Gotham Central Hospital. Saber, who was wearing a baseball cap and black casual clothes, stood outside Sergues's room. Through the glass, he looked at the bald man who was covered in bandages and plaster. He had just been wheeled out of the emergency room and was still in critical condition.
Kevin stood behind Saber. The little girl's eyes were already filled with tears. She had a good impression of Sergues. This brutish man who looked terrible was actually a very easy person to get along with. He often brought his precious daughter and Catherine to Russian restaurants to eat the weird food. When Catherine needed him, he would even be the bodyguard of the little princess of The Devil Gang.
He was Catherine's good friend. But now, he was lying ten meters away from her. She did not know if he was dead or alive.
"Phew …"
Kevin let out a long breath. "Sergues was lucky. The others who went to the bank with him did not survive. Only he and Hofs survived the second explosion because they were blocked by the debris from the first explosion."
"But he lost both his legs!"
Seiber's voice was cold. When they first met, Seiber's cold voice had appeared frequently. However, in the past year, Seiber's murderous voice had become less and less frequent. In the past few months, Seiber could no longer hear Seiber's voice. But now, this beast had been awakened once again.
"Our brother's life is still unknown. He still has a daughter who is waiting for him to come home! Kevin, tell me, what caused all of this? "
This question did not make any sense, but Kevin knew what Saber was asking. He lowered his head and said, "It's not revenge.
"It's not revenge. We haven't had any conflicts with anyone recently, and it's not the doing of those gangs either. The people who went there today were all representatives of at least one faction. There's also the new boss of the reestablished Gambor Gang. They couldn't possibly be this crazy. So … this should be just an accident."
He turned to look at his brother lying in the room. There was a trace of pain in his eyes. When Saber asked him to form a gang, Sergues was the first friend he pulled over. This brutish Russian was very poor at the time. It was difficult for him to protect his daughter on a narrow island and maintain their livelihood. Later, The Devil Gang grew bigger and bigger. When Sergues had money, he did not squander it like others.
He was so stingy that he saved every penny he had. While everyone else had bought houses, he was still living in a cheap apartment. Last month, he used the money he had saved to send his 14-year-old daughter to the best international college in New York. Although Sergei's actions were far from being a good person, he was definitely a reliable father and a trustworthy brother.
He could handle everything that Kevin was worried about. Kevin also knew that even though Sergues's work was shady, he had always been grateful to Kevin and Saber for giving him hope to change his daughter's future. He was the absolute center of The Devil Gang.
He pursed his lips.
"I will find that bastard! I will throw him into the sea, I swear! "
"How?"
Saber heard something different from Kevin's tone. He looked at his brother. The latter looked left and right and lowered his voice.
"Two months ago, Gordon came to find me. He wanted to use our relationship to get to the bottom of the Gotham Mob. He wanted to empty all the liquid funds of the Gotham Mob in one go. Therefore, the money that we sent over for the past two months has been 'tampered' with. If we are lucky enough, a portion of the money in that bastard's hands should be traceable."
Kevin took a deep breath. He clenched his fists in his pockets.
"I will go track him now. I swear, I will …"
"I will go."
Saber put his hand on Kevin's shoulder.
"I know that you don't like all the gangs. I know that you want to make Gotham a better place. Since you have already started this, don't expose it. Don't give up halfway. I will deal with it in my own name. You and Gordon continue to do what you are supposed to do."
Saber's fingers moved and made 'ka ka' sounds. He led Kevin and Catherine out of the hospital. He sat in the car and lit up a cigarette. He looked back at the cold light shining on the wall of the hospital. After a few seconds, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and drove to the villa with a normal expression.
However, be it Kathlyn or Kevin, both of them could guess that Gotham would be exceptionally 'lively' that night.
"Vroom"
In the middle of the night, the low sound of an engine sounded in the alleys of the docks. A moment later, a black, modified heavy motorcycle carrying a dark red rider rushed into the streets of Gotham like a shadow. In just a moment, his figure disappeared into the alleys of the docks.
"Beep, beep, beep"
A small device was fixed on Saber's wrist. It looked like a Walkman, but every second, its surface would flash with light and sound. This was a special monitoring device. Kevin and Gordon did a little trick by smearing a special radioactive substance on the banknotes. It was not harmful to the human body, but it could last for a long time. Moreover, it could be easily detected by this device.
They originally wanted to find out where the money of the Gotham Mob was kept, but now, this mark became the only hope for revenge for Sergues.
After the robbery, the police did not find any useful information at the scene. The two explosions had almost completely destroyed all traces of the robbery. Of the more than 50 people present at the scene, only Sergei and the extremely lucky Mr. Hofs survived. The latter was thrown into the air by the second explosion and landed on the soft roof of a convertible car that had made an emergency stop at the time of the incident. That was how he managed to survive.
However, no one knew when he would wake up. The only useful information was that they found a bloody Joker card in Hofs' shirt.
