Thomas was puzzled. If Bruce bought a Lamborghini sports car, he would be able to understand. Who doesn’t like luxury cars and yachts in young people? But what is your idea of ​​buying a Lamborghini tractor? Show off your wealth to the scarecrow in the field?

Thomas couldn't help but look down, and then he became even more confused.

The previous consumption record for Lamborghini tractor consumption was a children's slide, which is normal, after all, there are four children in Wayne Manor.

Children of this age are disgusted with dogs because they are too noisy and have endless energy. They always need some entertainment facilities to vent their energy and can also promote parent-child relationships.

However, the next one of the children's slides is a large-sized cow bone grinding rod, and then the next one is still a children's slide. The up and up one is still a children's slide. Looking down, the five or six behind are all children's slides.

Judging from the product description of the flow record list, these are not several different models of slides, but seven or eight slides of the same model were bought. No matter how big the garden of Wayne Manor is, it doesn’t require seven or eight identical children’s slides, right?

The previous consumption records were not much better. They were all duplicate non-consumables, either stair handrails or sofa pillows. The floor was repaired 16 times a month.

Thomas stared at the bill and began to think about the possibility of Bruce false reimbursement for his account.

But this is actually completely impossible. What is the point of forging your own flow entry? No matter how you forge it, isn’t the money also released from your account?

With a lot of questions in his mind, Thomas temporarily put down this problem because Bruce's personal account has not had much money in the past few years except for the Lamborghini tractor. Even luxury goods such as sports cars were bought four years ago.

Thomas turned his attention back to the public account of Wayne Group, and the entries on them were very particular.

From the expenses of building materials, it can be seen that Bruce is interested in real estate business, but the bright idea mentioned above is not the cost of real estate development projects, but other investments. In terms of income projects, all investments have not yet achieved returns.

This shows that Bruce has not done commercial real estate development anymore, so what did he build with these things?

Then look down, there are some obvious road and bridge building materials, and the materials are of high specifications and large quantity, which are obviously not from the road surface of the building community.

In addition, there are power grid and tap water pipeline construction, street lights and solar equipment, flower bed stone building, road beautification plants, etc.

This shows that Bruce is not building a property, but has brought back all the infrastructure of the entire area.

Thomas touched his chin and remembered all the materials in his mind, and then began to estimate how big the area could be built with such an amazing cost of building materials.

Soon, he came to an astonishing conclusion that such sky-high costs could at least rebuild infrastructure and residential and commercial construction of about 30 square kilometers in such megacities with the most densely populated areas.

Thomas, who came to this conclusion, immediately bounced off the bed, but as soon as he sat up, he felt a black look in front of him.

He felt like a big stone was pressed on his chest, and he couldn't breathe, and blood surged toward his head in waves.

Morey, who was standing aside, hurriedly supported him and lay down again. Thomas hung on the edge of the bed for two minutes before recovering a little.

During this period of time, Thomas has not had a good rest, but has not had a rest at all. Moreover, "this period" was calculated from the Flash's journey to his universe.

When he learned that he might be able to resurrect Bruce, Thomas worked for several days with his courage and passion.

When his excitement reached its peak, he was hit by a blow. When Bruce was resurrected, he would become Batman, which instantly extinguished his passion.

Originally, he should have gone to rest because of decadence, but there was another stimulation that made him unable to stop. The death of the clown Martha caused his body and mind to suffer a severe blow.

Later, Thomas came to this world and was not idle for a moment. First, Schiller fooled him to oppose Bruce, and then learned that his son might have a congenital mental illness, and then found that the Wayne family's industry was in danger.

Any of these blows is fatal to ordinary people. Thomas can persevere because he is Batman.

But in fact, this is not the main reason. The most important thing is that Thomas is not young anymore.

He is not the Batman in his prime, but just an old man who has been tragically destroyed by fate.

Thomas's living habits are not good, he is both addicted to smoking and drinking, and he has the habit of drinking heavily for a long time. He stays up late every day, and the black and white are reversed, and his life span is simply shortened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lying on the hospital bed, Thomas felt a sense of panic for the first time.

But for some reason, after experiencing countless pains and almost giving up, but after coming to this world, something new was supporting him to overcome physical pain and stand up again.

Maybe in the final analysis, I still feel worried.

The consequences of over-control are not only the inability of the children to be independent, but also the parents’ fear of letting go. Thomas is worried about Bruce.

There is a kind of parents in this world who spend their whole lives worrying and fearing, and always worrying about their children's bad life, and they will die on the road to rush for their descendants.

Thomas took a deep breath and held it in his chest, forced himself to stand up, and looked at Morey and said, "Send me back to the company and find newspapers, current affairs magazines and news records for nearly half a year, especially the international situation and the local trends of Gotham."

Morey soon went to do it. In the next two days, Thomas began to make up for common sense in this universe, and there were indeed many things beyond Thomas's cognition.

For example, the great power in the distance is still surviving, such as the fire catching a fire at the doorstep of the United States, and the development of the tourism and gambling industry, as well as the Gotham transformation project, which is the most vivid description.

Thomas frowned and looked at the Gotham renovation project on the front page of the Gotham Daily. He spoke to Morey and said, "Prepare the car, I want to go and see it in person."

