Gotham Laugher

Chapter 11 Annoying Big Mom
"Gambling, casino?"

Oswald's sandwich stopped in his mouth, and he couldn't swallow it.

"Yes." Galina seemed to be more interested, and began to talk excitedly, "The background of that casino is very deep. I heard that it was opened by Mr. Falcone. I have friends who work there. You can accompany me there. Take a look."

Oswald put down the sandwich.

It's not that I want to refuse directly, but I want to calm down my fearful heart.

As mentioned in the preface.

Although Gotham City is peaceful today, there are actually some forces that are undercurrents.

Carmine Falcone, Sal Maroni, two mob bosses and Gotham's justice form a delicate balance.

The two gangsters can secretly open some casinos, or be pimps who solicit customers, or some other businesses.

But the premise is not to be too blatant.

For example, you can't go to the streets where there are policemen, or places that are too conspicuous to do this.

Otherwise, the GCPD will arrest them directly, and they will not be released on bail. This is also a very important point for the check and balance of gangster power.

Because it is easy to be arrested, many people will not choose to join the gang, which makes people feel that the omnipotent gang has been severely weakened.

But even so, for Oswald, the gang is still a terrifying existence.

Galina smiled slyly like a fox, and made a gloomy look, "Oswald, you are not afraid, are you?"

"That's a gangster, of course I'm... afraid." Oswald said after struggling for a long time.

Galina gritted her teeth secretly.

She was acting aggressively, thinking that Oswald would try to save face, so she could lure this little cripple to the casino, and then try to make him addicted to gambling.

But who would have thought that this freak could be so upright.

"But I want to go." Galina stared at Oswald with wide eyes.

Oswald hesitated for a moment.

This decision is still difficult to make.

Although he didn't have that kind of thought about Galina, she was the only friend he had never discriminated against since he was a child.

"OK, let's go and have a look." Oswald said this in a low voice.

"Yeah!" Galina returned excitedly.

…………

On the other side, on a certain street in the East District.

"Everyone, everyone, don't miss it when you pass by, the best sandwich in the East Side of Gotham City!"

Luo Ke is frying meat, dealing with customers, collecting money, making burgers, and making sure that he has enough ingredients.

On the side of the modified booth is a stool.

The person sitting above is Harleen.

It's just that, unlike the little girl before, Harleen now has an expression of lovelessness.

The reason is also very simple.

Rocker dressed Harleen in a pink tutu skirt, white stockings, small sandals, and most importantly, an oversized bow on her head.

This made Harleen, who claimed to be an orphan, somewhat unacceptable.

But according to Rock.

This is also one of the prices she has to pay to live in Rock's house, which is to dress like a doll and then act as a mascot to attract guests.

Of course, such behavior is still very helpful to Luo Ke's business.

As we all know, the biggest problem with a new store is that there is no fixed source of customers, so it is difficult to survive the early stage.

But with a girl like a doll like Harleen, it is easy to attract some people, and then some of these people just want to eat, and it happens that this is a sandwich stand.

Oh, let's have something to eat.

Hmm~ It smells good~

In this way, there will be a source of customers, business, money, and a better life, so much harmony.

At least Luo Ke thinks so, and the fact is that it develops like this.

It's just the only thing that he didn't expect.

"Excuse me, sir, is this little girl your child?" When Luo Ke was making a sandwich, a black aunt walked up to Luo Ke with a smile and asked such a question.

"Hey, don't you need to line up! Come back!"

"Ma'am, you can't go to the first seat like this."

Several people who were queuing began to be dissatisfied.

The black aunt frowned, took out an ID from her pocket, showed it in front of everyone, and said, "I'm from the Children's Protection Association. I suspect that you are abusing this girl."

"w~hat?" ×2.

Luo Ke and Harleen elongated their voices at the same time, seemingly incredulous.

The black aunt looked indifferent.

"Your child is only about ten years old. You can't let such a young girl accompany you to do business on the street. You have to go to school."

"Go to school?" Luo Ke scratched his head, "It's so troublesome. I remember that the current policy is 12 years of free education, so I shouldn't need to spend money."

The black aunt nodded.

"That's true. Public elementary schools are free. If you can, you can close your business now and take this kid to go through the formalities. If I see you setting up a stall here with your child again, I will Will call the police."

"OK, OK."

Luo Ke quickly surrendered.

He knew that for a meddlesome age like aunt, whether it was his world or the current world, as long as the world was at peace, they would always be the creatures with the highest combat effectiveness.

The black aunt was sent away.

Luo Ke didn't bother to continue doing business anymore. Seeing this, the people around him lost their minds about eating sandwiches and looking at the little girl, and dispersed one after another, leaving only Luo Ke and Harleen.

The two looked at each other for a while.

"Well, do you want to go to school?" Luo Ke asked after a long time.

"I don't want to." Harleen resolutely refused, and said, "It doesn't matter whether I go to school or not. I can study on my own and then go straight to university."

"But I was warned by that black aunt just now." Luo Ke said with his arms akimbo: "Since you are from the orphanage, it doesn't matter. I can be your guardian. At worst, go to the orphanage to go through the adoption procedures."

"You want to adopt me?" Harleen's eyes widened.

"Uh huh." Luo Ke said as it should be: "You lived in my house, and I didn't even charge your rent, and I didn't adopt you. Am I keeping it as a pet?"

"Well, actually, I don't mind." Harleen seemed to force a smile and said.

Luo Ke also showed a smile: "I mind."

Little Harleen's face collapsed.

"Anyway, I don't go to school, at worst you drive me out."

Luo Ke put his hands on his chest and said with a smile on his face: "I won't drive you out, but I will search all the orphanages in Gotham City. If you find out that you lied to me, guess what. How will I punish you?"

Rocker took Harleen Quizell completely as an adult when he said this, and didn't realize it until he finished speaking.

Saying this to a little loli, why do you feel like a pervert?
　In the next chapter, the two protagonists will meet, ha!
