Chapter 90: The Penguin Man

"What are you laughing at?"

Oswald said with a frown.

Truth be told, Depp's laughter hit his fragile self-esteem.

Oswald was a little angry, but Depp didn't care.

Depp raised his eyebrows and said:

"That's why you reported on Falcone's gang operations?"

"James Gordon's secret informant, Oswald Cobert?"

When Depp saw Oswald, who had been released early, at the door of the Gotham police station, he guessed that he must be the one who gave Gordon the clues.

When Oswald said what he just said, Depp was even more sure that he reported the gang action in order to get revenge on Falcone, and it had nothing to do with kindness and morality.

It's not a discovery of conscience, it's just revenge.

How did he know that it was me who reported the trading operations of the Falcone gang?

I only did it once, how did I get discovered?

Hearing Depp reveal the identity of his informant, Oswald looked around in panic.

After confirming that there was no one else around, Oswald clenched the umbrella in his hand and said, "Although I have a good impression of you, Mr. Depp, I still have to warn you, you can't talk nonsense, it will kill you!" ”

"My life? Or is it your life? Depp asked rhetorically: "Oswald, is your ambition to be a gang leader who is like a rat crossing the street, where everyone spits on him?" ”

Without waiting for Oswald to refute, Depp continued: "Could it be that the Colbert family, one of the four great families that founded Gotham, has fallen to such a field? ”

Oswald had already stood up at this point, trembling incessantly because of his emotion: "No... It's not..."

He couldn't stop gasping, and the black umbrella in his hand creaked.

Depp pointed to the towering Wayne Building in the distance and said, "Look at the Wayne family, they are the four major families who control the lifeblood of the entire Gotham!" And the Kane family, who are inextricably linked to the military! ”

Depp turned his head, poked Oswald's chest with his fingers, and said, "Look at you again, Oswald!" You're still worried about not being able to become the leader of the Falcone family? ”

In the end, Depp said angrily: "Heh, what a thing! ”

Oswald was desperate to say something, but he couldn't hold back a word, because it was indeed the pain he had been suffering all along.

As a declining nobleman, he has always wanted to restore the glory of his family, but no one is willing to help him.

Even when he was a student, he was the kind of person who was bullied and isolated because of his lame feet and weird-looking huge hooked nose.

For various reasons, Oswald, who was finally isolated and helpless, finally chose the path of gangsters.

Now that the scar has been uncovered by Depp, Oswald is close to breaking down, waving an umbrella and shouting: "What can I do? Growing up, no one told me what to do and what to do! ”

"They never saw me as a friend, no one would help me, they would just make fun of me and bully me endlessly!"

"So I want to be the boss of the gang in Gotham, and I want to make those who used to look down on me and make fun of me feel regret and fear!"

"I just want to revive the glory of the Corbert family in my own way!"

"What's wrong with that?!"

Seeing Oswald's mad roar, Depp felt that his words had worked.

Oswald is releasing the negative emotions and pressure that have been pent up in his heart for a long time, which is very important for the inner health of children.

Depp knocked Oswald down in the alley behind the police station and said: "You're right Oswald, you didn't do anything wrong, it's just Gotham, it's the world." ”

But are you willing to accept your fate like this? Never thought you could change Gotham on your own? Make the city a better place so that children who share your similar experiences and difficulties are no longer bullied. ”

"I think you can do it, Oswald."

"Change...... Changing Gotham? Oswald said confusedly, "What do you mean... Like Batman? ”

Depp nodded and said, "That's just one way, you, Oswald, the only descendant of the Corbert family, I believe you can also find your own way, a way that people can respect and love you." ”

"You don't want the ancestors of the Colbert family to know that their kid has become a low-level criminal under Jiuquan, right?"

Depp handed his business card to Oswald and said: "This is my business card, if you have any new ideas and questions, you can come to me at any time, I am very willing to help you in any way I can." ”

Depp's words made Oswald feel a little excited after the pressure was released.

Maybe... I too can be a person who changes the history of Gotham!

And, this guy named Depp actually said that he was willing to help me......

Oswald took the business card with both hands and asked, "Forgive me for my rude question, Mr. Depp, why are you willing to help someone like me?" ”

"Someone like you?" Depp said: "Don't belittle Oswald, as a member of the Corbert family, you should be more confident, I help you because I am optimistic about you, I think you can do it." ”

With that, he patted Oswald on the shoulder and left.

Oswald stood in place for a long time before he stuffed Depp's business card into his pocket.

"That guy actually said he was optimistic about me!"

Oswald happily said that this was the first time that someone other than his mother had praised him and said that he was optimistic about himself.

And, he also began to think about what Depp said, and felt that he should also make some changes.

Oswald limped back to his cheap apartment, thinking about his future.

Oswald's rented apartment was similar to Joseph's before.

All are very old houses.

However, although the house is dilapidated and small, there is a world of difference inside.

In this room, there are many tools and materials.

Because of his dark childhood, Oswald never felt safe.

So he taught himself a lot of knowledge, which is also the basis for him to be able to make that black combat umbrella by himself.

In addition to this, he is also proficient in a certain martial arts that suits him.

I have to say that he is actually a genius.

Of course, there are not many criminals in Gotham who are not geniuses......

Colbert thought about it for a long time at home, feeling a little irritated.

He sat down at his workbench and adapted his umbrella again.

Early the next morning, he scribbled a cute little penguin with a pencil, and finally made up his mind and dialed Depp's phone.
