Maroney's gangster family is also located in the East Side of Gotham, where gangs are much more rampant than in the West Side near Gotham University.
To put it simply, it is because it is the least economically developed area in Gotham. Compared with the slums in the West Side, it is simply a paradise with simple folk customs.
The gangs there are very involved. Like the Shuigou Gang mentioned before, it is almost impossible for a small gang with only a hundred or ten people to control a nightclub.
The Maroney gang owns a restaurant, two bars, a dance hall and a strip club, making it almost the largest gang there.
The Maroney family and the Red Crow Gang have a long-standing feud. Their territories intersect, and fires often break out in a bar there. Both parties want to control this important traffic hub, but in the end no one succeeds.
That bar became the go-to zone for the entire East Side, and it was also the place where all kinds of news circulated the fastest.
Sal is able to gain a foothold in Gotham, especially in the East End, the most dangerous and chaotic area. He has some abilities.
The Red Crow Gang's theft of the production line could not be concealed from his eyes. In the basement of a bar controlled by the Maroney family, which was the closest to the Sanguang Zone, Maroney lit a cigar and said to his men: "I'm going to steal from our
My old friend, the police chief Victor, learned that the red-headed boy opposite seemed to want to make some noise."
His subordinate said: "Yes, they seem to have stolen many large machines from the south or southwest. I know from a boy who lost a bet that their boss seems to want to produce some kind of chemical. I heard that it can be controlled
other people."
Sal narrowed his eyes and said: "A few days ago, Victor and I had dinner, and he talked about a case. The murderer was a doctor of chemistry, and he seemed to be a very powerful professor at Gotham University. Will he have any relationship with this person?
Is it related?"
His subordinate said: "I have two bodyguards and informants beside the red-headed mistress. He has been having a hot fight with that mistress recently. I will take something out of her mouth."
Sal turned the lighter in his hand and said: "If they eat more piece of meat, we will eat less piece. But now it seems that they not only want to divide the meat, but also want to devour us in one bite, so let us see
Let’s see who is more powerful.”
Maroni's guess was very accurate. He got all the action plans of the Red Crow Gang without much effort. Although the leader of the Red Crow Gang was very smart, he was still relatively young, and Maroni got his pulse.
At the same time, Schiller also played an important role in this. He did one of the most critical things, which was to obtain the recipe for fear gas from the Red Crow Gang, and then inadvertently let Maroney's informant find it.
Maroney was able to get in touch with the police chief, which showed that he was much more experienced and well-connected than the leader of the Red Crow Gang. Soon, he found a reliable chemist to analyze this for him.
The formula, the conclusion is that this is a large-scale biochemical weapon with extremely powerful effects.
After reaching this conclusion, Maroni certainly cannot let the Red Crow Gang succeed, otherwise once they obtain this important weapon, the Maroni family will never be able to get ahead.
The first step is to resolutely not let the Red Crow Gang release Jonathan on bail through informants in the police station.
On another dark night, Gordon got off work as usual. His immediate boss, Lantalos, didn't like him and didn't give him any useful work. He was now almost a secretary in the police station, and he didn't even have to do field patrols.
It's no longer his turn.
So he left work early, and his boss walked a little ahead of him because he was going to a drinking party.
As soon as Gordon went out, he saw his boss walking around a corner, and then a fast car hit him. His boss was hit and flew more than ten meters away in front of the police station.
Gordon didn't care much. He rushed back to the police station to call for help, but before the ambulance arrived, Lantalos was no longer breathing.
He was originally a very cautious old policeman, but recently, the Red Crow Gang, eager to bail Jonathan out, gave him too many benefits, which made his greed out of control. He even wanted to marry the sister of the leader of the Red Crow Gang, so he went too far.
He was so anxious that he didn't even realize that he had been targeted by the enemies of the Red Crow Gang.
It all happened so fast. Before Gordon could react, he was pushed into the position of his boss.
Of course, this is also a good thing Maroney did. If you want to hinder your opponents, of course you have to choose the candidate they dislike the least. The contradiction between Gordon and Lantalos is too obvious. In the entire police station, almost all police officers have something to do with it.
After hearing this, Maroney naturally chose Gordon.
Of course, hindering his opponents is only the first step. Of course, Maroney also wants to produce this important weapon.
He was a little bolder than the Red Crow Gang. He directly bribed the manager of Wayne Chemical Plant and used a production line for producing nitric acid preparations to secretly produce this poison gas.
He didn't even want to move, and planned to produce directly in the Wayne Chemical Plant in a way that was unobtrusive.
