In these documents, the way to wield Falcone is to use his son, who is his only weakness.
It thoroughly explains why we have to apply this approach, the ways it could proceed, and the possible outcomes of these techniques. Every line is written down very clearly. If this is a trap, I must say, we are dealing with a creative genius.
Savage, not being a fool, would not rely entirely on this document after falling into the trap once before. He plans to put it aside and find a few trusty men first. However, after flipping through several pages randomly, he stumbled upon a familiar name—"Schiller Rodriguez".
Master Mirror and Captain Cold, whom he sent out before, both have mentioned this name. Savage knows that he is a professor working at Gotham University, where he specializes in psychology. According to the data accumulated by Master Mirror and Captain Cold, the professor is depicted as a terrifying figure.
The intelligence provided by this strange individual includes a detailed account of Schiller's record, indicating that he is a detective and psychologist who has repeatedly participated in the investigation of serial murder cases. The document also speculates that Schiller might have had a shocking criminal past, migrating to Gotham as an act of avoiding his responsibilities.
Having read Schiller's experiences, Savage is a bit surprised; throughout his prolonged life, he has encountered countless maniac killers, most of whom have only committed crimes once or twice. Even the most notorious serial killers primarily operate within a period of a few years.
The extended text illustrated in Schiller's record recounts his busy experiences over the past decade. If all these are true, Savage would agree with the author's viewpoint: Schiller can't merely be a detective; he must have been a killer.
Savage doesn't enjoy dealing with these kinds of people. They care little for worldly fame and gain; their only desire is to commit crimes. But if he can stir up some chaos with their help, Savage can rally his forces.
Meanwhile, the clueless Professor Schiller is busy tutoring Jason in basic gramma in a classroom.
"Look here. You need to get used to using linking words. Doing so will make your logic clearer… Yes, you're right. You can omit them. But, be mindful of your pause and speed of speech after doing so…"
With a pointing finger at a sentence of the grammar book, Schiller said, "You are speaking too fast, which is unnecessary. The urge to have others understand your thoughts implies that you care too much about their reactions. Sometimes, you should pay more attention to your own logic…"
"During a conversation, try your best to notice the expression of the self. It is correct to show willingness to hear others' opinions, but if you can't be cogent towards your own logic, it's impossible for you to convince anyone else, let alone the patient…"
Jason nodded all the while, focused on the grammar book. He just brought up one point by saying, "Is this response suitable in the context? Won't it seem too rude? The exclaiming word the speaker used is rather aggressive, isn't it?"
"No, it's actually a form of self-suggestion. You need to boost your spirits when you're in the middle of a conversation. You have to leverage your positive mood to influence others. Intense exclamations and frequent gestures will help you improve your performance…"
With a back and forth exchange, Schiller and Jason communicated smoothly. Half an hour later, Schiller closed the book and said, "That's it for today. Are you planning to go to the dorm to rest, or…"
"Oh, I have to swing by the Tail Gang. I heard the Boss needs us for something. Nobody else knows what's going on, so it has to be me."
With a relaxed posture, leaning back in his chair, Schiller responded, "Thank God it's you in the class today; if it were Bruce…"
He subconsciously reached for some hostile words, but thinking about Bruce's current situation, he ended up not uttering anything. Hearing Bruce's name, Jason scrunched his nose.
"What's wrong?" Schiller asked. "Why are you making a face?"
With a cold huff, Jason answered, "Wasn't he the villain who liked to kidnap children? I heard he made several children vanish. Among others, I must have misjudged him. When he comes to school again, he'd better watch out…"
Apparently, Jason was also aware of the scandal of Batman. Since he knew Batman was indeed Bruce Wayne, he did not mince his words. But Schiller asked, "Did you hear some news? Where did you get that from?"
"The newspaper reported it," answered Jason.
"Who wrote the newspaper?" Schiller threw another question.
After contemplating for a moment, Jason shook his head. Then, Schiller pointed out, "A newspaper is written by a person, and every person has personal bias. Picture this, what if the leader of a rival gang of Tail Gang becomes a newspaper reporter? What will he write about you?"
A disgusted expression abruptly appeared on Jason's face, "That guy will definitely defame me! He falsely accused me of deducting commissions last time, but it was him! He wouldn't let go of the tiny bit of money that even the youngest child could earn…"
"Jason, don't jump to conclusions based on hearsay. Don't rely on others' portrayals to judge a person. Just like your homework, you have to do it yourself," Schiller said with a smile.
Pressing his lips, Jason replied, "But, if the news in the newspaper is accurate, doesn't that mean I…"
As he was about to nod hesitantly, Schiller suddenly switched attitudes like he remembered something important, he said, "Your impression of Bruce is correct. You'd better stay away from him. He enjoys catching kids to bring home and then dress them in tight suits, put masks on them, and make them act like Robin…"
"Listen, Jason, although it is your freedom to wear whatever you want, sometimes an overtly flashy costume may suggest mental issues, what we usually call fetishism…"
"Of course, if it is the person himself who has a fetish, we cannot stop him. But, if he wants to dress up others like that, then it turns out to be pure troublemaking."
