The Richest Man in the DC World

Chapter 36: Then Swallow It

In decades of living, Robert has never been more ashamed.

He felt like a clown on the stage, pitiful, ridiculous, hateful, odious, no one wanted to live like that, but he had no choice.

In Gotham City, there are very few people who dare to deceive Falcone, and even fewer survive, and Robert is one of them.

The reason why I can survive is not luck, nor relationship, but talent.

It sounds ridiculous, but it's the truth. Falcone saw Robert Downs' talent in finance and made an exception to let him die.

Nomads have a traditional culture - boiled eagles, and Falcone is the best among them. In his opinion, boiled eagles and boiled people are the same. To tame the goshawks flying in the sky, you must torture their bodies and kill them. Their souls, goshawks will only choose to give in when their souls and bodies are on the verge of collapse, and the same is true of people.

From a very early time, Robert knew Falcone's purpose. He was full of unwillingness, shame and anger, but there was no way. In Falcone's world, there was no chance for Robert Downs to rise.

After resisting for many times to no avail, Robert chose to give up and seek a life in the sewers, trying to reduce his sense of existence as much as possible, hoping to use time to erase Falcone's memory.

After half a year, Luke Xiao came to the door and offered to let him join ShowMe. After a few days, the Elliott family found him and gave him higher treatment. The person inside appeared, and a violent beating broke all his sweet dreams.

It's a bad feeling to have a broken dream. Robert has already experienced it twice, and he doesn't want to experience the third time.

"Mr. Sidney, the data on this contract is very different from the previous ones. Did you get it wrong?"

Sidney ignored Robert, looked at Luke with a smile, and asked,

"Mr. Xiao, what do you think of the contract?"

Luke swept over the staff with pistols exposed, before hissing for a while,

"30 million US dollars, 60% of the shares, as expected from Gotham, really cruel!"

Sidney laughed,

"Don't get me wrong, Gotham City is a city with simple folk customs. The people there are warm and hospitable. They never bully or like to be bullied by others. The reason why they carry guns is mainly for self-defense. You know, Metropolis The public security is not good, there are always people floating in the sky, without guns, and my heart is not at ease."

Luke sneered, "Your Excellency is so funny!"

The voice fell, the door of the house was violently slammed open, and Alexander Rhodes and seven or eight sturdy-looking strong men poured in, some carrying submachine guns, some carrying rifles, and some carrying bazooka.

The men stood behind Sidney, looking murderously across.

The atmosphere instantly froze!

Sidney scolded a few words to tell his subordinates not to be so fierce, and then introduced,

"This is Alexander Rhodes, next to him are Tommy Church, Justin Cook, Harrison Codd, Mr. Xiao is no stranger to these names!"

Charlie's face changed greatly, and just as he was about to get up, he hit his right foot, gasping for breath in pain.

Luke took a deep look at Sidney,

"Your Excellency is a good way!"

Sidney waved his hand indifferently,

"Any questions about the contract?"

The four were silent, and the atmosphere was a little depressed.

"Since you don't have it, then sign it. If you sign it, it is your own. If you encounter trouble in the future, call me and I will help you solve it."

Things have developed to this point, and it is meaningless to say anything else. After signing, stamping, and the process is over, Luke got up and left, and Charlie and Will hurriedly followed.

Robert hesitated for a few seconds and followed.

Sidney held the contract for everyone to see, as if showing his work,

"Do you see it,

A little kid is a little kid, you can easily take it down with a little trick, Rhodes, you will be a ShowMe person from now on, keep an eye on that kid, you know how to do it. "

"Don't worry, Mr. Sidney."

Alexander said with a wicked smile, "I have the most experience in dealing with this little white face. If he dares to run away, I guarantee that he will regret being a man."

Everyone was amused, and the room was filled with eccentric laughter.

...

After leaving the hotel, the anger on Luke's face disappeared, and the ugly-looking Charlie and the three returned to the company, while he drove to the park two blocks away.

Not long after, Emily came over with an energy drink in her hand,

"Drink?"

"I like juice, coffee, and wine."

"Don't drink it, I'll drink it myself."

Emily sat on the bench and took a USB stick out of her pocket,

"This is what you want."

"How's the effect?"

"Can see faces and hear voices."

"That's good."

Luke put away the USB flash drive, opened his hands, and dropped them silently. The moment his fingers touched the girl's shoulders, he shivered inexplicably.

"Isn't it just a shoulder, as for?"

Emily sneered, "I'm not Ivan Donald. If you want to take advantage of me, you'd better be mentally prepared."

"yes?"

Luke blinked, ignoring the ice pick on his thigh, put down his right hand without hesitation, and rubbed it a few times.

"you……"

The girl was furious, struggled a few times, did not break free, and left him alone.

"What do you think, knowing that Sidney is from Falcone, and you have to negotiate with him, if you are like this, those people must be laughing at you behind your back."

"Soon they won't be able to laugh anymore."

Emily said condensedly, "Are you really going to attack Falcone?"

"It's not that I'm going to deal with him, it's that he just hit the gun."

"What's the meaning?"

Luke didn't answer, instead saying, "Do you know why wolves are afraid of tigers?"

"Tigers are stronger."

"Wrong, the reason why wolves are afraid of tigers is because tigers eat wolves. Enterprises in the world are made up of people, but their essence is a wolf and a tiger. Some companies are wolves, some companies are tigers, and tigers eat wolves. The law of nature, the survival of the fittest. If you want to not be eaten, you can only evolve into a tiger, and the premise of becoming a tiger is to eat a group of wolves or kill a tiger."

"Falcone is the tiger I'm going to swallow."

Emily said worriedly, "Think clearly, Falcone is Gotham City's underworld boss, and has connections in the business world, politics, and even the military, don't put yourself in it."

Luke smiled and said, "Don't worry, my share has been done, the next thing to do is pour a glass of red wine, lie on the sofa and watch the show quietly."

"It's easy to say, that's Falcone, not an ordinary criminal. The FBI has been trying hard for more than ten years to catch him."

"The FBI is useless mainly because of the judicial process you took. Using the law to deal with Falcone is of course useless. Things outside the law are different."

Emily mused, "You mean Batman!"

"Batman can't, he's too principled to do such a thing."

"It's not Batman, who else can it be, it can't be Superman!"

Luke shook his head and smiled, "Fool! The best choice to kill a tiger is of course a human being. When thousands of people rushed into the forest with torches, no matter how cruel and tyrannical the tiger was, they could only hide in the cave like a cat. Rei was shivering."

"Talent is the most powerful species!"
