Gordon looked at the robbery license in his hand, and he was completely stunned.

He knew that Gotham was dark and that most of the town hall officials were involved in criminal activities, but he didn't expect that why would they be so blatant now?

And Gotham City Hall will issue such a permit?

Do you really want the last fig leaf?

But when Gordon carefully examined the robbery license in his hand, he gradually discovered the clue.

Although the heist permit is very well-made and looks promising, there is not a single signature on the entire permit that belongs to Gotham City Hall.

Instead, at the very bottom of the permit, Gordon found a name that he was very familiar with.

Signed: Copot Oswald.

Penguin people?

This hell robbery license was issued by Colbert?

Is he crazy or is Colbert crazy?

When this outrageous idea appeared in Gordon's mind, Gordon even wondered if he was mistaken.

But the black and white words on his hand showed that Gordon was not mistaken.

"Harvey, bring him back to the police station!" Gordon said with a serious expression. "Interrogate carefully!"

It's not just a matter of a so-called license robbery!

It's much more serious than that!

It's like when you find a cockroach in your room, rest assured, there are at least ten more cockroaches and a thousand cockroach eggs in the corner you can't see!

Now that he only saw a so-called robbery permit, how many would he not see?

And......

If it was really Copote's grant to these criminals, would there only be a robbery permit?

Now Gordon can only hope that this criminal permit was not issued by Copper, but was made by the little thief in front of him himself, used to swindle.

At least you don't have to play against Colbert that way.

The current Colbert is not the penguin who can be bullied by anyone before, but the veritable king of Gotham!

Facing up to the current Copote, the difficulty can be imagined!

With the combined efforts of Gordon and Harvey, the street robber was brutally handcuffed and stuffed into a car.

Finally, before driving, the robber was still obsessed with his so-called "robbery permit".

"Bring my permit!" The robber shouted hoarsely.

"Of course, this is evidence of your guilt!" Gordon shrugged his shoulders and started the car.

Compared with this robbery permit, Gordon is more curious that this person has obviously been caught by himself, but there is no panic on his face, and he is even in the mood to pay attention to the bullshit permit?

Where did this man get his confidence?

Could it be that he still expects someone to save him?

Gordon and Harvey exchanged glances, after such a long time, the two sides had already cultivated a considerable tacit understanding, and they could understand each other's meaning without speaking.

Both men raised their vigilance.

Although the police cars of the two people have not been hijacked, it does not mean that the criminals in Gotham dare not hijack the police cars, on the contrary, some police cars escorting some important gangsters are often hijacked......

Could it be that this robber is some important person?

……

Soon, the two of them returned to the Gotham Police Station.

Contrary to Gordon's expectations, there were no surprises along the way, and it was peaceful.

The next process is naturally the interrogation part.

Gordon didn't make much effort to interrogate the robber, on the contrary, the robber was very cooperative.

Almost as soon as Gordon opened his head and asked a question, the robber told him everything he knew like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

Gordon finally knew what was going on.

also completely shattered the last trace of luck in his heart.

The robbery permit was indeed issued by Copote, but it was not issued for free.

Instead, you need to spend money to buy!

This robbery permit was purchased by the robber with his savings of $100,000!

Gordon's previous guess came true!

Cobot recently issued a new rule that only those with a permit on his territory could carry out criminal activities, and could not be retaliated against and hunted down by Copote.

According to the robber, Copote's criminal license was not limited to robbery.

Licences for robbery, arms trafficking, flour sales......

All kinds of criminal industries, all included!

The price of each license also varies, and different prices are charged depending on the profit and size.

Some lucrative industries, such as flour and munitions, are sold for tens of millions of dollars for a single license!

At the same time, he must pay 70% of the "crime income tax" to Cobott after each crime proceeds profit......

However, the exact price of those permits was not within the reach of the robber.

After all, he is just the most inconspicuous and lowest-level in the entire Gotham underworld.

Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with Gordon's writing.

When Colbert instituted new rules for the underworld, it was only natural that such high license fees and seventy percent of taxes would be resisted by the underground gangsters.

Although the remaining thirty percent of the net profit is enough for these gangs to survive, who thinks that there is more money, and thirty percent of the profit is only enough to maintain the survival of the gangs, and it is not enough for their gangs to grow.

However, all opposition voices disappeared after the collapse of one of the gangs, the Wild Wolves.

This wolf gang is in the flour business on weekdays, and the background is ...... It was none other than Officer Frass of the Gotham Police Department.

Colbert ordered his men to slaughter the Wolves, and Frass was caught by Gordon and sent to prison.

……

It was only then that Gordon understood why a few days ago, Colbert would hand over all of Fras's information and evidence of the crime to himself!

It turned out that he wanted to borrow his own hand and get rid of him!

But none of this matters, compared to being put on the side by Copote, Gordon cares more about what he should do next!

It's a big deal, and it's worse than he expected.

Don't just focus on the present, take a long-term view, and open the pattern! - This is what Gordon learned from Levi when he was in Arkham Asylum earlier.

