Chapter 29: The Gangster Boss Vomiting Blood

Facts have proved that the villains at the beginning of any story are stupid as hell, such as the current president of Gotham University and the police chief Victor. If the current Batman is not a rookie, he would not even look at them if he was really a master in his heyday.

Fortunately, Maroni, the villain who appeared in the middle of the story, is quite powerful. Before Batman went to destroy his lair, the production line had already started, and a large amount of fear gas was produced continuously.

Schiller did not start with this batch of fear gas, because once he succeeded once, the other party would definitely be on high alert.

Although a large amount of fear gas was produced, it was only temporarily stored in the warehouse, because Maroni also knew that this kind of biological weapon must be used in large quantities at one time, and it is best to directly cover the entire block, so as to maximize the effect.

Unfortunately, what he did was exactly what Schiller wanted.

When the three warehouses of the small chemical plant were basically filled with fear gas, Schiller directly opened the gray fog, flew into the warehouse in one breath, and swallowed all the fear gas concentrate.

Schiller dared to do this because Gray Mist told him that Gray Mist, as a symbiote, could directly devour the fear gas and store it, without worrying about not being able to put it away.

But Schiller doubted this, just like a drunkard telling you that it would be okay to store alcohol in his place.

Fortunately, the symbiote was relatively obedient. After he turned into gray mist, he ate up all the fear gas in the warehouse in almost an instant, and he didn't get drunk.

The bottle containing the fear gas did not change at all. The symbiote factor drilled into the molecular structure of the bottle and drank all the fear gas.

The next day, when Maroni came to inspect the warehouse, he was dumbfounded.

The boxes and bottles were placed there very neatly, and there was no trace of anyone entering or leaving the warehouse, but the fear gas just disappeared.

Maroni knew what the consequences would be if this kind of biological weapon was discovered by someone, so although the chemical plant was small, the guards were very strict, especially the warehouse where a large amount of fear gas was stored, which could almost be said to be airtight.

But he couldn't expect the security guards to be alert to a sudden mist in the middle of the night, and just like that, Maroni was completely screwed.

He spent millions of dollars, countless manpower and material resources, and owed favors to several people. The results of this huge amount of time were just one step away from the final touch, but in the end, they were all stolen.

If you say that this thing can't be done at the beginning, it's fine. Now he has invested manpower, money, installed new equipment worth millions of dollars, and hired chemists at high salaries. He fought with the Red Crow Gang, and dozens of good hands died. The funeral expenses have been paid out. Tell me, the finished products were all stolen? ? ?

Who wouldn't vomit blood if this happened!

More importantly, Maroni knew that the police and some weird Batman were targeting him. In order to deal with these people, he mobilized a lot of informants who had not been used before. Almost all of his intelligence network was alarmed by him, causing many informants to die. More than half of the intelligence network was destroyed. This was his decades of hard work.

Just when Maroni had to continue to increase investment and produce another batch of fear gas because of sunk costs, when he went to inspect the production line again, all the instruments and bottles and jars turned into powder.

Maroni's heartbroken voice could be heard throughout Gotham.

Schiller was very surprised by the performance of the symbiote. The symbiote told him that not only fear gas, but also other things, as long as they have molecular structures, the symbiote can first split them and mix them into its own symbiotic factors, and then merge them together when needed to restore the complete object.

This is equivalent to Schiller having a portable storage space that can hold most ordinary items. Whether it is metal, plastic or fiber, the symbiote can perfectly swallow and store them, and then restore them when necessary.

Schiller thought that low-level criminals would do bad things and cause destruction while harming others and not benefiting themselves, while those who were slightly smarter would harm others and benefit themselves, doing bad things while seeking benefits.

But Schiller was different from them. What he was best at was to gain huge benefits for himself while doing some good things.

Who would want to be a bad person if they could be a good person? In Schiller's view, those who only harm others and benefit themselves were just not smart enough.

Since you can choose to gain both fame and fortune, and your conscience will not be condemned, why not do it?

What he did this time not only completely annihilated the Red Crow Gang, but also caused heavy losses to the Maroni family, and also hit the trust relationship between the gangs, the police and the Gotham City Government. The first close cooperation between them ended in such a disastrous situation. No matter how stupid Sal was, he would probably not cooperate with this group of congressmen and police again.

And looking at the current situation, Sal, who suffered heavy losses, did not want to let this group of people go. It didn't matter if he couldn't find the thief. He could squeeze more money out of Victor.

