Chapter 402
Prestige is a good thing.
For people with great ambitions, prestige is absolutely an indispensable decoration. How does a stranger identify whether a leader is worthy of following, how to judge whether a power is worthy of attention, prestige is the first Judgment elements.
An obscure guy is definitely no one would expect too much. The era of heroes starting from recklessness has long passed. When a group of people are groping in the dark, those whole bodies have their own auras. Those who can illuminate the way forward will be surrounded by them instinctively.
Then it rolls bigger and bigger like a snowball, and eventually becomes the Great Influence of overseeing a area.
But prestige is also bad. Once you are followed by too many people, trouble will always follow.
"Boss, just yesterday, more than 500 Mutants flooded into the Gotham wharf area."
Lewis bit the chicken leg in his hand with a headache and gave Cyber, who was drinking porridge. Complaining: "They came from all over the country, even the furthest from Brazil. They didn't know anything about Gotham. They just yelled to see you and join the Devil Gang."
Cyber remain unmoved, he blew the warm porridge, put it in his mouth, chewed a few times, then said:
"How much did you accept?"
"Confiscated all of them!"
Lewis spread out his greasy hands and said helplessly: "Shauna little girl went back to London to study. We have no way to identify their thoughts. I will take them all They are still at Pier 11, but you can’t just raise them like this, right?"
"How about the staff composition?"
Cyber asked again, this time the answer is Cooper, This guy is now the Deputy Director of the Exit-Entry Administration Bureau of the Port Authority. He is still in the shape of a floral shirt and beach pants. While dividing the pizza on the plate, he said:
"Well, yes. Those exiled to us are definitely not mixed up too well. They are all low-level Mutants below the gamma level, and most of them are homeless guys, and a small part of them are engaged in some not-so-good jobs. ...Thieves, thieves, fugitives, etc., you don’t have to ask, you can tell from their eyes."
He took a bite of the pizza, shrugged:
"Remove After Mutant’s identity, they are like a bunch of refugees."
"Um..."
Cyber picked up the tablecloth and wiped his mouth, flashing in his eyes After a moment of thinking, he said:
"Did Harvey call and say a few days ago that the gangster on the Brother Xi side is doing something abnormal?"
When I heard this, Lewis threw away the chicken bones, wiped his fingers with the tablecloth, and said disdainfully:
"Those craps always want to take our place, and they will also gain this time. Failure! Harvey's army will tear down every bone of theirs!"
"No, no, no, I mean..."
Cyber's mouth pops up With a calm smile, he said softly: "I mean, since there are a group of Mutants crying and shouting to join us, why should we let our brother fight and bleed?"
He reached out and picked up a boiled corn, and pulled the corn kernels down a little bit. He s norted:
"Blood can bring loyalty, right? Throw them and the subsequent Mutant on the battlefield of Brother Xi. The war will tell us who is trustworthy. Let Toad and his brothers lead this group of guys. "
Lewis and Cooper looked at each other, the latter hesitated, took a bite of the pizza, and said softly:
"But Boss, let such a group of rookies with no combat experience We threw them directly into the battlefield of drug lords, I am afraid that they will...will be wiped out. This may not be good for your reputation. "
"If you die, you will die. It will be good if you die clean!" "
Cyber shook his hand: "Fame? What use do we want that stuff? Are you really planning to establish a nation in Gotham? Do not be silly! Cruelty is the good reputation we should pursue now, to scare away those guts and to attract those real mainstays. "
He snorted, picked up the corn kernels on the plate with chopsticks and threw it into his mouth. He glanced at his men:
"Those who can neither fight nor are willing to fight hard , Just thinking about the cool offal under the big tree. What am I doing here? Keep them for Christmas? "
"Okay, Boss, we get it! "
Lewis and Cooper shared the rest of the pizza. The two left the villa with their fore and aft feet. Cyber leaned on a chair to rest. Mei with an apron cleaned the table with a cold face and said nothing. Cleaning the room, speaking of which, after Dorothy left, the house soon ushered in another more indifferent "maid maid".
