“Later, he acted very worried, and his loyal steward found out about it and asked him what had happened.”
Peter said slowly: “This butler once worked as an amateur actor in London and also studied human nature. After listening to my friend’s story, he thought of a way.”
When Bruce heard this, he suddenly felt that the professions of the characters in this story were all so familiar.
“Afterwards, my friend took the housekeeper to find the greedy shopkeeper.”
“He told the shopkeeper he would never give him any money again and the shopkeeper said if he didn’t receive the money he would tell the police about the break-in and theft.”
Peter was silent for a moment and continued: “But my friend told him that he had invited a policeman, so his loyal butler came on stage. The butler disguised himself as a policeman and followed him. in the store.”
“My friend told the butler pretending to be a policeman that the shopkeeper had forged his name on a note and was blackmailing him. He hoped that the police would arrest the shopkeeper and add another one to him. The crime of ripping off customers.”
Hearing this, Bruce had a smile on his face.
“So the shop owner panicked and said that everything was a misunderstanding. He had no intention of going against my friend. He would return all the extorted money. He also handed over the note, and everything ended here.”
After listening to Peter’s story, Bruce fell into deep thought.
After a while, he raised his head and looked at Peter, “Godfather, is this the end of the story?”
“Yes, that’s the end. You can guess, Bruce, who is the friend in the story and who is the butler?”
Bruce, who felt that the story Peter told was strangely familiar, suddenly had a light flash in his mind.
Isn’t that what the godfather should have said?
“That friend of mine is your father, and that butler—is Alfred.”
Before Bruce could tell, Peter revealed the answer to him.
“Is it my father?!”
Bruce was stunned when he heard this.
No wonder I felt that this story had a sense of déjà vu. It turned out to be something that happened to my father.
Is there such an episode in my father’s life?
The story Peter told Bruce was not made up, but was told to him by Alfred.
It’s just that he added some details.
“In the space of just one month, your father committed vandalism, trespassing and theft.”
Peter coughed and said to him: “Then he ignored the law, lied, framed, and even participated in fraud.”
“And all this was to uphold his Hippocratic Oath – an oath made before God, an oath that almost tortured him to death.”
“Bruce.”
Peter turned his attention to Bruce, who was deep in thought, “In this story, tell me who is the good guy and who is the bad guy.”
Bruce didn’t speak. He covered his forehead and fell into deep thought.
“I don’t know.”
Bruce whispered.
Through his father’s story, he seemed to have a completely different understanding of his vows and the meaning of his life in this city.
“Thank you, Godfather.”
After a while, Bruce raised his head and looked at Peter gratefully.
“I always tend to fall into troubles in life. Most of them are caused by me asking for trouble. Thank you, Godfather, for enlightening me.”
“You’re not asking for trouble.”
Peter stood up, patted Bruce on the shoulder and walked out of the Batcave.
“Anyway, it’s best if you think about it.”
Bruce watched Peter’s leaving figure, sat there for a long time, and then stood up from the chair.
After leaving the Batcave, Bruce held the baby girl and returned to the place where Azu picked her up.
At this time, the two women who had lost their children had not yet left.
The figure of Bruce holding the baby appeared in front of the two of them, and they were immediately shocked.
“You are Batman?!”
“Yes, I am Batman, and this is your two child. Tell me, what are you willing to do to get this child?”
Seeing that the baby was lost and found, the thin woman said excitedly: “Anything, anything that needs me to do, I will do it.”
“What about you?”
Bruce turned his attention to the plump woman.
The slightly stout woman also looked excited, “I will do anything for him, even more.”
Bruce stood on the high ground of the ruined building, looking down at the two of them, “Then I judge that you two will jointly take care of this child.”
After hearing that they wanted to take care of each other, the two immediately quit.
“No, I can’t trust her!”
“I can’t trust him either!”
Glancing at the baby girl in his arms, Bruce frowned, “Just now you said you were willing to do anything for this baby!”
“Well, all I ask of ‘anything’ is that you cooperate with each other and for the sake of this child.”
He took a deep breath and looked at the dark night, “Because in this land, this child needs two parents, not just one. When one of you goes to look for food, the other can stay and take care of her. You Do you agree?”
