I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

She pulled out a magnificent megaphone studded with diamonds and shouted into the antique shop, "Leonardo Depp, I think we can sit down and talk."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the window on the second floor of the antique shop was forcefully pushed open.

Selena poked her head out and shouted with a look of disgust, "You fat pig, go to hell! Why don't you go home and lose some weight? If you keep disturbing my sleep, I'll kill you!"

Selena's precise attacks broke through the defenses of the bulky Karra.

"And who are you, you little slut? Tell that coward Depp that if you don't come out in five seconds, I'll raze this antique shop to the ground!"

As he spoke, Carra actually pulled a rocket launcher out of the back seat of the car.

Upon seeing this, Selena and Dick immediately looked towards Depp inside the house.

"Should I kill him right now?"

"Daddy Depp, I can help too, let's beat them down!"

Depp's eyes rolled back, and he shook his head, saying, "No need. God... has his own plans."

"five!"

Carla shouted arrogantly, completely unaware that the dark clouds in the sky had become even thicker.

"Four!"

Carla slung the rocket launcher over his shoulder and aimed it at the antique shop.

At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky were as thick as ink.

"three!"

The gang members beside Carla also pointed their weapons at the antique shop, still unaware that wisps of silver light were darting through the dark clouds in the sky.

"two!"

Carla shouted through gritted teeth, wondering if Depp would really not show up until the very last second.

She was completely unaware that she was about to face a terrible disaster.

"one!"

As soon as Carla finished speaking, several bolts of lightning struck from the dark clouds in the sky.

Thunder, like a silver dragon, danced wildly around Depp's Antique Shop. Under the unparalleled power of nature, the mere Viti family was utterly helpless.

When the tears subsided, only charred corpses remained around the antique shop.

The only one still able to move was Carla, the fattest one.

Perhaps due to sheer luck, this woman miraculously survived the devastating attack.

However, her condition was extremely miserable. Her once lush, long curly hair was now reduced to a small tuft on the top of her head, and her entire body was almost charred black by the lightning.

However, Karla's strong will to survive prevented her from collapsing and howling in agony due to the intense pain and burning sensation.

This woman, who could truly be called a ruthless and powerful figure, trembled as she returned to her car.

Carla started the car, floored the accelerator, and sped off down the road out of Gotham.

As she drove, she made a phone call to her father, who was far away in Chicago.

“Father, Brother Carmine was right, Gotham is not a place for normal people. I...I failed, I need to go home right now!”

On the other end of the phone, the old man's authoritative voice betrayed a hint of displeasure as he said, "Is this your excuse for your failure, Carla? You truly disappoint me, Gotham..."

Upon hearing this, Carla, who had narrowly escaped death, immediately cursed before her father could finish speaking: "Go to hell with your wretched Gotham, you old bastard! Your daughter almost died here! If you're so tough, come and try it yourself here. You're just a coward who hides behind the scenes and makes your children work for you!"

Carla had barely finished speaking when a gunshot rang out, and a bloody hole appeared in her temple.

Her expression was frozen in that moment forever.

The old man on the other end of the phone recognized the sound of a small-caliber sniper rifle with a silencer just from the voice. He immediately exclaimed anxiously, "Carla? Carla! What happened, my daughter!"

However, by this time Carla was already beyond dead, and she did not hear her father's belated concern.

The only response the elderly man received was the sound of a car crashing into the fence.

On the rooftop of a building, a man in a suit with slicked-back hair slowly walked away, muttering, "I'm sorry, Fatty, you've messed with the wrong person."

On the second floor of Depp's antique shop, after witnessing the lightning strike that Depp had caused, Dick excitedly exclaimed, "Dad Depp, you were the one who caused that lightning, right? It must be! I want to learn how to do it too!"

Selena ruffled the boy's hair and said gently, "That Thunder was indeed your dad Depp's doing, but unfortunately, it's a talent he was born with. He can only use it, not teach it."

“Okay, I see.” Dick said somewhat discouraged. “How did you know that, Aunt Selena?”

Selena shrugged in response: "Do you think I didn't say I wanted to learn it when I first met you?"

Just as Selena and Dick were talking, Depp's phone rang.

Depp was too lazy to pick up his phone and answered it directly using the system.

On the phone, Oswald said anxiously, "Mr. Depp! The Vitti family has begun their operation. Their target is your factory and company. I think they will definitely send their most elite people to the antique shop to look for you. You must be very careful."

"Um, actually those guys are already..."

Before Depp could finish speaking, Gordon called again.

Depp answered the call again using the system, the most convenient thing about which is that it can answer countless calls at the same time.

