Chapter 7: Eating hot pot and singing songs while robbing a bank



"Indeed, damn, what we hate most is people like you who work alone!"

A security guard on the opposite side continued what Manager Ryan said.

"For a lone ranger like you, why don't you go to a convenience store to gain experience?

You just came to Gotham not long ago, I haven't heard of an Asian newcomer like you nearby.

Since you are quite courageous, put down the gun, I can take you to see the boss, maybe we will become colleagues!"

At this point, the security guard nodded to the colleagues around him, and the remaining two security guards immediately approached Downton.

Seeing the two of them approaching without scruples, Downton patted Ryan on the shoulder.

"Manager Ryan, your life seems to be ignored by them."

"They are not my men, we are partners, they are just guarding their family's own money and valuables."

Manager Ryan responded helplessly, and then continued to persuade Downton.

"So you'd better put down your gun before things get out of hand.

You're alone, and you don't have much experience. You can't even control the people in the hall.

They'll call the police if they escape, and the police won't want to see the Maroni family go crazy.

Maroni is Falcone's right-hand man. You must know Roman. His donation to the Gotham Police Department is three or four times higher than the police's daily salary.

The police are all very enthusiastic to work for them!"

"Then we just have to finish the work before the police come!"

Faced with Manager Ryan's persuasion, Donton grinned and then turned the gun to the two gangster security guards who were approaching.

"Man!"

Donton continued.

"I didn't expect that you security guards are actually gangsters. After all, gangsters are much more dangerous than ordinary security guards.

But no matter who you are, you won't refuse money.

There are two paths in front of you. One is not easy. Even if you can kill me, I can at least die with one or two of you.

Do you really want to die?

Or can you guarantee that it's not you who will die?

Let's listen to the other path. This path is much more interesting. Even if your family's money and valuables are in this bank, I didn't rob your family's money and valuables!

I must emphasize that I robbed the bank's money, and I will also give you some of the money. .

In other words, I am not alone, and it is not too late for you to become my partners now.

You only need to close one eye to share a large part of the proceeds from my robbery. As for the end, I am the only one who will bear the pursuit of your family and the police.

Look, you have no risk, but you have a lot of benefits, so please help and urge those women at the counter to act quickly and take out our money.

Even if I break the contract and don't share the money with you in the end, you still have three or four people. Are you afraid that I will run away by myself?

Give me an answer, do you love money or cherish your life! "

After the voice fell, Donton shook the muzzle of the gun back and forth on the security guards.

Looking at Donton's constantly swaying muzzle, the security guards looked at each other and couldn't help looking at the surveillance around them.

After confirming that the surveillance was turned off again, one of the security guards nodded to the other guys.

"I think he's right. He robbed the bank's money. As long as there's nothing wrong with our family's valuables, the boss won't punish us.

What's more, we can hand over some of the money we get to the boss!"

"Yes, I also think that's a good idea. I'm optimistic about this Asian!

He's very suitable for Gotham. If he survives, he might become a big shot!"

"Then do it?"

"Do it!"

At this point, the security guards left two people to continue to confront Downton with guns, and the remaining two came to the front of the counter and really started to force the tellers to take cash.

The tellers were so panicked that they were almost like real longans. They looked at Manager Ryan who was held hostage by Downton with entanglement.

Facing the tellers' eyes asking for help, Manager Ryan took a deep breath and then whispered to Downton.

"Sir, since you have already cooperated with the guys of the Maroni family, do you mind...cooperating with more people?

If you don't mind, I think the customers present and our employees can all become your partners.

Although it still can't stop the fleeing customers from calling the police, at least there will be fewer people who hate you, and this operation will have less resistance, what do you think?"

"I think you are a talent, Ryan!"

Donton nodded in appreciation, and waved to the nervous tellers behind the counter.

"Did you hear that, girls? We are in the same boat now.

Hurry up and get the money. This time we are going to get our money. Be quick!

And for everyone else who just wants to do business, your good luck is here. I am your luck, haha!

Maybe a few thousand, maybe tens of thousands, who would mind having an extra sum of cash in hand without worries and without paying taxes?

