Having lived for decades, Robert has never been as ashamed as he is now.
He feels like a clown on the stage, pitiful, ridiculous, hateful, hateful, no one wants to live like this, but he has no choice.
In Gotham City, few people dared to deceive Falcone, and even fewer survived. Robert is one of them.
The reason for surviving is not luck, nor relationship, but talent.
It sounds ridiculous, but it's the fact that Falcone took a fancy to Robert Downs' talent in finance and made an exception to leave him a dog.
The nomads have a traditional culture-boil the eagle. Falcone is one of the best. In his view, boil the eagle and boil the man is the same. If you want to tame the goshawk that soars in the sky, you must torture their bodies and kill them. Their souls, only when their souls and bodies are on the verge of collapse, will goshawks choose to surrender, and so do people.
Very early on, Robert knew Falcone's purpose. He was unwilling, shy and mad, but there was no way. In Falcone's world, there was no chance for Robert Downs to rise.
After many resistances to no avail, Robert chose to give up, discussing life in the sewers, trying to reduce his sense of existence, hoping to use the time to obliterate Falcone's memory.
After half a year, Luke Shaw came to the door and offered to let him join ShowMe. After a few days, the Elliott family found him and gave him a higher treatment. That night, Falco The person inside appeared, and all his dreams were broken with a violent beating.
It's not good for the dream to be shattered. Robert has experienced it twice and doesn't want to experience it the third time.
"Mr. Sidney, the data on this contract is very different from the previous ones. Have you got it wrong?"
Sidney ignored Robert, looked at Luke with a smile, and asked,
"Mr. Shaw, what do you think of the contract?"
Luke scanned the employees who showed their pistols and hissed after a while.
"Thirty million U.S. dollars, 60% of the shares, worthy of Gotham came out, really ruthless!"
Sidney laughed haha.
"Don't get me wrong. Gotham City is a city with simple folk customs. The people there are warm and hospitable. They never bully and don't like being bullied by others. The main reason for bringing guns is for self-defense. You know, the metropolis The public security is not good, there are always people floating in the sky, without a gun, and my heart is not at ease."
Luke sneered, "Your Excellency is really humorous!"
When the voice fell, the door of the house was smashed open vigorously, Alexander Rhodes and seven or eight sturdy-looking men poured in, some carrying submachine guns, some carrying rifles, and others carrying bazookas.
These people stood behind Sidney, looking at the opposite side murderously.
The atmosphere freezes instantly!
Sidney scolded a few words to prevent his subordinates from being so cruel, and then introduced,
"This is Alexander Rhodes. Next to him are Tommy Church, Justin Cook and Harrison Cod. Mr. Shaw is no stranger to these names, right!"
Charlie's face changed drastically, and just about to get up, he hit his right foot and gasped with pain.
Luke gave Sidney a deep look.
"Your Excellency, good means!"
Sidney waved his hand indifferently.
"Do you have any questions about the contract?"
All four of them were silent, and the atmosphere was somewhat depressing.
"Since there is no, please sign it. After signing it, it is your own person. If you encounter any trouble in the future, please call me and I will help you solve it."
Things have developed to the present, and nothing else makes sense. After signing and stamping, after 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 he was showing his work.
"You see, the kid is a kid, you can easily take it with a little trick, Rhodes, you will be from ShowMe in the future, keep an eye on that kid, you know what to do.
"Relax, Mr. Sidney."
Alexander grinned and said, "I have the most experience to deal with this kind of white face. If he dares to run, I promise to make him regret being a man."
Everyone was amused, and the room was full of weird laughter.
...
After leaving the hotel, the anger on Luke's face disappeared, and the ugly-faced Charlie three returned to the company, and took the car to the park two blocks away.
Not long after, Emily walked over, carrying a functional 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 out a USB flash drive from her pocket.
"This is what you want."
"How's the effect?"
"Can see the face and hear the voice."
"That's good."
Luke put away the USB flash drive, opened his hands and dropped silently, shivering inexplicably at the moment his fingers touched the girl's shoulder.
"Isn't it just a shoulder, as for?"
Emily sneered, "I'm not Ewan Donald. If you want to take advantage of me, it's best to be mentally prepared."
"is it?"
Luke blinked.
Ignoring the ice cone on his thigh, he put down his right hand without hesitation and rubbed it a few times.
"you..."
The girl was furious, struggling a few times, did not break away, and let him go.
"What do you think, you know that Sidney is from Falcone, and you have to negotiate with him to make it look like this, the group of people must laugh at you behind their backs."
"Soon they won't be able to laugh."
Emily said quietly, "Are you really going to attack Falcone?"
" is not that I want to deal with him, but he just hit the gun."
"What do you mean?"
Luke didn't answer, but instead said, "Do you know why wolves are afraid of tigers?"
"The tiger is stronger."
"Wrong, the reason why wolves are afraid of tigers is that tigers eat wolves. Businesses in the world are made up of people, but they are wolves and tigers in essence. If you don't want to be eaten, you can only evolve into a tiger. The prerequisite for becoming a tiger is to eat a pack of wolves or kill a tiger."
"Falcone is the tiger I want to swallow."
Emily said anxiously, "You figured it out clearly, Falcone is the boss of the underworld in Gotham City. He has connections in business, politics and even the military. Don't put yourself in it."
Luke smiled and said, "Don't worry, the share that belongs to me has been done. The next thing to do is to pour a glass of red wine and lie on the sofa to watch the play quietly."
"It's easy to say, that's Falcone, not an ordinary criminal. The FBI has not been able to catch him for more than ten years."
"The FBI is useless mainly because of the judicial procedures you went through, using the law to deal with Falcone, of course it is useless, things outside the law are different."
Emily thoughtfully, "You mean Batman!"
"Batman can't. He is too principled to do this kind of 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 people. When thousands of people rush into the mountains with torches, no matter how cruel and tyrannical the tiger is, they can only hide in the cave like a cat. Rithe trembling."
"Talents are the most powerful species!"