Cobott issued these certificates of guilt, and although nothing was visible in the short term, in the long run.

It's the entire Gotham underworld where the criminal forces are organized!

It's not legalized in Gotham, but it's not much!

Rationally arranging the scope of activities of each criminal organization with a license can avoid fighting between gangs and criminal organizations, and even collecting taxes, this is simply another town hall in the underground world!

And, compared to Gotham City Hall, the gangsters of Colbert are clearly more dominant.

After all, if you don't follow the orders of the city hall, you may only lose your job, and those gangsters in the underground world will really lose their lives if they dare to disobey Colbert's orders!

It is clear which is more important at a glance.

More dominant than any previous Gotham Underground Overlord!

While Gordon was well aware of the gravity of these permits, he couldn't think of a good way to deal with them for the time being.

After all, Copote's current sphere of influence is the entire Gotham, and the robber he caught is not even known by many people in Gotham......

If Gordon had known that Copote's current policies had come from Levi's advice to Copote after he had left Arkham first that day.

He will definitely regret himself early

Leave.

It's all taught by a master, and you can't break the trick!

Moreover, it is clear that Copote is a personal disciple, and he is only a registered disciple......

……

Just as Gordon was scratching his head about what to do next.

Suddenly, a motorcade stopped in front of the Gotham Police Station.

The car at the front was none other than the Rolls-Royce that Copote had inherited from Falcone.

Butch stepped out of the driver's seat, respectfully pulled the car door, and Copote, dressed in a custom suit, got out of the car with a civilized staff and a pair of crocodile shoes.

As Cobot stepped out of the car, the motorcade that had been following behind also stopped, the door opened, and a group of heavily armed gangsters armed with various arms and weapons dismounted.

"Let's go, Butch, to the Gotham Police Station." Cobot looked up at the Gotham Police Department's plaque and smiled.

Although it has only been less than a week since he re-established the new rules of the Gotham underworld.

However, just this week, the cash income brought to him far exceeded that of the previous six months!

It is true that part of the cash proceeds come from the issuance of criminal business licenses, but after removing this part, the remaining "crime income tax" is far more than the previous normal revenue!

Now not only has it been connected to the previous almost broken capital chain, but it has also had a lot of surplus, which has led to the current change of Colbert's shotgun, completely bidding farewell to the embarrassing situation of becoming the king of Gotham before!

Of course, even if he is rich now and his strength has expanded again, Copote is not floating, and he feels that he can compete with or overshadow Levi.

On the contrary, it increased the awe of Levi even more.

Because he found one thing, and that is that after these new rules are implemented, it will be more conducive for him to rule the Gotham Underworld!

After paying 70% of the "crime income tax", the gangsters simply don't have extra money to recruit manpower, buy arms, and strengthen themselves.

And he himself can use the money to continue to grow stronger.

With each other at odds, the power gap between the other gangsters and his Oswald family will only widen.

It is completely impossible to reproduce a drama similar to his counterattack on the top in the future!

A single piece of advice could have such a terrible effect that Cobot felt that he was becoming more and more unable to see through Levi.

He's just the director of an insane asylum!

Even Copote is still unsure whether Levi's advice was intentional or unintentional.

And is there a deep meaning in it that I haven't understood......

……

Except for the suspicion of Dean Levi.

Naturally, Cobot knew what he was here for.

As Copote walked towards the Gotham Police Station, Butch behind him waved at the gangsters.

The gangsters followed Copote.

A large area of gangsters out of the street had already attracted the attention of passers-by at this time, and they all stopped and stopped to look at this side.

Even the officers in the police station noticed the commotion, looking through the windows of the police station as Colbott approached and the gang members behind him.

Although Copote's limping was a little funny, no one could laugh.

At this time, Copote's body had initially taken on the momentum of a superior person, and all the police officers had a ridiculous idea, and their nerves were tensed

Cobot didn't want to storm the police station with his men, right?

It's no wonder they think so, it's true that during the tenure of the previous King of Gotham, Falcone, Victor once led people to storm the police station.

It's funny to say, in many cases, in fact, the firepower of the Gotham Police Department is not as strong as the gangsters, and no gangsters dare to fight hard.

Never measure the city of Gotham by the standards of gangsters in other cities, whether it's daring or insaneness......

Fortunately, the next scene calmed the tense nerves of the police officers a little.

Cobot stopped as he stepped up the steps in front of the police station.

Behind him, a group of heavily armed gangsters also stopped, and their movements were uniform.

After Colbert threw a lot of money, even the usually unorganized and undisciplined gang members became more willing to obey the rules.

"Butch, you take someone outside and wait for me, and I'll just go in by myself." Cobot tilted his head to Butch and said.

"Boss, why don't I go in with you......" Butch worried, "I heard that man was captured by Gordon."

"It's because Gordon caught me that I came here myself." Cobott smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, Gordon doesn't dare to do anything to me, if something really happens, isn't there still you outside?"

Since his boss said so, Butch naturally didn't want to say anything more, but he made up his mind that if the Gotham Police Department really dared to do something to the boss, then he would lead someone to rush in and slaughter the entire Gotham Police Department.

