NOVEL NEXT Chapter 25 Heading to Gotham City
On the top floor of Caesar's Palace, Anthony looked out the window at the night view of Manhattan and said with his back to Gin: "I have decided to use the seeds from that plane base in the near future."
"But, boss," Gin said in a deep voice, "I remember you once said that it seems dangerous to use this plane base seed, because you are likely to enter a dangerous world of intermediate and advanced levels with the power of gods and demons."
"Yes," Anthony turned around and poured a glass of wine and continued: "It is indeed dangerous. If possible, I really want to wait until I have enough strength to use this thing."
"Then why?" Gin asked with some confusion.
"Because I need to become stronger quickly," Anthony picked up the red wine and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window again, looking at the night view of Manhattan outside the window: "You know, even after experiencing Magneto, I had no plans. To use it so quickly, after all, there are too many uncertainties about it.”
Anthony took a sip of the red wine in his glass and continued: "According to my original plan, I would get in touch with some truly powerful people in this world, and then enter their circle. And then through this relationship with them, I would truly get in touch with them. Something that allows me to protect myself in this world. And as long as I truly integrate into that circle, even if others want to touch me, they will have to consider the impact of doing so. That's why I put so much effort into it. to enter such a high-end cocktail party.”
After drinking all the red wine in the glass, Anthony said coldly: "But I was wrong. They look down on me as a gangster. In their eyes, I am just a dregs of society."
"Boss, they probably don't know your identity," Gin said.
Anthony sneered: "I don't know if that old fox from Fox knows, but Tony Stark must have known that you were a little far away at the time, so he didn't hear you, but I was right in front of him. The moment he looked me up and down , my ears heard with my own ears the introduction about my identity coming from the headset-like thing he hung on his ear. So he knew very well who I was, otherwise, why do you think he dared to mock me like this? I really thought I was Tony. Is Stark a second-generation ancestor who relies on the legacy of his father’s generation?”
With a crunching sound, the cup in Anthony's hand was crushed by him: "Today's humiliation, I never want to experience it again. Why do I go through this? It's because I'm not strong enough. If I were strong enough, how dare that guy Magneto Attack me in broad daylight. If I were strong enough and had the influence and power of Kingpin, how could people like Tony Stark and Fox dare to talk to me?"
"Understood," Gin nodded and said, "Then, boss, when will we set off?"
"Quickly," Anthony turned around: "Let's make some arrangements for the gang first, and then before we set off, we have to go to a place and get something."
"Where?" Gin asked.
"Gotham City"
Gotham City is an ancient city located in New Jersey on the east coast of the United States. Because Gotham City's law enforcement agencies are relatively corrupt and their law enforcement capabilities are quite weak, gangs and super-criminals are everywhere here, so it is also one of the cities with the highest crime rate in the United States.
"Mr. Anthony, welcome to Gotham City," a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses led a group of men who didn't look like good guys to the dock to greet Anthony.
"Mr. Sean, it's been a long time no see," Anthony greeted with the same cordial expression.
Qin Hui also has three friends, not to mention gang bosses like Anthony. In order to make things smoother when he came to Gotham City this time, Anthony contacted the only gang boss he had a good relationship with in Gotham City.
Don't look at the humble appearance of the man in front of you. He is a member of the Elliott family, one of the four major families in Gotham City. Although he is not an important member of the family, he is quite energetic in Gotham City.
After some pleasantries, Anthony and his group got into their car and rushed to Gotham City.
Gotham City is covered with clouds under the night sky, and the weird Gothic buildings standing tall all around make people feel depressed unconsciously. Even good people may become violent if they stay here for a long time. No wonder the crime rate here is so high.
While talking to Sean next to him, Anthony secretly admired him. It's not anything else. It takes a certain amount of courage to dare to survive in such a dangerous place as Gotham City.
Apart from anything else, just along the way, Anthony could see through the window that there were at least four robberies, three shootings and murders directly on the road, and a bank was robbed. It's a Gotham City with simple folk customs and outstanding people. Arkham is probably not as lawless as Hell's Kitchen, the most chaotic place in New York.
At this time, Anthony couldn't help but feel lucky. Fortunately, before he came to Gotham City, he notified the local gang leader who was close to him to pick him up. Otherwise, he didn't know how much trouble he would have caused.
"By the way, Anthony, if you need anything in our Gotham City this time, just ask," Sean said with a rather generous look.
Anthony looked at him deeply, and of course he knew his intentions. Although the Sean in front of you looks harmless, but for someone who has established a foundation in Gotham City and is still alive today, you will know that he is not a simple character. Not to mention that the other party is a member of the Elliott family, one of the four major families in Gotham City.
Looking at the other party's smiling face, Anthony curled his lips secretly. It seemed that the batch of black goods he was asked to deal with last time made a lot of money, otherwise he would never be so enthusiastic. But this time when he came to Gotham City, he really needed the help of a local snake, so it seemed that he was going to be given an advantage again.
"I'm here the same as last time. I'm mainly here to handle a batch of goods. To be honest, I've cooperated with so many people. Only you, Mr. Sean, are the most pleasant to cooperate with. It's still the same volume as last time. So please. "Anthony asked someone for help and complimented him. In fact, the person in front of him was one of the people who helped Anthony deal with the goods brought from the national treasure world and was one of the most aggressive in lowering prices. If the other person had not been valuable, he would have calmed down. Anthony wouldn't even pay attention to such a person.
"Of course, no problem," Sean said with a very proud look: "Anyone who has worked with me knows that working with me is a very pleasant thing."
Sean also guessed at this time that Anthony might have some appeal to him, otherwise there would be no need to ship the goods in his hands with the channel run by the other party that even he was jealous of. So he generously accepted Anthony's huge sum of money, which was similar to public relations fees.
The two sides chatted with each other for a while, and Anthony finally said the purpose of his trip: "Mr. Sean, in fact, in addition to personally handling this batch of goods, I came to Gotham City this time, but I also need your help with some small things. ."
"Oh, tell me," Sean knew that he had finally entered the topic. To be honest, he was really curious about what Anthony, a new member of the New York gang, was doing in Gotham City.
"I want to go to Arkham." Anthony said lightly.
Squeak~ The vehicle Anthony was riding in suddenly braked, and the car behind almost rear-ended him. You know, those who can be brought out by Sean to prop up the facade must be the elite of his gang. Even the elites of the gang are afraid of being like this, which shows the intimidation power of the name Arkham in Gotham City.
"Haha," Sean also looked embarrassed and said with an ugly face: "I'm sorry, Mr. Anthony, what did you just say?"
"Arkham Asylum"
ps: I didn’t expect that my collection would increase so quickly after being listed in the category recommendation. Also, can anyone guess what Anthony is going to do in Arkham Asylum and what world he will enter next? No prizes for guessing correctly. At the same time, I would like to thank seoh＊Xian Ai, Qian Zhiming, and peaceful tourists for their rewards. Thank you for your affirmation.
