Ultimate Life Begins with Injustice

Chapter 039 The Clown Gang

"When we get there, don't say anything out of line."

Old A glanced intently at Su Lun, who was gripping the steering wheel with one hand, and solemnly gave him some instructions.

He didn't convince himself, but rather Big B.

The main factor contributing to the evolution and advancement of the Korgs lies in their nearly complete human nervous system.

Although it's not very intelligent, it can already see things now, even though it was born not long ago and was stimulated by three people in the sewer.

After that, with enough neurons, Suren believes it can have more functions and uses.

Then the Shoggoth from "At the Mountains of Madness" that Old A watched could come to life: a perfect biological tool, a Swiss Army knife that can solve all of humanity's current industrial pain points.

Once the Kuggs creature is thoroughly studied, Gundam models will be extremely rare and sell out instantly.

Of course, before this boom occurred, all three of them were already making a fortune through futures and intellectual property rights.

Although Suren painted such a rosy picture, he himself didn't believe it.

The evolution of the Korg is only just beginning, and the wonderful visions he speaks of all stem from the assumption that the evolutionary blueprint of this creature has a very high upper limit.

But based on his research on the Korgs last night, it was already incredibly lucky that this kind of slacker, which can live or die at will, was discovered and recovered into the laboratory.

He just wanted to find an excuse to contact the Joker gang so he could find out some information about the Joker's plans.

Of course, Big B wasn't particularly optimistic.

After all, the lesson of Icarus's past mistakes is still sitting in the department's room.

Although he agreed to let Suren go to buy fresh Gundams to use the nervous system to promote the evolution of the Kogs.

But the reason he had the two of them working on it was simply because the current information wasn't enough to make a PowerPoint presentation; at least it wasn't good enough to avoid being easily seen through by Lex Luthor.

"Why are you so nervous? The clown isn't going to shoot heat vision from his eyes."

Suren drove the secondhand car she had just bought with zero down payment, one hand on the road ahead, looking at the road ahead.

Meeting the Joker's henchmen was nothing to Suren, who possessed the [Emotional Furnace].

Moreover, he and Old A were rare neutral members among the complex gangs, and as long as they didn't do anything excessive, they generally wouldn't get into trouble.

"You've never been to Gotham before, have you?"

Old A glanced at Su Lun sideways, then explained.

"All gang members are basically weaker versions of their leaders."

"The members of the Falcone gang are family-oriented and are old-fashioned, elegant people."

"Two-Face's henchmen have extreme personalities; it's common for them to shake hands amicably one second and then suddenly attack and hurt someone the next."

"The gangs that follow the riddle tellers are mostly high-IQ pleasure criminals; for them, crime is more like a spice in life."

"The Joker... his followers are basically all lunatics."

After saying this, Old A swallowed hard.

If it weren't for the fact that this job required two people—one to negotiate and the other to be in the car as a deterrent—he would never have wanted to get involved in this mess.

"This is it."

Old A reminded Su Lun to brake, and then after Su Lun got out of the car, he moved to the driver's seat while keeping the car running.

Anyway, since Suren himself instigated this, he'd better handle it himself.

If something really happens, I'll take Suren and run away with him if he can get in the car.

If not... Old A can only pray for him.

……

"A new face. Where's that fat guy?"

Suren stepped forward and saw two men wearing circus clown masks.

"It's over at the car. Because the needs this time are quite special, I'll be the one to explain."

Suren turned slightly to the side, letting the two of them see Old A holding the gear shift in the cockpit.

"Alright, alright, spit it out."

Unlike employees like Suren who have a clear salary structure, these two gangsters clearly had irregular pay.

But being stationed in the metropolis during this season is not an easy task. As Old A said, this is the season to start stockpiling Gundams.

Gotham's STAR Labs has recently shifted its main research focus to space, and the biggest Gundam buyers, besides the Wayne family's hospitals, are only the LexCorp.

"I need a fresh Gundam, preferably still with that warm, plastic smell, and the head and spine must be intact."

"Is it that troublesome?"

One of them’s tone became noticeably unfriendly.

Business is really tough here in the metropolis.

Unlike in Gotham, where you can finish a job and immediately head to a bar in the East Side to party and spend a fortune.

Or if they were really short of money, they would go into a dark alley and see if any lucky citizens would lend them some money.

If you're unlucky enough to run into that black figure, then make sure you've renewed your Wayne Group health insurance for this month.

Very simple.

But in the metropolis, one can only engage in tentative activities that skirt the edge of the law.

They even need to find a suitable excuse for their actions.

"Of course, we're making a half-body dummy with sensory capabilities, so there will be some requirements."

"That's fine, but the price has to be increased by 50%."

The second person also struck up a conversation at the right time.

"Can."

Suren readily agreed.

Actually, this price increase doesn't make much sense, since Suren's requirements aren't that strict, and it's almost the peak production season for Gundams.

But it wasn't his money; for Young Master Lu, this amount of money was nothing.

"How many boxes do you want?"

"Let's start with five boxes. The quantity should increase after mass production begins."

"Ten boxes, inspect the goods on the spot. If you are not satisfied, you can return them and we will send you the rest later."

"make a deal!"

Suren reached out her hand without hesitation.

But the other party simply nodded and then indicated that Suren could leave.

They were more cautious than I had imagined, which had nothing to do with the "crazy" Old A had mentioned earlier.

Suren had no choice but to turn around, leaving her back to the two of them, while her [Rapid Thinking] began to operate.

The other party's performance was fine, except for one thing that wasn't quite natural—the price.

Asking for an exorbitant price and then negotiating is a very normal practice, but after you agree to it outright, the other party only makes some adjustments to the amount.

They didn't have that "I'm not getting enough" mentality at all, which shows that they don't actually care whether they can make more money from this deal.

It's more like the mentality of "since the money fell on the ground, I'll just pick it up."

According to what Old A explained to him, with the current internal gang warfare in Gotham, it's impossible for the Joker, as Gotham's criminal prince, not to get involved.

However, these two members, who were clearly key members of the gang, did not return to Gotham, and they didn't seem particularly interested in the windfall they had during the off-season...

That means one thing: the Joker has already started making his move!

Suren glanced back but couldn't see anything behind the two masks.
