Chapter 125: Bishop
Mason? Brooke, a street thug, but he's not just a gangster. The only thing that sets him apart from others is that he's worked for so many gangs.
This is extremely rare, because the boss on the road usually doesn't talk about letting his own people go to another house. Can you do it like Mason? Brooke's case requires a strong talent for "wallgrass". When he follows whichever boss seems to be more mixed, he follows whomever he wants.
This talent really helped him a lot. When he was caught by the police without paying attention to a group of accomplices, he confessed his "colorful" experience, and a police officer in charge of the hearing took a fancy to him and gave him a chance. Since then, he has returned to the streets, but this time his boss has become the Gotham Police Department. He was one of the best of all the street informants in the police.
The police trust him, but unfortunately not everyone is as good as the police.
He is now running as fast as "life and death", as fast as if he is going to burn out his life. His steps were messy and panting like an ox, but he still insisted on walking like lead, like a soul trying to escape from the palm of death.
However, everyone knows that very few souls can escape the clutches of death.
Black ropes flew through the darkness and curled his feet in circles. Mason, who is already unstable? Brooke immediately planted a dog gnawing mud and flicked his hands wildly, trying to untie the black rope on his leg.
A black shadow emerged from the darkness as if teleporting, lifting Mason with one hand.
Mason stared at the black mask and flaming bat markings, and he knew the man. The Winged Knight, who has recently become more and more known in Gotham, is also on the blacklist of all criminals.
With the ** power activated by Titan Venom, Roy lifted Mason up with one hand and asked, "Mason?" Bullock! β
Mason nervously yelled, "You...... You don't understand, I'm ...... with the police."
"Of course I know you're doing something for them." Roy said viciously, "But I'm not a cop, and I don't trust you, but you do know the most about the Gotham Underworld, so don't play dumb for me." Tell me, there's a guy named 'Bishop' in Gotham lately, what do you know about him? β
'What?' Bishop'? Nobody knows anything about him, he's a mystery, I just know what everybody knows. Mason exclaimed incoherently
"Tell me what you know, anything."
Mason said: "I've only heard that the 'Bishop' seems to have only started its activities last year, and it seems to have been on the Met's side at first. No one knows how he got started, this person has been blown into a myth, and everyone in the road has heard of him recently. It is said that he has taken control of the underground forces of the entire Metropolis, and it is rumored that he also controls all the underworld organizations in Seaside City, and it is rumored that he also has a solid presence in Canterlot...... Of course, a lot of it may just be boasting, and the time from last year to now is unlikely to be enough to accomplish so many feats...... But you also know that there is no wind and no waves, and I heard that he is indeed very good. β
The more Roy listened, the tighter his brow locked. During this time, he also knew about other cities, and he knew that many cities had their own patron saints, the most famous of which was the red-cloaked alien visitor known as Superman. But if the "bishop" is really the man he suspects, then part of the rumors is likely to be true. After all, although the heroes of other cities have powerful and magical abilities, not everyone is like Gotham with the world's greatest detective. Other heroes are very good at dealing with street crime or large-scale terrorist attacks, but when it comes to dealing with underworld organizations, they are laymen, and ten supermen may not be as efficient as Batman.
"The new 'Emperor Penguin' says the 'Bishop' has come to Gotham." Mason continued, "Now that Cobot is in prison, albeit temporarily, the gang is indeed leaderless. The 'Bishop' was in complete control of the situation without even showing his face, and now everyone had to listen to him. β
"'Emperor Penguin'?" Roy asked.
"Oh, haven't you heard?" "Okewell, who used to be a penguin's handyman," Mason said. He's been bullish since Copote's departure, and now he's taken over every aspect of the Copote's organization. However, it is said that his actions are basically under the command of the 'Bishop', and there are rumors in the following organization that the 'Bishop' can bring down the new 'Emperor Penguin' at any time if he wants, so O'Kevier has to listen to him. β
Roy ditched Mason and left, he already knew enough.
This "Bishop" only used the Fallen Knight to create opportunities for himself by using her crazy actions to greatly reduce the overall strength of the entire Gotham gang, and at the same time, he caught Colbert to further weaken the Gotham underground to an unprecedented level, so as to take advantage of the situation. And after using the Fallen Knight, he borrowed Roy to eradicate the outcast.
He had become more and more convinced of an absurd assumption in his mind, but very close to the truthβthat he knew this "bishop" and had known it a long time ago. Judging by the way and tone of his voice when the "Bishop" called him during the pursuit of the Fallen Knight, the "Bishop" must have recognized him somehow.
Now, he had to go and make a final confirmation.
If O'Kevier is really basking in the joy of being the new penguin, then he must be in the place where he best reflects his identity - the Iceberg Casino.
Okewell sat at the desk in the boss's office, his leather shoes on the table, lit a cigarette, and lay down on the boss's chair with his hands behind his head, listening leisurely to the report of a glasses assistant he had just promoted.
Although there was some dissatisfaction with the organization at first, he quickly suppressed it with a little bit of means. Now the organization has fully emerged from the brief paralysis that Colbert fell into when he was in prison and is back in operation.
While he was enjoying this, the chandelier above his head flickered twice, and finally went out completely.
He frowned slightly and straightened up from his chair. There are backup generators in the Iceberg Casino to keep the lights on even if the power goes out. And the only explanation for the backup generator not to start is that someone was paralyzed with the EMP along with the backup engine.
The office door slowly pushed open as if it had been blown by a dark wind, and the black body stood there, the hellish red bat on its chest attracting all attention.
"Winged Knight." Okeville smiled slightly and said to the assistant, "You go out first, and we'll talk alone." β
The frightened assistant hurried out. Okevier smiled and asked, "I knew you were coming, and he told me that this conversation was inevitable." β
Roy asked lightly, "Where is he?" β
"I don't know." Okeville shrugged, "It's always a phone call, and I've never met him. If you don't believe me, just take a test with your advanced polygraph equipment and you'll know I'm not lying. β
Roy frowned. He doesn't have Batman's polygraph device, but he can roughly tell that he's telling the truth.
"Looks like you're old acquaintances?" Okeville smiled and took a drag on his cigarette, "'The Bishop' says he knows you, he knows everything about you, he says you're more remarkable than Batman. He can anticipate all the questions you want to know, so you can't find the answers to any of them from me, because I don't know any of them. β
Roy gritted his teeth and turned to leave the office, back in the darkness.
After a few seconds, the lights came back on. Okeville straightened his clothes, called his assistant back to his assistant, and lay back in his chair leisurely again.
