Chapter 251 Charity Restaurant
In an instant, several images flashed through Penguin's mind.

The pictures are different, but the result is the same.

That is to end with his death.

This……

The penguin's brain was running wildly. After two or three seconds of silence, he slowly said to Roger: "Since you want to know, Mr. Stark, of course I won't hide it."

After finishing speaking, the Penguin paused for a moment, and then continued: "First of all, as to why I arranged for someone to rob the gangster's bank, it's very simple, Mr. Stark, you can regard this as a commercial competition. "

"You can assure you that this is just a small competition between me and several other gangs and families, and I have absolutely no intention of harming the public."

Penguin explained his actions in as kind words as possible.

"About this, I can understand, you continue!"

From the very beginning, Roger didn't feel that being robbed of a gangster bank was a big deal.

This kind of thing, not to mention Gotham, would happen even in a metropolis where Superman maintains justice.

To put it simply, this is no different from the territory grabbing between gangsters.

It's just that this kind of competition is a little more civilized than the traditional land grabbing.

"Thank you for your understanding."

"As for old Negan...he is indeed my subordinate."

"Mr. Stark, you took the initiative to ask about him, so I won't hide it from you."

"I found out that he was an informant to the police and had betrayed some of my information to the police. In this case, I can only deal with him according to the rules of the road."

When he said this, Penguin turned his head and glanced at Ye Yi.

Although he is now saying that Old Negan is a police informant, it is obvious that he knows that Old Negan is not just a police informant.

If old Negan hadn't betrayed the information, Nightwing wouldn't have been able to go to his warehouse last night.

Everyone knew this, so he didn't say it outright.

"He is your man. He betrayed the boss. It is normal for you to deal with him according to the rules of the Tao."

After listening to what Penguin said, Roger said calmly, not caring about the fact that Old Negan was dead at all.

He didn't know Old Negan in the first place, and if Ye Yi hadn't mentioned this person, he wouldn't even know who Old Negan was.

Besides, Old Negan was not his informant, and Penguin had nothing to do with him killing Old Negan.

If Ye Yi didn't want to know this, he wouldn't bother to ask this question.

Although Roger accepted Penguin's answer calmly, Nightwing couldn't sit still.

As soon as the Penguin finished speaking, Yeyi stood up and looked at the Penguin with an unfriendly expression, as if he was going to eat him alive.

The Penguin ignored Night Wing at all, and said to Roger, "Mr. Stark, I have answered all the questions you want to know truthfully."

"Then is it convenient for you to tell me now, do you want that bank?"

"If you're interested in that gangster bank, just say one word, and I'll quit immediately, and I will never compete with you!"

Penguin asked Roger neither humble nor overbearing.

Judging from Roger's previous performance, he felt that Roger should have some interest in that gangster bank.

Otherwise, he would not specifically intervene in this matter.

"Don't worry, I have no interest in that bank."

"The reason why he came to you today is because he wanted to find you."

After speaking, Roger pointed to Nightwing who was standing aside.

Although he doesn't like Penguin very much, he has to say that Penguin has given him enough face now.

As long as there is no conflict of interest, he doesn't mind giving Penguin some face.

"So that's it! Then I don't know what is the relationship between Mr. Stark and this Mr. Nightwing?"

Penguin continued to ask.

"It doesn't matter, but during this week, I am his bodyguard and need to protect his safety, do you understand what I mean?"

Roger smiled and looked at Penguin.

"Understood, of course!"

"However, Mr. Stark, you should be able to understand one thing, that is, if the beast is injured, it will instinctively launch a counterattack."

"If something unpleasant happens at that time, I hope you can forgive me, Mr. Stark."

Penguin said it very euphemistically, but his meaning was very clear.

That is, if Ye Yi continued to trouble him, especially when he was threatened, he would not sit still.

Of course, if Ye Yi didn't come to trouble him, he would also give Roger a face and not trouble Ye Yi.

"I'm not the kind of unreasonable person, so you don't have to worry too much about it."

Roger liked Penguin's attitude now.

Say what you have to do, draw a good boundary between each other, and then everyone will do things according to the rules.

Clear and clear, clear and clear, good for everyone.

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Stark first."

The Penguin did not expect that Roger, who was extremely domineering, would be so talkative now.

He had already planned to lose a little something, but now it seems that Roger is still a very reasonable person, not the kind of guy who only bullies others with strength.

As a gang leader who uses his brains more than his hands, Penguin also likes dealing with people like Roger.

After knowing the information he wanted from the penguin population, Roger did not leave Copperpot Building immediately, but watched the ball game in the penguin man's office.

Then, he left with Ye Yi and Selina contentedly.

After coming to the alley where the motorcycle was parked, Ye Yi said again: "You don't have to follow me anymore, I won't trouble anyone else in the next few days."

After finishing speaking, Ye Yi started the motorcycle directly, twisted the accelerator, and quickly disappeared at the end of the street.

When Night Wing left, Selina said to Roger: "Is it not good for you to do this, what you said to Penguin made him treat him like a child."

"He's just a kid."

"Don't look at his age, but his mind is not mature at all."

"It's also a good thing for him to explain these things to Penguin."

"Otherwise, maybe this guy will risk his life at some point."

Of course Roger knew how his conversations with Penguin would hurt Nightwing, but he didn't care about it at all.

He just promised to protect Ye Yi for a week, as long as Ye Yi didn't die within this week, his mission would be considered complete.

As for what will happen in the future, it has nothing to do with him.

"I found that sometimes I really can't see what kind of person you are."

