Chapter 169: Prelude to a Big Event

When Batman walked away, Penguin Man breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that his back had already been wet with sweat for some time.

"Damn Batman, he's so blind! And say we're super criminals? He's the biggest villain in the city! ”

As soon as he remembered his embarrassment, the penguin couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and scolded angrily in his heart.

He looked at Okilvi next to him, who had fallen to the ground and had long since passed out, with pity and a little joy in his eyes.

The pity is because the penguin knows very well what it is like to be kicked by Batman, and even if it is not clear, he can imagine the miserable appearance of that door.

As for the good news, O'Kilvi has lost consciousness and doesn't see the penguin's weak attitude towards Batman.

After all, if his subordinates saw what he had just seen, where would his penguin-man face go?

Although even if Okilvi really witnessed everything, the penguins would not kill him for the sake of it, but there will always be some psychological reactions.

But don't think that this is because the penguin man is too kind to his subordinates, purely because he has seen too many people, if the penguin man kills all those who know, then there are basically no people left under his hands.

This is definitely not the first time Batman has forced his way into the Iceberg Club, and it definitely won't be the last.

Like in the beginning, Batman broke in several times when the Penguin was hosting a party, punched him up in front of many guests and his men, and then asked for information.

At first, the Penguins thought about resisting, arranging a large number of bodyguards around them all day long, and always on guard against Batman.

Naturally, the result is needless to say, and it is useless at all.

With the deepening of time and experience, the penguin man learned to behave, not only did he not resist, but even took the initiative to cooperate, asking what to say, of course, here to remove the penguin's own criminal evidence, this information will not be said to kill him.

Like in some special times, Batman will also ask the penguin to help investigate the case, and the penguin will take it all.

Therefore, almost everyone in the Penguin Gang knows these things, but there are really few people who will look down on the Penguin people for this.

There are hundreds of gangs in the entire Gotham, large and small, and hundreds of thousands of underworld members, who dares to say that they are not afraid of Batman?

But if you really dare to say that, you have to be a supervillain, and you are either a supervillain who is particularly bold or has a particularly strong brain.

That being said, the Penguin people know that they are not ashamed to be afraid of Batman, but the hurdle in their hearts is not so easy to overcome.

The king of the underworld in Gotham is submissive to Batman, and everyone feels aggrieved, and no one wants his subordinates to see him like this.

At this moment, the penguin man picked up the phone on his desk and contacted one of his subordinates.

"Send a couple of people to my office, O'Kilvi is seriously injured, take him to the hospital."

It didn't take long for several of his subordinates to come over on stretchers and carry Okilvi up.

——

On the other hand, Batman returns to the Batcave in a state of trepidation after leaving the Iceberg Club.

"Master Bruce, if you are always so sad, it will be difficult to be welcomed by the girls again, and if the Wayne family is cut off, I really don't know how to explain to the ancestors of the past generations."

Alfred served refreshments and food as usual, while sighing.

"In an hour and a half, the Wayne Foundation needs to hold its annual charity gala, and I'm counting on you to meet some noble, beautiful, gentle and generous young lady at the gala, not some female snitch or the eldest lady of the Assassin Order......"

"I'm not in the mood to joke with you right now, Alfred, and I feel like things are going more and more out of my control."

Batman takes off his bat helmet and suit, revealing his muscular muscles, and then changes into Bruce's usual attire.

"Are you referring to the charity gala? I know you don't like that scene very much, but it's a tradition that has been going on since your mother founded the Wayne Foundation. ”

"No, I'm referring to Kidd the Thief."

Bruce shook his head.

"If I'm not mistaken, the last time you mentioned Kidd the Monster Thief, you described him as a 'boring thief who only plays performance art,' and now it looks like your attitude has changed?"

Alfred asked curiously.

"Kidd the Strange Thief not only knows the identities of me and Dick, but he also knows Match Malone."

Bruce's eyes froze.

"Are you serious?"

Hearing the match Malone, Alfred's face suddenly changed.

He's one of Bruce's most trusted people, and how could he not understand what Match Malone means.

"A few days ago, Kidd the Monster Thief disguised himself as Matchman and gambled against Oswald at the Iceberg Casino, I didn't do anything like that, and I found out that the real MatchMalone didn't return to Gotham."

Bruce said in a deep voice.

In the eyes of outsiders, Matchmalone is the leader of the Stickstick Gang, managing a new, medium-sized gang whose main business is arson.

But in fact, Match Malone's true identity is Bruce Wayne!

It was one of Bruce's deepest secrets, known only to the people he trusted most, and even the Justice League didn't know about it, even though they didn't need to.

Match Malone has a very special identity, he is a real criminal in Gotham, and he collaborates with his brother to set fires.

Many years ago, his younger brother was burned to death in an accident, which hit Match Malone so hard that he had the idea of retiring.

So, Match Malone left Gotham and went away sadly, and this trip has been going for several years, and to this day there is still no idea of going back to Gotham.

Coincidentally, at that time, Batman was trapped in Gotham's various gang forces, interlocking, and many clues in the case were forced to be interrupted due to insufficient intelligence, even if the criminals were tortured, the information obtained was quite limited, and more importantly, the efficiency was too low.

He desperately needs a way to get information that can be stable and fast and unnoticed, and Match Malone's retreat gives him a good hint.

That's right, Bruce used Match Malone as his underworld vest, and through this vest, he has mastered the secret information of most of the gangs in Gotham.

Matchmalone is a real person, and he's still alive, but Matchman who is thriving in Gotham isn't Matchman, and Matchman who bets against the Penguin is not Matchman.

In order to avoid the return of the deity to Gotham, Bruce strictly monitors Match Malone, whose every move is under Bruce's control.

"Kidd the Monster Thief must have some kind of supernatural power, he craves the cheers and admiration of the audience, he takes a human bat serum, he knows the identities of me, Dick and Barbara, and he disguises himself as Matchmalone to bet against the Penguin Man......"

Bruce said with a frown.

"Alfred, I don't know what the purpose of Kidd the Thief is, and I can't think of what he did for what he did, he's out of my control, I ...... Can't understand him. ”
