Chapter 112: Gotham in Progress (Part 1)

In the splendid banquet hall, the huge chandelier composed of hundreds of candles shone brilliantly, the silver tableware and crystal plates emitted a dazzling luster, the champagne tower was like a small golden mountain, and the silk tablecloth hung smoothly. Below, the men's leather shoes are polished to a shine, and the women's high heels are inlaid with gems and pearls.

The gorgeous skirt is like a curtain hanging from the Milky Way. When her footsteps slide along with the brisk dance music, hazy light spots surround the tie and the hem of the skirt. The tall Bruce gently holds Selena's waist and stays with her. Spinning on the dance floor.

On the surface, they appear to be the most well-matched couple on the dance floor. He is handsome in a blue suit and leather shoes. His tall figure exudes masculine charm all the time. Although Catwoman is relatively petite, her body curves are very smooth. Year-round exercise has given her a She has smoother muscle lines than other ladies. The fishtail skirt inlaid with diamonds wraps up her sexy figure very well. On the exposed neck, she wears a necklace composed of pink diamonds, emeralds and sapphires. , that dazzling diamond light made Selena the most dazzling presence on the entire dance floor.

Of course, it only looks harmonious on the surface. As a Catwoman stepping into this kind of social situation for the first time, of course it is impossible for her to dance peacefully.

"Take your eyes back..." Bruce whispered in her ear: "It's rude to stare at others like that.

"I like the string of pearls on her wrist, especially the biggest one inside. The luster is so charming." Catwoman blinked her big eyes and stared directly at the pearls on the wrist of another woman on the dance floor. Bracelet.

Just as Bruce was about to open his mouth to continue to dissuade, Catwoman withdrew her eyes and stared at Bruce. Selina had a pair of very beautiful green eyes. The green was richer and more pure than the emeralds around her neck. While looking at her like this, Bruce's mind went blank. He swallowed his words again and changed to: "...If you like pearls, I can also give you a bunch."

Catwoman said: "I know, you just want to stop me from stealing it. Well, although I didn't listen to the rules of the banquet you told me before, but I also know that I can't steal things here..."

Bruce was almost moved. The fight between him and the cat could be described as tragic.

First of all, Catwoman is a girl from the slums, and she is not very old now. The scope of her theft is basically limited to Gotham City, and she has not participated in any decent high-end parties.

No cat would like to wear high heels that are extremely inconvenient for walking and a fishtail skirt that cannot open the legs. Just to persuade her to wear this dress, Bruce almost used his lifelong eloquence, and ended up wearing it. The first fishtail skirt was torn because Selena took too big a step.

In the end, Bruce had to tell Selina that the dress was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and all the gems on it were expensive natural gems. Only then did Bruce stop the cat from using her gorgeous acrobatic skills to destroy anything similar to the dress. .

Then, within ten minutes of putting the necklace on her neck, one of the gems on it disappeared. Bruce didn't even see how Catwoman pulled the gem off. In the end, it was him and the jewelry again. The designer and clothing consultant talked for dozens of minutes before Selena finally got a complete necklace to stay around her neck.

Catwoman has very beautiful and sexy black hair. In the past, when she was stealing, she would gather the hair and wrap it in the hood. She rarely took care of the hair carefully, resulting in it being always a little messy. Doing hair When she was young, she could stand up from her chair seven times in ten minutes, and Bruce had to sit next to her and watch her all the time.

It was finally done. When she was riding in the luxury car to the venue, Catwoman felt like she had a nail on her butt. She couldn't sit still. Bruce, who was originally sitting in the passenger seat, had to sit in the back seat with her. Go up, and then you can stop her crazy behavior of digging out all the wine in the car refrigerator because of anxiety and excitement.

Not to mention when they arrived at the venue, Catwoman always stared at the various jewelry and jewelry on the other ladies and wives. Bruce was simply on tenterhooks, fearing that if he couldn't watch for a second, those jewelry and jewelry would be gone. Gone.

Only then did Bruce discover that Catwoman might not just be suffering from kleptomania. She definitely had other mental problems. She was really too much like a cat, both in terms of behavioral logic and psychological state.

However, Catwoman is very interested in becoming a star, because in her opinion, once she becomes a star, she can hang all those gems on her body and show their beauty to the world.

Despite this, Catwoman still has a long way to go.

While Catwoman and Bruce were fighting, the gang was also very busy. After a period of intensive construction in Gotham City, hundreds of warehouses were built. Although this was a good thing, it also brought some problems.

Originally, the municipal planning of Gotham City was made by the original builder, the original Court of Owls. After Falcone ruled the city, the old godfather further transformed Gotham City according to the Roman city plan. , Wayne Group has always had a tacit understanding with Falcone, and they also planned the outskirts of Gotham.

