Chapter 112: Gotham in Progress (1)

In the splendid banquet hall, the huge chandelier composed of hundreds of candles shone with brilliant light. The silver tableware and crystal plates emitted dazzling luster. The champagne tower was like a small golden mountain. The silk tablecloth fell smoothly, and the men’s leather shoes were polished to shine. The high heels of the ladies were inlaid with gems and pearls.

The gorgeous skirt hem was like a curtain hanging down from the Milky Way. When the footsteps slid with the lively dance music, the hazy light spots circled between the tie and the skirt corner. The tall Bruce gently held Selina’s waist and spun with her in the dance floor.

On the surface, they were the most compatible couple on the dance floor. Handsome Bruce was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. His tall figure exuded masculine charm all the time. Although Catwoman was relatively petite, her body curve was very smooth. Years of exercise gave her more fluent muscle lines than other ladies. The fishtail skirt inlaid with broken diamonds wrapped her sexy body contour well. On her exposed neck, she wore a necklace composed of pink diamonds, emeralds and sapphires. The dazzling diamond light made Selina the most dazzling existence in the entire dance floor.

Of course, it only looks harmonious on the surface. As a catwoman who stepped into this kind of social occasion for the first time, it is impossible to dance obediently.

“Take back your gaze…” Bruce whispered in her ear: “It’s impolite to stare at others like this.”

“I like that string of pearls on her wrist, especially the largest one inside. That luster is really fascinating.” Catwoman blinked her big eyes and stared straight at another lady’s pearl bracelet on the dance floor.

Bruce was about to open his mouth to continue to dissuade, but Catwoman took back her gaze and then stared at Bruce. Selina has a pair of very beautiful green eyes. That green is more dense and pure than the emerald gemstone on her neck. When being stared at by this kind of gaze, Bruce’s brain is already blank. The words that came to his mouth were swallowed back and turned into: “If you like pearls, I can also give you a string.”

Catwoman said: “I know that you are just trying to stop me from stealing it. Well, although I didn’t listen to what you said about banquet rules before, I also know that I can’t steal things here…”

Bruce was simply moved. His struggle with this cat can be described as tragic.

First of all, Catwoman is a girl from a slum and she is not very old now. The scope of theft is basically limited to Gotham City.

And she has never participated in any decent high-end gatherings.

No cat would like to wear high heels that are extremely inconvenient for walking and fishtail skirts that cannot open their legs. Just persuading her to put on this dress almost took Bruce’s lifelong eloquence. As a result, the first fishtail skirt she put on was torn because Selina took too big steps.

In the end Bruce had to tell Selina that this skirt was worth tens of thousands of dollars and all the gems on it were expensive natural gems.

This stopped the cat from using her gorgeous acrobatic skills to destroy all similar clothing.

Then, a gem on the necklace on her neck disappeared within ten minutes of wearing it. Bruce didn’t even see how Catwoman pried the gem off. In the end, he and the jewelry designer and clothing consultant talked for dozens of minutes.

Selina finally let a complete necklace stay on her neck.

Catwoman has very beautiful and sexy black hair. In the past, when she was stealing, she would gather these hairs and wrap them in a head cover. She rarely took care of these hairs carefully, causing them to always be a bit messy. When doing her hair, she stood up from the chair seven times in ten minutes. Bruce had to sit next to her and stare at her all the time.

It was finally done. When sitting in a luxury car on the way to the venue, Catwoman was like sitting on a nail. She couldn’t sit still no matter what. Bruce, who was originally sitting in the co-pilot’s seat, had to sit with her in the back seat. Then he could stop her crazy behavior of pouring out all the wine in the car refrigerator because of anxiety and excitement.

When they arrived at the venue, let alone mention it. Catwoman always stared straight at various jewelry and jewelry on other ladies. Bruce was worried that if he couldn’t watch for a second, those jewelry would fly away.

Bruce then discovered that what Catwoman suffered from might not only be kleptomania. Her spirit definitely has other problems. She really looks like a cat too much, whether it is behavioral logic or psychological state.

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

Despite this, Catwoman’s growth path is still very long.

While Catwoman and Bruce were pulling each other, there was also something to do on the gangster side. After a period of construction in Gotham City, hundreds of warehouses emerged from the ground. Although this is a good thing, it also brings some problems.

Originally, Gotham City’s urban planning was made by the original builders, that is, the first generation of Owl Court. After Falcone ruled this city, the old godfather further transformed Gotham City according to the planning of Rome’s urban area. Wayne Group has always had an understanding with Falcone. The outskirts of Gotham are also planned by them.

