Chapter 2 Once
In the traffic behind me, I occasionally thought about the long sound of police cars and ambulances. They should be anxious to go to the convenience store that just called the police. However, the congested streets were like intestinal constipation for two weeks, and they could not get a gap.
So, the police and medical staff could only carry stretchers and rush to the convenience store a block away. If they were lucky, they should be able to rescue the poor clerk in time.
But this was not something Quinn cared about. She just turned politely and gave way to the doctors who rushed past her, and then continued to flip through the newspaper in her hand.
"Hamilai Golf Course celebrates its anniversary"
"Investor Zod cuts the ribbon for Wayne Group's new project"
These two news accounts occupy two headlines in the newspaper. You don’t have to read it down to know that today’s newspaper is equivalent to not writing anything.
There were no murders, no banks robberies, and not even an explosion... If it weren't for the end of this street, Harley Quinn could have vaguely seen the iconic Wayne Building in Gotham City, Harley Quinn even thought he had taken the wrong newspaper.
But it doesn't matter. Maybe the little cuties who have been tired recently, or have been caught in the Arkham Asylum again, that happens that they can rescue their little pudding again. This is a perfect meeting.
So, Quinn threw the newspaper casually and began her happy journey of finding her cute Mr. J.
And her first stop was a restaurant...
【Iceberg Club】
This is the largest restaurant on 75th Street in Gotham City. Of course, you can tell by the name that in addition to eating, there are many other entertainments you can think of, or you can't think of, other things.
The casino here can bet on everything you want, and no one will bet on the debt. Here you can buy everything you want. As long as the price is reasonable, no one who can enter here is an ordinary citizen. Maybe this table is talking about an action to blow up the city hall, and the next table is a big arms business.
This restaurant is the most orderly and notorious crime trading place in Gotham City.
The owner of this restaurant is called Oswald Chesterfield Coppert.
People on the Tao like to call him Penguin, of course... you can't call him like this in front of him unless you never want to see your tongue again.
That day, at 3 pm, before the opening hours of the Iceberg Restaurant came in, a hot-sized woman walked in.
"Hi, Miss, we are not open yet." A guard with a figure similar to a sumo wrestler stopped Quinn.
"Who stipulated that the restaurant must be opened to receive guests?" Harley Quinn asked back.
The man frowned and thought, if you don't open, you'll have to go in. Do you want to sit in and look at the ceiling alone? However, he still didn't say such rude words. After working here for a long time, he knew that people who come here were not so easy to mess with, so the security guard replied politely: "This... is the rule here."
"Oh, so that's it." Quinn nodded: "But... it's not my rule."
After saying that, the giant man's expression suddenly changed, from cold to severe pain, and then he fell down while covering his abdomen. Quinn was fine, shook the blood from the fruit knife and pushed open the door of the restaurant.
Just as the strong man at the door said, there was no one in the Iceberg Restaurant, only a few waiters were cleaning. When they saw Quinn walk in, they didn't say anything. They were stunned for a moment and watched Quinn walk to the bar of the restaurant.
"Dingling"
Quinn rang the ringing bell at the bar.
After a while, a bartender-like man came out: "Hello... Miss, what can I do to help you?" He was obviously a little confused about the woman who broke in, but he still said politely.
"Where is the Penguin?" she said straight to the point...
"Haha, respected lady..." the bartender responded with a smile: "We don't have the Penguin here as you call it."
This time, it was Quinn's turn to be stunned: "Oh? Are you sure? The 'Penguin Man' I mean is the one with a single piece of eyes on her eyes, a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek, but she is still erect, short and frustrated, and always likes to wear a children's suit... Well... what's the name, oh, by the way, Coppert!"
Quinn once again exacerbated his accent, saying with a slight sarcasm.
The bartender's expression finally loosened a little. Indeed, the owner of this restaurant was Copper, but, according to the majesty of the Copper family, this woman spoke such disrespectful words here. Is it really good?
Of course not good.
So as soon as he finished speaking, several doors of the Iceberg Restaurant were suddenly pushed open, and several famous tall and tall men rushed out and surrounded Harley Quinn.
"Can you give me a glass of juice?" Quinn was still as if no one was around, and was still a little unsure of it, choosing the taste of the juice.
"I'm sorry, ma'am." A gentle voice came: "Now is probably not the time to drink juice."
Quinn finally smiled, and she naturally heard the sharp voice of the Penguin.
"Haha, I don't want to call you out this way, but there's no way... Then, it's been a long time..." She said, then turned around, but she was stunned for the next second.
Because, in front of her, it was not the penguin man, to be precise, the penguin man she was familiar with.
Although the man in front of him was short, he was not fat, even a little thin, and he didn't have the monocle glasses on his eyes. Moreover, he obviously looked much younger than the image he remembered. If it weren't for the preconceived voice and the habit of still wearing suits and holding gentlemen's crutches, Quinn couldn't believe it. This was what he said... Penguin...
Perhaps seeing Harley Quinn's surprised expression, Mr. Coppert smiled: "Sorry, if I'm not wrong, the sharp-mouthed monkey-gloved, short and frustrated person you just described should be a member of our Coppert family. Although this family is impartial and law-abiding, he does not want to be attacked by unfair words, and he doesn't like to see that his employees are bullied. So... you have 10 seconds to convince me that I will not throw you into the shark pond.
10...
5...
2..."
