Gotham is a city with a high employment rate, a low crime rate, and a lot of humanity and benefits, at least on the surface.

The variety of medical benefits and child care can be said to be very comprehensive.

There are more than a dozen large and small welfare homes alone, but there may be less than three that are really helping the people of Gotham.

Even the welfare homes under the Wayne Group are in the business of buying and selling human organs, ostensibly helping homeless children, but in fact cutting them for sale.

As for the other welfare homes, they are either training camps for gangsters or disguises for various places of crime.

What's worse is that in Gotham's external publicity, these welfare homes are dutifully serving the people of Gotham.

As a result, people from other places abandoned everything and ran to Gotham, "the best city in America", and then struggled like a quagmire without being able to escape.

This welfare home, called Warm House, is a typical example of this.

Ostensibly a welfare home for children with burns, it is actually an arson club specializing in the manufacture and sale of explosives and incendiary materials, and the real job is to mass-produce burn patients.

The Pike brothers, the owners of the club, were once arsonists working for Fish Mooney, and after Fish Mooney was killed, they became Falcone's direct men.

But after Falcone's unexpected death, the Pike brothers were left alone.

The main thing is that arsonists are not needed to fight for territory now, and you blow up and burn the territory where you make money, even if you grab it, what's the use?

In this case, there will naturally be no business at the door.

The Pike brothers, who were originally of the Moonlight Clan, have been having a very bad time lately and are not very good-tempered.

In the gloomy powder room, the Pike brothers lit a finger-sized cannon and threw it into the corner when the fuse was almost burned out.

Syllable!

The sound of gunpowder bursting was heard, and the light of the fire illuminated this dark corner.

An emaciated teenage girl was handcuffed to a radiator, and the cannon exploded in her ears, not only scarring her face, but also ringing in her ears.

"Don't! Please, don't! ”

The girl's wail didn't make the Pike brothers stop, and one by one they threw the cannonballs, blowing up the girl screaming again and again.

Seeing the girl's tragic condition, the two brothers laughed instead.

"My dear sister, this is how you will end up running away. We are a family, how can you abandon your family in the most difficult time? ”

The girl handcuffed to the radiator is named Brigitte, their half-sister, but she is only a free maid for the two brothers. As long as you give her something to eat, she will not starve to death, and she can do all the chores at home.

On weekdays, the Pike brothers often punch and kick this sister, and abuse her as entertainment when they are in a bad mood anyway.

Brigitte finally found an opportunity to escape, but she was immediately captured by the Pike brothers.

One by one, the lit cannons were thrown over, and no matter how Brigitte pleaded, the Pike brothers had no intention of stopping

Brigitte's clothes were blown to shreds, large areas of blood and charred black were all over her body, and her ears were shocked to blood.

It wasn't until the poor girl fainted that Brother Pike stopped cursing.

A casual check reveals that Brigitte is still alive, and the two leave her here alone.

Brigitte was unconscious for a long time, and there was movement from the small window next to her.

There was a creaking sound, the window was opened, and a black figure squeezed in through the window. Obviously, it looks like the window is much smaller than this person's body, but the other party can easily squeeze in.

The window was two meters above the ground, but the man stretched out in the air like a cat, and then fell silently to the ground, as if his hands and feet really had meat pads.

The uninvited guest walked up to Brigitte's side and lifted his hood, revealing a face younger than Brigitte's.

This is also a little girl, who looks to be fourteen or fifteen years old.

"Oh my God, Brigitte, are you okay?"

Brigitte opened her eyes with difficulty and said in a weak voice, "Serena? How did you end up here. ”

Serena gritted her teeth and said, "Those two bastards raised by bitches, I'll take you out of here first." ”

Brigitte only saw Serena opening her mouth, her eardrums had long been shattered, and she couldn't hear what she was saying at all, but Brigitte could guess her thoughts, and hurriedly said to her: "Serena, you leave me alone, they will kill you when they see you." ”

"No, if I don't take you away, you'll die here."

Serena pulled out a paper clip and opened the handcuffs in less than a second, before she picked up the scarred Brigitte and was about to leave.

Brigitte must not have been able to get through the narrow window, so she had to go through the front door, but the two of them had just stood up when they heard the sound of the door opening.

Serena had no choice but to put Brigitte on the ground for the time being, and then hide herself in the shadows.

A short knife was grasped by Serena, and she was like a wild cat ready to hunt, ready to strike a fatal blow at her prey.

The door to the production room is opened, and the Pike brothers and another tall weirdo walk in.

The man was wearing a hood and a mask, and all he could see was a pair of murderous eyes exposed.

Serena frowned suddenly, this person looked very difficult to deal with.

Brother Pike said to the weirdo, "Everything is here, how much do you want?" ”

The mystery man said, "I don't need these things, you can move them, and I will give you enough compensation, but tomorrow you will have to give up the place." ”

"Yes, this place is useless anyway, and Gotham has not been able to do business at all lately."

The mysterious man looked around and soon spotted Brigitte lying on the ground.

The mysterious man walked over quickly, looked down at Brigitte, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?" ”

Brother Pike said disapprehantly, "Don't worry, we'll clean it up." ”

Serena clenched the dagger tightly, she was now less than two meters away from the mysterious man, and if he got a little closer, he would find that it was time to fight hard.

However, instead of continuing to get closer, the mystery man turned around and asked Brother Pike, "Who is this child?" ”

"Don't worry, it's just a little bitch, she usually does chores for us, but she suddenly wants to run, so we caught her back and taught her a lesson. Don't worry, she won't give away anything. ”

The Parker brothers thought that the other party was worried that the news would leak out, so they immediately patted their chests and assured.

The mysterious person in front of him was introduced by Sass to take over the territory, and the Pike brothers originally thought that they were going to be driven away directly, after all, they were only in charge of the territory. I didn't expect this person to be easy to talk to, and he was willing to compensate.

With this money, they can live well even if they leave Gotham.

The other party is easy to talk to, and the Pike brothers are naturally very enthusiastic, isn't it just to deal with Brigitte, and they won't take her away anyway, so it's not difficult to do it.

However, just when the two brothers thought everything was fine, the mystery man suddenly turned around and slashed at the Pike brothers' boss with an axe.

I don't know if the axe is too sharp or the mysterious man's strength is too great, this axe slashed at the person, directly dissecting the person.

Blood was dripping and the internal organs were squeezed out.

The eldest of the Pike brothers was stunned and fell to the ground before he knew what was happening.

And his younger brother also didn't react, he had just said well, why did he suddenly move, and was about to pull out a pistol, but the axe was shot quickly within seven steps.

The mysterious man's axe swept and chopped off his head.

The head gurgled a few times and landed at Serena's feet. Serena covered her mouth in fright, afraid to make any noise.

However, the mysterious man spoke, "Come out, Serena, I have already found you." ”
