Chapter 54: The Real Gotham
The corners of Oswald's mouth twitched, how can the more you listen to the words of the love gift, the more wrong it becomes, you don't even have an idea for me, right?
Made, Gotham has been getting more and more mixed up over the years, and I thought that the Joker was the pinnacle of Gotham, but I didn't expect there to be a master.
Carl looked at him with a grin, and he realized that it was invincible to deal with these people with the Joker's method, and he had learned what he had learned.
"Why, you don't want to?"
"I've got to hear what you're talking about, right?" Copote said this, but in his heart he wanted to fool this madman as soon as possible, let him stay away from him, if necessary, he was not willing to negotiate terms with this madman, anyone has path dependence, what if he gets used to coming here in the future?
Carl looked at him indifferently, people are path-dependent, since he tasted the sweetness from Matt Murdoch, he is no longer willing to work hard, anyway, he will not be ashamed of his conscience, although Carl feels that these two words are very far away from him.
"It's very simple, fund me a sum of money, not much, ten million dollars." Carl said calmly: "Ten million dollars, not only will I not trouble you, but I can even help you solve some things, how about it?" ”
"Not good." Oswald Copote's face darkened, "The death knell is not as dark as you." ”
"What kind of garbage is Deathbell, is his name Slade or Sumin? If it's the latter, I'll probably be scruples, but as for the former, he's a fart! "Carl is arrogant, the death knell is not here anyway, he wants to say whatever he wants. (Su Ming is the protagonist of "The Death Bell of American Comics")
"You may be mistaken." The penguin man decided that this thing was a 24K pure lunatic, so he didn't care about his crazy words, but said with a bitter face: "I mean, my life is not worth so much money." ”
"Bang Bang!" Don't get me wrong, this is Carl clapping, uh, not applauding with the penguin, but applauding with one person, uh, forget it, don't explain, how can you talk more and more back.
"Good acting!" Karl exclaimed: "It's you, Oswald, Hollywood stars have to learn from you how to be a good actor." ”
The penguin man turned his bitter expression, and instantly became ruthless: "Don't talk nonsense with me, Sefu, my life is not worth 10 million, even if you kill me, I can't get this money." ”
"I won't give you a penny!" He stared at Karl and said, "Cobot is never threatened. ”
Oswald looked at this madman, even if he was really crazy, he wouldn't spare his life, right?
Those who rush are afraid of being stunned, those who are stunned are afraid of the horizontal, those who are horizontal are afraid of not wanting to die, and those who do not want to die do not mess with the poor. This sentence was heard by a Chinese laborer when he was working on the docks, and he remembered this sentence and put it into action, which has led to the current prosperity.
It's a pity that he overlooked one thing, Carl is neither stunned nor horizontal, he is too poor to touch.
So Karl got up very calmly and said in a helpless tone: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Copote, we broke down. ”
"By the way, I hope you like that cigar."
Copote's face changed, and the sudden roar disrupted his thoughts, and one of his men almost crawled into the room, and he instantly understood what was going on when he looked at his men's faces.
"Boss! The cafeteria on the first floor exploded, and the councillor we supported was blown up! He gasped and said, "A guest has already called the police, and the police will be there soon!" ”
"Hold them back." The penguin let out a slow breath, stared at him and said, "This has nothing to do with us, understand?" ”
"Who's jumping lately?"
"Yakuza, the people of the archipelago!" The subordinate said, "They have been trying to intervene in the docks lately. ”
"Then that's what they did, now find me a little devil, and then let him commit suicide, you should understand what I mean?" The penguin man said lightly: "They all dared to attack Pearl Harbor, and it must be trivial for them to blow up a congressman." ”
"Yes!" The subordinate bowed his head and left the office.
Copote's indifferent face instantly became extremely fierce, "You're too much, Sergeant. ”
"Is it excessive? It's not too much, compared to your means, where am I now? Karl had a mocking smile on his face, and although Oswald couldn't read his expression clearly, he could also hear the mockery in Karl's tone.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Copote, I seem to have mistaken my cigar." Carl said, "It seems like it's my cigar, not Mr. Clown's, maybe I should try again and see where Mr. Clown's cigar is?" ”
"Enough!" The penguin man stared at the madman, his tone full of coldness: "Only this time." ”
"Good." Carl said, he looked at the penguin man's grim expression, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not a mad dog like a clown, I won't bite people when I see them, I don't need cash for this million, help me find some instruments and materials, and send them to the dock, well, just a week later, how about it, you can try to pay the bills then, but Mr. Copote, you don't want to see your head put under the penguin's butt and use it as a rbq, right?" ”
"As for the remaining five million, help me find someone."
When Copote heard the name of the man, he looked weird: "You're not afraid that I'll find that one to kill you?" ”
"You can try." Carl stood up and shrugged, "If you can kill me, then you can challenge the Joker and Batman to be killed." ”
Seeing Carl's fearless appearance, the penguin man hated it, but there was nothing he could do, he was not a clown who used his men as consumables, nor was he a scarecrow who sucked fear gas for his subordinates to control them, and he was not a mad hatter who thought he was in Wonderland! His subordinates are all normal people, and he can't treat his subordinates like dung, he can only firmly hold on to this foundation.
In a way, the Penguin is the gentleman of villains, and Carl is a bit of a deception.
"I'll give you a suggestion, Mr. Copote." Carl said lightly: "You have been a little too showy recently, supporting parliamentarians, packaging yourself as a philanthropist, and even building an iceberg restaurant to cater to the upper class, do you know what you are doing?" ”
"Gotham never needed that, Gotham needs rules, but the rules don't make them." Carl's words made the penguin man frown, and the two vicious little eyes on the hooked nose flashed with thought, that was his merit, he had long abandoned the so-called dignity and personality, although his purpose was to get them back, but until then, the penguin man would never be satisfied.
"You know Gotham better than I do, Mr. Copote, you're from House Copote, and House Wayne is on the rise, but can they change that?"
"There are only two people who can change Gotham so far, Mr. Copote, you have the qualifications to be the third." Karl's whispers echoed in Oswald Copote's mind, and the false light in front of his eyes was shattered, revealing the city's true nature, which was the boundless darkness.
That's Gotham, and only by understanding its darkness can you become its master.
Copote slowly looked up, and saw that the charm was long gone, and on his desk, there was a cigar with the clown logo, and instead of being afraid, he picked it up and put it in his arms.
"Heh, Gotham."
