Phantom Kid in the World of American Comics - Chapter 198
When the Penguin’s voice fell to the ground, the room suddenly fell into silence.
The atmosphere becomes extremely subtle.
Baine’s face became cold, and his entire popularity changed drastically.
“Bain, my friend, don’t rush to get angry.”
I saw the penguin holding the handle of his black umbrella imperceptibly with his right hand, and said with a slight smile on his face.
Bain noticed the Penguin man’s movements. He knew that the umbrella was actually a powerful and dangerous weapon, and he felt a little more dreadful in his heart.
“I don’t know what’s wrong with the nuclear bomb in your hand, so Cionnis made up his mind to tear up the covenant with you, but that doesn’t mean that I will tear my face with you like him.”
“Mr. Bain.”
The penguin held the handle of the umbrella and flicked his fingers.
“Everyone knows that I am a businessman, and I like to do transactions.”
As soon as the voice fell, Baine heard countless loading sounds coming from outside the room.
Bain focused his attention on the Penguin, his muscles collapsed, ready to subdue the Penguin at any time.
“Please don’t mind. Ensuring transaction security is a compulsory course for businessmen. I’ve heard about how strong you are. It’s too dangerous to meet you alone.”
“Life is the biggest bargaining chip, how dare I make fun of it?”
At this moment, the Penguin suddenly removed his hand from the umbrella, as if giving up his weapon.
Baine looked at him suspiciously, wondering what the old penguin was thinking.
“Cobot, what deal do you want to make with me, what do you want?”
“What I want is actually very simple.”
The Penguin chuckled.
“Gotham…”
Bain instantly understood the purpose of the Penguin.
Before today, Bain was the strongest among the three leading forces of Gotham, followed by the Penguin and the Black Mask.
But in fact, this is just an illusion based on the deterrence of nuclear bombs. An outsider in Bain, even if Miranda takes the lead in developing a small force in Gotham, it is similar to the Kobot family or the Ciannis family. Compared with the underworld family that has been in business for more than a hundred years, the true power is simply not enough.
Special Kagemusha League is a newly formed seedling organization.
The only experienced old members are Bain and Thalia.
To this day, this fragile balance has finally been broken.
Although Baine didn’t know whether the news of the Black Mask and the Penguin came from Kidd, or they had spies in his camp.
It is also unclear how much information they know about nuclear bombs.
But one thing at least allows Bain to relax, it seems that no one has discovered that the explosion of a nuclear bomb is an irreversible countdown so far.
Judging from the attitude of the Penguins, they may think that the nuclear bomb in Bain’s hands is just a cover to deceive the government, so they have lost the greatest fear of Bain.
Once the US government is informed of this information, I am afraid that it will do everything possible to eliminate Bain.
The result of this is the reshuffle of the Gotham forces. Obviously, both the Black Mask and the Penguin want to be the new king of Gotham, and the two have adopted different strategies.
At this time, the black mask tore his face, called a war against GCPD, in fact, he was afraid that he wanted to unite with Gordon against Bain.
The real purpose is nothing more than to wash away one’s own power after the collapse of Bain’s forces, to increase the influence of the Ciannis family in the police and political circles, and to gradually erode everything in Gotham.
GCPD is just a springboard. The person that the black mask really wants to unite is probably the mayor of Gotham City.
The typical old-fashioned approach works well ten years ago.
It’s a pity that the black mask was imprisoned in Arkham too early, and didn’t know that the current situation had changed long ago. As a large underworld force, Cyannis dared to influence the political circle so blatantly.
There is no need for opposition from the Pentagon, the White House, or Triangle Wings, the first person who does not agree may only be the Duracell of New York!
Jin Bin established the world’s largest underworld empire in the United States. He allows competing gangs in his native territory, even if these gangs don’t listen to him.
But the bridge between the underworld and the government, the only channel that really allows the underworld leader to control immense power can only be in the hands of Fisk.
Even the Penguins did not dare to cram people into government agencies in an upright manner. The black mask was simply a provocation against Jin.
Of course, the Penguins who have gone through so many years of changes will not ask for trouble like a black mask.
Power is a good thing that can sink the most determined person, but too much power is often poison.
Do you think the biggest gangster in the United States is Kim Nam?
No, it’s the federal government…
The Penguin had already seen this through.
He pursued power, but only in the city of Gotham.
Going further, money is still more fragrant.
So what the Penguins wanted to trade with Bain was straightforward.
The two teamed up to put out the black mask, and then solved the GCPD together.
Moreover, the Penguin has a great appetite, and all the black mask’s territory and resources belong to him, and Bain doesn’t even have a bite of soup.
No way, why did the “handle” fall into the hands of the Penguin?
Bain sneered in his heart.
The Penguin’s deal was exactly what he wanted. He came to the Iceberg Club for this reason, but he didn’t expect the Penguin to raise it first.
Anyway, the countdown to the nuclear bomb is within a few days, and the more chaotic Gotham during this time, the better.
Ever since, Bain happily accepted the Penguin’s proposal.
The two negotiated, don’t act rashly to paralyze the nerves of the black mask, let him think that he wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
Then when the black masked men and horses were almost gathered, they were about to “join up” with Jim Gordon.
Baine and the Penguin suddenly appeared again and wiped out the black mask and GCPD in one fell swoop.
It is easier to incorporate the remnants of the black mask.
Needless to say, they definitely have such strength.
The plan was initially drawn up, and Bain left the Iceberg Club.
Until then, Penguin breathed a sigh of relief, and talked face to face with Bain alone, which was still a very sensitive topic. In fact, he was not as relaxed as it seemed.
He dare to conclude that Bain’s reaction is not much worse. After all, this is the home base of the Penguins. With Bain alone, it is impossible to escape the Iceberg Club.
Basically, it is conceivable that if the two of them don’t talk about each other, I’m afraid they will all die together.
On the other hand, after McGieson got vital information from Lucius, many clues that couldn’t be sorted out were all strung together.
Before the official performance, there is only one thing that needs to be confirmed.
That’s right, the suspected fourth truck was mysteriously missing.
That is, Lucius had been locked up when the statue truck near Wayne Mansion left the Wayne Mansion. Of course, he didn’t know the relevant information.
Although McGinson doesn’t know about these institutions at this time
