Chapter 177 The New Mayor of Gotham

"BOSS."

The secretary glanced at the text message on her phone and put her ear close to Qingshui.

"That person sent a message saying that Penguin is dead. His head has been sent to Rattlesnake, who will hand it over to you personally."

The smile on Qingshui's face grew wider.

Good things come in pairs.

Now the newly appointed mayor Hamilton is his puppet. Even if he has little background, he can easily gain a significant power in Gotham's political circles with just some planning, and it will not be a problem for him to get himself a position as a Gotham City Councilor.

The Penguin died, the Iceberg Club was destroyed, and the Two-Face Gang is now in a semi-vassal state to the Hogg United. Now that the Hogg United has absolute power, if Harvey Dent still wants to survive, he can only remove the word "half".

On the surface, most of Gotham's underworld will be unified by himself.

As for completely unifying the Gotham underworld, that cannot be done in a short period of time.

Gotham City is full of talented people and villains, none of whom are easy to deal with. There are numerous gangs, large and small, and no one knows when a powerful character will jump out of one of them.

However, with Qingshui's current strength, it is enough to crush most ordinary villains, it just takes time to deal with them one by one.

From now on, in terms of influence in Gotham, perhaps only the Wayne Group, which is rooted in every aspect of Gotham citizens' food, clothing, housing, transportation, medical care, education and lighting, can surpass Shimizu.

After the mayor's inaugural speech, Shimizu attended the subsequent dinner.

Business and political celebrities from all walks of life in Gotham, as well as members of the mayoral team selected by Hamilton, all attended.

The plan after Qingshui is to have good relations with these people.

Just like...

"Mr. Wayne."

Qingshui sat on the sofa, holding a glass of wine and said to the tall and handsome man walking towards him.

The latter should have come when the mayor's inauguration ceremony was held, but was late now.

As for why it was so late, it was of course because we had to deal with the troubles caused by Red Hood.

Of course, what Alfred, the Wayne family's butler, meant was that the master was overworked last night, busy until dawn and slept until dark.

Batman had really worked hard for at least a day and a night without rest. Even though Bruce Wayne had put on extremely sophisticated makeup on his face, Qingshui, who had a clear view of the world, could still detect the heavy bags under his eyes.

In the eyes of others, Mr. Wayne's hard work for so long must be related to the two beauties around him. This kind of animal-like ability is enviable.

"Snapped!"

Bruce Wayne patted the buttocks of the two beauties in his arms.

"Go to the private room I booked and wait. After I finish discussing business with Mr. Walter, I will come back to discuss the next deal with you."

The two girls gave Bruce Wayne a passionate kiss and then left obediently.

They knew that the two big men had something to discuss, and as women who could accompany these upper-class people drinking, they were very sensible.

"Are you the one behind Jason?"

Although he questioned in a low voice, Bruce Wayne smiled and took the other glass of wine handed to him by Qingshui, as if the two of them were really good business partners.

"Not exactly. You should have checked it out. Lars and I worked together and he gave me this. It just so happens that I also need a good knife to help me do some things."

Qingshui shook the red wine glass and smiled.

"It's Cobblepot."

"Don't slander someone out of thin air. How could the death of the distinguished entrepreneur Mr. Cobert be related to me?"

Qingshui took a sip of the expensive red wine and said to Bruce Wayne.

"It's you," Bruce Wayne confirmed.

Although there is no evidence, how long has the Penguin been dead?
The people present had been at the party since the inauguration of the new mayor Hamilton, and had been unable to leave until the current dinner. How could they have had the chance to learn about the death of the Penguin so soon?

Unless there is someone watching, or the person who did it sent a message to Qingshui.

"I've already told you, don't talk nonsense without evidence."

"What you are doing is becoming more and more dangerous. Many people would not like to see someone controlling the darkness of Gotham, let alone affecting the center of power in Gotham."

Bruce Wayne put down the untouched bottle of red wine and said.

Qingshui did not give a direct answer, but changed the subject.

"Ah, Mr. Wayne, you know, this new concept TSL new energy vehicle we have just designed will definitely have a very broad market in the future. If you are willing to cooperate, we can jointly invest in research and development with Wayne Enterprises..."

Because Commissioner Gordon, who was wearing glasses, also came closer with a glass of wine.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Walter, to interrupt your business with Mr. Wayne, but I have some questions about the new police weapons sponsored by the Wayne Group and I would like to consult Mr. Wayne. What do you think..."

"It's okay, you guys chat."

Shimizu raised his glass and toasted Director Gordon.

Gordon also politely clinked glasses with Qingshui, drank it all, and then left with Bruce Wayne.

Shimizu was chatting and laughing with a new member of the mayor's team who had just come up, while using his ability to see through the world and manipulate air currents to eavesdrop on the conversation between Bruce Wayne and Gordon.

"You guessed correctly. Those people have indeed started to act, but their target has not yet been determined."

"I know, but they are very cautious. However, I have listed a few people they might attack, and I have also warned them in various ways to be more vigilant."

"It would be better if I sent some people to protect them."

"There is one who doesn't need it. He can handle it with his strength."

"That's good. Wait, I have to take a call. There's important information from an informant..."

After seeing off the officials from the new mayor's government who were about to take office, Qingshui took a sip of red wine and fell into deep thought.

Take action, give a warning...if you have the strength to deal with it.

Obviously, this refers to myself.

Bruce Wayne once told himself that some people don't want to see the darkness that controls Gotham, so he should be careful.

In other words, in his opinion, those people have the ability to threaten him.

But with my own strength, as long as I am careful enough, I can handle it.

The thought flashed quickly through Qingshui's mind.

Soon, Qingshui used the transparent world to see that Bruce Wayne made up an excuse and left the dinner less than ten minutes before the end of the party.

I guess Batman is about to go out again.

"Being a hero is such a tiring life..."

Qingshui took another sip of red wine and thought to himself.

Fortunately, I am not.

The dinner ended quickly, and Shimizu got into a modified bulletproof car with several bodyguards, a total of three cars.

Gotham's nights are very dangerous. Even Thomas Wayne, the former richest man in Gotham, was killed in an alley.

Although Shimizu claims that ordinary means cannot threaten him, he still needs to be prepared. The structure of the White Knight is now quietly placed in the trunk of the car.
