I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

“I think I understand now. When the gangsters in Gotham have legitimate jobs, the city’s safety will naturally improve.”

"But where am I supposed to find decent jobs for these people?"

Depp said, "It's simple. You'll have many nightclubs, bars, dance halls, and other entertainment venues, all of which will need manpower. In addition, my toy factory can also accommodate some people; they just need to seize the opportunity to join the factory."

Odwald suddenly understood, but then a new question arose: "But how can I become the underground king of Gotham?"

"That's up to you, but I can give you a piece of information. Ever since the number of freaks and supervillains in this city has increased and gradually slipped out of Falcone's control, he's been thinking about retiring. That's why Falcone didn't take over the East District immediately."

Depp believed that with Oswald's abilities, he could easily become a mere underworld king if he wanted to.

All Depp needed to do was provide the confused Oswald with a goal and direction.

Oswald said, "I think I understand. Thank you very much, Mr. Depp. By the way, what's the next step after this?"

At this moment, Oswald was as respectful as Gordon's student.

Depp said, "It's not time yet. I'll tell you what to do next when you've truly become the king of Gotham's underworld."

"Okay, Mr. Depp, thank you for your guidance."

After hanging up the phone, Oswald, now with ambitious goals, was full of energy, a stark contrast to his previous gloom.

Oswald thought Depp was absolutely right!

As the only descendant of the Corbert family, how could he be content to be a lowly gang leader living under someone else's roof?

I was truly blinded by greed back then.

I!

Oswald Cobert,

You must become a great person who can change Gotham, make Gotham a better place, and be respected and remembered by everyone!

It is my duty, Oswald, to restore the glory of the Corbert family!

He even felt that Mr. Depp was definitely an angel sent by God to guide him.

Mr. Depp appeared suddenly when he was most confused and lost, and gave new hope to his life, which had long been mired in difficulties.

Oswald has decided that Mr. Depp, his mentor, will always be his friend, his only friend!

Thinking of this, he immediately called several guys who were just as unhappy as he was. Most of these guys were former fringe members of the Maroni family gang.

Because he was not taken seriously by Maroni, he was less involved in the case and was released early.

These guys are even worse off after joining the Falcone family than before.

Oswald felt that although these guys were bastards, he had no choice but to use them for the time being.

In Depp's antique shop, a clean and tidy Grandi is wiping down each item. Under Depp's careful tutelage, this guy has developed a slight obsession with cleanliness.

Although Grandi is a bit simple-minded, as long as he's fed, he'll be more diligent than anyone else.

And because of his terrifying appearance, no criminal has dared to come to Depp's Antique Shop since Grandy arrived.

Even fewer people are haggling over prices.

Grandy carefully wiped a porcelain bottle, glanced back at Depp and Bruce who were chatting, and shook his head.

“What they were saying was too obscure; Grandi couldn’t understand it at all.”

At the front desk, Bruce looked at the tea leaves in his cup and said, "That's right, you have no idea how tired I am every day! Gordon and Harvey are the ones who clean up the mess, and although Iron Fist and Catwoman don't need appearance fees anymore, those two often refuse to take action. They don't listen to my orders at all!"

"And you, Depp! You refuse to join the Justice League, you won't even lend me a hand!"

While scratching Bruce's chin, Depp said, "Seriously Bruce, you should find a partner, someone who can be with you anytime, anywhere."

He looked at Titus, the bat-dog lying on the ground, and added, "A companion who can communicate with you in human language, preferably... the kind of companion that can make up for the lack of your youthful spirit."

Bruce patted Titus's head as it stood up in protest, trying to calm it down so it wouldn't get another beating from Depp's black and white cat.

"You're right, I'll consider your suggestion."

Bruce looked at the cow-patterned cat, punched his dog, and then said.

Chapter 93 New Battle Suit

This wasn't the first time Titus had been beaten up by Gou Dan'er.

Almost every time Bruce brings Titus to Depp's antique shop, Titus gets pinned to the ground and beaten up by the black and white cat.

All you could see was Gou Dan'er pressing one paw against Titus's nose, while the other paw kept waving around, its cute little paws slapping Titus's face repeatedly, making a slapping sound.

The dog was now in despair. It had gone through countless days of arduous training to develop its current skills.

But ever since I met this incredibly strong cow cat, and got cornered and beaten up.

It realized that the physical condition of pets cannot be generalized, and it even doubted that even if it wore the same gear it used when it was on the move, it might not be able to beat this cow cat.

So now, even if Titus is being beaten to the ground by Gou Dan'er, he's too lazy to fight back. Fighting back would only result in a worse beating!

Depp picked up the dog that was committing the crime, and the cute cow cat obediently lay in Depp's arms, looking smugly at Titus who was still lying on the ground.

What kind of bad intentions could a kitten possibly have?

