The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 827 The Method of Breaking the Game
Generally speaking, the students who will come to participate in the second round of internships are students who want to stay in Gotham for employment. Otherwise, by now, they must have already found jobs in other cities.

And if you want to stay and work in Gotham, dealing with gang members is an inescapable proposition. Although academic level is important, you must first learn how to deal with the special patients here in order to save your life.

Therefore, Arkham Asylum was chosen as the location for the second round of internships. There is no problem. There are indeed no mental patients here, but the students can still learn a lot about how to survive in Gotham from here.

Schiller has already greeted all the patients here. Recently, a group of students will come to practice. If they ask questions with the case, just answer them truthfully.

As long as it is a human being, there will be some psychological problems more or less, and there is no completely normal psychology. Therefore, even if it is not a typical case, it can provide some experience.

Schiller didn't expect to see Bruce here, because obviously, Bruce couldn't build a gang in such a short period of time.

Since he didn't really establish a gang, he will appear here now, obviously using some tricks to cheat and attack.

It seems that he was enlightened earlier than he thought, Schiller thought, but now, Schiller doesn't have to worry, he doesn't have enough credits to graduate.

After all, he was also considered to have participated in the second round of internships. Although he participated as a patient, he still participated.

Soon, Bruce was surrounded, and his former classmates asked him various questions in some not-so-fluent and jerky ways to check his current mental state.

Bruce can only dutifully play a young gangster who has just come to power, answering their very directional questions.

Schiller waited and watched. After a while, he glanced at his watch and said, "I'm going to another group. It's almost lunch time. When the meeting is over, you all go down to eat together." , don’t wait for me anymore, I’m going back to the office to deal with some things.”

After finishing speaking, he left, and Bruce kept his eyes on Schiller. Obviously, he wanted to say something to Schiller, but before he could find an excuse to leave, his classmates surrounded him again up.

Bruce was eager to talk to Schiller, but the students in the three groups were all outstanding graduates to candidates. They had great enthusiasm for learning and wanted to compete for the number of outstanding graduates, so they managed to catch one Patients, of course, must obtain enough information to gain the upper hand.

While dealing with them, Bruce looked out the door, and finally got to the meal time, and the other students left, only Evans stayed.

Bruce was in a hurry to go out, but Evans stopped him and said, "Which area are you the boss of? Why haven't I seen you?"

Bruce stroked the mask on his face and said, "Your Excellency, my site is close to the Wayne Building, and I just took over recently. It's normal that you haven't seen me..."

Evans narrowed his eyes and said, "Wayne Mansion? It should be the site of the Twelve Families. Who among them did you kill? Didn't their families bother you?"

Bruce sighed and said, "Your Excellency, aren't you hungry? The restaurant is just downstairs, do you want me to take you there?"

Evans was even more confused. Although he was not the godfather, Alberto was, but the memory of the two of them had been shared. When the old godfather announced his retirement and Evans officially took over the Falcone family, everyone was complimenting him The new godfather.

This strange stranger in front of him seems to care more about Professor Schiller than him. There is such a gang leader in Gotham. Evans doesn't know whether to say that he is ignorant or fearless, or that he is dead or dead.

Bruce didn't have time to tangle with Evans. He had too many questions to ask Schiller, so he walked quickly towards Schiller's office.

Evans found it strange, so he followed him all the time. Bruce wanted to get rid of him, but he was worried that Schiller would leave early, so he didn't care too much. The two rushed into Schiller's office one after the other.

In the office, Schiller was reading the first diagnosis report handed in by the students. When he saw the two of them coming in, Schiller pushed his glasses and said, "Are you here? Sit down."

"Evans..." Schiller waved to Evans first and said, "Call your brother out, we have something to talk about."

Evans froze for a moment, and at this moment, he saw Bruce take off the mask.

In fact, at this time, the wound on Bruce's face has almost healed. Except for a little thinner, the original appearance can be seen. Evans widened his eyes and said in shock: "Bruce?! Why are you here? This? How do you... I mean, how do you..."

"Okay, don't be too surprised," Schiller reassured, and he said, "Our Mr. Wayne is very interested in the second round of internships, so he volunteered to become a patient. You have to see a doctor for him in the afternoon. Now Call your brother, we have business to discuss..."

Seeing Schiller's serious face, Evans nodded without saying anything. He froze for a moment, then changed his expression, and said to Schiller, "Teacher, are you looking for me?"

