Super Detective in the Fictional World

Chapter 2213 - Extra: Fantasy Journey 54

And in Luke's willful avoidance, Gotham City and Metropolis are swirling a dark tide.

Master Wayne has noticed, Master Wayne is out in force, Master Wayne beating up bad guys is back in the papers, but Luke knows he's missing the point and has underestimated his hidden adversary this time.

And so, on Valentine's Day, February 14, an elaborate drama finally kicks off in earnest.

Although it was a day full of passionate lovers, the two cities on the Atlantic Ocean were still cold.

People on the streets wore thick winter coats and couples snuggled up to each other.

By the afternoon, the gloomy sky was filled with snowflakes.

For the romantics, it was a harbinger of beautiful scenery.

And for the homeless, it was a difficult night and even a few nights after that, they had to worry about a place to stay.

The ramshackle shacks made of plastic sheeting and cardboard were apparently inadequate to withstand the blizzard and low temperatures.

Master Wayne had a rare day off to dress up and attend a large dinner among Gotham's celebrities.

The original purpose of the dinner was to help the underprivileged, and now the host even added the phrase "people trapped in the snowstorm", which was a bit more up-to-date.

In fact, the more than two hundred celebrities in attendance donated a total of just over one million US dollars, and much more is impossible.

That's a gimmick.

A million or so would have bought backordered or stocked goods from the attendees, which would have cut costs considerably, just enough to keep the poor people quiet through the sudden blizzard of cold.

After that? It's none of their business!

The economy as a whole is bad, and there are many capitalists who have gone bankrupt and become poor, so who has the extra goodwill to do it themselves, without having to show it on this occasion.

The biggest donor, Master Wei, only paid $50,000 for a painting created by a group of children in a children's orphanage.

Under the supervision of his professional team, 80% of this money can be implemented to the children in those orphanages.

He has no control over other people's donations.

However, Master Wei can't be idle either.

He was so busy building the Justice League that he didn't even bother to look for a female companion this time and just came over.

This was almost impossible in the past.

As the helmsman of the Wayne Group, Master Wei would always have enough beautiful women by his side, and on call.

It was the waving away of this that would occasionally cause a little problem.

There will always be some woman who will vainly try to get his permanent credit card, preferably the kind with no limit on random swipes.

Of course, this is just a little fantasy.

The company has a team of professionals who properly "clean" these disposable "birth control" items.

The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.

The first time I saw this, I thought, "I'm not going to be able to do this," he said.

It's not like they're interested in his or her speech, so they'll find it fun to talk to him or her.

For some reason, Master Wei was reminded of someone who was still in Europe on business in this prosperous and smooth environment.

Before, he still had a headache over this person's mischief, but after ten days of quiet, it felt like the surroundings were in stagnant water-like silence again.

It wasn't that no one was doing anything bad anymore, but almost everything around them was back to the stagnant silence of past decades, like sludge that had fallen to the bottom of a mud pit.

No light, no future, no future, just the abyss of decay and filth, from life to death.

Himself was jealous of Bell. Master Wayne was well aware of this, but hadn't said anything to anyone, including Butler Man and the rest of his Justice League teammates.

It's not because Bale is handsome or steals the limelight, it's just that he exudes a vigorous "energy" or "positive" tendency from the inside out.

It wasn't just the battles that gave him that feeling, but the things that Luke Enterprises was doing.

Although those expansion plans were still in their infancy, Wayne could already see the beginnings of something.

The delivery and courier system Luke was pounding out in Gotham and Metropolis could absorb tens of thousands of people willing to work at the bottom.

As long as Luke insisted on not extracting large profits from them, those people would at least have a salary sufficient to support their families.

For two cities with a combined population of over ten million people, this position was not worth mentioning, but Luke did it unhurriedly and methodically, with no sense of impatience at all.

When discussing it with Master Wayne, he was also very straightforward: "As much as I can change, I'm not a pig farmer. What's not satisfying about me making less money and being able to benefit tens of thousands of people for it?"

Master Wei was silent then.

Could he do this? Can't.

Because he's not that patient, and he doesn't have trustworthy men.

Running a system involving tens of thousands of people is going to take money.

Tens of millions of dollars a private jet was extravagant enough, right? Without considering the specific depletion, just a simple calculation, in fact, also to the 10,000 working class salary for a month or two.

Master Webster is afraid that before this system is set up, he will personally maim a bunch of corrupt men.

Luke also explains that he has a separate system for monitoring those people to keep that from happening, but it's not suitable for application to other institutions.

It's unlikely that Master Wayne would be able to make a separate similar system himself, it would be too obvious to target Luke.

So, he just privately invested ten million dollars to Luke's delivery and courier system, as a sponsor.

Luke is also welcome to monitor everything about the two new companies at any time to avoid any leaks.

Master Wei doesn't quite believe this.

Since Luke dared to assure him that there would be no major problems, and also did not explain the monitoring methods, that can only prove that there must be something strange.

It was likely that some rather dark methods were involved, and it was really unlikely that the average person would want to escape this kind of surveillance.

This was what made Master Wei puzzled.

How was a person supposed to maintain inner peace while watching all the evil deeds and beating up the bad guys? Especially if this process has been ongoing, it requires an incredibly tough faith.

Master Webster knew what his faith was, but he didn't know what Luke's faith was.

And it's not a belief in God or anything like that, it's a unique "point".

Any other villain would have been a "point" of "pain," a "point" of making others feel "pain" with him.

It may be a "choice", a choice between life and death, or between heaven and hell.

This involves everyone's outlook and experiences, which may look similar but are completely different inside.

As an outsider, Master Wei can analyze the situation from various aspects, and would not be foolish enough to ask him what he "believes" in.

While he was using his distracting abilities to deal with beautiful women and think about life, a faint noise entered the banquet hall.

The banquet hall, which was originally filled with lots of laughter, gradually quieted down.

This was the most important person in Gotham City. If he lost his temper a little, the company in charge of the banquet would definitely reprimand the waiters and even deduct the bonus.

A few waiters near the entrance immediately went out to check the situation, ready to report back after understanding the situation.
