Chapter 3334: Old City New Night (Part 1)

Cat Getan City always possesses an astonishing vitality. Even though it was as chaotic as a battlefield just a few months ago, in the span of a mere few days, it has once again presented a scene of flourishing prosperity.

The streets were hung with Christmas decorations, golden little bells reflected the light of the snow, the colorful decorations on the Christmas tree reflected each other, the wooden reindeer statue had a red nose on its nose, candy canes were neatly hung in the shop windows, and children passing through the streets sang Christmas carols.

Batman, who almost controlled the entire upper-class society of Cat Getan, didn't need that much money. He invested part of the funds into the municipal system, and the other part was quite simply distributed to ordinary people as Christmas welfare. This was destined to be a warm and happy Christmas.

The operating system of Cat Getan State was actually not very unusual, because it was a similar operating mode in the Marvel New York State where Greed was located. Independent legislative power and tax policies could ensure that the government system always gave way to economic development, allowing the city to always become a benchmark for economic development on the East Coast, thereby radiating the underdeveloped areas around it.

When it comes to handling government affairs, the Pale Knight is adept and efficient; the only thing that makes him somewhat unhappy is that he is now forced to join forces with the Penguin. Because Cat Getan, having become an independent state, needs a Congressman with weight, and the Penguin is the only choice.

Batman's condition is actually quite good. He is starting to believe what Catwoman said.

After being arrested by the IRS, Batman's weapons were all confiscated, including that Batarang he had been longing for. Since then, his mental state has improved to a certain extent, and coupled with taking over the resources of the upper class and being busy for a period of time, he has long since lost that feeling of emptiness and depression.

Schiller is currently in front of Paul's hospital bed. This big guy is lying on the bed looking at his medical report, and to his shock, his tumor has completely disappeared.

"It's simply a medical miracle," Paul exclaimed, "How on earth did you do it? Do you know magic?"

"There is someone else who knows magic." Schiller shook his head and smiled, saying, "How does it feel to learn that you are the true descendant of the Wei En family?"

"Not great," Paul replied, "I don't know. If I had received an elite education since childhood, I don't know if I would have become someone capable of handling so many things, but at least I can't now. So, it's better to leave it to Bruce Wei En."

"Then what are your plans for the future?"

"Bruce Wei En has returned to his old profession, so naturally, I must also do what I should do. Batman probably won't have time to come out and operate recently, but the Angel of Death will not let any criminal go."

"It seems you want to be a superhero?"

"No. What I'm going to strike is not street crime. Before Bavier left, he gave me a list."

"Are you working for the IRS now?"

Paul touched his beard and said: "I am just completing the revenge mission I haven't finished. There are still several high-level executives of the Odine Company who haven't been caught yet."

"Alright, but you'd better not make too much of a scene, otherwise Gordon won't let you off."

Schiller put down the coffee cup in his hand and said: "Then what about Brad? What do you think of him?"

"Same as before, he is a cunning devil, and there isn't a single word of truth in his mouth. He took care of me just for his boring, twisted sense of humor." Paul shook his head and said, "However, considering he did save me, if one day he becomes homeless, I could take him in."

"That couldn't be better." Schiller revealed a smile.

In Dr. Thompkins' clinic, the midnight miracle doctor Piet held the diagnosis report and exclaimed: "It's simply a miracle. How on earth did he cure so many people's cancer overnight?"

"I guess it has something to do with that red pill," Dr. Thompkins said, holding another document, "My research considered all possibilities, except for magic. But if it is magic, it's not strange that it could be done."

Piet laughed and said: "Using drugs as bait to trick people into taking medicine is truly a brilliant idea."

"He made quite a lot of money," Dr. Thompkins said, "Although this thing sold cheaply at first, it went up in price later, and the supply was very sufficient, squeezing most traditional drugs out of the market and bankrupting several distributors. It can be considered a good thing."

In Wei En Tower, Batman also held the research report on the red pill. This new medicine, which can reverse the cancer caused by the Odine Company's instruments, turned out to be the new type of drug that was popular in Cat Getan before.

Thanks to the previous loose drug policy in New Jersey, the sales of the red pill were very good, which led to most patients who had cancer due to instrument radiation recovering overnight.

But if Schiller did it, it's not strange. He is good at doing every good deed in a strange way.

What Batman has a headache about now is another matter: his good assistant, Lucius Fox, who has just recovered from a serious illness, submitted his resignation, and now is exactly when he is short of manpower.

"You really should reconsider, Lucius." Batman tried very hard to persuade him on the phone, "I don't think there is any other group in this world that can provide you with the treatment and platform like the Wei En Group..."

Holding the phone, Fox looked at the other Bruce opposite him, sighed, and said: "I just need to take a vacation for a while, Bruce. Perhaps soon I will be able to help again."

