Chapter 26 Falcone’s Good Friday

"Mr. Falcone, your woman Lisa is in my hands. Do you still want to see her again?"

Upon hearing this, Falcone immediately realized that something was wrong and replied decisively:
  "Sure, I guess."

There was a sound of Lisa begging for mercy on the phone, as if someone was beating her, which made Falcon's heart twitch.

"An intermediary will contact you soon." said the other end of the phone.

"Don't hurt her, she's just an ordinary person."

Falcone quickly begged for mercy, but the call had been hung up.

He put his hands on his mouth and frowned. The overlord of Gotham looked vulnerable at this moment.

After thinking about it, Falcone quickly took out his cell phone and dialed.

"Falco cabinet, what's going on?"

The moment he received Falcone's call, Li Ming knew what was going on, but he had to pretend that he didn't know anything.

"Lisa was kidnapped," Falcone said in a low voice.

"Is there any news from you?"

Li Ming was silent for a moment and then replied: "No, what did the kidnapper tell you?"

"He said he would find an intermediary to talk to me."

"Under the Falco cabinet, you should know." Li Ming carefully considered his words, "Generally, there is a high probability that this kind of middleman is also the mastermind behind the scenes."

"Yes I know."

"But I just want Lisa back safe."

Li Ming pretended to feel that something was wrong: "Under Falco's cabinet, no matter what the other party's conditions are, don't be impulsive."

"I, I'll go and ask for you. Don't be in a hurry to agree to the other party."

Falcone can no longer control that much: "Li, you are a smart man, and it has been a pleasure working with you."

"But Lisa is too important to me. She is the other half of my life. I also roughly know what conditions they will ask for."

"But I'm sorry, I'm going to let you down."

On the other end of the phone, Li Ming spoke more and more quickly, as if he was trying his best to dissuade: "Under Falco's cabinet, is it worth giving up his career because of a woman he has been with for two months?"

"Believe me, let me check first."

"No need, Lee." Falcone sounded regretful. "If you didn't know it beforehand, it's probably the radical faction of the Court of Owls. Lisa is already in their hands. Even if they find out, it's useless."

"It's my responsibility to prevent you from completing your mission."

"If the court wants to pursue you, I still have some options to ensure that you are fine."

"But before that, let's not contact you."

Falcone hung up the phone after saying that. Li Ming, who had a background in the Court of Owls, didn't even know about it, and his mood completely sank to the bottom.

In fact, he doesn't have no choice. As long as he doesn't care about Lisa's life or death, he has many ways to kill anyone who dares to threaten him.

But it's a pity that Lisa is more important to him than anything else now.

"The dead trees are springing up, and my heart is full of infatuation, but the bright moon shines on the ditch."

Li Ming shook his head and sighed.

Just like when he trained the little penguin, he planned to wait until Falcone was completely desperate before coming forward to tell him the truth.

This will greatly increase his trust in Falcone and lay the foundation for a transition of power.

After a period of suffering, Falcone finally received a call from the intermediary.

"Kamai, someone called me about your Lisa."

"They wanted me to help with a deal."

"I didn't expect it to be you." Falcone paused, "Fish."

Fish also wanted to quibble: "I'm just a middleman, I just want to help."

But her tone was a little panicked. She was afraid that if Lisa wasn't that important in Falco's heart, she would be doomed.

"Okay, honey."

"I know you did it, just be honest."

Seeing that he couldn't stand it anymore, Fish simply broke the jar and threw it.

"It's me." "How long have we known each other, Fish?" Falcone said with a hint of old age, "You have always been the smartest one in our family."

Fish didn't want to keep talking anymore and stated the conditions directly: "She will not be harmed and leave Gotham, that's all."

"Leave Gotham and never come back, and you can take her with you."

Falcone had already expected it. After a moment of silence, he decisively agreed: "Okay."

"Wait for my call." After saying that, Fish hung up the phone.

"You succeeded!" Big Fat Butch said in surprise, and he quickly opened a bottle of champagne and poured it for her. "It's time to celebrate, you finally got rid of the old man."

And Lisa, whom Falco was thinking about in his heart, was sitting intact on the side.

"Now is not the time to celebrate." Fish knew that there were the most variables before success, so he was not so optimistic.

Moreover, when he was about to get what he wanted, Fish found that he was not as happy as he had imagined.

"He was a great man, and if he had stayed, others would have killed him." Fish made excuses for his behavior.

"I was doing him a favor and giving him an easy way out!"

"I owe him this."

Fish Mooney was rescued by Falcone many years ago and became his subordinate, so now that he has betrayed Falcone, Fish feels very complicated.

"How does he sound?" Lisa asked.

"Sad." Fish made an arrangement for Lisa, "You have to leave Gotham with him and stay for a while. Can you do it?"

"Of course." Lisa replied without hesitation.

After this period of time together, she also fell in love with Falcone.

"Lisa, you can like him as much as you like, but you must not tell him the truth!" Fish warned solemnly.

Lisa nodded: "I know."

On the other side, Falcone slumped on the sofa, holding a glass of wine to drown his sorrows, suffering two major blows in one day.

Lovers are caught and intimately betrayed.

It made him deeply feel that he was old, and he had the idea of ​​abdicating.

"Sir, let me do it."

The handsome bald guy behind him, Sass Victor, suggested.

"Need not."

"No?" Victor was surprised. This was not like the Falco cabinet he knew.

"If Fish and the others..." Falcone paused, "No, there must be others."

"If they all want me to step aside that much, then maybe it's time."

"They all want me to go to the country and live with Lisa, which is not bad." Falcone raised his hand, a red flower that Lisa gave her this morning.

"I want it, so why not do it?"

Victor couldn't find anything else to say, so he could only retreat.

The room fell silent again.

After a long time, Falcone spoke.

"Quiet young man, I can hear you sighing."

Victor walked out angrily: "Sorry, sir."

Now he no longer has a head full of worries, but he still has a head full of worries.

At this time, the boy outside brought an unexpected person in, and Victor hurriedly greeted him, staring closely at the visitor.

The visitor is the Penguin.

Penguin stared back at him without fear.

Victor suddenly smiled, knowing that things had taken a turn for the worse and that his retirement trip under Falco's cabinet might be ruined.

　Thanks to White Ghost Dark Star for the big reward.
