Tom has been having a very bad time lately.

As a member of the penguin team, although he is also one of the leaders, he is ostracized by a group of people led by the penguin people, and he is vaguely self-contained.

The Penguins blockaded him with resources, and he was a gang leader, but in fact he was still a man, just a big man with status but no strength.

In the Penguin's team, almost no one looked down on him, and of course, no one dared to mess with him.

Because, behind him stands an existence that even the penguin people can't provoke.

Those are three powerhouses who have the power to turn Gotham City upside down - even the bigwigs of Gotham City's underworld, the Penguins dare not ignore them.

However, in recent times, the few strong men behind him seemed to have left this world and completely cut off contact with him.

And the penguin people seem to know this, so they dispose of and deal with him more and more freely.

Tom was worried.

He knew that he was actually a pawn that Roger and the others had planted next to the penguin to oversee him.

Such a character, for the penguin people, if there is no threat to the penguin people such as Roger and others, he is a mud doll to be pinched.

He was afraid that Roger and the others would give up on him and make him a punching bag for the penguin people.

It wasn't what he wanted to see.

He took the initiative to stay at that time, although it can be said that he was impulsive, but he was not without ideas in his heart.

What he wants to do is to replace the Penguin Man and become the strongest in Gotham City, the underworld! It's about becoming a giant!

He didn't want to be killed like that!

Tom was sitting in a certain bar drinking alcohol, this place was the first time Roger and the others met Tom, that is, the bar of the red-haired young man at that time.

Drip, drip!

Suddenly, Tom's cell phone rang.

Tom glanced nonchalantly at the screen.

Crash!

The bottle in his hand suddenly slipped from his hand and smashed to the ground into pieces.

He immediately ran out of the bar, not caring for anything, his face slightly red, and he looked very excited.

Finally!

He finally waited for Roger and the others to contact him.

……

"Good, looks like you've been doing a good job lately." Roger saw Tom's appearance, at this time, although his red hair was still cut off, he was wearing a suit, no longer a hanger, but like a guy with status.

"After all, it's your person, of course you have to be a little imposing." Tom is humble. He knew very well that his current status was brought to him by Roger, and everything about him was attached to Roger's existence and affordability of him, so he didn't dare to be the slightest bit unkind to Roger.

"Very well, I came to you for something I want to know." Roger said, "You shouldn't be unclear about what happened in Gotham City recently, right?" ”

"What do you mean?" Tom asked.

"Blazing fast." Roger said.

Tom's expression froze, he gritted his teeth, and nodded, "I do know something." ”

"Let's talk about it." Roger said, "Tell me what you know." I'll go back to see the penguin man once in a while, and I'm sure he'll give you the treatment you deserve. ”

Before meeting Tom, Roger asked Wayne to investigate Tom's current situation.

As he expected, Tom hasn't been doing well lately, and although he has been placed by Roger next to the penguins, the penguins don't feel good about him.

Therefore, Tom's life may have improved a lot compared to before, but his mental feeling is showing a straight downward trend.

After figuring this out, what Roger had to do was, of course, to give Tom some hope.

He wants Tom to know that with him behind him, Tom's future is not limited to this.

"Speed has recently made trouble in Gotham City, and the forces he has gathered have caused an extremely serious impact on the underground distribution of Gotham City, even if Speed defeats Batman, the Penguins are not grateful to Speed Speed, but they are very unhappy with Speed Speed."

Tom understood Roger's hint, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and introduced the current situation in Gotham City to Roger, saying: "The rise of Speed has robbed a lot of territory and business under the Penguins, and now there is a very serious contradiction between Penguin and Speed Speed, but the two have maintained a tacit understanding and have not started a war for the time being. ”

"Why don't you go to war yet?" Roger was a little strange.

The rise of one power often means the weakening of another.

There is no doubt that if the forces represented by Speed want to become the number one in Gotham, then the forces led by the Penguins will have to give way to Speed Speed.

No one wants to be in the past tense!

Especially a self-made hero like the Penguin!

People like him have ambitions that are bred in the process of growing up that no one can imagine.

That's why Roger finds it strange that there is no war between the two.

"Because of his speedy personal strength, he poses a threat to the penguins." Tom said, "Because of your existence, the penguin realizes the power of superpowers, so he doesn't dare to fight with Extreme Speed until he is completely sure of solving it." ”

"I see." Roger narrowed his eyes.

"There's another reason." Tom glanced at Roger, and continued, "Among the strengths led by Extreme Speed, there is a figure whose appeal is not weaker than that of the Penguin Man. ”

"Falcone?" Roger said.

"Yes, it's Falcone!" Tom wasn't puzzled that Roger knew the news, and in his opinion, it would be strange if Roger didn't know the news.

Falcone is indeed a big trouble.

With his seniority and former status, it is not difficult to make a comeback in Gotham City. Especially beside him, there is also a superpower person with super personal strength.

This superposition of the two phases produces a chemical reaction that goes beyond addition and multiplication.

"It's kind of interesting." Roger muttered, "Well, I'll have to talk to the penguins." ”

"Co-op ...... of superheroes and underground bosses"

After Roger finished speaking, he said to Tom in front of him, "Take me to meet the penguin people." ”

……

"See you again, my friend."

The penguin man stared at Roger in front of him with a smile: "Speaking of which, until now, I still don't know your name?" ”

"You can call me a magician." Roger replied with a smile.

"Magician?" The penguin muttered, "I'm really glad to meet you." ”

"Me too." Roger nodded, "I heard that your recent situation is not very good. Speed is pressing you hard. ”

"What do you want to say?" The penguin's smile froze.

"I'll get straight to the point." Roger said, "Speed is our enemy, and he is your enemy. As the saying goes, the enemy of your enemy is your friend. I think we can do some more cooperation that will be beneficial to both sides. ”
