The gathering of wizards agreed upon by the messenger bird will take place at nightfall on the same day.
The world's number one fighting arena is in the glass loft, in the small living room near the kitchen.
Harley put down her fork, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and said, "Ivy, I plan to go to Gotham University to audit mechanical engineering. Are you interested in joining me?"
"Huh?" Ivy held the juicy and plump steak in her mouth, her fair face covered with sauce and confusion.
After being stunned for a while, she asked doubtfully: "You want to go to college directly? Do you understand? Why mechanical engineering? I'm not interested in mechanics."
Why Mechanical Engineering?
Harry glanced at the towering water tower outside the room and sighed in his heart. He didn't know enough, even if he had treasures, he wouldn't be able to use them!
Yesterday she went into the armory empty-handed, and when she came back there was an Optimus Prime truck behind her.
In addition to the M4 carbine, M230 grenade launcher and a large number of bullets and grenades for the younger brother to equip, there is also a set of "malfunctioning" Sea Sparrow hidden at the bottom of the carriage.
The Archimedes airship is hidden in the water tower next to the glass room.
The bottom of the water tower is five meters high from the rooftop, and it is only a quarter full of water. Archimedes is hovering on the steel support.
When in danger, Aki can directly smash the iron sheet outside and rush to the savior as quickly as possible.
In addition, Aki also has its own radar system, which may be a bit outdated, but can at least monitor helicopters or RPG missiles approaching the building.
It's a pity that Aki only has a radar system, not even an old antique "Scud".
From last night until this afternoon, Harley has been trying to figure out how to hang the sea sparrow under Aki's belly, or on top of it?
But Sea Sparrow's radar system is completely incompatible with Aki's own system, and they can't even connect to each other.
She has a complete set of instructions, but unfortunately I can't understand them.
So I came up with the idea of going back to college to learn some skills while I was still young.
"Don't you like botany? We don't need a diploma to study botany directly. Knowledge is the most important." Harry encouraged.
"I'm afraid I don't understand..." Ivy was really moved.
She is two years older than Harry. If she had not been homeless, she would be in her second year of high school and would be preparing for the SAT exam in the second half of the year.
"Anyway, I'm just auditing, there's no exam pressure. If you understand, you'll make money. If you don't, just read more." Harry saw that she was tempted and couldn't help laughing.
"Ding ding, ding, ding -" Suddenly, the mobile phone in her trouser pocket rang.
Seeing the completely unfamiliar caller ID, Harley was stunned for a while.
"Hello? I'm Harley Quinn, who are you?"
"Sister Harley, I am Columbus Taylor, police officer number PC06888, a patrol officer who just joined this year." An excited young man's voice came from over there.
"Oh, Columbus, what do you want from me? Where did you get my mobile phone number?" Harley asked.
"My boss is Clayton Thompson. He was originally from Nicola, but now he belongs to Sister Hallie. Don't you remember?"
"It turns out that Thompson's people are one of our own." Harley smiled and her tone became softer.
The city's police department, city court, and prosecutor's office are Falcone's base, and outsiders, including Maroney, can't interfere.
Just like Fish once wanted to master Gordon's dirty information, Harley is naturally qualified to control a group of middle and low-level police officers.
In fact, she did not deliberately try to win over the few GCPD boys. They were like seagulls chasing sardine fishing boats, actively approaching Sister Harley.
"I'm happy to work for Sister Harley!"
Through the microphone, you can hear Columbus's voice trembling with excitement.
Then, he couldn't wait to confess: "Sister Harley, you haven't checked your email recently, have you? Two days ago, I completed the GCPD tradition under the leadership of Boss Thompson, and the video has been sent to you."
There was no anxiety or struggle in his voice, but there was obvious pride.
The smile on Harry's face faded and she said indifferently: "I've been a little busy lately and haven't opened my email. If you have any news in the future or need any help, you can contact old Gibbs."
The words were very polite, but the tone was cold and distant.
If Columbus can accept the petition, he must not be stupid. He immediately got into the topic and said quickly: "Sister Harley, I understand the rules and will not disturb you casually.
But this time the matter is too big, Boss Jimmy is dead, and I am at the Rose Hotel on Seventh Avenue right now."
Harry frowned, "Jimmy Maldini? (Prince)"
"Yes, that's him. Besides him, there are two bodyguards. The scene was beaten to pieces by bullets, it was a MAC10 submachine gun." Columbus said.
"Has there been surveillance to identify the murderer?"
Harry secretly lamented the troubled times and constant accidents.
"There is surveillance and two gunmen, but the murderer's methods of committing crimes are sophisticated and concise, and he is also wearing the same bulletproof mask as yours..."
Having said this, he lowered his voice and said quickly: "BOSS, I was the first to arrive at the scene. I have already used 150 US dollars to quietly buy the ownership of the video from the manager. Do you think it is the usual 'it breaks down when it is used', or is it
How to deal with it?”
Harry said with a dark face: "Don't move, leave it to the crime team."
"Oh." Columbus's voice was obviously lost.
If Sister Hallie didn't do it, the video would be useless. He lost $150.
