Chapter 3276 Bloodshed in New City (Twenty-Five)
In an upscale restaurant in the uptown area, after Schiller said his name, the waiter took him to the table, and at the other end of the table sat a white woman who looked a little nervous.
She held the red wine glass and pressed the edge of the glass against her lips. It looked like she was drinking, but the wine in the glass did not enter her mouth at all. It seemed that she was just rubbing the glass with her teeth.
"How do you feel, Ms. Charabon?" Schiller sat down and asked her with concern.
"I don't know. I feel like everything is a dream." The woman shook her head, looked away, took out her cell phone and started flipping through it.
But soon, he looked at Schiller anxiously and said, "Have you seen Director Gordon? What did he say? Did he accept the price we offered?"
"Relax, ma'am." Schiller smiled at the woman and comforted her. She finally relaxed. Although her facial muscles were still twitching, she was able to have a calm conversation.
Schiller looked at the huge gemstone ring on her hand, which had no design at all, and recalled the life of Ms. Charaban.
She is actually the half-sister of the current leader of the Charaban family. Her mother died after giving birth to her. She lives with her father, but is not liked by him.
Her mother and her father were in a family marriage, and they had no emotional foundation and their lives were very dull. In addition, Miss Chalabang was spoiled when she was a child, taking drugs, drinking, and fighting. As a result, after her mother died and old Mr. Chalabang remarried, she became a invisible person.
After the death of old Chalabang, her younger brother, who is now the heir of the Chalabang family, only gave her a small amount of money and kicked her out of the house. During the most difficult times, she could only wander the streets.
Thanks to her mother's former friends, she didn't die in Gotham on a snowy night like those other homeless drug addicts.
She had been married twice, but marriage did not bring any change. Instead, it made her poorer and poorer. When Schiller found her, she was squatting in the corner of the shelter, savoring the taste of the little morphine she got last night.
Mr. Charaban was not a very cautious person. He thought that the sister he had kicked out of the house would not be able to cause any trouble, and people from the upper class would not abandon their dignity to meet such a disgusting tramp.
But Schiller will, he won't let go of such a good opportunity.
It's natural that Charaban's sister is full of resentment towards him. First of all, you can't expect a drug addict's brain to function in a normal way. This person has been taking drugs since adolescence and has tried all kinds of chemical drugs by now. If a zombie eats her brain, they will be in a coma for two hours.
She blamed everything on her brother, and was filled with deep hatred for his ruthlessness and indifference, and wanted to kill him immediately.
The key point is that once Mr. Charaban's family dies, she will be the first in line of natural succession and will no longer have to sleep on the streets, but can return to upper society.
So when Schiller came to her, there was no need for persuasion. She agreed to all of Schiller's plans and she had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Schiller didn't go to her expecting her to really kill Mr. Charabon's family. As he said, he needed someone to take the blame so that he could always stand on the moral high ground. As long as it was someone else who decided to do it, it would be fine.
Then Schiller found the clown. Every clown is good at setting off explosions, and the new one is no exception. And perhaps because of the chemical pool that Maria once fell into, her recovery ability is much stronger than that of ordinary clowns, and she is also more crazy.
But this is not a problem at all in Schiller's view. As long as he has the means to create a clown, the clown must cooperate with him. If the clown is unwilling, he will create a new clown.
Maria is much more sensible than the one in the Pale Knight, so Schiller hired her without much effort. Of course, he still had to pay her. The other party seemed to want to use the money to build a base, and Schiller didn't care what she planned to do.
Next, Schiller found a manager trusted by Mr. Charabon through some information provided by Ms. Charabon, met with this person as the mayor's staff, and provided him with advice on establishing a natural forest protection fund.
There was nothing wrong with this suggestion itself. As Pale Knight and Batman judged, it was the best way to resolve the environmental protection protests at the Charaban Chemical Plant. So the manager persuaded Mr. Charaban to do so.
But in the process of providing advice, Schiller mixed in some personal opinions. He told the managers that it was unwise to confront these crazy protesters. These poor guys would not do any soil pollution testing. There must be someone behind them.
The other party has already produced strong evidence, and it is probably not feasible to directly deny that there is no soil pollution. It is better to take a roundabout approach and take the family to inspect the chemical plant, expressing an attitude of "I even dare to let my family visit the chemical plant, how could there be pollution here?"
In fact, this kind of show is very common. Once a company is caught in a public opinion crisis, the first sentence they say to refute the rumors is "My family is also using this thing" or "My family is also eating this thing", which can give consumers the illusion that they can use and eat it with confidence.
