Chapter 2969: The Green Trees Are Thick and the Summer Is Long (Part )
There was a driver in the car left by the white old man. The driver obviously knew Gordon. Gordon handed him a cigarette, and he started to talk about his boss's background in a halting manner.
This guy actually doesn't have a very prominent background. He used to be a real estate developer and now mainly runs a resort business. He has some connections in the South District. His name is Williams.
The land behind Schiller's house had indeed been acquired by a developer before and was indeed used as a public green space, but the company's business was not doing well recently, so they had some evil ideas and wanted to sell the land again.
Schiller didn't quite understand the specific legal terms, but he guessed that it was a loophole in the law. However, this was common for real estate developers. Anyway, he had the land now and the construction of the resort was already on the agenda.
Schiller found that he seemed to have a decorating physique. Wherever he went, he would decorate it. Next to the greedy Arkham Sanatorium, the shuttle station had been under construction for several years. Now they had just moved into a new house, and a resort was going to be built around it.
In fact, Schiller had no objection to them building a resort by the lake. When he was not working, there were very few entertainment options. He could go to a restaurant to eat or play cards at a club. It was also nice to have a resort at the doorstep so that he wouldn't have to go so far for entertainment.
Of course, the decoration process may be annoying, but after all, the woods are quite a distance away 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 was a community green space, which theoretically belonged to the residents of the entire community. Whether they came or not was one thing, and building such a commercial building would greatly undermine the privacy of the community, and the residents here would definitely not be willing to do so.
Sure enough, several cars came after him not long after. Schiller looked and saw a patient he was familiar with among them. The man in a suit and tie walked up to Schiller, shook his hand and said, "You are here after all, Professor. Have you seen that damn Williams? He is a racist from the middle states, a damn bastard!"
Schiller nodded. Williams did not hide his true colors at all just now and openly humiliated black people. You have to know that the international movement for racial equality is in full swing now. States on the east and west coasts have introduced relevant anti-racial discrimination laws. Most people who discriminate at most are sarcastic. It is rare to see such straightforward behavior.
A lady at the back said, "They sold the same piece of land twice. These cunning real estate developers did everything they could to get the land. Our mayor is now stretched to the limit."
"I heard that the mayor is also involved." Schiller asked, "What happened?"
"Oh, maybe you don't know. The state legislature has sent down a mayoral candidate who seems to want to replace Mayor Roy. The election situation is not optimistic."
After several people chased Williams into the woods, Gordon shook his head and said, "Only by cutting open the skin can you see the rotten flesh, but when the wound is exposed to everyone's sight, there will always be people who use this as an excuse to claim that the mayor is incompetent."
Schiller understood after a little thought that Roy did make Gotham a better place, but after Gotham's fundamental problems were solved, more problems were exposed.
In the past, the people of Gotham were worried about public security. Now that public security is better, everyone can live in peace. However, there are still many problems in life, such as transportation, urban construction, and environmental protection...
When the security was bad, no one dared to come. Everyone felt that coming to work in Gotham was tantamount to suicide. But now that the security situation is better, everyone feels that if they come here and do something small to turn the situation around, isn't that another political achievement?
The main reason is that Gotham is a megacity on the East Coast, and its status is similar to that of New York. Needless to say, the importance of the mayor of New York is very high. It is a position that both parties are fighting for, and it is infinitely close to the center of power in the United States.
Schiller can only express respect and blessing for these people. If they can solve Gotham's problems, the United States will not be what it is now.
This Williams seems to be the candidate for mayor, but it is an old tradition that he seeks benefits for himself first when he comes here.
"What are you going to do?" Gordon asked him.
"As long as he doesn't cause me trouble, I don't want to bother with him." The two of them walked back together, and Schiller said, "The procedures he used to buy the land and build the resort should be legal. As long as he can secure the tenants, there's nothing to criticize."
"I think you'd hate people like that."
"I've seen many more bizarre patients than this one, so I can't say I hate him. As I said, as long as he doesn't bother me, I don't care what he wants to do."
Gordon left quickly because he knew that Schiller would not get involved in such things. Schiller was the kind of person who would not care as long as it did not harm him. Gordon's main purpose of coming today was to contact Bruce through Schiller. Only Batman had the ability to make the final decision.
In fact, it was just because the weather was too hot, so Schiller would rather not move. The high temperature made him feel that he was in a bad mental state, so he didn't 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 wanted someone to beat us up!"