The problem now is that there are so many warehouses and new service facilities in various industries, such as rest stops for truck drivers, temporary roadside restaurants, loading and unloading points at docks, newly opened gas stations, etc. These buildings were built suddenly. Because they were built too hastily, they are not good-looking. More importantly, there is no planning for the buildings, which makes the urban planning of Gotham City become somewhat unreasonable.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

The gang boss often builds a warehouse and its supporting facilities on the land he takes. Another boss does the same. This leads to many supporting facilities that are not far away, but they are repeated. However, in far away places, some warehouses with smaller land do not have these facilities. Drivers and other personnel have to drive to farther places to find these facilities, which increases traffic pressure again.

This also leads to the fact that the entire logistics planning system of Gotham City cannot calculate the most perfect route, because the infrastructure is not set up reasonably. Victor's hair is almost white, but he can't come up with a standard answer.

After running for a period of time, the accuracy and efficiency of logistics are still a mess, and the relatively regular urban environment that Falcone and the Wayne family worked hard to plan has also been destroyed by these warehouse supporting facilities and the night markets that have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

The main contradiction in Gotham City now is that the hardware requirements brought about by rapid economic development cannot be met by the backward urban structure.

In order to adapt to this capitalist revival, Gotham City urgently needs a major reconstruction.

Do you want to say, does Gotham City have the power to rebuild? Of course there is. Falcone has ruled Gotham City for so many years, it is impossible that he has not saved up this little capital, not to mention the Wayne Group. Even if the twelve families get together, it is enough to rebuild the city.

But the problem is that they are now people with money. The several urban planning experts they invited shook their heads and were pointed at by the gangsters with guns. They could only say that there was no way. The difficulty lies in the planning that exceeds the calculation amount of ordinary people.

Some experts can come up with a plan, but this plan cannot satisfy everyone. Either the aesthetics are not good enough or the functions are insufficient. Falcone and Wayne Group are unwilling to completely abandon the aesthetics and focus on the functions, because they have a longer-term vision. One day, Gotham's industry will be transformed and upgraded, and the aesthetics of the city structure will come in handy one day.

In the end, after swinging, turning, and throwing, the problem still came back to Schiller.

Schiller has been busy with another thing recently. Before, when the claws came to him, he had expected that the Owl Court would come out to mess up sooner or later.

But what puzzled him was that since that time, he could not find any trace of the Owl Court at all. The organization seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. Schiller used his connections and means to turn around in the city for several days, but he did not find any suspicious people suspected of the claws.

Don't forget that after Schiller's gray fog dispersed, he could collect microscopic intelligence. In recent days, he has swept through half of Gotham City one after another, but he didn't find anything.

This made Schiller suspicious. He was not afraid of the enemy revealing his true colors, but he was afraid that the enemy would hide completely and he didn't know what conspiracy he was doing.

Logically speaking, the Court of Owls had already been dispatched, so there was no reason to retreat halfway. He believed that the claws were definitely not only aimed at him, but all the people who might have played a role in the Gotham reform this time.

Before launching this plan, Schiller was prepared for these people to face a wave of assassinations from the Court of Owls.

But what confused him now was that the Court of Owls was gone!

Not to mention the claws, he didn't even see a hair of an owl. What happened to the Court of Owls? Abandoned Gotham and went on a collective vacation?

The problem of the Court of Owls has not been completely solved. Schiller is hesitant about the reconstruction of Gotham, because he knows that in some comic versions, the Court of Owls added a metal with mysterious power to the buildings in Gotham.

This metal will cause Gotham City to become darker and crazier. Although Schiller has taken samples from some buildings in Gotham City and found nothing special, he is not sure whether he can identify this mysterious substance.

But once the major reconstruction of Gotham City begins, it will definitely touch the core interests of the Court of Owls and usher in their fierce counterattack. If they are not fully prepared in advance, the core figures of these reforms may suffer heavy losses.

But other family leaders, including Bruce and Falcone, feel that Schiller was so decisive in coming up with a reform plan, and it was quite effective, so he is not the kind of person who looks ahead and behind.

But this time, he showed hesitation, perhaps there were some places they did not notice, so the original rapid reconstruction momentum gradually slowed down.

On the other hand, although Catwoman wanted to be a big star, she was really impatient with those courses. Bruce watched her too strictly, fearing that she would go out to steal something and offend someone again.

Catwoman was almost going crazy, and finally one day, she found a gap and sneaked out.

However, her sneaking action did not escape the eyes of the old butler Alfred. Bruce got the news immediately and quickly sent people to find her. Catwoman hadn't had enough fun yet and didn't want to go back with Bruce. She was chased up and down and had no choice but to run to the sewer.