"Sit down." Schiller pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "I heard that the Twelve Families have changed their minds now, isn't it? Godfather?"

Alberto shook his head and said: "The title is not important at all, they are willing to show respect to me because I have completely taken over all the properties of the Falcone family, and the old godfather no longer holds any rights. "

"And this, I have to thank one person..." Alberto glanced at Bruce and said, "A lunatic with a red hood drove a truck full of children, rushed into the North District, and came to the old godfather before."

"In the past 40 years, Gotham has not had such a bold person, so the old godfather felt that the time was ripe and his rule should end."

"That night, he called me into the room and talked with me a lot." Alberto shook his head and said, "It was with me, not with Evans."

"It's been a long time since we had such a long conversation, I should be happy..."

Bruce looked at him, and Alberto's face was a little dignified, without the excitement of being in power at all.

He heard that Alberto said: "The situation in Gotham is worse than I imagined. No, it should be said that the situation of the Twelve Family is even worse. The distance is unsustainable, and there is only a thin line.·

Both Bruce and Schiller were fascinated. Even though they both have a deep understanding of Gotham, after all, they have never really ruled Gotham, and they don't know much about the top twelve families of Gotham. .

Hearing what Alberto said, Schiller asked, "What's going on? Can you tell me?"

"Perhaps you have heard that the eldest daughter of the Spencer family is fighting fiercely with the youngest son who just came back from other places, but Ross Spencer has nothing to do. If this continues, the Spencer family's property will inevitably be destroyed. If one is divided into two, the names of the twelve families will not be preserved."

"What's going on?" Schiller frowned and said, "A few days ago, I heard from my neighbor that a fierce conflict broke out at old Spencer's birthday party, and someone was injured?"

Alberto nodded and said, "That's right, I happened to be there that day..."

Accompanied by his memories, the lights on the dance floor gradually lit up. Gang members in suits and leather shoes walked in from the red carpet, stood at the door, adjusted their ties, stomped their feet lightly, and walked into the brightly lit hall .

"Hey! Charle, you old guy, you are still alive! Come here, we haven't seen each other for many years, it must be sixteen or seventeen years..." Old Spencer walked up and stroked another old man Back said: "Time flies so fast..."

"Yeah, you bloody old squirrel, when we were hanging out on the pier, you said, someday, you're going to have a big birthday party, invite me over, and have Marina and me Do a Persian dance..."

The old man named Char shook his head and said: "Two months ago, Marina died. Fortunately, her grandson was more filial and held a Catholic funeral for her. Neither of us had time to go there... "

Old Spencer also showed a look of nostalgia, and said: "Marina was the most beautiful girl in the young school at that time, but it's a pity that she was entrusted with a non-human, that Frenchman really deserves to die..."

The two walked into the hall while thinking about the past. At this moment, the old Spencer pulled over a young man who had the same red hair as him. He introduced to Charle: "This is my son. You and Liv held him when he was a newborn, and you said he was a strong foal."

Char patted the young man on the back and said, "I haven't seen you for so long, your little son has grown up so much, come on, let's talk over there..."

They changed positions, but at this moment, there was a series of footsteps on the stairs, and a woman in a gorgeous dress came down, with beautiful red hair like a waterfall, and a beautiful face with a compelling imposing manner.

As soon as she came down, the faces of the old Spencer and the young Spencer next to him changed, but at this moment, more guests crowded up, and compliments were endless,
"That bloody bitch..." whispered little Spencer, but then old Spencer gave him a hard look and said, "Shut up, you fool, that's your sister!"

"My sister?!" Little Spencer raised his voice and said, "She's a slut who wants to rob the Spencer family property!"

Charle next to him glanced at little Spencer, and showed a contemptuous expression where old Spencer couldn't see.

Then, he looked at the woman in the center of focus again, narrowed his eyes, and rolled his eyes, as if planning something.

Char is also considered an old gang boss. Although his family has declined now, he can still be ranked in Gotham.

He and the Spencer family are family friends, and his wife Liv is the old Spencer's distant cousin. The two families have always been in contact, so they are very clear about each other's situation.

Old Spencer's son and daughter are not a mother. The mother of the eldest daughter, Freya Spencer, was the first wife of Old Spencer, but later died, and Old Spencer married again One, gave birth to the current boy.

The wife he married later was a foreigner, who seemed to be a female star on the West Coast. When his youngest son was born, the old Spencer found that he was very talented and had a different IQ than ordinary people. He wanted to keep him by his side and cultivate him well.

