Weiwei had to admit that penguins were good at digging holes.

She used magic to defeat magic, and successfully let the Penguin Man take over Black Mask's industry. Especially since Black Mask himself had disappeared from prison, the entire force was leaderless. The Penguin Man was a famous businessman in Gotham, so if they wanted to deal with him from a businessman's perspective, he was just the right person.

On the phone, he told Weiwei in a flattering tone what she had gained——

Sionis Steel, Sionis Pharmaceuticals Group, and some of Roman Sionis's personal fixed assets. The only thing he failed to take over was Roman's bank, because there were more than one investor. If he touched the bank, he might become enemies with other shareholders.

However, these alone have made Weiwei's fixed assets suddenly rich.

After completing this part of the mission, the Penguin Man heard from somewhere about the miserable plight of his "former colleagues" in Blackgate Prison. After learning from his mistakes - mainly because he no longer had souls in his hands - he decided to completely side with Vivi.

Penguin Man was born into the Cobblepot family, but was discriminated against because of his body shape and appearance. His goal has always been to become a respected person. If wealth cannot make people respect him, then fear will be used. Therefore, among the gangs, he is also a lawful evil businessman.

Everything he does is to climb up, and he doesn't care which innocent corpses are trampled under his feet.

If the mayor had not fallen from the sky, the penguin man's ultimate goal would have been to become the new mayor through election.

However, now that even a normal life is difficult, he has learned from his mistakes and decided that it would be nice to be Mr. C's lackey.

After all... the mayor himself seems to be one of Mr. C's lackeys?

"Cooperation? Not necessarily," he thought. "People with extraordinary powers will only cooperate with people with equal power. Can Alec subdue Mr. C? Rather than cooperation, Alec is more likely to be Mr. C's puppet?"

He collected information through birds and watched TV programs to confirm the appearance of the girl who was with Alec when the Wayne Memorial was knocked down. He then verified it with the information collected from the violin and confirmed that this girl named "Vivian White" was the favorite child of the adult who possessed his soul.

——And this is a little girl who likes to play hero role-playing games.

"Besides that, I have one more thing I need to report to you separately..." Once the penguin man lowers his limit, he can truly have no limit. "It concerns the safety of Gotham. It comes from your loyal servant Oswald."

Sure enough, after hearing his report, Weiwei on the other end of the phone did not think he was overstepping his authority. She said, "Okay, I'll come over and take a look."

She used her trumpet to confirm that Poison Ivy had accepted the mission of transplanting roses and planting street trees, warned her not to cause panic by changing her appearance, and then introduced the Chief of Logistics to the other party, saying that this was a botanical expert invited from other cities.

Let go of the trembling director of logistics. The next task did not require Vivi. They just had to transplant trees from warehouses and manors. It was pure hard labor.

She sent Trumpet back to prison and resumed her role as mayor.

Penguin Man wants to talk to her? Sure.

…

siennis pharmaceutical group.

Sherk was directing the secretarial team to sort out the documents. The Finance Department and the Secretarial Department of the City Hall were all busy. They cleared out the upper management of the company and used some gray area methods to drive the people belonging to the black mask out of the group. However, it would take a few days to complete the formal handover.

During this time, the penguin man leisurely poured a glass of red wine and poured one for Sherk as well: "Mr. Benoloff? Don't you want to have a drink to celebrate?"

Sherk looked at him coldly.

"Banolov?" The penguin man opened a document on the table. "Come to think of it, one of the shareholders of this company is named Benolov. Is that right, Mr. Benolov, the illegitimate son?"

Sherk, from Crime Alley, his prostitute mother hooked up with Black Mask's henchmen and gave birth to him in an attempt to defraud the other party of their money, but the stupid woman was killed swiftly.

He grew up without a father or a mother, and was eventually recruited by Black Mask's men at a young age. His talents were discovered, and he even stepped on his biological father to stand by Black Mask's side - not everyone in the "Mask Society" has the opportunity to obtain a mask given by Black Mask.

This gave him the opportunity to become a decent person, a powerful secretary in the city hall, and he almost became the deputy mayor.

Until Anna Elle arrived and changed everything.

A few years ago, Sherk would never have imagined that he would be like a kind and upright good man, overthrow his father with his own hands, reduce the influence of Black Mask, and give the woman what he once desired.

As for Anna Elle, he could see that this woman might not give him a good ending.

But...does it matter?

The door was pushed open and everyone moved to the edge. Faint figures were reflected on the glass door. Then someone opened a door and walked in. There were four people crammed into the chairman's office.

Sherk paused, nodded to Mayor Anna, and glanced at the girl she was holding.

