19 Chapter 19: The Transformed Penguin
"I don't care what you think you saw. If you're not back 'ere with my money in the next ten minutes, I'll cut your damn eyeballs out. And then you won't have to worry about seeing nothin' ever again. Is that clear!?"
—Oswald Cobblepot
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Did you just talk to Oswald on the phone? This name seems familiar to me," Ivy said.
"There are few people who have roamed the streets of Gotham without knowing this name. But he also goes by a more well-known codename—Penguin," Ivy patted her head and added, "Yes, it's him; you know the Penguin."
"After dealing with him, I assisted him a little. He mentioned that you were sent to the depths of Arkham, but a mere message can't offset the favor he owes."
Ivy hesitated for a moment and said, "Jude, I don't seem to know you anymore. You weren't like this before."
"Then, what was I like?"
"You had no abilities and but a weak personality. Honestly, I didn't think you could save me, but there was no other way."
Jude thought to himself that the original host was like that.
"Then forget the me from the past and accept the new me. Just remember that we are good friends who grew up together, and we are a group."
Having just completed the experiment, Ivy was exhausted. She wondered whether others would accept him in this way. She smiled when she heard the words, "Yes, we are all in the same group."
The Firefly next to him made a retching look. "Enough, there are people around; wait until you are alone."
The two moved forward silently with a dry laugh and soon arrived at the Iceberg Restaurant. This time, the reception at the door was more eye-catching, and they quickly let them in without saying a word.
The secretary waiting at the entrance saw Jude and greeted him warmly.
"Hello, Mr. Herbert, I've been waiting for a long time."
Jude didn't know him, and he didn't need to know him. In the world of comics, such a small character was not even important.
"Let's go, take me to Mr. Oswald."
"Okay, sir, he's not in the office but in the gym."
They entered the Bingshan Restaurant, where a large gym echoed with the sound of whistles coming from inside through the door.
Pushing open the door and going in, they saw the Penguin training against five strong men. He usually did fighting training, but due to his body deformity, the actual combat effect was not good. However, after the genetic change, the original training effect improved. It seemed that a few people couldn't even get close at all.
"Hey, Mr. Oswald, here I am."
The Penguin took a look at him, violently knocking down five strong men to the ground, then took off his sweaty vest and walked over shirtless.
Jude teased, "It seems that you are in a good mood after returning to normal; how do you feel?"
"It has never been better than it is now."
"That's okay; it means that my potion is of good quality, and there is no mismatch."
Hearing this, the Penguin frowned. "What do you mean? Can your potion still go wrong?"
"Of course, there are no 100% guarantees in the world. To be honest, I only have a 70% success rate. You are lucky, Mr. Oswald."
"F***!"
"Don't f*** me; I'm not interested in men."
The Penguin calmed down his anger, pointed behind him, and asked, "Who are they?"
"My friends whom I brought from the depths of Arkham."
Firefly stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Bridgit Pike, you can call me Firefly."
"Firefly is a good name; it lights up the darkness."
Firefly shook his head and said, "No, it's burns everything."
Ivy also took the initiative to reach out and said, "I'm Ivy Pepper."
The Penguin looked at her for a moment and said, "Yes, miss, I have heard of you. Mr. Herbert came to Arkham for you; you must have a unique charm."
After his body was recovered, the inferiority complex disappeared, and the penguin's high emotional intelligence was also reflected. Bridget and Ivy laughed in a few words.
The four entered the drawing-room, and the servant brought good coffee and stepped out.
"What do you want to ask me?" Jude spoke first.
"Arkham's matter, but seeing these two young ladies, the answer is already very clear. Unexpectedly, you broke through there alone. I underestimated you."
"It's not difficult; science will help me do everything."
"Really? I don't think so; at least science can't help you deal with Batman."
Jude's heart jumped. "Have you received any news?"
"Does this thing even need to be inquired about? Arkham had such a big incident; the bat family will surely move. As long as you are in Gotham, you will not be able to escape their pursuit."
Jude hadn't spoken, but Bridgit was excited: "Batman? I would like to meet him. It is said that the face under the mask is very handsome, and it must be beautiful if it burns."
"You won't want to see him; he will throw you back into the Arkham Asylum."
Ivy is very worried. Please, that's the famous Batman. As long as it is a Gotham, you will know him, and no one will not be afraid of him.
The Penguin took a sip of coffee and said, "You can save people, but you shouldn't have messed up Arkham completely. All the people there ran away, even the clown."
Jude glanced at him and said, "What? Are you worried? Are you worried that these guys will jump out to grab your turf and power?"
"Hahaha, that's not even possible. If they want to do this, then let them just come; I will defeat them one by one."
"You have become more and more confident, Mr. Oswald."
"Huh, science makes you powerful, and power and money make me fearless."
"Well, you continue to pursue power and money, but I need to explore science. I want to borrow the laboratory of Cobblepot Technology. Something went wrong with Ivy."
"No problem, as long as you use it."
In the afternoon of the same day, Jude and Ivy came to Cobblepot Technology, and as for Firefly, she temporarily stayed at the Iceberg Restaurant.
Seeing Jude, the group of researchers in white coats immediately surrounded him like crazy. The shock to them last time was too great.
"Hello, Mr. Herbert, This is Leonard, the chief scientist of the company. Is it convenient to ask a question?"
"Sorry, I'm very busy; let's talk about it next time."
"Sir, this is important. What is the principle of the intergalactic TV you made? Can you tell me?"
"Old gentleman, I'm really busy. Have you seen the green girl next to me? I need to treat her. I'll talk about it later."
Leonard didn't want to give up and continued to make demands: "Mr. Herbert, are you going to experiment again? If you take the liberty of requesting, can you let us participate in it, or can I do it alone? Whatever you need, just tell me, and I'll do it."
Jude glanced at the old man and refused decisively.
"Old gentleman, it's not that I despise you. You can't understand or learn from my experiments. There is an order of magnitude difference between us, just like the earth and the entire universe."
Jude's words were very hurtful, but he just couldn't help but want to say it. In the field of science, he dares to look down on anyone.