But the wife he married later cried and clamored to let his son go to the best university. The old Spencer was dazed and sent him to other places when he was in high school. When he came back in [-], things changed in Gotham, and no one knew him at all.

The old Spencer didn't like his eldest daughter, so he didn't train her, but this Miss Spencer was also very talented, plus she was very beautiful and had a high emotional intelligence. She was in the circle of ladies and ladies in Gotham They are all well-known and well-connected.

This created a problem. After the youngest son that the old Spencer favored came back, he would be at a complete disadvantage against his sister.

However, the youngest son has learned a lot of economics and management, and has a lot of experience in managing the family business. Many people are willing to follow him. The eldest daughter has a deep foundation and a wide network of contacts, and some people are willing to follow her.

It’s okay if one side is very strong and the other is very weak, but I’m afraid of such an evenly matched situation. The two will fight. Today you force me to hand over the equity, and tomorrow I will cut off your production line. The good property of the Spencer family will be torn apart. broken.

The old Spencer didn't have a good relationship with his daughter, but after being separated from his boy for so many years, he still wasn't very close.

The eldest daughter felt that it was her father who intentionally killed her mother, and the younger son felt that his father had failed to protect his mother for so many years. Anyway, the old Spencer was out of order.

There is no power in front of his children. If he can grasp the power, it is fine, but old Spencer's talent is not as good as his two children. Once the battle started, he couldn't hold back.

Alberto sighed and said, "Old Spencer's youngest son is a young man who came back from other places. He doesn't understand the rules of Gotham at all. He didn't hold back at the banquet that day and wanted to beat his sister."

"Miss Spencer is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She just finished her nails, and with a wave of her hand, she scratched her brother's eyes, turning him into a one-eyed dragon at a young age..."

"This is going to be troublesome. The entire Spencer family has become a joke of the twelve families. The youngest son wanted to beat his sister at his father's birthday party, but he was injured instead. A good birthday party just started I saw blood within a few minutes, and if I told it, it would be a complete shame to the family."

"If it was in the past, the godfather might have taken care of it, but now, the Falcone family is also busy making money. Who can control so many families?"

"They don't want to be the Twelve Family anymore. Some people want to be one. I also said that day that the Spencer Family has declined and just made room for the Oswald Family. I'm very optimistic about Coppert..."

Schiller and Bruce glanced at each other, and they found that the other party wanted to discuss the same issues as their own. In the end, Schiller spoke first:

"Among the twelve families, are there many cases like this?"

Alberto frowned and said, "According to the memory of me and Evans, there have been more and more cases like this in recent years."

"Twelve families often have no shortage of money, especially the leader's family, who go on vacation every year and have home theaters and audio-visual discs at home. Many children raised by such families are unwilling to stay in Gotham , they all like to run outside.”

"With gang members changing so quickly, if you have a few years of blank period and don't stay in Gotham, you may not even recognize everyone when you come back. If there are other children in this family, you will be very nervous. It's hard to compete with those heirs."

Alberto shook his head and said: "Many second-generation gangsters who like to run outside are more flexible and have great ideas. They are determined to reform, but the vast majority of gang leaders in power are still the same generation as the old godfather. People, they don't like these ignorant greenheads."

"They want to maintain the original order, so they try their best to suppress these people, and the way of suppression is to support other heirs in this family, but the other party will not let it go. In the past few years, family conflicts have become more and more Well, the old godfather can't adjust everything, there are many things that only they can solve."

Alberto showed a dignified look and said: "That's why I feel a lot of pressure. After I came to power, many new generations expect me to abolish these rules and give them freedom, while many older generations But I feel that I should represent them to maintain order..."

"So what do you think?" Bruce asked.

Alberto nodded and said: "If you are in this position like me, you will see something very clearly. Those unruly green-headed youths will cause very big trouble. They are too They are too impulsive and disregarding the consequences, but those children who are brought up within the rules are too rigid and not flexible enough.”

"If I have to say who I prefer, in fact, I still prefer those smart people..." Alberto rubbed his brows helplessly and said, "There are many people who have never read a book, and I simply don't know how to follow them." They communicate as if we are not speaking a language, and they really have trouble understanding.·

"Take the logistics industry as an example. Those who have never read a book and only live by the rules, they have no way to understand why the road renovation must pass through their territory? Why should their business be affected? They will not Look at problems with a long-term perspective and only care about temporary gains and losses..."

