Chapter 261 Strengthening the Storm Hammer

Gordon was indeed a good man, a good man in the true sense of the word.

Roger doesn't deny that.

However, in the city of Gotham, it is not so easy to be a good person.

In fact, if Gordon didn't have those inexplicable auras, with his style, there is a high probability that he will be killed by an enemy in a dark and damp alley, and his family may be affected as a result.

Roger came to sit next to Bruce and glanced at the various information being displayed on the huge display screen.

Although Bruce did not intervene in his specific actions against the Owl Court, it did not mean that Bruce did not pay attention to his specific progress.

On the display, it now clearly shows that Roger went to the restaurant last night to meet representatives of the Owl Court, and he followed these representatives to meet other members.

Of course, these pictures are only pictures taken by public cameras.

Bruce does have equipment beyond ordinary people, but that doesn't mean he can monitor all places.

For example, Carmine's private restaurant, and the headquarters estate of the Owl Court.

"The matter of the owl court has come to an end, what are you going to do next?"

Although Bruce did not approve of all of Roger's actions, he still retained due trust in Roger.

At least from the current point of view, Roger has no tendency to endanger the common people.

For Bruce, as long as Roger does not endanger ordinary people, he is not his enemy.

Of course, for Roger, Bruce also has a certain backup plan, in case things really develop to the worst point.

"If you're asking me what my plans are for the future, I can only say that I haven't considered that far yet."

"But if you know what I plan to do in the near future, I really want to discuss something with you."

Roger's tone became serious, and he put away the casual expression on his face.

After seeing Roger's expression became serious, Bruce also became serious, and said slowly, "What's the matter?"

"I used some means to make the people in the owl court fight among themselves."

"Now, they should have some overt business competition or covert actions."

"What they plan to do secretly, I'm not in the mood to care about it."

"However, I am a little bit interested in their commercial competition on the surface."

Hearing this, Bruce roughly knew what Roger wanted to do.

The members of the Owl Court are all local old families in Gotham, which means that they have various industries in Gotham.

Once they have internal strife, they are bound to compete for these industries.

After all, no one has trouble with money.

"You want to set up a company to buy their property?"

Bruce asked slowly.

"Strictly speaking, it's not me who set up a company to make an acquisition, but the Wayne Group to make an acquisition."

As soon as Roger finished speaking, Bruce frowned.

Although Bruce hadn't spoken yet, after seeing his expression, Roger knew what he was worried about, and continued: "You don't have to be so nervous, I'm not asking Wayne Group to intervene in these industries, after all, these industries Wayne Group It may not be worth it.”

"It's just that you should also know that these hobbies of yours are all expensive hobbies."

"Although you are not very interested in money or anything, you must admit that there would be no Batman in Gotham without the financial and equipment support from the Wayne Group."

"If you don't mind, I hope Wayne Group can come forward and establish a subsidiary to integrate these businesses."

"Wayne Group only needs to provide the name of the parent company, and I will take care of other things."

"Of course, as a subsidiary of the Wayne Group, I will also fulfill the obligations that the subsidiary should perform."

Roger spoke out his plan.

If it's just a company, he can do it without the Wayne Group.

However, after the company was established, it would be difficult to gain a firm foothold in Gotham without a reliable name.

The commercial behavior between companies is not like murder and arson in the underground world.

Even if Roger has strength beyond ordinary people, he can't go too far in this respect.

Unless he intends to be a complete villain and force other companies to trade with him.

Otherwise, he'd better let the new company have a reliable name, or in other words, a backer.

When it comes to backing in the commercial field, the Wayne Group is of course the first choice.

"It is indeed better to have those properties in your hands than in other people's hands."

"Since you want to do it, I can ask the Wayne Group to provide you with some support."

"However, you don't have to set up any new company."

"I will ask Fox to arrange for you a position as a group vice president, so that you can deal with this aspect of business exclusively."

After thinking for more than ten seconds, Bruce said to Roger.

Although Bruce, who has never experienced poverty, has no desire for money, it does not mean that he really regards money as dung.

As Roger said, there would be no Batman in Gotham without Wayne Group's financial and equipment support.

Harvesting the properties of those members of the Owl Court can further enhance the strength of the Wayne Group, and can further provide Batman with more support.

"Group vice president? No problem!"

Roger had no problem with Bruce's arrangement.

Whether it is the vice president of Wayne Group or the president of a subsidiary of Wayne Group, it makes no difference to him.

He just didn't want to waste the gains from his actions, as for the others, he didn't really care.

Of course, in addition to not wanting to waste the harvest of his actions, he also has the idea of ​​increasing some income for himself.

Bruce had some expensive hobbies, and so did he.

However, so far, these hobbies of his have not been implemented.

After chatting with Bruce, Roger took out his mobile phone and notified the "own people" who belonged to the owl court, and told them his latest arrangement.

As for the others, there is no need to ask, the professionals of the Wayne Group will naturally contact these "insiders".

After doing all this, Roger left Wayne Manor and began to return to the city.

With the court of owls settled, there's only one last thing left to attend to, and that's patiently waiting for Bruce's best friend, Wonder Woman, to arrive.

Roger is not generally interested in this famous heroine in the DC world.

After returning to the charity restaurant he opened with Selina, he didn't intend to serve customers on the first floor, so he went straight to the office on the third floor.

Wonder Woman Diana suddenly wanted to see him, and it was definitely not an impulsive decision.

Although he didn't know why Diana came to him now, he was not worried that Diana came to be his enemy.

