Chapter 42 New Position Invitation

In a small bar located on the edge of the wealthy area in the southern part of Gotham City, Schiller squeezed a little lemon juice into the gin, picked up the glass, and said to Gordon: "Congratulations, detective, now at least you can do what you want."

Bruce, who was across the round table, also raised his glass. After Harvey picked up the glass, he said: "It's time to celebrate. You are the most honest policeman I have ever seen."

The four of them clinked their glasses. Gordon took a sip of the wine. His face was a little red. He didn't know whether it was excitement or the effect of alcohol. He said: "The more this happens, the more I know that I am still far behind."

Bruce said: "It's always good to make progress."

Schiller smiled, he covered his mouth with the glass, and then said: "Really? It seems that our recent innocent little boy has made great progress?"

Bruce put down the glass and said: "I remember that you once said that you have no advice on my personal emotional life."

"But I also reminded you that it's best to be careful with your kidneys. I mean to protect your kidneys, not just to prevent them from being stabbed. The scenery of Trick Street is indeed It's really good. The neon lights there are famous all over the East Coast..."

Gordon's eyes turned back and forth between the two of them, then he raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you talking about?"

"Nothing, I just advise you to stop meddling in other people's business. Some people are very confident in their kidney function."

Gordon understood it, and he said, "It seems that Bruce has a rich love life recently."

Schiller put down his glass and said with a smile, "On the contrary."

Harvey knew something about the inside story. He touched Bruce with his arm and said, "It seems that you and the girl you mentioned are progressing very quickly. How is it? Have you confirmed your relationship?"

Gordon immediately pricked up his ears. Bruce touched his temple and looked at the three people's eyes who were watching the fun and didn't mind the trouble. He said, "Don't be like this, don't be like this, what does it matter? That's my private matter. The theme of our party today is to celebrate Gordon's promotion."

"I don't think the position of team leader of the Gotham Police Department is as worth celebrating as our world's richest man having a new girlfriend." Gordon said.

"That's a bit exaggerated. After all, the world's richest man has too many girlfriends." Schiller said.

"But the team leader of the police station is just like an ordinary policeman, useless." Gordon said self-deprecatingly.

Bruce was helpless by them. He said: "Okay, I admit that it's like this. I fell in love with a girl... No, not that kind of love, not because of her pretty face and figure... Oh, of course she is beautiful and has a great figure, but not..."

Gordon and Harvey both looked like you don't need to explain. Harvey also said: "At your age, I fell in love with any girl, and I felt that it was not because of their appearance, but now I know that this statement is fart, and all men in the world who say this are fart."

Gordon pulled his tie and said: "Is there really a girl who made Bruce fall in love? Then I really want to see who he is."

Bruce said: "She is not special, just a girl from the slums. Like all ordinary girls, she likes shiny gems and jewelry, and her dream is to have a castle full of gems."

"Do you prefer a castle in Germany or France?" Schiller asked, "I think Neuschwanstein Castle is good, how about buying it?"

Bruce couldn't bear it anymore and flicked his glass. He said, "I'm not flirting with her! I'm serious, don't look at me like that, I admit that I used to be a little... well, not a little... but I really plan to marry her..."

"You are not facing her now, so you don't have to say these nice words."

Schiller quickly interrupted Bruce's flag. Can anyone say this?

But it doesn't matter. Anyway, Batman is the protagonist, and it shouldn't be a big deal for the protagonist to say this.

Bruce took a sip of wine, and he seemed a little excited. He said, "We have indeed confirmed our relationship, and we have been dating for several nights in a row. She gave me a very beautiful gem."

"What about you? Didn't you give her anything?" Harvey asked.

Bruce said, "I'm thinking about it."

"That's a bit rude." Harvey said, "Do you look down on her slum origin? But forgive me for being frank, not everyone is as lucky as you. I think at least for you, class can't stop love..."

"Of course I don't think so."

"The problem is, if you don't give her a gift to prove your feelings quickly, she might think so." Schiller said. "Any slum girl dating the world's richest man probably wouldn't be very confident."

"Okay." Bruce said, "What do you think I should give her? I thought about it for a long time but couldn't think of it."

