Chapter 1828 - 1236: The Farm of Justice (Eighteen)_2

The consequences of overprotection are not only the child's inability to be independent, but also the parents' hesitation to let go. Thomas did not trust Bruce.

There are parents in this world who spend their entire lives in anxiety, always worrying about their children's well-being, even to the point of their death from their constant efforts for their offspring.

Thomas took a deep breath and forced himself to stand up. He looked at Moray and said, "Take me back to the company. Bring me all the newspapers, political magazines, and news records from the past half year, especially the sections on international affairs and local happenings in Gotham."

Moray quickly carried out his orders. Over the next two days, Thomas began to catch up on the general knowledge of this cosmos; and indeed, there were many aspects of it that went beyond Thomas's understanding.

For instance, that distant major power was still struggling for survival, or America was on the brink of chaos, or Gotham's booming tourism and gaming industries, and most prominently, the heavily dramatized Gotham reconstruction project.

When Thomas stepped out of the car, he instinctively looked up at the appearance of the buildings. If observed from a distance, the renovated buildings wouldn't appear particularly special. At most, one might notice the abundant greenery on the balconies between them – a common sight in many Italian neighborhoods.

However, upon closer examination, he could discern numerous subtleties. First, all of the buildings in the fourth phase of the reconstruction project were interconnected. Many areas that looked like open balconies were enclosed within the architecture, resembling greenhouses made of glass.

The buildings were not exceedingly tall and didn't classify as skyscrapers, but because all of them were linked together, they had another kind of impact, as if they formed a separate world on their own.

The people and the plants living within it seemed so tiny, like residual bits within the mouth of a steel behemoth. They emitted a kind of decadent but ethereal beauty, filled with people's fantasies of the apocalypse.

On a closer look, one could see the high-tech weapons fixed to the walls, the cold lights emitted by patrolling drones, and the dazzling white light produced by the automatically rotating
