Chapter 169

It smiled at me. Yet this is a clear example of human nature. If you are not like them, then you are wrong, then you are bad, ugly. This mental thinking is already firmly entrenched in the people of Gotham, and possibly the world. And the fact that Gotham is one of the most criminogenic cities in the world is entirely due to such "respectable people." And this is depressing. Although, in principle, I do not care about their opinion of me. After all, we will now be in different places and will hardly intersect directly.

I went to see Gordon, he, by the way, reacted to my appearance with surprise, but did not feel dislike. We talked a little, it seems on an intuitive level that he understood that I was "saying goodbye" to him as a boss and I'm unlikely to reappear here. His wife and Bullock were not at the station, but I said hello to them. And then he left there.

On the way home, I bought Gotham News and watched the latest news from the media. I read a little for myself, people built different theories of how a simple cop got such powers and what nature are they? Where did I disappear after that battle with Ares and why the government is silent. After all, they did not give any official statements.

Then I smiled as I read the latest bulletins on the Gotham business elite. And our beloved Hannah Michaelson definitely has among her ancestors not only her unknown grandmother from Themyscira, but also the Vikings. After all, her surname hints to everyone that among the harsh Scandinavian guys there were smart-ass guys who knew how to choose the right moment in order to get rich.

And the thing is that the attack of the whole God of War was seriously reflected on the Exchange. A bunch of different companies, both large and small, sank very strongly in the market and went bankrupt. Although the fight ended relatively quickly, it was still enough to panic and collapse in prices on Walt Street, Singapore and Amsterdam. Hannah fussed in time and bought up all the gold mining companies in Africa and some of the archipelagos of Oceania. In addition, it became a shareholder even in Wayne Industries, Lex Corp, Queen Industries and a bunch of other companies. And now she is the third largest in the world by state, after Bruce Wayne and Lex Luthor.

Smart yeah you won't say anything.

Although it is worth rejoicing for her, she is a very interesting person. Can I drag her to the Alliance? Not a bad idea, you need to think it over thoroughly.

And not only her. Kara from another Earth has already officially introduced herself in Gotham as an aspiring businesswoman and has good chances to enter the shark business of Gotham in the near future. Her company is called Starrvar Industries, although I still do not understand what they do, but I will have to ask Kara in person. By the way, in her "human form" she has red hair. I saw a photo where she gives a press conference with long, even hair and strict glasses. By the way, it is difficult to recognize in her the Power Girl that saves Gotham.

I just wanted to get in the car and go home when Bruce called me. From your official mobile:

- Hi Bruce. Have you decided to inquire about my health? Or on business?

- Both options are correct. Are you able to help me in one case?

- Yes, in principle, I am able to help. Only with what?

- Come to my estate, I'll tell you.

- OK!

I wonder what he wanted from me?

Sasha Bordeaux met me. The bodyguard greeted me and, without unnecessary dialogues, invited me to the holy of holies. To Bet Cave!

I even got a little freaked out from realizing where the elevator was taking me.

It was much larger than my base several times, while it had several exit routes that stretched, according to the "Map", in different directions and were different in length from several hundred meters to ten kilometers.

Bruce and Dick Grayson met me downstairs.

- Hey. - Dick waved to me affably. That's good, so they didn't know that I was the one who leaked that video to the Joker.

- Healthy. What happened?

- Somewhat. Grayson replied and nodded at Bruce.

- I will have a request for you. She's very ... specific.

- Have you decided to get married? - I smiled. - So happy for you. At first I thought it was a fake, but now, seeing you two next to me, I understand that this is fate! I am a witness from which side? On the part of the bride or groom? Are you Miss Bordeaux?
