Chapter 674: Iroh Got A Job
Alexander waited and the next day and appeared near the Mayor of Gotham City's office. Right now, the mayor was Armand Krol, a hard-line politician who wanted to deal with the criminals violently, rather than letting them, waste tax money in prison.
Alexander had signed many big investment deals not long ago, so he was welcomed by the mayor respectfully. A perk Alexander got after investing a hundred billion in the city's infrastructure that mainly involved schools and hospitals.
"Welcome, Mr Universe. You should have told me, we could have met somewhere nicer than this office." Krol said. Although his office wasn't anything less than a 5-star hotel's room, but at least the man was somewhat honest and wanted to rid the city of crimes.
"So, what can I do for you?" he asked.
Alexander started, "Mr Krol, I was reading today's newspaper. I must say, crime is one of the tourist attractions of the city. Why doesn't the police deal with violent criminals with guns?"
*Sigh*
"I have talked about this with Gordan many times before but nothing has come out of it." Krol displeasingly answered.
"But Gordan told me yesterday that he was ready to use force if he was given the orders," Alexander argued.
Krol scoffed, "He's lying. I had this talk with him many times. But he always refused to use hard force. His leniency against using lethal force disgusts me. He talks about so-called principles while fighting against people who follow none. Even that Batman is better, at least he saved my life once. I appreciate him not killing people because he has no right but even after all his work, the police do nothing, and that brings all the progress down to 0."