Victor disappeared before he could wait for the trial. No one knew where he went. Maroni was no longer available to take care of Gordon's position, so Gordon naturally became the leader of the Gotham City Police Department's field mission team and got real power for the first time.

The president of Gotham University, who was involved in this incident, also had an accident. Because Batman did not have a private prison for the time being, he threw the unconscious president back to his office after obtaining evidence. But late that night, he was hit by a truck. Although he was rescued in the hospital and saved his life, he was also disabled for life. I am afraid that his ambitions to climb up will not be realized.

The situation of the East District gangs has become more complicated. The Red Crow Gang has been eliminated and the confrontation between the two sides has been broken, but the Maroni family has no strength to unify the East District again.

Several small-scale gangs have united to bite off a piece of meat from the tiger. Of course, Maroni will not let the interests of his family be swallowed up.

For a while, the entire East District became a battlefield for gangsters again. After a mutually destructive exchange of fire, the Maroni family could only reach an agreement with the emerging gangster family, and the two would not invade each other temporarily. However, this was already a huge loss for the Maroni family, and some small gangs in his jurisdiction began to disobey.

Jonathan was not thrown into prison in the end, because he was indeed mentally ill. This was not the result of someone acquitting him, but the authoritative conclusion of the attending physician of the psychiatry department of Arkham Mental Hospital.

Whether Jonathan went to Gotham Prison or Arkham Mental Hospital, it didn't matter, because he was not Scarecrow now and had no ability to run out of these two places.

In addition, the Wayne family caught the pest, the boss of the Wayne Chemical Factory. Batman became famous in Gotham for the first time, Miss Christine was saved and did not suffer any substantial harm, and Schiller also got a large amount of fear gas as a weapon.

A world where only gangsters and criminals were injured was reached.

Although Gotham Principal, Director Victor, or Maroni are not really big bosses in the script of Batman's world, at most they are just a few cannon fodders at the beginning of the story, so they all seem a little stupid, but Schiller knows that the curtain of Batman's world has not been opened yet, and those truly dangerous and crazy criminals have not yet come on stage.

It's just that under his interference, Batman has grown faster, and perhaps he will gain a greater advantage when facing his old opponents.

With the prospect of the DC world, Schiller fell into a dream again, and when he woke up, he was back to the busy New York.

But unfortunately, the first guest he met in the morning was the person he least wanted to see.

"Please sit down, Miss Natasha, I won't say anything polite."

Natasha opposite, wearing a casual dress, doesn't look like a female agent, but a bit like a housewife who gets up to run in the morning. She put on a little light makeup and looked very good. Her hair was not draped behind her, but tied up, and she didn't look like Black Widow at all.

But this is more in line with common sense. After all, she is wearing a black tight leather jacket, with a gun and various tools on her waist. If she appears in Hell's Kitchen like this, she must be waiting for all kinds of hidden guns and even rocket launchers.

Natasha took a sip of coffee and said, "Mr. Schiller, first of all, I want to apologize to you on behalf of Coulson. We wanted to contact you at the beginning because you are Stark's psychological consultant, and we want to know more about Stark's psychological problems. After all, you know how much impact it will have if a large group like Stark Industries collapses."

"But now we come to you because we really need your help, because we really can't find a better psychologist than you."

It must be said that this female agent is really versatile. She is wearing casual clothes, sitting at the table with coffee and talking about it. With her beautiful face, it is really hard for people to have any bad feelings towards her.

It seems that Black Widow is not only aggressive, she is indeed an excellent agent who will change her style according to different situations.

Schiller said, "You don't have to beat around the bush with me. I know why I left Presbyterian Hospital, but you didn't find anything there, right?"

"The only thing that attracted me there is useless to you. I just wanted to complete my research, but you fired me because of some groundless guesses. We should settle this account."

"We don't know the personnel arrangements of Presbyterian Hospital, but we have a better job offer here." Natasha said.

Then she took out a document from her bag and handed it to Schiller. Natasha said, "Now we formally invite you, Mr. Schiller Rodriguez, to become a senior psychological consultant specially invited by the Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency, to provide psychological counseling services to one or more specific members of the support agency."

Schiller said, "I'm sorry, I don't..."

"Just like what you talked about with Mr. Stark, the reward is 1 million US dollars an hour."

"Thank you, happy cooperation." Schiller smiled and stretched out his hand and shook hands with Natasha.
