The heavens begin with the king of gotham

Chapter 19 Bruce’s first battle

Because Falcone and the important leaders of Maroni's men died on the same day, while the Penguin made great achievements, there happened to be a vacancy in the Maroni family.

So Penguin naturally took Frankie's place and assisted Maroni in managing gang affairs.

But he still has no territory of his own.

The two major gangs in Gotham, the first and the second, are at war with each other at this point. On the surface, they have suffered heavy losses, and they don't want to continue the fight.

So both sides stopped fighting and returned to their camps.

After Gordon experienced a chase that seemed thrilling to outsiders, Falcone announced that he would stop targeting him, allowing his life to calm down.

This experience has significantly improved Gordon's status in the police station, because one of Gordon's titles has spread to the outside world - "The man even Falcone can't kill."

"You see, as I said, there is no danger."

At this time, Gordon was talking to Li Ming on the phone, and Li Ming spoke briskly on the other end of the phone.

"Yes, it's rare that no one was injured or killed in such a large-scale pursuit."

Gordon's words were filled with joy.

"How's your life at home?"

"Very good. I asked Barbara to go out early to avoid the storm. She was not frightened."

Gordon couldn't help but ask: "But in that case, why bother chasing me?"

"Falcone claimed to the outside world that you killed Oswald, but now he appears in front of the public, and the outside world thinks you let him go, so Falcone must take action to hunt you down."

"What exactly do you want to do?" Gordon was confused.

"Speaking of which, our purpose is actually the same, which is to maintain the stability of Gotham."

"Ha, stable crime?" Gordon said he didn't believe Li Ming's lies.

"Falcone can't prevent crime, but he can restrain criminals so that they don't cause big trouble." Li Ming explained.

"So can Gotham PD."

Li Ming chuckled: "Have you caught all the criminals in Gotham? You can't even handle the corrupt elements in the police station."

"Or is it just you and your partner? As far as I know, your partner Harvey also has a lot of dirty information."

Gordon was silent, he knew what Li Ming said was absolutely right.

His partner, Harvey Bullock.

He was once a passionate young man like Gordon, determined to uphold justice and prevent crime.

But Gotham will always teach such righteous people how to behave.

Therefore, in order to survive, Harvey had no choice but to join in the trouble, until Gordon's appearance awakened his sleeping passion, and from then on, he followed Gordon and turned the police station upside down.

Otherwise, if it had been anyone else, Gordon would have been betrayed to death by his teammates.

Someone like Harvey has a dark history, let alone anyone else in the department.

"The reason why Falcone would rather bear the name of being unable to kill you and lose a little dignity is because he likes your justice." Li Ming struck while the iron was hot.

"Gotham needs police officers like you and gang leaders like Falcone. Otherwise, what would happen to Gotham if Maroni took Falcone's position?"

"Let me think about it." Gordon was confused. He felt that what Li Ming said was indeed in line with the current situation in Gotham, but as a police officer, he did not want to compromise with criminals.

"It doesn't matter, there is still a long way to go in the future anyway."

Li Ming is not in a hurry to convince Gordon. When the gangs start a full-scale war and the whole Gotham is in chaos, Gordon will naturally make a choice.

Just like in the original plot, Gordon also risked his life to save Falcone, hoping that he would come out to take charge of the overall situation.

Now both Falcone and Maroni have entered a period of calm, but only Li Ming knows that this is just the calm before the storm.

Everything is going according to Li Ming's plan.

Now, in addition to exercising every day, he has another hobby, which is picking up Bruce from school.

Li Ming brings different snacks to Bruce every day, which Bruce never had the chance to eat before.

Apart from black tea and waffles, Afu's cooking skills are quite good, but there is still a difference between meals and snacks.

I'm not sure whether it's healthy or not, but it tastes pretty good.

And compared to when Bruce became Batman, eating hamburgers with painkillers for breakfast, a few snacks were innocuous.

But Bruce's departure from school today was obviously much later than usual.

And after coming out, he lost the excitement of the past and trotted towards here with his head hanging down.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Ah Fu asked.

Bruce was hesitant and unwilling to tell at first, but then he told the truth after Li Ming and Afu kept asking.

"Someone insulted my mother."

Li Ming and Ah Fu looked at each other.

Ah Fu said: "I hope you beat that guy until he has teeth all over the floor."

"No." Bruce shook his head. “He is much stronger than me, I am not sure.”

Li Ming realized that although Bruce was very good at fighting, he was still a little unsure in actual combat.

"Don't tell the school." Bruce was in a bad mood and ran to the car without saying anything.

"Of course not." Ah Fu said in a low voice. If anyone wanted to say who was his rival, besides Bruce, it would be the Waynes.

"Are you thinking the same as me?" Ah Fu asked Li Ming.

"Of course." Li Ming nodded decisively, "Every bully should be punished."

Bruce, who was obsessed with grief, did not pay attention to Afu's driving route.

After the car stopped, Li Ming and Ah Fu got out of the car and opened the door. Only then did Bruce realize that the car was not parked in Wayne Manor.

Bruce didn't want to come down at first, but under the eyes of Li Ming and Afu, he came out anyway.

"This is your father's watch, don't lose it."

Ah Fu handed Bruce a watch, and Bruce took it and understood what Ah Fu was thinking.

"Tommy Elliott's."

Afu pointed to one of the houses and encouraged Bruce: "Don't be afraid."

"If someone touches your reverse scales, don't worry, just hit them back hard."

Li Ming also put his hand on Bruce's shoulder to encourage him.

"I'm not afraid, I'm just thinking about what I want to do."

Bruce responded.

"There's no shame in it if you don't want to do it." Afu said gently.

But Bruce looked down at his father's watch on his hand.

“It would be a shame not to do it.”

Then he took a determined step toward Tommy's house.

"You actually know how to provoke generals." After Bruce walked away, Li Ming complained in a low voice.

"It depends on the situation." Ah Fu replied.

Bruce rang the doorbell, and Tommy opened the door.

"What are you doing here?" Tommy glanced guiltily into the room, then came out and closed the door.

"We have unfinished business," Bruce said.

"If you want to tell my parents..."

Before Tommy could finish his words, Bruce punched him hard in the face.

"Ow!"

"Are you crazy!"

Tommy asked with his face covered, he was completely blindsided by Bruce.

"You are not allowed to talk about my mother!"

Unexpectedly, Bruce didn't stop at all and knocked him to the ground with another punch. Even though Tommy was two heads taller than Bruce, he was still beaten without any strength to fight back.

Then Bruce pulled Tommy up by his collar and hammered him to the ground again. The boxing action was very standard.

"Master Bruce."

Seeing that it was almost done, Ah Fu finally came over and stopped him.

"How's it going? Did you break any bones?" Ah Fu asked Tommy concernedly.

"He wants to kill me!"

Tommy pointed an accusation at Bruce.

"Yes, he wants to kill you."

To Tommy's surprise, Ah Fu was not moved at all. Instead, he warned him: "Next time you meet the young master, remember this."

"At the same time, remember, I didn't stop him."

After teaching Tommy a lesson, Alfred walked back with Bruce with a smile restored on his face.

"What do you want for dinner?"

"Pizza."
