Chapter 10 A Gotham-style surprise



The response that he finally came up with was awkwardly blocked by Ozwald's declaration, and Sabatino's eyes widened.

The sound of heavy breathing lasted for more than ten seconds. After Sabatino spat, he gently shook his suit jacket that had several holes in it.

"Your stud is just to put holes in my clothes?

Penguin, when you're in bed, you can only drool on the girl's face, right? "

After the words fell, Sabatino finally felt a little more comfortable. Without waiting for Ozwald to respond, he quickly raised his hand to make a phone call gesture.

"I didn't come to the Iceberg Club to discuss business with a dwarf like you. I had already contacted Falcone before I came here!

Just guard your iceberg, I will go to minus 44 degrees and wait for Falcone to come over.

Remember to watch the door for me! "

After saying that, Sabatino spat at Ozwald's feet, and then took off his coat with disgust and disgust on his face.

Throwing his coat on the ground, Sabatino walked deeper into the Iceberg Club, shaking his head and sneering.

"If you accidentally soiled the club floor, use that piece of clothing as a rag, watchdog."

"hehe……"

Looking at Sabatino's retreating back, Ozwald smiled deeply, and then exhaled a long stream of cigar smoke.

When the smoke was about to dissipate in the air, he raised his hand and said to the younger brothers around him.

"Did you hear that? Our Falcone boss is coming soon, and he hasn't cleaned up the club yet."

After saying that, Ozwald turned around and limped towards his office.

When he walked into the office, he closed the door solemnly, then picked up the special umbrella hanging by the door and slammed it on the clothes hanger at the door!

Wow!

The wooden clothes hanger instantly shattered, but Ozwald's umbrella was not damaged at all.

I saw him bending down holding an umbrella, and his breathing gradually became heavier and faster.

"Penguin...Penguin!"

He murmured to himself, his eyes shining with horror.

"What disgusts me the most is the penguin...and you, Sabatino..."

Soon, the greatest secret in the Iceberg Club, known as Forty-Four Below, is hidden in a club within a club.

Falcone and Gotham City Police Chief Pete Savage sat across from Sabatino.

The arrival of the two made Sabatino change his posture unnaturally.

Even after knowing Falcone for so many years, he still felt unnatural in front of Falcone, just as anyone who could barely conceal his ambitions would feel unnatural in front of the King.

And the king in his eyes...

Falcone is of medium build and quite tall. Although he is slightly bald, the remaining hair is neatly combed.

Looking from a distance, you would never detect the slightest danger in him, and you would even think that he is a good guy among good guys and a gentleman among gentlemen.

It happened that such a gentleman made Sabatino even cautious about breathing.

Looking at Sabatino who looked slightly unnatural, Falcone smiled and handed him a glass of whiskey.

“Johnny, my old friend, you said on the phone that you had something important to talk to me about, so I rushed here as soon as possible.

Why, is it inconvenient to mention this news in front of our director?

If your answer is yes, then I will blame you for giving our director a good reason to hang out with the girls! "

"this……"

Facing Falcone's inquiry, Sabatino nodded slightly, then turned to Director Savage and said.

"Director Savage, there have been a lot of good Ukrainian girls at Minus Forty-Four recently, and two of them that have never been touched are particularly attractive."

"Really, then I have to help them!"

Director Savage left the private room with a smile and a whiskey glass.

After the director left, Sabatino turned his head and looked at the only third person left in the private room.

Facing Sabatino's slightly fearful gaze, Victor Zass, Falcone's personal bodyguard and the Falcone family's strongest killer, licked his lips cruelly.

On the side, Falcone shook his head slightly.

"Victor is an old friend. There is nothing to hide from him."

"All right."

Sabatino nodded, and then said with caution.

"Boss Falcone, I seem to have found the kind of person you asked me to pay attention to... who can come back from the dead!"

"oh?"

Hearing this, Falcone was slightly stunned.

"When will I ask you to find someone who can come back from the dead..."

