Chapter 250 The Penguin

Only good people need to reason when they do things, bad people don't.

Roger never thought of himself as a good person, and he had no interest in being a good person recognized by the public.

Of course, he is not interested in being those bad guys who hate gods and ghosts.

He just wants to be a guy who does what he wants.

"How can you do that?"

Dick looked at Roger in disbelief, completely unable to understand what Roger was doing now.

"What's wrong with that?"

"To deal with bad guys, you must deal with them in their own way, otherwise, you will always be played to death by them."

Roger said indifferently.

Of course he knew that it was difficult for Dick, who had a traditional concept of justice, to accept his own concept, but he didn't expect Dick to understand it.

Under Dick's shocked gaze, Roger came to the wine cabinet in front of the office, picked out a bottle of whiskey that was not bad, picked up two glasses, and sat down on the sofa.

After getting a drink for himself and Selina, he leaned back in the chair with a relaxed expression on his face.

Seeing his current appearance, Dick couldn't help frowning.

Roger's approach can be said to have completely subverted his philosophy.

He never thought of using Roger's way of threatening the murderer's family to achieve his goal.

After looking at Roger for a few seconds, Dick sat opposite Roger and said in a serious tone: "If he really doesn't come, are you really going to kill the entire Copperpot family?"

"Yes! I've always kept my promises!"

Roger replied directly.

"Then what's the difference between you and them?"

Dick's tone became a little dissatisfied.

"Strictly speaking, there is still a difference!"

"The difference is that I am stronger than them. If they are disobedient, I can kill them if I want to."

"Even if they wanted to resist or take revenge on me, they couldn't."

"The gap in strength is the biggest difference between me and them."

Roger said with a serious face, he didn't think there was any problem with his current approach.

However, Dick could not share his conception at all.

Although Dick also wanted to put all the penguins in prison and make them pay for the crimes they committed, he never considered Roger's method of fighting evil with evil.

how to say?

People trained by Bruce have more or less strange creeds.

Bruce himself has a creed of not killing people and not using guns, and Dick also has his creed.

For example, to punish these criminals in a fair and just manner.

If it was in a normal city, such as a metropolis not far from the next door, there would be nothing wrong with Dick's creed, and it was completely in line with the mainstream concepts and laws of society.

The thing is, Gotham isn't a normal city.

In the DC world, Gotham is a veritable city of sin.

Pursuing fair and just legal judgments in this kind of city is not as good as hoping that these criminals will suddenly turn their backs and believe in God one day.

At least it's more likely to happen.

Serious criminal activity is just the crux of Gotham's surface.

Gotham's real problems were buried as soon as the city was established.

Unless there is a campaign to subvert the entire city, Gotham will never get better.

If it doesn't get better now, it won't get better in the future.

After hearing Roger's answer, Dick didn't speak anymore, and the whole person fell silent.

…………

While the three of Roger were sitting in the Penguin's office waiting for him to appear, the Penguin himself sat in the study of the private manor with a solemn expression.

He has already received a message from the security department of the building, knowing that Roger is in his office now, and he has threatened him not to show up for half an hour, so as to completely destroy the Copperpot Building and the entire Copperpot family.

The Penguin didn't particularly care about Roger's plan to destroy the Copperpot Mansion and hang the Copperpot family on the street lamp.

Although he is the leader of the Copperpot family, he doesn't have much affection for this family.

He is indeed a member of the Copperpot family, but he can become the head of the family now, which has nothing to do with his origin.

It can even be said that his status as a member of the Copperpot family even made his first half of life a bit bad.

If it weren't for his unwillingness to spend his whole life in humiliation and rejection by others, he worked hard and strengthened himself step by step, he would still be a Cobblepot boy who was ridiculed by others.

Of course, in Gotham now, there are no people who dare to ridicule him because of his body shape.

In other words, it no longer exists on the surface.

Those who dared to laugh at him were fed to dogs and penguins by him.

The current him, on the surface, is the leader of the Copperpot family, controlling all the rights of the Copperpot family.

Behind the scenes, he is the leader of a gang known in Gotham's underground world.

Although he has never dealt with Roger, he is no stranger to Roger.

To be precise, after Roger blatantly extorted [-] million dollars from Carmine, the gang leaders in Gotham completely paid attention to Roger.

The reason is simple, Roger even dared to blackmail a godfather like Carmine, so of course they are not as good as Carmine.

Fortunately, Roger settled down completely after blackmailing Carmine.

Aside from hooking up with the Joker's girlfriend, Harley Quinn, he hasn't done anything weird.

Penguin also thought that Roger should have settled down, but he didn't expect that Roger would actually make up his mind.

After sitting in the study for a few minutes without saying a word, Penguin finally made a decision.

"Arrange a helicopter, I'm going to the company."

The Penguin picked up the phone on the desk and gave instructions to the butler of the manor.

Five or six minutes have passed since he received the message.

Roger only gave him half an hour in total. In order to avoid being late, he could only choose to take a helicopter to go there.

Of course, he can also ignore Roger's threat and pass slowly, or directly refuse to go.

But his gut tells him it's best not to.

Two or three minutes later, the helicopter was ready.

Without any hesitation, Penguin picked up the umbrella he was carrying and left the study.

After ten minutes.

Copperpot Building, Chairman's Office.

Penguin was not late and arrived at the office within 10 minutes.

However, as soon as he entered the office, he saw an incomprehensible scene.

Roger and Selina sat on the sofa, turned on the TV in the office, and watched the live football match.

Opposite them, Ye Yi sat silent.

