CHAPTER XXII

In the end, Peter still explained to Diana the meaning of the existence out of context.

"Breaking the context can make the story more engaging,

can arouse the reader's sense of expectation,

They can't wait to see what's going on, so they can take out the money in their wallets obediently......"

As the first reader who had just been aroused in anticipation, Diana looked at Peter in disbelief,

"How can there be such an evil thing in this world!"

"Evil? This is a compulsory course for every author. ”

An author who does not break the chapter is not a good author. Peter explained in a hurry, not dwelling on the topic.

He divided the first issue of Iron Man into two parts.

In the current era, the carrier of comics is a newspaper after all, and the length of a newspaper is not enough to stuff these comics.

Divide it into two parts, and then just stuff some content into it, typeset it, and a newspaper is completed.

As for the rest of the text, Peter naturally had it at his fingertips.

Super hearing is enough for him to catch all kinds of interesting frivolous gossip in Gotham City, or the political issues that the citizens are concerned about.

Soon, the master was made.

Although the quality of the pigment is not yet as good as that of later generations due to the current level of the times, it is sufficient for the time being.

After that, Peter was completely able to rub his hands.

Diana picked up the master newspaper and read it, although she also found it interesting.

But the problem is that she has no knowledge of this field at all, and she only remembers that when she was in London, she seemed to have seen quite a few people peddling these newspapers on the streets.

"Is that all right? What's next, how do we sell these newspapers? She asked with some interest.

While it's unclear why Black Superman did this, she's happy to accompany her to complete it.

She thinks that this kind of life seems to be very good.

To this, Peter just replied: "Next, wait for someone to come to the door to give gifts." ”

"Wait for someone to come to the door?" Diana tilted her head, confused.

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock at the door.

Peter laughed and said, "Look, isn't this coming?" ”

Diana was full of question marks, but she had to help Peter open the door first.

Opening the door of the newspaper office, Diana saw two young men, dressed as workers in shirts and suspenders, with top hats on their heads.

When they saw Diana who opened the door, they were also obviously stunned.

"Who are you? What about the owner here? They asked.

Diana frowned instinctively. Obviously, it was the other party who knocked on the door, but he actually questioned first.

She asked rhetorically, "I am the master here, who are you?" ”

Soon, the two men learned of the fact that the newspaper had been bought, and there was a commotion, and it took a while for one of them to come forward to identify himself.

In this way, Diana learned the ins and outs of the matter.

The other party is a member of a nearby mafia, and the mafia of this era is actually the predecessor of the gang, but compared to the gang, their core members are more tied by blood relations.

They have long been eyeing this newspaper, although this newspaper is not doing well, but it has been a few years, and in this era, this kind of sign is still ten minutes important.

They had already forced the former owner of the newspaper to give up the newspaper office through overt and covert means, but this method was almost a forcible seizure, and if they did not agree, their lives would be threatened.

Originally, the former master was already being forced to the limit, and they were almost unable to support it, and they were also ready to reap the fruits of victory.

Unexpectedly, all this was taken preceded by someone just before the harvest.

Peter took the newspaper first.

Not to mention the parents of the mafia, even the two ordinary members in front of them instantly became angry and threatened:

"Where did you come from, you don't know the rules so much, don't you know that this place has been taken by the Grave family!?"

And Diana, who is it, how could she be threatened by this, and after Peter's consent, the two of them were sent away without saying a word.

Of course, just to this extent, she is not heavy-handed, which caused the two mafias to not be seriously injured, and after scolding, they left a threat while running:

"Wait! The Graves won't let you go! ”

After they returned, they naturally reported the situation here to the patriarch of the mafia, that is, the leader.

They stood respectfully and in awe, waiting for the mafia patriarch sitting on the sofa and smoking cigars.

Of course, they prefer to call each other godfathers.

The Great Godfather started from scratch and established the Grave family, bringing together the workers of the area and the docks, twisting into a rope and no longer being bullied by outsiders.

Even the consuls had to give the godfather some face.

Even, even with Mayor Copote, the godfather could say something.

The godfather quietly listened to the report of the two subordinates, and did not get angry, but only took a puff of cigar, and then ordered:

"Go and find out where those two come from."

The investigators came back quickly, not because there were many parts of the investigation, but simply because there was really nothing to investigate.

The earliest clue is that the two men were seen on the street today, and then there was a blank gap.

In this case, even the godfather had some doubts.

Either it's a big guy with a background that's too big to mess with, or it's just a foreigner who just arrived in Gotham today and took a shit luck to intercept his goods.

As for the small newspaper on the verge of bankruptcy, it may be dispensable in the eyes of ordinary people, but for him, for the Greif family, it is crucial.

Because, some time ago, they harvested a printing factory that was also on the verge of closure because of poor management.

In general, such small factories are just a kind of chicken ribs for them, and they are of little use except for cheap sales and career changes.

But the Grave family has developed to the present, mastering several areas of Gotham City, and the expansion of power has come to a turning point.

He has almost reached the top of the Gotham mafia, with the four major families and their vassals at the top.

He wants to go further, he can only transform.

This gave the godfather an idea to buy a newspaper and make his own newspaper.

Although the profitability of the newspaper is not outstanding compared to other industries under his control, it can greatly increase his influence and the ability to control public opinion.

The most important thing is that the Grave family can gradually whitewash and integrate into the upper aristocratic families of Gotham.

But, all of this has now been interrupted by two unidentified fellows, and worse still, the Godfather can't tell if it's just a coincidence or some kind of trap.

After he groaned, he had an idea.

I saw a smile on his face, showing a very calm and controllable expression,

"Bring them a letter of invitation."

"Tell them that the godfather wants to see them."
