Chapter 295 The earth will not stop spinning just because someone is missing
"Well...it tastes as good as ever."
Falcone took a sip of the champagne in the glass, exhaled the breath of wine and praised at the same time.
"Sir, there may be danger here, please..."
"It goes without saying."
Falcone interrupted his butler's words and gently shook the champagne in the glass. The orange-yellow champagne reflected the dim light under the light.
"I have guests coming, please go out first."
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment by these words, but still didn't say anything. He just put one hand on his chest and left the room respectfully, closing the door behind him.
As the butler left, the room fell into silence again. After waiting for a moment, Falcone sighed.
"Why do I have to stand in the shadows? I'm obviously just an old man who poses no threat."
"You are not a harmless old man, Falcone."
Batman emerged from the shadows, but he did not completely step into the light, but hid half of his body in the shadows.
"Why did the police officer named Xia Yu come to deal with you, Falcone?"
Looking at Falcone, who was already showing his age, Batman asked in a low voice. He had received the news when Xia Yu had just invaded Falcone's mansion.
But this news made him very confused, because according to his investigation, there was no conflict between Xia Yu and Falcone.
Black Mask can also be said to be due to debt, but Falcone...unless that Xia Yu hates Wu Jiwu, because his hatred for gangs led him to want to directly eradicate all gangs in Gotham after gaining extraordinary powers.
"So his name is Xia Yu?" Falcone listened to the approaching gunshots and shook his head, "I don't know him, not even once."
Before Batman appeared, Gotham City was still a city ruled by gangs, among which Falcone was one of the most powerful gang leaders, nicknamed "The Roman" and known for his ruthlessness and expansionism.
The underworld empire he runs is called the "Roman Empire", and the underworld emperor Falcone does control the entire Gotham City. He works closely with the Gotham City Mayor, City Council and Police Chief Killian B.
Rob colluded with each other.
Therefore, he escaped from Gotham City's legal sanctions time and time again until Batman appeared. In the first year of Batman's appearance, Batman made Falcone his first target.
During a certain fight, Batman even broke into Falcone's private bedroom and beat him up, then stripped him down to a pair of underwear and tied him up, and drove his Rolls-Royce into the house when he left.
Into the river.
Falcone naturally couldn't bear this kind of humiliation, but no one in his black empire could solve Batman, and even no trace of Batman could be found.
It was at this time that Detective James Gordon came to Gotham to take up his post. After experiencing various conspiracies and conspiracies, Gordon successfully developed a friendship with Batman and joined forces to combat crime in Gotham.
Police Chief Rob, who originally collaborated with Falcone, was dismissed for various reasons, and Gordon successfully became the new Police Chief.
Without the cooperation of the police chief, coupled with Batman's attack, Falcone's gang power began to decline as expected, but even so, he is still one of the most powerful gangs, but he can no longer be as powerful as before.
That covers the sky with one hand.
This is also the reason why Falcone said that in the past, he didn't know Xia Yu, and now he doesn't know even more.
Batman was not surprised by Falcone's answer. After all, he hadn't even investigated it, and the question just now was just a casual question.
The room fell into silence again, and the sound of gunshots and footsteps were getting closer and closer.
Facing the coming danger, Falcone is not worried because Batman will not let him die.
Batman never misses, this is the conclusion he has come to after three years of fighting with Batman.
After controlling Gotham for more than 20 years, this is the first time he feels so reassured by an outsider, for no other reason than because he is Batman.
After a few minutes, the sound of gunfire disappeared, leaving only the deliberate sound of footsteps.
After a few seconds, the footsteps stopped at the door.
Both Falcone and Batman were holding their breath at this moment, waiting for the door to be pushed open.
"boom--!"
“pleasant surprise!”
There was a gunshot and the door to the room exploded, with wood chips flying everywhere. Xia Yu made a hug with his hands and shouted loudly.
Seeing this young figure, Falcone raised the wine glass in his hand to his mouth, drank the liquid in the glass in one breath, then put down the glass and extended his hand to Xia Yu.
