Nobody can stop me from drawing cards in Gotham!

Chapter 103 is terrifying, you law students!

It must be said that although the mayor's secretary who planned the assassination at the banquet has been caught in disgrace and left the scene with regret.

But the impact he had on this dinner party still lingers...

After all, no one wants to hold a banquet in a place where someone has just died.

Even in Gotham, a place where people might think there's a daily death KPI and you see corpses every day, someone dying at a dinner party would spoil the mood for all the guests.

Moreover, with the mayor's secretary carrying out an assassination attempt as a precedent, perhaps someone will be inspired to plan how to send their business rivals/political enemies/nemesis to hell to meet Satan...

Considering this is Gotham, this is not an exaggeration.

Moreover, most of those present were quite self-aware of their own character and the kinds of people they had offended in the past.

So much so that now, standing here, I always get a chill down my spine...

As a result, many guests couldn't help but think about leaving, and the banquet definitely couldn't continue.

Wayne Group could only regretfully state that any projects and plans that have not yet been announced will be released at a better time at a later date.

These words, when they reached Jaeger's ears, actually cheered him up.

Could it be... that there will be a similar occasion next time?

Doesn't that mean that, just like tonight, there might be other event cards that you can exploit?

By the way, speaking of which, Bruce Wayne was also present during the "Bloody Bat" event card that was triggered last time...

Could it be that Bruce Wayne and the Wayne Enterprises behind him are actually a potential event card attractor?

Jaeger stroked his chin, lost in thought, and realized that his idea actually made some sense.

...Forget about all that nonsense, I have important things to do.

Jaeger then stood up from the table, his gaze sweeping across the remaining crowd in the banquet hall, finally settling on one person.

……

……

When Jaeger found Harvey Dent, the new prosecutor and one of the initiators of the Arkham Reconstruction Project, the handsome young man was frowning and talking to a Gotham Police Department officer.

In the few words they spoke, Jaeger could only vaguely hear them talking about the assassination case at the banquet just now, occasionally throwing in a few criminal investigation or legal terms that Jaeger didn't quite understand.

At the same time, Jaeger also noticed a strange detail.

That's Prosecutor Harvey... For some reason, he always speaks with one hand in his pocket and half of his coat pulled up.

At first glance, Harvey seems to simply want to strike a stylish pose.

Upon closer inspection, Jaeger noticed that the other person's hand in his pocket was not relaxed, but rather clenched into a fist.

It was like... he was always holding something in his pocket.

Jaeger couldn't help but wonder what it was that Harvey was holding onto so tightly, as if afraid of dropping it.

It can't be the prosecutor's badge that you can show off whenever you want, can it?

But that's Japan. The US local prosecutor's office and the Japanese public prosecutor's office system seem to be quite different. I wonder if they have something like a prosecutor's badge.

At this moment, Harvey finally noticed Jaeger standing to the side.

He paused for a moment, then quickly ended his conversation with the police officer and turned to Jaeger: "Hello, may I ask who you are...?"

"I've heard so much about you, Prosecutor Dent." Jaeger shook hands with Harvey. "You can just call me Winchester."

"Winchester...Winchester?" A hint of surprise flashed in Harvey's eyes. "I've heard your name from Jim."

"Jim?" Jaeger was taken aback for a moment before realizing that Jim seemed to be James's nickname...

Therefore, the Jim that Harvey mentioned should refer to James Gordon.

"Chief Gordon actually mentioned me?" Jaeger asked in surprise.

"The first case I handled as a prosecutor was a counterfeit murder case," Harvey explained. "And you seem to have played an important role in solving that case as well."

"...I see." Jaeger nodded. "Director Gordon is too kind. I didn't actually do anything special."

Harvey raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "Leaving aside Commissioner Gordon's assessment for now, I've heard from some GCPD officers that... you and Batman actually solved that case together?"

Just as Jaeger was about to answer, he suddenly realized something.

—Wait a minute, wasn't he supposed to be asking Harvey Dent questions? How did it turn into Harvey asking him questions instead?

Could it be that the prosecutor's silver tongue, honed through daily verbal battles with defense lawyers in court, has finally come into play?

...In any case, I was almost led astray by Harvey and forgot my original purpose.

So Jaeger, about to speak, suddenly changed the subject: "Hmm? Prosecutor Dent, I came to see you actually about something else."

"But if you're really interested in this..." Jaeger pulled out his phone, looking serious, "How about adding Pingo?"

Seeing that Jaeger wasn't interested in bringing up his relationship with Batman, Harvey could only manage a smile: "Okay, no problem."

The two of them inexplicably started following each other on social media.

I wonder what the other person will think when they browse through their own homepage and find a bunch of photos of Burks.

Anyway, Jaeger glanced at Harvey's homepage, only to be met with a bunch of political and legal-related tweets that were utterly unappealing to read...

That's terrifying, you guys who study law.

"Alright, so... what exactly do you want from me, Detective?" Harvey put away his phone. "Is it some legal advice you need?"

"If you're asking this, I have to say that Batman has violated at least dozens of state and local laws, or national laws..."

"No, no, no," Jaeger quickly interrupted Harvey's spellcasting. "I'm not here to ask if Batman is a lawbreaker. I'm here to inquire about a project collaboration for my friend."

"A consulting project?" Harvey finally seemed a little surprised. "You mean—the Arkham redevelopment plan?"

"Yes, he's very interested in this." Jaeger pulled out a business card. "This is his contact information. Due to some special reasons, he asked me to tell you."

"If Prosecutor Dent is also willing to cooperate with the Parrels Group, he can send an email to their official email address."

Harvey instinctively took the business card Jaeger handed him, his eyes scanning it—Landon Parrels, Chairman of the Parrels Group.

...It turns out to be that walking rumor-mongering machine, and the rumors about him are getting more and more outrageous?

Why would he be interested in the Arkham redevelopment plan?

Of course, it's a good thing if someone is willing to cooperate and invest.

However, there was one thing Harvey didn't quite understand.

"Why would they send you to find me in their place?" Harvey asked, puzzled. "What could be the reason? Has something suddenly happened to Mr. Parrels?"

"No, not at all," Jaeger said sincerely. "It's just that he's socially awkward and embarrassed to talk to you alone."

Harvey: "..."

It seems I have indeed heard some of the eerie social anxiety stories about Langdon Parrels...

It was unexpected that the socially awkward Chairman Langdon was actually friends with Detective Jaeger, who was suspected of having worked with Batman...

Harvey was quite interested in this, but he didn't ask directly.

After all, just like with the Batman thing just now, the other party most likely won't give a direct answer.

However, considering that this is a public place, it is understandable that the other party does not want to talk.

But it doesn't matter, since we just exchanged social media accounts. I can ask again when I have time, Harvey thought.

With this in mind, Harvey and Jaeger, each with their own thoughts, simultaneously put on polite social smiles.

—However, just as the conversation ended, Jaeger's eyes suddenly flickered.

Just because a few lines of text flashed before his eyes:

[A new achievement has been unlocked!]

[Achievement Completed - "Knight of Light"]

[Unlock condition: First encounter with "Harvey Dent"]

[PS: Harvey Dent, the newly appointed District Attorney, a righteous knight-errant dedicated to changing Gotham City with the law, has arrived!]

However, it is important to be wary that after excessively bright light, there is often an ever-present dark reflection... After all, nothing in this world is truly absolute.

Like a tossed coin, two completely opposite sides—yet both exist on one object.
