Chapter 70 The Falcone Family
To be honest, Carmine is very dissatisfied with the current mayor.
This guy took money from the Falcone family, but he always favored that bastard Maroni, which made him very angry.
As the head of Gotham City's largest gang, Carmine's anger means someone is about to suffer.
"Tell me your thoughts, Cobblestone."
Carmine exhaled a puff of smoke and gestured for the Penguin to explain his plans. "I don't want any accidents to cause any trouble for the family."
Carmine is always cautious, and he was in a fit of anger just now, so he didn't think too much about it.
As soon as he said this, he realized he was being swayed by his emotions, so he decided to check out Copport's plans.
If this guy's plan is feasible, let him carry it out; if it's not feasible, then of course we'll make him come up with a new plan.
As for why Alberto Falcone was involved in this, it was obviously to pave the way for his son.
Coppert played a significant role in the Falcone family's current success, and his contributions are widely recognized.
It was for this reason that Carmine brought him into the Falcone family, making him ostensibly a member of the family.
However, no matter what, bloodline is the most important bond that holds a family together.
Although Copport made great contributions to the family, he did not have the blood of the Falcone family flowing through his veins.
Carmine is getting old; it's time to think about who will succeed him in the family business.
"Okay, boss."
The Penguin smiled at Carmine, picked up his top hat and fiddled with it in his hand. "Now, everyone in Gotham, no one of any standing, knows that guy and Maroney are in cahoots."
Wouldn't it be quite unexpected if that guy were taken down by his staunch ally, Maroney, at this point?
The penguin smiled and told Carmine about his plan.
"Kill the mayor? Maronny would have to be insane to do that!"
Carmine frowned. "While this is the most advantageous situation for us, Maronny isn't crazy. How could he possibly do this?"
"Cobbler, just tell me your plans directly. You know I don't like guessing games!"
Carmine was very unhappy with the penguin's pretentious behavior, but because of his contributions to the family, he couldn't scold him too harshly.
The penguin turned his head, a fleeting look of displeasure crossing his face.
"My plan is very simple."
The Penguin turned his head, his expression returning to normal. "If that guy is killed by Maroney's most loyal henchman, it's the same as being killed by Maroney himself."
The Penguin stated his plan directly, and under Carmine's questioning gaze, he clapped his hands lightly.
"Please come in, Mr. Wild Bull!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the office door was pushed open from the outside, and a tall black man walked in.
If Li Wei were here, he would recognize the guy who walked in as He Mang, whom he had severely punished.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Carmine and Mr. Cobb."
He Mang stood behind Copeport and nodded to the two of them as a greeting.
"If I remember correctly, you're one of Maronny's men."
Carmine pointed at He Mang in the air, then turned to the Penguin. "Cobbler, what's going on? I need an explanation."
"Boss, as you can see, standing before us now is Mr. Bull, Maroni's most trusted subordinate."
The Penguin smiled and looked at Carmine. "Maroni actually dares to go against the great Falcone family. Mr. Bull thinks he must have lost his mind, so he wants to abandon the darkness and join the light."
As for what we need to do, Mr. Mang Niu is willing to take charge personally.
"Mr. Carmine, Mr. Cobbett is exactly what I meant."
He Mang stepped forward and pledged his loyalty to Carmine, saying, "Maroni has done a lot of wrong things, and I can't follow him down the same path."
I'm still young, I don't want to become rotten flesh in the sewers along with him.
After pledging his loyalty, He Mang looked intently at Carmine, like a fervent follower.
"So, you're thinking of betraying Maronny?"
Carmine remained expressionless, completely unaffected by He Mang. "Maroni may be a jerk, but as far as I know, he seems to treat you quite well."
With a disdainful glance at He Mang, Carmine immediately labeled him a 'traitor' in his mind.
He couldn't trust someone who might betray him at any moment.
"Mr. Carmine, I did not betray Maronny; I simply want him to get back on the right track."
He Mang said, "If you want to harm Mr. Maroney, I certainly won't allow it..."
Before he could finish speaking, a mocking smile appeared on Carmine's face.
I stubbed out the cigar in the ashtray, leaned back on the sofa, and immediately closed my eyes to rest.
"Alright, Mr. Wild Bull, you can go out now."
Penguin waved to He Mang, "Could you please go outside and wait for a while? I have some things to discuss with Mr. Carmine alone."
Upon hearing Penguin's words, He Mang paused for a moment, then said nothing and turned to leave the office.
Neither the Penguin nor Carmine noticed the bulging veins on his hand when he closed the door.
"Cotterpad, you know what kind of person I hate the most!"
Hearing the door close, Carmine sat up straight on the sofa. "Why didn't you consult me beforehand if you were going to use this kind of traitor! Do you even respect me as your leader?!"
Hearing Carmine's stern tone, the penguin's face showed alarm.
He put down his top hat and bowed respectfully to Carmine, though a barely perceptible ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
"Boss, I did all this for the benefit of the family."
The penguin's voice choked with emotion, "If you don't believe me, I'm willing to hand over all my businesses."
My thinking is simple: as long as that guy Mang Niu can be used by us, it doesn't matter who he is.
The key point is that once he achieves our goal, Maroni will definitely be surrounded and attacked by the police.
At this point, it would be incredibly easy for the Falcone family to step in and consolidate Gotham's underground forces.
Everything I did was for the family, I hope you can forgive me this time...
"Hmph! Considering you're also thinking of the family, I'll let this matter go."
Carmine took out a cigar and gently cut off the end. "If it's just about using this guy, I agree to your plan."
As for handing over the business, let's not talk about that anymore.
Now that I've accepted you as a member of the Falcone family, I certainly won't go back on my word. So please refrain from saying such meaningless things again.
After giving the Penguin a few sarcastic remarks, Carmine lit a cigar and gestured for him to leave.
After the Penguin left the office, Carmine leaned back on the sofa, feeling melancholy.
If it weren't for the fact that his only son, Alberto, was utterly useless, the prestigious Falcone family would never have accepted a guy who looked like a penguin.
Thinking of his two children, even as the underground emperor of Gotham, Carmine couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