"Welcome, new guest."
How to put it this way, if you don't think about Falcone's identity, Falcone looks like an elegant old gentleman at the moment.
But that's right, after all, Falcone's image is based on Vito Corleone in the "Godfather" series of movies, an elegant old man with a cat in his arms and flowers on his chest.
But looking at Falcone's face that was full of wrinkles but without wounds, Xia Yu raised his eyebrows. Weren't there three wounds scratched by Catwoman?
Did Catwoman not appear in this world? Or has Catwoman’s origin changed again?
In the DC setting, Falcone is often portrayed as Batman's rival during his rookie period, and has three long scars on his right cheek left behind after being scratched by Catwoman.
This shows that Catwoman appeared in the early days of Batman, and in some stories, Catwoman and Falcone still have a father-daughter relationship.
However, this world is already quite chaotic, so it is not surprising that Catwoman was not born. After all, Maroni, who should have been eliminated by Falcone long ago, is still there.
If the normal timeline were followed, Maroni would have been secretly colluded with Falcone and the mayor of Gotham and eliminated him. The mayor of Gotham was responsible for the settlement, and the remaining underworld business was absorbed by Falcone.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Xia Yu looked at Falcone's unnerved expression and slowly walked toward him with the gun in his hands.
"Welcome, how welcome? I'm here to solve your problem. It's a bit dignified to die calmly."
"Decent?" Falcone heard this and shook his head with a smile, "No one can die calmly, and I am no exception. I am decent because I know that I will not die today."
"Ah!"
Xia Yu sneered, the ebony pointed at Falcone, and the white ivory pointed at the shadow in the corner.
"Who gave you the courage? Liang Jing... cough, Batman?"
Falcone smiled silently and did not answer, and Batman also threw a batarang at the ebony wood in Xia Yu's hand.
But Xia Yu just flicked the muzzle of his gun and knocked away the batarang that was coming towards him.
Batman didn't expect to interrupt Xia Yu in this way. After throwing out the batarang, he ducked out of the shadows and stood in front of Falcone.
"You can't kill him."
Batman looked at Xia Yu who seemed to be fearless in front of him, and rarely explained the reason.
"If you kill him, Gotham will fall into chaos. At least, you can't kill him now."
"Ah, yes, yes."
Xia Yu gave Batman a roll of his eyes in his heart. Falcone's death was quite sudden in the comics, so isn't Gotham still fine?
Seeing that Xia Yu didn't listen at all, Batman frowned. Just when he was about to explain the stakes again, Xia Yu's expression straightened.
"You're right, but "Batman" is a new open-world detective comic about crime and darkness independently drawn by DC. The comic takes place in a fantasy city called "Gotham", where the chosen
People will be beaten by Batman until they become hemiplegic or paralyzed. You will play a mysterious character named "Criminal" and meet companions with different personalities and unique abilities in free crime, and work with them.
Bad things, gradually destroying the city of Gotham."
Batman: "?"
Although Xia Yu couldn't see Batman's expression, he could still imagine his confused expression at this moment.
"I mean……"
"boom--!"
Xia Yu suddenly flicked his wrist, and then with a bang, a blood hole appeared in the center of Falcone's head.
With the blood mist flying, Falcone, who still had a smile on his face, slumped down on the bench and became silent again.
Ignoring the chill emanating from Batman, Xia Yu blew into the muzzle of the gun.
"Don't take yourself too seriously. The earth will not stop spinning just because one person is missing."
"What on earth do you want to do, Xia Yu!"
Batman did not look back, but stared closely at Xia Yu. If the other party was for Gotham, then Falcone should not be killed. As expected, what was the motive?
"A little bit, guess it."
Xia Yu casually played two guns and put them on his waist, then walked to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of unknown brand of wine.
After imitating Yong Bo and flicking the glass at the seal with his finger, Xia Yu drank heavily.
"Hey, this tastes good."
"Try this, well, it tastes okay, but I don't like it."
"This... pfft, damn! It must be expired, why is it sour? The old man is dead and he still attacks me."
