[Zhongyingmei] Vampires don't want to inherit

Chapter 17 Renault doesn't want to carry on the family

Things went according to Renault's expectations. He successfully took over the power of the Penguin and the Iceberg Restaurant. The system played a big role in this process.Those men who vowed to follow the Penguin were packed up by Renault and sent to the police station, and the rest were either very winking or didn't care who the boss was, and they would work for whoever gave them money. Gangsters are so unprincipled.

Newspapers large and small in Gotham have received invitations to press conferences from the Copperpot family. Mr. Reynold Straw, assistant to the former mayor, was authorized to hold this press conference, and there will be a grand ceremony after the conference. dinner party.

Renault was sitting in Penguin's favorite stretched Lincoln, the hem of the suit was unbuttoned, and his two straight and slender legs were tilted up, occupying almost a quarter of the body.The silver-gray shirt was buttoned up casually, and the tie of the same style was thrown on the seat beside him. While sipping champagne, he looked out the window at the rapidly passing scenery.

There is another person in this car, who is not very old, also in a suit and has a thick pomade on his head. He is sitting anxiously on the side, secretly looking at Renault in the main seat from time to time.

"If I were you, I would calm myself down. Do you remember what I'm going to say later?" Lei Nuo raised the wine glass in the man's hand, the smile on his lips never suppressed.

"Oh, yes, yes, I've memorized it." The man took out a piece of paper from his suit pocket and unfolded it. According to the creases on the raw edge of the paper, it can be seen that it has been folded many times.He swallowed nervously, ready to recite it again.

Renault felt a little bored, and turned his eyes away again. This man is far from Penguin.The man was deeply relieved to see that Renault was no longer paying attention to him.

The speed of the car slowed down slowly, and the man hurriedly put away the paper, with fine sweat oozing from his forehead, and he could see that the man's legs were trembling if he looked closely.

Renault sighed, God only saves those who help themselves, if he can't stand up by himself, no one can help him.Renault took out a handkerchief and handed it to the man, "Stay in the car slowly, and let the driver take you to the banquet hall when you feel all right."

The man took the handkerchief gratefully, looking much better.

The car came to a complete stop, and the noisy voices of journalists outside the car could be heard inside the car, as well as the sound of cameras taking pictures from time to time.The bodyguards separated the reporters and opened the car door.

When Renault Straw stepped out of the car, the audience was silent for a while, and then more intense voices broke out.A lot of microphones were poked straight in front of Lei Nuo, and the human wall separated by the bodyguards holding hands couldn't stop their passion. Many people were crowded with flushed faces, and even tried their best to squeeze forward even after their shoes fell off.

It was big news that the mayor was detained. Gotham's political situation was in turmoil again because of this accident. Many people took this opportunity to stand up and promote themselves, secretly hoping to completely tear Cobbot from the mayor's position.

"Mr. Straw, is Mayor Coppert really colluding with gangs to smuggle illegal drugs? Does his behavior conflict with his previous political manifesto? Does it mean..."

"Mr. Straw, Lincoln March said that Mayor Copperpot is a villain who will push Gotham to hell, and declared to run for the next mayor, what do you think..."

"Mr. Straw, Mayor Copperpot's political manifesto is to make Gotham safer. Currently..."

"Mr Straw..."

"Mr Straw..."

The reporters scrambled to ask their own questions, Renault just walked forward with a warm smile, his female assistant stepped on high heels and held the document and repeated over and over again: "Mr. Straw will not answer questions. Will explain everything."

Lei Nuo walked to the podium step by step, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and waited for the chaotic media reporters to calm down.The media that can sit in the press hall are either well-known media newspapers in Gotham, or news throats that have a good relationship with the Copperpot family.

He coughed lightly, and the sound of coughing came out through the microphone, and the reporters fell silent. Everyone knew that the real drama was about to begin.

"I regret that the vehicle stopped on the Gotham Bridge seven days ago was indeed carrying a large amount of prohibited drugs."

As soon as the voice fell, the press hall suddenly became noisy, and the female assistant had to turn on the microphone to suppress it, but it didn't have any effect.Renault raised his hand and pressed it lightly, his voice miraculously quieted down.

"This is not to say that Mayor Copperpot used his power to benefit himself. The mayor has always adhered to the political philosophy of making Gotham safer, and purchased large quantities of medicines that Gotham urgently needs. It's a pity that people's hearts are unpredictable, and someone replaced Medicines." Renault's brows and eyes showed deep helplessness.

"We all know that Gotham is known for its chaos. Since Mayor Coppert took office, a series of activities have effectively reduced the crime rate in Gotham, but they have not eliminated crime from the root. This illegal drug incident is a Dereliction of duty by Mayor Copperpot."

"Currently there are rumors in the Gotham media that Mayor Cobbott is being imprisoned. I am here to refute the rumors. Mayor Cobbott was not imprisoned for a crime, but because of exhausting work and long-term high pressure. Camm Asylum for Mental Rehabilitation."