"You did a good job this time, I will remember it." Harley said.
"Thank you Sister Harley for the compliment, I will continue to work hard!" Columbus came to life again.
After ending her communication with Columbus, Harley immediately called her old godfather.
The old man was silent for a long time, and then said "I understand" in a complicated tone.
Gone.
Hallie held her cell phone and sat in front of the dinner plate in a daze for a while.
Ivy watched quietly from the side without saying a word.
"Deng, Deng, Deng..." The footsteps outside the door came from far to near, and the pace was very fast, followed by Old Gibbs' breathless shouting: "Sister Harley, something big happened.
Boss Jimmy has been killed!"
"Don't scream, I already know." Harley frowned and called again.
"Hey, I'm Harley, Boss Saviano, something happened to Boss Jimmy...Oh, Fish came to you and asked you to support her as the boss..." The look on Harley's face
The solemnity gradually turned into doubt.
Saviano is forty-two years old this year, full of energy and motivation. His father conquered the world together with Camai Lao, and was even adopted as his godson by Camai Lao (ps). He is the second-largest figure among Italians after Jimmy.
.
Fish invited him for a drink yesterday. During the dinner, he made it clear that he wanted to be the boss and asked him to support him.
Saviano laughed at her for being a woman: women can never convince them, and declared that Jimmy was their recognized heir to Carmel.
And then tonight Jimmy died.
His death was a bit... not unjust, but cowardly.
"Did Fish do it?" Old Gibbs was listening, with a very surprised expression on his face, "Why did she dare to do this?"
Harley had a strange expression, "Saviano seems to be the same as me, neither sad nor angry, let alone revenge."
Even the old godfather was thinking deeply. He was just hesitating and had no idea of taking action against Fish immediately.
"This..." Old Gibbs was stunned and said, "If you think about it carefully, he has no reason to be sad.
Even if Fish takes over, his status will not change. If Fish fails, he will have a great chance."
"Well, now I understand a little bit why old Kamai helped me to ascend to the throne." Harley sighed with a complicated expression.
The old Kamai clearly said that Gordon's incident was a test for her.
So what is he testing?
Test which one she values more, fame, fortune or emotion.
Harley chose Gordon, even though he turned ruthless just the day before and put her in jail.
She didn't quite understand before that a man in his 70s and a gangster could talk about loyalty without talking about interests?
Now seeing the intrigues and indifference among family members, Harry wanted to boast: Old Carmel, you did not invest in the wrong person. Compared with these beasts, at least I am still a human being.
But then again, if the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, old Kamai himself is by no means a good bird.
"BOSS, you're not going to choose a side?" Hearing Harley's lament, Old Gibbs frowned and said, "I think you should at least find an ally, for example, Boss Sass."
"Saas and I don't need to form an alliance. As long as old Kamai is in power, we will be allies."
After a pause, Harley turned to Ivy and said, "You heard our conversation, find the kitten and ask her to be more honest recently.
Stop fooling around with Fish's stolen goods dealer, if she wants, she can come and stay here for a few days."
After Ivy and Old Gibbs left, Harley called Laurie again.
"You come to me for such a trivial matter?" Laurie was very impatient.
"Sister, this is really not a trivial matter. The Falcone family is in turmoil, and Maroni will never stand by and watch. If the two families fight within each other and conflict, Gotham will be in chaos."
In an instant, Hallie inexplicably thought of several Hong Kong undercover movies: The boss took the initiative to contact the undercover, and said in an anxious tone as if the sky was about to fall - your club has been unstable recently, and the bosses are very concerned. I have been so busy that I haven't slept for three days. You
You must keep an eye on it and notify me immediately if there is any trouble.
In Laurie's case, this was too minor.
"Sigh, I'm too busy with all the major national affairs..." Laurie sighed tiredly: "Does Gotham have a black state? Does it conflict with the black states? Aren't they all the same chaos?
Now, no matter how chaotic it is, all the bastards will die anyway."
"Can you at least give me a charter?" Harley said helplessly.
"What regulations do you want? As long as you don't kill innocent people, you can do whatever you want." Laurie said absently.
"Forget it, I don't care, I have to attend the wizard group meeting later!"
...
Four hours later, at half past midnight.
Just outside Jersey City, on the Outer Ring Road.
"Boom boom boom——"
The black Yamaha four-cylinder heavy-duty motorcycle roared like a beast, and the exhaust pipe at the rear almost spurted out a faint red flame, like a fired bullet, leaving a roar and afterimage on the road.
"Damn it, what kind of young apprentice is this, so arrogant?"
On the top of the bell tower of St. Jacob's Cathedral, the black-robed shaman looked at the locomotive shooting straight at him like arrows, and couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
"I'm Diana the Wonderful Witch, please open the door quickly!"
Approaching the steel gate of the church, the locomotive spun in circles and slowed down, its wheels rubbing against the cement floor and emitting a faint smell of burnt smoke.
"The magical witch? She has a very famous name. Who is she?" the shaman asked with a frown.
"Quack quack..." The messenger bird flapped its wings and landed on the wizard's shoulder, "It should be Gotham's new mage Harley Quinn."
