Chapter 741 It Rains Again in Gotham Tonight (Part 2)

"Have you chosen the address of your restaurant? Is it still in the East District?"

Schiller and Cobot were led by the waiter into the Falcone Manor. As they walked, Schiller asked Cobot about the situation of the new restaurant.

"Yes, the address has been chosen. It's not far from the East End Pier, right next to the old Edward family's mansion." Cobot replied.

"It seems that you are very ambitious." Schiller said with a smile.

"This is all thanks to the Godfather." Cobot looked down and said, "It was originally used to serve the rich. I said that I wanted to transform it into an ordinary restaurant that dockworkers could also enter. He also There was no objection.”

"This shows that he thinks highly of you."

Schiller raised his head and looked straight ahead. Through the long doorway, Schiller could already see the figure of his godfather sitting at the head table in the restaurant. It had been a while since he had seen him. He had not aged much and was always very upright. , looking energetic.

The two walked into the restaurant, and Schiller and Falcone hugged each other. They had not seen each other for a long time.

After all, since Alberto took over the Falcone family business, he has almost no free time to go to class. Only Vince Yin still goes to college step by step, but Schiller rarely gives him individual tutoring, because His grades are very good.

"God bless you, Professor, what have you been up to lately?" Falcone asked.

"It's still those things." Schiller took the cigar from the waiter's hand, put it in his mouth and took a puff, then said: "Preparing lessons, attending classes, writing papers, and also, I became a family of two children of the Wayne family. Teachers have to teach them.”

Falcone also took the cigar, took a puff, and smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Little Wayne would have a child so early, but it's okay, I do hope that Vince Yin can get married soon. Woolen cloth."

"If a man doesn't get married, he will always be a little boy. I know this very well." The godfather tapped the table with his finger and said, "If he can't learn to shoulder the responsibilities of the family and how to protect women and children, , then he has no say in anything, this is how I have always ruled the Twelve Families.”

"Family does make men more mature." Schiller paused and said, "But some people need to learn more."

Falconer seemed to hear who he was talking about. He smiled again and seemed very relaxed. He said: "If a man chooses a path that is destined to be very difficult, then he should bear it by himself. It's much bigger." Sometimes, he will sacrifice a lot.”

Schiller turned around and saw Falcone narrowing his eyes. In the misty smoke, he seemed to recall something.

"Your Excellency, Godfather, maybe we all think so. When you teach someone, you always hope to say more, but you know very well that there are some things that are useless just by talking. Sometimes, you don't want him to Pay the price, but know that he will pay the price.”

"At this time, I will weigh the price he has to pay. If he just falls, let him fall." Falcone leaned on his left side and lifted the hand holding the cigar. Rest your elbows on the armrests of the chair.

"There will always be a moment in a person's life when his head will be broken and his head will bleed. Either today or tomorrow. In that case, let him go." Falcone waved his hand and said.

Schiller smiled and said, "Is the same true for Vince Yin?"

"Of course not, he is far from being a mature man." Falcone took another puff of smoke and said, "It has gotten better recently, and maybe it will get better after getting married."

"Let's get down to business, Cobot, how is your restaurant? Has construction started yet?" Falcone looked at Cobot and said.

Cobot never looked directly at the godfather. He just looked at the table in front of him and said: "Yes, actually, the decoration is nearing completion. It's just that the suppliers I contacted before have some problems. I'm discussing with them."

"You have to show your skills." Falcone shook his head and said: "Don't use the word negotiation, threaten them, put a gun to their head, don't forget, in Gotham, you have to first Only by being a gangster can you be a businessman.”

"The place you chose is the best place and the worst place. Every dock worker in the East End is full of resentment against that place because it is their restricted area. No matter how much money they make, they cannot enter. ”

"Once, old Edward's sister wanted to climb into my bed in order to get a ticket to enter the mansion. I didn't like her, so she went to find someone else. She went in, but was soon thrown out. Because at that time, she was not the young lady in the family."

"I think there must be an ulterior motive for opening a mansion for gatherings of twelve family members in the most prosperous place in the East District, right?" Schiller asked.

"Yes, I want them to see that there are too many lives in this world that are beyond their reach. They will feel angry, jealous, and going crazy."

"They will not work more because of this, because they know that the reward for their labor will not allow them to live such a life. They will steal, rob, kill and buy goods. I am encouraging this behavior."

"As long as they do the same thing as the gang, they must be ruled by me. If everyone obeys the law, Gotham will be finished."

"Following the rules means being weak and can be bullied. You can be a fierce slave, but you cannot be an independent weakling."

"Everyone in Gotham knows that they can be vicious, cruel, and indifferent, but they must never show weakness. Once they start crying, it means they are holding a funeral for themselves in advance. Once people cry, they have no strength to resist."

When Falcone said this, the cigar was half burned, and the smoke was very close to his fingers, lingering around his fingertips, like the mist rising from the vines in the morning, passing through the towering trees.

"Why don't you cry?" In a hospital ward, Batman looked at the eight children around him and asked, "Why can you only scream but have no tears? Can't you cry?"

