Phantom Thief Kidd

Chapter 199 Kill the Black Mask Together!

When Penguin's voice fell to the ground, the room suddenly fell into silence.

The atmosphere became extremely delicate.

Bain's face turned cold, and his whole demeanor changed drastically.

"Bane, my friend, don't be too quick to get angry."

I saw Penguin holding the handle of his black umbrella imperceptibly with his right hand, smiling slightly on his face.

Bane noticed Penguin's movements, and he knew that the umbrella was actually a powerful and dangerous weapon, and he felt a little apprehensive in his heart.

"I don't know what's wrong with the nuclear bomb in your hand. It made Sionis determined to tear up the covenant with you, but it doesn't mean that I will tear up my skin with you like him."

"Mr. Bain."

Penguin's fingers holding the handle of the umbrella lightly moved.

"Everyone knows I'm a businessman and I love doing deals."

As soon as the words fell, Bain heard countless loading sounds from outside the room.

Bane focused his gaze on the Penguin, his muscles tightened, ready to subdue the Penguin at any time.

"Please don't mind. Ensuring transaction safety is a compulsory course for businessmen. I have heard about how strong your skills are. It is too dangerous to meet you alone."

"Life is the biggest bargaining chip, how dare I make fun of it?"

At this time, Penguin suddenly removed his hand from the umbrella, as if giving up his weapon.

Bain looked at him suspiciously, wondering what the old penguin was thinking.

"Coppert, what deal do you want to make with me, what do you want?"

"What I want is actually very simple."

Penguin laughed.

"Gotham..."

Bane instantly understood Penguin's purpose.

Before today, among the three leading forces in Gotham, Bane was the strongest, followed by Penguin and Black Mask.

But in fact, this is just an illusion based on the deterrence of nuclear bombs. Bain is just an outsider, even if Miranda takes the lead in developing a small force in Gotham, it is not like the Copperpot family or the Sionis family. Compared with the underworld family that has been in business for more than a hundred years, the real power is not enough.

The Special Shadow Warrior Alliance is also a reorganized seedling organization.

The experienced old members are only Baine and Thalia.

Until today, this fragile balance has finally been broken.

Although Bane didn't know whether he heard the news about Black Mask and Penguin from Kaitou Kidd, or whether there were spies from them in his own camp.

It is also not clear how much information they have on the nuclear bomb.

However, there is one thing that can at least give Bane a little peace of mind. It seems that so far no one has discovered that the explosion of the nuclear bomb is an irreversible countdown.

Judging from the attitude of the Penguins, they probably thought that the nuclear bomb in Bain's hands was just a cover to deceive the government, so they lost the greatest fear of Bain.

Once the U.S. government is informed of this information, it is afraid that it will use all means to eliminate Bain.

The result of this is the reshuffle of Gotham's forces. Obviously, both Black Mask and Penguin want to be the new king of Gotham, and the two have adopted different strategies.

Black Mask tore his face apart at this time, calling it a war against the GCPD, but in fact he might want to unite with Gordon to deal with Bane.

The real purpose is nothing more than to whitewash his own power after the collapse of Bain's power, increase the influence of the Sionis family in the police and political circles, and gradually erode everything in Gotham.

GCPD is just a springboard. The person Black Mask really wants to unite with is probably the mayor of Gotham City.

The typical old way of doing things would have worked fine ten years ago.

It's a pity that Black Mask was imprisoned in Arkham too early. He didn't know that the current situation had changed long ago. As a large underworld force, Sionis dared to influence the political circle so blatantly.

Without objection from the Pentagon, the White House or the Tricurve Wing, the first one not to agree could only be New York's Duracell!
Kim also established the largest underworld empire in the world in the United States. He allowed the existence of competing gangs in his home country, even if these gangs didn't listen to him, it didn't matter.

But the bridge between the underworld and the government, the only channel that really allows the underworld leader to control huge power can only be in the hands of Fisk.

Even the Penguin dare not put people into government agencies in an open and honest manner. Black Mask's approach is simply provoking Kim.

Penguin, who has gone through so many years of changes, certainly won't ask for trouble like Black Mask.

Power is a good thing, which can sink the most determined people, but too much power is often poison.

Do you think the biggest gangster in America is Kim Bin?

No, it's the federal government...

Penguin has long seen through this.

He seeks power, but only within the city of Gotham.

Going further outside, money is still more fragrant.

So what Penguin wants to trade with Bain is very straightforward.

The two teamed up to destroy the black mask, and then solved GCPD together.

Moreover, Penguin has a big appetite, and all the territory and resources of Black Mask belong to him, and Bane doesn't even have a mouthful of soup left.

No way, who said that the "handle" fell into the hands of the penguin?

Bain sneered in his heart.

Penguin's deal was exactly what he wanted, and he came to the Iceberg Club for this purpose, but he didn't expect Penguin to propose it first.

Anyway, the countdown to the end of the nuclear bomb is only a few days away, and the more chaotic Gotham is during this period, the better.

Ever since, Bane happily accepted Penguin's proposal.

The two of them discussed, not to act rashly to paralyze Black Mask's nerves, making him think that he wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

Then when the black mask men and horses were almost gathered, they were about to "merge" with Jim Gordon.

Bane and the Penguin suddenly appeared again and wiped out Black Mask and GCPD in one fell swoop.

It will be easier to recruit the remnants of Black Mask.

There is no doubt that they definitely have such strength.

After the preliminary plan was drawn up, Bain left the Iceberg Club.

Until then, Penguin let out a long sigh of relief. Talking face to face with Bain alone was still a very sensitive topic. In fact, he was not as relaxed as he appeared on the surface.

He dared to conclude that Bain's reaction was not much different. After all, this was the base camp of the Penguins, and no matter how strong Bain was alone, it was impossible to escape from the Iceberg Club.

Basically, it is conceivable that if the two of them fail to agree, they may die together.

On the other hand, after Maggison got crucial information from Lucius, many clues that could not be sorted out were all strung together.

Before the official performance, there is only one thing left to confirm.

That's right, the mysterious disappearance of the fourth truck suspected to be carrying the nuclear bomb.

That is the statue institution near the Wayne Building. Lucius was already locked up when the truck left the Wayne Building. Of course, he didn't know the relevant information.

Although Magison didn't know the location of the agency at this time and had been discovered by Barbara and her two daughters, the distance between them was getting closer and closer unconsciously...
