Chapter 211: A-Zu's Insincere Apology, Such a Weak God
The next day, early morning.
In Wayne Manor, Bruce and Peter's family had dinner together.
“It tastes a bit like a bunch of random things you picked up in the woods—thistles, thorns, bark, twigs—and dropped them into the liquid in the glass.”
Star-Lord commented on the taste of the drink he drank.
"But it's good. I like the taste."
"Thank you for your comment, Star-Lord."
Bruce glanced at Star-Lord's figure and said to him: "I think you should be cautious about this high-calorie drink."
He tactfully raised the issue of Star-Lord's figure.
"I think it's just right."
Star-Lord pointed at his body shape, "The one you have now has the temperament of a tough guy."
"Which tough guy are you talking about?"
"Romero, the matador in Hemingway's "Death in the Afternoon."
Star-Lord deliberately lowered his voice, imitating Romero's way of speaking, "I will never fall."
"but."
Before he could finish speaking, Clark next to him said to him: "But I remember that he is not a good person."
"Good guy?"
Star-Lord looked at Clark in surprise, "Have you read this novel, Clark?"
"Yes, I have also read "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" by Hemingway. The protagonist in it, Paro, is also a young man who longs to work in a matador's tavern."
"But the end of the story is that Enrique, another boy who was washing dishes in the tavern, thought that Paco's bullfighting skills were not practical. 'Everyone thinks bullfighting is fun, but you will be scared when the time comes.' Paco Paco was not convinced, so they started a bullfight in the hotel using table legs with knives tied to them to simulate bull horns. In the end, Paco accidentally missed and was stabbed in the vital part with a knife, and died. "
Star-Lord frowned after hearing Clark's words, "Is this the end?"
"Yes, it's over."
"This is so rushed, what's the point of it?"
Clark put down the tableware in his hand and said to Star-Lord: "The meaning is that courage is not naturally righteous, and courage without thinking is likely to bring destruction."
As he spoke, Clark turned his attention to Peter who was eating next to him, "Godfather, am I right?"
Seeing Clark drawing the flames of war, Peter looked at him speechlessly.
Are you, a boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, so insidious?
Before Peter could express his opinion, Star-Lord looked at Clark in surprise, "I was just discussing tough guys, not reckless courage. Clark, you are completely off topic."
"Sorry, that's all I thought about."
Clark shrugged.
Loki next to him said, "Clark is now obsessed with critical literature. Because of Lana's incident, he has become cynical."
"Hey, Loki."
Hearing Loki mention Lana, Clark cast his dissatisfied gaze over, "This has nothing to do with Lana."
"Sorry, that's all I thought about."
Loki spoke the way Clark did.
Clark suddenly wanted to hit someone.
Bruce, who was sitting far away from the two of them, looked at the three people who kept talking, and looked at each other with Alfred.
He suddenly felt a little sorry for Peter.
These children are all "father-worried ones"!
"Quiet!"
Peter, who finally couldn't stand it anymore, shouted loudly to several people.
"If you are full, you can go out and play a bullfighting game to see who is the last tough guy."
Seeing Peter being angry, the three Star-Lords immediately shut their mouths and started eating.
After suppressing several people, Peter swallowed the delicious food and took a deep breath.
It's so early in the morning, can't these naughty kids make themselves feel better?
The day passed quickly, and after Loki's investigation, he had already identified his target.
"After my investigation, Gotham is divided roughly like this. Penguin is responsible for selling arms, Black Mask is responsible for producing drugs, and there are also Falcone, the four major families, etc."
Loki and Azu walked on the streets at night together, and Loki revealed the information he had found.
"How did you find out?"
Azu looked at the other party in surprise, wondering why the other party knew so much inside information.
"It's simple. I found it at the Gotham Police Department."
"Police station? How did you get in?"
Azu was a little confused.
Loki had transformed into a young man at this time, and he casually said to Azu: "You go in openly, just like this."
In Azu's shocked eyes, Loki transformed into the image of Gordon.
Azu: "Well, I forgot that you can transform."
Loki shrugged, then changed from Gordon to Clark, then to Star-Lord, and finally to Bruce.
"Can you change back?"
Seeing Loki's change, Azu frowned and said to him: "We are going to do business now."
"sure."
Rocky immediately transformed into the image of young Rocky again, "It seems that you are not very interested in watching the drag show."
Azu said to Loki with a black line on his head: "Okay, Loki, let's stop the irrelevant matters. Where should we start next?"
An hour later.
