Chapter 2048: Knight's Horror Night (32)

Peter did not come to a strange world unprepared. Any good student would know how to review hard before the exam and prepare all the stationery within the scope allowed by the rules.

For this reason, he even went to find Kingpin.

Kingpin's work focus has long been off Earth. This heavyweight criminal genius was found to frequently go in and out of Asgard Palace, Kamar-Taj Palace, the office of the director of the Time Management Bureau, and Arkham Sanatorium.

Of course, it is not to say that the above forces support Kingpin to disrupt the interstellar society, but in the process of human development, we must always adopt and integrate multiple aspects.

As for why some star regions will usher in a wave of crime after Kingpin goes there once, the only thing to blame is that the interstellar security work is not done thoroughly and in time. What does a small human gang leader know?

When Peter Parker found Kingpin, Kingpin was also surprised. Since there were more Spider-Mans in New York, Kingpin almost never stayed on Earth, so as not to be harassed hundreds of times a day, so there were not many Spider-Mans who could find him.

Peter also brought a gift that Kingpin found very interesting, which was the "Gotham Travels" written by the former Spider-Man.

Because this Spider-Man who had been to Gotham serialized his blog on the Spider APP, and other people who were not Spider-Man had almost no chance to see it.

Kingpin was shocked when he first read it. He did not expect that there would be a more fertile criminal soil in the world than New York. Whose generals were these?

After a closer look, Kingpin really found a clue.

And here, we must talk about Kingpin himself.

Kingpin's record is not impressive, but his most powerful thing is that his opponents, except Spider-Man, are all ruthless people like Daredevil and Punisher.

And his criminal empire can stand for many years in a place like New York where demons are rampant. He has been defeated several times and made a comeback several times, which is enough to show how strong his talent is in crime.

Speaking of which, being able to stick to traditional crimes in such an era of superheroes is also a great general in Gotham. What makes Kingpin more unique than the madman in Gotham is that he is not a fan of anyone, he just wants money.

Without love, there will be no hatred due to love, and naturally, there will be no excessive energy to engage in useless conspiracies. Bad people who only care about money are impeccable, because they are pure, so they are powerful.

And if you want to say who in Gotham will be the most compatible with Kingpin, it is of course the Penguin who has the smallest filter for Batman and the largest filter for money.

These two brothers are fundamentalists who insist on doing traditional crimes and follow the old path of pornography, gambling and drugs in the love-hate relationship between superheroes and super criminals, so they naturally have a sympathy.

So when Penguin first saw this plan, he was simply shocked, and he was really just short of singing "This bow, spring breeze meets bosom friends".

There is another reason why Penguin was so amazed, that is, this plan was not copied by Peter, he directly found Kingpin to customize it.

Kingpin first learned about the general situation of Gotham through "Gotham Travels", then listened to Peter's analysis of "Gotham Travels", added his own understanding, and finally wrote down this plan with a flourish.

Although there are some casual and free parts in it, there are also moments of inspiration. In Kingpin's own words, under the same conditions, if you ask him to write it again, he may not be able to write it so well.

Penguin didn't know that Peter was from another universe, and he didn't know that this kid who looked no different from those passionate young heroes could find a crime master to write for him.

So he felt very surprised. This thing can't be written without 20 or 30 years of crime experience. Whether it is the structure or the wording, it is amazing. This author must be a godfather?

But if there is such a person, how could he not have heard of it?

At this time, he heard Peter say mysteriously: "Mr. Oswald, you should know better than me that being punished by law is called a crime, and being unpunished is nothing."

The Penguin looked at Peter with wide eyes. Why is it so wrong for this kid to say this?

He said all my words!

Something is wrong, very wrong.

Peter Parker gave the Penguin a very strange feeling. No matter from which angle, he was the kind of young hero who was full of blood and talked about justice every day.

But what he did was completely different from his image and temperament. Even when he mentioned this, he didn't feel ashamed or guilty, just like a person whose moral values ​​were completely distorted.

He felt that he was doing justice, but his standard of justice was completely distorted.

This kind of person can't be met casually on the street. If you want to achieve this effect, you must cultivate it from childhood. So the question is, who cultivated it?

At first, Penguin also suspected that Peter was created by Scarecrow, but as a patient in Arkham Asylum, how could Penguin not know how powerful Scarecrow is?

If Jonathan Crane could write such a plan, Penguin, the leader of the Oswald family, would let him take the seat.

Then a cold sweat speculation appeared in Penguin's mind - the plan was written by Batman, and Peter Parker was trained by Batman.

Batman was playing a big game from beginning to end.

From the perspective of a bystander, Batman's actions over the years have been very strange, beyond the scope of normal people. It doesn't look like something that could be done by a super genius who can invent so many advanced devices.

It’s not like Batman has no friends. Didn’t these people advise him? If one person is crazy, we can't all be crazy, right? It's impossible that everyone around him doesn't see that the truly effective way to save Gotham is not to play games with a madman, right?

Penguin wondered, could it be that I thought too lightly?

He focused his attention on the plan again. After reading it carefully again, Penguin was more certain of his conjecture.

