Another example is the Falcone family, who had once received help from Thomas Wayne, were secretly suppressing various factions, ensuring that external factors did not impact the already crumbling Wayne Enterprises, even though Reid hadn't sought their assistance.
"System, these people have their own lives. What use am I here? Can't you make the villains and criminals in Gotham listen to me?"
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. Reid, feeling exasperated, finally began to complain to his irresponsible system.
[Host, the system has already pushed the boundaries by seamlessly integrating everything in Gotham City from the DC Universe into the Marvel Universe. If the control over these people were handed to you, I'm sure you wouldn't want to wake up the next day to face the Cosmic beings and the Living Tribunal of the Marvel Universe.]
"But..."
Reid was momentarily taken aback by the system's reply. He wasn't sure whether to call the system honest or useless.
If he were to call it useless, at least it had honestly admitted to its limitations. But if he were to call it honest, its functionality seemed too underwhelming.
If the system had given him a Superman card at the start, Reid would have taken back his criticism of its uselessness.
However, after hearing the system's explanation, Reid decided to let go of that thought. After all, Gotham was the only one of its kind in the DC universe. Future environment cards shouldn't be as troublesome.
"Now, I can only see if the executives of the company are willing to make concessions."
In just a day, Reid had already received numerous messages from Earle, the executive at Wayne Enterprises. The content was simple: an invitation for him, the butler in charge of the largest shares of Wayne Enterprises, to attend a meeting at the company.
Driving the spare car from Wayne Manor, Reid headed toward Wayne Tower. Soon, he was seated in a conference room, facing Earle and a number of other executives.
According to the information provided by the system, Reid knew that these were the people who were aggressively pushing for Wayne Enterprises to go public. As long as Bruce Wayne, the heir of the Wayne family, was absent, they had the right to make major decisions for the company based on the shares they held.
"Alfred, the loyal butler of the Wayne family, you've finally come."
Upon seeing Reid's arrival, Earle's face was filled with a joyful smile. Although as long as they remained steadfast in their plan, Alfred's control over the majority of Wayne Enterprises' shares would not be enough to stop their decision.
However, if they could get this old man to relent and agree to release the majority of the Wayne family's shares, once the company went public, they would definitely make a huge profit.
"Mr. Earle, if there's something you need, just say it. The manor still needs cleaning, and I have work to get back to."
Reid's behavior and mannerisms were entirely in line with Alfred's character setting.
A gentleman, the epitome of elegance, every move and gesture reflected aristocratic social etiquette. At the same time, his attitude towards Earle and others who posed a threat to the Wayne family was icy and indifferent.
The immersion level slowly began to rise, reaching 25% in just a moment, but the rate of increase slowed significantly.