Iceberg Restaurant.
The Penguin, wearing a top hat and a tuxedo, is on the phone with a client in the office on the second floor.
Although the Iceberg Restaurant is a restaurant in name, it is a cover he uses to cover up a series of illegal financial activities such as money laundering for the underground world.
As the boss of the Iceberg Restaurant, Penguin was born in the Cobblepot family, one of the four major families in Gotham City.
Although he is short, he is cunning and very good at bird training. What's more amazing is that any bird can be easily tamed by him. These birds are distributed in every corner of Gotham City and even all over the United States, as a tool for him to collect intelligence and transmit messages.
In addition, because his father died of pneumonia in the rain when he was a child, he always carries an umbrella with him. In the umbrella he uses, there are all kinds of deadly weapons and equipment, which makes opponents defenseless.
As the underworld boss of Gotham City, the smart and cunning Penguin has always been one of Batman's most difficult enemies.
Of course, Penguin has not fought with Batman yet.
After hanging up the phone, before he had time to light his cigar, he heard his men report to him: Black Mask's drug-making chemical factory was robbed.
"You said Black Mask was robbed?!" Penguin widened his eyes and asked in disbelief.
"Yes, sir, it happened half an hour ago."
"Who did it?!"
"I don't know, but according to the news, there are only two people on the other side."
"Just two people."
The Penguin Man immediately lost his composure, "How is this possible? Who are they?"
"It is said that one of the guys claims to be a god."
"God?!"
The Penguin Man opened his mouth wide.
At the same time, downstairs.
The Iceberg Restaurant was closed at this time, and all the people inside were Penguin Man's men.
At this time, his men were staring blankly at Loki standing on the stage.
The young man, Loki in a green robe, stood on it with a huge staff and looked down at everyone.
The staff flashed with a strange light, which hurt everyone's eyes.
Although it looked impressive, in fact, this staff was a branch he picked up on the roadside, engraved with some runes, and added some sleight of hand to bluff the gangsters.
Seeing Loki's arrogance, some gangsters in the audience raised their guns and wanted to shoot Loki.
"Bang!"
Without waiting for the opponent's bullet to be fired, the magic in Loki's "staff" shot towards the opponent's body.
The gangster who was unable to react was directly shot away by the magic shot by the staff, fell heavily to the ground, and spit out blood from his mouth.
"I am the king of Asgard, the son of Padrick, and the god who rules over you mortals. Now, kneel down!"
The last word "kneel down", Loki's tone became heavier, shaking everyone's heart.
Many people were shocked by his powerful words and couldn't help kneeling down to him.
There were also many gangsters ready to fight back.
Just then, the Penguin Man came down from upstairs and saw Loki holding the staff.
Handing the cigar to the bunny girl next to him, the Penguin Man walked down and asked Loki: "Who are you? Why are you here to make trouble?"
The Penguin Man, who is used to big scenes, will not be shocked by Loki.
Loki yelled at the Penguin: "I am the god who rules you. Why don't you kneel down when you see me? Mortal!"
"I don't believe in God. You can't order my people here."
As soon as the Penguin finished speaking, Loki raised his staff and shot at him.
The startled Penguin quickly dodged to the side.
With a "bang", the magic energy hit the stairs behind the Penguin, smashing the wooden stairs.
"You idiot, I'm a god!"
Loki cursed at the Penguin.
The next second, with a "bang", Azu broke through the glass and fell heavily on the stage.
The powerful impact instantly shattered the floor.
Because Azu deliberately did not restrain his strength, the powerful impact burst out instantly.
Loki, who was closest to him, was directly blown away by the shock wave.
Loki only felt that time was slowed down, and everything in front of him was stopped.
With the sawdust all over the sky, his body flew out diagonally uncontrollably.
He wanted to grab something, but he could only watch his body fly away like a baseball.
With a "bang", time returned to normal, and Loki fell heavily to the ground on his back.
With his eyes fixed on the ceiling, he gasped for breath, and the staff in his hand flew out instantly.
After completing the landing action, Azu looked at Loki lying on the ground and shook his head, "What a weak god."
The Penguin Man and others were completely stunned.
They only saw Loki being smashed and flew out after announcing that he was a god.
The sudden change caught everyone off guard.
"Sorry, I landed too fast and didn't control the strength for a while."
Azu raised his hand and apologized to Loki with his head tilted back.
After apologizing without sincerity, Azu turned his eyes to the Penguin Man and others.
"Hey, guys, you must not mind if I borrow something."
