Chapter 198 Let’s Kill Black Mask Together!

When the Penguin finished speaking, the room suddenly fell into silence.

The atmosphere became extremely subtle.

Bane's face turned cold, and his whole aura changed drastically.

"Bain, my friend, don't be angry yet."

The Penguin held the handle of his black umbrella with his right hand imperceptibly, smiling slightly.

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

"I don't know what's wrong with the nuclear bomb in your hand that made Sionis determined to break the covenant with you, but that doesn't mean I will break off the alliance with you like him."

"Mr. Bain."

The Penguin's fingers holding the umbrella handle moved slightly.

"Everyone knows that I'm a businessman, and I like to make deals."

As soon as the voice fell, Bane heard countless gun loading sounds coming from outside the room.

Bane focused his attention on the Penguin, his muscles tensed, ready to subdue the Penguin at any time.

"Please don't mind. Ensuring the safety of transactions 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 joke about it?"

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

Bane looked at him with a puzzled look, not knowing what the old penguin was thinking.

"Copperhead, what kind of deal do you want to make with me? What do you want to get?"

"What I want is actually very simple."

The Penguin laughed.

"Gotham..."

Bane instantly understood the Penguin's purpose.

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

But in fact, this is just an illusion based on the deterrence of nuclear bombs. Bane is just an outsider. Even if Miranda took the lead in developing a small force in Gotham, compared with the Copperhead family or the Sionis family, which have been operating for more than a hundred years, the real force is not enough.

Especially the Shadow Warriors Alliance is a newly formed seedling organization.

The only experienced old members are Bane and Talia.

Until today, this fragile balance has finally been broken.

Although Bane is not sure whether the news about Black Mask and Penguin came from Kaito Kidd or there are spies in his own camp.

It is also unclear how much information about the nuclear bomb they know.

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

Judging from the attitude of the Penguin, they may think that the nuclear bomb in Bane's hands is just a cover to deceive the government, so they have lost their greatest fear of Bane.

Once the US government learns of this information, it is afraid that it will do everything possible to eliminate Bane.

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

Black Mask tore his face at this time, claiming to be going to war with GCPD, but in fact, he is afraid that he wants to join forces with Gordon to deal with Bane.

The real purpose is nothing more than to whitewash its own power after the collapse of Bane's power, enhance 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.

Typical old practices, which worked well ten years ago.

Unfortunately, Black Mask was imprisoned in Arkham too early, and he didn't know that the current situation had changed a long time ago. Sionis, as a large underworld force, dared to influence the political world so blatantly.

There is no need for the Pentagon, the White House or the Triskelion to object. The first person who disagrees can only be Duracell in New York!

Kingpin established the world's largest underworld empire in the United States. He allows competing gangs to exist in his own territory, even if these gangs don't listen to him.

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

Even the Penguin dare not put people into government agencies openly. Black Mask's approach is simply a provocation to Kingpin.

After so many years of changes, the Penguin will certainly not learn from Black Mask to ask for trouble.

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

Do you think the biggest gangster in the United States is Kingpin?

No, it is the federal government...

The Penguin has seen through this a long time ago.

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

Beyond that, money is still more attractive.

So the content of the deal that the Penguin wants to make with Bane is very straightforward.

The two of them will join forces to kill Black Mask, and then solve the GCPD at the same time.

Moreover, the Penguin has a big appetite. He wants all of Black Mask's territory and resources. Bane will not even have a mouthful of soup left.

There is no way. Who told the Penguin to have the "handle" in his hands?

Bane sneered in his heart.

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

Anyway, it will be only a few days before the end of the nuclear bomb countdown. The more chaotic Gotham is during this period, the better.

So, Bane happily accepted the Penguin's proposal.

The two agreed not to act rashly to paralyze Black Mask's nerves and make him think that his side wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

Then when Black Mask's men had gathered almost and were about to "join" Jim Gordon.

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

It would 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, Bane left the Iceberg Club.

Only then did Penguin breathe a sigh of relief. Talking to Bane face to face alone was still a very sensitive topic. In fact, he was not as relaxed as he seemed.

He dared to conclude that Bane's reaction would not be much different. After all, this was the base camp of Penguin. No matter how strong Bane was, he could not escape from the Iceberg Club alone.

Basically, it can be imagined that if the two did not reach an agreement, they would probably die together.

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

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

That's right, the fourth truck that was suspected of mysterious disappearance.

That is, the statue mechanism truck near Wayne Building had been locked up when it left Wayne Building, so he certainly didn't know the relevant information.

Although Maggieson didn't know about these mechanisms at this time