"ding dong"
The sound of the doorbell made Cyber open his eyes from a break. He glanced at Mei, then opened the door in his pajamas and slippers. As a result, the moment the door opened, a little guy threw himself in his arms. .
"Cyber Uncle! I'm here again! "
Damian .Wayne, with black hair, full of energy, and a decent little black suit, threw a cannonball from father’s arms into Cyber’s arms.
This is swift and violent. Cyber was shocked by the blow, but then he laughed and touched the little fellow's head, moved towards the Wayne and his wife standing outside the door, and motioned for them to come in. Cyber carried the restless Damian and walked into the house. , Took a piece of candy from his hand and stuffed it into his hand, patted his head: "Go find your sister Katherine to play, they are going to meet some good friends today, you can follow along go. "
Damian's cool snorted:
"I don't play with girls, and I don't know their friends. "
"Hahaha"
Cyber laughed and patted him on the shoulder, and blinked at Damian very mysteriously: "Go, I promise you, little man, today If you don't go, you will regret it for the rest of your life. It is definitely a good friend you have never met. "
Damian hesitated. He knew that this mysterious Cyber Uncle would not lie to him. After all, he was Red Devil. He looked back at father and mother. In the end, it was Rachel who brought him. Damian went upstairs to find Katherine and those little girls who were still sleeping in hu hu.
Leaving Cyber and Bruce in the living room, everyone knows that these two people have something to say.
"speaking of which, why are you busy people coming to me today? "
Cyber personally poured a cup of tea for Bruce. The latter was dressed in casual clothes, changing from the usual serious manners, full of leisure and pleasure, he glanced at Cyber and asked softly:
"Can't I come to see the old friend? "
Cyber snorted, sat opposite Bruce, his legs crossed:
"Where is Alfred?" "
"Alfred is not in good health recently. I took him to Rome for a vacation. He may have to spend a long recovery period there. "
Bruce has a trace of sadness on his face: "He is old after all. To be honest, Gotham's weather is not very suitable for elderly care." "
Cyber took a sip of the hot tea, and he waved his hand:
"Don't worry, people like Alfred will live forever. "
This seems to be a good blessing, but it's not just a blessing. According to a mental disorder, as long as the people around Batman stay in Gotham, they will never die.
It's not easy to say whether it is an evil blessing, but the only certainty is: Old Alfred can definitely see his young Young Master grow up safely.
One of the two men The conversation between the two is always accompanied by a lot of silence, but the atmosphere is not embarrassing. Speaking of which, these two guys haven’t been sitting together and chatting peacefully for a long time.
" Say, in the past few days Gotham has flooded in with a lot of Mutants, you are also very famous now, how does it feel to be a star? "
Bruce moved towards Cyber waved the newspaper. The long pages on that page were all about Cyber's introduction. In the absence of information, the reporters on the Eastern Sea shore gave full play to their brains. The advantage of making up, in just one week, it has produced 7 completely different background stories for Cyber.
From the fallen aristocrats in the far east, to those born in Gotham's mysterious family, and even the ones that can be the most talked about Lace tabloid claimed that Cyber does not exist at all. What people saw that day was only the false memory projected in people's minds by the mysterious Professor X.
Faced with this teasing problem, Cyber shrugged:
“After Sergei interrupted the leg of the seventh reporter who tried to sneak a photo, no one dared to disturb my life anymore, so if you have to ask, I’ll say that it’s actually the same as before. ..."
He said this, stopped, lifts the head to look at Bruce, and increased his tone:
"You are worried that Mutant’s entry into Gotham will affect this Bad but orderly order in the city? "
"en."
