Bab 1139: Chapter 762: Gotham Spring Breeze (Part 1)_1

In the hall of Gotham Family Manor, Lady Goth breathed a sigh of relief, one hand on her chest, saying, "Thank goodness, this Chief Gordon is somewhat dependable. His security consultant promptly discovered that little thief, saving her from ransacking my home."

"I told you, you are making a big deal out of a small issue." Leon settled down on the couch, lit a cigar for himself and said, "It's just a petty thief, how could she pose a threat to the Goth family? You always overreact, how are we supposed to carry on the Great King's mission?"

Mentioning this, Lady Goth sighed and sat down on the other side of the couch, nervously saying, "I know, I do know. His Majesty has great ambitions, but the contract from the shipyard…I mean, if it is discovered, we are all doomed…"

"What are you afraid of?" Leon casually picked up a newspaper beside him to fan himself and said, "Who would dare to search your shipyard? Even the Godfather, without plausible reasons, won't do it…"

Lady Goth sighed a bit easier and said, "Yeah, that's true. After all, even Mobsters have rules. If they search my factory arbitrarily, they would lose their prestige…"

Leon curled his lips, he genuinely disdained Lady Goth's petty manner. He said, "You should dedicate everything to the Great King, not just aim for those minor benefits. Only those who have contributed significantly will be rewarded abundantly when the world is under his reign!"

Lady Goth looked hesitant. Originally, when Leon approached her, he merely wanted to use her shipyard to manufacture some forbidden goods, namely, heavy weapon components. He promised to pay her a large sum and provide many valuable collectibles.

As rumors in the outside world prevailed, the Goth family's fund turnover experienced difficulties in the preceding months. After all, the snow disaster hit, affecting transportation; virtually all industries were inevitably facing the winter season.

Even though it was not exceptionally critical, it might significantly impact next season's revenue. Lady Goth was out of reach of her ambition and wished to maintain the family business's cash flow. Just then, Leon willingly proposed himself at the right moment.

In the beginning, Leon was extremely obsequious. Lady Goth felt overwhelmed with joy. However, as Lady Goth became more deeply involved, Leon's attitude had greatly changed, causing dissatisfaction for Lady Goth, yet she didn't dare to voice it.

After all, judging from the rewards given by the Great King, he indeed was an affluent and powerful mysterious figure. Those precious collectibles cannot merely be obtained with money. Lady Goth even suspected that the family where the Great King resided might probably be an old hidden family. Otherwise, she could not explain how he possessed so many heritage collectibles.

Already on-board the pirate ship, Lady Goth knew she had to go down this path. Therefore, she gritted her teeth and said, "The project is nearing completion. Tomorrow, I'll arrange a car accident and make sure that the project engineer completely disappears, then I'll burn all the detailed drawings and project equipment lists…"

Leon wore a helpless expression and said, "Forget about your shipyard! Don't you think that cat burglar could be of some use?"

"Catwoman?" Lady Goth showed a puzzled look, but then, came to a sudden realization and said, "You mean, you want her to replace Vivian and charm those socialites for you?"

"Right." Leon nodded, then got up from the couch, walked up to the French window, watching the view outside and said, "Just now, when the police took her away, I made sure to observe her. She definitely is a beauty, I fear she is even prettier than Vivian…"

"I'm familiar with those people on the West Coast. They absolutely cannot resist such beauties. If she could get under our control and influence those elites, the Great King's mission would be a lot smoother…"

"But she won't be threatened by us, right?" Lady Goth frowned and said, "Those Gotham Flying Thieves are lawless…"

Leon snorted and said, "I don't believe that she's not afraid of prison. I know these petty thieves from the slums too well. As long as we pay the police a bit, let them brandish some guns to scare her, she will undoubtedly agree to all our demands out of fear. If I go myself…hmm!"

Lady Goth was still hesitant, but Leon had already picked up the phone. Within a second, he adorned a beaming smile and said into the phone, "Hi? Is this Gotham Police Department? Yes, I'm the victim from just earlier…"

"…Yes, I just wanted to ask how the little thief is being dealt with? Lady Goth is very angry. She hopes that the thief could be severely punished... Yes, we plan to talk face to face, okay, I will head to Gotham Police department right now!"

Leon put down the phone and turned to Lady Goth and said, "You take care of those matters at the shipyard. I will make a trip to the police station. When I come back, everything will be back on track."

Watching Leon leaving, Lady Goth gritted her teeth and picked up the phone, saying, "Connect me to the truck driver… Yes, the one who recently emerged in the news, the legendary Midnight Joker Truck Driver. Get him to cause an accident and crush that engineer into dust!"
