Oswald's mouth twitched. Why do the words "love gift" sound more and more wrong? You don't even have ideas about me, do you?
Mudd, Gotham has been getting more and more popular in recent years. I thought the clown was the pinnacle of Gotham, but I didn't expect there are masters.
Karl looked at him with a smile. He found that using the clown method to deal with these people was invincible, and he learned it.
"What, you don't want to?"
"I have to listen to what you are saying, right?" Cobot said this, but in his heart he wanted to fool this madman as soon as possible and get him to stay away from him. If necessary, he was unwilling to negotiate terms with this madman. , everyone is path dependent, what if he gets used to coming here in the future?
Karl looked at him indifferently. Everyone is path dependent. Ever since he tasted the sweetness from Matt Murdoch, he has never been willing to work hard again. Anyway, this will not offend his conscience. Although Karl I feel like these two words are very far away from me.
"It's very simple. Support me with a sum of money, not much, ten million U.S. dollars." Karl said calmly: "For ten million U.S. dollars, not only will I not cause you any trouble, I can even help you solve some problems. How about that?"
"Not very good." Oswald Cobblepot said with a dark face, "Deathstroke is not as dark as you."
"What kind of rubbish is Deathstroke? Is his name Slade or Su Ming? If it's the latter, I might worry about it. As for the former, he's nothing!" Carl is very arrogant. Anyway, Deathstroke is not here, so he can say whatever he wants. (Su Ming is the protagonist of "The American Comic Death Knell")
"You may have misunderstood." Penguin believed that this guy was a 24K pure lunatic, so he didn't care about his crazy words, but said with a bitter look on his face: "I mean, my life is not worth so much money. ."
"Papa papa!" Don't get me wrong, this is Carl applauding, uh, not applauding with the Penguin, but applauding alone, uh, forget it, I won't explain why he kept going back as he kept talking.
"Good acting skills!" Carl praised in admiration: "As expected of you, Oswald, Hollywood stars must learn how to be a good actor from you."
The Penguin suddenly turned bitter and became vicious: "Don't talk nonsense to me, Se Fu, my life is not worth ten million. Even if you kill me, I can't get the money back." ."
"I won't give you a penny!" He stared at Karl and said, "Cobot will never be threatened by anyone."
Oswald looked at this madman. Even if he was truly mad, he would not risk his life, right?
Those who rush are afraid of those who are stunned, those who are stunned are afraid of those who are violent, those who are violent are afraid of those who risk their lives, and those who are desperate do not offend those who are too poor to touch them randomly. Copot heard this sentence from a Chinese laborer when he was working at the dock. He remembered this sentence and put it into action, which resulted in the current prosperity.
Unfortunately, he overlooked one thing. Karl was neither stupid nor arrogant. He was too poor to touch randomly.
So Karl stood up calmly and said in a helpless tone: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Cobot, we have broken down."
"By the way, I hope you like that cigar."
Cobot's expression changed. The sudden roar disrupted his thinking. One of his men rushed into the room almost crawling. Looking at his men's faces, he understood something instantly.
"Boss! The restaurant on the first floor exploded, and the congressman we supported was killed!" He gasped: "A customer has already called the police. The police will be here soon!"
"Hold them." Penguin breathed out slowly, stared at him and said, "This matter has nothing to do with us, do you understand?"
"Who is dancing more lately?"
"Yakuza, those people from the islands!" said his subordinates: "They recently wanted to intervene in the dock."
"Then this is what they did. Now find me a kid, and then let him commit seppuku. You should understand what I mean?" Penguin said calmly: "They all dare to attack Pearl Harbor, and they will definitely be killed by the bomb. A congressman means nothing to them."
"Yes!" The subordinate lowered his head and left the office.
Cobot's indifferent expression instantly turned extremely fierce, "You've gone too far, Se Fu."
"Is it too much? Not too much. Compared to your methods, where am I?" Karl had a sarcastic smile on his face. Although Oswald couldn't see his expression clearly, he could still hear the tone in Karl's tone. The meaning of ridicule.
"Mr. Cobot, I'm sorry, I seem to have got the wrong cigar." Carl said: "That seems to be my cigar, not Mr. Clown's. Maybe I should try again and see where Mr. Clown's cigar is?"
"That's enough!" Penguin stared at the madman, his tone full of coldness: "Only this time."
"Very good." Carl said. He looked at the sinister expression on Penguin's face and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not a mad dog like the clown. I won't bite anyone in sight. I don't need cash for these ten million. Help me find some instruments and materials and send them to the dock. Well, just in a week. How about you try to default on the debt then? But Mr. Cobot, you don’t want to see your head put on the penguin’s ass. Next, let’s be their rbq?”
"As for the remaining five million, help me find someone."
When Cobot heard that person's name, he looked strange: "Aren't you afraid that I will find that person to kill you?"
"You can try." Carl stood up and shrugged, "If you can really kill me, then you can challenge to kill the Joker and Batman."
Seeing Carl's fearless look, Penguin was filled with hatred, but there was nothing he could do. He was not a clown who treated his subordinates as consumables, nor was he a scarecrow who gave his subordinates fear gas to control them, nor did he still think that he The Mad Hatter in Wonderland! His men are all normal people. He cannot treat his men like dirt. He can only hold on to this inheritance firmly.
To a certain extent, Penguin is a gentleman among villains, and Carl really bullies him a bit.
"Let me give you a suggestion, Mr. Cobot." Karl said calmly: "You have been a little too pushy recently, supporting congressmen, packaging yourself as a philanthropist, and even establishing an Iceberg restaurant to cater to the upper class. You know you are What are you doing?"
"Gotham never needs these. What Gotham needs are rules, but they don't make the rules." Carl's words made Penguin frown, and the two vicious little eyes on his hooked nose flashed with thought. , that is his advantage. He has long abandoned the so-called dignity and personality. Although his purpose is to get them back, Penguin will never be satisfied before that.
"You know Gotham better than I do, Mr. Cobot. You are a member of the Cobot family. The Wayne family is at its peak, but can they change everything?"
"There are only two people who can change Gotham so far. Mr. Copot, you have the qualifications to become the third one." Carl's whisper echoed in Oswald Copot's mind, before his eyes The false light was then broken, revealing the city's true nature, which was boundless darkness.
That is Gotham, and only by understanding its darkness can you become its master.
Cobot slowly raised his head and found that the talisman had long gone, and there was a cigar with the Joker logo on his table. He was not afraid, but picked up the cigar and put it on his table. In arms.
"Oh, Gotham."
