Chapter 3220 The Shadow of Faraines (Seventeen)
From the perspective of the size of the bank and the city, this guy should be a businessman with a little money. He is a second-rate or third-rate rich man in the city, and most of them only do local business.
Don't underestimate such rich people. Many of them have been operating in the local area for many generations. They are not as good as the top but better than the bottom.
More importantly, the interpersonal relationships of such people are actually more complicated than those of the top tycoons.
Does Bruce Wayne have real enemies?
It's not Batman, but Wayne's identity is destined that he will not have any sincere enemies, because people at the bottom can't contact him, and people at the top are more concerned about interests. There is no benefit in becoming a mortal enemy with Wayne.
This is because the Wayne family has reached the top, and making friends with them can bring people greater benefits than offending them. It is really difficult for someone to sincerely have to make trouble with them.
But this is not the case with these local rich businessmen. They have been operating in a city for generations. When they made their fortunes, they offended people. After several generations of operation, some grievances faded with time, but some became more and more entangled, and finally they wanted to become mortal enemies.
Especially if he cannot monopolize the industry in this city, his competitors will definitely hate him to the core. Whether it is openly or privately, they will find ways to suppress him to make profits for themselves.
It is also impossible to rule out the possibility that a madman will get angry and decide to physically eliminate him.
The man certainly knew that the two people in front of him should not be sent by his competitors, but the problem is that if he disappeared, the police would definitely do so.
Outsiders don’t know, how can he, a local, not know? No policeman in the United States will check interpersonal relationships. When they are free, they drink coffee, eat donuts and clean police cars. Catching criminals is breaking doors, gunfights, speed and passion.
The main reason is that the national conditions of the United States do not support the police to visit every household to investigate interpersonal relationships. There is no such thing as a close relationship between the police and the public in the United States. Everyone is on guard against the police like they are on guard against criminals, because there are too many precedents of police fishing enforcement. Most people will not say a word when they see the police, and there is no way to check interpersonal relationships.
So once they encounter a case that may be a revenge killing and the victim's interpersonal relationship is very complicated, they basically don't handle it, because there is no way to handle it, there are not enough cameras, and they can't get any information from asking. What else can they do?
If these two people really robbed a bank today, the police will still spend effort to chase them. After all, if they don't deter them, everyone will dare to rob a bank.
But if they just kidnapped one person, and it was a person with many enemies, the police would probably classify it as a revenge killing. They can report the missing and check the surveillance, which is considered to be their loyalty to duty.
Thinking of this, the man sweated coldly. He swallowed and said immediately: "I have money, I can give money, as long as you don't kill me, everything is fine."
"No hurry, what business are you in?" Bruce asked.
"Uh, I opened a decoration company."
The man didn't dare to hide it, because he didn't know how Bruce knew that his birthday was in January. He guessed that Bruce might have investigated him a long time ago. If he was found lying, he would really be dead.
"You have a big business, right?"
"Not bad, it ranks among the top three in the city, no, it should be the second."
"Oh? Who ranks first?"
"This... of course it's Sierteke, they rank first in every industry in Sierteke, after all, the city is named after their family."
"Quite arrogant." Bruce said with a curled lip, and the Pale Knight saw his lip shape move, as if to say "I haven't changed Gotham's name to Wayne City yet."
"Yes, no one here can challenge Siltek." The man shrank his neck and said, "I just barely make a living."
"Didn't you say you are rich?"
"I am rich, but it is getting worse and worse. I don't know what the old man Siltek has gone crazy about. He has been suppressing our business recently. Someone died on my construction site last month, but Siltek said that the materials I provided were incomplete and could not prove that he died accidentally. This man's wife comes to me every day to make trouble. Alas..."
Bruce's eyes turned, and then said, "You also know that people like us can make money from anything. Anyway, we are all doing a job. If you can afford the price, we will go and cause trouble for him."
The man took a breath lightly. Construction sites in all countries in the world are the same. The more backward the area, the easier it is to get involved in the underworld. Siltek itself is not a big city, and the geographical location is very remote. If you want to do a project here, it is impossible to say that you have never been exposed to these things.
Bruce turned back and asked while driving: "Do you have cigarettes?"
The man took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms. Bruce took out a cigarette, lit it and put it in his mouth, exhaled a puff of smoke and said: "We did target you, because you have many enemies and it is difficult to investigate. By the time the police find out, you have been thrown into some deserted mountain in Quebec."
"But if we force you to withdraw money, you probably won't be able to withdraw much. Anyway, it's a risk. Why don't you pay some money and we can help you solve some small problems. This is good for both of us. What do you think?"
The man seemed to be weighing the pros and cons. He asked tentatively: "If I agree, will you let me go home to get money?"
"Do you have cash at home?"
"No, but I have gold bars." The man said.
"How much?"