"The Viti family's operation has begun! We interrogated the arrested Viti family members, and they said that Carla, along with his trusted men, went to the antique shop to find you. Don't make any rash moves; those are some of the Viti family's most elite members!"

Before Depp could reply, Oswald on the other end said first, "So it's that fat woman Carla!"

Gordon replied, "It's her, the only woman among the three heirs of the Viti family, and the most likely to take over the Viti family!"

“I didn’t expect this fat woman to be so formidable!” Oswald said.

At this point, they finally realized that something was wrong.

Oswald: "Wait!"

Gordon: "Wait!"

"Who the hell are you?" they both shouted in unison. "Let go of Depp!"

They both thought Depp had been kidnapped by the other side, and that the other side was Carla's gang.

Depp immediately explained, "Gordon, Oswald, I'm fine! Carla and his gang just unfortunately got struck by lightning."

"Phew!" Oswald sighed. "Thank goodness, Mr. Depp, you're alright! I think I saw Carla; her car crashed into the fence. That damn woman looks like a roasted pig!"

Gordon asked with a puzzled look, "Struck by lightning?"

A bald man covered in scratches flashed into Gordon's mind; he remembered that Depp had said the same thing.

"Can I really believe that the lightning that struck the Viti family on the head was just a coincidence?" Gordon voiced his doubts.

Depp retorted shamelessly, "What other choice do you have?"

"You bastard!" Gordon knew what was going on, and hung up the phone with a laugh and a curse.

A while later, officers from the Gotham Police Department arrived at the antique shop first.

Looking at the circle of charred remains around the antique shop, Gordon felt an overwhelming sense of déjà vu.

The only difference is that the criticism wasn't as harsh last time.

After greeting Depp, Gordon crouched down and took a closer look at the Viti gang members whose faces had been disfigured by lightning.

He said to Brock beside him, "Tsk tsk tsk, a natural disaster, a natural disaster indeed!"

Brock said with disdain, "I must say, Gordon, this is the first time I've ever seen such a lewd expression on your face!"

Oswald's Penguin Gang also arrived at the antique shop, dragging a huge charred corpse as he got out of the car.

"I think this is Carla's body. This woman was shot in the head by someone while she was on the run."

head shot...

Gordon felt a little dizzy; he was starting to have PTSD from this word.

Depp took out his camera and took a picture of Oswald carrying Carla's body, along with the Penguins behind him.

He plans to send these photos to newspapers later so they can publish news about Oswald expelling the 'Vitty family who attacked Gotham,' in order to increase Oswald's vote share in the mayoral election.

As for who killed Karla... that will require further investigation.

Thus, the Viti family's plan, which had been in preparation for months, was declared a failure just half an hour after it began execution.

And they failed in a completely annihilated manner!

The battle ended so quickly that Bruce didn't even have a chance to appear.

The following day, the Gotham Evening News received Depp's full submission.

It includes photos of Oswald and the Penguins, as well as photos of Gordon and Gotham Police Department personnel, and some transcripts of Gordon interrogating members of the Vitty family.

After careful review, the editor-in-chief immediately decided to make this report the headline for tonight!

That evening, when every household in Gotham took out the Gotham Evening Post from their mailboxes, they saw the news that took up half the page!

The editor-in-chief of the Gotham Evening Post even used three headlines to describe the beginning, process, and outcome of the incident.

A dark clash between Chicago and Gotham! The ancient Vitty family attacks Gotham, and the Depp Group faces imminent annihilation!

Why were the Viti family's elite forces wiped out in a lightning-fast battle?

[Mr. Oswald Corbert stated: What Viti family? I'm going to take on the elite!]

The three reports were accompanied by three large images.

These are the Vitti family's van, the devastation at the Depp toy factory, and a photo of Oswald carrying Carla's body.

The incident quickly became a hot topic of discussion throughout the streets and alleys. After all, although yesterday's shooting ended quickly, its intensity had already made the whole of Gotham known.

Everyone had long been very interested in who exactly was responsible for taking down the Viti family gang.

After reading the Gotham Evening Post's report, all the citizens of Gotham chose to believe it.

In their minds, Oswald's Penguin Gang was the greatest contributor to driving out the Viti family.

In addition, the good deeds that Penguin Gang has been doing recently are well known, and Oswald's approval rating doubled the next day, completely crushing all other competitors!

Judging from the current situation, it's only a matter of time before Oswald becomes the mayor of Gotham City.

Oswald, in the Iceberg Club, watched his approval ratings climb steadily and was utterly impressed by Depp.

Depp now shines like a god in his eyes!
