I'm going to have a fight with Superman

Chapter 116 The Owl's First Appearance

"I have always admired Harley, her fighting will and talent, but I didn't expect you to appreciate her so much, Boss."

Seeing Harry and Gordon walk out of the gate of the manor side by side, the bald Sass said with a strange expression.

"Four months ago, I wanted to kill her; three days ago, I thought I could buy her with profit; after yesterday, I decided to make friends with her."

Falco sniffed the roses in the towel bag and asked meaningfully, "Do you know why my mind keeps changing?"

Seth shook his head.

"Four months ago, I was alerted by her madness and strength, and you also know how crazy He Dao mercenaries were towards her during that time.

As long as she wants, she can respond to all calls and quickly form a new gang.

I was worried that she would become the source of chaos and break Gotham's long-standing peace and harmony, so I became murderous.

But in the past four months, instead of being crazy anymore, she has completely calmed down.Even though she often went to Dr. Strange to see a psychiatrist, she didn't go crazy anymore.

Now that she no longer takes the initiative to destroy my rule and the tranquility of my Gotham, I will naturally make money with peace of mind, and I don't want to provoke the land dragons who make the Crusaders suffer.

Yesterday, when I heard that she was arrested by Gordon voluntarily, I became interested and wanted to see what she could do for Gordon.

So, there is a test today.

I am very satisfied with the result.

I have dealt with all kinds of people in my life, and I know what kind of people are suitable for business partners, what kind of people are suitable for subordinates, and what kind of people can make friends. "

Seth frowned and said, "I don't doubt your judgment, but you never lack friends, right?
Why did you choose Harley, and let her ascend to the sky in one step, becoming a member of the family, on an equal footing with me, Fish, Nicola, etc., and the family status is second only to you? "

Falcone sighed: "Old Inzaghi at the Long Island Pier, just a retired boatman, I have been friends with him for more than 30 years just because he is from Sicily.

I still have many friends like Inzaghi.

But at critical times, none of these old friends in life can be my reliance in career.

Most, at my funeral, they mourned more real than anyone else.

You can never have too many friends, especially now that people in the family have changed their minds, and I need a career friend even more. "

Sass was silent.

He understands the plight of BOSS.

The more than ten dukes under the old king's command are roughly divided into three factions: first, the veteran Italians, who have fought against the old godfather decades ago, those who survived, or their descendants; The recruited outsiders are Chinese, Russians, and Latin Americans, represented by the Russian Nikolai; third, the elites absorbed from Gotham over the years are represented by Fish Mooney.

The old Italians are naturally loyal to the old godfather, but they also have small thoughts, thinking that the old godfather is old and should choose a prince from among them.

The desire of the Russian Nikolai is very naked and naked. He has been suppressed by the old godfather, and he has never given up the idea of ​​​​being the boss.

Fish, who was raised by the old godfather since she was a child, should have become the old godfather's arm at this time-because she is a woman, the old godfather took it for granted that she would not have the ambition to be the boss.

Then reality hit him in the face, Fish was a heroine, more dishonest than the rest.

A large part of the reason why the battle for Arkham with Maroni dragged on for so long and seemed so strenuous was due to the internal instability of the Falcone family.

On the other side, walking on the winding driveway outside the manor, Gordon looked at Harry's right hand for the nth time.

The ring that reflected the crimson light in the setting sun.

"Harry, you really got a 'Ring of Power' from Falcone?" He still couldn't believe it.

Kissing the ring only means being accepted by Falcone and becoming a member of the family.

If Falcone personally bestows a ring representing family power, it means that Harry is eligible to create his own "Quinn Family" under the Falcone family.

For example, the stolen goods stolen by the kitten have been sold to Muskie under the command of "Sister Fish" Fish.

Muskie reports directly to Fish and is part of the Fish family.

But if you zoom in to the entire Gotham, Muskie also belongs to the Falcone family.

Almost copied the Western feudal lordship system, the subjects of the courtiers are not the king's courtiers, but the nobles of the kingdom.

"Hey, I didn't expect that, I became the boss of Gotham all at once." Harry straightened his palm, looking at the ruby ​​ring, always feeling a little unreal.

"Do you have a territory and a family? If not, you are just your own boss." Harvey withdrew his envious and jealous eyes and said sourly.

"Even if I'm alone, when your chief sees me now, you still have to call 'Miss Halle'!" Halle sneered.

"Harry, you can have a brighter future." Gordon hesitated.

"Is there any prospect of being caught by you and sent to prison? Now, I admit in front of you, yes, the masked female gunman on Bali Street is me, come, come and catch me!"

Harry was imposing, pressing every step of the way, Gordon struggled, staring at her without retreating a step.

"Jim, don't be impulsive!" Harvey pulled his partner back and said with a wry smile, "This is reality! I warned you the first day you came to the police station—don't be a hero."

"Jim!" Barbara also hugged her fiancé's arm, wanting to cry.

After staring at Harry for a long time, Gordon sighed: "Harry, thank you for everything you did for me and Barbara, I know what you gave up for us.

Actually, before I thank you, I still owe you a 'sorry'.

It was I who revealed to the crusaders the news that you lived in seclusion on Bali Street, which caused you to be besieged by gcpd.

As a man, I broke my promise and failed to fulfill my promise to you.

As a police officer, I failed in my duty and not only failed to protect the plaintiff, I betrayed you.sorry! "

"No need to say I'm sorry. I'm not afraid to tell you that I bloodbathed Gotham Cathedral and forced out all the secrets.

