Winston glanced at her with a half-smile and agreed.

The short-haired female police officer was agile. She put one hand on the car window and tilted her head slightly to look at the traffic on the street.

The sun is still not visible at noon in Gotha. Dark clouds are crowding the sky, and high-rise buildings have already filled up the sky.

"Most people live at the bottom of this building," Winston said. "They can only see so much sky, so it's human nature to do everything in our power to climb up."

The woman in the passenger seat said calmly, "I don't know what you are talking about."

Winston chuckled: "I was once like you. I wanted to change Gotham."

The woman's eyes fell on him.

"I was full of ambition... Cotam is my home, and I came back here to do something," he suddenly felt the urge to confess, "but at that time, I didn't cling to the current mayor."

The passenger in the co-pilot frowned: "In your eyes, am I the mayor's man?"

Winston smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter. Mayor Alec wants to make political achievements, but she touched the interests of the court and is doomed to fail. Why not try to become a court member instead of a mayor? The court can give you more than the mayor can give you."

The woman seemed silent. From this angle, her violet eyes seemed to have turned black.

"Owl Court? Can I think this is a solicitation for me?" The newly appointed superintendent said as the car drove onto the highway and the traffic around him gradually became thinner. "Why should I not trust the current mayor, but trust the hidden forces?"

Winston was not angry: "If you insist on standing on the other side of the court, you will lose your life."

My life is worthless, Weiwei thought.

【Owl Court】

[The dark forces hidden in the darkness of Gotan are able to manipulate the appointment and dismissal of officials, and have armed forces and huge amounts of money]

Weiwei's expression gradually became suspicious. She opened the system panel, stopped at the character "Winston", and chose [Dismiss].

A few seconds later, Winston's phone rang.

"What? Fired, wait, I'm sure this was an accident... you must have made a mistake! Who signed this... no, wait, I need to contact-"

He paused for a moment and glanced at the woman sitting next to him with her hands crossed: "Wait a moment, I'm going to answer a call."

Weiwei pulled him back from the "Newly Fired Employees" area and restored him to his original position.

Winston, who was answering the phone, had a frozen expression on his face. Half a minute later, he returned to the car and started it quickly.

Weiwei: “What happened?”

"It was just a little accident," the man sneered, "just an accident."

It's just like back then in Blackgate Prison...it was the same with that fat warden. Anyone on Vivi's employee list, including those bribed by the Owl Court, could be fired.

It is obvious that the mayor can give more than the court.

Facing Weiwei's half-smile, Winston wiped the sweat from his head and said, "Let's get back to the topic, Ms. Bettywin, would you like to consider my suggestion? Whether you really want to save Gotham," he smiled, "or want a promotion and a raise, it's no use following the mayor."

"But you transferred me to Blackgate Prison," Weiwei said with dissatisfaction, "So can you transfer me to another department? I don't want to spend my old age in prison. SWAT is good."

The current SWAT chief's expression froze: "I think you're kidding?"

Weiwei regained her expressionless face and suddenly asked, "Will the people I arrested be sent to Blackgate Prison?"

The car has entered Diamond Avenue and the Iceberg Restaurant is right in front of us.

Winston said coldly, "That's the job of the GCPD, isn't it? Blackgate Prison is only responsible for receiving prisoners."

The two got out of the car, the waiter of Iceberg Restaurant went to park the car, and they entered the restaurant under the guidance of another waiter.

As soon as she opened the door, she heard the gentle sound of a violin. Weiwei couldn't hear anything, but Winston adjusted his tie, smiled and said to her, "It seems that the Iceberg Restaurant is not doing well. The violinist we invited played a wrong note."

Weiwei looked at him silently without saying anything.

The two of them sat at a two-person table in the middle of the restaurant. The man knocked on the table and frowned: "Don't you want to turn on the lights?"

The waiter said, "The restaurant is not doing well, sir, so we will only turn on a few lights."

Winston was not satisfied: "Forget it, serve the food."

The lights above were dim, creating a hazy atmosphere. Winston suddenly asked, "Do you think the Iceberg Restaurant is now the mayor's business? Our mayor doesn't have that many people at his disposal."

Weiwei looked at him silently: The Iceberg Restaurant is certainly not in the mayor's hands now.

——Before the Penguin Man was imprisoned, he handed over the industry to C, and "C" asked them not to act rashly for the time being.

No one knows who leaked the news, but the Owl Court obviously knows that the current Iceberg Restaurant has nothing to do with the mayor.

Winston looked at Vivi as if he was looking at a fly struggling on a spider web. Coincidentally, Vivi looked at him the same way.

He suddenly asked, "Is it your chef who served the meal?"

"Yes," the waiter glanced at the muscular man pushing the table, "We laid off a lot of people, so the chef has to take on more work. Fortunately, there are not many customers."

Winston frowned: Isn't this logic wrong?

At this moment, the violinist's hand slipped and produced a long and harsh note. Winston looked unbearable. His family background was obviously good, which could be seen from the way he handled things. The violinist made such a mistake, but he did not curse at him. It was all because of his upbringing.

"violin……"

But how could a truly educated person become an accomplice of the Owl Court?

The next second, the sound of bullets being loaded could be heard all around.

