[Comprehensive British and American] Backbones League

"I'm in a little trouble, Magician."

"You know the word trouble is always with me, Ozzy." Salas squatted on the ground with his hands crossed, which made him look very inconsistent with his image of a scholar.

This time he used Jekyll's body to meet Oswald, so both parties are familiar with each other, and there is no need to go through the self-introduction process.

He originally thought that Oswald called him out because of his dear Riddler's rescue plan, but who knew that the Gotham boss said something else: "The atmosphere in Gotham has been a bit strange recently, you found Yet?"

Well, Salas has to admit that he's found something interesting lately, so he's a bit of a loser.

Thinking of this, he still felt a little guilty, but when he turned around, he was not a well-informed person. In the past, he got a lot of news from Penguin. Of course, there is no need to make an exception now. After all, he Just a villain who likes to have fun but doesn't pursue it.

Thinking of this, he became confident again: "Tell me."

Oswald turned his head to look at him, and suddenly asked, "I heard that you had a conflict with Black Mask a while ago?"

Salas thought for a long time before finding out what happened that night from his memory: "Oh, you said that time, it seems to be, but I remember that our communication was pretty good."

"Black Mask offered you a reward on the road, and was picked up by Deathstroke." The Penguin was indeed well-informed, and directly stated the situation Salas was facing now.

Salas was shocked: "Is the black mask so stingy?"

"Don't pretend." Oswald lit a cigar, "Did you take something important from Black Mask?"

Salas put back the exaggerated fear on his face, returned to a calm look, and then said lightly: "I don't remember."

He really didn't remember it, or he didn't want to remember it, because in his opinion, the thing was already his, and it had nothing to do with the black mask. Why would he remember something boring like the original owner?What is his is his, and in his hands the original owner is him.

As for how he handles it, that's purely his business, what about the black mask?

"It's okay, it doesn't matter." He then added, which was an answer to Penguin's hidden concern.

Among the villains in Gotham, he and Oswald get along fairly well, one is because Oswald is the first villain he met when he started his villain career, and the other is because the other party is a rare serious villain in Gotham.

A serious villain means that he has a serious mind and is easier to cooperate with.

They have cooperated happily a few times. Oswald also sees Salas' ability very clearly, and he is not that bad at the people he can use. On the contrary, some people are entering the range of his own people. In the future, he will treat each other very well.

So Salas actually liked him a lot.

"No matter what you get, it should be the same tricky thing." Seeing his indifferent look, Oswald reminded him vaguely.

Salas nodded to show that he understood, and then said ahead of Oswald, "So what's the matter with the bad atmosphere in Gotham you said?"

Speaking of this, Oswald's expression sank: "...some people in Gotham have become very strange recently, and several of my businesses have fallen apart due to some small frictions."

"Isn't it normal to have a falling out?" Salas said seriously, tilting his head.

This is a big truth. The villains of Gotham have fallen out with each other, and it is common for blacks to eat blacks.

"It's not the same, not to that extent." Oswald finished, "So I need you to handle a business with me later."

"Deal with it? Understood." Salas pushed his glasses after speaking, his eyes changed, "I look harmless enough to humans and animals."

Oswald flicked his cigar, let the ashes fall to the ground, looked at Salas for a long time, and then said, "Very good."

This body is usually a standard image of a scholar, especially after Salas consciously changed his aura, he turned into a literate scientist.

So Oswald led such a "scholar" to appear in his business field.

This business has nothing to do with the inside of Gotham, but with people outside.

Oswald joins in.sell the army.Fire, and dealing with people outside of Gotham a lot.

It was not the first time that Salas participated in Oswald's business. He was not short of money. The first time he participated was purely out of curiosity.

Most of the next few times were because of being invited. I participated when I was bored, and I didn’t participate when I was not bored. However, when Oswald specially invited him, as long as he didn’t run into a date with a bat, he would usually attend.

All in all, he is quite familiar with Oswald's business processes because he has seen it several times.

