Starting from scratch, Batman crushed my dream of getting rich

Chapter 132 Don’t come over
Maybe war is not a good thing, but Falcone and Maroni both made a subconscious decision after receiving the recording.

"I would rather fight the other party thoroughly than let my daughter/son hand over my family to my enemy after I die."

As for the two families tying the knot?

This was a topic that both sides unanimously excluded from discussion, for the very reason that the two families were "enemies" - turning hostility into friendship was certainly a way to preserve the power of both families to the greatest extent, but at this time neither side wanted to cease fire.

Even if he used the method of exchanging pieces, Falcone was sure that he could completely wipe out the Maroni family, and he was convinced that this was the most effective method at the moment. After everything was over, he, as the winner, would take the whole game. However, the Maroni family did not expect or want Falcone to show mercy to them in the end. After all, the youngest son that the Romans loved most was the culprit who shot the father and son, and the anger that the core family members were slaughtered also aroused Luigi's bloodiness.

One side thinks it can win, and the other side doesn't want to lose at all, which leads to the two sides falling into a state of war again. Harvey, Gordon and Bruce's layout slowly advances. Groups of officials and some wealthy people who have frequent dealings with the two families begin to rise in various departments with the support of both sides, trying to make up for their respective power vacuums, but they are soon attacked by the other side and sent to prison, and the cycle repeats.

It is precisely for this reason that Sheriff Gordon has been so busy recently. He slept in the police station for a week straight, and when he woke up he had to continue processing documents, and he never had a chance to go home.

"Captain Gordon, Gotham City's jails are full."

"I know, I know, Duke." Sergeant Gordon, with his messy hair, pushed aside the mountain of documents on his desk, revealing his dark circles and bloodshot eyes. "No, I have to find a chance to visit the manor. I've already finished the flower tea he gave me before he left."

Officer Duke listened to Gordon's mumbling and was a little confused: "What kind of flower tea?"

"Nothing, nothing—how many vacancies do we have in the prison?"

"Sheriff Gordon, are you sane? I told you all the jails are full."

"Well, I really should go home and rest right away. I mean, there must be some spare space, right? How about a few extra beds in some of the rooms?"

"Captain Gordon, when I say 'packed', I'm not describing it in a descriptive way, I mean it literally."

"?"

On this day, the photo on the front page of the Gotham Daily showed the prison cells almost completely packed with prisoners like a subway during rush hour, and the prison guards with nervous faces and armed guns supervising the prisoners.

In Wayne Manor, Bruce looked at the picture in the newspaper and couldn't help but fall silent.

"As you can see, Mr. Wayne," Inspector Gordon sighed and took another sip of the floral tea in his cup. "To be honest, I'm already considering finding some prisoners with less serious crimes to serve as prison guards. I've never seen Gotham's prisons so overcrowded in my life."

Bruce thought for a moment and understood what Gordon meant: "You want the Wayne Group to convert some vacant buildings into emergency private prisons?"

"I know the Wayne Group didn't have any related business before, but these prisoners really need a place to go. We can let them work under the supervision of a private prison in exchange for reduced sentences, or let them spend money in prison. At least it can eventually be fed back into the construction of Gotham - this money can become the funding for the Wayne Group's construction plan for Gotham."

Sheriff Gordon paused and continued, "I have only one request. The planning of the prison needs to be a joint effort between you, Harvey, and me. We want to ensure that the prisoners in this prison have a normal living environment: food to eat, beds to sleep in, and clothes to wear."

"What if the money I made from prison wasn't used to build Gotham?"

"You are the person most likely to spend the money on Gotham. It is at least better to hand the prisoners over to you than to those listed prison companies whose only goal is to make profits." Bruce thought about it and nodded.

"Your request is reasonable, Inspector Gordon," he said. "I promise you."

Things seem to be getting better in Gotham City lately.

The reason I use the word "seems" is because the number of jobs in Gotham City has recently begun to increase dramatically, wildly, and vigorously; but these jobs are all created due to a demand.

It's a private prison.

Although Wayne's buildings can meet the housing needs of a large number of prisoners, sufficient manpower is needed to supervise these prisoners. It is precisely because of the large number of prisoners being locked up that the position of "prison guard" has begun to be in great demand.

It sounds like an outrageous thing, but this is Gotham, so it doesn't seem too strange.

All in all, most of the funds that Bruce originally planned to use to invest in Gotham will have to be temporarily used to build the prison. The only consolation is that with the money in place, things are not difficult to do. The Wayne Group's engineering team is quite efficient, and the temporary prison can last for a while, buying time for the subsequent construction of a large-scale formal prison.

At the same time, a large number of ordinary people in Gotham also began to apply enthusiastically to join the prison guard positions, and after completing the training, they officially took up their posts and became prison guards. The Wayne Group offered an hourly wage of $40 for this job, which is very different from most private prisons that desperately save costs and lower the wages of prison guards.

As for the prisoners in the prison, in order to maximize their contribution to Gotham, Prosecutor Harvey helped Bruce with some planning.

"From today on, you are all members of Gotham's Hey Factory. Ahem, Gotham's temporary prison. Everyone, take note. Collect your number tags and don't mistakenly enter someone else's cell."

In the temporary prison, a man in prison guard uniform was shouting at the prisoners. He had thin cheeks, fierce eyes, and a bit of special cunning and coldness. Almost all the prisoners who saw him would restrain themselves a little at the first moment.

Of course, relying on appearance can only fool some small characters. Real big shots will not be scared by a face.

"Disaster, disaster star."

"Fuck, it's Ma Zhaodi, mad! I don't want to stay here anymore! I want to change prisons! I want to change prisons!"

"He was the one who sent Boss Maroni to the hospital. During the trial that day, he looked at Boss Maroni, and then Boss Maroni was shot three times!"

"Carmine had the nerve to buy photos from him. Oh, what a fool I was! Why didn't I stop him? Now even Sofia is in jail."

That’s right, all the big shots have heard of Ma Zhaodi’s great name. Not to mention that he has a sinister look on his face, even if he looks harmless, these big shots will only shout out that line in horror.

"Don't come over here!"