——Anna never explained who she was, but she would always show her preference for girls whenever they were around.

The simplest one is physical contact.

The two of them don't look alike at all.

The penguin man also stood up and nodded to Vivi with a smile. He did not show any coldness towards the mayor, but he still made a clear distinction in attitude - what a shrewd guy!

Weiwei glanced around the lounge, then asked Xiaohao to sit at the head of the room: "Cobert, go sit in the lounge for a while. Sherk, don't you have something to report?"

After she finished speaking, Weiwei waved her hand with a smile and walked towards the lounge before the penguin.

Now it was Sherk's turn to report to the mayor, and the penguin man's turn to report to Vivi. She wanted to see what the penguin wanted to say.

In the lounge, Penguin Man: "Ms. Weiwei..."

Weiwei took a step back to avoid his overly enthusiastic courtesy, with a cold expression - in fact, it was not convenient to make subtle expressions in the double-sided version: "If you have something to say, please say it quickly!"

In the office, Sherk lowered his head and reported to the mayor how they had caught the shareholders' vitals and how they had suppressed all the shareholders through a series of threats and inducements that could not be told to outsiders. But as he reported, he found that the mayor's expression was indifferent... That's right, the mayor's wife might have known what they had done a long time ago.

...Sherke thought she actually knew everything.

Now the mayor has more and more people under him, but Sherk is not able to participate in them - for example, there is no place for him in the new parliament! This makes him feel very crisis... Sherk knows that he participated in the murder but was let go by the mayor because of his talent, just like he was discovered by Black Mask because of his talent, and one day, he will be forgotten by the crowd.

"Ms. Alec," Sherk said, "it's dangerous to let criminals work for you. We can find a way to send them to other prisons, not Blackgate Prison, but prisons in other cities... Cities that have the death penalty can legally send people away by simply modifying the criminal records of the criminals."

"Miss Weiwei," the penguin said, "I can help you find more value in the prisoners. Many of my subordinates are also good at management. I promise that under my leadership, they will be more loyal and work for you and for the gentleman behind you..."

After listening to the Penguin Man's report, Weiwei smiled and asked, "Anything else?"

The penguin man showed a look of astonishment. He hesitated for a moment and heard the man in front of him say:

"I own your soul. If I need you to work for me, there is no need to send your people to jail in the first place," Weiwei said with a smile, "If your gang is still there, wouldn't I be able to gain more wealth? I sent you to jail because you deserve to serve your sentence—"

"Oswald Cobblepot," she stood up and approached the penguin man, who was about the same height as her, "you committed a crime, so you should serve your sentence. There is no possibility of any reduction in sentence, and there is no room for maneuver. Criminals should serve their sentences. It is only natural. Even if you want to work for me now, you must always remember that you are a criminal."

And when the laws in Gotham are changed and the death penalty is restored, she will give each of these criminals a cute bullet!

On the other side, Sherk found that the mayor was silent, and he whispered: "If only Batman would kill those criminals..."

"It's not Batman's responsibility to kill criminals, that would only make him a criminal, and it's not the responsibility of other cities," the mayor said calmly. "That's my responsibility."

"You will continue to be responsible for the next task," the woman stood up, "cooperate with other departments and support them in completing the tasks I have assigned them."

She decided there was nothing more to talk about and it was time to leave.

At the same time, Weiwei also avoided the penguin man and tried to open the door of the lounge. The penguin man took a step forward and seemed to have made up his mind: "Wait, miss, I have one more thing to say."

"What really makes Black Mask so profitable is not his overt industries," the Penguin Man closed the door and whispered, "It's the drug trade!"

Outside the door, across the wall, Sherk also stopped the mayor and said, "Black Mask has been controlling the drugs on the black market in Gotham for many years—"

Penguin: "Black Mask's drug business is bigger than mine, and his connections are very deep. We haven't found out his supply route, but he has been operating a drug manufacturing industry..."

Sherk: "Penguin Man might know something. After all, he once worked with Black Mask. We haven't been able to find the real drug production site of Black Mask. The pharmaceutical company makes drugs for him, but he certainly won't produce them on a large scale here—"

Penguin: "The mayor's secretary, Sherk, his biological father is a Black Mask man, he must know a lot of inside information. Black Mask is also a drug supplier to other cities, and even exports drugs overseas. If there is clear evidence to identify him, we can find a way to extradite him abroad and sentence him to death abroad-"

Sherk: "It is recommended to extract a confession from the Penguin Man."

Penguin: "That little bastard Sergei Benolov is definitely a suspect!"

Weiwei &Xiaohao: "..."

How about...you two have a fight first?