Most of the points mentioned in this plan hit the mark, and there are no problems with the solution. However, there are still some shortcomings in the actual implementation, as if this person has never really been to Gotham, so for Some details are not well understood.

This makes perfect sense. No matter how talented Batman is, he can only talk on paper. There is no place on the entire East Coast for him to actually operate. Even if he can have a thorough understanding of all situations and guide him secretly with extremely high intelligence, the details are definitely lacking.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that everything was right, and the Penguin couldn't help but his heart was beating fast.

If Batman has been secretly cultivating Peter Parker and recruiting many real young heroes as a cover-up, then now that Peter is out, does it mean that Batman is really planning to make a move?

Danger or opportunity?

What a great danger...a great opportunity!

No hero lacks the courage to gamble. Penguin gritted his teeth, stared at Peter and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

As soon as Peter opened his mouth, he let Penguin know that he had made the right bet - "Do whatever you can to let your partners know that both the military and the FBI have failed in Gotham."

United States, Washington, DC, FBI Headquarters, 10:00PM.

The sound of rapid high-heeled footsteps sounded at the end of the corridor. As soon as Bruce Wayne followed the detective around the corner, he saw Amanda Waller's face that was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Please, Mr. Wayne, you really gave us a big surprise." Amanda's voice sank to the bottom, but she still reached out towards the office next to her.

Bruce glanced at her and walked in first. Unexpectedly, Amanda came in alone. After walking in, he held the door handle and said to the detective outside the door: "Stay here, don't let anyone get close, wait until I call." Please open the door again."

With a bang, the door was closed, and when Amanda turned around, the muscles in her arms were still trembling.

She turned around just in time to see Bruce Wayne standing under the only overhead light, the upper half of his face completely in shadow, his posture relaxed, and he turned the tail ring on his right hand with his left hand.

The family crest on the family tail ring was particularly dazzling. Amanda swallowed, took a deep breath, stared at Bruce coldly and said, "I don't know what you want to do, Mr. Wayne, but you have touched the bottom line."

Bruce Wayne didn't say anything because he wanted to know what Amanda was referring to. He could tell that this woman was in a panic, and she was just pretending to be calm at this time, so he didn't have to ask, she would naturally say it.

"I know Gotham is your place, but you can't use it to kidnap us all, that's immoral! Bruce Wayne!"

Bruce is still silent, but as bad as he is at speaking, he is just as good at oppressing others with silence.

And Amanda obviously couldn't bear any more pressure.

"I don't know what you did to them, Ankinfo, Lyle, or even Sal Nobbs! You're out of your mind, Bruce Wayne, you know it's not fucking okay Let’s talk about it openly!”

"You want to hold me hostage, huh? I really misjudged you!" Amanda gritted her teeth and said, "If this is all your conspiracy, I can only say, you win, Wayne!"

"Twenty years! You've waited twenty years just to eat us all in one bite!" The muscles in Amanda's neck began to spasm, and she nodded uncontrollably and said, "Very good, you did it. Shall I throw you a celebration party?”

And Bruce Wayne was still looking at her silently.

Bruce was thinking, since when did people around him start to learn to talk to themselves?

Batman finally partially suffered the consequences of his own misfortune. A lot of words without cause and effect were stuffed into his head. Not only did the other party not give an explanation, but he kept saying "you should know more than me" with his body language.

This is usually what Batman would do.

But Batman really doesn’t understand what Amanda is talking about right now. Batman has an impression of the names she mentioned, but not many. Most of them are the surnames of some family businesses. The business is probably very big, but not as big as the Wayne family. .

Next Amanda said some names that were more familiar to him.

"I really don't understand, how can you convince that old-fashioned Steven?" Amanda seemed to be completely pouring out her emotions. She said: "Even General Raven can't impress him, that guy is a piece of shit. The stone inside has not moved for thirty years!”

This name combined with this description immediately reminded Batman of a shareholder of Wayne Group, and he was an old shareholder who was only half a generation younger than his grandfather. He did not hold many shares, but he also held at least five similar companies. Shares of large hierarchical companies.

"And Roanna, he even went to France and didn't forget to come back to see what price you offered him. Did you pack up your rumored girlfriend?"

Another Wayne Group shareholder, Batman thought. He doesn't often appear at the shareholders' meeting, but he controls the import and export channels of certain rare metals in NATO countries. He is a taciturn but pragmatic man.

"Falanna! For God's sake, I almost think you agree with this German to build a concentration camp in Gotham! He put a knife on our necks, and you ordered it!"

A German, or an Austrian, Batman remembered. This one is somewhat familiar, but he always comes up with some wild ideas and doesn't get along with Bruce Wayne.

What did the Wayne Group's board of directors do?

While Batman was thinking about this question, Amanda finally vented almost everything. She sighed, hugged her arms and looked at Batman and said.

"Okay, don't waste time. Now that you've figured it out, let's talk business."

"You've taken away the FBI's power to turn a blind eye to certain transactions, and you've set our boss on fire. What are you going to do to fix it?"