But there is still the same problem. If you want to produce fear gas on a large scale, you need some larger-scale separators and other high-end equipment. Although Maroni is richer than the Red Crow Gang, he is still not sure whether he should do this.
Big investment.
So he still found the chemist and asked him to manually copy some fear gas. The person he found was much better than the Red Crow Gang. Although he couldn't restore the fear gas 100%, he could almost restore 80% of it, although he still couldn't.
Concentrated, but the effect is also very good.
Seeing that it was so effective, Maroney had the idea of investing a lot of money. After all, if you just spray someone with a watering can, you can make the opponent go crazy. Who else in the entire Eastern District will be his opponent? Once he wins,
In the entire Eastern District, the income of tens of millions of dollars is just a cloud.
So Maroney rushed to purchase a batch of needed equipment from other states, which cost him millions of dollars and a lot of favors, and hired a group of chemists with high salaries to work for him.
Such large-scale production naturally cannot be carried out at the Wayne Chemical Plant. There is no chemical plant on Maroney's territory, so he launched a firefight and killed more than thirty masters. From the Red Crow Gang,
The small chemical factory was seized from the site.
At this time, Bruce finally discovered that his family's chemical plant had been stolen, and he finally realized that the gangsters had begun to produce this poisonous gas.
At the same time, Gordon received a tip from an anonymous person, claiming that he saw a car with a license plate ending in 676 that often drove around the Wayne Chemical Plant.
Gordon and Bruce hit it off immediately, and the combination of Batman and police detectives returned. They quickly found the car and captured the tail of the Red Crow Gang.
Overnight, the Red Crow Gang was raided by Batman. Although they were much stronger than the Gully Gang, with hundreds of members, there were no powerful criminals among them, and they were just ordinary gang members. Batman
Fighting from the front and arresting from behind, Gordon arrested more than 200 people in the entire gang overnight.
The leader of the Red Crow Gang was almost furious. Although they stole the production line of Wayne Chemical Plant, they didn't even produce any fear gas. The production line and the chemical plant were robbed by the Maroni Gang.
When the angry leader of the Red Crow Gang was arrested, he testified against Sal Maroney, and Batman targeted the Maroney Gang again.
But Maroni was much more cunning and cautious than the leader of the Red Crow Gang. The entire chemical plant was heavily guarded and all members were in a state of high tension. Batman did not find a good opportunity for a while.
Maroney knew that he was being targeted, and he began to seek help from his own protective umbrella, the police chief Victor.
Victor first withdrew the case of the theft of Wayne Chemical Plant internally, intending to smooth it over. Then, under Maroni's instruction, he continued to interfere in Jonathan's trial, trying to help Jonathan get out of guilt so that he could go to horse racing.
Ronnie's chemical plant works for him.
As for Schiller, he added another fire to this tense situation of multi-party confrontation.
Schiller guided Police Chief Victor and obtained a bottle of fear gas concentrate developed by Jonathan from the evidence room. After Maroni obtained this concentrated liquid, he became more aware of the importance of Jonathan, so
Constantly putting pressure on Victor, asking him to bail Jonathan out as soon as possible.
Before Victor could make any move, a man came to him.
As Batman expected, this man was the president of Gotham University.
Although Victor is the police chief, he is not closely related to Gotham politics. Instead, he is the president of Gotham University and knows many jury members and state legislators.
He was bribed by the Red Crow Gang before and had a close relationship with the Red Crow Gang. This is something everyone knows. As a result, the Red Crow Gang has fallen and the president of Gotham University is in urgent need of a protective umbrella.
Without the protection of the big gangs in Gotham, you can hardly move forward.
The president of Gotham University naturally didn't mind switching to the Maroni Gang. When he learned that they were also planning to use fear gas, the president told Victor everything:
"...That girl was not cautious enough. She was bragging everywhere that she would be Bruce Wayne's date. I kidnapped her when she came to see me. If I could influence the heirs of the Wayne family, I would use his power.
It is certainly not difficult to exonerate Jonathan."
"With a woman?" Victor asked, "But Little Wayne is not stupid. Although he is nostalgic for flowers and fools around every day, how can he be willing to do things for us just as a date..."
"We don't need his willingness," the principal said.
"You want to kidnap Little Wayne? No, the risk is too great..." Victor said. "We may not be able to control him."
The entire Wayne family accounts for more than half of Gotham City's economy. If Bruce's plan fails, the retaliation they will face will be terrible.
The principal said: "In fact, I have already thought of a way. We kidnap Little Wayne, but we don't necessarily have to control him. We can also replace him..."
