章 7: Pitting Others-I
At the moment I was sitting on a chair shirtless facing the bed looking at the dark haired beauty sleeping in a sexy white linger-ee peacefully as I sipped some bourbon observing her slight moments as she waked up looking around as her eyes finally landed on mine.
"Good evening my Kitty~" I said teasingly.
"Good evening handsome~" she replied with a wink.
"You know Selina it took my all yesterday to not just devour you and just settle with cuddling so I would appreciate if you could change and we have a party to attend." I said as I walked towards the open shower in the room as I discarded my pajamas.
"Mmm~ I see" said Selina as she kept her eyes on my butt which frankly I enjoyed.
"Yes, we'll be meeting your supposed father" I said stopping at the glass door looking back at her.
"Well, guess it's serious." she said as she followed me inside.

The Falcone Estate
The home to one of the most prominent business family of the City of Gotham. For the common public it represented the residence of one of the rich elite of the city holding as much crime at bay as possible through their sources but for those in the deeper administration of the city knew that this family is the very family for the cause of all the crime in the city.
Right now the Falcone family head, Carmine 'The Roman' Falcone the biggest crime lord of the city has organized a ball party disguised as a charity raiser event but in reality is a meeting between all the top forces of the Gotham underworld who answer to him or are a mere pebble organization for him to toy with.
Outside the mansion you could see lines of car mainly luxurious one going inside under the intense flash of the reporters waiting for a scoop.
"Never had such attention" I asked to the beautiful woman sitting beside me in a satin long bodycon dress fiddling with a eye mask for the party.
"Yeah, first time I will be at the center of it but how did you got the passes." she asked looking towards me.
"Two reasons as a new crime organization in Gotham at least to them and second as the Chairman of the upcoming weapon manufacturing corporation The Astrea Corporation."
"Hmm"
The reason I said 'to them' is because all the money I gain from the underworld is used as a fuel for me legal corporation in the form of investment or the arms procured through it to sell them legally and the rest to absorb as many orphanages and NGO's under me to one protect those innocent souls from corruption and two get a possible loyal workforce for the legal side if they want to of course. I'm not gonna force them but giving subtle suggestions is not something I won't shy from.
Whereas Astrea Corporation is something I set up about two months ago as a way to gain authority and would work on the same working model similar to the Atlas Corporation in COD:AW verse though it would easily take around 5-7 years for me to achieve the same Atlas did in around 13 years. I mean what could be a better authority than being big enough to be granted a UN Council seat as a private organization.
'The world council, the US senate, the A.R.G.U.S, the future JLA and even the future LOV won't know what hit them.' I thought as I looked at all the people outside.

Inside the halls of the Falcone mansion, there were many people from many walks of life from businessmen to hidden syndicate bosses to famous lawyers to celebrities all enjoying a glass of champion as they talked between themselves until they were attracted by the clinking of glasses on top of the stairs, a 6'3 tall half bald old man with a cigar.
*CLINK CLINK
"Attention everyone. I Carmine Falcone today's host would like to welcome and thank everyone present here to be a part of today's charity gala with extending their hands forward for the betterment of the society and it's people and most of all the people of Gotham and lastly I would like to welcome the return of the Son of Gotham, Mr. Bruce Wayne!" he said as he gestured his glass towards a 25 looking 6 ft tall black haired handsome man surrounded by many women who just gave a curt bow in reply.
*CLAP CLAP
"Now I will let you all enjoy the banquet and will proceed with the gala in due time and lastly" he continued as he raise his glass in the air. "FOR GOTHAM!"
"FOR GOTHAM!!!"

"That was an excellent welcoming speech Mr. Falcone." said a short bald spectacled man as he walked beside Carmine raising his glass in a flattering tone.
"Gillian, I have not called you to just lick my butt. What's the status of that abomination, Batman." he replied with a stern look at the GPD Commissioner.
"Don't worry Mr. Falcone. He might even prove to be an asset for us to blame so much on him and get away with it." he said but the expression on Carmine's face was still of indignation and concern.
"Mr. Falcone" they both were though brought out of their talk by the voice of a third party.
"It's good to meet you. I'm Marcus Dwight Astrea, the Chairman of Astrea Corporation." the handsome yet composed man said.