A reporter suddenly stood up and interrupted Renault, "Mr. Straw, according to the Gotham Police Department, the police department is preparing materials to sue Mayor Copperpot. What is your explanation for this?"

Renault frowned, this is not the reporter that was arranged before, "Actually, we also got the news. However, the terms of the police department's prosecution are slightly different from what you imagined, and we have prepared the best for the mayor. Lawyer, I believe you will see the mayor soon."

The reporter wanted to ask something again, but was preempted by the female reporter behind him. This time, the female reporter asked the question that Lei Nuo had arranged in advance. Following Lei Nuo's script, the press conference was successfully completed.

After answering the reporter's last question, Lei Nuo politely bowed to the reporters, and left the release hall under the escort of bodyguards and female assistants.

The reporters looked at each other in blank dismay, and the female assistant came back in a hurry, "There will be a dinner at Bingshan Restaurant in an hour. Friends from the media who have invitations are invited to arrive on time. Thank you for your cooperation."

……

Renault sat in the VIP room, loosened his tight tie, and the assistant hurriedly served a glass of water.

Originally, Douglas Coppert was sitting on the sofa reading the manuscript, and while reading it, he was still silently chanting the lines in the manuscript.Seeing Lei Nuo enter the VIP room, he quickly stood up and was very apprehensive facing Lei Nuo.

In the past few decades, Douglas Coppert absolutely despised Renault, but since Oswald returned to the Copott family, everything changed.He and his mother and younger brother were kicked out of Copperpot's main house, all the privileges he had had were cancelled, and the life of luxury and money closed the door to him. In order to make a living, he had to do what he didn't want to see in the past work.

Douglas resented Oswald, feeling that he had taken everything from him.When Renault found him, he couldn't wait to express his willingness to be a part of his plan.He stood for Renault, and Renault helped him regain control of the Copperpot family. In exchange, he only needed to put the Bingshan restaurant under Renault's name, and everything was so beautiful.

The water moistened Renault's thirsty throat, and he answered too many questions at the press conference, leaving little time to rehydrate.But I have to admit, standing under the flash puts him in a good mood.Vampires are nocturnal creatures, and he has never tried to expose himself to intense light. This time it was confirmed that the flash did not affect his body.

Reynolds looked up at Douglas, a typical playboy with no brains. When the Penguin did not return to the Copperpot family, he enjoyed the absolute right of inheritance as the eldest son of the family.He didn't cherish it, and was more willing to enjoy the extravagance of money and power under the protection of old Copperpot.

What he didn't know was that his younger brother hibernated, ready to pull his older brother down as the heir at any time. Unfortunately, the return of the Penguin shattered his younger brother's plot, and both of them were kicked out of the Copperpot family.This time he chose Douglas as the person in front of the stage. Such a person is more manipulative. Douglas doesn't even know what his family's main business and private business are.

"Don't be nervous. When the time comes, you just need to say the most important things. For the rest of the time, you can be yourself. Beautiful women, good wine, champagne, and old houses will all come back to you, just like you You are still the first in line heir of the Copperpot family, oh no, I will call you Master Copotter."

Renault sat on the sofa and turned on the TV. The host on the TV was analyzing the information revealed in the press conference just now, and invited people from the police station to conduct interviews.

"Oswald's dereliction of duty in office is a certainty, and the police department has already taken care of it. They will sue, and the verdict will be imprisoned for up to one year. His mayor's position will no longer be guaranteed. You have to take advantage of this time gap to completely control the Copperpot family. , otherwise there will be endless troubles.”

"But what should I do, my brother..."

"No, Douglas, I told you that your brother is not as simple as you think. If your brother is allowed to intervene, you will definitely not be the person who will be the head of the Copperpot family. Think about how he treats you What did you do, do you still want him to intervene?"

Douglas gripped the manuscript tightly, took a deep breath, "You're right, Straw, I don't know anything about my brother. Please tell me, what should I do?"

Renault adjusted his glasses, the lenses reflected light under the light, making Renault look extraordinarily shrewd, "The Copperpot family doesn't need a patriarch with mental problems. As for your younger brother, it's never been a problem for Gotham to disappear one or two people." It's a big deal, isn't it?"

The hands of the standing clock fixed to the number twelve, and the chime sounded.Renault got up, put the windbreaker on his arms, and was ready to go out.

The bodyguard opened the door for him, and at the moment when he completely stepped out of the VIP room, Renault suddenly turned around and said, "The only option is also a choice, isn't it?" Douglas watched in a daze as Renault left the room, his eyes changed from panic to a little bit. Turning into fierceness, the manuscript in his hand was crushed into a ball of waste paper by his clenched fist, and the veins on the back of his hand stretched.

The system projected the performance of Douglas in the VIP room from the glasses. Renault just glanced at it casually to make the system turn off the projection, and hummed softly, "Hmph, Gotham man."

The author has something to say:

*Black and black are in progress...Penguin combines the images and characters from movies and American dramas.

*Penguin has two half-brothers in the American TV series, but the specific information has not been found, so it is private.

*I don't know anything about foreign laws and set up privately.