Batman just looked at Xia Yu who was holding a cabinet full of fine wine. When he saw that the other party really wouldn't answer him, he had no intention of keeping any more.
The most important thing now is to find a way to solve the chaos caused by Falcone's death.
"I hope you won't betray your identity."
After Batman finished speaking meaningfully, and just as he was about to leave with his grappling gun, Xia Yu suddenly spoke.
"The chaos and darkness in Gotham cannot be solved in a short while, but it can become more orderly. Anyway, I can tell you that I am harmless to Gotham, well, at least so far.
.”
After hearing these words, Batman left here without saying anything else.
After Batman left, Xia Yu continued to sip the fine wine collected by Falcone. Anyway, the old guy was gone, and it would be better to stay here to benefit others than to benefit him.
As for why he just explained to Batman, Xia Yu couldn't explain why. He couldn't just tell Batman to give up. It was impossible for Gotham to become a model city.
In order to explain everything in Gotham reasonably and continue to draw comics, DC editors frantically made countless patches.
One of the most dangerous patches is Barbatos, the master of the Dark Multiverse. It is said that Barbatos is watching Gotham, and even Gotham was established under the influence of Barbatos.
Although Xia Yu doesn't know if this is true, in "Dark Night: Metal", the Court of Owls is indeed related to Barbatos.
However, DC's stories are quite messy to begin with, and they are constantly restarted, so Xia Yu doesn't know which universe he is in.
"Well, sometimes it's not good to know too much. Sure enough, ignorance is also a blessing."
Xia Yu put away the unfinished wine and walked out the door in a swaggering manner.
Why are you thinking so much? Let's talk about the future in the future. At least now in Gotham, he is invincible, so it doesn't matter if he continues to wander.
Even if something happens to Lang, he can still escape to other worlds, so there is no need to be afraid.
Walking out of the door, there was a large group of people headed by Butler Falcone standing outside, waiting for Xia Yu with their heads lowered.
He didn't kill everyone frantically, because Batman was right to worry. If the gang leader was suddenly lost, Gotham would definitely fall into chaos.
So these people are still valuable. It's just a simple mental brainwashing, and these people have changed the masters they serve.
Although Gotham is a city of sin, there are actually not many criminals with superpowers. Most of them are people who commit crimes based on their IQ.
Not to mention the Riddler, Scarecrow and the Joker, Bane, a criminal who relies on brute force, has an IQ equal to Batman in his setting.
After letting this group of people sort out the mess left by Falcone's death, Xia Yu left here.
He didn't go to Maroni on the way, leaving that guy to Zhou Hao as an experience package for Zhou Hao to upgrade.
…
At the same time, Batman, who left, has returned to his Batcave.
"Master, you are back."
When Alfred saw Batman coming back, he immediately stepped forward to greet him.
Alfred, whose full name is Alfred Pennyworth, is the butler of the Wayne family and the old man who raised Bruce alone after the death of the Waynes.
Although he is a butler, in the heart of Batman, that is, Bruce, Alfred is already a family-like existence, and he is also the person he trusts the most.
In the comic "Injustice", Alfred became famous after beating Superman in a battle, and successfully got the nickname Butler Man.
In other comics, namely the comics "Beware of Batman" and "Earth One", Alfred is from MI6. He has been on the battlefield and is capable of both civil and military affairs. He can be called an omnipotent existence.
But he is such a person, but he is loyal to the Wayne family. Bruce has not gone astray after his parents died. This old man has played an important role, comparable to Superman's adoptive father Jonathan Kent.
Facing Alfred's greeting, Bruce asked while taking off his equipment.
"Afu, have you collected the materials I want?"
"All purchases have been completed. Sir, with all due respect, sir, do you really want to build that armor?"
"certainly."
Bruce's eyes flashed, and he thought of Xia Yu's incredible marksmanship. No, that can no longer be called marksmanship.
"By the way, how much of the magic information did you collect that I asked you to collect?"
"Well..." Alfred pondered for a moment and replied, "My informant found a man named Constantine. It is said that he is an exorcism detective."
