Chapter 509: There Is Also Heaven in Gotham
Arthur had never seen such an approachable Thomas Wayne. His kind eyes and gentle tone and manner made him want to cry. This was a scene he longed for, so now he was rewarded with a beautiful dream?
"I deserve all this..."
Arthur's lips moved, and finally he showed a big smile: "Of course, it's my honor, Mr. Wayne."
He began to live a wealthy and happy life as the eldest son of the Wayne family. Compared with before, it was really like going from hell to heaven. Arthur used to be very angry, angry at everyone in the city, never understanding others, and never respecting others, but now, he found that he was wrong, or he had never known the other side of Gotham.
When he was the eldest son of Thomas Wayne, in the process of interacting with people, everyone he came into contact with was polite and smiling, whether it was service staff, friends, politicians or police, everyone was very considerate of him, and these experiences and life were also what Arthur had never dared to think about before.
‘It turns out that heaven is on earth…’
Arthur has lived in Gotham for decades, and he never thought that this corrupt and sinful city actually has such a beautiful side. He felt unfamiliar and ridiculous. Why did he never notice these beautiful things in the same city?
When traveling, he either had a driver to lead the way, or took a special train or a private plane. When he came and went, everyone he saw was dressed in a suit and had a peaceful face. Criminals, tramps, drug addicts, and rats never appeared in his sight.
Life also became rich and colorful. Outside of work, he had a lot of time to accompany his family, go fishing, travel, or have a grand party. There would always be beautiful young women at the party. They surrounded Arthur like bees chasing honey.
Arthur certainly felt quite uncomfortable at first, but people have always had a strong ability to adapt. What's more, his mental state has now returned to normal. He is no longer the paranoid, delusional, schizophrenic, and difficult to control laughing lunatic.
Naturally, he soon indulged in such a colorful world. Sometimes, of course, he would think that these were all false dreams, not his real life, but then he thought, isn't everyone's life a dream?
In just a few decades, it passed in the blink of an eye. No matter how much experience you have, it will all be in vain in the end. In this case, why don't I enjoy such a beautiful dream?
Arthur thought, I have been miserable and unlucky for decades, and this beautiful dream should be a kind of compensation. Just enjoy it and don't think too much.
As time passed, Arthur had completely changed into a well-educated, polite and kind elite in Thomas Wayne's words. The people he was dating now were either big stars, rich tycoons, or politicians in power, and the topics they talked about were all about how to develop and build cities.
Arthur's dream was to become a successful comedian, but now that he has fulfilled his dream, he feels that the identity of a comedian is a bit of an eyesore.
He began to be interested in business, and he enjoyed the feeling of signing a few documents, and a certain area of the huge city would be demolished, or a new high-rise building would be built... This feeling of controlling the entire city was intoxicating.
Thomas Wayne was naturally very pleased with this, and thought that Arthur was on the right path, just like him.
The father and son had talked to each other many times, and both believed that as the richest family in Gotham, the Wayne family should build and develop the city well. The two also reached a consensus that if they wanted to transform Gotham into what they wanted, they had to start from the political and economic levels, and both hands had to be strong.
So Thomas Wayne was going to run for mayor, and Arthur had to take on the responsibility of the family company. During this period, he also changed a lot. Influenced by his father Thomas Wayne, his past words and deeds began to gradually become the second generation of Thomas Wayne. When people praised him for inheriting the glory of the Wayne family, Arthur was proud and proud.
But some things have not changed. On the other side of Gotham, which Arthur was once familiar with but now gradually feels unfamiliar with, riots still broke out, murders in the city became more frequent, strikes were organized in many places, traffic was chaotic, and sanitation and public security were increasingly corrupted.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Arthur Wayne now. All he saw were some data on paper, such as the increase in unemployment rate, economic decline, people's happiness index, GDP growth or decline, etc.
From these data, it is natural to analyze the difficulties faced by the entire Gotham, but the data is always cold, and it is difficult to realize that behind a series of numbers, there are actually living people and impoverished families.
Arthur can no longer see these. He only knows that he and the Wayne family he represents must stand up and change the decline of the entire city. So when Thomas Wayne launched his campaign, he also actively campaigned for his father and was excited by Thomas Wayne's slogans.
He felt that his father was truly a gentle and kind man, and letting such a good man take charge of Gotham was the only way out!
When Arthur accidentally saw some people holding signs and slogans protesting against his father, he felt confused and angry. These burdens of the city, lazy parasites, don’t you know who is your savior?
You are really ignorant and lazy. You are not willing to learn knowledge and technology, and you don’t have the ability and capacity to improve yourself and everything around you. Now you are helped and guided by capable, kind and righteous good people. Not only are you not grateful, but you also stand up to oppose?
Arthur felt that these people were the root cause of Gotham’s quagmire.
The next thing that happened completely ignited his anger. He learned that several employees of his company were brutally shot by gangsters on their way home from get off work!
Arthur’s first reaction was unbelievable, because he often went in and out of the company now. Every employee he saw in the company was diligent, full of vitality and fighting spirit, and striving for progress. Elite people, these people are the driving force for the development of Wayne Company and even the entire Gotham.
They dedicated their youth and sweat to the development of Wayne Group and Gotham, and improved the living environment of the insects, but in the end they were cruelly harmed by the insects!
