Chapter 3345: Old City, New Night (Part )
The city of Gotham always has amazing vitality. It was in chaos a few months ago, as if a war had been fought, but in just a few days, it has become prosperous again.
The streets are full of Christmas decorations. The golden bells reflect the light of the snow. The colorful decorations on the Christmas tree complement each other. The wooden elk statues have red noses, candy canes are neatly hung in the windows, and children walking through the streets are singing Christmas carols.
Batman, who controls almost all of Gotham's upper class, doesn't need that much money. He put part of the money into the municipal system, and gave the other part to ordinary people as Christmas benefits. This is destined to be a warm and happy Christmas.
The operating system of Gotham State is not particularly unusual, because the greedy Marvel New York State also operates in a similar way. Independent legislative power and tax policies can ensure that the government system always gives way to economic development, allowing the city to always be a benchmark for economic development on the East Coast, thereby radiating to the surrounding underdeveloped areas.
The Pale Knight was adept at handling government affairs, the only thing that made him unhappy was that he was now forced to join forces with the Penguin. Because Gotham, which had become an independent state, needed a congressman with weight of speech, the Penguin was the only choice.
Batman was in pretty good shape. He began to believe what Catwoman said.
After being arrested by the IRS, Batman's weapons were taken away, including his coveted batarang. After that, his mental state improved to a certain extent, and after taking over the resources of the upper class, he was busy for a while, and he hadn't felt that empty and depressed for a long time.
Schiller was at Paul's bedside at the time. The big man was lying on the bed reading his medical report, and to his shock, his tumor had completely disappeared.
"It's a medical miracle," Paul exclaimed. "How did you do it? Are you a magician?"
"There are others who can do magic." Schiller shook his head and smiled, "How do you feel about knowing that you are the true descendant of the Wayne family?"
"Not really," Paul replied. "I don't know if I would be able to handle so many things if I had received an elite education since childhood, but at least I can't do it now. So let Bruce Wayne do it."
"Then what are your plans next?"
"Bruce Wayne is back to his old ways, so I have to do what I should do. Batman may not be available for activities recently, but the Angel of Death will not let any criminal go."
"So you want to be a superhero?"
"No. I'm not going to fight street crime. Pavel gave me a list before he left."
“You work for the IRS now?”
Paul stroked his beard and said, "I am just completing the revenge I have not completed. There are still several high-level executives of Odein Company who have not been caught yet."
"Okay, but you'd better not make too much noise, otherwise Gordon won't let you go."
Schiller put down his coffee cup and said, "What about Brad? What do you think of him?"
"I said the same thing. He is a cunning devil and never speaks a word of truth. He only takes care of me out of his boredom and evil taste." Paul shook his head and said, "But since he did save me, if he becomes homeless one day, I can take him in."
"That's great." Schiller smiled.
In Dr. Tompkins' clinic, Midnight Doctor Piette exclaimed while holding the diagnosis and treatment report: "It's a miracle. How on earth did he cure so many people's cancer overnight?"
"I guess it has something to do with the red pill," Dr. Tompkins said, holding up another document. "I considered all possibilities in my research, except for magic. But if it was magic, it wouldn't be surprising if it could do this."
Piette laughed and said, "It's a great idea to use drugs as bait to trick people into taking medicine."
"He made a lot of money," Dr. Tompkins said. "Although this stuff was sold cheaply at the beginning, the price has increased since then, and the shipment volume is so large that most traditional drugs have no market and several dealers have gone bankrupt. It can be considered a good thing."
In Wayne Building, Batman also holds a research report on the red pill. This new drug that can reverse the cancer caused by the Oddine company's equipment is actually the new drug that was popular in Gotham before.
Thanks to New Jersey's previously relaxed drug policy, the red pill sold very well, resulting in most patients who had contracted cancer due to radiation from the instrument recovering overnight.
But it wouldn't be surprising if it was Schiller who did it. He was good at making every good thing weird.
Batman is now worried about another thing. His good assistant Lucius Fox, who has just recovered from a serious illness, has submitted his resignation report to him, and now he is short of manpower.
"You really should reconsider this, Lucius." Batman tried hard to persuade him on the phone, "I don't think there is any other group in the world that can provide you with the treatment and platform like the Wayne Group..."
Fox, holding the phone, looked at the other Bruce across the street, sighed and said, "I just need to take a break for a while, Bruce. Maybe I'll be able to help again soon."
After hanging up the phone, Fox signed the contract. Bruce smiled with satisfaction, walked up, shook hands with Fox, and said, "Welcome, sir. You will like the atmosphere of my Wayne Group. My employees are much more capable than yours."
