Chapter 241: Black Mask's Compromise
"Those guys aren't that easy to control." Later in the day, Su Jing said to Gage.
The incitement of Su Jing's previous speech may be enough for ordinary people, but to deceive these long-established underground giants, it is useless to rely on eloquence alone. Su Jing clearly knew that these people were all selfish and self-centered, if they could be pinched together by just one speech, it was either that their heads were collectively wrong, or that Su Jing had enough strength to subdue everyone and obediently tied them to a chariot.
Su Jing tried his best to recall his adventure, and thought of several ideas one after another, including the mind control collar he encountered in the Borderland World Realm, if he and Gai Qi's current skills and mana, it would not be impossible to make that kind of collar. In fact, the two of them have already pointed out the pre-technology in that area, and the materials needed for a mind control collar are not very difficult to find, but some components need to be made of platinum, which is a little troublesome.
"Actually, it's not just the mind control collar, if we poison them collectively, it can do the same. In short, to threaten their lives as the first priority. ”
The two of them talked as they stepped through the mess, and just behind them, a large truck that had crashed into the main entrance of the building collapsed and several security guards lay dead on the ground. Police cars whistled down on the streets, and three or two policemen were nervously standing outside the building calling for help.
The Siannis family once controlled several large companies, including cosmetics, real estate, restaurants and other industries. However, the current ruler is Roman . Siannis's business talent was far less brilliant than his talent in the underground war, and the Siannis Group was briefly acquired by Wayne Enterprises. This also makes "Black Mask" Roman. Siannis is extremely hateful to Bruce. Wayne. As one of the most powerful rulers in the city's underground, Black Mask has all the qualities of a tyrant. Cruelty, coldness, and a good use of his money. He didn't just pave the way with money. Opened up and down the joints of Gotham City, and is also a well-known generous employer in the international mercenary community. In order to deal with Batman, Black Mask has hired a number of well-known masters to strike at him all year round, and the bounty for Batman's life has never been less than five million......
When he walked into the elevator, Su Jing still had the heart to say hello to the camera. As expected, when the elevator door opened, more than fifty black-masked mercenaries gathered at the elevator door, and three rockets rained down on their heads along with hundreds of bullets.
Five minutes later, Su Jing and Gage were already sitting at a table with Black Mask. Face-to-face discussions about dealing with Batman.
Even if his own mercenary army was wiped out in less than a minute, Black Mask still maintained his demeanor. The fact that the other party gave him face made him feel a lot more comfortable, and he couldn't help but think of his first meeting with the Joker, who shot and killed Black Mask's double, and then beat him up again, and finally forced Black Mask to shoot his mistress himself - that kind of unreasonable madness made Roman for a long time. Siannis felt helpless. Fortunately, this guy can't make any more waves, and from a personal point of view, he is grateful to Solomon for stopping Red Hood's revenge on the Joker, and he wants to do it himself. To get revenge on the clown. He had thought about more than a hundred kinds of torture that would make him worse than death, and he wanted to see if he could use his wrist to peel that stupid smiling face off.
And now, these two Gotham City underground upstarts. Although they have a fighting power that surpasses him, they are polite and maintain traditional politeness, which makes Black Mask slightly more favorable to them. Even if this politeness is buried a pure overlook. The black mask, who is accustomed to the law of the jungle, doesn't think there's anything wrong with it, in terms of "knowing the times". These bigwigs are more proficient than anyone else.
"To reiterate our premise, we are not going to interfere with Mr. Siannis's control of finances and force. What belongs to you is still yours, and we are just acting as an advisor to offer some useful perspectives to the gentlemen of the 'Anti-Bat Alliance'. It's not that you are forced to obey our orders, after all, we are all like-minded comrades, and we don't want to make everyone unhappy...... After all, every time we weaken our strength, there is a little less chance of shattering Batman's corpse. ”
On the other side of the oak table, the black-haired young man who called himself "Solomon" calmly uttered the equivalent of a "naked threat to life", and Black Mask naturally understood this clearly. In other words, he stands on the opposite side, and he also does not consider the psychological feelings of the weaker side.
"What do you want?"
