Chapter 69: Gotham City

At this time, it is the rainy season, and the sky is filled with light raindrops, hitting the faces of pedestrians, and the humidity is overwhelming. The sky is always overcast, with dark clouds surrounding Gotham City in layers, and when you look up, the endless dark clouds seem to carry a thrilling sense of oppression.

The citizens of Gotham go about their daily lives, and they have raised their umbrellas, mixed with grumbling complaints from time to time, cursing the hateful weather. Gotham City during the rainy season makes the citizens feel even more irritated, and every time this weather happens, it is the time when the crime rate soars.

"It's damn weather, you have to go out every day and you're fully armed, it's really troublesome." The citizen who spoke quietly put his hand on the pistol at his waist, which would have made him feel at ease. Gotham in the rainy season is really uneasy for the weak, and they are very worried about the safety of their lives and property.

"Isn't it like this every year, what's there to complain about." A homeless man shivered with cold, and it took a lot of effort to ignite the waste from the broken oil drum and roast it comfortably. He listened to the passers-by's curses, grinning his big yellow teeth and letting out an ugly laugh.

This is an elderly homeless man, and the course of his life is the history of Gotham City's development and changes over the past few decades. He lived through the terrifying era of Falcone, witnessed the rise of the Shadow Mystery, witnessed the Dark Knight fighting a terrible foe known as the Shadow Warrior Alliance, and the tens of millions of people in Gotham City were shrouded in the shadow of the Dark Knight.

This old tramp is a living piece of Gotham City's history.

The pedestrians looked at the time, thought about it, and came over to make a fire together, but the ghost weather really froze him so much that he almost lost consciousness with cold hands and feet. The homeless man gestured to him and smiled at him. The pedestrian cursed again and handed over ten dollars, and the homeless man took it mercifully, thus making room for the pedestrian.

"Nice clothes!"

The pedestrian pushed the rain-blurred glasses, only to find that the tattered homeless man was actually wearing an expensive mink coat, although the clothes were torn in many places, probably because the homeless man had been wearing them for a long time. The pedestrian works in the Wayne Group, is a knowledgeable person, and his boss Bruce Wayne likes to wear this kind of clothes for thousands of dollars a piece, which is very stylish, and he can't afford this kind of clothes at all.

The homeless man added another handful of garbage to the broken oil drum as fuel, and he was a little proud when he heard the passers-by talk about the clothes, which was one of the few glorious stories in his life.

"I said it was given to me by Bruce Wayne, believe it or not? It was a very similar day, it was raining, and Bruce Wayne came out of a noble restaurant with a bruised nose and a swollen face, and I was generous enough to let him bake the fire for free - I didn't know any Bruce nobleman at the time, he and we were two worlds, right? But Bruce baked the fire and gave me the dress as a reward, along with a hefty tip. ”

The homeless man gestured, happily recalling the scene of that day, and he continued: "Then one day, the man appeared—the Dark Knight named 'Batman,' who traveled at night like a ghost. That day he knocked down a criminal and gave me a thumbs up for my clothes! He complimented me and said, 'Good clothes!' 'Well, I can't believe it, Batman praised me too!' ”

The homeless man cherished his coat tightly, and a drop of rain fell on it, and the homeless man hurriedly wiped it with his black fingers, looking distressed.

The pedestrians were suspicious, the clothes were given by his boss, and he could barely believe that Bruce had always been so bohemian and had done all sorts of ridiculous things, exactly like Tony Stark in New York City. But what is it that Batman has complimented on his clothes?! Hehehe...... Are you fools to me! That mysterious Dark Knight will always only appear where there are criminals, where is the time to talk to a homeless man?

The citizens of Gotham City are proud to have Batman, and on the night when Batman is around, the citizens can always sleep peacefully. But all kinds of official institutions and dark forces grit their teeth with hatred, this big bastard who doesn't know who has sabotaged their transactions again and again, he has sabotaged the drug and weapons trade of gangsters, destroyed the bribery of public officials, ruined the financial routes of many people, this beam is too big.

But no one has been able to catch this guy so far, never.

"What? You don't believe it? What I'm saying is true! I really spoke to the Dark Knight, Old Jack never lied, everyone knows that! The homeless man was a little anxious, patted the oil drum angrily, blushed and spoke thickly. This is his most glorious history, and some people don't believe it?!

The homeless man grabbed the pedestrian and chattered. The black hand mixed with rain and sludge touched it, leaving a conspicuous handprint on the pedestrian's suit, like a child's graffiti.

"Well, I believe it, I believe it!" The pedestrian raised his hands in surrender, with a look of disgust, "I believe in the head office, right?" Compared to this, I care more about Bruce, he is my food and clothing, Batman or something, it has nothing to do with me. ”

"Lord Bruce...... He's a good man! We poor people all rely on Lord Bruce to survive! I heard that the people from Stark Group are coming, and the two parties are going to exchange military technology......" The homeless man stretched out his voice and stared meaningfully at the passerby, one hand had already been stretched out, and his index finger and thumb were rubbed, making a gesture of counting money.

The pedestrian glared angrily at this little money-greedy homeless man, and walked away without looking back. Just kidding, he's an employee of Wayne Group! The Stark Group sent someone, how could he not know? It's ridiculous! Anyway, he's already baked warm, and he has to hurry up and get to work......

In the rear, there was the regretful sigh of the homeless man, and the pedestrians quickened their pace and walked faster, and he didn't want to stay in this place for a second.

It is not uncommon for the world's most famous giants to cooperate with each other. And the two are not competitive, Stark Group has been concentrating on the military industry for 50 years, while Wayne Enterprises, high-tech is only a part of its many industries, and its tentacles extend to all walks of life.

Gotham City's Ministry of Commerce officials and the CEO of Wayne Group stood at the port early and waited, this kind of standard-breaking greeting behavior is not abrupt at all if it is for Stark Group, the other party is no less than his own giant, the trillion group Stark!

If the two giants cooperate, the interests involved will be too great for the people of Gotham City not to pay attention to, and it is likely to create tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of jobs.