"They are just too capable," Fox complained. "Although I know it's not a good idea to leave when Bruce needs me the most, I also have the responsibility to monitor the situation within the Wayne Group. It's better for me to avoid suspicion before the liquidation is completely completed."
"Believe me, it doesn't matter which Wayne you work for."
Fox did not comment. He continued, "Actually, what I'm more curious about is that since you come from another almost identical universe, where did Lucius Fox from that universe go?"
Bruce gave an embarrassed expression.
"So this is your ultimate purpose." Schiller pushed open the door of the office in Arkham Asylum.
"That's not enough." Bruce said, "You have to help me convince the Pale Knight to give up the governor's position to the Penguin, so that he can smoothly enter Congress and then go to my universe to take over Roy's position as mayor."
Schiller rolled his eyes slightly, and Bruce's abacus beads were about to fall on his face.
"You are simply the biggest human trafficker in the multiverse."
"Thanks for the compliment."
Bruce nodded proudly instead of being ashamed. This was indeed the main reason why he was so positive about the Pale Knight universe.
I believe everyone still remembers that because Bruce did not return to the Wayne Group for a long time, the group was leaderless and was hit hard by the Luthor Group. The business scope was severely suppressed and almost all capable employees were poached.
Lucius Fox from that universe is one of them. He went directly to Metropolis to develop. Bruce Wayne? Who is he? I don't know him well. He is now the president of Luthor Group.
Although the Wayne Group is now almost becoming a breeding base for Siberian forest cats, it still needs a capable and loyal executor. Bruce can no longer rely on Fox in his own universe, so he can only dig one from other universes.
But as the saying goes, it's already here. Roy also went to the state legislature, and Gordon, the director, was too indispensable to be promoted. The position of mayor of Gotham City has been unresolved for a long time. Bruce can only turn his attention to other universes.
However, most of Gotham's mayors are either Penguin or in cahoots with Penguin. Bruce picked and chose, and only the Pale Knight was reliable, so he had no choice but to choose him.
What? Are you asking where the Penguin in this universe is?
It can only be said that in the group battle that besieged Wayne Group, the Luther Group suffered the most damage, followed by the Iceberg Group. They are now doing well in the real estate and chain entertainment industries and have no interest in the position of mayor.
So Bruce is actually here to headhunt, but if the situation in Gotham in this universe is too bad, no one will be able to get away. The Pale Knight can't leave, so he can only cure the disease first and then dig out the important cells.
Bruce didn't worry at all whether the Pale Knight was willing to leave or not, after all, the one who came here to help him was greedy, and his main point was that he never expected kindness from others, but left them with no choice.
The Pale Rider really had no choice, as Schiller had convinced Harley, and Harley was about to give birth.
The results of the previous pregnancy test have shown that Harley is pregnant with twins. Although it seems that inhaling poison gas has no significant effect on the child, no one can be sure. The Pale Knight needs better medical conditions to ensure the safety of his wife and children.
The era of the Pale Knight universe is not advanced enough, and it is not even 2010 yet, so there is obviously no such technical means. However, Marvel, where Greedy is, has now entered the stage of universe development, and its medical level is much better than here.
And with the experience of Pepper and Scarlet Witch, there are plenty of ways to deal with various pregnancy accidents, and giving birth there would be a better choice.
Well, this is just the official explanation. The real situation is that Harley just wanted to go there to have fun with her big belly, and the Pale Knight was worried about her, so he had to follow her.
After successfully persuading the Pale Knight, Schiller took stock of his gains in his trip in his office in the municipal building.
This time he really didn't receive any reward, because his purpose in helping Bruce was actually to prepare for the big job that Pride and Bruce would do later. Strengthening the Gotham of their universe was the best reward.
Of course, he also charged a small interest, such as Brad's house. The stingy devil finally agreed to give him the pharmacy and house on Bourbon Street to prevent greed from chasing him to other universes and disgusting him.
DC's heaven and hell are inter-universe, and the devil can travel to different single universes, and their houses are the same. This means that Greed has a fixed residence in every DC universe. Although not every universe has Bourbon Street, as long as a door is opened with a special magic key, Brad's house can be entered.
Secondly, Schiller took away all the crystals in the meteorite crater under Arkham Asylum. This thing not only has an effect on humans, but also has a certain impact on carbon-based organisms with weaker constitutions. If used properly, it can be a powerful weapon.
In addition, he got some blood from Batman, and with the spells copied from the underground of Arkham Fortress, he got a phone number that could contact Cthugha. Although Schiller has not tried to call yet, given the good relationship between Cthugha and Naya, this thing will come in handy sooner or later.