You tried your best at that time, but your ability was limited. After a hard fight, you were captured, and you were pointed at your head by the crusaders.

And the person who betrayed me was not you, but your partner Harvey Bullock! "Harry pointed to the split head and said indifferently.

"That's why you didn't save me? But I did my best for you. I fought hard and was captured, and someone pointed a gun at my head." Harvey was a little excited.

"If I really blame you, I would have found a chance to shoot you down a few months ago. I didn't save you, just because you are a mole!" Harley sneered.

"You're talking nonsense!" Harvey turned pale and subconsciously glanced at Gordon.

Gordon also looked at Harvey, and said in a trembling voice, "What does she mean?"

"She's talking nonsense, I'm not Falcone's spy."

Harvey waved his hands and shouted excitedly, as if he had been wronged.

"What proof do you have?" Gordon turned to Harry.

Harry smiled wryly and shook his head, "Think about it, why did Sass kill you?
You played Falcone because you didn't submit the vote.

But what about your partner, he is an old police detective with ten years of experience!
Don't say you don't understand what this means.

With such a handle in Falcone's hands, why would he dare to point a gun at him?
Thinking about the blank bombs, the scenes that were obviously prepared in advance, does the boss of Falcone have the ability to predict? "

"Falcone promised me that he would not hurt you, so—" Harvey turned pale, too ashamed to look at Gordon.

"Brother, I can't help it, just like what the witch Harley said, you let the penguin go, you are clean, you have nothing to worry about, but I—"

"Stop it!" Seeing the man in his 40s looking embarrassed, with red eyes, and almost crying in the street, Gordon stepped forward and hugged him.

"Harvey, stop talking, I forgive you."

"Jim." Bearded Harvey put his face on Gordon's shoulder and cried.

Harry got goosebumps all over his body, and touched Barbara who was stunned beside him, "Be careful, your husband may be snatched away."

Barbara giggled, "Thank you, Halle."

"Harry, I think I have to say sorry to you again."

Gordon let go of his partner, his eyes clear.

"I appreciate everything you've done for me and Barbara, and I really appreciate you treating me as a friend, but I think from this moment on, we're going our separate ways."

Looking at his decisive eyes, Harry asked strangely, "Because I became a big boss?"

"Because I'm a policeman!" Gordon said in a deep voice.

"Have you compromised many times?" Harry asked.

"That's right, I want to defend the dignity of the law, but I have compromised with the gangsters and the Crusaders many times, for my own life, for the safety of my family and friends."

Gordon looked at her frankly, "Harry, I'm 35 years old and I'm a grown man who has seen it all.

The ideal in my heart comes from my own experience, not the passion of a teenager.

It cannot be quenched, nor will it be defeated by setbacks.

I am willing to defend the law with my life, just because the law can bring benefits to more people, not to gain the reputation of integrity, nobility, and greatness by defending the law.

Even if I compromise again and again, I will still stick to my ideals, even if you call me hypocritical, it doesn't matter. "

"Well said, come on, I like you!"

After giving a compliment with a thumbs up, Harry quickened his pace and calmly left the small team of several people.

"Gordon, you shouldn't say that." Harvey hesitated, "She will be a good friend, really."

"I know," Gordon said in a deep voice, looking at Harry's back, "It's because she's a good friend that I can't make friends with her."

"Why?" Barbara wondered.

Gordon said: "I'm worried that my belief in law and justice will be shaken when I face her who committed a crime in the future. I might as well cut off the relationship now, and we will get along more naturally in the future, and"

After a pause, he smiled bitterly: "She considers me a friend only because I have faith and am a good policeman.

Abandoning my ideals, flattering her to curry favor with her—she is such a big boss, I am no different from other police officers, and on the contrary, I am not qualified to be her friend.

Is it contradictory and ironic? "

Leaving Falcone Manor, Harry first went to the Strange Psychological Clinic.

"Sure enough, I said yesterday that you will definitely come back today." Dr. Bald didn't have any surprises.

"It's really a coincidence this time." Harry roughly talked about the experiences of the past two days.

Strange's expression changed, and he asked, "You haven't chosen a site yet?"

"One radish, one hole. My new radish has no holes. However, Boss Falcone said that he will arrange tasks for me tomorrow." Harry said lazily, lying on the armchair.

"I'll give you a suggestion, do you want to hear it?" Strange said mysteriously.

"Do you have any inside information?" Harley became interested.

"If Falcone asks you to choose a territory, you choose Arkham Island!"

"Falcone wants to build a high-end apartment in Arkham. It's a billion-dollar project. Can he give it to me?"

"Hey, high-end apartment complexes are worthless, so you choose remote and desolate places, for example, Indian Hill!
If you believe me, do as I say, if you don't believe me, pretend I didn't say anything. " Strange whispered.

"Can't you make it clearer?" Harry said.

Strange hesitated for a moment, and said, "Harry, I've been with you for so long, and I already consider you a friend. But some secrets are too important, and telling them out clearly will kill both of us.

All I can tell you is that Falcone isn't the apex of Gotham's power either.

If you have apparent ownership of Arkham, you have a good chance of reaching that circle. "

Harley wasn't sure what the highest circles of power in Gotham were referring to when she left the small clinic.

politician?Chaebol?

Until she returns to her owl airship through the sewers.

Looking at the airship that resembled an owl's head, she suddenly realized: Dr. Hugo was probably implying the owl court, and there was their important industry under Indian Hill!
