Chapter 146: Shocked! Kidd the thief disguised Match Malone in order to ......
Dean disguised himself as Matchmaker Malone and entered the Iceberg Casino, and made a $30 million bet with the Penguins.
What's going on here?
That brings us to last month's Stone of Doom incident.
From Dean's point of view, the Stone of Doom is yet another plot against the Penguins.
Moreover, this calculation is far more dangerous and secretive than the previous Dragon Egg Ruby incident.
If it weren't for Dean's faint sense that something was wrong and deliberately disguised himself as Batman to ask Director Aoife, he would have been unknowingly plotted.
Although there is a system in place to ensure that Dean will not die under the curse of doom for no apparent reason, the penguins use the cursed gem to drop the real gem and deliberately let Dean steal this hand is really vicious.
If the system doesn't have the effect of immunity to curses, then Dean is afraid that he will be more than lucky.
This also made Dean realize that the feud between himself and the penguin people was getting bigger and bigger, and gradually began to be irreconcilable.
But he didn't quite understand why the Penguins had such a hatred for Kidd the Monster Thief.
It's not that Dean doesn't understand that robbing people of their wealth is like killing their parents, but this insistence that Kidd the thief must be killed doesn't quite fit his understanding of the penguins.
Batman caused much more property damage to the Penguin than the monster thief Kidd, and the Penguin didn't say that he was going to kill Batman unremittingly, and people are very good at distinguishing the pros and cons.
The Penguins forced the Chandler family to take out the family heirloom gems, hired the super thug Firefly, and finally didn't kill the monster thief Kidd, which is generally about the same.
As a result, not only did it not stop, but a stone of doom came to continue the plot.
You know, in the world of Gotham, there is rarely that kind of undying hatred, not to mention that one of the best things the Penguins do is turn enemies into friends.
To be honest, at the beginning, Dean imagined that the penguins would spend a lot of money to recruit themselves, but it turned out to verify that the ideal is very plump and the reality is very skinny.
Now let's not talk about heavy recruitment, thank God for when we can withdraw the high bounty of Kidd the Monster Thief in the Underworld.
Dean is not a temperamentless person, the penguin man has calculated him so many times and twice, if he doesn't retaliate back, can he still call people?
Not to mention that he was going to perform in front of Batman soon, and in case the Penguin Man was secretly stirring up something, Dean didn't have that much energy to distract him.
So, while preparing the plan of action for the Cavaliers Stadium, Dean also took the time to pay attention to the Penguins.
Then he found that the Penguin people's whereabouts have been a bit strange recently, and the penguin people, who had been sitting in the Iceberg Club all year round, actually began to change strongholds, and only occasionally appeared in the Iceberg Club once, as if they were hiding from someone.
There isn't much evidence for it, but Dean vaguely thinks it has something to do with the Doom Stone in his hand, and maybe the Penguin Man guessed through some sign that he is not afraid of the Doom Curse, so he is worried that Dean will take the Doom Stone to take revenge on him.
At first, Dean really had this idea, but after thinking about it, the Stone of Doom was bought by the penguins, and the container that could shield the curse from leaking was also bought by the penguins, which means that the medium to shield the curse is something that can be easily obtained by the penguins.
Knowing that the enemy might be plotting against him with the Stone of Doom, Dean believed that the Penguins would definitely buy something similar to protect themselves in the first place.
Moreover, the curse of the Stone of Doom spreads with mutual touch, and only when a person dies will it stop spreading, and a careless accident may cause huge consequences, so Dean gave up the idea of using the Stone of Doom to take revenge on the penguin.
But that doesn't mean Dean is left to the Penguins' unilateral plot and not fight back, as Dean has been looking for opportunities to infiltrate the Penguins' industries long before Bruce held a press conference to challenge Kidd, the thief.
A varying number of monitors and bugs have been installed in places including but not limited to Iceberg Casino, Iceberg Club, Iceberg Restaurant, Iceberg Hotel, etc.
It didn't take long for Dean to get interesting news.
That's O'Kilvie coming to the Iceberg Casino, asking the casino agent to take advantage of the strange thief Kidd to open a gambling game, and said that this is what the Penguin Man meant.
Dean didn't expect that this sneaking melon would still be able to eat himself.
He immediately realized that there was a lot to be done in this game.
So Dean plans to give the Penguins a good blood, and he anticipates what had happened in the casino before.
That's right, the whole process from the sudden jump of "Match Malone" to the bet with the penguin people was all expected by Dean.
He is not so confident that he can escape Batman's eyes 100%, but he has a secret weapon specially prepared for Batman, and he is sure to get out when the mountain is at the end of the day.
Of course, the best outcome is that you don't need it.
Penguins' family has a big business, and 30 million is actually not much, but without so much money for no reason, Dean doesn't believe that he doesn't hurt.
The only thing that is a little beyond Dean's control is that the Penguins don't say a word about getting rid of the casino agent.
The death of the casino agent is not unrelated to Match Malone's opening, but if Dean is particularly guilty, it is really not.
Not because he was cold-blooded and ruthless, but because he had investigated the background of the casino agent.
The whole family is not a good person, he works for the penguin man himself, and his hands are very dirty, and his wife is a pimp, and she was in prison many years ago for buying and selling young girls, and she was just released a few years ago.
And the agent's two sons, one is a collector of the gang, and the other is selling powder.
Needless to say, family structures like this are quite common in the East Side of Gotham, where at least nine out of ten households are family-wide crimes.
As for why Dean disguised himself as Matchman Malone.
It's not because he thinks Match Malone has any mysterious identity, but because Match Malone has a characteristic compared to other criminals in Gotham, that is, he often plays missing.
Match Malone has a more arrogant personality, but his usual style is actually very low-key, he shows up very rarely, and he likes to vacation all over the world, and his whereabouts are erratic, and even his little brother sometimes doesn't know where he is.
Since many months ago, Match Malone has not known where to go, and no one knows when he will return.
Dean pondered for a moment, as if there was no better disguise than this one.
Then what else is there to say, just do it when you think of it, he dressed up according to the usual dress of match Ma Long, and put on a mask, it was perfect.
The sound and basic information can be obtained from the tapes and archives of Match Malone in the GCPD ten years ago, and the old materials in the evidence room of the GCPD archives are not taken care of at all, and it is not difficult for Dean to take them away.
In this way, Dean bets against the Penguin, even if he is really caught by Batman in the end, what does it have to do with Dean?
In addition, the Penguins promised not to interfere in the Kidd Kid at the Knights' Stadium, and pressed the rest of Gotham not to make trouble.
Wouldn't it be a good idea for Dean to focus on fighting Batman without thinking about anything else?
Funny and complaining, this book has been filled with milky white positive energy