"Let's say you are a good person, but you are not."

"Let's say you're a bad guy, but sometimes you're nice."

Selina sighed, shaking her head.

"Whether it's good or bad, it doesn't matter."

While speaking, Roger hugged Selina's waist of the water snake, and used the ability of the fruit of the door.

Not long after, he took Selina back home.

The matter of Ye Yi has come to an end for the time being. As long as Ye Yi still has the most basic thinking ability, he will be his own policeman this week, instead of being a superhero Ye Yi.

Although this is a bit different from what Bruce asked for, Roger has protected Nightwing's safety anyway.

Time flies by.

Soon, a week passed.

During this week, Roger and Selina lived together like a couple.

Dick was very obedient this week, he didn't appear in Gotham as Nightwing again, let alone investigate the Penguin.

Bruce finally found that Jessica a few days ago, let Hughes meet Jessica, and got back the information that Hughes stole.

With the Hughes episode resolved, Bruce finally resumed his investigation of the Court of Owls.

Roger didn't bother Bruce's investigation, and even offered to provide Bruce with some information.

For example, Silent Thomas Elliott is likely to be a member of the Court of Owls.

In addition, he also told Bruce that he met the three claws in Thomas Elliott's manor.

Bruce didn't doubt his childhood friend at first.

However, after being reminded by Roger, he investigated Thomas a little and confirmed Roger's statement.

In addition to Thomas, Bruce also investigated several guys who were suspected to be members of the owl court.

These guys, without exception, are the heads of the famous families in Gotham.

Although these people were investigated, Bruce never investigated the headquarters of the Owl Court.

This also caused Roger to never get the inferior version of Dionysus Factor and Amber Gold that he wanted.

But Roger didn't pay too much attention to this issue.

Be it the Dionysus factor or the amber gold, to him, they are just gadgets of some interest.

If you can get it, of course the best.

If you can't get it, it's not a big deal.

More importantly, he is now enjoying his couple life with Selina.

To be precise, it is this kind of life like a normal person.

Selina, like Dick, hasn't been active as a catwoman for a week.

During the week, she and Roger opened a charity restaurant.

She is responsible for the day-to-day management of the restaurant, including hiring staff, purchasing ingredients, and more.

Roger, on the other hand, is mainly responsible for financial and security issues.

Because it is not for profit, the food in the restaurant is not particularly expensive food, but fully upholds the characteristics of high calorie and high sugar content.

Those who usually come to the restaurant to eat are basically homeless and poor people who have little money.

In order to avoid exposing that Selina is Catwoman, Roger did not participate in the management of the charity restaurant on the surface.

Through Bruce's channel, he forged an identity called "Ben Affleck".

When he usually appears in the restaurant, he will also wear the electrostatic camouflage veil he got from S.H.I.E.L.D., completely changing his face.

This electrostatic camouflage veil is the special veil used by Natasha the Black Widow in "American Team 2" in the movie universe.

Agent 33 of S.H.I.E.L.D. also used this veil to disguise Melinda as an iron rider.

As far as the degree of camouflage is concerned, it's just a change of face, but it's not enough.

But Roger didn't particularly care about this.

As long as he doesn't show his true colors, there won't be much of a problem.

Except for Selina and Harley who had intimate contact with him, everyone else had only met him, far from being familiar with him.

In this case, an electrostatic camouflage veil was enough to conceal his identity.

After knowing that Roger and Selina opened a charity restaurant, Bruce also sponsored a sum of money for the restaurant in the name of Wayne Group, which was considered to have made some contributions to charity.

As for the reward Bruce had promised Roger, Bruce sent it over immediately after the entrustment date ended.

The remuneration is not very much, only 5000 million US dollars.

And they are all transferred through overseas offshore accounts.

What made Roger even more satisfied was that Bruce directly considered Roger's identity and took the initiative to help him launder the money.

Batman offered to help him launder the money!
It has to be said that in this regard, Bruce is going to outshine Nightwing.

The days passed like this day by day, and Roger gradually began to adapt to the life of this ordinary person.

It is not an easy task to open a charity restaurant serving the poor in Gotham.

Although it's a charity, those punks don't care about it.

About this problem, Roger went to see Carmine.

Of course, when he went to Carmine, he didn't ask Carmine to protect the restaurant in the name of the Falcone family, but asked for these few blocks directly from Carmine.

To put it simply, he turned these blocks that belonged to the Falcone family into his own territory.

Although he will not appear in the restaurant with his real face, he has made a speech in the underground world.

Any gang that dares to enter these blocks to collect protection money or do "business" will be regarded as a provocation.

And for these gangs who provoke him, his way of dealing with them is also very simple.

Kill them directly!

That's right, his way of handling it was to directly destroy these gangs.

After killing several unbelieving gangs and killing all the people in these gangs, the security environment in these neighborhoods has been horribly improved in an instant.

Now, in these few blocks, not to mention gang members and gangsters, even thieves have disappeared completely.

The change of these few blocks certainly got other people's minds.

However, these matters were resolved by Roger himself.

It took less than a week for gang members and criminals in Gotham to know that these blocks were forbidden.

Any gang members and criminals who dare to enter these neighborhoods will be hit hard like Roger's tyrant.

For Roger's domineering approach, Bruce didn't approve of it at first.

However, after seeing that the law and order environment in these neighborhoods had been significantly improved, he didn't say anything, and acquiesced to Roger's approach.

Although Roger's approach was a bit cruel, the effect before him made Bruce have to admit that Roger's approach was much easier to use than his.
