A native of the United States

Chapter 119 Gotham Reconstruction Plan
"When I was a kid and I had a bad day and I fell in a puddle or scraped a knee, and at the end of the day I was lying in bed, he would pat me on the head and say, 'Bruce, tomorrow is only a dream away. '."

Bruce Wayne was talking about the past, with an imperceptible sadness in his eyes.

The warmth of father and son in the past, now I think of it only pain and sadness.

"That's what he often said. At that time, I didn't quite understand it. I was only comforted by his gentle and loving eyes."

"As most of you know, my father died when I was a child and was shot with my mother in a crime back alley on the other side of town."

He pointed in a certain direction, a direction he would never forget.

An originally narrow and nameless alley became famous because his parents were shot dead. After the crime that shocked Gotham, it has its own unique name-criminal back alley.

"Mr. Wayne is a good man. He did the most charity in Gotham during his lifetime, and he has donated many public facilities in the city so far."

"Mrs. Wayne often visited the children in the orphanage and cared about the life in the orphanage in Gotham."

When this incident was mentioned, everyone at the banquet mourned and sighed, lowered their heads slightly, with a sad look on their faces, as if they were sad for the death of the Wayne couple.

But is it true or not, who knows.

"hypocritical……"

The corner of Catwoman's mouth, who was standing next to Ron, twitched disdainfully.

This group of so-called high-class people likes to put on a show, and some people's expressions are so embarrassing that they pretend to wipe their tears for a long time without seeing any tears.

"The power of money..."

She shook her head slightly, as if lamenting the hypocrisy of people's hearts, all controlled by money.

This group of people just want to please Bruce Wayne.

"It's hard to imagine that this kind of criticism of people's hearts and worship of money came from the mouth of a thief who makes a living by stealing."

Ron glanced at her and smiled slightly.

Is there something wrong with a thief who steals jewelry and cultural relics and berates others for surrendering to money?

"I... I just took those treasures from the hands of those who only have money in their eyes."

Catwoman choked and forced herself to snort.

She steals jewelry and cultural relics purely because she likes them, and most of them are collected by her after stealing them.

She only sells things that are found to be fakes or not beautiful enough.

Appreciation, how can it be called stealing? "I am saving those jewels and cultural relics."

On stage, Bruce Wayne continued.

"As you can imagine, the time he and my mother died were some of the worst days of my life, filled with anger, fear and sadness.

At that time, my father's words, lingering in my mind, comforted me - tomorrow is only a dream away. "

The first half of this passage is true. At that time, he was indeed filled with fear, anger and sadness, but the second half is false.

It is far from easy for a person to let go of the past and look forward to the future. The gunshot in the alley on a snowy night will cause him eternal pain, echoing in his midnight dreams.

"Why should I tell you this, my friends?

Now please look around us.

When we look around at the surrounding buildings and streets, we will find that Gotham is a complex city, backward and advanced coexist, dirty and bright. "

He stretched out his hand to signal that he was finally going to talk about the highlight of tonight.

When he returned to the group and found that his uncle was indeed corrupt and smuggling arms within the Wayne Group, he was angry and found that Alfred was right.

"Father and mother are smarter than me. The energy possessed by the Wayne Group is indeed far greater than what I can change Gotham alone."

Bruce Wayne's eyes flashed sharply.

His uncle used the Wayne Group to smuggle arms, and his business radiated to several countries, which increased the incidents of gangster gunfights in several countries headed by Japan by more than [-] percentage points.

Several small countries in Africa even experienced chaos to overthrow the regime.

Just a part of Wayne Group's power is like this, and Wayne Enterprises is undoubtedly the most precious gift left to him by his parents.

I want to use the Wayne Group to change Gotham, where the gap between the rich and the poor is huge and the darkness is hard to get rid of.

"This city encapsulates the frustration, pain and fear of so many people.

As much as we may have gotten used to it, we've lived with it for decades. "

"But everyone—tomorrow is actually only a dream away!"

He suddenly raised his voice, his eyes were bright, and his deep and passionate words echoed in the hall.

Although his father's words did not soothe his pain when he was young, he believed in them now.

"Tomorrow is not far away, as long as you do it yourself, Gotham will be changed one day is not far away."

The guests at the banquet listened in silence, with astonished and suspicious expressions on their faces. They looked at each other, and they had an inexplicable premonition that Gotham might really have a big earthquake next.

"What does he want to do?"

Catwoman was a little surprised.

As a Gotham native, she was deeply curious.

The meaning revealed by Bruce Wayne is a bit like changing the status quo of the entire city of Gotham.

Having said so much, it is impossible for him to be a thunderbolt and a little rain.

"Look, gentlemen."

On Bruce Wayne's podium, a shrunken model of Gotham suddenly shone with light, like the light of hope that could break through the darkness, and cast a holographic projection of a new urban area, covering the model.

Cardboard models with no technological content and advanced projection technology, low factory buildings, dilapidated small buildings and skyscrapers are in stark contrast.

"So... is that the old industrial city of Gotham?"

Someone said in amazement that it was not only him, but everyone recognized it.

The area of ​​the holographic projection is so large that it almost covers half of Gotham. What is Bruce Wayne going to do?
Someone in the banquet hall opened their mouths wide and looked at Bruce Wayne who was speaking in astonishment.

"Next month, the Wayne Group will make a bold and direct investment in Gotham's future.

Cooperate with many domestic companies to start a plan to rebuild Gotham's backward industrial old city! "

Bruce Wayne announces his grand plan, like a pebble thrown into the sky.

This is almost tearing down more than a third of Gotham!
What courage, no one expected that the first thing Bruce Wayne would do after taking control of the Wayne Group would be so big!

"Everyone, please look forward to it together."

He opened his hands, said in a deep voice, and scanned the field with powerful eyes.

"Great money, no doubt big money.

Mr. Bruce Wayne, I seem to have seen a better future for Gotham. "

"Mr. Wayne, you are the hope of this city!"

After being stunned for a few seconds, the guests in the audience burst into applause, applauding Bruce Wayne's grand plan and the beautiful blueprint he drew.

But there were also quite a few people whose faces turned livid, clapped their hands, and reluctantly agreed.

"Well, this Mr. Wayne managed to shock the audience.

But he took too long a step. "

Catwoman kept applauding politely and smiling stiffly, and said to Ron beside her.

"Look at those people with ugly faces, which one of them is not an important figure in Gotham."

As a person from the bottom of Gotham, she knows best how dark and terrible this city is.

Someone would come to save it, and she'd be more than happy to see it.

But Bruce Wayne was in a hurry.

"Gotham will be very lively..."

Scanning the guests, Ron sighed softly.
