Oswald Chesterfield Coppert.

This poor child who has never grown one centimeter taller since he was 11 years old finally closed his eyes quietly at the moment when he was 63 years old.

Because of his innate disability, he is a big family. No one cares about it, nor does anyone care about it. Apart from chance and the blood of the Corbert family, he seems to be inferior to a servant. At least, the servant can sit on the dining table by saying "It's time to eat", but no one has ever heard of his words.

Therefore, he was unwilling to go home, unwilling to go back to that magnificent mansion, and stayed in his "iceberg restaurant" all day... Maybe he had thought that his life would pass like this, which was not bad. At least compared to those deformed children born in poor and low-level families, he was still lucky. After all, he was not required to worry about food and drink, except for ridicule, cold eyes, ignorance, and chuckle.

This mentality accompanied him for more than 20 years until a woman with strange makeup rushed into her restaurant and pointed a gun at her head.

Then, the woman handed the button to destroy the Corbert family into her own hands...

Everything was overturned...it was rebuilt by oneself.

To be honest, the Penguin once thanked this woman...even, not just thanks, but that kind of emotion may be a deeper emotion, but he dare not imagine.

However, when the penguin wanted to pursue this emotion... the woman disappeared silently without leaving any trace.

"Business is to be fair and not to be mixed with any emotion." This may be the Penguin Man's creed.

So, if the Corbert family was given to him by the name Harley Quinn, one day, I would have to return it back.

"Yes, this is just a business...I have no feelings."

The penguin said to himself after closing his eyes.

And before he took his last breath...

"Maybe...a little."

This is his last thought.

When he died, he smiled...

......

The night Mr. Corbert was buried, the entire metropolis seemed to have undergone some changes.

People all over the world are still looking for the man named "Ziliang". However, among the panic and confused crowd, there seem to be many characters with different appearances but firm eyes. They wander around the streets and alleys, doing some inconspicuous things that are involved in the whole world.

The sales of martini wines are steadily rising, with more and more wine glasses pressed on the dining table, and coins engraved with the "iceberg" mark began to circulate again. Countless catering sales channels have become the handover line between intelligence again, just like many years ago... The huge hidden power of the Corbert family has once again slowly flowed after 20 years of disappearance.

They are looking for another hidden power. In some channels that only 'industry insiders' can access, an invitation with "icebergs" and "bats" is circulating secretly around the world.

【We are no longer enemies...We need you...】

Finally, at a dusk that he was like the usual, an old man with an old hat walked into a small cafe on the south side of Cleveland city. He only ordered a cup of martini like a crazy person.

Of course, there is no wine in the cafe.

However, the waiter did not drive the ridiculous customer away, but just let him sit quietly, and after the last customer left the cafe, he walked to the door and hung the sign of "closed business today".

"...Hello, is there anything that can serve you?"

The waiter asked.

The old man raised his head, and under the brim of his hat was a haggard face. He took out a black postcard with bats and icebergs printed on it...

"Tell your master, my name is Jim Gordon."

......

The next morning, on the eve of heavy rain.

In the past many years, the sky of the metropolis seemed to be covered with a kind of light. Even on a gloomy rainy day, it did not feel dim. But from when the light here became gray, the streets were still dense, but apart from the sound of cars, there seemed to be no noise. People held umbrellas, walked, were silent, and did not speak, quietly waiting for the heavy rain to come.

A private plane pierced the clouds and landed on one edge of the airport to run up. There was no record of the route of the plane, and even the airport itself miraculously had no news. It came to the metropolis quietly like a ghost.

The hatch door slowly opened, and Jim Gordon walked off the plane in his generous coat.

Several casually dressed people immediately met Gordon and walked into an inconspicuous car without any greetings or communication. As the door closed, the car started and left, disappearing into the fog before the rain.

Go north all the way.

On the edge of the city, in the large mansion of the Corbert family.

Harry Quinn sat opposite Old Joey.

"We have mobilized a lot of underground personnel and we have contacted the remaining anti-government forces. Jim Gordon should be on the way." Quinn said.

Old Joey seemed to be not very concerned about these things, or he might not be able to understand if he wanted to care.

"Well, I'm not very good at these things. I just want to know, has Hannibal really fallen into the hands of those people?"

The people he mentioned were naturally [Goddess of Death] Salina, and [Incarnation of Power] White Bear.

Quinn nodded: "Yes, according to the information in a certain chain of information in the Corbert family, they confirmed that Hannibal was still alive, and that he should be suffering from torture that we could not imagine, and those people wanted to pull our intelligence out of his mouth."

"Well, then they... want to know what's going on about us?"

"Everything." Quinn said: "They have a behind-the-scenes layouter. If I guess correctly, it is the woman who calls herself [Death] on TV. She is very powerful. I am not saying that she controls death, but her wisdom. Her only purpose is Ziliang. Although we don't know where Ziliang is now, I think that the woman doesn't need us to know at all. She just needs to dig out all kinds of seemingly insignificant information from Hannibal's mouth to infer the answer she wants."

Quinn said, and at this moment, the door of the room was pushed open...
