Chapter 76: Driving the Tiger to Devour the Wolf (Part 2)

"I know, I know, who do they think they are? The Godfather is old, so they can do whatever they want? Then I can only say that they think they are not dying fast enough..."

In a bar in the East District, a bearded man was holding a cigar. He was the second in command of the Coca Gang. The bartender brought a glass of water and whiskey over. The bearded man took a sip of the wine and took a puff of the cigarette. While exhaling the smoke, he said: "They have not experienced that era, they don't understand..."

"The Godfather only wants sincerity." He tapped the table with his fingers and said in a strong tone: "He is telling us that if we want to get a piece of the pie here, we must obey his orders."

"Just like what he did many years ago, how he gathered the entire Gotham gang and established the Twelve Families, those young people will never understand."

He said to The man in front was a thin man, not as burly as him, with a pale and gloomy face. He was the head of the bar and a member of the Comet Gang, one of the four giants on Elizabeth Street. He smoked a cigarette and said, "I heard from my boss, you know, our big boss is the first leader of Elizabeth Street, and he used to work under the Godfather."

"Those bastards from Metropolis thought they had provoked the Godfather, and the Godfather didn't move for a while, which meant he was afraid of them. They were so naive. The Godfather wouldn't do it himself..."

"He doesn't need to do it himself." The bearded man said, "Gotham is no longer the era where the big boss needs to go out and shoot."

"He is telling these gangsters that although he is old, as long as he is still alive, he will always be the underground king of Gotham." The thin man said.

"The attending doctor was injured so the mental hospital closed down? Only those young men who just entered the industry would believe this nonsense, damn attending doctor!"

"What attending doctor is needed there? Go and cure the cockscomb head on the street next door for his stinky problem of trembling all over when he sees eggs?"

The thin man and the people around him laughed together. The bartender wiped the wine glass and said, "Where can you find an attending doctor? I think I can do it. Anyway, it's just a matter of calculating the bills and writing medical records. There's no need for a doctor there. Patients to be treated?"

"That's why I said that these are all lies. The Godfather deliberately cut off this industry to let the gangsters know that if they want to make money with him, they have to be obedient and help him deal with those enemies, otherwise they will never make money."

The bearded man took a sip of wine and grinned and continued: "Many years ago, the Godfather did this. He took two poppy plantations and threatened the gangs in the downstream industry to help him deal with the biggest troublemaker at the time, that... Anthony. That was a big business. If it was true If you can get the products of the two plantations, you will definitely make a lot of money. As a result, you all know that the head of the Frenchman was placed on the Godfather's table the next day. "

"They won't live long." The thin man said gloomily, "The sissies in Metropolis should go back to their lair and don't get involved in Gotham's affairs."

"Go back? I'm afraid they don't have any chance to go back, they are dead."

On the other side, Schiller said on the phone in the hospital: "Yes, thank you for your concern, I'm fine,... Yes, I just need to recuperate, I really didn't expect..."

As soon as he put down the phone, the nurse came in with a big bouquet of flowers and said: "It seems to be sent by the Lauren family."

"Leave it there, thank you, and take these bouquets away for me, they are a little stale."

The nurse tidied up the bedside, which was full of flowers and gifts sent by various gangster families. The nurse couldn't help but think of what they said when they were chatting in the corridor. Even if the Godfather was sick, it might not be such a big scene.

Schiller was in a good mood. He was on paid leave. In the past two days, he had collected dozens of kilograms of various expensive red wines and cigars. I don't know which genius spread the news that he liked to smoke cigars, so now, his manor has more expensive cigars worth millions.

The idea of ​​pretending to be sick actually came from his flash of inspiration one morning.

In fact, there was no need for others to remind him. Schiller also knew that the people from the Metropolis must be coming for him.

Before, Deathstroke took the employer's money to kill him, but he was persuaded to go back. The person behind the scenes would definitely not give up. Maybe because of Deathstroke's running away, he did not choose to hire any well-known killers who fought alone, but found a gang of gangsters from somewhere and wanted to fight a team battle.

According to common sense, Schiller should have started an offensive and defensive battle with them at this time. After all, judging from the style of Gotham, it might be too much to ask the police. The enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. All Schiller can do is probably to hire a bodyguard at the same high price, or find someone to protect him 24 hours a day.

Even if he can use the gray fog to find their location, Schiller must be cautious to catch the few people who are alone and kill them.

But that would be too stupid, Schiller thought. He didn't want to drag himself to the same level as those gangsters and be defeated by their rich experience.

Since the person behind the scenes could afford to hire Deathstroke, the gangsters he hired would not be small fish and shrimps. They must have some skills, otherwise they would not have killed the Godfather's people as soon as they came to Gotham.

Hiding from the XZ every day? Beware of assassinations that may come at any time? Schiller would not do this.

So, after notifying Falcone, Schiller was "injured" directly, and the injury was not light.

Ask, it means that he needs a long time to recuperate, ask, it means that he is in a bad mood and his brain is not working.