Listening to Batman’s serious words, the two women looked at each other and finally nodded in agreement.
“I do.”
“I do too.”
Bruce nodded, walked down from the ruined building, and said to the two of them: “Now, you put your hand on my arm and swear.”
“Make an oath to me and let God be your witness. If you break your oath, you will perish forever.”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.
After hesitating for a while, the two of them reached out and touched Bruce’s hand.
“I promise to take good care of this baby.”
“I swear so.”
After the two girls finished their vows, Bruce handed the baby girl to one of them, “Take good care of her, and take good care of each other, otherwise you will not survive.”
Glancing at the sleeping baby girl, Bruce turned and left.
“etc!”
Just as Bruce was about to leave, the woman stopped him.
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
“Batman, can you give her a name?”
The thin woman looked at him expectantly.
“Name?”
After lowering his head and thinking for a moment, Bruce said: “Let her last name be Padrick. Let her live with this name. I also hope that she can have that person’s wisdom and love for the world.”
“Whoops!”
Raising his bat cape, Bruce fired the hook gun in his hand, taking himself away from the place and swinging into the air.
“Padrick?”
The two looked at each other.
The thin woman looked at the baby girl in her hand with doting look on her face, “I am Gina, short for Genevieve.”
Another woman with a plump figure said: “I am Katherine Jesse, why don’t we call her Gina Katherine Padrick?”
“Well, that’s a good name. That’s what we call our baby.”
Gina held the baby girl in her arms, looked up in the direction where Batman disappeared, and said, “He may be able to be Batman, but he doesn’t know how to take care of a baby.”
Catherine Jesse echoed from the side, “Yes, I think so too, but… maybe he knows a thing or two about people’s hearts.”
Three days later.
Peter leaves Gotham with his family.
Gotham has been lifted from the blockade, and aid supplies from all walks of life have begun to be delivered to the city.
Although there is still a long way to go before the reconstruction of Gotham, Gotham has already presented a completely different scene from the “hell” at the beginning.
Bruce transformed into Batman to fight criminals. During this period, Azu and others also sent many criminals, such as Penguin and Crocodile Man, Killer Frost and Two-Face to the lunatic asylum.
There were no troublesome forces in the remaining territory, so Peter and his team returned to the farm.
The four Ravens have been on leave at Hogwarts for a long time, and Principal Dumbledore may have been tempted to send him a letter asking about the situation.
Padrick Farm.
Raven, who hadn’t been home for a long time, threw herself on the sofa as soon as she returned to the farm.
“As expected, it’s still best at home.”
Lying on the sofa and squinting her eyes comfortably, she couldn’t help but say.
“You should go to school, Raven.”
Peter looked at his daughter rolling on the sofa and said to her.
“Dad, the environment in Gotham is too depressing. I need to take a good rest at home and let my mood cleanse.”
Raven said she needed to heal.
“And, Dad, I miss you very much. I haven’t seen you for a few days. I want to spend time with you.”
Raven got off the sofa and said seriously.
“Really? What did you experience in Gotham that would make you feel depressed?”
Peter asked her.
“That’s a long story.”
Raven told him what she and Tom had encountered together, about the young man who wanted to be a murderer and went to Blackgate Prison.
After listening to her story, Peter nodded and asked her, “So, do you also think that’s what I want you to see?”
“No!”
Raven shook her head, “Then we went to Robinson Park, which is Poison Ivy’s territory.”
Ruiwen said with complicated emotions: “She made me understand that in an environment without order, there are still good people.”
“She was not keen on expanding her territory like other villains, but turned it into a home for orphans. She adopted a group of children who lost their parents in the earthquake and provided them with food, clothing and shelter.”
“Dad, you said she was a villain. You had put her in jail before, but in that environment, she became a good person.”
Listening to Raven’s words, Peter nodded and said: “Yes, she may have been a bad person before, but there, her nature as a woman overwhelmed her environmentalism. At this moment, she is the de facto mother of these children, and Not ‘poison ivy’.”
Peter was still saying something else when he heard a voice behind him.
“Dad, there’s a bit of trouble.”
