Chapter 376

~7 min read 1,246 words

Gotham, East End.

Black Mask Club.

Su Quan sat in the middle of the booth, with Copperhead and Firehawk sitting on either side. Firehawk was drinking and curiously looking around; this was her first time in such a place, and everything looked fresh.

Copperhead sat close to Su Quan, pouring him drinks from time to time and introducing the situation of this club.

Copperhead was also from Gotham, and it was her suggestion to come to this club to relax.

"The owner of this club is named Roman Sionis. Sionis is still very powerful and influential in Gotham, but I heard that Roman's relationship with his family is not good."

"That man is Roman Sionis," Copperhead pointed with her chin.

Not far away, a man in a dark suit was smiling and greeting guests.

"People who don't know might think he's very charming, but in fact, he's a very narcissistic pervert!"

"However, this club is run very well by him, and many underworld criminals like to come here to play! Have you heard of Gotham's Crime Emperor, the Joker? Before he was caught, he often came here to play."

"The bodyguard behind Roman Sionis is also not simple. His name is Victor Zsasz. People in the underworld call him Mr. Zsasz. He is a very perverted serial killer. It is said that every time he kills someone, he cuts a mark on his own body."

Behind Roman Sionis stood a man who looked a bit short. At first glance, he belonged to the silent and unremarkable type, but the evil and madness in his eyes could not be hidden.

Another one with mental problems!

This is very Gotham!

Among Gotham's criminals, nine out of ten are mentally unstable, led by the Joker, Harley Quinn, Two-Face, Scarecrow, Riddler, Hush, Mad Hatter, including this Mr. Zsasz and Roman Sionis, the Black Mask.

One by one, they all have mental problems!

In cities guarded by other heroes, there are only a few famous criminals. For example, when you mention Metropolis, you think of Lex Luthor; when you mention Central City, you think of Reverse-Flash. But when you mention Gotham—count them slowly!

Just kidding, Gotham City, with its simple folk customs—did you think that was just a saying?

Take this Roman Sionis, for example. He was also born into a wealthy family and was a classmate of Bruce Wayne. Bruce Wayne embarked on the path of becoming Batman after his parents were murdered.

And him?

He directly murdered his parents, inherited the family property, and then fell out with his family!

In this world, he planned to murder another family years ago and slaughtered everyone in that family.

This family was called the Bertinelli family, a gang crime family!

Of course, he thought everyone in that family was dead, but in fact, a little girl survived. She was secretly taken to Italy by a thug who had a moment of compassion, raised by her father and brothers, and taught a set of killing skills, becoming an assassin.

This little girl was Helena Bertinelli, also the famous Huntress!

Later, this Huntress returned to Gotham for revenge and, together with Cassandra Cain, Renee Montoya (the second Question), Dinah Lance (Black Canary), and Harley Quinn, teamed up to take down the small boss, Black Mask.

"Hi, welcome to my club. I'm Roman. What should I call you?" Roman Sionis came to Su Quan's table with a smile and greeted them enthusiastically.

Su Quan ignored him and didn't speak. Copperhead said very consciously: "My name is Copperhead, that's Firehawk, and this is the actual controller of Arkham Asylum, Su Quan."

Roman Sionis, whose face had changed slightly because he was ignored, heard that Su Quan was actually the controller of Arkham Asylum and suppressed the emotion he was about to explode.

"So it's Mr. Su Quan from Arkham. Is this your first time here?" Roman Sionis clapped his hands and looked around loudly: "To welcome Mr. Su Quan, today, everyone's bill is on the house!"

"Wow!"

"That's great!"

"Thank you, Mr. Roman Sionis, thank you, Mr. Su Quan!"

For a moment, all the guests in the club cheered.

Since someone gave him face, Su Quan couldn't remain indifferent.

You don't give people face, and they don't give you face—fine!

People give you face, and you still don't give them face?

That's not how you act cool!

Su Quan nodded slightly to him: "In the future, you can send your people to Arkham!"

Roman Sionis didn't expect Su Quan to give him so much face. Although he was a club owner on the surface, who didn't know he was also in the underworld?

When his subordinates were caught, it wasn't easy to get them out of Blackgate Prison, so he suppressed his anger when he learned that Su Quan was the controller of Arkham Asylum.

Now it seems he did the right thing!

Roman Sionis, overjoyed, was just about to express his gratitude when he saw Su Quan raise his hand and point to a female singer performing on the stage.

"Let her come over and keep me company."

Roman Sionis frowned, glanced at the female singer on the stage, and chuckled: "Let's change to another one. She's just a singer. I have a lot of good goods here, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Su Quan looked at him with a half-smile: "How come I didn't know that the fearsome Black Mask was so caring about his subordinates? It's just a woman, are you not giving me face?"

Roman Sionis's face darkened, and the slightly twitching corners of his mouth made him look like he might explode at any moment.

This guy also has mental problems; his self-esteem is extremely high, and he is easy to lose control!

But then again, this guy is also extremely rational.

He knows who he can afford to provoke and who he can't.

In the movie, because of the relationship between Harley Quinn and the Joker, Harley Quinn never needed to pay when she came to his bar to play, and she could do whatever she wanted. Even when she broke his driver's leg, he had to smile and ask when Mr. Joker would have time.

Later, when Harley Quinn and the Joker broke up, he directly turned against Harley Quinn and started chasing her in various ways.

Su Quan didn't have a good impression of Roman Sionis, and under normal circumstances, he wouldn't deliberately provoke him like this, after all, the man hadn't offended him and had given him a lot of face.

But then again, Su Quan's target was the Huntress, and he was the Huntress's enemy, so there was nothing more to say.

"Mr. Su Quan, you ask me to have the hottest female singer here keep you company as soon as you arrive. If this gets out, my business won't be easy to do. It's not that I'm not giving you face, it's that you're not giving me face!"

Su Quan sneered and said: "You don't give me people, why should I give you people? Just because of your one sentence that everyone's bill is on the house?"

Su Quan had previously said that he could let Roman Sionis send his people to Arkham Asylum, which meant that he could help him get people out later, but just one sentence that everyone's bill was on the house was clearly not enough weight.

From a bystander's point of view, Su Quan really wasn't deliberately provoking him!
