Hiding in the sand, splitting into many places, starting with Arkham

While the main body was integrating with the new team, the Hogg United had also basically digested the territory and assets of the Sparleta family, and had completed the first phase of training set by the incarnation.

This training became phased out of necessity.

They were all lazy loafers, not soldiers, and Shimizu simply couldn't train them according to the standards of those formal military academies that Aman spoke of.

The main focus was on physical fitness, strength, flexibility training, some basic fighting skills, and the correct use of firearms, etc.

In fact, just knowing these things was enough to get by in Gotham's gangs, and with good talent, you might even become a small boss.

The training plan set by Shimizu also included ninja stealth, disguise, the use of shurikens, daggers, blowguns, chains, the theory of team combat cooperation, explosives and trap making, intelligence analysis and search, and so on.

These were all the signature skills of ninjas.

Perhaps only members of a few organizations, such as the League of Assassins led by the Ninja Master, could fully master these abilities.

And even this wasn't all, because Shimizu believed that since they were a gang, they had to look like a gang, so they also needed to understand how to launder money, how to avoid penalties for illegal transactions, and how to make fake IDs and forge documents.

They needed to deeply understand Gotham's gang economy, criminal finance, know how to exploit legal loopholes, and how to deal with the police, etc.

If such a formally organized team were to be built, I'm afraid the Mayor of Gotham would have trouble sleeping at night.

Shimizu would definitely be able to sweep Gotham's underworld and directly fill up the panel's luck progress bar.

But alas, the ideal was very full, but the reality was very skinny.

"Boss, Boss! Something bad happened!"

Inside the abandoned factory, Shimizu was filling the disassembled Black Gold with bio-mimetic flexible rubber when Huang Mao rushed in from the door in a panic.

"Speak."

Shimizu carefully placed the composite carbon fiber material over the rubber liner while speaking.

"Kerman Cole is here! He's followed by dozens of people with weapons."

Kerman Cole?

Who was that?

Then Shimizu quickly remembered the name of the former Cole gang leader, and his brother who was a leader in the Two-Face gang.

Were they going to confront the Two-Face gang?

Shimizu frowned.

Now didn't seem like the right time, Black Gold was still being modified and wasn't convenient to use.

It wasn't that he couldn't use it, but using it rashly before the bio-muscles were completely installed could cause damage to these high-strength bio-materials that he had just bought at a great price, which would be a loss.

However, as a ninja, his strength wasn't limited to just Black Gold.

On the wall hung some ninja tools made from metal scraps left over from modifying Black Gold.

In reality, it was just a ninja sword made of high-carbon steel, a few kunai, and some shurikens.

At most, there was also the pistol on the edge of the table.

There weren't many things, but with his skills and chakra, he was fully capable of combat power surpassing the peak of ordinary humans, plus the Hogg United's subordinates who already had some basic military training, they could even fight against Gotham's top gangs.

Shimizu put on the ninja sword, put the kunai and shurikens in his pocket, and looked indifferent.

He wasn't the type to take a beating without fighting back, if the Two-Face gang really wanted a fight, he didn't mind taking the risk of being targeted by the bat brats and killing Harvey Dent.

"Let's go."

Shimizu loaded the pistol, inserted it into the holster, and walked out of the door with Huang Mao.

"Where is Kiddy Cole!"

"Where is my brother!"

"Where is your boss! Where did that guy go!"

On the cement ground outside the base, which was converted from an abandoned factory, there were more than a dozen cars and dozens of Two-Face gang thugs surrounding it.

In front of all these people, a man with a big gold chain and a trench coat was holding a submachine gun and shouting frantically.

Seeing Shimizu leading Huang Mao, surrounded by a group of Hogg United hoodlums, this man immediately looked at Shimizu.

"Are you the new boss of the Cole gang?"

Shimizu ignored this guy and glanced around.

"I'm talking to you!"

Kerman Cole pointed the gun at Shimizu.

Only then did Shimizu silently turn his gaze to this person, and then…

"Swish!"

A shuriken flew out and struck the man's hand, causing him to drop the submachine gun in pain.

In unison, a large circle of Two-Face gang thugs around aimed their guns at Shimizu.

The people of Hogg United were a beat slower, but they also quickly turned their guns around.

"I don't really like being pointed at with a gun."

Shimizu chuckled and glanced around.

"Having reached this point, you still haven't made a move, which means this guy can't directly order you, but you've come with so many people in such a menacing manner, presumably you've come along too, Harvey Dent."

The door of a luxury car in front opened, and a person wearing a half-black and half-white suit walked out.

The right half of his face was the face of a handsome man, but the left half of his face was completely burned, revealing part of the bones and teeth, which looked very scary.

Gotham's first-line villain, Two-Face Harvey Dent.

"The result of the coin toss is tails, which means I shouldn't choose to be hostile to you, Puppeteer, boys, put down your guns."

Harvey Dent's fingers deftly played with a coin, quickly caught it with the back of his right hand, and covered it with his left palm.

Shimizu's eyes moved slightly.

"You asked the Penguin to inquire?"

Only the Penguin knew the information that he was the Puppeteer.

"Of course, I spent a little money, and for this, I even robbed a bank yesterday."

Harvey Dent turned to look at Kerman Cole.

"My dear Kerman, I have always believed that you are a very talented and loyal subordinate, I even acquiesced to you embezzling a portion of the protection fees collected by the gang as a reward, but why, I asked you to represent me to talk to my Water brothers, and emphasized that it was a normal talk, but why did you want to talk with guns?"

Kerman covered his injured right hand with his left hand and said:

"Sorry, Boss, my brother, Kiddy, he…"

"Didn't he die in the conflict with the Sparleta family? And my Water brothers helped you avenge him."

Kerman lowered his head, concealing the anger in his eyes.

"You need to know, Kerman, I have given you many opportunities, embezzling a little money, as long as it doesn't affect my work, that's nothing, provided you are obedient and can help me do things well, unfortunately, you didn't do it."

Harvey Dent tossed the coin, quickly caught it with the back of his right hand, and covered it with his left palm.

"Then let the coin decide whether I should let you go."