"Those highly educated people are reasonable and willing to sacrifice their current interests to obtain longer-term benefits, but they are always yelling and arrogant, thinking that they are the only ones in the world who are right, and everyone else is stupid ..."

Schiller smiled and said: "This is not only a problem that Gotham will face, but the whole world is facing this problem. Using mandatory rules to discipline human beings will inevitably erase some creative thinking, but let everyone People are all flying around, and then they fall into chaos again. ·

"I've been thinking about this issue for the past few days." Bruce said: "If the people at the bottom are busy with their livelihoods and have no opportunities for education, then the upper classes in Gotham have unique gang rules, so Its unique fast-paced competition and rapid blood exchange model also lacks education, and the uneducated lead the uneducated, which is exchanging the future of all people for the prosperity of the present.”

Schiller shook his head and said: "It's not that people in Gotham are uneducated, it's just that their education is more inclined to social rules and practical education. The disadvantage of lack of systematic education is that there is no stable upward channel for talents. The overall The level of thinking and logic is not improved."

"Now, the reason why this situation can continue is that Gotham occupies geographical and industrial advantages, but in the long run, the disadvantages will definitely be reflected, especially once technology begins to explode and the connection between people is strengthened. , because of not being able to keep up with the times, the break of the chain of interests caused may plunge the whole city into chaos again.·

Schiller glanced back at the calendar and said, "It's 1990, and I don't think the situation I'm talking about is going to be too far away."

Both Bruce and Alberto frowned. These two were the least likely to leave Gotham City. All the other gangsters could make enough money to escape, but it was impossible for the two of them to leave this place alone.

Bruce took out a piece of paper from his pocket, looked at it and said, "I hope to improve the education level of Gotham people, but this matter is not that simple at all."

"In order to improve the level of education, they must be educated, but to allow them to receive education, they must ensure that they obtain survival materials that allow them to survive outside the time of education."

"If you want to do this, you have to let them earn more money in less time, and if you want them to earn more money, you have to have more and better jobs. To create more and better jobs, we need to develop industries and improve the economic level, but to develop industries, we need all kinds of talents, and if we want all kinds of talents, we need to improve education..."

In the end, Bruce gritted his teeth a little bit. He felt that this was like a rope around his neck. Every time he thought about it, the rope would become tighter until he fell into a desperate suffocation.

"There is no industry that can get money in a short period of time..." Bruce added, "But this kind of industry is unhealthy, it cannot develop into a long-term industry, and it cannot provide stable jobs. Money is not invested in education."

"Actually, we've gotten off to a very good start." Alberto said: "Relying on the accumulation of the previous era, Gotham's economic situation is very good now, and it hasn't reached the point where all classes are unsustainable."

"However, the vast majority of wealth, through the gang system, comes to the class of the twelve families, but this class will not invest money in education, because the gang system that benefits them is not Those who need education, of course they will not waste money.”

"The problem now is that if I use violent means to overthrow the entire gang system, the rich will not be the ones who suffer the most, but the people at the bottom." Bruce took a deep breath and said, "The gang leader can always Out of here, they earn enough money that they can live comfortably in other cities."

"However, once the gang system collapses, the remaining people who can't leave will no longer follow the rules. There is only one way for them to plunder enough benefits, and that is to launch a war. When everything depends on robbery, those unarmed Ordinary people are the biggest victims."

"This is the problem..." Schiller took a sip of water and said, "Many people may think that Gotham is already bad, but in fact, it has not yet fallen to the bottom. Some people may think that the gang rules are already very cruel, but in fact , This has maintained stability and guaranteed that most people can survive, even though they are not living well and struggling to survive, at least they can survive."

"Once the rules collapse in an instant, and the city's capital and economy are completely emptied, then Gotham will really have no cards to play."

Schiller looked up at the door, as if he saw a future, he said: "At that time, all kinds of lunatics will appear in turn, and this place will become a hell without order forever, regardless of whether it is Batman or anything else. Heroes, they are incapable and have no way to solve this problem from the root. They can only be like drinking poison to quench thirst. A criminal comes out to attack a criminal, and a person who can save a person is a person... ·

Bruce grasped the handrail tightly, he understood what Schiller meant, if the current Gotham was compared to a person, then his current state is a bit like Bruce who fell into the chemical pool before.

