Gotham Dark Godfather

It's strange to say that Captain Boomerang has been on leave for some time, but so far there has been no news, as if he disappeared out of thin air.Zhou Hao didn't think much about it at first, just thinking that this guy was returning home in fine clothes and had too much fun in Central City.Therefore, even the Claw War did not recall Captain Boomerang back.But now that I calm down and think about it, I feel like something is wrong.

"Don't be like Bronze Tiger. It would be too embarrassing to go out and disappear." Zhou Hao said thoughtfully.At the same time, he sent a message to Riddler Nemag, writing directly: "Please help pay attention to the situation in Central City. If there is news about George Diggle Harkness (Captain Boomerang), please notify me immediately."

After all, Zhou Hao has become more and more aware of the importance of talents since he reached this day. Even a guy of Boomerang's level can lead his gang members very well and save a lot of his time and energy.Mr. Sleep is such a loyal guy, it would be a pity to use him to manage the gang.

It is said that the Riddler followed Zhou Hao's instructions and reported the repair list of Arkham Asylum to the city hall. The figure was multiplied five times. The bureaucrats inside were dumbfounded and almost dropped their jaws because of this. The price tag is simply too exaggerated.

"Is that bastard Zhou Hao crazy? He wants so much money?" A congressman held a long request form and said in an exaggerated tone: "Blow up a simple dock and a prison area, the asking price is more than 1000 Ten thousand dollars, does he think this is Notre Dame de Paris?"

The congressman's words did not resonate with the other senior speakers. They were silent, looking at the repair costs of Arkham Asylum, speechless for a long time.

Unlike those low-level congressmen who are used to embellish democracy, these guys who can climb to the top of Gotham's power pyramid are all from Gotham's deep-rooted aristocratic families. Many of their relatives are important backbones in the Court of Owls. How could they not know what happened recently? things.Naturally, we know what purpose Zhou Hao had in reporting such a large number. Too many of his companions have been found guilty and thrown into prison. The claws that he used to rely on have disappeared under the walls of Arkham Asylum. Silently, the hundreds of years of accumulation of the Court of Owls were gone.

In other words, they can't provoke Zhou Hao at all now. His willingness to kill you all is the result of showing mercy.

"More than 1000 million US dollars... Although this is a lot of money, you can still get it out if you squeeze it." After a moment of silence, the Speaker said: "After all, Arkham Asylum is Gotham's place to hold seriously ill patients. If the place is not repaired for a day, it will pose a great hidden danger to the city's security... So it is better... to comply with his request..."

As soon as this statement came out, the lower-level councilors present were all taken aback, and they all stood up and objected:

"How can this be such a childish thing? Just when a report comes out, we have to allocate money? It doesn't make sense."

"That's right. Now that Gotham's financial budget has been approved, less than 300 million US dollars can be used for expenses today. It was given to Zhou Hao. So what will the others do?"

"Especially the shipyards in my jurisdiction. They submitted a request for financial assistance a year ago. Now they are giving their money to Zhou Hao? This is really ridiculous. If I do this, what will happen to the shipyards next year? The workers will not vote for me.”

The low-level councilors who were watching the murmurs in the audience were unwilling to give the allocated funds to Zhou Hao.There was a bitterness in the heart of the Senior Speaker. These guys were really ignorant and had no idea about the political game behind this. It was almost a public challenge between Zhou Hao and the local forces. However, the Owl Court, which was currently in turmoil, did not have many trump cards.

Hey, maybe ignorance is also a kind of happiness.

"Money still needs to be allocated, otherwise if something happens again in Arkham Asylum, Zhou Hao will definitely overthrow us." The senior speaker hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Let's do this, the city hall funds will allocate 100 million US dollars. , and for the rest, the parliament will find a way to raise it.”

When the lower-level councilors heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.The so-called parliamentary fundraising is actually the subtext of these big families raising money internally. It can make these rich people willing to bleed, which shows that this matter is really unexpected. When did Zhou Hao's words become so powerful?So much so that these Gotham families were obediently willing to pay for it. This kind of thing was simply impossible in the past.

The senior speaker secretly complained in his heart. He knew that Zhou Hao was short of money earlier, but now he squeezed out the money and sent it to him in vain. It was as if he was helping Zhou Hao fill a hole. He was really unlucky.It's almost a shame.

So far, Zhou Hao has the naked photos and routes of the media tycoons, as well as the evidence left by the upper-class dignitaries in the Court of Owls, plus the mafia forces that expelled Falcone.For a time, it really became the dominant presence in Gotham's white and underworld.At least for now, no one except Batman can shake Zhou Hao's position.

Zhou Hao, on his side, soon encountered troubles after the expansion.Every day gangs from Gotham came to hand over invitations, hoping that they could come to the banquet.Various celebrities in Gotham also sent invitations to Zhou Hao, as if Zhou Hao was their old friend.These kind invitations made Zhou Hao very annoyed.

"Actually, if necessary, it won't do much harm for you to attend some necessary gatherings." The Riddler frowned and slowly threw a box of invitations into the stove for firewood, and at the same time suggested: "Especially if you are still When you're single, it's better to go out and walk more than to stay in the office."

Before he finished speaking, he was glared at by Poison Ivy next to him, which made the Riddler shrink back in fear, knowing that he had said the wrong thing.

"Hey... I don't even know what you are thinking..." Zhou Hao shook his head helplessly and said: "If Captain Boomerang were here, he would definitely suggest that I take the opportunity to summon the Gotham underworld. Bai Dao, declare that from now on I will be the talker of this city, and I will have the final say on all rules."

"I think it's good, at least it's more reliable than the blind date party idea!" Poison Ivy said in agreement.

In fact, many people are quite surprised by Zhou Hao's actions. In the face of such a good opportunity, he can integrate the black and white forces of Gotham with just a move of his fingers. By then, Zhou Hao will be the new generation overlord of Gotham.Power spans political circles and gangs, and is even more powerful than Falcone was at the time.

But what is surprising is that at this juncture, Zhou Hao has always remained silent and has no intention of intervening in the situation in Gotham.He stayed in Arkham District all day without any turmoil, as if he were a monk living in darkness.
