Chapter 9 Ozwald



It was around 3pm, and there were no guests in the Iceberg Club. Only a series of Italian gangsters gathered in the venue to flirt with prostitutes.

Unlike the thugs of other small gangs, the Italians are the most dominant gang in Gotham. Even the small thugs among them are often generous and very popular with prostitutes.

It doesn't matter who you play with. Before waiting for those customers at night, most prostitutes don't care about making extra money from the thugs.

Even if some thugs who like to pretend to be cool just like to play for free, being fucked by them will provide prostitutes with extra sense of security, so why not.

In such a cheerful atmosphere, members of the Sabatino family who started a war with the Russian gang today rushed over.

Suddenly, a clear distinction appeared in the Iceberg Club.

Although all the thugs present were of Italian descent, they could all be called the men of the Pharaoh Falcone.

But in fact, there are different factions within them.

Sal Maroni, Johnny Sabatino, Fish Mooney.

The three of them are the three bosses in the Italian mafia group second only to Falcone.

On weekdays, the three of them are closely united beside Falcone, suppressing and leading the black and white worlds of Gotham with their common identity of Italian ethnicity.

But privately, they are not a monolithic entity, especially as Falcone gets older, the struggle between the three Italian bosses is gradually intensifying.

As for Ozwald Cobblepot, who is now in charge of the Iceberg Club, he is not even of Italian ethnicity.

This little brother who was just an umbrella for Fish Mooney two years ago, through the open and secret struggles between Fish and Maroni, successfully became the fourth boss-level figure under Falcone.

The sudden rise of Ozwald also made more voices of desire for chaos and progress appear in the Italian family that was once firmly held in the hands of Falcone.

But no matter what, up to now, only Ozwald has succeeded in taking the position.

After successfully winning the job of managing the Iceberg Club for Falcone, Ozwald had already replaced all the people in the club with his own people.

Therefore, when the Iceberg Club was not officially open during the day, most of the thugs in it followed Ozwald.

But now, after the arrival of the Sabatino family, who had just experienced a war and were in urgent need of venting, the scene naturally became a little stiff.

Upon learning that the Sabatini family had arrived, Ozwald rushed over with a smile.

From a distance, he opened his hands to Johnny Sabatino, the leader.

"Johnny, I've heard good news about you.

The Dimitrov family was beaten like shit by you. For at least three months, they dare not interfere with our port again."

"Of course, those Russians will not be my opponents. Falcone's decisions are always so rational. I am their natural enemy!"

Sabatino and Ozwald seemed to be about to hug each other, but in the process of hugging, Sabatino suddenly stopped his action and sneered at Ozwald who was paused there.

"Damn it, I actually forgot to squat!

Ozwald, hugging you always requires bending over. This posture makes me feel like I'm going to hug a dwarf.

Falcone should send you to deal with the Dimitrov family, because your short and limping appearance can directly make them laugh to death!"

Speaking of this, Sabatino turned around and waved to his men, indicating that they should look at Ozwald.

"You guys come and see, this guy walks with a limp, doesn't he look like a penguin?

Except that he's a little thinner, I don't need to watch the Arctic episode of Animal World when I see him!

What, you said penguins are in the South Pole, not the North Pole?

No no no, penguins are in the fucking Iceberg Club, hahahahaha!!!"

Accompanied by Sabatino's arrogant laughter, Ozwald didn't change his smile at all.

Behind him, his men couldn't help but raise their pistols, but Ozwald raised his hand to stop them.

Facing Sabatino's arrogant smile, Ozwald grinned, and then nodded elegantly like an aristocrat.

"Let penguins manage icebergs, is there anything more correct in the world than this?"

Sabatino, as you said, Mr. Falcone is always so wise.

Because his decisions have never been wrong, it's me who manages here, not you! "

After the words fell, Ozwald raised his hands and separated the index and middle fingers of his right hand.

He took the cigar and cigar cutter handed over by his subordinates respectively, and while cutting the cigar elegantly, Ozwald continued to speak to Sabatino.

"Mocking me, provoking me, so what do you want to prove, to prove that Mr. Falcone did something wrong?

You should have believed in Mr. Falcone as much as I do. I feel sorry for you, Sabatino!"