"First, Mr. Siennis, you have all the power you have now...... A list of people who pose a threat to Batman. ”
Solomon's request was particularly exaggerated as soon as he opened his mouth, and the black mask's entire face was buried under the mask, and it was impossible to see what his expression was. After two seconds of silence, the underground giant replied, "If you mean a mercenary on the same level as you, then I only have one under me. ”
"Death knell." Su Jing gave him the answer, "You don't all need to be that strong, people who are a little weaker can also ...... The best, preferably the ones that Batman has ever beaten. The more familiar he is, the better. ”
This request caused Siannis to frown under the mask, and he tried his best to think of the strategy hidden under the other party's request, but he could not do it.
"Second, I think you've heard of it...... Let's go to the organization of the owl court. ”
Black Mask laughed at first, and when he realized that the person sitting across from him didn't mean to joke, he put away his smile: "...... It's just a legend in nursery rhymes, at least to the best of my knowledge, the so-called court of owls never existed, it's just an urban legend. ”
"Once upon a time, Batman was also an urban legend of Gotham." Su Jing insisted.
Black Mask fell into a long test, and when the other party asked about the owl court, he had already determined that the other party was not trying to play with him, at least not using such a clumsy excuse as "owl court". Even the mysterious "Ninja Alliance" is more accurate than them compared to the Owl Court, at least Siennis' men have reported seeing mysterious people in ninja costumes underground.
"The legend of the Owl Court probably dates back more than a hundred years, when Gotham City was first built. Since it is the Wayne family who has invested the most in this city, it can basically be said that the city is full of the shadow of Wayne Enterprises, and those decades and hundreds of years old buildings still roam the spirits of owls, who secretly control the Wayne family and Gotham City - in fact, they are just the private secret legions of the rest of the families. They are the sworn enemies of the Wayne family, the remnants of the aristocratic disputes of the past feudal society, secretly influencing and changing the fate of the city......"
As Su Jing spoke, the face of the black mask gradually changed.
"I mean, Mr. Siennis. The Siannis family is also a century-old Gotham City celebrity, so wonder if your parents used to have a few white ...... The mask of an owl? ”
The black mask unconsciously stroked the black iron mask on his face, as if he had fallen into a distant memory.

"If this city were a dark and sinful city, I wouldn't argue with that at all."
When he got out of the elevator, Su Jing said to Gai Qi.
“…… Hearing you say that, the strength of that owl court shouldn't be very strong. If it's just a group of killers raised by the upper class. And if they are mainly aimed at the Wayne family, who controls the city, and they have not been able to overthrow them for more than a hundred years, wouldn't their strength be too weak? The Mechanic Warlock expressed his doubts.
"In my judgment, the reason why they let the Wayne family continue to exist is for the following reasons." Su Jing walked out of the Siannis Enterprise Building and drew a circle with his finger in all directions, "Guess how many things are the assets of Wayne Enterprises within the range of my finger?" ”
Without waiting for Gai Qi to answer, Su Jing said the answer by himself: "Almost more than ninety-five percent." ”
Looking around at Gotham City, which was about the nineties of the twentieth century, Gage was slightly intimidated by the scale of the enemy's assets.
"Gotham City is basically built on the achievements of the Wayne family. Batman, or Bruce. Wayne is not your average rich man. As I've said before, the history of the Wayne family can be traced back to the founding of the United States, and the city was pioneered by the Wayne family's ancestors. While Bruce. Wayne's scope of activity is only in Gotham City, but Wayne Enterprises' assets are among the highest on the planet, and he can even control the presidential election of the United States of America - this level of world's top financial power is based on complete control of the city of Gotham City. So, Bruce. Once Wayne falls, he will become a super-criminal that no one can compare to in Gotham City. Not only because of his tactical genius and scientific and technological research and development talents, but also because the Wayne family group under his command has the financial resources to directly intervene in the operation of the city government. Other supercriminals have to work hard from the bottom, but if Bruce. Wayne crosses his own limit, and then the whole of Gotham will become his one-man kingdom, and no underground boss can shake it, which is the power of capital in a capitalist society. ”
Su Jing paused slightly, and then continued:
"That's why we need to get in touch with the Owl Court, only their financial resources can compete with the Wayne family in this city. If not able to squeeze him at the broker then Bruce. Wayne wasn't going to be cornered. ”
In the distance, a loud explosion was heard.
"Our companion has already begun to act, let's break him physically, before we break him financially." Su Jing quickened his pace. (To be continued......)
