Chapter 258: Superheroes Need to Eat Too
After leaving Grandi in the car, Copote walked into Arkham Asylum alone, feeling apprehensive.
Although this is not the first time he has been here, it is also not the first time Cobot has met Levi.
On the contrary, Copote is an old acquaintance of both Arkham Asylum and Dean Levi.
But every time Copote came here, his heart was still full of apprehension and uneasiness.
Especially the question he asked this time, Copote was not the slightest bit sure!
But the moment Colbert stepped into Arkham Asylum, the apprehension in his heart disappeared in an instant!
It wasn't that Colbert had guessed Dean Levi's reaction or had lost his awe of Dean Levi.
Rather, it was replaced by horror.
Copote sees an acquaintance at the gate of Arkham Asylum - Warwick.
When Warwick saw Copote emerge from the courtyard gate, a smile appeared on his face.
It's clear that Warwick is here to wait for him!
"Copote, you're here, Dean Levi asked me to wait for you here."
As Warwick spoke, Copote's conjecture was finally confirmed.
Now Colbert was more and more convinced that Dean Levi must know what he wanted to ask.
He came here to ask Dean Levi for advice, but it was a temporary idea, not to mention that he had Levi's intelligence officers by his side, and even if he did, he probably wouldn't be so timely.
The only person who knew what he was doing was Grandi, who was waiting in the car outside the Arkham Asylum gate, and there was no way or opportunity to report to Levi.
All things considered, the only possibility is that Levi has other information channels that he didn't expect!
And this information channel has absolute timeliness!
You can stay on top of most of what is happening in Gotham City in real time!
The reason why Copot didn't dare to guess that Levi could control all the real-time happenings in Gotham City was because if it was true, it would be incredible!
But because of this, Copote couldn't guess Dean Levi's thoughts more and more!
Copote's face was apprehensive, while Warwick had no such concern.
Cobot isn't his own right now, at most half of his own.
And Warwick, who has already loaded the carrier of the hero template, can be called their own people!
If they really want to know something, just ask Dean Levi.
For the most part, Dean Levi is pretty good to his own people, and is basically responsive to his needs—even though they don't have them themselves most of the time......
Led by Warwick, Colbert was taken to the dean's office.
Warwick shrugged at him, motioned for him to go in, and then turned and went downstairs.
Copote stood in front of the office door for only a moment, then gritted his teeth and pushed open the office door.
Although he has a heartfelt fear of Dean Levi, Copote can achieve the position of underground overlord, and he is naturally not timid.
At this point, the bow has not been cut back!
The moment Copote's fingers touched the office door, he had already prepared for the worst in his mind.
However, when he pushed open the door to the dean's office, Levi, who was sitting in the office, reacted completely beyond Copter's expectations.
"Colbert? You're finally here." Levi sat behind his desk and said with a smirk at Copote. "Looks like you've been busy lately, I haven't seen you in a while, and I almost thought you were avoiding me."
When Copote heard Levi's words, he was shocked.
Dean Levi was indeed right.
He had been deliberately avoiding Arkham Asylum and Levi lately, not because of what he had done, but simply because of his visceral fear of Levi
Consciousness didn't want to have anything to do with Levi.
Although according to Levi's current influence in the city of Gotham City, it is completely impossible for him, the underground overlord, to hide from Levi for the rest of his life.
But Cobot still chose this way of self-deception.
Now that he was exposed by Levi, Copote wanted to be annoyed and angry, but he didn't dare!
Copote could only look at Levi with a sneer on his face.
"If Dean Levi is this, how can I hide from you? I wish I could be by your side day and night to listen to your teachings."
"It's just that there's been too much going on in the gang lately, and I'm still worried about the old city renewal plan in Arkham......
Speaking of this, Copot paused, and he seemed to feel that it was really hard for people to believe that he was talking so empty-toothed.
So he took out a check from the bosom of his suit, then put it on the desk with both hands, and said respectfully.
"Dean Levi, this is a little bit of my heart for the medical cause of Arkham Asylum, please give me a chance to do good deeds."
Levi looked at the check on the desk and the amount of $10 million in the check, and pulled the corners of his mouth.
He smiled at Copote.
"Then I will thank Mr. Copote for his kindness on behalf of the patients of Arkham Asylum."
Didn't Levi know that Colbert was lying?
Or maybe he didn't know that Cobot had been deliberately avoiding him lately?
No!
Levi knows it all!
However, Levi didn't care about Copote's attitude towards him, for him, Copote's own value was enough to make him much more tolerant of him!
Even Levi didn't care about the $10 million that Copote had just "donated".
After all, he now has in his hands the vast inheritance of the Owl Court and the Galevin family, which rivals the Wayne family's estate.
How so......
To use an inappropriate example as an analogy, that is, a full-level god costume in the game is condescendingly tolerant when facing a first-level novice wooden sword trumpet.
What's more, Cobot dared to avoid him, but he didn't dare to provoke or ignore him!
"Alright, alright!" Levi pursed his lips, then waved his hand at Colbert. "These questions don't matter, now let's talk about the things you care about!"
"Didn't you have something to ask me about this time?"
When Colbert heard Levi's words, his heart was even more in awe of Levi!
It's true that no one knows about his visit to Arkham Asylum, but there is a chance that someone will see him.
However, he came to ask Levi a question, but no one knew about it except himself and Grandi!
Could it be that Grandi is Dean Levy's man?
The thought only flashed through Colbert's mind, and he was temporarily strangled to death!
Because Grandi has been following him since he became the underground overlord of Gotham City, it is difficult to make people doubt Grandi's loyalty.
And, loyalty aside, Grandi didn't have any chance to report to Dean Levi today!