"Tsk, sharp-tongued trash, everyone knows that you have been selling out on both sides to get to where you are today.

No matter how nice you say, do you think Falcone will really treat you as a confidant?

Especially after you betrayed Maroni and Fish in succession?

You are a fucking target, and only you think you are a big shot, Penguin!

The greatest luck in my life is that I have not been betrayed by you, so you'd better stay away from me!

Otherwise, your body will not appear in the bay outside the port, because I will send someone to take you back to your Antarctic, let you really take care of the iceberg, and let you be the fucking king of penguins! "

Sabatino took two steps forward unceremoniously, put his finger on Ozwald's chest and shouted.

Listening to Sabatino's words, Ozwald bit the cigar in his mouth nonchalantly and let the lighter and flame sent by his men light the cigar.

Breathe in... exhale~

After exhaling a puff of smoke, Ozwald shook his head gently.

"Sabatino, I don't believe you have been the leader of your family since birth, so who knows what you did before you succeeded?

You should know that neither you nor I will be defeated by mere words. If you are really dissatisfied with Mr. Falcone's decision and me, why not draw your gun and kill me? "

Having said this, Ozwald lightly snapped his fingers, and all the men behind him loaded their pistols and aimed at Sabatino.

At the same time, Ozwald freed his hand and patted Sabatino's arm.

"Would you like to make a bet? Just bet that I dare to shoot with you here, or... bet that your courage is not even as good as that of a penguin.

Look, I've put my chips on the table, so what's your response, Sabatino?

Are you following?

Just let me go out! "

As he finished speaking, Ozwald pulled out his pistol from behind and thrust the muzzle into Sabatino's arms.

At the same time, Sabatino's men also raised their guns and aimed at the Ozwald family.

The situation seemed about to break out, but Sabatino only waved his hand disdainfully.

"Take the gun back, you don't really believe that this penguin dares to kill me here, do you?

He may have the guts to kill me, but not here, let alone today, haha! "

While laughing, Sabatino ordered his younger brothers to put away their guns. After his younger brothers complied, he straightened his chest and took a step forward against Ozwald's gun.

"Come on, Penguin, let me see what your stud looks like. This is the Iceberg Club, and this is the Falcone family..."

"But I'm Ozwald Cobblepot!"

Bang bang bang bang! ! !

A series of gunshots rang out, and everyone present, including Oswald's men, were frightened by Oswald's sudden and crazy shooting.

Moments later, when the boys on both sides raised their guns again and prepared to shoot, Ozwald suddenly laughed.

I saw him laughing and hitting Sabatino's chest with the muzzle of his gun.

“You’re scared, Sabatino, I bet you’re already having flashbacks in your head!

This is the first lesson I teach you. Even if the road under your feet always extends in the direction you think it should, you cannot control every thorn on the roadside.

Maybe there will be a clump growing in the middle of the road and tripping you up!

When you laugh at the way I walk, do you know what I'm thinking?

I'm also laughing at your fierce appearance and shyness, and your bullying and shyness!

You and I both know what is fantasy and what is fact. The fact is that I am not a penguin. The fact is that I am not in Antarctica. The fact is that I am better off than you. I can sit in a club and make money every day without having to fight.

There are also some facts that you least dare to think about. Do you know what they are?

The fact is that the little person who was called around by you back then has now become someone you dare not touch easily!

The truth is that I am still young, but you are already starting to age!

The fact is that I will eventually receive news of your death! "

Speaking of this, Ozwald stared disdainfully at Sabatino who seemed to want to say something.

He waited for a while, until Sabatino finally figured out how to respond, and then continued before Sabatino could speak.

"Since you know I have a sharp tongue, you should remain silent in front of me, Sabatino!

As for now, let the boring jokes end. You won't rush here for no reason. It's time to get down to business.

I hope you will remember what business is when you are about to pee! "

The competition for the new book period is fierce, and if the results are slightly inferior, it will be revealed, and it is easy to be thrown out of the market.

If you are even remotely interested in this book, even if you want to read it, please quickly turn to the last page of this book and read it as a follow-up.

Half Dead has written two million and three million words of complete masterpieces respectively. As long as this book achieves moderate results, I will write several million words of it to please everyone.

I hope everyone will lend a helping hand, thank you very much.