The skin of the whole body has been corroded, exposing the muscles and bones, and the appearance has changed beyond recognition. It is almost impossible for ordinary people to survive if all the skin tissues are corroded.

However, 40 years ago, someone gave Gotham a dose of stimulants, caught up with the trend of the times, and established a gang system so that the wounds would not fester or become infected.

40 years have passed, and the potion's ability is about to pass away. Although this potion saved Gotham's life, this potion is addictive. Withdrawal reactions occur.

Looking at it now, the injury still did not endanger the internal organs, but if it continued like this, it would only rot away bit by bit from the epidermis to the bones and internal organs. At that time, no matter which part was operated on alone, it would be impossible to save it.

And to perform a comprehensive operation on a person who has no skin, bones, and internal organs. Batman can't do it, Bruce Wayne can't do it, and the two of them can't do it together.

Perhaps many people think that the most worthy of criticism of Batman, the comic character, is that he has the ability to save Gotham in other ways, but he still has to fight criminals.

But in fact, at least from the perspective of Schiller who is now in Gotham, the behavior of the later Batman is probably not because he didn't think about it, but because it was too late.

The order of the gangsters is also order. As long as there is order, it will not be rotten to the end. But when Batman in the original comics became Batman, the order of the Gotham gangsters had come to an end, and the next era was an era of lunatics.

Why on earth were there so many lunatics in that era?In fact, it is because the soil here is no longer order, but has become complete chaos. Not only is there no education, no economy, no culture, no upward path, and no escape path.

At that time, even if the Wayne Group is the richest company in the world, under the circumstances of this system, it is tantamount to a daydream for a private company to save such a mega city.

No company in the world dares to say that it can save a post-war New York. The rescue costs, construction costs, resettlement costs, and later education costs and development costs required, let alone a company, are a little small. A country can be completely hollowed out.

There are too few things going upstream in this world, and most of the historical reincarnations are falling unstoppably downward. Once a thing falls below a certain passing line, the cost of saving it exceeds its destruction its cost, then it is almost doomed.

What Batman could do in that era was to keep Gotham barely on the passing line, so that the evil here would not overflow. Once the madness here was too out of line, he would only be destroyed.

"Although I don't agree with the idea that Batman can save one person, because I think it is a bit negative, but I never say that you can't save Gotham like this, what should be done to save Gotham..." Schiller He took a sip of water and said, "No company or person in this world has the ability to save this city alone."

"And I used to think that one of my identities could save Gotham." Bruce said slowly: "After I got to know all of this and understood the truth of this city, I found that Wayne It's hard to combine the group and Batman together, not to mention, it's ten years late."

"Let's talk about our current goals." Schiller turned the topic back and eased the heavy atmosphere.

He said: "My goal is to make Gotham have a normal learning atmosphere, so that Gotham's family education, social education and school education complement each other instead of dragging each other down. The most important goal is systematic education."

"Even if there is no compulsory education for all, at least Gotham should have an atmosphere of education, instead of being ashamed of being educated like it is now, which is unbearable for any teacher."

After Schiller finished speaking, Alberto said: "The Falcone family is now established at the top of the pyramid, but we all know that this will not last long. Now that many disadvantages have been revealed, this system is no longer suitable for the current era, and once the pyramid collapses, stand tallest and fall the hardest."

"I hope that the Falcone family can land smoothly, even if they no longer have a dominant position. I hope that my father can enjoy his old age peacefully."

After Alberto finished speaking, Bruce was silent for a long time, and then he said: "I just hope that this city will become better, or become a little more normal, and stop rotten."

"I hope there won't be so many tragedies anymore, don't let everything slide in a bad direction, but walk towards the light, and never go back to the dark night."

All three were silent for a while, and Schiller spoke again: "Then we have reached an agreement that Gotham's system must be fundamentally changed, right?"

Both Alberto and Bruce nodded, and Schiller continued: "Now, let's look at the difficulties. I think there are two points. First, if the black system is completely overthrown by too violent methods, That would throw the city into chaos for a long time."

"The second point is that once the reform is started, the manpower and material resources to be invested are huge, and there is no turning back after starting the bow. If you want to stop halfway, the sunk cost will definitely not be recovered."

"I think there is one more thing." Alberto said: "Although the state assembly has never ignored us, and we have never ignored the state assembly, but we are going to fight here, will they really have no objection?"