Wrong!
When he asked Grandi to inform the bank to prepare the money, Grandi did leave his sight......
For a moment, Copote's mind was full of thoughts.
"Copote?"
It wasn't until Levi's second call that he reawakened Copote from his messy thoughts.
"Eh, I'm listening, Dean Levi."
Cobott squeezed out a smile again, but it was a very reluctant smile.
"Didn't you ask me something? Are you going to ask me about the true identities of Berserker and Batman?"
"Huh?" Cobott was even more overwhelmed at this moment, and subconsciously asked, "How do you know?"
Now Copote is pretty much sure, Ken
Someone must have sent a message to Dean Levi, otherwise how could he have known in such detail!
As for whether or not the person who reported the message was Grandi, this one is to be determined.
"Guess." Levi responded casually.
He did guess this, he could monitor the entire Gotham City through his vision, but he didn't have the ability to see through people's hearts!
In fact, as long as you combine the underground gambling game that Copote has just opened recently, you can basically guess it.
But in the heart of Copote, who was already disturbed at this time, it would not be so simple.
Seeing through people's hearts?
Naturally, Colbert would not believe in this possibility!
What do you mean by that?
When suspicion arises, the charge is established.
He's getting more and more suspicious of Grandi now!
Although Colbert already doubted Grandi's loyalty, he knew what was more important now.
"Yes, Dean Levi, you're still so wise." Copote slapped the ass quietly.
Of course, Levi didn't care about that, and he didn't care what Copote thought.
Levi just shook his head.
"I do know who Berserker and Batman really are, but I can't tell you just yet."
Just as Corbett was about to say something, Levi waved his hand at him and interrupted him again, "However, what you are worried about is nothing more than winning or losing the underground gambling game, you can rest assured that the true identities of these two people will never be revealed, and it will not have any impact on the underground gambling game you set up."
All the words that Copote wanted to say were choked in his throat.
Dean Levi even knew what he was worried about?
This gave Copote an inexplicable discomfort of being completely in the palm of his hand.
As for the true identities of Berserker and Batman that Levi said would not be revealed, Colbert naturally had no doubts.
Since Levi said so, there must be his reasons.
Moreover, even if the true identities of these two men are revealed, as long as Levi does not want to, Copote believes that no media in the entire Gotham City will dare to report on it.
It's not about the influence of power, it's about power.
Power may influence worldly speech, but strength can kill people!
After getting the answer he wanted from Levi, Cobot didn't continue to dwell on it.
He just bowed respectfully to Li Wei and said goodbye, then turned and left the office.
He didn't even stop at Arkham Asylum, walked out of the door of Arkham Asylum, and then greeted Grandi and set off for his lair.
"Boss, what did Dean Levi say? What are the real identities of those two guys?"
On the way back, Grandi sat in the driver's seat, driving the car while looking at Copote through the rearview mirror.
"It's okay, it doesn't matter, all the odds in the underground casinos are the same." Copote instructed Grandi, but his eyes lingered on Grandi's face through the rearview mirror.
At this point, Colbert's face was calm, and no one could guess what he was thinking by his expression.
"Okay, Boss, what do we need to do?"
"It's business as usual, we don't have to do anything."
The two of them chatted all the way, as usual.
But only Cobot himself knew, and he had already begun to test his conjectures.
Of course, during the small talk on the road, Copote did not mention to Grandi the suspicion he had just generated in his conversation with Levi.
And just like that, the two returned to their lair stronghold.
Nothing has changed.
The gambling game in the underground casino is still the same as it was in the beginning, constantly absorbing money from Gotham City.
Maybe the change, only
It's just Colbert's heart.
There are no secrets in Gotham City, at least for people outside of the bug levels like Levi and Arkham Asylum.
Even the underground overlord of Colbert is no exception.
It's just that the timeliness of the information about him is a little slower.
After all, Copote's departure from the stronghold with Grandi wasn't completely unknown to anyone else.
Soon, the rest of Gotham received the information that Colbert had taken Grandi to an Arkham asylum.
Of course, what happened inside Arkham Asylum is not something that anyone else can know.
Even Bruce Wayne doesn't know.
He spread ultrasound detection systems throughout most of Gotham City, and Arkham Asylum was one of his few blind spots.
However, Bruce, who has an extremely high IQ, also roughly deduced the purpose of Copter's trip to Arkham Asylum based on Copote's recent behavior.
Cobott is exploring who he really is—and Bruce is not surprised by this.
In other words, in fact, the vast majority of people in Gotham City are curious about their true identity.
But what makes Bruce feel a little apprehensive is that Dean Levi happens to be one of the few people who knows his true identity!
He wasn't sure if Levi would tell Copote the truth.
Bruce can only keep an eye on Copote.
When Bruce discovers that Cobot has returned to the stronghold, he hasn't moved for a long time.
He was sure that Levi probably hadn't told Colbert the truth.
Bruce was relieved and instead continued to focus on the Jerome and Jeromer brothers.
These two brothers are now in Gotham at the same time, and they are by far Gotham's biggest threat!
As for the Berserker, Barnes, he has no worries about this.
He was his own person in the true sense of the word, so he naturally knew that Dean Levi would not betray him.
Even the battle between himself and Jerome took place with the tacit approval of Dean Levy.
Barnes learns of the underground gamble that Colbert has set up using their true identities, and he falls into deep thought.
After a brief period of contemplation, Barnes finally made his decision.
Well! Hide your identity and bet yourself at an underground casino!
The odds of your own identity are scary!
When your true identity is really revealed, there are definitely not a few bets that can be won!
Now that I have resigned from the position of director, I am afraid that there will be no source of income in the short term.
No way, superheroes need to eat too......
