American comics: Play as Kizaru and get off work in three seconds

I came here today not to cause trouble, but to..."

Before he could finish his words, Connor interrupted him: “For what?
To curry favor with Maroni?

Or is it for some other ulterior purpose?"

When the Penguin heard this, he felt a surge of anger in his heart.

But he remained calm and restrained, and continued, "Mr. Connor, you and I are not ordinary people, and we should understand one thing: in this world where the strong prey on the weak, only the strong can survive.

And I, Penguin, have never been content with mediocrity."

Connor sneered: "Huh, that sounds nice.

Then tell me, how do you prove that you are a strong person? "

The Penguin smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes: "Mr. Connor, you will see it soon."

At this time, Butch, who was standing aside, couldn't help but interrupt and said, "You two, are you done yet?

This is our territory, and it is not your turn to decide whether to fight or kill us."

Hearing this, Connor turned to look at Butch, his eyes revealing a hint of disdain: "Butch, you are just a small character, you are not qualified to butt in here?"

Butch was furious when he heard this, but because of the presence of Penguin and Maroni, he didn't dare to act rashly.

He snorted coldly: “Humph, Connor, don’t be so arrogant.

If you dare to cause trouble here today, I, Butch, will be the first to disagree."

Connor smiled slightly, seemingly not taking Butch's threat seriously.

He turned to look at Penguin Man: "Penguin Man, your men don't seem to be very sensible."

The Penguin waved his hand, signaling Butch to step back.

It would not be wise to confront Connor head-on at this time.

He slowly said, “Mr. Connor, let’s put aside the grudge between you and me today.

I am here to discuss an important matter with Mr. Maroni."

Hearing this, Maroni raised his eyebrows and said, “Oh?

What's the matter? "

The Penguin glanced at Connor, seemingly seeking advice.

Connor turned his head away nonchalantly, not paying any attention to the conversation.

Seeing this, the Penguin Man sneered in his heart.

He slowly said, “Mr. Maloney, you and I are both overlords of Gotham City, but we have always been developing in our respective territories and have never had any real cooperation.

But today, I want to change all that.”

When Maroni heard this, his heart was slightly moved.

What the Penguin said was not groundless; there must be some deeper meaning behind it.

He smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Penguin, what do you think?"

The Penguin walked up to Maroni and whispered something.

Maroni's expression changed slightly, but then he regained his composure.

He glanced at Connor, as if weighing the pros and cons.

Connor couldn't help but curse in his heart when he saw this.

I am already at a disadvantage at the moment and must find a breakthrough as soon as possible.

He sneered: "Penguin, your plan sounds good, but are you sure Maroni will believe you?"

The Penguin smiled and said, “Mr. Connor, you don’t need to worry about this problem.

The cooperation between Mr. Maroni and I will naturally lead to a tacit understanding between us.”

Connor's face became even gloomier when he heard this.

He was powerless to change the situation at this point and could only watch Penguin and Maroni reach some kind of agreement.

At this time, Qin Yang on the side suddenly said: "Mr. Penguin, I always feel that you are more suitable for brainwashing rather than being a killer.

Your eloquence and intelligence are truly extraordinary."

Penguin Man smiled when he heard this and said, "Mr. Qin Yang, thank you for the compliment.

But in this world, eloquence and wisdom are often more important than weapons."

Butch was confused and couldn't help but interrupt again: "Hey, what are you talking about?
Why can’t I understand a word you say?”

Connor snorted coldly: “Humph, it’s normal that you don’t understand.

Because you are just a thug and will never be able to get on the stage. "Butch was furious when he heard this, but he didn't dare to get angry because of the presence of Penguin and Maroni.

He secretly swore in his heart that he would teach Connor a lesson the next day.

The Penguin no longer cared about the quarrel at this time.

He turned to Maroni and said, "Mr. Maroni, what do you think of my plan?"

Maroni smiled and said, “Mr. Penguin, your plan sounds very attractive.

But I want to remind you that there is no absolute trust in this world.

The cooperation between you and me must be based on mutual respect.”

Penguin nodded: "This is natural.

I, Penguin, always keep my word, you can rest assured."

Maroni was silent for a moment, then nodded: “Okay, then follow your plan.

But I want to remind you that if you dare to play any tricks, don't blame me for being rude."

The Penguin smiled and said, "This is natural.

Then, we have it settled.”

At this moment, Connor suddenly said: "Wait!"

Penguin, you haven't answered my question yet.

Why did you kill Maroni?"

The Penguin turned to look at Connor, his eyes revealing a hint of disdain: "Mr. Connor, you have too many questions.

But I can tell you that I never thought of killing Maroni.

What happened today was just a misunderstanding."

Connor's face became even gloomier when he heard this.

He was powerless to change the situation at this point and could only watch Penguin and Maroni reach some kind of agreement.

The Penguin no longer paid any attention to him.

He turned to Butch and said, "Mr. Butch, do you know which restaurant Mr. Maroni likes to go to most?"

Butch was stunned when he heard this, then nodded: “I know.

His favorite place to go is the Emperor's Restaurant, and whenever something big happens, he celebrates there."

Penguin smiled and said, “Very good.

Do you know that Tommy Burns is coming out of prison today and Mr. Maloney will definitely go there to greet him?"

Butch was stunned again when he heard this, then nodded: “Indeed.

Tommy is Mr. Maloney's good brother, and Mr. Maloney will certainly not miss the day when Tommy is released from prison."

Penguin nodded with satisfaction: "Very good.

Then you go back and prepare now, we will act tonight."

Butch heard this, although he was a little confused, he nodded: "Yes, boss."

At this time, Connor suddenly said: "Penguin, you seem to have forgotten one thing."

Penguin turned to look at him, his eyes a little puzzled: "What's the matter?"

Connor smiled slightly: “You seem to have forgotten that I’m still here.

Do you think you can really hide this from the world?"

Hearing this, Penguin showed a mysterious smile on his face: "Mr. Connor, you don't have to worry.

Because I have prepared a special gift for you."

As he spoke, he took an antique jar from a subordinate beside him and handed it to Maroni: “Mr. Maroni, this is a gift specially prepared for you by Mr. Falcone to express his respect for you.

It’s also a great celebratory gift for you and Tommy Burns.”

Maroni took the antique jar, examined it carefully, and smiled with satisfaction: "Mr. Penguin, you are thoughtful."

The Penguin smiled and said, "That's what I should do.

Well, then, let's say goodbye.

We'll see you tomorrow at the Emperor's Restaurant."

Having said that, he turned around and was about to leave. (End of this chapter)