Just as he was mid-sentence, Falcone suddenly remembered something, so he stopped what he was saying.

After a moment of silence, Falcone had to admit that he was old. If he were younger, he would never forget any of the orders he gave to his subordinates!

Even if this order comes more than ten years ago!

While remembering his younger self in his heart, Falcone gave Sabatino an appreciative smile.

"Johnny, that's an order I left for you more than ten years ago. It's rare that you can still remember it until now."

"Boss, you know me. As long as it is your order, no matter whether it has been ten or twenty years, I will treat it as a top priority!

I still can’t forget it. It was about fifteen years ago in the summer, when you, boss, asked me to carefully look for people who could come back from the dead.

I have been searching for so many years without any clues. Until today, when I was fighting with the bastards of the Dimitrov family, I and their group of Maozi were attacked by a resurrected ghost! "

Speaking of this, Sabatino showed a lingering fear.

Gotham has not yet entered the non-human era. Resurrection is really a bit unbelievable for the big guys among them.

And Falcone, who heard this...

He couldn't help but ponder.

Sabatino's words evoked many memories of him. Fifteen years ago, that was the year when Thomas Wayne died.

It was in that year that I, who thought I had ruled Gotham for more than ten years, really came into contact with the existence of the Court of Owls for the first time.

The emergence of the Court of Owls brought a huge psychological blow to myself who was originally floating in the clouds, so I had secretly signaled several of my men to let them carefully search for news about the claws.

The claws that can be resurrected from the dead are the weapons of the Court of Owls to punish and manipulate the entire Gotham.

At that time, I was indeed I had thought of challenging the Court of Owls, but I never found any valuable information about the Court of Owls and the Claws.

Now, fifteen years have passed, and I am already over sixty. Old people have begun to fantasize about retirement.

At this critical juncture, the resurrected Claws reappeared and intervened in the war between Sabatino, my subordinate, and the Russian-American gangster Dimitrov family!

In a short moment, countless possibilities flashed through Falcone's mind, and each of them pointed to a bad ending!

On the sofa opposite, Sabatino's body suddenly stiffened three points when he saw Falcone's suddenly tightened brows.

He was too familiar with his boss, and he knew that Falcone was angry at this moment!

Restraining the anger in his heart, Falcone nodded to Sabatino lightly.

"Go on, Johnny."

"OK, boss, that's an Asian man in his twenties, and he should be more than 1.8 meters tall.

He participated in the war between me and the Dimitrov family twice. After being killed by random gunfire, his body would spontaneously combust and then disappear.

Not long after, he would reappear alive, but we only killed him twice. When he returned to the battlefield for the third time, we had already finished fighting with the Dimitrov family and left.

Later, I found out that when he came back for the third time and couldn't find us, he attacked another citizen and was then arrested by the police.

But not long after he was arrested, he disappeared again, just like a ghost in a story..."

Bang, bang, bang!!!

Suddenly, a series of gunshots were heard outside the private room.

Boom!

There were even explosions.

The sudden situation interrupted Sabatino's words. Victor Zas, who was beside Falcone, immediately drew his gun and knife and went to the door of the private room, carefully looking for a gap to observe.

After about ten seconds, the gunshots and explosions stopped completely. After a brief observation, Victor turned around and nodded to Falcone to indicate that it was safe.

At the same time, Falcone's phone rang.

After picking up the phone in his hand, Falcone answered it and said in a low voice.

"Ozwald, I handed over the Iceberg Club to you to manage, not for you to give me such a surprise."

"It's my fault, boss. I was sneaked in by a madman who was generous with his money.

But there was only one madman, and he was not even a trouble."

"I know. "

After getting Ozwald's confirmation, Falcone thought for a moment and hung up the phone.

He didn't think Ozwald had the courage to betray and assassinate him directly. What happened just now must be an accident.

So he waved to Sabatino.

"It's just a Gotham-style accident, Johnny, keep going!"
