Gotham.
An airline formed through a partnership between Wayne Enterprises and Ferris Aviation, named after Gotham, is simply called Gotham Airlines, and it is also Gotham's largest airline.
A private luxury passenger plane is parked silently on the tarmac, waiting for its owner.
Ba Di led Alfred through a private passageway into the passenger plane. As Ba Di settled into the soft sofa and leaned back, the plane slowly took off, heading towards Washington.
Ba Di did not bring his five million bodyguards— Death Knell.
Calling him a bodyguard is a joke. With Death Knell's abilities, he could systematically take down the Justice League, demonstrating strategic acumen comparable to Batman's. Using him as a bodyguard would be a waste.
Ba Di directly sent him to deal with the evils of Gotham. Some of the more difficult ones, such as Bane, Penguin, Black Mask, Scarecrow, etc., were all planned out by Ba Di and Death Knell was sent to carry them out.
The other mercenaries, in coordination with the Court of Owls, which was already under Nightwing's control, were tasked with arresting and apprehending all those involved in Gotham's underworld, human trafficking, organ dealing, drug trafficking, and other illegal activities, awaiting Ba Di's return to deal with them.
The actions and crimes of these dark forces have been thoroughly investigated by Ba Di, who has outlined all the plans and ordered all mercenaries to carry out the operation to capture and control them.
If we follow our plan, we can easily wipe out all the darkness and evil in Gotham in a single day.
But that's just treating the symptoms, not the root cause. Gotham's evil is like weeds—it can't be burned out, it just keeps growing back with the spring breeze.
Ultimately, both the environment and material resources are indispensable.
Ba Di gently swirled his wine glass, reclining in his comfortable seat. Through the window, he saw Gotham receding into the distance, a small, desolate landscape that evoked a sense of melancholy. His eyes flickered slightly as he pondered among the clouds above Gotham.
Gotham's high crime rate is difficult to pinpoint the exact reasons, but external factors play a significant role.
On a day when the sky is overcast and gloomy at night, the strange Gothic architecture does not bring many colorful elements, but instead adds a sense of eeriness and fear. Under such an external environment, everyone would feel depressed and crazy.
"The next step should be a complete overhaul of Gotham's environment, sky, and buildings."
Ba Di had a complete plan in mind.
Transforming Gotham, the City of Light would not be difficult. Even in terms of the weather and external environment, with the financial backing of a large corporation like Wayne Enterprises, plus all the technological creations that Ba Di knows, he has at least a dozen ways to change Gotham.
Ba Di chose the quickest method.
Cooperate with the government.
While Ba Di was deep in thought, the luxury jet had already quietly landed on the secret helipad of the White House.
The U.S. President's Cabinet Secretary, a well-dressed, slender, and gentle-looking middle-aged white man, came to greet Ba Di.
"Mr. Wayne, the President and Congressmen, several generals have been waiting for a long time!"
"It's my pleasure, please lead the way."
Ba Di reached out his hand, Ba Di the Secretary of State led the way, passing through the president's private Rose Garden, to the Oval Office in the White House, the office of the highest leader.
There were already four Army generals, the U.S. President and his cabinet members, members of Congress who had received more than ten million dollars from Ba Di, and more than thirty people in total crammed into this not-so-spacious office, all looking at Ba Di.
"Everyone, thank you for waiting."
With a smile, Ba Di bowed slightly and said.
Alfred began distributing a copy of the plan to everyone, carrying documents with him.
"Mr. Wayne, the combined power here is enough to turn Gotham upside down."
"I hope you're not making any more Batman jokes."
"If it's just to clarify your Batman joke, then we don't need to be here."
"Wayne Enterprises has only promised to let us see you once, so please be prepared with your words."
Several councilors, their expressions cold and slightly disapproving, criticized Batman's joke. What kind of Playboy was trying to pull off superhero stuff? He'd gone too far, and now he was here trying to resolve things? It wasn't that simple. One wrong move, and this place would become the scene of Wayne Enterprises being divided up.
"Mr. Wayne, please begin. I hope this will be as you say," the U.S. President interrupted some members of Congress, nodding in acknowledgment.
Ba Di's gaze swept over the hopping mice, and his smiling eyes met those of the U.S. President. He had already spoken with the U.S. President beforehand and had some understanding of the situation.
Then, with a 'snap', Ba Di snapped his fingers.
As the lights dimmed, Alfred placed the projector he had brought on the table and began playing a projection in the dimly Oval Office.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I've named this plan the ' Gotham Project.' We anticipate transforming Gotham within six months."
"Of course, this is just my personal wish for a better transformation of my hometown."
"And for everyone here, this should be the ' Super Hero Control Project '!"
At this moment, images of superheroes gradually flashed across the projection screen: The Flash, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Superman, Shazam, Green Arrow... Many superheroes, though called superheroes, could become criminals if they made a single wrong step.
Even now, these heroes cloaked in hidden armor are still a major headache for law enforcement and the FBI, who are eager to capture them.
However, for a freak who can fly, run at speeds many times faster than the sound, has a Body of Steel, and can crush diamonds with his bare hands, the United States Anti-Terrorism Unit are really just delivering food to his door.
"Can you provide us with their information?"
"The head of the Anti-Terrorism Unit asked."
"No, I don't know their information."
Of course, Ba Di knew this, but there was no need to provide it. He was just worried that many Superman, saintly figures would get in his way, so he was just putting up a small insurance policy. This wasn't even Ba Di's main plan; it was just to give them some trouble and make it easier to carry out his own plan.
"What else is there to say? This is a matter of local security. I highly doubt why this strange meeting was convened."
"Let's get straight to the point, Mr. Wayne, we're very busy."
"Nonsense."
"The FBI is gathering evidence against you, Mr. Wayne. Please watch your words."
Ba Di smiled faintly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. The U.S. President sat calmly, while Sam Lane looked at him with a stern look in his eyes. Some of the bribed and controlled senators voiced their dissent.
As for those who are making a fuss, they are merely supporting actors playing the good cop.
"I hope the government will issue a statement."
"In the days to come, let Batman become the hero of Gotham, a hero who represents justice, law, and the elimination of evil."
"The statement says that Batman is a superhero project that I and the government are working on to change Sin City."