The problem now is that there are so many warehouses suddenly appearing out of nowhere, as well as new service facilities built by various industries such as rest stations for truck drivers, temporary roadside catering points, loading and unloading points at docks, newly opened gas stations etc., these buildings were suddenly built up because they were built too hastily. Not to mention that they are not good-looking. More importantly, unplanned buildings have caused Gotham City’s urban planning to become somewhat unreasonable.

The gang leader often takes down a piece of land and builds a warehouse and its supporting facilities on that piece of land alone. Another leader does the same. This has resulted in many supporting facilities that are not far apart but are repeated.

Some warehouses with smaller plots 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 caused Gotham City’s entire logistics planning system to be unable to calculate the most perfect route because the setting of the infrastructure is not reasonable enough. Victor’s hair was almost white, and he couldn’t come up with a standard answer.

After running for a period of time, the accuracy and efficiency of logistics are still a mess. Moreover, the originally relatively regular urban environment planned by Falcone and Wayne family with great pains was also destroyed by these towering warehouse supporting facilities and night markets that emerged like bamboo shoots after a rain.

The main contradiction in Gotham City now is that the demand for hardware 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 that Gotham City has no power to rebuild? Of course there is. Falcone has ruled Gotham City for so many years. It is impossible not to save even this capital. Not to mention Wayne Group. Even if the twelve families get together, it is enough to rebuild this city again. But the problem is that they are now waiting for people with money. The several urban planning experts who were invited shook their heads one after another. Even if they were pointed at by gangsters with guns, they could only say that there was no way. The difficulty lies in this planning beyond ordinary people’s calculations.

Some experts can come up with a plan, but this plan cannot satisfy everyone. Either it is not beautiful enough or it is not functional enough. Falcone and Wayne Group are unwilling to completely abandon aesthetics and focus on function because their vision is longer-term. One day, Gotham’s industry will have to transform and upgrade. The beauty of urban construction will come in handy one day.

In the end, after tossing around, turning around, throwing around, this problem still came back to Schiller.

And Schiller has been busy with another thing recently. Before Claw found him, he had expected that the Owl Court would come out sooner or later.

But what made him feel confused was that since then, he couldn’t find any trace of the Owl Court at all. This organization seemed to disappear out of thin air. Schiller used his own connections and methods to turn left and right in the city for several days without finding any suspicious characters suspected of being Claw.

Don’t forget that after Schiller’s fog dissipates, he can collect intelligence that is accurate to the micro level. In the past few days, he has scanned half of Gotham City in succession and found nothing.

This made Schiller suspicious. He was not afraid of the enemy showing his feet, but he was afraid that the enemy would completely hide and not know what conspiracy he was doing. It stands to reason that since the Owl Court has been dispatched, there is no reason to shrink back halfway. He believes that Claw is definitely not only aimed at him, but at all characters who may have played a role in this Gotham reform.

Before Schiller started this plan, he was ready for these people to face a wave of assassinations from the Owl Court.

But now what confuses him is that the Owl Court is gone!

Not to mention Claw, even a feather of an owl has not been seen. What happened to this Owl Court? Throw away Gotham and go on a collective vacation?

The problem of the Owl Court has not been completely resolved. Schiller has a hesitant attitude towards the reconstruction of Gotham because he knows that in some comic versions, when the Owl Court built buildings in Gotham, it added a metal with mysterious power.

This metal will cause Gotham City to become darker and crazier. Although Schiller once took samples from some buildings in Gotham City and found nothing special, he could not be sure whether he could identify this mysterious substance.

But once the major reconstruction of Gotham City begins, it will definitely touch the core interests of the Owl Court and usher in their fierce counterattack. If you don’t make full preparations in advance, these core reformers may suffer heavy losses.

But other family leaders, including Bruce and Falcone, felt that Schiller had originally come up with a reform plan so decisively.

And it was quite effective, so he was not the kind of person who looked forward and backward.

But this time, he showed hesitation. Maybe there are some places they didn’t notice, so the original rapid reconstruction momentum gradually slowed down.

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

Catwoman was almost suffocated. Finally one day, she caught a gap and sneaked out.

However, her sneaky actions could not escape the eyes of old butler Alfred. Bruce learned the news for the first time and hurriedly sent someone to find her. Catwoman hadn’t had enough fun and didn’t want to go back with Bruce. She was chased up and down and had to run towards the sewer.