Cobot smiled and walked into the Gotham police station on his own......

……

When Copote walked into the Gotham Police Station with a smile on his face, the officers at the Gotham Police Station fell silent.

No one knows what the Underground King is doing here, but the heavily armed gangsters outside the police station tell that it can't be a good thing.

Looking at the silent hall of the police station, Cobot stood up straight, the staff of civilization in his hand, and an arrogant smile on his face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, introduce myself, my name is Cobott Oswald!"

Silence continued in the halls of the police station, and now there was no one in the whole of Gotham who did not know that the position of the King of Gotham had changed hands.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not here today to ask for trouble, I'm just here to talk to your director about something, can any kind person go and inform your director now?"

Cobot continued.

At this moment, there was finally movement in the hall of the police station.

One of the officers weakly raised his hand, "Mr. Copote, I'd better go and talk to the chief."

Cobot looked at him, smiled and nodded, like a gentleman.

"Very well, then I'll trouble you, Mr. Constable."

It's hard to tell from Copote's smile and polite words that he is the king of Gotham's underworld.

But the officers present did not think so, they knew full well that there were not a few people who died at the hands of the temperamental King of Gotham.

It's too late when you find out he's rude......

That is, after the director received the notice, came out of his office, and took Copote to the director's office with a little respect.

The silence in the hall of the police station was broken again, and the officers were whispering.

"Huh? Toms, why did you say Boss Copote came to the police station?"

"What else could it be, it must have been the same Gordon who caused it, didn't he just catch a robber with a robbery permit?"

"Probably not, it's just an unknown robber, it's enough to send a subordinate, as for Boss Kobot himself?"

"It's not because of Gordon, it's not like you don't know the relationship between Gordon and Copote......

Although the officers were all whispering in private, their eyes were all focused on the door of the director's office.

What Copote is here to do, we'll find out when he comes out.

……

Cobott didn't keep the officers waiting long.

After a while, the gates of the director's office opened.

With a smile on his face and no trace of dissatisfaction, the chief of the Gotham Police Department respectfully sent Copote out of the office.

Subsequently, under the leadership of the police chief, the two people came to the police station for interrogation

Outside the door of the news room.

The director opened the door, and the two walked in.

Through the door of the interrogation room, the officers could see that the two people in the interrogation room were Gordon and the robber who had just been caught.

"Gordon, let them go!" The police chief's face changed, and he reprimanded Gordon seriously.

"Director! He robbed the streets!" Gordon didn't give the director any face, and retorted solemnly, "Everyone gets the stolen goods!"

When he saw Colbert following behind the director, Gordon knew what was going on.

Copote is here to get someone!

But because of this, he can't let people go!

If he obediently lets people go today, then it will further fuel the rampant criminals in Gotham!

Next, those criminals who hold various criminal licenses in their hands will be even more unscrupulous in committing crimes!

Anyway, Copote will come to fish for people!

That would be bad news for the citizens of Gotham!

But it was clear that the police chief was not going to do what Gordon wanted.

"Gordon, release him immediately!"

But Gordon was still unwilling in his heart, and argued with reason.

"Director, do you know what the consequences will be if you let him go today? In a sense, you are acquiescing in the legalization of crime! Legitimacy of the default criminal license! Do you still deserve to be a police officer?"

The police chief also lost his temper, he is also a director anyway, how can he let Gordon, a prickly head, point his nose and scold like this.

"You know what? Do you know how much the crime rate in Gotham City has dropped since the introduction of the Criminal License? Do you know how much the workload of the officers at the Gotham Police Department has dropped? You don't know anything, you only care about your own so-called justice! Now even the mayor has acquiesced to the existence of a criminal permit!"

Gordon was dumbfounded, and to be honest, he really hadn't thought about it.

But......

This simply doesn't make sense!

"You're just drinking to quench your thirst!"

"Gordon, don't say it! It's an order!"

Gordon's face froze.

Command! Another order!

If it is reasonable, Gordon is not afraid at all, but if the director presses down an order, he has to carry it out!

Cobot didn't interject, just smiled as he watched as Gordon stepped forward to uncuff the robber.

The robber looked at Gordon with an arrogant expression, and he didn't forget to mock in his mouth.

"Sheriff Gordon, I said it a long time ago, you would let me out yourself."

Gordon:......

Not to mention how aggrieved Gordon is in his heart!

He once again realized the meaning of crushing people to death at the level of the official university!

After handing over the robber to Copote, Gordon suddenly asked Copote.

"Now in Gotham, is it mandatory to have a criminal license for all criminal activities?"

Cobot raised an eyebrow and looked at Gordon.

"Of course, on my turf, you have to follow my rules! Otherwise, I'll let them know what the rules are!"

He wanted to see what Gordon was trying to do.

"Do the Scarecrows, Kada Ember, and Gotham Beasts also have criminal licenses?"

Copote's smile instantly froze on his face.

Copote: !!!

Gordon, don't hurt me!

What words! What words!

If you want to die, don't pull me!
