American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander

Chapter 17: Despicable



When everyone left, Falcone put down his glass and sat there quietly.

On the side, Victor leaned over and whispered to Falcone.

"Boss, do I need to make some preparations?"

"Preparation?"

Hearing Victor's question, Falcone laughed.

"It's hard for us to be more prepared than them, forget it.

I haven't heard from them for many years, fifteen years, time has really passed too fast.

Let me be quiet for a while, Victor, I need to think about what to talk to them about.

It's really a troubled time now."

After the voice fell, Falcone leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes.

Looking at the boss in deep thought, Victor silently returned to his original position, standing straight like a javelin.

Not long after, another taxi stopped outside the Iceberg Club.

Donton, wearing a tattered suit, carried a new gun and walked towards the entrance of the club without any cover.

As he walked, Donton looked curiously at the hundreds of people fighting around him.

Noticing Downton, the thugs who were having fun were also stunned for a moment.

"Damn it, he's really back again!"

"Don't worry about that, take the opportunity to run!"

"Damn it, Penguin's men really beat me, my hand is broken!"

"Although I ran away, the medical expenses are at least several thousand dollars, I might as well die!"

"Keep chasing, don't leave any one alive!!!"

"Hide Downton, our boss has told you!"

"Let Downton into the club!"

Listening to the noisy voice, Downton understood what happened.

Ozwald did deal with all of Sabatino's men, and he also told his men to let him go to the club.

So Downton nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad, Penguin, your attitude is much better this time."

After praising Penguin, Downton swaggered into the Iceberg Club.

As soon as he walked down the stairs, Ozwald had already opened his arms to greet Downton.

"Welcome, my friend. I came to greet you as soon as I knew you were back!"

"Of course I will come back, because I never wait for revenge. How about you? Have you dealt with Sabatino's men?"

While speaking, Donton bent down slightly and hugged the extremely enthusiastic Penguin.

After the two separated, Penguin nodded to Donton.

"I won't break my promise. Sabatino's men are gone, but even so, if you want to kill Sabatino, you have to get past my boss first!"

"Which level?" Donton asked casually.

"My boss Falcone is waiting for you. He wants to talk to you!" Penguin explained.

Hearing Penguin's words, Donton couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"What's the situation?"

He looked at Penguin puzzledly and asked.

"I broke into the Iceberg Club twice, and I also want to kill his right-hand man Sabatino!

In this situation, Falcone actually wants to talk to me. Are you sure he is really Falcone?"

It's not like Donton hasn't read comics and movies. He doesn't think Falcone is such a person who will show weakness easily.

In theory, if he provokes the Falcone family like this, there should be only one result, a fight to the death, right?

Before Batman matured, Falcone really had a hand in Gotham, and his power was even greater than that of the slippery Chichikov.

Such a big man who has ruled Gotham for decades, after being bombarded twice by a mere person in his base camp, actually wants to talk to him?

Thinking of this, Donton frowned. He felt that he underestimated Falcone.

After making sure that he would not be killed easily, Falcone actually suppressed his anger at the first time, and even skipped the old-fashioned steps such as probing, hunting and unsuccessful hunting, and decided to negotiate with him directly!

Before coming here, I went to Lao Deng's gun shop to replenish some guns. By comparison, I obviously guessed Falcone's reaction wrong.

If this is a game of guessing, Falcone has already won me over.

Thinking of this, Donton nodded in appreciation.

"Falcone is really generous. I see. Take me to see him."

"Okay, follow me. Our boss is in minus 44 degrees.

If you can talk to Falcone and get a good result, maybe you will become a regular customer of minus 44 degrees.

If that's the case, we should have a couple of drinks for our friendship against Sabatino."

Penguin led the way and exchanged a few words with Donton.

Looking at the slightly attentive Penguin, Donton patted his shoulder suspiciously.

"Hey man, there's nothing wrong with having a drink, but is there something wrong?

I just broke your ribs, are you sure you really mean it?

You're not going to poison my wine, are you?"

"How is that possible!!!"

As soon as Downton finished speaking, Penguin grabbed his sleeve and said.

"Hundreds of people can't kill you even if they shoot at you, so what's the use of poisoning you!

If you think I'm so stupid, then we'd better not drink our wine. I can allow you to break my ribs if you make a mistake, but I won't allow you to look down on me, man!"

After he finished speaking, Penguin looked at Downton very seriously.

Facing the Penguin's look of being looked down upon, Donton shrugged innocently and said with a smile.

"Ozwald, I won't look down on you. I'm not talking about poisoning.

What's the big deal about poisoning? That thing can't kill me. I'm just afraid that you'll put saliva and scalp in my wine."

"Fuck you, isn't this more despicable and worse than poisoning!

If this isn't looking down on you, what is looking down on you? Do you think I'm just a fourth-rate villain who uses third-rate methods like a second-rate villain?"

Ozwald's hair almost exploded.

As for why he reacted so strongly, it's not because he wouldn't do that, but because he really used such a despicable method...

Lies never hurt people, only the truth can penetrate people's hearts.

Before becoming Falcone's subordinate, Ozwald had a very hard time, especially when he was in school.

When he was a child, Ozwald was short, thin, and limped. He had experienced a lot of bullying.

If someone could write a book about 108 types of bullying in American schools, Ozwald guaranteed that he had experienced at least 107 of them.

During that time, Ozwald tried his best to repay those who hurt him for everything he had experienced.

But the Ozwald who had not yet completely turned evil when he was a child did not have the strength to fight back against the bullies head-on.

Therefore, when he was a child, he could only use the counterattack methods of the weak.

You asked me to buy you water, so I added ingredients to the water.

You asked me to buy you condoms, so I pierced the condoms.

You pressed me in the urinal and asked me to swim, so I secretly urinated in your lockers during swimming class!

Although this kind of venting was the only comfort for Ozwald when he was a child, it also became a forbidden place in his mind along with his unbearable memories.

Now that Donton mentioned it jokingly, Ozwald immediately got angry!

Looking at Ozwald who suddenly got angry, Donton was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help laughing.

While laughing, Donton put his hand on Ozwald's shoulder.

"Are you angry out of shame? I know you must have thought about something similar, because I have thought about it too!

When I look into my heart, evil thoughts are growing every minute and every second. Who doesn't have a few beasts in their heart? I understand you.

But I have to warn you in advance, just thinking about that kind of thing is enough, you can't take it seriously.

Even if it is evil, we, the big men destined for Gotham, must be evil enough, otherwise it will be too embarrassing for Gotham, haha!"

With a loud laugh, Donton put his hand on Ozwald's shoulder and continued to move forward like an old friend.

Before Donton spoke, Ozwald was almost furious, but after hearing what Donton said and being put on his shoulder by Donton in a familiar way and walking together.

He was surprised to find that the anger in his heart that arose because of the unbearable past actually slowly disappeared.

Yes, he has been a bad guy for a long time, and his evilness now even exceeds that of everyone who has bullied him!

He no longer needs to resort to those despicable means like a small person.

He is a big person now!

Thinking of this, Ozwald sneered and continued to say to Donton.

"Don't make such jokes, because it is meaningless.

Even if it is a mortal enemy, I will not fight with such childish means, it will only make me lose face!"

Having said this, Ozwald stopped and raised his hand to point to a door not far away.

"We are here, Boss Falcone is waiting for you in that room, I wish you a pleasant conversation!"