Bruce nodded, did not deny Cyber's statement, he pondered for a moment, and said:
"Joker's recent actions are a bit weird. He seemed to be aware of something, you know, it's like a rat or a snake that is aware of the coming of an earthquake. He will escape early. Although he did not escape, he converged his actions. I started to monitor the city again, and then I found a lot of problems. What a good sign. "
He lifts the head, and a dignified look flashes in his eyes:
"A major event will happen in Gotham. I have a hunch that it will not be smaller than the previous League of Shadows invasion. At this time, I really don’t want another force to enter here again. "
Cyber spreads out his hands:
"Look, Devil Gang maintains the agreement. We have not expanded. As for Mutant, I can guarantee that they will not affect the city. Now, it's messy enough. This city is yours. I don't have the idea to take a hot potato into my arms. I won't make trouble for myself. "
He sighed, shook his hand a little sadly, and said lazily:
"I may be leaving Gotham again in a few days. This time will be longer. A lot of troublesome things are waiting for me to do, so do what you want, don’t worry about Devil Gang. "
"en. "
Bruce nodded, he changed his style, touched the teacup and asked softly: "I came here for help this time. I heard that you and Dongying Which ninja organization has dealt with? "
"en?"
Cyber was shocked: "The Hand and Foot Clan? Haven't they been pulled up by the roots? I did it myself. "
"Sorry, you didn't. "
Bruce took something out of his arms and placed it in front of Cyber. It was a dark red kunai with blood stained on it. Cyber picked it up and placed it in front of his eyes and looked at it:
"There is a familiar smell... it smells like those damn monsters, so Foot Clan! Where did you find this? "
He looked at Bruce, who pointed to the west:
"Xicheng District, Penguin’s sphere of influence, there was a murder case 3 days ago and 7 wanderings Han violent death, there is a feeling of cult sacrifice, this thing I found at the scene. "
Cyber's eyes puffed up, the dark red karma melted under the burning of the orange rays of light burst from his fingertips little by little, and finally became a round ball, he Nose twitched:
"Well, I will tell you everything about Foot Clan and The Hand, but frankly speaking, I can’t spare time to help you now. If you need help, Go to the port area to find Lewis and Cooper. By the way... if you need high-end battle strength help, go to the sewer at Pier 14. "
Cyber put the tea to his mouth, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"I am happy to introduce my friends to you, they also have The Hand and Foot Clan Involved, maybe they can help you. "
That night, after having a dinner cooked by Cyber, Damian followed Katherine, Emma and Clarice, and Cornelia Hawkins, an otaku scientist who never paid much attention to external affairs, was also caught They pulled out, and the five children were standing surreptitiously at Gotham Pier 14 in the dusk, seeming to be waiting for something.
"Katherine sister, who are you going to meet? "
Damian was playing with the bat knife that Cyber gave him. This kind of special weapons rolled around like butterflies and flowers in this little child's hands. This kid inherited his father's fine bloodline. , There is a surprising innate talent for this cold weapon.
"Hush! "
Katherine winked and winked at Damian. Her gaze was searching for the sea in front of her. When she saw the four side-by-side ripples, the little girl was immediately excited. She waved Katana, shouted:
"Turtle, come on! I miss you guys! "
next moment, Michelangelo's huge body jumped out from under the sea, put a handsome pose to a few girls, and then fell into the sea, followed by Raphael, then Donatello, and finally It's the steady Leonardo, it's like a perfect diving performance. This scene immediately caused the girls to scream, like a fanatical fan.
"Are there pizza? Katherine, my dear Mochi, traveling all the way from New York, I am starving to death! ”
Michelangelo’s four ninja turtles washed ashore, holding hands with Katherine’s girls, and talking very familiarly, while on one side, someone was already frightened.
"Pa"
The bat knife in Damian's hand fell directly to the ground, and the little man rubbed his eyes vigorously. He looked towards Cornelia next to him for help:
"Sister Cornelia, have you seen it? That's... that's... the big talking tortoise? "
The female scientist at home was also confused at this time, she muttered to herself:
"I always thought Katherine was lying to me...they, they It actually exists, my God, grandfather will go crazy! "
