Chapter 295: Gotham is a really weird place
When Xia Yu returned home, he naturally had no idea that Batman would soon have a connection with Constantine.
After all, in the DC that he is familiar with, it seems that Klay Thompson and Batman have only collaborated in the comic "Injustice".
In the story of "Injustice", Constantine's wife died because of the evil Superman. In order to take revenge on Superman, Constantine chose to join Batman's camp to fight against Superman.
However, although the two cooperated, Constantine and Batman obviously did not get along. There was even a funny scene in the comics where Constantine pointed at Batman and cursed, "You're useless."
Inside a cheap apartment .
Xia Yu lay on his creaky, rotten wooden bed, his eyes dull as he fell into thought.
Why is he still living in this crappy place when he is so awesome? He has money already, why doesn't he move to a better place to live?
Tsk, time is too tight and I haven't had time to buy myself something. This won't do. It's fine to live in a crappy apartment when I don't have money, but if I still live in a crappy apartment when I have money, then all my money would be wasted.
But when it comes to houses, Xia Yu thinks of Wayne Real Estate. When it comes to Wayne Real Estate, he thinks of Wayne Hospital, Wayne Department Store, Wayne Industries, Wayne Bank, etc.
In Gotham, the Wayne Group has been involved in all aspects of society, including aviation, transportation, aircraft manufacturing, biotechnology, chemistry, construction, electricity, energy, entertainment, food, medical care, manufacturing, mining, oil, retail, securities, steel, weapons, ocean shipping, etc.
It is obviously a city, but under the influence of Wayne Enterprises, it has almost formed a closed loop. So why is Bruce so rich? Because no matter how he spends money, it is like transferring it from his left hand to his right hand, and the money will eventually return to his hands.
But speaking of this, Xia Yu suddenly thought of a mourning picture, which showed the clown and his harley Quinn wrapped in down jackets, and the clown was holding a few bags of vegetables in his hands.
The text in the picture reads, "After playing Batman for a day, you still have to buy groceries yourself and go home to cook. After all, not everyone is as rich as Bruce Wayne."
What should I say? Xia Yu felt that this picture was not accurate. To be precise, the criminals from Gotham drove the Wayne Group's car to Wayne Bank to rob money, then went to Wayne Department Store to buy groceries, and then returned to the house purchased from Wayne Real Estate to cook with kitchenware manufactured by Wayne Industries.
Xia Yu: “…”
He felt like he almost didn't recognize the word Wayne anymore...
It’s true that Gotham is Batman’s personal amusement park. This directly indicates that Gotham’s surname is Wayne.
“The evil capitalist class.”
Xia Yu cursed Batman angrily. Thinking carefully, Bruce Wayne could almost become the final product of Gotham.
No, I can't buy a house. Isn't this just like giving money to Bruce Wayne? Although he probably wouldn't care about this little money...
After all, the other party possesses the omnipotent "money power".
The next day, in front of a building.
Xia Yu looked at the building with satisfaction. He did not go to Wayne Real Estate to buy a house, but directly used Falcone's power to get this building.
Although Falcone is dead, his power will not suddenly disappear, and Xia Yu directly controls all the senior personnel under Falcone, which is equivalent to him directly replacing Falcone as the leader of Gotham's largest gang.
By the way, the same is true for Black Mask. Now two of the three major gangs in Gotham have changed their surnames to Xia.
However, Xia Yu does not want to become a gang boss or something. Now he is just temporarily controlling the two gangs. He will go to find Zhou Hao later and then start training as the Dark Godfather.
As for himself, of course he would start a company and then start a leisurely life of slacking off, although the Wayne family almost dominated all industries.
But Black Mask and Falcone still had some overt business, which naturally belonged to him now. He also had technology from other worlds, so he had no worries about having no selling points.
As for the name of the company, Xia Yu found the memory of Marvel Xia Yu starting a company in the memory of the novice gift package, so he was too lazy to think about it again and continued to call it Talos.
And now this building is the starting point of the company.
Although the building needed to be renovated, the top floor had already been prepared and it served as both his room and his office.
After admiring this building that belonged to him for a while, Xia Yu walked into the building and went directly to the top floor.
The office on the top floor has a floor-to-ceiling window, through which you can look down directly at the densely packed crowd below.
Looking at the people of Gotham struggling for their lives below, Xia Yu suddenly sighed. This is the life of ordinary people. There are not so many magical events happening in reality.
Occasional robberies and bank robberies are already the biggest events that Gotham residents encounter. How could there be a small explosion every three days and a big explosion every five days?
While thinking about it, Xia Yu's eyes wandered around. This high view was really great, and he was a little addicted to it.
No wonder everyone curses capitalists, everyone wants to be a capitalist.
As he was floating, he suddenly saw an energetic old man in the top floor room of a hotel not far away.
The old man looked to be in his fifties. He was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the Wayne Building in the distance with a complicated expression. His sight contained all kinds of complex emotions, and it was obvious at a glance that it was another old fan-shaped diagram.
As if noticing Xia Yu's gaze, the old man turned his head and looked in Xia Yu's direction, and the two gazes suddenly collided.
Xia Yu raised his eyebrows, a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, then he made a heart shape with his left hand, put his index and middle fingers together with his right hand in front of his mouth, and blew a kiss...
"???"
The old man's expression suddenly changed, and he shuddered with an evil look on his face. Then he turned around and left the French window in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
Seeing this scene, Xia Yu couldn't help but burst into laughter, then he opened his spiritual perception and covered the hotel.
Although he didn't know the identity of the old man just now, the aura on his body was definitely not that of an ordinary person, well, an ordinary person.
Meanwhile, on the top floor of the hotel.
Ninja Master Lei Xiaogu looked doubtful about his life. When his daughter Talia saw her father's strange expression, she couldn't help but worry.
"What's wrong? Father, did you find something?"
"No." Lei Xiaogu shook his head at his daughter, looking like he didn't know what to say, "It's just... Alas."
"Gotham is such a sick place..."
After Lei Xiaogu sighed , his expression became serious.
"By the way, has Bruce Wayne's invitation been given to him?"
Talia looked a little uncomfortable when she heard this question, but she nodded.
"I have already invited him, father. It's just...are we really going to cooperate with those criminals? Our goal is obviously world peace."
"If you want to accomplish extraordinary things, you must use extraordinary means ." Lei Xiaogu looked at Talia seriously and said.
"If we don't destroy Gotham in front of Bruce, he will not give up. Gotham is already rotten, and his approach is not even a drop in the bucket. Only by destroying Gotham directly and rebuilding it on the ruins can we truly save Gotham."
"Only if Gotham is saved will he be with you. All this is necessary for the sake of my future son-in-law."
As soon as Talia thought of Bruce, her hesitation disappeared and her face was full of determination .
"I understand, father. I will definitely make Bruce change his mind."