In this world, apart from dealing with Gotham's gangsters and the court of owls, he didn't do anything too extreme.

Of course, his high-profile assassination yesterday, in some people's eyes, was an out-and-out villain's approach.

But this is just the view of ordinary people.

Anyone with some channels would know that the people he assassinated yesterday were not law-abiding citizens.

After returning to his office, Roger suddenly remembered something.

Afterwards, he took out the "Storm Hammer", the prize of Yuan Devouring Beast Gugu, from the different space in his body.

That's right, it's the Storm Hammer that came out of Gu Gu's mouth, the horse-faced Thor.

He had already confirmed with Sol that this storm hammer was indeed made by Odin for the horse-faced Thor.

Storm Hammer has abilities similar to Thor's Hammer.

In terms of the number of abilities, Storm Hammer has even more abilities than Thor's Hammer.

Fly, manipulate the weather, unleash lightning, absorb and release energy, and more.

Although he got the Storm Hammer a long time ago, Roger rarely uses it.

For him, the Storm Hammer is a special collection.

Looking at the one-handed hammer with a hammer head on one side and an ax blade on the other, Roger suddenly had an idea.

In the Marvel universe, he rarely uses Storm Hammer.

But in this world, he might be able to give Stormhammer some nice debut scenes.

There are plenty of superheroes in this world, but there aren't any known heroes with hammers.

Using the Storm Hammer here, there is no need to worry about being regarded as imitating Thor.

In addition, Roger has a small idea.

The storm hammer in his hand was made by Odin.

Although there are gods of Norse mythology such as Odin Thor in the world of DC, they are only in some parallel universes.

Here, the more well-known gods are the Olympian gods such as Zeus and others.

Although they are gods of two different systems, as the lord of the gods, Zeus should not be inferior to Odin in strength.

Moreover, Zeus' divine power is mainly reflected in the field of lightning.

Zeus, who has the power of lightning, can release the lightning storm hammer, plus the amber gold he just obtained last night.

Roger had a bold idea.

Strengthen the Storm Hammer!
Even if Zeus couldn't enchant it himself, at least he could use Amber Gold to strengthen the Storm Hammer.

Although it would be a pity without the enchantment of Zeus.

But if the Amber Finance can be combined with the Storm Hammer, that would be a good harvest.

The researchers of the Court of Owls did not work out the correct use of amber gold because they did not understand magic at all and could not find a blacksmith to deal with amber gold.

But for the blacksmiths in Wonder Woman's hometown of Paradise Island, dealing with amber gold should not be difficult.

If Diana is willing to help him with this, he should be able to get the first boost of Stormhammer in no time.

As for the second enhancement that needs Zeus's own hands, it is of course best to get it, and it doesn't matter much if you can't get it.

After all, the Storm Hammer is just one of his collections, not a conventional weapon he uses to fight.

Roger sat on the sofa playing with the storm hammer in his hand, and began to look forward to the arrival of Wonder Woman Diana.

Time flies.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these three days, Roger didn't do much.

Apart from staying in the restaurant to provide food for the poor, the only serious thing was that he went to Wayne Group with his true face, signed the letter of employment of Wayne Group, and became the vice president of Wayne Group.

With such an identity, he began to arrange for those "insiders" to transfer the acquired business to Wayne Group.

Of course, when he transferred the business to Wayne Group, he first took his share from it.

Although this seems to be a little suspected of enriching his own pockets, the properties obtained from these acquisitions were originally given to him by those "own people".

If it wasn't for the purpose of laundering these properties, he could have taken all of these properties for himself.

Neither Bruce nor Fox said anything about his actions.

It is worth mentioning that when he became the vice president of Wayne Group, Selina also had an additional identity.

Selina hasn't given up working at the charity restaurant entirely.

But in addition to this, she also became one of Roger's personal secretaries.

Now Roger has three secretaries.

Except for Selina, who was arranged by him, the other two were arranged by Fox, the president of the group.

Unlike Selina, these two secretaries are real secretaries, and their main daily job is to help him share the work of the vice president of the group.

The Penguin did not disappoint Roger either.

Although Roger didn't know exactly what methods he used, but two days ago, all investigations and charges against him by the Gotham Police Department were cancelled, and the cases he did were entered into the name and were still under investigation, but In fact, it has been completely sealed.

Roger did not treat Penguin badly, and gave him a generous reward, fulfilling his promise.

Wayne Group headquarters building.

Office of the Vice President.

Roger leaned on the sofa chair, playing with the storm hammer in his hand a little bored.

He's the only one in the office right now.

Selena went to the charity restaurant again today, and the two blond and brown-haired female secretaries that Fox had arranged for him were helping him with daily affairs outside the office.

Roger's airborne did not cause any sensation in the Wayne Group.

Bruce, who occupies the absolute control of the group, can completely ignore the opinions of other directors.

As long as he thought about it, not to mention just arranging Roger as a vice president, it would not be difficult to change all the employees of the entire group.

Just when Roger was thinking about where to eat with Selina tonight, the mobile phone he placed on the desk suddenly rang.

The caller was none other than Bruce.

"Diana is here. See you at the manor at eight o'clock tonight."

Bruce didn't have any nonsense for greetings, and said directly.

"okay, I get it!"

A look of expectation appeared on Roger's face, and he said quickly.

After waiting for several days, finally it was Diana.

After hanging up the phone, he picked up the landline on the table and dialed the intercom number.

"You can get off work today, if you have anything to do, come to me tomorrow."

After speaking, he put down the phone, and then decisively used the ability of the door fruit, and disappeared into the office.