Find some bags that can hold banknotes and put the money in them. Don't forget to fill your pockets and bags too!

Life shouldn't be all about fighting and killing. Let's be more harmonious. Isn't it good for us to get rich together?

I'm not a capitalist. I'm really giving you money. Get moving, hurry up!"

Accompanied by Donton's words, the people around him burst into great enthusiasm after a brief daze.

"I'll help carry it!"

"Add me!"

"I have a travel bag here, I'll lend it to you!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, or the police will come!"

"Is there anyone who will go out with me to chase those guys who ran away? If they call the police later or don't call the police at all, we will have plenty of time!"

"We can also make a false alarm to the Gotham Police Department, saying that the Burnley District or the Diamond District was robbed, and disperse their police force!"

"Hurry up and block the door and windows first, don't let anyone see anything unusual outside!"

One person's plan is short, three people's plan is long, and everyone adds fuel to the fire.

After a large number of partners joined, the whole operation became smooth. Not only did the tellers withdraw money much faster, but even the police were dealt with.

For a while, everyone on the scene blocked the windows, closed the doors, put money in, and divided the money.

In less than two minutes, someone brought a travel bag of banknotes to Downton.

"How about it, we did a good job!"

Seeing the expectant look on the face of the young pregnant woman who gave him money, Downton nodded heavily and praised.

"Everyone did a good job, you did an especially good job!"

"Thank you, thank you!"

After getting tons of emotional value, the young pregnant woman excitedly covered her chest.

"I never thought I would encounter such a thing. I was pregnant, but the father of the child disappeared. Even if I took out all the money, it was not enough for my surgery and nursing fees.

I thought I had no way out, but I met you. With this money, it's okay whether I give birth to the child or have an abortion!

I don't know what to say. Thank you for giving me a little hope in this damn city of Gotham. Can I know your name?"

"Why not, my name is Downton, Downton from Downton Abbey, haha!"

Facing the thanks of the young pregnant woman, Downton laughed and took the travel bag full of money.

After carrying the bag on his back, he pushed Manager Ryan out.

"Don't stand there, Ryan, go get your share."

"Thank you, Boss Downton!"

Ryan was also a little excited. After all, the atmosphere was too hot. Just like the pregnant woman who handed money to Downton, her cleavage was full of banknotes. Ryan was anxious!

In the distance, even if Downton had no hostages, the security guards were too lazy to aim at Downton.

Life is your own, money is everyone's, don't you know what's important?

Looking at everyone desperately filling money, Downton leaned against the bank door with money on his back, waiting for them with a smile.

After the last person's pocket was full, Downton clapped his hands gently.

"Guys, the carnival is over. It's been more than three minutes. I should go now.

If nothing goes wrong, you will always hear my name in the future, or maybe I will have some other code name by then.

But no matter what, don't forget our cooperation, and don't forget... I am a person who never stings or breaks my promises!"

"You are still a smart man. You will definitely make a name for yourself in Gotham, Boss Downton!"

"Thank you, Boss Downton. Our cooperation is really great!"

"Maybe one day I can really call you Boss, provided that you survive the pursuit of our Maroni family!"

"Don, Gotham welcomes you!"

Accompanied by the cheers of the people around him, Downton smiled and opened the shutter door, then pushed open the door and walked out.

Outside the bank, the police had not arrived yet, and only passers-by were hiding in various stores around and watching the bank.

Seeing Downton walk out in a swagger, and then listening to the cheers in the bank that were restrained but still unstoppable.

The onlookers were confused.

You call this bank robbery?

Can robbing a bank be so lively?

And cheering?

Why don't you eat hot pot and sing some songs?

The competition is fierce during the new book period. If the performance is slightly worse, it will be a failure.

If you are interested in this book, even if you want to keep reading it, please quickly turn to the last page of this book and read it for this book.

I have written two million and three million words of finished masterpieces. As long as the performance of this book is moderate, I will write millions of words to please everyone.

I hope everyone will lend a hand. I am very grateful.