Harvey didn't know the true face of Catwoman because he didn't know Bruce was Batman, let alone the story between them.

But Schiller knew it very well.

Schiller said, "How about a pearl necklace?"

Bruce tightened his grip on the glass, took a sip and said, "I have to admit that I don't like pearl necklaces very much, but if she does, I will definitely give her the best one."

After the party, Schiller went back to his apartment to clean up, except for the smell of alcohol.

There is a reason why Schiller shuttles between DC and Marvel. After coming to DC, on the one hand, he wants to wait for the plot of Marvel to take its course, and on the other hand, he also wants to finish things here on time.

He is a relatively cautious person, and he hopes that everything will have a beginning and an end. Although it was a bit unexpected that the old principal did not go to prison, his original purpose of coming back was to clear up the beginning and end left by the last Jonathan case.

The old principal has now become Batman's target, and Schiller does not plan to intervene for the time being, but there is still one person, that is the missing Director Victor.

Schiller knew that it was Sal Maroni who kidnapped him. Even so, Maroni might not kill him. A former police chief could get a lot of useful information out of him. Maroni suffered such a huge loss that he would not let Victor die easily unless he could make up for his losses.

But Schiller had to kill Victor.

In the early days of Jonathan's case, he was not capable enough. When he stole the fear gas, he only used the simplest method, which was burglary. But at that time, he could not leave no traces at all. Although he cleared 99% of the traces, he still had to kill the remaining 1% of the possibility of being discovered.

In order to overturn Jonathan's case, Victor entered the evidence room more than once. This old policeman was the only one who could expose Schiller's theft of the fear gas.

You know, after Jonathan entered the mental hospital, the most traditional version of the fear gas concentrate was out of print, but due to Maroni's huge losses, many gangsters have set their sights on this weapon. Once someone reveals who stole the fear gas, the gangsters will swarm in like sharks smelling meat.

Schiller originally planned to visit Maroni, but before that, an unexpected person came to him.

Schiller followed a man in black into the car. A man in a suit sitting in front said, "Professor Schiller, you don't have to be afraid. The Godfather asked you to come over because he needs your help."

The extended luxury car soon arrived at a manor not far from the South District. Schiller followed the guide into the manor. The decoration of the manor was very old-fashioned. After he entered, he went up to the third floor. The guide knocked on the door, and a deep voice came from inside: "Come in."

Schiller walked in and saw a tall man, or an old man. His hair was silver-gray. He was wearing a very decent suit and a bow tie. There was a red poppy on his chest pocket. He had a kind of imposing aura.

He fumbled with the ring on his hand and said to Schiller, "Professor Rodriguez, I'm sorry to bother you. I asked you to come because I need your help."

"I am honored to serve you, Mr. Falcone."

Schiller walked over and was separated from Falcone by a table. Behind him was a floor-to-ceiling window, and two bodyguards in black stood on both sides.

Falcone didn't say anything, he nodded, and then directly said: "I have a son, he is not young this year, my family and business need him to inherit, I hope to hire you as his tutor."

Before Schiller asked questions, Falcone said: "His previous tutor was shot three times in the chest and was not rescued. I heard that you can even make Bruce Wayne hand in his homework on time, so you should be a good candidate for a teacher."

"Of course, I'm not threatening you. I know you got into some trouble in Metropolis. Some people followed the smell and found this place, but now they should all be in the gutter."

"This is my sincerity, how about it?"

Schiller looked at Falcone, he was more like the early DC comics portrayal of this gangster boss. Falcone's inspiration came from Corleone in The Godfather, the character portrayed by Marlon Brando.

Now it seems that compared to the image of Falcone in a jacket and strange sunglasses shown in movies and TV series, this old man is indeed more like the godfather of the family that rules the huge gang in Gotham.

"Okay, but I have another request."

"The previous police chief is missing..." Schiller said.

"Do you want to find him?"

"No, I want to kill him."

Falcone sat down, took a cigar handed to him by the person next to him, took a puff, exhaled the smoke, and slowly said "Victor... I know him, a clever old liar, what is your grudge against him?"

"I think, in Gotham, you don't have to have a grudge to kill someone."

Falcone smiled with the cigar, and said, "It seems that you will indeed be a good teacher."