But in fact, whether it is poisonous or not has nothing to do with whether he actually gave it to his family. He was already so cruel as to poison food, so why wouldn't he dare to use his own family to gain wealth?
The same goes for Mr. Charabang. If the chemical plant is polluting, so what? This is the cornerstone of his wealth and there must be no problems. Even sacrificing his family for it is worth it. If his wife is poisoned to death, he can remarry; if his child is poisoned to death, he can have another one. But if the money is gone, it is really gone.
This is indeed very cold-blooded, but if he was not so heartless, how could he have allowed chemical plants to pollute for so many years?
In order to put on a show to restore his reputation, Mr. Charaban quickly brought his people to the chemical plant, and then unfortunately encountered the newly-minted clown, which fired the first shot for the new clown's debut, and the whole family was sublimated.
Since all the members of the family died, his sister naturally became the first heir as she wished - provided that the other party did not leave a will.
The inheritance laws in most states in the United States give priority to wills. If the other party states in the will that he does not want the heirs in the order of natural succession to inherit, then the other party will not be able to inherit.
Schiller had just asked a double-faced man to forge a will.
Ms. Charaban had not been in the upper class for a long time, and the two-faced man's forgery skills were very good. After Schiller took a photo of his forged will and sent it to Ms. Charaban, she immediately panicked.
Although she didn't put in much effort in the whole thing, what was now in front of her was the interests of the entire Charaban Group, which was enough to drive people crazy.
Although her brain was damaged by drugs, she could understand that everyone would want to have a piece of such a big cake. Not to mention the mayor, even those old friends who claimed to have a century-long friendship with the Charaban family would want to flock to it. Even if they couldn't eat it all, if they could bite off a piece of meat, wouldn't it be money?
Although this thing has never been hers, now that it is about to be hers, Ms. Charaban will naturally regard it as a sure thing and will not be willing to let it go even if she dies.
How to run the business after taking over, how to stabilize the situation, and how to win people's hearts were not within her consideration at all. She just wanted to get a large sum of money to eat, drink, gamble, enjoy and squander.
But she also knew that compared to the mayor, Batman, and those old friends of the Charaban family, she was nothing.
How can a homeless person living on the streets compete with these people?
Since Schiller was the only person she knew who seemed reliable, she had to turn to him for help again.
The advice Schiller brings is still simple and effective. Compared with this group of people, Ms. Charabon has the advantage of legitimacy.
Although there is a will, it is not 100% useful because the logic of the will is too strange. Mr. Charaban has no reason to let the Pale Knight, whom he has never met, inherit his property. The jury is likely to determine that the will is a forgery. As long as Ms. Charaban insists on this point, she will definitely get the inheritance rights of most of the property.
But this means a head-on confrontation with the mayor. Not to mention what the Pale Knight is like, the previous mayors were not easy to deal with. Without weapons in hand, they might not even be able to wait until the court session.
The people of the Chalabang family and the leaders of its industries were also in a panic. A new emperor appoints new ministers. It would be fine if the person in power was named Chalabang, but if someone else came, they would be the first to be liquidated.
Even the small fish in the sea know how to swim together and disguise themselves as giants. They naturally understand that they must gather together to have greater strength. If they disperse now, they will be eaten up by others.
At Shiller's suggestion, Ms. Charabon approached this group of people and gave them a seemingly good suggestion - inject capital into GTO.
Mr. Charaban died so suddenly that he never had the chance to hand over some of the tools he had. For example, no one knew of Ruth's existence except Mr. Charaban himself, so naturally he couldn't use her to do anything.
As the saying goes, if my neighbor hoards grain, I hoard guns. My neighbor is my granary. The current Chalabang family is equivalent to a huge granary, and the gatekeeper has disappeared. If we don’t buy guns quickly, we will have to wait for everything to be divided up.
But buying a gun is not that simple. It is more like making it yourself rather than buying it. Most big families will spend decades planting their own pawns everywhere, letting them infiltrate all aspects of this society to help them do things.
Once Mr. Charabon died, the guns he made were completely unusable. In the current situation, there is not enough time to make a gun for them, so they can only buy ready-made ones.
And isn't it a coincidence that the special anti-terrorist team that has made great achievements in Gotham and has outstanding combat results, and is still being held in the hands of Gordon, a stubborn and stubborn person, is being auctioned.
In order to survive this turmoil, the people of the Charabon family didn't care about much else. They had to buy! They had to buy! They had to sell everything they had!