The sound of the bow was like a horn, and the entire lifeless Iceberg Restaurant came alive in an instant. Vivi raised her hands in surrender, and Winston reacted quickly enough. He immediately drew his gun and wanted to kick over the waiter next to him as a hostage, but he was hit twice by the "chef" and pressed on the table.

"What does C want to do?" His face turned green and he spoke quickly.

Vivi surrendered quickly enough without suffering any injuries, except that someone put a gun to her head, and Winston was punched in the stomach just after he asked this question.

"I'm sorry," although she knew everything, Weiwei still had to ask, "Can I ask what happened?"

The staff from the Iceberg Restaurant surrounded the two men. The violinist, who had colorful red hair, came over and waved his hands to tell them to stop beating Winston.

"Congratulations, both of you. Because the business is no longer viable, the boss has decided to lead us to transform. You are the last wave of customers before the transformation, and you have received our big gift package for transformation——"

While Winston was on the phone, Vivi was also messaging the current owner of the Iceberg Restaurant as "C".

The Penguin Man was arrested, but even if Weiwei used the system to control the Penguin Man, it was impossible for him to order so many people who depended on him to go to jail. Not all of them had their intelligence reduced.

So she asked the penguin people to appease them and handed the power over to C.

However, C is currently controlling these people with fear: Mr. C, who has never appeared, has shown his miraculous power, but he does not have enough prestige. At least 1/3 of the Penguin Man's men have switched to other gangs in Gotan, but some have stayed.

Weiwei now knows that NPCs need to eat and sleep. They have their own thoughts and will change. They will be lazy when working and will cause trouble to her even when they are green.

Those who stayed did not do so out of loyalty, but because they felt that Mr. C could bring them benefits.

If we continue to suppress them, this force will inevitably be diverted elsewhere.

So Weiwei sent a short message to the leader saying:

[The underworld of Gotham has been in chaos for too long. I know why you stayed, because you all have desires... But will the penguin man still be there enough to satisfy you? Then you might as well just go and join Black Mask.]

[I also have a desire - I think we should not be a member of the gang, but the law of the entire gang. ]

【That makes the game more interesting.】

Just half a minute ago, the violinist replied to the text message tremblingly:

[Mr. C, please tell me what we should do? ]

The other person replied: "What are your specialties?"

[I, I am the person who answered your call. I can play the violin a little.]

"Then I'll call you Violin," Weiwei typed into the interface, "Our goal is to occupy the East District first, but don't use radical methods. Intuitive influence is the best solution."

[Yes, Mr. C, I thought of the recent decree issued by the mayor. Maybe we can start from that decree.]

"Okay, let's set up an installation company. The mayor is not our enemy. As long as her goal can be achieved, she will be happy to see anything happen. And... two people will come to dinner next. You can ask one of the men for interesting information."

"I'll get back to you, Violin."

If taking the right path won't accomplish Vivi's idea, then taking another path will do.

Isn't that how players act? As long as the mission is completed, no matter what method is used, Weiwei just wants to complete the main mission. Does it matter whether it is the city hall or the gang that repairs the underground of the East District?

That is, Iceberg Restaurant is going to be renamed Iceberg Construction and Installation Company.

【Fund allocation-commercial investment】——

【Established a new construction company】【Completed】

Winston half-knelt on the ground with a bruised face and nose: "You are...making enemies with the court. You will regret it!"

Weiwei still had her hands raised, looking innocent, but now she was being pointed at with a gun.

After hearing the word "court", there was a small commotion among the people around. The red-haired man "Violin" who had just been given a new code name suddenly pulled out a gun and pointed it at his partner, and the air instantly froze.

"Are you scared?" he asked, changing his tone. "Or are you scared? Or are you?"

He shot at the chandelier above his head, and the flying debris cut his face: "How ridiculous! Since you have chosen to become a gangster, why don't you throw away useless fear? We don't have the qualifications."

If they want to become the law in the underworld, if they want to rule the entire gang, then what they must defeat is the Owl Court - the current Owl Court collects tributes from the gang, and Mr. C's goal is to replace them.

——even surpass them.

This makes Violin's blood boil.

Winston was dragged away in shock. Weiwei gave him a helpless look, but at the same time——

[Take the rose from the table. Don't you think he and the rose are a perfect match? Violin, I want you to watch him eat the rose.]

The red-haired man shook his head and noticed a bright red rose lying on the dining table.

He held the rose with a smile and looked at Weiwei: "You can leave now, lady, be a smart person."

Weiwei tapped the corner of her lips as a gesture.

“Gotham is such a dangerous city,” she sighed as she stood outside the Iceberg Restaurant. “And it’s expensive.”

["Crazy Gotan" Rose, priced at 40,000 gold coins]

[A rose with a crazy and rich aroma. Just smelling the scent of this rose will make you fall into a passionate loyalty to you, but the loyalty will dissipate along with the aroma, and only the passion will not cool down, unless you can think of some other use? ]

【You are C, Bella, Anna, and yourself. 】

【There is only one rose in the entire rose garden, so the price is very high. 】

The dimly lit Iceberg Restaurant is enveloped in the scent of roses.

Violin smelled the roses and walked towards Winston.
