The heavens begin with the king of gotham

Chapter 4 Penguin

As soon as it gets dark, the robbers in Gotham City are suffering from their old crimes.

Gordon and his partner Harvey Bullock searched for robbers everywhere, trying to find clues related to the murder of the Waynes, putting everyone in danger.

"Greedy, dirty, brainless fool."

Oswald Cobblepot was walking in the alley outside the bar, commenting disdainfully on the captured robbers. He had always looked down on those who relied on brute force to achieve their goals.

To hang out, you need to rely on your brains.

Of course, the main reason is that he is thin and weak, and his force value is too low.

"Hey, Penguin."

Oswald's face suddenly became ugly. Due to physical reasons, he had been bullied since he was a child, so he was very sensitive.

He hated being called this humiliating name.

Several tall and strong men gathered around, and Oswald quickly showed a flattering smile.

"Hey Kenny, how can I help you?"

Hate it, hate it, but Oswald also knows how to assess the situation and be able to bend and stretch.

"It's true, Penguin." The speaker was a slightly wretched man with a beard. He came closer and asked, "When will Fish come back today?"

"You know I can't reveal the whereabouts of my boss." Penguin shook his head in response. Seeing the strong men surrounding him even tighter, he quickly added, "But I won't be alive before four o'clock in the afternoon."

The Penguin is Fish Mooney's umbrella boy, and it's obvious that he's not alive.

"Good job, Penguin."

Kenny patted the Penguin on the cheek with satisfaction, and then led the people away.

Penguin's smile disappeared immediately, his face changed quickly, and he stared coldly in the direction Kenny and others were leaving.

"You lied."

A voice sounded, and the Penguin quickly put away his expression, turned around and looked over, and saw Li Ming walking out of the corner. He had been here for a while.

Penguin is an excellent partner in his mind.

Yes, partners.

Although he is a villain and is known for his ruthlessness, Penguin has nothing to say to his own people. This is much better than the positive character Gordon.

Of course, the premise is that he treats you as a friend, not a subordinate.

Li Ming will often travel to other worlds in the future. If the leader does not show up for a long time, no matter how powerful the power is, it will collapse, especially a group like the gang with the leader as the center.

So Li Ming decided to let the forces adopt the model of Penguin as the leader, with him behind the scenes.
  Between controlling an entire gang and controlling a Penguin, Li Ming feels that the Penguin is easier.

Because Penguin is just a minion now, and he still has the obvious weakness of his mother.

Moreover, if there is an encirclement and suppression by the gang in the future, Penguin will be the one to take the blame.

"It's you, the boxer."

Penguin recognized Li Ming at a glance. He was very well-informed and immediately relaxed:

"You want to come and join Fish? That's a good idea."

"But Fish may not have time to see you, you know what I mean, sir?"

Thinking that Li Ming was here to seek asylum, Penguin habitually picked up the shelf and waited for the price.

Penguin has always been arrogant towards people whose status is inferior to his own.

In his eyes, the boxer being hunted was a proper low-level person.

"I'm not looking for Fish. In fact, the Maroney family has never threatened me."

Li Ming knew very well that if he wanted to deal with people like Penguin, he couldn't lose in terms of momentum from the beginning.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Li Ming. You can call me Li."

"I'm here to see you, Oswald."

"I don't quite understand what you mean, sir."

The Penguin became wary, wondering how a boxer who was being hunted could breathe so loudly.

"They're stealing Fish's money, right?"

Li Ming changed the subject and asked, but in an affirmative tone.

He recognized that Kenny was the money thief whom Fish Mooney taught him when he appeared in the play.

At that time, Gordon happened to be looking for Fish to inquire about the murder of the Waynes, and even came up to make inquiries.

So Li Ming concluded that Penguin must have lied. Seeing that Li Ming was so sure, Penguin no longer pretended to be stupid:

"Yes." Penguin smiled slightly, "Kenny takes money from the bar every week. He thinks no one knows."

Penguin shrugged: "But I know."

"Fish will be back at two o'clock this afternoon. Kenny is finished."

Oswald became more and more excited as he talked. He was very much looking forward to seeing that scene.

Li Ming was not surprised. That was the case with the Penguin. Whoever he wanted to take revenge on would definitely not be able to wait until the next day.

"Clap clap clap."

Li Ming applauded and praised: "Those who bully the weak always treat the weak with arrogance."

"But they don't know that an elephant that is hated by ants is also in danger."

Penguin was a little puzzled, but felt a little comfortable hearing this.

"I admire you, Oswald."

"Ah...uh...thank you."

Tian Lian could see that this was the first time Penguin had heard recognition from someone other than his mother, and he didn't know how to respond, which made him incoherent for a moment.

He is not yet the King of Gotham in the future. At most, he is a gangster who wants to replace the boss. How have I ever heard such nice words.

"Gotham is about to be in chaos, I believe you can see it." Li Ming stepped forward, and Oswald had no intention of retreating at this time. "Falcone is old, and new forces are rising. Someone will always take their place.”

Li Ming stared into Penguin's eyes and could see that he also agreed. In the plot, he took advantage of the situation and took advantage of it.

"So, who will be the final winner and who will become the King of Gotham?"

Li Ming slowly named the candidates:
  "Sal Maroney?"

Penguin shook his head.

"Fish Mooney?"

Penguin still shook his head. Although Fish was his boss, if Fish took over, it would mean that he would always be the umbrella boy.

"Or some other small gang?"

Penguin disapproved even more. Upon seeing this, Li Ming immediately gave his last option:

"Since it's possible, why can't it be us?"

"us?"

Penguin's heart began to pound. This sentence touched his heart, but it was actually a bit unrealistic.

He has the guts to kill the boss and take over, but the King of Gotham?
  He hasn't thought about it yet.

And he also grasped the key points of Li Ming's words.

"You want to recruit me?" Penguin smiled half-heartedly. Although Li Ming's words were to his liking, he was not someone who would change his boss easily.

"Not now." Li Ming wasn't so anxious, "I'll get to know you first. I'll come back when you need me."

After speaking, Li Ming turned around and left, leaving Oswald standing there in shock.

Of course, Li Ming didn't think that Penguin could be brought under his command with just a few words. Even after Penguin kidnapped people, he didn't even know how to get ransom.

It sounds a bit absurd to say that if you want to conquer the villain Penguin, you have to play the emotional card.

The attitude towards the strong Penguin is often to surrender first and then consider replacing him.

But for the friends he recognizes, Penguin can be considered as heartfelt.

In the plot, because Gordon spared his life, Penguin has since regarded Gordon as the person he trusts most besides his mother.

Gordon can do it, but I, Li Ming, can't do it?

Li Ming thought carefully for a long time last night, connected the plots he knew together, and made a comprehensive plan.

Li Ming planned to copy Gordon's approach, first sit back and watch the Penguin fall into dire straits, and then come out to save him. When the time comes, the Penguin himself will come over.

This move is about playing hard to get.
