Chapter 318: #318 - Team Building

To Shimizu's delight, the two head butlers of the Wayne family did not discuss the matter with him.

"I know, I know, Mr. Walter, we are very grateful for your help and the help of those friends to Bruce."

Alfred and Lucius took the initiative to stand up and bowed slightly to Shimizu.

"You two don't need to be so polite. I just want to know, what exactly are you here for?"

Alfred and Lucius looked at each other.

"Even though Gotham's underworld is now close to unified, and the crime rate has slightly decreased, this city must still have a Batman who can act at any time and instill fear in criminals to suppress evil and prevent the crime rate from rebounding."

"You don't want to drag me into being Batman, do you?"

Shimizu raised his eyebrows slightly.

He didn't want to be like Batman, patrolling Gotham all night long, non-stop.

However, if he could use this to get access to some of Batman's good stuff, it wouldn't be impossible to work part-time for a while.

"No, we are not here to ask you to be Batman. This duty will be temporarily taken over by Master Grayson for a period of time until Master Wayne returns.

We are here to find Mr. Walter, hoping that you can use your transformation ability to disguise yourself as Master Wayne when necessary. Batman can be Bruce Wayne, but Bruce Wayne cannot be Batman. I think you understand this, and when necessary, replace Master Wayne as the chairman of Wayne Enterprises to attend some events and meetings."

Shimizu tapped the table, not answering immediately.

Lucius understood that this was asking for benefits.

In any case, this trouble was ultimately caused by Bruce Wayne himself.

If it were a shining example of a superhero like Superman, he would definitely provide help without asking for anything in return, but the one in front of him was a capitalist.

A major capitalist whose wealth ranking is in the top thirty in the current United States.

"So Alfred and I brought it up. I think maybe Wayne Enterprises can develop more business cooperation with Walter Group as a reward."

Lucius said.

The opportunity has come!

"Ahem, well, I heard Bruce mention nanobots before. I want to know how far Wayne Enterprises has gone in nanotechnology."

Lucius and Alfred exchanged another secret glance.

The latter nodded slightly.

"Mr. Walter, although this is a trade secret of Wayne Enterprises, but..."

"Wait a minute."

Shimizu interrupted Lucius's useless business price-raising tactics.

"Speaking of secrets."

Shimizu took out his modified mobile phone, swiped it a few times, and placed it on the table.

A holographic projection representing the structure diagram of the Arc Reactor was projected above the screen.

"I think Mr. Lucius should be familiar with this thing, but it is a secret of Walter Group and my individual, a secret among secrets. All related information has always been locked in my private database, and that database is isolated from the outside network. Only I have access..."

Lucius covered his forehead with his hand speechlessly.

This time, in order to clean up the mess for Master Wayne, he would have to bleed a little more.

While Shimizu was arguing with Lucius.

In a distant universe.

Bruce Wayne felt pain all over his body and opened his eyes.

Well.

Not an unfamiliar ceiling, but a familiar sky.

Gotham's sky.

"You're awake."

Huh? Why does this voice sound so familiar?

Bruce Wayne used his willpower to overcome the pain in his body and barely sat up from the ground.

This person is...

Gordon?

Younger than the one in the original universe.

"I didn't expect that after you died for so many years, you would be resurrected in such an alley."

Gordon took out a cigarette, lit it, and said.

This world... is it a world without Batman?

Bruce Wayne looked at Gordon.

He needed to learn more about this world.

...

...

No mistake, one hand, one shot, one content, read one by one!

Marvel World.

[Current luck value: ]

Shimizu looked at the luck value on the panel that had suddenly increased a little, and his eyes were thoughtful.

Just now, the avatar in the DC world completed the main construction of the IPEAC department and successfully pulled up a combat-effective squad.

The Black and White Canary sisters have joined, and Martin Stein has accepted Shimizu's high-paying invitation to become the scientific advisor and director of the scientific research department of Walter Group and IPEAC.

Shimizu can provide him with world-class experimental equipment and large investments for his physics research.

As for Jefferson Jackson, the Fusion candidate matched with Martin Stein, it is even simpler.

This person was once a sports student and a quarterback on the high school football team.

It's just that compared to other sports students, he lacks precipitation and doesn't have an indestructible body that can withstand nuclear bombs. He was seriously injured a few months ago, and his cultural courses are very polarized, and his overall score is average.

The cultural course grades are not enough to obtain a loan subsidized by the local state government, so I can only try to see.

And he is still from a poor single-parent family.

Jefferson's college dream is almost shattered.

When the Flash team and Martin Stein found him, he was working as a mechanic in a car factory.

Disheartened, Jefferson refused to join and become Firestorm, just wanting to earn money to support his family honestly.

Shimizu's solution is very direct.

Because Jefferson is an apprentice in the Walter car dealership.

Shimizu directly gave him a promotion and salary increase, and transferred him to Walter Group headquarters.

Well, working in the scientific research department, the job content is to be researched, and by the way, working part-time as a hero in IPEAC to save the world, you can get double the salary.

At first, this black young man was a little unwilling, but when Walter Group's employee benefits were distributed to his home and looked at by his mother with a gratified look, the black young man compromised.

Instead, the Rogues have some small troubles.

It's not that these people are unwilling, because Shimizu gives a lot of money, which can completely satisfy their wanton squandering.

This villain team is as united as a superhero team.

Captain Cold wanted Shimizu to help rescue his companions who were imprisoned in Blackgate Penitentiary—they were defeated and sent in by the Flash and Green Arrow working together.

Of course Shimizu wanted to get them out and add them to his team.

Unfortunately, Shimizu was late.

Those people had already been targeted by Amanda Waller and were estimated to be put together into the Suicide Squad.

Weather Wizard, Captain Boomerang, Pied Piper, Trickster, Rainbow Raider, half of the Rogues' main members were caught.

However, Shimizu promised that if the Rogues helped him take the position of IPEA director, they could be reunited.
