Batman did not know what Bruce was planning, but he was certain that this overly trendy Batman was serious. He had even prepared a plan to persuade Gotham's Mafia.
The Mafia was not a group with firm convictions. They gathered only for profit. When it came to illegal and criminal activities, their noses were sharper than hyenas'. And because Gotham had such an enormous Mafia population, not all of them were short-sighted. The clever ones had long seen that even with a major city as their stage, the Mafia system would one day become completely rigid and then collapse.
The tragedy of the Dynastic Cycle had played out countless times throughout history. No group of vested interests did not hope that its dynasty could endure forever. If they could not exist here, then they would exist elsewhere. After developing to this point, Gotham's Mafia lacked neither clever people nor ambitious ones.
Although Gotham's timeline was still early for Batman, Gotham's Mafia had already been developing for many years. The great predators that had once devoured the city had discovered that they were trapped in a stagnant pond. They desperately needed a broader ocean.
With Batman's tacit approval, Bruce successfully persuaded Falcone. They did not simply rush into Mexico and start from scratch. Instead, they would investigate first, move in afterward, and then gradually relocate their main operations to another country.
No one could resist the temptation of controlling a country. With Bruce's group introducing Gotham's Mafia to the right people, they could directly parachute into the upper ranks. After all, Mexico's upper echelons had long since rotted through. Working with local Mafia was still cooperation, but working with American Mafia might even bring in more money.
With that in mind, Gotham Mafia's plan to parachute into Mexico went surprisingly smoothly.
