Another example is the Fale family, who had once received help from Thomas Wayne, were secretly suppressing various fas, ensuring that external factors did not impact the already crumbling Wayerprises, even though Reid hadn't sought their assistance.

  "System, these people have their own lives. What use am I here? 't you make the vilins and criminals in Gotham listen to me?"

  The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. Reid, feeling exasperated, finally began to pin to his irresponsible system.

  [Host, the system has already pushed the boundaries by seamlessly iing everything in Gotham City from the Dbsp;Universe into the Marvel Universe. If the trol over these people were hao you, I'm sure you wouldn't want to wake up the day to face the ic 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 ho or useless.

  If he were to call it useless, at least it had holy admitted to its limitations. But if he were to call it ho, its funality 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 expnation, Reid decided to let go of that thought. After all, Gotham was the only one of its kind in the Diverse. Future enviro cards shouldn't be as troublesome.

  "Now, I only see if the executives of the pany are willing to make cessions."

  In just a day, Reid had already received numerous messages from Earle, the executive at Wayerprises. The tent was simple: an invitation for him, the butler in charge of the rgest shares of Wayerprises, to attend a meeting at the pany.

  Driving the spare car from Wayne Manor, Reid headed toward Wayower. Soon, he was seated in a feren, fag Earle and a number of other executives.

  Acc to the information provided by the system, Reid khat these were the people whgressively pushing for Wayerprises to go public. As long as Bruce Wayhe heir of the Wayne family, was absent, they had the right to make major decisions for the pany based on the shares they held.

  "Alfred, the loyal butler of the Wayne family, you've finally e."

  Upon seeing Reid's arrival, Earle's face was filled with a joyful smile. Although as long as they remaieadfast in their pn, Alfred's trol over the majority of Wayerprises' 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, ohe pa public, they would definitely make a huge profit.

  "Mr. Earle, if there's something you need, just say it. The manor still needs ing, and I have work to get back to."

  Reid's behavior and mannerisms were entirely in lih Alfred's character setting.

  A gentleman, the epitome of elegance, every move aure reflected aristocratic social etiquette. At the same time, his attitude towards Earle and others who posed a threat to the Wayne family was id indifferent.

  The immersion level slowly began to rise, reag 25% in just a moment, but the rate of increase slowed signifitly.

  Clearly, as the immersion level increased, simple role-pying as no longer tributed much to its improvement. To make further progress, he would o take as that were even more in lih his character.

  "Haha!"

  Hearing Reid's sharp remark, Earle's brow twitched, but he didn't immediately snap. Instead, he feigned a warm demeanor aured for Reid to take a seat.

  "Alfred, you truly are a loyal butler to the Wayne family, but there are things we must face, aren't there?"

  Seeing no ge in Reid's expression, Earle tinued.

  "The young Master Wayne has been missing for some time. Although it's heartbreaking, we must accept the possibility..."

  Before Earle could finish, Reid immediately interrupted.

  "Mr. Earle, you also know this is merely a possibility, and there is no evideo prove that Master Wayne is dead. There's o say anything further."

  Once again interrupted, Earle's temper was clearly reag its breaking point. His tone was no le instead dired sharp.

  "Yes, perhaps young Master Wayne is indeed dead, or simply missing, but what about Wayerprises? Are you suggesting that all these people should lose their jobs because of his disappearance? You, Alfred, know better than anyone how important Wayerprises is to Gotham. If you are truly loyal to the Wayne family, you shouldn't let the paeriorate like this."

  Undoubtedly, Reid had to admit that Earl made a valid point.

  Although Wayerprises wasn't publicly listed and wouldn't suffer an immediate impa its stock value due to Bruce Wayne's disappeara was still the disappearance of the leader.

  A pany, when deprived of its leader, would iably start to dee.

  This was something Reid couldn't allow. Wayerprises was now his stronghold, and even without Alfred's role, he had to ehe pa moving forward.

  Seeing Reid remain silent, Earle's tone became even more arrogant. He no lotempted to mask his iions with fttering words.

  "Alfred, I hope you reize the current situation. Going public with Wayerprises is good for everyone. Even though the Wayne family's position in the pany may diminish, once your young master returns, at least you'll be able to hand him an even bigger Wayerprises. You 't stop this. I hope, after sidering it carefully, you will allow us to take the Wayne family's shares and develop Wayerprises together."

  After speaking, Earle left with his supporters, leaving Reid alone in the meeting room.

  After a long while, Reid slowly stood up a, driving toward Wayne Manor.

  As he passed over Thomas Bridge, Reid let out a sigh.

  "Mixed feelings, I suppose..."

  The good news was that Alfred's role-pying progress had risen to 30% due to his persisten the meeting room. The bad news, however, was that he still hadn't found a way to stabilize Wayerprises.

  If he were pying as Bruce Wayne, he might not refuse to let the pany go public, because as Earle had pointed out, there were many bes to that for Wayerprises.

  But since he ying as Alfred, once Wayerprises went public, his mission to preserve the pany would definitely fail.

  If the mission failed, he wouldn't be able to get a new role card. Would he really have tle to survive in the Marvel world with Alfred, a low-tier card?

  He wouldn't even know when he might be repced by a Skrull.

  Thinking of this, Reid decided to keep fighting. He turhe car around and headed toward the Fale family building in Gotham's criminal underworld.