After hanging up the phone, Fox signed the contract. Bruce revealed a satisfied smile; he walked up, shook hands with Fox, and then said: "Welcome to the job, sir. You will like the atmosphere of my Wei En Group; my employees are much more capable than the ones under you."

"They are just too capable," Fox complained, "Although I know it's not good to leave when Bruce needs me most, I also have the responsibility for the poor supervision of the internal situation of the Wei En Group. While the liquidation is not yet completely over, I'd better avoid suspicion."

"Believe me, working for any Wei En is the same, isn't it?"

Fox was noncommittal. He spoke again: "Actually, what makes me more curious is, since you come from another almost identical universe, where did the Lucius Fox of that universe go?"

Bruce revealed an awkward expression.

"So this was your fundamental purpose." Schiller pushed open the door of the Arkham Asylum office.

"This is not enough." Bruce said, "You have to help me persuade the Pale Knight to give up the position of Governor to the Penguin, so that he can smoothly enter Congress, and then go to my universe to replace Luo Yi's position as Mayor."

Schiller rolled his eyes slightly; Bruce's abacus beads were almost popping onto his face.

"You are simply the biggest human trafficker in the multiverse."

"Thanks for the compliment."

Bruce nodded, not ashamed but proud. This was indeed the main reason why he was so active regarding the Pale Knight's universe.

I believe everyone still remembers that because Bruce did not return to the Wei En Group for a long time, the group was left without a leader and was hit hard by the Luthor Group. Its business scope was severely suppressed, and the capable employees were almost all poached.

And the Lucius Fox of that universe was one of them; he went directly to Metropolis to develop. Bruce Wei En? Who? Really don't know him. He is now the CEO of the Luthor Group.

Although the current Wei En Group has almost become a Siberian Forest Cat breeding base, it still needs a capable and loyal executor. The Fox of his own universe can no longer be counted on, so Bruce can only go to other universes to poach one.

But as the saying goes, since he's already here. It just so happens that Luo Yi has also gone to the State Legislature, and Gordon, as Commissioner, is too indispensable to be promoted, so the position of Mayor of Cat Getan City has been unsettled for a long time. Bruce can only cast his gaze toward other universes.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of Cat Getan mayors are either the Penguin or in collusion with the Penguin. Bruce picked and chose, and only the Pale Knight is somewhat reliable, so he can only choose him.

What? You ask what happened to the Penguin of this universe?

It can only be said that in the team battle of besieging the Wei En Group, the one that dealt the most damage was the Luthor Group, followed by the Iceberg Group. They are now operating real estate and chain entertainment industries quite successfully, and have no interest in the Mayor's position at all.

So Bruce's visit this time is actually to headhunt, but if the situation in Cat Getan in this universe is too bad, then no one will benefit. The Pale Knight is even less able to leave, so he can only cure the illness first and then poach the important cells.

Bruce was not worried at all about whether the Pale Knight was willing to leave. After all, the one helping him here is Greed, whose main style is never to rely on the kindness of others, but to leave them with no choice.

The Pale Knight indeed had no choice, because Schiller persuaded Harley, and Harley is almost due.

Previous prenatal check-up results already showed that Harley is pregnant with twins. Although it seems that inhaling toxic gas does not have much impact on the children, no one can be sure about this. The Pale Knight needs better medical conditions to ensure the safety of his wife and children.

The era of the Pale Knight's universe is not advanced enough, not yet 2010, and obviously does not have such technical means. And the Marvel universe where Greed is located has already entered the stage of space development, and the medical level is far superior to this side.

Moreover, with the experience of Pepper and the Scarlet Witch, that side has plenty of means to deal with various pregnancy accidents, and giving birth there would be a better choice.

Alright, this is just the official explanation version. The real situation is that Harley just wants to go there and play wildly with a big belly, and the Pale Knight is worried about her, so he can only follow.

After successfully persuading the Pale Knight, Schiller took stock of his gains from this trip in the office of the Municipal Building.

He really didn't receive any reward this time, because his purpose in helping Bruce was actually to prepare for the big work of Pride and Bruce later. Strengthening the Cat Getan of their universe is the best harvest.

Of course, he also collected a little interest, such as Brad's house. This stingy devil finally agreed to give him the pharmacy and the house on Bourbon Street to prevent Greed from chasing him to other universes to annoy him.

DC's Heaven and Hell are cross-universe; devils can travel through different individual universes, and their houses are the same. This means Greed has a fixed residence in every DC universe. Although not every universe has a Bourbon Street, as long as you open a door with a special magic key, you can enter Brad's house.

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 relatively weak constitutions. If used well, it is a great weapon.

In addition, he got some blood from Batman, and combined with the spells transcribed from the basement of Arkham Fortress, he got the phone number to contact Cthugha. Although Schiller hasn't tried calling yet, just based on the good relationship between Cthugha and Nyarlathotep, this thing will come in handy sooner or later.
