Chapter 2969: The green trees are thick and the summer is long (Part 3)
There was a driver in the car left by the old white man. The driver obviously knew Gordon. Gordon handed him a cigarette, and he started talking about his boss's background intermittently.
This guy actually doesn't have a big background. He used to be a real estate developer, but now he mainly operates resorts. He has some connections in the South District, and his name is Williams.
The land behind Schiller's house was indeed owned by developers before, and it was indeed used as a public green space. However, the company's recent poor management has made them think of selling the land again.
Schiller didn't know much about the specific legal terms, but he guessed that he had taken advantage of legal loopholes. This was normal for real estate developers. Anyway, he had obtained the land now, and the construction of the resort had been put on the agenda. Schedule.
Schiller found that he seemed to have a decorating habit, decorating wherever he went. The shuttle station that used to be next to the greedy Arkham Sanatorium had been built for several years. Now he has just moved to a new house and a resort is being built around it.
In fact, Schiller had no objection to them building a resort by the lake. When he was not working, there was already a lack of entertainment options. He could go to a restaurant to have a meal or go to a club to play cards. It would be nice to have a resort at the door. For entertainment, No need to go that far.
Of course, the decoration process may be troublesome, but after all, the woods are still a long way from the house, with a lawn in between. As long as the noise does not exceed the standard, Schiller will not interfere.
But he felt that Williams' plan would definitely not go smoothly, because this is a community green space. In theory, it belongs to the residents of the entire community. Whether they come or not is one thing. Building this kind of commercial building will greatly affect the development of the community. The residents here will definitely not be willing to destroy the privacy of the community.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for several cars to catch up. Schiller saw that there was a patient he was familiar with among them. The man in a suit stepped forward, shook hands with Schiller and said, "You are here as expected. Professor, have you seen that damn Williams? He's a racist from the middle states, and he's a damn bastard!"
Schiller nodded. Just now Williams did not hide it at all and publicly humiliated black people. You must know that the skin color equality movement is in full swing internationally. States on the east and west coasts have issued relevant anti-racial discrimination laws. The average person can only engage in discrimination. It’s a yin and yang thing, and it’s rare to see it so straightforwardly.
A woman at the back said: "They sold a piece of land twice. This group of cunning real estate developers did everything they could to get the land. Our mayor is now stretched thin."
"I heard that the mayor is also involved." Schiller asked, "What's wrong?"
"Oh, don't you know? The state assembly has sent a mayoral candidate, who seems to want to replace Mayor Roy. The situation of the election is not optimistic."
When several people chased Williams into the woods, Gordon shook his head and said: "You can only see the rotten flesh by cutting open the skin, but when the wound is exposed to the public, there are always people who use it as an excuse to claim that the city has Incompetent."
Schiller thought for a moment and understood that Roy had indeed made Gotham a better place, but after Gotham's fundamental problems were solved, more problems were exposed.
In the past, the people of Gotham had trouble with security. Now that security has improved, everyone can live peacefully. However, there are also many problems in life, such as transportation, urban construction, environmental protection...
When the public security was bad, no one dared to come. They all felt that coming to Gotham to serve was tantamount to suicide. But now that the public security situation is better, everyone feels that coming here to do some tricks to reverse the situation is another political achievement, isn't it?
The main reason is that Gotham, as a super city on the east coast, has a status similar to that of New York. Needless to say, the value of the mayor of New York is high. It is a position that both parties are competing for, and it is infinitely close to the center of American power.
For these people, Schiller can only express his respect and blessings. If they can solve Gotham's problems, the United States will not be what it is now.
This Williams seems to be the person who is preparing to be the mayor, but when he comes here, he first seeks his own benefit, which can be regarded as an old tradition that cannot be shaken.
"What are you going to do?" Gordon asked him.
"As long as he doesn't come to trouble me, I don't want to care about him." The two of them walked back together, and Schiller said: "His procedures for buying land and building a resort should be legal. As long as he can get the residents, then There’s nothing to criticize.”
"I think you would hate this kind of person."
"I've seen a lot more weird patients than this one, so I can't say I'm annoying. Again, as long as he doesn't bother me, it doesn't matter what he wants to do."
Gordon left quickly. He knew that Schiller would not participate in such a thing. Schiller was the kind of person who would not care as long as it did not harm him. The main purpose of Gordon's visit today was If you want to contact Bruce through Schiller, only Batman has the final say.
In fact, it was just because it was too hot, and Schiller could not move as long as he could. The high temperature made him feel that he was not in a good mental state, and he did not want to get involved in these things.
Soon Schiller saw Helen rushing in angrily. Schiller handed her a glass of ice water and asked, "What's wrong?"
"That damn bastard! He actually wants people to beat us!"
"Did you beat him to death?"
"Of course not, this is your territory, we can't do anything." Helen sighed, took a few gulps of ice water, and finally calmed down and said, "Squirrel Girl made him stumble, and Fungus made him stumble. His athlete's foot returned, that's all."