Hearing this, Bruce thought that Alberto had changed his gender, but he heard Alberto say: "So, before we reform, should we create some seats for the state assembly and then bribe elections? "

"There's no rush for this, wait until the big strategy is finalized." Schiller said while rubbing his chin.

And Bruce felt that he was at odds with them, and he had a bad feeling, because he became a minority in terms of morality, and he would not have an advantage in voting later.

"There is another difficulty." Bruce said: "We say it is for the good of the people of Gotham, but they don't necessarily think so. Whether it is the bottom or the gang, if we really want to touch their cake, I am afraid it will be very bad. Fierce resistance."

Schiller nodded, and wrote down this item. The three of them discussed for a while, and finally classified all the problems into these three categories.

"Let's talk about the first point first. If you want to reform, it will undoubtedly be like stabbing the gangsters. It is impossible for them not to resist. What method do you think is better?" Schiller asked a question.

Alberto thought for a while and said: "I think it's better not to use too violent methods. Although I also prefer to be quick, accurate, and kill with one blow, if they are stimulated and cause a strong counterattack, everyone except the gangsters will fight back." At the same level, the people may also suffer, and once the foundation is damaged, it will be difficult to make up for it.”

Bruce paused and said, "I know, my views may be radical, but I think violence may be the only way."

"Then you haven't thought about it. Under such rules, the vast majority of people are related to the gangsters. Once the methods are too drastic, it will inevitably lead to a strong counterattack..."

Bruce paused for a moment, as if hesitating whether he should say the next thing, but after a long pause, he still said: "To solve this problem fundamentally, we must overthrow this system by violent means from the bottom."

"I want to eliminate the class gap..." Bruce paused again, as if he felt that what he said was a bit too explicit. He paused for a long time, but continued: "If you want to eliminate the class gap, you can't expect top-down Those who possess resources will not spit them out, only violence will work.”

What Bruce didn't expect was that Schiller's reaction was very calm. Schiller looked at Bruce and said, "In a sense, this is correct, but the question is who are you, are you a proletarian?"

"I..." Bruce paused again. He has never had anything to do with the word proletariat in his life. Schiller continued: "The reason why class conflicts can only be eliminated through violence is that capitalists will never wake up. Then you Do you think you have woken up? Do the Wayne family have to be completely torn apart before they can use corpses to nourish everyone?"

"Or, do you think that the person who tore up the Wayne family and distributed their corpses would be fairer and more capable than you?"

Bruce was thinking in silence, and he suddenly realized that he read the book from the wrong angle and forgot the biggest problem, that is, he is a big capitalist, and there are or are only capitalists in the world who want to save the world.

If he keeps bringing himself into the bottom of the population, violence is indeed the only means, the flow of capital is always ruthless, and greed is his most essential trait. It is impossible for any kind of capital to wake up, and the class represented by capital is also It is never possible to wake up.

But Batman is indeed special, he is a person with a heart to save the world, and the price he is willing to pay for it is beyond imagination.

Bruce Wayne read all the Marxist works by burning the lamp last night, and absorbed part of them as his own thoughts.

What's even more amazing is that when he read this kind of book, what he brought in was actually the lower class people, which may be inseparable from his previous experience in the slums.

In any case, Batman is always a hero with compassion. His paranoid traits, when he didn't find the right path and didn't realize it, looked very much like a psychopath.

But when he intends to go his own way, this will become a huge motivation and support, allowing him to resolutely carry out his will.

Bruce was silent for a long time, and then said: "I hope that I am the one who changes Gotham City, not only because I want to control this city, but also because I don't trust other people."

Bruce took a deep breath, no one could hear it, his tone trembled very slightly, he said: "Alfred often told me that people will change, I can't wait for a savior to appear at the bottom, and I can't Let’s hope he stays the course.”

"Of course you can do it yourself," Schiller concluded. "And you're thinking too little of yourself that you're overestimating how difficult it will be."

"First of all, you are not a low-level civilian in Gotham, and you are not a gangster boss. These two experiences are just steps for you to figure out the structure of Gotham, not everything."

"If you really belong to these two classes, you need to first release the shackles of class on yourself, and then lead people of your same class to break the rules and gain a dominant position before carrying out comprehensive innovation."

"But from start to finish, you're Bruce Wayne and Batman, and when those two identities come together, you can skip that process."

"Jump over?" Bruce frowned.

Schiller suddenly changed the subject and said, "Gotham has almost exhausted all the cards in its hand, but there is only one peerless card left that has not been played."