Everyone stood around and looked at him quietly. Batman half-knelt down and looked them in the eye. At this time, the relatively strong one among the eight children stood up. He was a white man and the cutest one among all of them. He said:

"Hello, what kind of work do you want us to do?" He lowered his head, twisted the corner of his clothes with his hands and said, "We are too young to deliver newspapers. If we beg, me, Bigfoot and Square will do it. , we can all go to the outer streets, and the rest can only work in the inner streets. "

"I don't want you to work." Batman repeated again, he said: "I hope you can lie on the bed now, instead of yelling and biting the doctor who is going to give you an injection."

But the little boy ignored him completely and said to himself: "You are our new employer, we will call you dad, I and several other older children only need half a piece of bread every day, and others only need a quarter of a piece. We will give all the money to you, we are all good children. "

Batman stood there, he pressed his forehead with his fingers, and felt that his breathing was a little sluggish.

He approached the little boy, put his hand on his shoulder, looked into his eyes and said to him: "I am not those 'moms and dads', I am here to save you, I will not let you go begging on the street and then give me the money."

However, Batman saw that the little boy's eyes showed a look of fear. He seemed to try to suppress his fear and said: "Dad... I mean, sir, we are too young, we... we can't do that kind of work... or, or we have to wait until we grow up a little bit..."

Batman naturally knew what he was talking about. He was about to say something when he saw that the other children were shaking constantly. The thinnest little girl among them finally couldn't stand it anymore. She began to wail again: "I saw... I saw what they did to Selina... She died, and I will die too..."

All the children began to howl constantly. They made all kinds of meaningless screams, but there were no tears. Everyone ran to the corner and huddled together, unable to communicate at all.

"Stop crying!"

Batman finally lowered his voice. He no longer spoke to the group of children in the voice he used to speak to Aisha or Dick.

When he made this sound, he found that he seemed to be warning them with the tone he used to scold criminals.

But the amazing thing was that after he finished scolding, all the children stopped crying. They squatted in place, staring at Batman. Batman took a deep breath and felt deeply helpless.

All the children in this room were bigger than Elsa, but in fact, their size was not much different from Elsa. There were even some younger ones who looked smaller than Elsa.

Facing such children, Batman couldn't force them to do anything at this time. He could only comfort them over and over again, trying to establish some sense of security in order for them.

Until the time came to late at night, the continuous night rain was getting heavier and heavier. When the raindrops fell into the sea, they brought a hazy halo. The lights of Gotham Pier were on day and night. After the logistics developed better, there were more people here.

Not far from the pier, a mansion that was out of tune with the surrounding buildings stood there, but now the doorplate has been changed to "Iceberg Restaurant".

This kind of building is really too big for a restaurant. It has seven floors, a very luxurious gate, and dozens of parking spaces. Now it is deserted, just because the restaurant has not yet opened, but many people are already curiously looking inside.

In the center of the restaurant, Cobert stood in front of the reception desk and said to the nine children standing in front of him:

"Listen, now, I am your boss, your new employer, and the new job you have to do is not to beg outside, which will not make much money."

"See? The whole building here is mine. Now, raise your heads and take a good look here. Use your shallow knowledge and vision to look at the materials used in everything here, and you will know who I am."

All the children raised their heads as instructed. At first, they didn't look carefully, but soon, they were attracted by the complex and gorgeous ceiling.

The hall on the first floor was originally a dance floor, so the ceiling was decorated with extremely exquisite decorations, all of which have been preserved. These children have never seen such beautiful things in their lives.

There are very few begging children in Gotham. Most of these children are abandoned babies picked up by their mothers. They have lived in those narrow and dark alleys since they were young. Even if they can work on the streets outside, they just find a shabby corner to sit and never dare to look up at people.

Soon, they all opened their mouths and kept turning their heads, looking at everything they had never seen before. Although they had never seen these things, they could understand their beauty. This is human instinct.

"Well, I believe you can see that I am much richer than your original boss, and I killed your original employer and snatched you from their hands for this purpose. To make my money more.”

What Cobot said was very straightforward, without using any words that were hopelessly illiterate or above, so these children easily understood what he was talking about.

At this time, one of the strongest children among them stood up and asked: "What work do you want us to do?"

"Are you the leader of this group of people? Come on, come on." Cobot pointed to the floor in front of him. The child walked over slowly. Cobot pointed around the restaurant and said, "Now "My restaurant hasn't opened yet, so what you have to do is clean it up during this period."

"Listen, I'm different from those poor people. Starving you will only leave you with no energy to work. So, here, you can eat well and sleep in the basement. Four people per room and two people per room. Bed, you will have two sets of identical handyman uniforms to wear."

"But when you work here, you don't just find a place to sit. You must abide by the rules, otherwise you will look good."

"There are two meals every day at 7 o'clock and 2 o'clock in the afternoon. There is bread and some leftovers. The stove can be used for heating. If you want to drink water, go to the faucet. When the guests leave, go back to the room and don't run around."

"What you should have seen on the way here is the outer street where you used to work. If you ran out at night, no one would go to the garbage truck to dig up your bodies tomorrow morning."

"Also, don't let me catch any of you stealing. You should know the consequences."

"We won't steal anything, we will give everything to you, we are all good kids." said the leading boy.

"Okay, now, go back to your room and don't come out if you have nothing to do." After saying that, Cobot made a move and asked the tall subordinates next to him to take the children to the basement.

What no one saw was that the moment the leading boy turned around, he tried hard to twitch the muscles at the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that looked like surprise.