Schiller smiled and said, "He probably won't feel good these days. How did you get into conflict?"
"I climbed up the tree, and the old man pointed at my nose and cursed me, calling me a little bastard! He told me to get down quickly and not to damage his tree..." Helen felt more and more aggrieved. She was Doomsday, how could she bear this?
Schiller also sighed softly and said, "It's wrong for him to curse casually, but you also made him fall, so it's fair."
Helen nodded and didn't say much. As a result, Robert who came in later was even angrier than her, and he could be said to be cursing loudly.
He cursed for a long time before he remembered that Schiller was still here. He scratched his head a little embarrassedly. He looked at Schiller and said, "Professor, he is so arrogant, don't you plan to teach him a lesson?"
Schiller laughed and said, "Haven't you already taught him a lesson? What else do you want to do, kill him?"
Robert shuddered immediately and said, "Why did you mention killing? I mean I want to beat him up."
"He will call the police." Schiller said, "He bought the land, and all the procedures are legal and legitimate. You showed up on someone else's land and beat him up. The police will throw you into jail."
Robert was also a little frustrated. He said, "The police here are too powerful. The police cars I saw on the street before were all equipped with heavy firepower, and I might not be able to escape."
"Besides, Matt also said that you can't get into trouble by relying on your superpowers, but I just can't swallow this breath! He even called Helen a wild child!"
Soon the other three members of the New Warriors team came in. Except for Night Thrasher, the other two showed indignant expressions.
Schiller was still very calm. He said, "It's not illegal for him to buy land and build a resort. It's also a legitimate right to drive you out. But if you illegally invade or even violently infringe, I won't go to the police station to bail you out."
Several people became depressed.
Schiller seemed a little surprised. He paused for a long time before saying, "I mean, he is legal, and you are not."
"Yes, I know, professor." Robert hummed and said, "We won't cause you any trouble."
Then Schiller found that they really didn't understand what he said, so he had to say more bluntly, "Of course it's illegal for you to beat him up, so can't you think of a legal way?"
Robert was stunned. Is that what he meant?
Schiller continued, "It's indeed legal for him to buy land and build a house, so is there nothing else he can do that's illegal?"
Several people suddenly realized.
Why are there so many stupid kids on Greed's side? Schiller thought helplessly that although Robin on his side was noisy, he was still smart and understood everything in this regard. He didn't know what they were like.
Several people immediately started discussing with great interest. Some said they wanted to check Williams's property, some said they wanted to see the procedures for his land purchase, and some said they wanted to find out if his subordinates had any illegal behavior.
Helen came to Schiller and said with a smile: "I knew you wouldn't stand idly by, professor, you will help me vent my anger, right?"
"What do you want me to do? Throw him into the lake? Let me make it clear, it's too difficult to throw the body in this season, you can do it yourself."
Helen still couldn't get used to the people here talking about killing and disposing of bodies so lightly. She had discovered that everyone here regarded killing and dismembering as the last resort to deal with social problems, completely replacing the ecological niche of the phrase "forget it if it doesn't work" in social interaction. When it was mentioned, it was unusually calm and creepy.
The people on my side were a bit irritable, but it was just a lot of noise but little action. The people in Gotham were different. Most of them were ruthless and didn't talk much, so Helen and the others were forced to control their tempers and learn not to easily provoke before knowing the other party's background. Otherwise, they would have fought with the man named Williams.
Just like Professor Schiller in front of her, after getting along with him for a few days, Helen found that it was indeed as Dr. Schiller said. Under normal circumstances, the professor had a good temper. He didn't care if you didn't provoke him.
Even if you offended him, as long as you apologized sincerely, he wouldn't do anything to you. At that time, they were playing in the backyard with water and mud and made a mess of the garden. When Schiller found out, they quickly apologized and cleaned it up quickly, but they just got a cold eye.
Even ordinary people would get angry if this happened to them, but Professor Schiller's mood was still very stable.
The same thing happened with the resort this time. Although the resort would destroy the beautiful scenery behind the house and occupy the place where Schiller used to relax, as long as it made sense and did not threaten Schiller, he did not seem to want to intervene.
No wonder this universe did not develop as fast as theirs. Helen thought, if it was the doctor, he would not be Schiller if he did not wrap a super invincible giant ball of yarn to suffocate Williams and the people behind him.
Schiller did not want to intervene, but Helen did. Wanting to build a tree house was one thing, but the old man's attitude was really bad. Even Iron Man had to punch him. If he did not teach him a lesson, did he really think that Doomsday had a good temper?
Just then, Schiller's cell phone rang. After he picked it up, he raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "You are back? Okay, see you at the old place tonight."
"Who's back?" Helen looked at him and asked.
"Robins, they have returned from you and said they brought some local specialties. Let's go to Wayne Manor tonight."
The summer in Chongqing really left a huge psychological shadow on me.