"Did you guys beat him to death?"
"Of course not. This is your territory. We can't do anything here." Helen sighed, took a few gulps of ice water, and finally calmed down. "The squirrel girl made him trip, and the fungus man caused his athlete's foot to relapse. That's it."
Schiller smiled and said, "Then he probably won't be feeling well these days. How did you start the conflict?"
"I climbed up the tree at that time, and the old man pointed at my nose and cursed me, calling me a little bastard! He told me to come 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 was indeed wrong for him to curse at others casually, but you also made him fall, so it's even now."
Helen nodded and didn't say much. However, Robert, who came in later, was even angrier than her and started cursing.
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 murder? I meant I wanted to beat him up."
“He’ll call the police,” Schiller said. “He bought the land legally, and you showed up on someone else’s land and beat him up. The police will put you in 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. I might not be able to escape."
"Besides, Matt also said that I shouldn't use my super powers to cause trouble, but I just can't get over it! He even called Helen a wild child!"
Soon the other three members of the New Warriors team came in. Except for Night Thrush, the other two had indignant expressions on their faces.
Schiller remained calm. He said, "It is not illegal for him to buy land and build a resort. It is also a legitimate right to drive you out. But if you illegally invade or even commit violent acts, I will not 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 understand, Professor." Robert groaned. "We won't cause you any trouble."
Then Schiller realized that they really didn't understand what he was saying, so he had to be more straightforward and said, "Of course it's illegal for you to beat him up, so can't you think of a legal way?"
Robert was stunned. Is this what he meant?
Schiller continued, "It is indeed legal for him to buy land and build a house, so is there nothing else he has violated?"
Several people suddenly realized.
Why are there so many stupid kids on Greedy's side? Schiller thought helplessly that although the Robins on his side were noisy, they were still smart and understood everything. He didn't know what was going on with them.
Several people immediately started discussing with great interest. Some said they wanted to check Williams's property, some said they wanted to look at the procedures he used to buy the land, and some said they wanted to find out whether his subordinates had committed any illegal acts.
Helen came up to Schiller and said with a smile, "I knew you wouldn't just stand by and watch, Professor. You'll help me vent my anger, right?"
"What do you want me to do? Throw him into the lake? Let me make it clear first, it's too difficult to dispose of a body in this season. You can do it yourself if you want."
Helen still couldn't get used to the fact that people here took murder and dismemberment so lightly. She had discovered that everyone here regarded murder and dismemberment as the last resort to deal with social problems, which completely replaced the phrase "if it doesn't work, forget it" in the social environment. When people mentioned it, they were unusually calm and creepy.
The people on their side were a bit irritable, but it was just a lot of noise with little action. The people on Gotham were different. Most of them were ruthless and didn't talk much, forcing Helen and the others to control their tempers and learn not to provoke others easily before knowing their background. Otherwise, they would have fought with the man named Williams long ago.
Just like Professor Schiller in front of her, after getting along with him for the past few days, Helen discovered that it was just as Dr. Schiller said, that generally the professor had a good temper, and he would not care at all unless you provoke him.
Even if you offend him, as long as you apologize sincerely, he won't do anything to you. At that time, they were playing with water and mud in the backyard and made a mess of the garden. When Schiller found them, they quickly apologized and cleaned up the mess, but they just got a cold eye in return.
Even an ordinary person would be angry if this happened to him, but Professor Schiller remained very calm.
The same goes for the construction of the resort this time. Although the resort will destroy the beautiful scenery behind the house and occupy the place where Schiller originally used to relax, as long as it makes sense and does not threaten Schiller, he doesn't seem to want to care.
No wonder this universe doesn't develop as fast as theirs, Helen thought, if he were a doctor, he wouldn't be Schiller unless he made a super invincible giant ball of yarn to suffocate Williams and the people behind him.
Schiller doesn't want to intervene, but Helen does. Wanting to build a tree house is one thing, but the old man's attitude is really bad. Even if Iron Man comes, he will have to punch him. If she doesn't teach him a lesson, do you really think that Doomsday has a good temper?
At this moment, Schiller's cell phone rang. He picked it up, raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "You guys are back already? Okay, see you at the old place tonight."
"Who's back?" Helen looked at him and asked.
"Robins, they've returned from your place and said they brought some local specialties. Let's go to Wayne Manor tonight."
Chongqing's summer really left a huge psychological shadow on me
