Chapter 22: The Dinner

Funded by the Urban Development Foundation, the dinner brought together all the leaders involved in the Gotham Port Redevelopment Project, including union leaders, factory owners, entrepreneurs, and ...... Gang leader.

Don't be surprised, in Gotham, gangsters have infiltrated every aspect of city life, through money laundering methods such as appointing agents, opening casinos, setting up purse companies, as well as professional elite lawyers, coupled with the corrupt Gotham justice system,

Gang leaders can easily break away from low-level criminal activities, go in and out of high-end consumption places, and hang out with those "upper-class people".

Even many large enterprises that support Gotham's GDP are behind these gangsters, and they have specially opened banks dedicated to large-scale money laundering, inviting the rich to deposit US dollars in them, after all, the security of gangster banks is much stricter than that of others....

The glittering Schrowaltsch chandelier hangs beneath the intricately painted dome and illuminates the glittering hall, while white silk table mats are topped by plates of champagne and ice cubes, hidden in delicate gold vessels.

A lady in a backless evening gown pours a glass of wine with a goblet, her high heels tapping on the steps, and the smell of soft perfume on her body, inadvertently revealing the precious jewels given by her lover, trying her best to compete for beauty and stand tall above the other ladies.

As for the gentlemen in suits and leather shoes, they gathered in the corner, talking about the future of Gotham City with their eyebrows fluttering.

"Everyone's been having a bad time lately, and that damn Batman has sent five of my men at the docks to the hospital, and if I hadn't had some friendship with the senator, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to keep those guns."

"You've got your luck in the, a cargo ship under my name was scuttled through the bottom of the ship by the cloaked madman before it even entered the port, and I had to call the coast guard for help."

A group of tough and ruthless gang leaders gathered together, chattering and pouring bitter water on each other,

With that damn playboy Bruce Wayne whimsically proposing a plan to rebuild Gotham Harbor, the capitalists and bureaucrats who had been like glue came up like sharks smelling blood, coveting the opportunity.

First up is Lincoln March, the C.O.O. (Chief Operating Officer) of March Ventures, and the most powerful candidate for the position of mayor of Gotham City.

It is said that the heroic and young Gotham star grew up in an orphanage funded by the Wayne Group called Aoyagi Cottage, and showed his talent for numbers from a young age, starting as a low-level trader on the stock exchange as an adult, and building a huge business empire from scratch.

In the year of the mayoral campaign, March Ventures sponsored the Wayne Group's Gotham Port redevelopment plan, and at the same time made a political campaign to encourage a large number of the city's wealthy to vote for Lincoln March by convincing them that the new Gotham Port would provide more wealth.

In this case, the current mayor Mr. Hardy, who is secretly colluding with the gangsters, is also difficult to support alone, and does not dare to make any big moves to help the gangsters, after all, the mayor's position may change hands at any time, and at this time he is still acting recklessly.

Thinking of this, the gang leaders all looked bitter, staring at the slowly rising bubbles of champagne in the wine glasses and were silent.

At this moment, Mr. Richard Sapa, the contemporary head of the Italian mafia family, walked into the hall, patted the waists of the two beauties beside him and told the ladies to leave, while he came to the circle where the gang leaders gathered, carrying the pitch-black carbon aluminum alloy cane with skulls.

"Mr. Tian Gang I know is not so entangled and depressed, like a blonde girl who has been deceived and abandoned by her unscrupulous Beatles boyfriend."

Richard smiled and took the wine glass from the silver platter brought by the waiter, and still said calmly to the leader of the Gotham City Yamaguchi-gumi, Tian Ganggenichi: "You must know that you took a Chicago typewriter with a 50-round magazine and single-handedly killed more than a dozen of my subordinates, and determined that the Yamaguchi-gumi can have a place in this city." ”

"But that was twenty years ago, wasn't it?" Tian Gangyuan sighed, "Now our territory is constantly being squeezed, starting from the port on the border, and gradually eroding ....."

No one in the circle spoke, except for the melodious classical music that served as the background sound of the dinner, like Bruce Wayne's long elegy for the Gotham gangsters.

Richard looked around and looked directly at the constipated expressions on the faces of the gang leaders, and coughed heavily.

"For God's sake, are you chemically castrated? Nests, fears, splendour, brilliance can not be all day long, grass! We, mother, are the masters of this city, the masters of the lives and deaths of others. ”

Richard slammed his cane against the marble floor with a dull thud, his gaze like a razor-red blade slicing through the fragile shells of the other mob leaders and slicing open the filthy hearts, "Bruce Wayne wants us to get out of the city, then we should make him pay." ”

"At what cost?" The leader of the Russian gang asked hoarsely with a cold and rude face: "He is the only seedling of the Wayne family, the leader of the Wayne group, after murdering him, we will be completely eradicated by those nobles with cold lips and teeth." ”

"Who said I was going to kill him?"

Richardra tugged at the collar and let the air blow into the white fat chest, and said with a sneer: "Doesn't he have anyone else worth caring about?" ”

Tian Gangyuan took a sip of wine, moistened his dry lips, and asked nervously, "Who?" ”

"Rachel Dawes, an assistant prosecutor at the Gotham District Attorney's Office, was a close friend of Mr. Bruce Wayne when she was a child. ”

"Someone from the District Attorney's Office?! Are you crazy, this is Gotham, after all, it is a civilized city, not Chechnya or Syria!! ”

"So what?" Richard's eyes almost narrowed into a slit, he impatiently spat dark green phlegm into the wine glass, and said indifferently: "Find a few thugs to kidnap her, take a few photos and secretly give them to Bruce Wayne, this eldest young master will retreat in order to save the beauty of the hero, and keep silent about the reconstruction of the port." ”

"And what about Lincoln March?"

"Leave him alone, when the Wayne Group withdraws, his dream of becoming mayor will be shattered."