Unlike Roger and Roger who had a table full of beer and snacks in front of them, Ye Yi's expression was extremely solemn now.

Seeing the penguin coming in, Roger had no intention of getting up, turned to the penguin and said, "You came quickly, sit down."

After speaking, Roger pointed to the empty sofa opposite.

Looking at Roger who seemed to be in his own home, Penguin frowned slightly.

However, he didn't say anything, and went straight to the location Roger had just pointed out, sat down, and placed the black umbrella he was holding next to the sofa.

"This intra-city derby is over in more than ten minutes. It is currently one to one. Manchester United is at home. What do you think the final result will be?"

While speaking, Roger picked up an unopened bottle of frozen beer from the table and tossed it to Penguin.

After taking the beer thrown by Roger, the penguin's face became more puzzled.

This is his office, and he knows exactly what wine is in his wine cabinet.

This kind of cheap frozen beer is definitely not in his office.

Feeling the cold feel from the beer bottle, he can be sure that the can of beer has just been taken out not long ago.

Although the Copperpot Building is in the center of Gotham, Penguin can be 100% sure that the can of beer and the snacks on the table were not bought from a convenience store near the building.

It is impossible for Roger and others to do such boring things, and it is impossible for his subordinates to do these boring things for Roger.

As for bringing it with him, Penguin didn't even think about it.

However, he never thought that these things were really brought by Roger.

The green space in his body is now similar to a department store.

Not to mention just beer and potato chips, even if it is a Gatling machine gun, Roger can take out two or three at any time.

"You want to see me, here I come!"

"Speak directly if you have anything to say, without beating around the bush."

The Penguin put down the beer in his hand, took off the black top hat he was wearing, and put the top hat on the table.

"It was indeed me who called you over, but it wasn't me who wanted to talk to you."

"Let me introduce you. This is Ye Yi. He wants to ask you some questions."

Roger said casually, his eyes never leaving the TV.

"I know he is Ye Yi, tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"

As a tyrant in Gotham, Penguin certainly knows Nightwing.

He even knew that Nightwing was Batman's former Robin.

Of course, why Robin left Batman and went it alone under the pseudonym Nightwing, he didn't know.

But that doesn't matter either.

Whether it's Batman, Nightwing, or Robin, he doesn't like anyone.

He wouldn't even mind killing Batman and Nightwing himself if he didn't have the chance.

Dick first glanced at Roger, and then said to Penguin: "You arranged for the robbery of the gangster bank, and several of the shareholders of that bank are your allies. What are you going to do? "

"Also, you once had a subordinate called Old Negan. I want to know where he went."

Without hesitation, Dick asked all the things he wanted to know.

Roger frowned slightly after hearing Dick's question about Penguin.

What the hell has this guy been through before?
In other words, Dick in this world is a complete newcomer, without any experience in dealing with the three religions.

Not only Roger, but even Penguin couldn't help being stunned when he heard Dick's question.

Although Roger and Dick looked about the same age, at most there was a difference of one or two years.

But the two of them feel completely different to Penguin.

Roger is as sophisticated as if he grew up in the underground world since he was a child. In order to achieve his goal, he hits the vital point directly and does not give the other party the slightest possibility of rejection.

But Dick is just the opposite, immature like a fledgling who has just come into contact with the underground world, and his innocence is a bit unbelievable.

Two seemingly incompatible people now appear in his office at the same time, which has to make Penguin have some associations.

"I didn't arrange people to do that thing. Their shareholders are my friends. I don't have to do it. And for me, I don't care about the money."

"As for the old Negan you mentioned, I have a lot of subordinates, and I don't have any impression for the time being."

Penguin decisively threw the question back to Dick.

After hearing Penguin's answer, Dick had a displeased expression on his face.

He thought that Penguin would obediently tell him everything, after all, Penguin had come to the office in person.

But the result was that Penguin had no intention of cooperating with him at all.

If Roger hadn't been in the office all this time, Dick would have wondered if Roger had ordered Penguin to answer like this on purpose.

"You arranged the robbery. It's useless for you to deny it. You know who Old Negan is."

"I don't have a lot of patience, so you'd better answer me in full."

Dick said sullenly.

Seeing Dick's naked threat, the Penguin let out a disdainful laugh.

Then, staring into Dick's eyes, he said slowly, "Boy, if I don't tell you, what are you going to do? Kill me?"

The current appearance of Penguin has already made it clear that he will not cooperate obediently.

If Dick had had any experience at all, he would have known that now was the time to show force.

Once he hesitated at this time, or hesitated for a few seconds, the other party would be able to fully grasp his mind, thus firmly controlling the initiative.

Dick had fought quite a few criminals, but in this respect, he was no different from a primary school student.

Without any surprise, Dick simply didn't realize it and let this precious opportunity pass away.

Just when Dick was about to continue to speak harshly to Penguin, Roger raised his right hand and interrupted Dick.

"It seems that if you don't teach it from beginning to end, you won't be able to learn at all."

Roger first said to Dick, then turned his head to look at Penguin, and said slowly: "Everyone is not a newcomer, and I won't talk nonsense with you."

"Two questions, why did you arrange for Hughes to rob the gangster's bank, and where is old Negan?"

Roger's tone was calm, as if he was asking Penguin what he planned to eat tomorrow morning.

But after hearing his words, Penguin had a completely different feeling.

Dick gave him the feeling that he was bluffing and trying to get information from him.

But the feeling Roger gave him was a feeling that you decide whether you want to answer or not.

Although there was no threat in Roger's words, his tone was unusually calm.

But the penguin unconsciously thought of various pictures after he refused.
