Chapter 61 The Man Behind the Scenes
"With my help..." Before he finished speaking, Bane went around to the back of the tank and pointed to the half-palm print deeply imprinted on the armor next to the entrance door of the tank that was obviously replaced, and said: "This seems to be the tank of the National Guard that I destroyed with my bare hands."
"How is it possible?" Penguin widened his eyes, and this action caused his monocle to fall out of his eye sockets: "I am an honest and reliable Penguin. How could I take advantage of the fire and sell other people's equipment?"
The muscle freak with exploding muscles responded with silence.
"Okay, okay," under the other party's gaze, Penguin raised his hands in surrender: "Yes, I picked up those equipment, but I repaired them all. It's very simple, just replace some armor parts..."
Bane didn't say anything.
The batch of tanks he destroyed were all seriously damaged. Even if Penguin took away these equipment, he was able to repair them in a short time, which proved his strength.
The transaction was going on happily, and Bane's men were moving the weapons brought by Penguin.
"By the way, Bane, I have something to tell you."
The Penguin puffed on his cigar and put his monocle back into his eye socket.
"Did you know that a nuclear bomb of mine was stolen recently?"
"Nuclear weapons?" Bane paused.
He immediately said, "Damn it, you actually have such a dangerous thing."
The Penguin narrowed his eyes slightly.
This action is very deterrent. Even though he is an ugly thing with a height of less than 1.5 meters, short, fat and hooked nose, this action of squinting while smoking still makes people's hair stand on end.
"Don't you know that my nuclear weapons were stolen?"
Bane immediately asked him back, "Should I know?"
The two of them stared at each other for a while, and the atmosphere began to freeze slowly.
The Penguin and Bane's men beside him were smart and had begun to see some clues. They put down the weapons they handed over and stared at their respective bosses.
"Hahahahahahaha!" Penguin suddenly burst into laughter: "It's okay, good friend, I just want to ask you, if you know where the thief who stole my nuclear weapons is, remember to notify me as soon as possible so that I can rush over and tear him into pieces!" But Bane still tensed his muscles and looked at Penguin coldly. "Haha, hahaha..." Penguin laughed dryly twice and stopped talking. He called a little brother and said directly to Bane: "Let the armed helicopters on standby above us withdraw. I'm afraid Bane didn't do this. There's no need for them to point missiles at our dear customers." Bane's movements relaxed. The atmosphere began to become harmonious, and the tense confrontation disappeared. Penguin touched his chin and rolled his eyes. "My friend. These weapons may greatly enhance your strength," he said: "But I don't think highly of you. You will soon be defeated like the countless guys who have provoked Batman over the years." Seeing that Bane seemed a little gloomy, he didn't care. He saw that Bane's emotions were not written on his face as he showed on the surface, but the other party liked to play a brainless muscle man, so why not play along? Anyway, his goal was to let Bane fight the Bat for longer so that he could continue to sell goods, so he said bluntly: "For the sake of our partnership, Bane. I have met many talents from Arkham before, and they all said the same thing." "Bane is definitely not Batman, so let me point out a simple fact to you, my handsome ally. "No matter how many killers and strong men you bring from Santa Prisca Island and how many scum you recover from Blackgate Prison, these lunatics in Arkham have experienced worse situations and they are not afraid of you. "
Bain responded with silence.
The following transaction was unremarkable. In a strange silence, this special pair of customers and the merchant completed the handover.
"The next batch of weapons will be delivered to you in two days My ally, this time you will need to spend real money to buy it. You know, the super special price of exchanging so many weapons for a corpse only happens once."
He gave Bain a price list, which detailed how much money was needed to buy how many weapons, and then the Penguin left in a swagger under Bain's eyes.
A few minutes later, in a secluded corner.
Bain signaled several of his men to guard the front entrance and put his finger on his headset: "So, my ally...what do you suggest?"
"I'm not your ally."
Bane's headset came with a British accent, like a butler holding a plate, asking politely in a noble manor.
"We are just nakedly using each other, Bain. There is no need to tie us together...Are you addicted to playing the game of allies with the Penguin? "This is an extremely rude taunt, but Bane remained silent. "I provide you with the necessary information and give you money. You only need to repay me and achieve the goal you should have wanted - destroying Batman. This is my goal." The mysterious voice said: "No matter what method you use, even if it means destroying Gotham, it doesn't matter, just achieve your great cause." "I smell the scent of conspiracy." Bane said: "I never believe in help without reason."
But the mysterious voice ignored him. He continued, "The last sum of money for the purchase of weapons will be in place soon, and then we will never meet again."
"Give me as much as you can," Bane said.
"Of course, Bane," the figure in the dark paused his cane, "enough for you to arm all your men to the teeth."
Bane hung up the phone, turned around, and just as he was about to ask his men to leave with the weapons, he heard a violent noise.
"What's going on? Zombie, go and see."
Before the subordinate called Zombie Man by Bane could move, a voice came:
"There is no need for that at all, your name is Bane, right?"
"Puff!"
A slight laugh came, Bane frowned, and he saw the Zombie Man beside him smiled.
Bane silently activated the venom behind him. The dark green juice flowed, slightly raising his body by two or three inches.
"Oh, there's no need to be so vigilant. We're all against Batman. We're allies!"
"Puff! Hahahaha!"
The zombie man suddenly fell to his knees and started laughing hysterically.
Bane looked at the pale man in front of him: "Joker!"