After a while, the car arrived downstairs, and Thomas got in and drove towards the direction of the completed East District renovation project of Gotham.

Soon, the car drove to the place where the East District project was underway. Now the residential renovation project is gradually slowing down, mainly to increase infrastructure construction. All residential buildings that have been renovated have a occupancy rate of 100%. Therefore, although the construction machinery is still driving, there are also many people around.

When Thomas walked out of the car, he instinctively looked up at the exterior of the building. If he watched the renovation project from a distance, he would feel that nothing special. At most, there was a lot of green plants planted on the terrace between the buildings, but this was also uncommon among many communities in Italy.

But if you look closely, you will find many clues. First of all, all the buildings of the fourth phase renovation project are connected, and many places that seem to be terraces are also wrapped in the building, like greenhouses made of glass.

The building is not very high and cannot reach the level of a skyscraper, but because all the buildings are connected into one, there is another shock, it seems to have become an independent world.

The people and plants living in this world all seem so small, like the residue contained in the mouth of a giant steel beast, with a decadent but ethereal beauty, full of people's fantasies about the apocalypse.

If you get closer, you can see the high-tech weapons fixed to the wall, the cold light emitted by patrolling drones, and the dazzling white light emitted by the automatically rotating searchlights. The ultimate technological style is like a head of cold water, extinguishing all people's fantasies.

In addition, the traditional Gothic patterns retained by the shiny and dreamy neon signs and architectural stone parts make people feel even more bizarre, as if they fell into a dream that was intertwined by the past and the future.

Thomas slowly entered this dream. The weapons ignored him and the bright lights did not shine. So he walked into drowsiness step by step, but at the moment he stepped into the building, he suddenly became enlightened.

What surprised him was that it was not crowded at all, the walls of the building were incredibly thin and did not occupy much space at all. Because of the reasonable structure and the windows and good lighting, the space seemed to be larger.

There is nothing to say about the structure of a residence. It is more like a hotel than a luxury house or an apartment building. The difference is that there will be at least one large terrace on each floor. Most of the terraces are closed on both sides, and the remaining few sides are light-transmitting glass walls, which is equivalent to a sun room.

The rest of the roads are all gardens with planted plants, and there is only a narrow path to pass through. After walking through the initial reception hall and taking the elevator to the upstairs, you can see people.

What surprised Thomas the most was that most of the people here saw him a stranger appearing in their living area without any extreme reaction. They just looked at Thomas with a strange look, and then went to their own.

Of course, this situation may not be too strange if this happens in any other city in the world, but this is Gotham.

This is a place where gun-carrying gangs or explosion-crazy people can be rushed out of anytime and anywhere. Thomas also came to the East District in his early years. At that time, crime was not so rampant, but no citizen would relax his vigilance to this point.

Then Thomas took the elevator to the higher floor, and to his surprise, he saw the school here.

It is a real school, not a noble school. Those who attend school here are not the young masters and ladies of wealthy families in the south, but the real children of ordinary families in the east.

Thomas didn't walk in. He just stood outside the door and looked in secret, with a hint of guilt and a hint of luck.

The old hand holding the door frame began to tremble slightly. The old man who had experienced all the miserable hardships in this world after vicissitudes and suffering from all the miserable hardships in this world, his pursed lips and slightly red eyes were telling what he saw. It was the best blessing in this world and the most vicious curse. Its name is "Hope".

Thomas's hand clenched into a fist, and he turned toward the door frame hard, but when he touched the surface of the building, it was lighter. When his palm touched the wood grain, it was as light as if he was stroking his lover's hair.

Thomas stood still for a moment, then walked quickly towards the elevator, took the elevator downstairs, strode away from the building, and got in the car and returned to Wayne Building as fast as possible.

When he sat on the chair in the office, Thomas gasped with a ferocious look, and then slowly closed his eyes. From the corners of his eyes to the lips, every wrinkle was telling his struggle.

Losing a son, losing his wife, leaving his hometown, walking the path of suffering for most of his life is like half-cutting into the whirlpool of quicksand. This despair cannot be understood by experience.

When the most miserable tragedies in the world are stacked on a person, no will cannot be destroyed, and no hope cannot be erased.

Many pictures flashed before Thomas' eyes, Bruce looked at him, the doctor's warning to him, the focused expressions of the children in the East District...

In the face of suffering, smart people should learn to give up early, but in this world, there are a group of fools who have been pride many times when they are knocked on their heads, and how many basins of cold water can never extinguish the fire of their hearts. Thousands of suffering can hardly be cold and hot blood.

When the old Batman opened his eyes again, he breathed out like an important decision.

In an instant, fragments of the international situation flashed through Thomas' mind, shattered into fine spots of light, and intertwined into countless complicated lines.

Thomas gently tapped his finger on the table, and asked Morey blankly, "Is Lieutenant General Abers still alive?"

"You are talking about the Army General you knew in the early years? He is still alive and has been promoted to general." Morey replied.

Thomas took a deep breath, his eyes cold as if he was the crocodile before he shed tears. When the low voice of this sophisticated capital tycoon sounded, it was like sharp teeth grinding flesh and blood.

"Contact Mexico, Wayne Group is willing to provide internationalist assistance to the new democratic fighters in Guadalajara."

"Tell Admiral Abers that the military spending will increase by 50% next year, and Wayne will have 70%."