It's also fortunate that not many people know about his body at present (although the black mask offered him a reward, but he has not been able to get his accurate video data, so there are not so many people who know his current appearance), otherwise he would still I have to find a suitable body.

After all, Oswald is an honest businessman who is always ready to eat black and black. If Salas is too threatening, it may affect his honest career.

So he is really familiar with these processes.

Three and 10 minutes later, the troops of both sides arrived at Gotham Port.

In this wave, Oswald purchased a batch of new weapons from outside. The two parties decided to trade in Gotham. The goods were transported by water and landed from Gotham Port in the name of food.

The relevant government personnel have all been bribed, and the ship has been parked at the port during the day, pretending to be normal, just waiting for the transaction between the two parties.

The other party was from New York. Salas looked at the logos on the clothes of these people, and after thinking for a while, he remembered that it was the logo of Hammer Industries.

The reputation of Hammer Industries is not very good. Of course, that means that among superheroes, he often plagiarized Tony's works, but it caused a lot of trouble for the Stark Group.

However, his weapons are very popular among villains. After all, villains are not very copyright conscious.

Their family's business rarely reaches Gotham, mainly in New York and other places.

That's because Gotham's villains are so well-known—the pejorative kind.

Even the kind that is considered bad among the villains.

Except for some vicious and vicious people, many people are unwilling to deal with the villains of Gotham.

I don't know how Oswald got on the line with Hammer Industries in this wave, and actually persuaded the other party to come to Gotham to trade.

No wonder Oswald specially instructed Salas before arriving: "This time we don't follow the previous procedure. If the other party is sincere in the transaction, we will also conduct an honest transaction."

I understand. Salas made an ok gesture. At that time, he thought it was a hint. Looking back now, Oswald was really not joking. This honest business is probably afraid of scaring others away. No Next time business can be done, and Oswald will not do it stupidly.

Of course, the premise must be that the other party does not do anything, and if the other party does not do anything, they will not do anything.

The other party is obviously coming to Gotham for the first time. Judging from their clothes and temperament, they look like mercenaries.

You can clearly smell the blood on them.

The moment they saw Oswald, they obviously straightened their bodies, clenched the weapons in their hands, and instinctively demonstrated to them first.

All of them are tall men, especially the leader, who is estimated to be more than two meters tall, not to mention competing with Oswald, who is physically disabled, even compared with Salas, Salas is in front of him All turned into children.

"Here we come." They looked at the people from Gotham with defensive eyes. The people behind were already raising their guns, and they seemed to want to show their strength first and then talk about business.

Salas knew that many people like to use this method to shock others first, so as to raise their own social status - there are many in Gotham.

However, this kind of demonstration often depends on the person. Gotham criminals are divided into different levels, and each has its own position.

Although Oswald is worse than the clowns and the like-the status of mentally ill criminals in Gotham is always different, and Oswald is a rare crime boss in Gotham who only goes to Black Gate Prison.

But he is Gotham Black after all.One of the top gangsters, only a blind cannon fodder would offend him.

So Salas dared to say that Oswald must have not encountered such a provocation for a long time.

Perhaps due to the desire for the new weapon of the Hammer family or other reasons that Salas did not know, Oswald did not respond to the other party's provocation this time, but directly said: "Deal."

A transaction is nothing more than an exchange of goods and money. As long as the two parties understand clearly that there is no misalignment of goods or money, the transaction will basically be completed.

Oswald was eager to trade, and the other party also showed them the new weapon he sold to Gotham this time.

"You all know that in the past ten years, aliens have invaded the earth several times. Although they were defeated by those weirdos every time, they did not leave nothing behind, such as their spaceships and weapons. Kind of." The leader said with some pride, "The Stark Group and the Wayne Group spent a lot of money to recycle those things, but not every piece can be recycled in place, so some things are still taken by us. Got it. Our scientific research team stepped up to study these remnants, and then designed stronger weapons based on those alien technologies. Here are the new weapons we have researched based on those alien technologies."