It doesn't matter if he is injured. The mental hospital will also close down because there is no attending physician. Then who of these gang leaders can sit still?

The mental hospital has been running for such a long time. The first few people who ate crabs have made a lot of money. Those who followed later are trying to expand their industries. They spent a lot of time and money to do this. Seeing that they are about to reap the harvest, they were cut off by others. How could they be happy?

Those who have already made money are even more unhappy. They don't have to risk being shot and gunned down. They just need to negotiate with Schiller about the share and then they can sit back and collect the money. Who wouldn't want to do such a good thing? They have already made a lot of money and want to make more money. If they close down now, wouldn't that be a loss?

On the first day when the mental hospital announced its closure, all the calls were blown up, including Bruce's.

Before Schiller returned to Gotham University, Bruce was in charge of the entire hospital. Although Schiller did not discuss his plan with Bruce in advance, he knew Schiller's intentions in less than a few seconds because of who Batman was.

So the world's richest man started directly on the spot. All the gangsters who called him to ask about the situation only got Bruce's three stupid answers: I don't know, I don't know, I don't understand.

I'm just a rich man who has nothing to do and an empty head. What's the point of asking me? You might as well ask Evans.

Evans also worked well in the hospital. After all, he was the son of the Godfather, and he was naturally in the same camp as the gangsters, so the leaders could only call Evans again.

Evans also expressed that he was in a difficult situation. He could only tell the gangsters that this was his father's decision and he could not interfere.

With this, the gangsters understood. What assassination and injury! Isn't it another trick of the Godfather?

They were not stupid. They knew that this was the Godfather warning them. If the Godfather lost face, no one would be better.

Those people from the Metropolis dared to ignore the rules of Gotham, and others were still watching the fun. Then no one would think of making money.

The gangsters felt that this was indeed the Godfather warning them. If they still wanted to eat meat together, they should show their sincerity. Where I point, you have to fight.

After weighing the pros and cons, the gangsters figured it out. What guests from the Metropolis who came from afar were clearly scum from the Metropolis! Go find someone right away. If you find him, chop him up. No need to see him alive, just see his body.

In order to continue their profitable business in the mental hospital, the gang leaders almost dug deep into the ground to dig out the group of people from Metropolis.

There is no need to say how fierce the Gotham gangs are. Especially when this matter threatens their real interests, all the people involved are frantically looking for and attacking the group of outsiders.

Originally, this group of people found their target, Schiller, within a few days of entering Metropolis. They did not take action at that time, but out of confidence in themselves, they wanted to arrange the situation until it was foolproof before taking action.

Schiller moved out of Gotham University. They were already at the end of closing the net, but before they could take action, Schiller was suddenly injured!

What? He was attacked by outsiders from Metropolis? Outsiders from Metropolis? Isn't that us? We don't have it!

The gangsters from Metropolis are in a bad mood now. They have been in the industry for so many years and have encountered all kinds of weird things, but this is the first time they have been scammed!

We haven't done anything yet!! He fell down by himself!! What does it have to do with us!!!

But obviously, this matter cannot be explained clearly. If you want to find evidence to prove that they did it, that's easy to find, but they want to prove that they didn't do it. Now the person is lying in the hospital, what else can they say?

Whoever the victim says did it, that's who did it.

Besides, even if it wasn't them, the Godfather said it was, then that's it.

Originally, they had found a place to plant the bomb near Schiller's manor, and found a good place to squat nearby, intending to lure Schiller there, but now it's good, all the gangs in Gotham are looking for them, and the place where they were squatting was discovered, so they can only move to another location.

Although they caught the Godfather by surprise at the beginning, it was also a sneak attack. In the past few days, they have witnessed how the Gotham gangs fought with the firepower of a small war. Where in the metropolis is there such a battle? Now these gangs are not fighting each other, but united to fight them together.

Look at the rows of machine guns on the armored vehicles, the rocket launchers in each person's hand, and even some people who are looking for death have brought several rocket launchers. Who wouldn't be nervous? You will be numb if you stomp on them!

So now it is these outsiders who are hiding from XZ. The Gotham gangs don't seem to want to catch them at all. The places where they hid before were found by these gangs, and they were directly mowed down with rocket launchers. They don't want live people, just corpses, even if they are not so complete.

In terms of the degree of gangsters' cruelty, no city in the world can be compared with Gotham. When these cruel gangs unite and fight against a target together, the degree of misery of this target can be imagined.

The losses caused by frequent transfers of bases are not only small troubles such as the inability to resupply supplies and store daily necessities, but more importantly, once they are caught and come to the door, if they want to retreat, they must have someone to cover the rear. After several transfers, they have left behind several good hands, and the entire group has been reduced from more than a dozen people to a few people.

They want to give up the mission and escape, but the Gotham gang will not give them this opportunity.

I don’t know who spread it. Whoever can submit this letter of surrender first can get the biggest piece of the pie. With profit in mind, of course they dare to be the first. The gangs are crazy and want to take them for credit and reward.