"If he tells you that he needs an assistant, hopes you to become a hero, wishes you to help him fight against criminals, don't believe a word he says!"
A mystified expression appeared on Jason's face who seemed clueless about why Schiller was speaking like this. Yet, Schiller still kept advising in his own way:
"If you encounter a man with green hair who loves to laugh for no reason at all on the street, you have to steer clear of him. No matter what he tells you, you must not believe him!"
"Hold on. Maybe it is not just green hair…" Schiller touched his own hair, and then said, "If you see a man walking on the street who looks exactly like me, no matter what he tells you, you cannot believe him!"
Jason was baffled.
Shiller shook his head and said, "Remember, if you see me outside of school, don't talk to me... Oh, right, anything going on with the Tail Gang? Can you make it to class on time tomorrow?"
Jason shook his head and replied, "Nothing important, apparently one of the big bosses from the Twelve Families wants to hire someone. You know, they rely on the children of Gotham to find people. The Tail Gang wants to get involved in this, we could benefit from it and get to know more people from the Big Mafia, which would help us in the long run..."
Shiller nodded and said, "Well, although I think you should approach your career choices with a more cautious perspective, if you feel it's your responsibility, then go ahead."
Jason rarely smiled but did now, saying, "Thank you, Professor, no one has ever said that to me before. They all think I was naturally inclined to join the mob..."
Shiller stood up and walked with Jason to the door, saying, "Many people in this world have no choice but to do things they don't like. They would never grow to love their jobs, but since the situation is already like this, you might as well think about what you could learn from this job you don't love."
"What could I learn?" Jason scratched his head and said, "What can be learned from being in the mob?"
Shiller patted Jason on the shoulder and said, "Every situation has something to teach, and you are in the appropriate environment to slowly find your way. Some people even pay tuition to learn these things."
Jason, not quite understanding, nodded his head and left the school.
He did not allow Shiller to walk him home, for if he did, the children of the entire street would know he was in contact with the Professor, damaging his reputation.
Attending school was not an issue because he could teach others the skills he learned. But mingling too closely with the upper class, gaining their favor, or being adopted by them, would make it impossible to remain King of Children.
All the children here knew that if you were adopted by the wealthy, you would be forever removed from this world, and absolutely not responsible for the children in the gang anymore. For any child king, that would be a deadly blow.
So, Jason couldn't let the children here know that he was close with a university professor. Otherwise, uncertainty would spread among his gang, fearing he might leave at any moment. Other gangs that were against him would also use this opportunity to spread rumors and tarnish his reputation.
The Tail Gang was the second largest Children's Gang on the street. Jason was not the original Boss, nor did he establish this gang. He was just brought in by older kids because he was born nearby, and gradually ascend to the Boss position.
Jason felt he had an unshakeable responsibility towards the children here, especially since he was taken care of by older kids when he was younger.
In Gotham, there are two ways for an orphan to grow up.
The first is to be adopted by someone in the adult mob. After being adopted, you have to follow in their footsteps and join the original mob.
Because the mob needs fresh blood, they also tend to support their members adopting children, which is why Selina said that as long as you can wait in a safe place to be found, you can survive.
The mob's way of raising children is very rough, relying mostly on the child's own physical condition. Education is hardly a factor. Once adopted, they are fed and when they grow up, they continue to be mob enforcers. Occasionally, a gifted few may rise up in rank, considered a stroke of luck by their adoptive parents.
The other way is to be picked up by older children in the Children's Gang, run errands for them, be self-reliant, and raise yourself.
The advantage here is that the older children of the Children's Gang are more attentive, especially the older girls who typically see the children they bring in as their own younger brothers and include them in everything. Jason was raised this way.
The atmosphere of the entire Children's Gang is very much like a big family, where brothers and sisters must take care of each other and help each other when in trouble.
However, growing up in the Children's Gang has a downside: you often don't know where your next meal is coming from.
Although those growing up in the adult mob tend to be poorly cared for and often left to rely on their own resistance when falling ill, at least they are guaranteed enough food.
The majority of stable mobs don't lack a meal. Larger, more organized mobs may even provide subsidies for their members with children, to prevent them from being too short or weak to become enforcers.
However, the Children's Gang doesn't have as many resources. Most of them have to run errands for the Big Mafia, and before the snowstorm, the income of most Children's Gangs was completely unstable. If they didn't make money one day, everyone would have to go hungry.
In simpler terms, being adopted by the mob results in a physically healthy growth but lacks education and social skills, often creating extreme personalities.
On the other hand, growing up in the Children's Gang leads to a comparatively rich spirit, better social skills, a more stable personality, more collective consciousness and cooperative wisdom. However, due to poor nutrition, they may not be as physically robust.
While many people may think that being strong is more important in Gotham, that's not exactly the case.
