she knew what the Romans wanted to do when they returned to Gotham.

But cooperating with the Shadow Warrior Alliance, this is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, and there is a huge risk.

Those people are not so-called gangsters, they usually collect management fees from street shops, and at most provoke the police in Gotham.

They are out-and-out terrorists, whose main business is to create a financial tsunami, provoke international disputes, and covertly manipulate local conflicts in different regions......

These things that just sound like they are enough to make people shudder, and they are the plans that the behemoth hiding on the dark side of the world is interested in carrying out.

If the gangsters of Gotham are a pack of bloodthirsty jackals, then the Shadow Warriors Alliance is clearly a heavily armed hunting party.

The likes of Black Mask, the Marronnies, and the Penguin Copote, don't have much to resist in the face of the well-trained elite troops.

"Bringing them into Gotham is like planting a time bomb, and we may be affected by it."

Sophia plucked up the courage to admonish her father.

The Roman, who was sitting behind the desk, raised his eyelids, and instead of annoying his daughter's dissenting opinion, he smiled and said—

"Sophia, I've always said you're the best kid in the family, and you're much more satisfied than your older brothers."

Falcone did not hesitate to praise him, believing that his youngest daughter was a candidate to inherit the family.

Know how to think, have a good sense of the big picture, and most importantly...... Ambitious.

Under that seemingly well-behaved and lovely appearance, there is a femme fatale-like cold heart and a strong thirst for power.

And none of this can be hidden from Falcone's eyes.

"The Shadow Warrior Alliance, they're just a bunch of lost dogs."

The old man's voice echoed in the study, and the flames in the fireplace reflected the wrinkled face.

The years are merciless and fair to everyone, even the Romans, who were once in power.

"The Master Ninja is dead, and that woman in Talia thinks she can hide it from me, she doesn't have many people under her, otherwise she wouldn't have used Jonathan Crane to poison Gotham's water supply."

Falcone crossed his hands in front of his chest and leaned back slightly.

He knew very well what the Shadow Warrior Alliance was, but it was just one of the groups that split off from the Assassin Alliance.

It is said that the ninja master has died in Star City, despite the fact that the other party has performed the miracle of resurrection countless times.

But this time, by all indications, it seems that Lars-El Gul has truly embraced death and will never be able to reappear in the world.

So when Talia approached Falcone, he gladly accepted the request and agreed to cooperate with the Shadow Warrior Alliance.

The Romans, who had originally returned to Gotham, wanted to retake the island of Naho and expel the Black Mask with the help of the Shadow Warriors.

Then he ousted the Maroney family and the penguin Copote from the throne of power in the Gotham underworld.

Finally, help Talia and complete the grand plan to destroy Gotham.

But accidents happen from time to time, and what people didn't expect was that the appearance of Batman and James Gordon cleared all the obstacles for them in advance.

"Let that crazy woman in Talia mess with her, and we'll clean up the mess. I don't agree with the Master Ninja theory, but a new Gotham that has been reborn from the ashes is exactly what I want to see. ”

Falcone's voice was high and passionate.

The aging body seemed to be infused with a force, as if a sleeping lion was slowly waking up.

"I don't know when the city began to be full of madmen and psychosis, and when Maroni teamed up with the little penguin, it dawned on me that it was no longer the Gotham I knew."

Sophia listened silently, knowing that her father's ambition had never been extinguished.

When he left Gotham, he was only disappointed in the city, so he voluntarily withdrew from the power struggle in the underworld.

Otherwise, with the momentum and heritage of the Romans, even if Maroni and the Penguins both join forces and want to oust him from the throne of Gotham, it will not be so easy.

"I grew up living in Gotham, and I watched her go from a vigorous young girl to a foul-smelling and wrinkled face, like a dirty beggar."

The remembrance in Falcone's eyes turned into a faint disgust.

Once he was powerless in the face of depraved Gotham, even the Romans couldn't stop the whole city from getting worse.

From the golden age of Gotham's rise to the corruption and depravity of that time, such a change made Falcone angry!

He tried to change, but in vain, and even made many people think that the Romans were old and launched a menacing rebellion!

Maroney and the Penguin people rose to prominence at that time.

However, Falcone waited for his chance, and the Shadow Warriors League wanted to destroy Gotham, and that was exactly what he needed.

After a fire, the scorched forest will grow even stronger the following year.

The same is true of Gotham.

"A lot of people say that Gotham is sick. No, she wasn't sick, and it was the Gotham people who had forgotten the glory and honor of the city that really made the city rot. ”

Falcone's words are sonorous and powerful.

The old man looked at the family portrait hanging on the wall and said in a deep voice, "When these people die in fear, Gotham will be better." ”

Bang Bang Bang!

The moment Falcone's voice fell, there was a round of applause outside the study door.

The heavy walnut door was pushed open, and a young man with a cane appeared in the study.

He pulled out a white handkerchief from the pocket of his suit jacket.

He pretended to wipe the corners of his eyes and said softly, "I'm really impressed, Mr. Falcone." ”
