Chapter 136
“Penguin!”
In the bar, looking at the Penguin in a top hat and a tuxedo, Angela let out a low cry of surprise.
Penguin, formerly known as Oswald Chesterfield Copperpot, was born inOne of Gotham City’s four major families, the Copperpot family, is an eccentric underworld boss known for using penguins and umbrellas as symbols of his underworld dealings.
It can be said that the most famous underworld boss in Gotham is Penguin. Before Angela came to Gotham, she investigated his information and knew that he was an extremely dangerous criminal.
“Ma’am, you killed many of my subordinates.”
The Penguin raised his umbrella and tapped the corpse on the ground.
Elegant posture, as if this is not an underground bar, but a studio in Vienna, and he is a music conductor holding a baton on a high platform.
“However, I decided to forgive you.”
Penguin lightly pressed his top hat, looked up and sighed in an aria: “Shakespeare once said that tolerance is like the rain from the sky that nourishes the earth. It blesses the tolerant and also blesses the tolerant. people.”
“And now, I bless you and save you from death.”
“This is also a mental illness!” Li Xu felt a toothache from hearing it.
It is said that Penguin was always humiliated and ridiculed by his classmates because he was short and fat when he was a child. What happened when he was young made him very inferior, and his mind gradually became extreme. He wanted to win the respect and fear of others, and finally embarked on a criminal career and became the all-powerful underworld tycoon in Gotham City.
At the same time, because of his low self-esteem, Penguin’s demeanor, clothing, and movements are deliberately elegant, with a gentlemanly demeanor. He likes to quote Shakespeare’s verses, and he also has serious cleanliness. As soon as someone disobeyed him, he immediately became angry.
“Beauty is more likely to cause evil than gold and silver, and your beauty has won my forgiveness.”
The Penguin walked gracefully in front of Angela, slowly raised his hand, and caressed Angela’s face.
“Bah!”
Angela spat at the Penguin.
“Rude and disrespectful woman!!”
Penguin’s face immediately sank, and he frowned in disgust. He took out a new white handkerchief and wiped the spittle on his clothes.
After wiping, the Penguin turned around and said coldly, “Kill her!!”
The surrounding men in black suits nodded yes, aimed their guns at Angela, and pulled the trigger.
boom! !
The bullet spun out of the gun barrel, but when it approached Angela, its speed slowed down immediately, and it froze in the air.
“Who?”
Seeing this strange scene, the penguin’s pupils contracted and he quickly opened the black umbrella.
The umbrella he never leaves is actually a high-tech weapon, which contains guns, swords, small missiles, lasers, flamethrowers, and acid and poison gas on the umbrella tip.
Even in a pinch, the umbrella can serve as a shield and a small helicopter.
“An uninvited psychiatrist.”
Li Xu canceled the [Distorted Light] skill and walked out of the shadows.
“It’s you!”
Angela let out a low cry.
Angela still has a deep memory of Li Xu who struck up a conversation with her just now. After all, it is rare to see a man with such outstanding temperament and appearance.
“Is it strange?”
Li Xu asked back with a smile, standing in front of Angela, looking directly at the Penguin and the many men in black suits behind him.
“Are you… the new dean of Arkham?”
After carefully looking at Li Xu, the penguin had a solemn expression.
As the gangster of Gotham, he has a close cooperative relationship with many villains, such as Scarecrow and Riddler.
Regarding the recent events in Arkham, he has a general understanding. He knows that the Asian man in front of him is the newly appointed dean of Arkham. It is said that Batman was captured by him into Arkham.
In Gotham, Batman is the standard by which a villain’s strength is measured. Since he can defeat Batman, the new dean may be very powerful.
“So I’m so famous?”
Li Xu smiled in surprise.
“certainly.”
The penguin’s eyes flickered a few times, and he politely stroked his chest and bent over: “It’s my first meeting. I’m very glad to meet you, Mr. Li.”
“Not so polite.”
Li Xu waved his hand: “I was thinking just now that I’m going to imprison you in Arkham. I’m a little embarrassed that you are so polite.”
“…”
The Penguin’s smile froze, and then he smiled more enthusiastically: “I have hated Batman for a long time, and Mr. Li captured Batman with his own strength, which really admires me.”
“It’s better to make friends with everyone. I have a little influence in Gotham. I believe I can help Mr. Li a lot.”
“What’s the point of this?”
Li Xu raised his eyebrows.
“Friends are my family, and helping is the right thing to do.” The penguin smiled politely.
“Fine.”
Li Xu put his arms around Angela, who was stunned, and turned to go out: “You wait, I will find you later, I may need a little help from you.”
“Looking forward to meeting you again.”
The Penguin took off his top hat and put it on his chest to salute.
“Boss, let them go like this?”
After a while, after Li Xu walked out of the bar, a subordinate in a black suit asked cautiously.
“You immediately mobilize your manpower and weapons, and lay an ambush at Copperpot Manor.”
The smile on Penguin’s face faded, and he said with deep eyes: “I’ll go to my old friend first to catch up and find out the details of the new Dean of Arkham.”
…
“Are you the dean of Arkham?”
After walking out of the bar, Angela couldn’t hold back her curiosity.
“What’s the problem?”
Li Xu came to the sports car with his arms around Angela.
“Well, it’s a little strange.”
Angela frowned in confusion.
As far as she knows, ArkhamIt is a lunatic asylum for prisoners, and the prisoners inside are extremely dangerous.
“Get in the car first.”
Li Xu helped Angela open the co-pilot’s door.
“thanks.”
Angela sat in the co-pilot and held out her hand to Li Xu: “My name is Angela Dodgson, an anti-narcotics police officer in Los Angeles. Thank you for your help today.”
“Li Xu, a psychiatrist, and the director of Arkham Asylum.”
Li Xu smiled and shook hands with Angela.
“Mr. Li.”
Angela hesitated for a while, but still couldn’t help asking curiously: “Just now the Penguin said that you locked Batman in Arkham, is it true?”
“Indeed.”
Li Xu answered while starting the sports car.
“Batman is the guardian of Gotham, why are you…” Angela hesitated to speak.
“The reason for this incident is more complicated.”
“Why don’t we find a place to have a drink and let’s talk slowly?” Angela gently brushed her long brown hair by her ears, revealing her fair and slender neck.
“of course can.”
Li Xu glanced at Angela unexpectedly, and stepped on the gas pedal to the end.