The Clown Gang. That was their symbol. In the past few months, the Clown Gang would leave such a card at the crime scene every time they committed a crime. Just like how Zorro left a Z-shaped mark, the Clown Gang would also leave their own mark at the crime scene.
The Joker was just a small gang, and they liked to plan and carry out robberies. They rarely killed people, and this was the first time they had committed such a vicious murder. Their number was very small, and their previous forbearance had numbed the police's attention. Now that such a case had erupted in the city center, it was a resounding slap to the face of the new mayor.
Fortunately, the gang did not let down their guard against the sudden appearance of The Joker. They were afraid of seeing the rise of the next The Devil Gang. Therefore, the information that Kevin had obtained was very detailed. Their base was at the edge of Xicheng District, a place known as Lower City.
That damned place was like a second island, chaotic and lawless. It was like a natural hotbed for evil. Experience had taught us that people who endured poverty and hunger were more likely to erupt into chaos than those who lived a prosperous life. Therefore, whether a city's public security was good or bad, one could tell just by looking at the situation in the slums.
Between the old and dirty stairs, there were windows filled with clothes. Most of them were dark, but a few were dimly lit. This was probably the best feature of modern society. No matter rich or poor, the light always generously shone on everyone.
Hylik was one of these people who were thankful for the light. He was born in Lower City, and even after he grew up, he had never left this place. However, Hylik was luckier than 80% of the people living here, because this guy had his own business. Although it was just a small grocery store, he still had a stable income. Moreover, the young Hylik was not a person who followed the rules. During the night when the world was dark, he would occasionally do some illegal "business".
Poor drug addicts liked to get their "goods" from Hylik, because the considerate boss was willing to sell them even a small amount. This kind of small business, the Maloney Gang that dominated this area looked down on, but because of this small business, Hylik had amassed a large amount of savings in his 27th life.
But today, most of the drug addicts who came to Hylik to get their goods left disappointed, because the grocery store was not open today. Hylik's boss might be in a hurry, but in fact, in the innermost room of the grocery store, Hylik was sitting on the bed, looking at the blue bag in front of him in a daze.
This was something he had picked up in a small alley by the beach when he went for a walk after lunch. Out of his intuition as a grocery store owner, he brought it home, but when he opened it, Hylik was so scared that he immediately closed the store. Now, he was hesitating whether to abandon everything he had accumulated over the years and leave this country.
To the other side of the world!
This was not a dream Hylik, because in front of him, the blue bag was the size of a sleeping bag, but it was filled with neatly folded green bills.
"How much is this?"
Hylik could not help but pinch himself. After realizing that this was not a dream, he shakily picked up the marijuana at the bedside, intending to smoke one to calm down. Although there were always idiots who claimed that marijuana was not a drug, Hylik, who had been dealing with these things since he opened his grocery store, clearly knew the power of this thing.
Therefore, if it was not a critical moment, he would not touch this thing.
Hylik allowed his spirit to become more and more relaxed in this special state. He reached out and took a stack of bills from his pocket, put it in front of his nose and sniffed. The smell of ink made him feel more and more like he was in heaven. He threw the bills in his hand into the sky, as crazy as a scene in a movie. Under the rain of bills, Hylik happily muttered to himself.
"Ah, even if I die … I will be satisfied."
Well, as we all know, God, or something similar, is a great being who likes to joke. Therefore, in the next moment, he satisfied Hylik's humble wish.
"Bang!"
The tightly closed window was violently kicked open, the broken glass flew in all directions in the room, scratching Hylik's body. He screamed in pain, but as a result, his neck was grabbed by a dark red whirlwind and fiercely smashed into the wall behind him.
Hylik swore that at the moment of collision, he felt that his neck was about to break.
The rain of bills in the room flew in all directions under the impact. Hylik opened his eyes, what came into view was a twisted dark red ghost face. In the special senses brought by the marijuana, he felt like he was being strangled by a devil.
"I beg you! Don't kill me! Save me! Save me! "
Hylik panicked and shouted, "This money is all for you! Take it away! Quickly take it away! Don't kill me! "
"Where is he?"
Saber glanced at this cowardly guy, he did not think that this guy was the one who planned all this. However, the monitoring device on his arm issued an urgent alarm, obviously, this was the place where the bills were.
He grabbed Hylik's neck with both hands and lifted him up from the ground. His voice was distorted by the voice changer, and it reverberated in the poor grocery store owner's ears.
"Tell me! Where is he? "
"Who, who is he? I … I don't know! "
Saber coldly looked at this bastard in front of him, he swung his hands and threw Hylik to the ground. His left hand gently drew a silver, palm-sized, capsule shaped metal object into his palm. He roughly grabbed Hylik's hair and placed the object in front of his nose.
The next moment, dark green gas rushed towards his face.
"Tell me … where is he … or go … die!"