I was just giving the puppy a massage.

Depp, holding the cat, said, "Actually, I've always been curious. Your clothes clearly didn't cover your chin, but when you became invisible, why did your chin also become invisible, instead of floating in the air?"

Bruce touched his watch and said, "According to Lucius, it used a special refraction technology that he and Iron Fist researched together."

Depp feigned surprise and said, "I see. It seems your technical advisors are very capable."

“That’s true,” Bruce said. “Would you like me to introduce you? Both Lucius and Iron Fist are very capable, and I think you two would definitely get along well.”

Depp immediately refused, saying, "Come on, I'm not interested unless they cooperate with me to take a swimsuit photoshoot and update the toy factory's database."

Bruce had lost count of how many times Depp had brushed him off; he always felt helpless when facing Depp.

Thinking of the Gotham Knights' mission, Depp's expression changed, and he asked seriously, "Bruce, what are you fighting for now?"

Bruce was taken aback and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

If he had just returned to Gotham, he would definitely say that he was fighting for justice and revenge.

But now...

Depp continued, "Is it for revenge? Or... to protect?"

Bruce pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "If this were our first meeting, I would have told you I was fighting for revenge and justice. But now..."

“You don’t need to answer me, Bruce. That’s something you need to think about yourself.”

"If you are still fighting for revenge, then remember not to let the rage of hatred blind you."

Bruce picked up the dog leash, stood up, and said, "It's getting late, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

Depp stood up to see him off, saying, "Go, Bruce, but I must remind you that if you are fighting to protect those around you, you must be even more ruthless to your enemies so that they will be wary and dare not harm those around you."

"Is it even harsher...?"

Bruce Whisperer left the antique shop.

After seeing Bruce off, Depp returned to the back room of the antique shop and focused his attention on the box containing vibranium.

Depp had already used a tiny piece of vibranium, about the size of a fingernail, from the box; this small piece was used for preliminary experiments in making the armor.

Depp, wearing the vibranium suit, entered the research base in the wilderness and took out the vibranium from the case.

He first used a special cutting knife to cut a small piece of vibranium, and then used the remaining vibranium to make armor.

The roar of machines and instruments in the research base led Lucius to believe that a gunfight had taken place there.

There was no other way; vibranium was much tougher than any of the previous materials, so cutting and making the armor caused a great deal of noise.

A few days later, the vibranium version of the Catwoman nanosuit was completed.

In addition to the functions and transformation capabilities of the previous suit, the nanosuit made of vibranium has even stronger defensive capabilities and perfectly replicates the Black Panther suit's ability to absorb kinetic energy and convert it into shockwaves.

Compared to Tony's Mark armor, Selena, who is used to close combat and hand-to-hand combat, is indeed more suited to the Black Panther suit.

Because the materials were so limited, Depp did not share the vibranium with Bruce and the others.

With the remaining small piece, Depp decided to make himself a nanoweapon that could transform at will.

That evening, Depp handed Selena the black, leg-ring-shaped nanotech armor in her bedroom.

“Honey, this is a gift for you that I haven’t been able to spend with you for a while.”

Selena took the leg ring and immediately tied it to her leg. With a mischievous grin, she hooked Depp's chin and said, "You little pervert, you actually like this."

Depp blushed slightly and explained, "Um... this is actually a new suit, already bound to your fingerprint. You just need to press the side of the leg ring."

Battle suit?

Selena was puzzled; she couldn't connect the tiny leg ring with the battle suit at all.

Is this what your husband calls his new romantic gestures?

Selena pressed the side of the leg ring with a puzzled look. The next moment, the nano armor quickly unfolded around the leg ring and enveloped Selena.

Her original clothes were also torn to shreds by the unfolded battle suit and fell to the ground.

Compared to the previous version of the Catwoman suit, the vibranium-made nanosuit has a stronger metallic texture.

As before, the outfits accentuated Selena's already flawless figure even more perfectly.

Seeing that the leg rings had actually transformed into battle armor, Selena covered her mouth with her hands and exclaimed in amazement, "My God, it really is battle armor! This is amazing!"

Depp, with a smile, approached Selena and carried her to the bed.

Then, Depp's hand swam down to Selena's thigh and pressed on the fingerprint recognition device, and the suit transformed back into a leg ring.

He also registered his fingerprints into the suit's recognition system.

"Don't rush, darling, there's something even more amazing!"

Somewhere in Gotham, a circus, the Grayson family, known as the "Flying Graysons," is performing their signature act... trapeze.

The Graysons affectionately ruffled their son's hair and said, "Don't worry, those guys won't do anything to us."

He thought his parents looked absolutely amazing today!

Even when faced with armed gangsters, they and the circus ringmaster remained neither humble nor arrogant, and did not back down at all.