"Can you really help me solve my problems?"
"It depends on how you want to solve it." Bruce took the cigarette out of his mouth and said: "If you just tie someone up and scare him, you can get it done with 30,000 yuan, but if you want him to disappear forever, you can't get it without 100,000 yuan."
"How dare you touch Siltek?"
Bruce made a disdainful sound and said, "Who do you think he is? The richest man in the world?"
"It is true that he is not the richest man in the world, but this is just his hometown. Siltec Medical Insurance Company is very large in Connecticut and Massachusetts. He is also a famous medical insurance giant in the United States."
"But he is also a human being, and he will die if shot in the head." Bruce said in a completely desperado tone, "Do you know the church?"
The man suddenly trembled, looked at Bruce with some horror and said, "Have you ever worked for the church?"
"They can't do all the dirty work themselves." Blue turned the steering wheel and glanced at the rearview mirror to confirm that no one was following him before saying, "Although they are not generous, you don't have to worry about being chased when you work for them. , what do you think about it?
"Can you really kill Siltek?" the man asked hesitantly. He paused and then said: "Actually, I feel that the church doesn't like him because he has never allowed the church's power to penetrate into Sigeltek. , he regards this as his own territory.”
"If that's the case, maybe I can take two orders." Bruce smiled and said.
"That's exactly what I thought." A glint flashed in the man's eyes, and he said, "If you have any contact with the church, maybe you can try to ask them if they want Siltke's life."

"Are you afraid that someone will be found on you?"
"Of course I'm afraid. If such a big shot dies, and if he's involved with me, I might spend the rest of my life in prison." The man sighed and said, "If the church wants to take action against him, I'm willing to give it to him." You just need an extra grant to blame the church on the problem after it is done. Anyway, this is not the first time they have done this. "
Bruce nodded and said, "Okay, I happen to know a priest. Let me ask him how I can contact you?"
"All the streets starting with w in the city have empty houses in them, and there are mailboxes at the door of the empty houses. No matter which mailbox you put your letter in, I can receive it."
"It seems this is not the first time you have done this."
The man smiled, and there was a hint of sinisterness in his smile, but it disappeared quickly. He said, "In our line of work, it is inevitable that we will have some conflicts with others."
"Then we'll put you here." Bruce said and stopped the car. This was the suburb where they entered the city, and there was an area of villas for rich people.
The man glanced at the environment outside. His expression changed slightly, but he didn't show anything. Seeing his expression, Bruce knew that he had made the right bet. This guy's home might be nearby.
The man got out of the car. Bruce untied his hands and said, "The police may come to you about the bank matter today. You should know what to say. Let's leave first."
After saying that, he got in the car and no longer looked at the man, but returned to the city.
"You are really good at it." The Pale Knight said in an incomprehensible tone: "You seem to be doing this a lot."
"No matter where you are, it's a reward."
The Pale Knight rolled his eyes. Bruce would never be able to practice this silky little combo every ten or eight times. He really didn't know who in Gotham in his universe would suffer.
First, target the bank. Not only are the people who come to the bank to discuss business, they are rich and wealthy, but a blind cat can meet a few rich people even if he kills a mouse. If you don't meet them here, you can change to another place.
As soon as he entered the bank, he accurately identified the target and diverted attention by robbing the bank. He successfully kidnapped the person and used coercion and inducement. Not only did he extract information, but he also most likely concluded a killer deal.
Yes, the Pale Knight felt that the rich man they kidnapped must be really tempted. Although today's incident shocked him, people who can get to the top in every industry cannot be timid.
They may be a little panicked at first, but later they will still put their interests first.
From a few words, the Pale Knight can also deduce that this city has been suffering from Siltek for a long time. The Siltek family has a complete monopoly here. Even because the city is small and the industry is not large, Siltek The Turks have even more control over the city than Wayne does over Gotham.
If you want to make a living here, you have to make a living under their hands. It might have been fine before, but the man said that old Silturk has gone crazy recently. It is probably because his weird research made him too short of money. If you have no money, you will naturally have to operate on the fat sheep under your hands.
These people have been able to hang out in this city for so long, and they are related to Siltek, but brothers have settled accounts. Once interests are involved, let alone a relationship that is beyond the reach of eight poles, they are father, son, mother and daughter. You have to step aside in any relationship, and it's not uncommon to stab each other for money.
This man must have been driven into a panic recently. He originally worked in the engineering industry, and bad things happened a lot. The police in the city were slack, and they didn't see any problems after doing it a few times. This time he wanted to seize the opportunity to bite back the possibility. Very big.
It was no problem for this man, but it was a big problem for the two of them who were going to serve as the guns.
"Do you really want to kill old Siltek?" the Pale Knight asked, staring at Bruce's side face.
"It depends on how he performs," Bruce said.
