Chapter 19: Two Lives

Bruce Wayne's real target tonight is a big shot.

Carmen Falcone, Gotham City's untouchable mob boss, is revered as the "Roman" for his ruthless style.

If Gotham is openly controlled by the ancient four families and their businesses, then the Falcone family is the only king of Gotham's underworld.

Falcone is proud, wise, business-savvy, and ruthless enough.

Rob, the chief of the Gotham Police Department, is nothing more than a lackey in Falcone.

A few days earlier, Bruce had been at his banquet to warn those who had joined him in sucking the blood of the people and committing a heap of crimes.

And today, it's time to keep that promise.

In the wee hours of the morning, the breeze blows outside the Falcone villa, the curtains flutter in the wind, and the scent of roses wafts through the villa.

The serious mob boss loves the smell of roses and salt in coffee, but not sweets.

Bruce turned into a bat and landed silently on the balcony of Falcone's villa, and the sleeping Falcone did not notice the terrifying figure behind the curtains.

Bruce followed the wind into Falcone's bedroom, and when he reached the bedside, the weathered gangster finally spotted him.

"You damn bat!"

Because of the appearance of Batman, the crime rate in Gotham has dropped significantly in the past few weeks, although most of the people who have stopped crime are retail investors such as some street gangsters, but it has also given Gotham a sign of regaining sight on the surface.

To be honest, Rob doesn't have a problem with this, and the lower crime rate is good for stabilizing the people's hearts and minds, and it will also make it easier for him to cooperate with Falcone.

However, Falcone doesn't think so, just as Bruce wants to deal with the uncontrollable Depp, and he doesn't like the city's underground world with an existence like Batman that he can't control.

Especially after Batman made a big fuss about his party a few days ago, he ordered Captain Luo to catch Batman as soon as possible and sentence him to a felony.

In the bedroom, Falcone tried to pull out the revolver under his pillow, but was grabbed by Bruce by the wrist and throat first.

Bruce's strength is so great that Falcone, who is over half a hundred years old, can't break free at all.

Just as he was about to call for help, Bruce took out a batrang and put it against his throat and made a silencing gesture.

"Shhh

Falcone looked at Batman in front of him, fearful and angry in his heart.

He thought that at the banquet a few days ago, this guy was just pretending to be a ghost, but he didn't expect to really come to the door today.

"Tell me, which police officers took your bribes? Give me which ledgers! Bruce asked in amazement.

Hearing this, Falcone spat directly at Bruce's mask: "your ledger!" You filthy bat who intrudes into someone's house at will, if you have the ability, you will kill me. But without me, Gotham would have been even darker and more chaotic! ”

Falcone knew that his family was able to dominate the Gotham City underworld not only because of his bravery, but also because of his resourcefulness and integrity.

Gambit made his "business" bigger and bigger, and honesty made him have more and more "friends".

Those ledgers are their bargaining chips for controlling all walks of life and government officials, and as long as they continue to work for themselves and their families, they must not be given out.

Once the integrity of the Falcone family collapses, it will usher in the result of rebellion and separation.

As long as the Falcone family shows a little fatigue, poisonous snakes like the Maroni family, which have been dormant for many years, will definitely take the opportunity to fall into the well and bite hard.

Bruce was silent for a moment before saying, "I'll find them, Lord Falcone, and Gotham will surely see light." ”

Falcone scoffed, "Light? Do you think you're a hero? Yourself the embodiment of light? How old are you, child, why are you still fantasizing about this game of justice. ”

Bruce tied Falcone's hands and feet behind his back and threw him on the bed.

He wiped his mask clean with Falcone's sheet and said, "No, I never considered myself a hero. I'll be the true darkness of Gotham, the darkness that even you vampires and scum fear. ”

Bruce turned Falcone's bedroom upside down, but still couldn't find the ledger of his bribe, and the safe contained only a bag of diamonds, a dozen gold bars, and stacks of dollars.

And this money, Bruce doesn't look down on at all.

Bruce, who had returned in vain, was a little angry, he casually picked up the Rolls-Royce key on the table, and said, "You are very lucky, Lord Falcone." So I decided to drive your Rolls-Royce into the river at Pier 9. ”

With that, he ignored Falcone's curses and jumped out of the villa and drove the Rolls-Royce away in the garage.

Not long after Bruce left, a beautiful figure in a sexy leather coat jumped from the top floor of the villa.

Didn't make a sound like a cat.

Selena looked at the diamonds and gold scattered on the ground and exclaimed, "Wow, I've come at the right time." ”

Falcone thought that Selena was just a thief, and said condescendingly: "Whoever you are, help me untie the rope now, and I will give you more money than this." ”

When Selena heard this, sharp claws appeared on her fingers, and she grabbed Falcone's face directly without looking.

Three deep bone scratches surfaced, blood stained the sheets red, and Falcone exclaimed, "Are you crazy? I'm Falcone! ”

"Keep your mouth shut, before I even kill him." Selena looked at Falcone with hatred in her eyes.

A few minutes later, Selena walked up to Falcone with a full cloth bag.

She looked at the Gotham godfather in front of her, who was wearing only a pair of boxers and tied to the bed, and playfully said, "Thank you for your generosity, Lord Falcone, even though you are a damn scumbag." ”

With that, Selena grabbed the salt shaker on the bedside table and sprinkled salt between the three scratches on Falcone's face.

"You can call it out if it hurts, famous Roman."

Hearing the other party say his nickname, Falcone was furious to the extreme, but even though the bruises on his painful face erupted and the cold sweat flowed, he didn't say a word.

"It's boring." Selena once again gave her opinion of the godfather of Gotham, then threw the salt shaker to the ground and left the window in a flash.

Falcone was angry today, a bat and a cat broke into his house one after another, and both threatened to kill him.

It's the first time he's been humiliated like this in decades...

No, twice! Two times in five minutes!

Ten minutes later, several of his men knocked on the door outside the bedroom in a panic.

"Lord Falcone, your Rolls-Royce has been driven away!"

Falcone was furious: "It's the damn bat! Come in and untie the rope from me! ”

-----

In a slum apartment on the island, Joseph Cole, wearing an apron, brought hot corn pea bisque and soft bread from the kitchen.

Joseph brought the food to the bed, put a small spoonful of corn and peas to his mouth, blew it, and then carefully fed it to the frail woman on the bed.

"How's it taste, baby?"

The woman took small bites and nodded: "It's delicious, I love you Joseph, I will definitely be able to have a baby for you." ”

"Leave the child alone, are you feeling better?"

"After taking the medicine, I feel much more comfortable than yesterday and I can feel my body recovering. But where did you get all that money? ”

"I'm going to come today to pay my boss for what I owe, don't worry, baby, you and the child will be fine, I swear."

Joseph kissed the woman's forehead dotingly, hiding his left hand behind him.
