Chapter 146 The Waynes want to watch a musical
In the DC Universe, there is no such thing as the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where the key points of the superhero era are clearly defined starting with Iron Man.
Here, thirty years ago, a group of superheroes formed an organization called the "Justice Society" and served as vigilantes around the world. There are also countless super criminals with various superpowers.
Therefore, people in this world are still very receptive to superpowers, and there are always people who use various superpowers to start companies to make money and develop technology.
And because there is no race in DC that is born with superpowers like mutants, the situation of superpowers is still much better than that of Marvel. But it is limited. Everyone at the government level is shouting about beatings, and they have become greedy.
Capitalists are drooling, hoping to turn those with super powers into weapons or batteries that can be used to make money.
Of course Thomas had also come into contact with people with super powers, but he didn't expect that this father and son would be two of them, and they would also directly strengthen their physical abilities.
This gave Thomas a love for talents, especially after he learned from Bruce who threw himself into his arms that the other person was his new friend Carl, who he had been talking about, and his upright father, he felt it directly in his heart.
Passed the character test.
Those rumors are actually true, the other party is really a firefighter with super powers...
Having superpowers, he does not do evil or use it to satisfy his selfish desires. He is not even a vigilante who wanders on the edge of the law, but chooses to be a fire alarm who truly rescues people in dangerous situations.
After Thomas told Bruce yesterday that he would invite him to his home as a guest, he had already thoroughly investigated Chen Guang's movements over the years.
He could easily see that this man was a fire alarm sincerely and enjoyed it. Coupled with the other party's son and the persistence of the past seven years, Thomas was confident that the other party was definitely not pretending to achieve something.
An ulterior secret.
It's just that this man doesn't seem to care much about his solicitation...
That's right, with such ability, being a fire alarm is just to help others. If it's for money, there are many ways to earn it.
So Thomas changed his attitude, and his forehead tilted downward at an imperceptible angle, almost no one could see it.
But his tone was enthusiastic, and he stretched out his hand to Chen Guang and said, "You are Carl's father, right? I often hear Bruce mention his friends. Carl is proud of you."
Chen Guang didn't know Thomas well, but his keen perception allowed him to detect the change in the other party's attitude. He seemed to be more sincere and no longer mixed with obscure high-profile gestures.
So he stood up, shook the other person's hand, and said with a smile: "I should be proud of him for being able to raise a good boy like Carl."
Hearing that his father not only did not blame himself for causing the trouble, but instead said that he was proud of himself in front of outsiders, Carl's timid mood was suddenly swept away. He held his head high, his little face was full of smiles, and his cheeks were flushed.
"Damn freak..."
In the barber shop, Weiss looked at a few people not far away who seemed to be enjoying themselves, his eyes filled with ferocious bloodshot eyes.
But now that he knows that the other party is a super human, he will not act irrationally at this time.
He climbed out of the barber shop, staggered to the side of the road, raised his gun, and stopped a yellow taxi that didn't apply the brakes at all.
"Crunch——!"
The Latino taxi driver stepped on the brakes with fear on his face. His long life in Gotham made him understand that anyone who dares to point a gun at you will definitely dare to shoot. The best coping strategy is to give the other person whatever he wants.
, so there was no risk of stepping on the accelerator.
Weiss got into the back seat directly, grinning in pain, and said coldly: "Go to the nearest hospital, hurry up."
In his heart, Weiss secretly sneered.
It's really a stupid decision to dare to expose your specialness.
Maybe this group of freaks with superpowers are very strong, but they always have weaknesses. Whether it's poison, sniper rifles, or bombs, there's always something that can blast through their skin. This isn't the fucking Middle Ages.
Even if these are useless... what about the people around you? Family and friends of superpowers are not necessarily superpowers!
This is also the reason why those vigilantes in fancy costumes always hid their identities in the past. Those who dared to blatantly use their true identities to do justice are now buried in Gotham Cemetery!
During the entire process of the other party leaving, only Gordon tried to arrest him for shooting, while several other police officers turned a blind eye to this.
However, Gordon only took two steps, then sighed and shook his head.
After all, the other party was knocked out first and then fired. If this is used as an issue in court, it may not necessarily be a good result for the father and son.
Out of respect for Carl's father's character, Gordon hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and reminded him in a low voice: "Be careful of the retaliation of that guy named Wes. He runs a company with more than 120 people, and his name is
It's called 'Greece'. As the name suggests, they are all immigrants from Greece. On the surface, it only owns three bars and a freighter, but in fact it has spread to more than two streets of gray business. It even has guns, which is illegal for me
I don’t know how many he has, but he has a dozen legal gun licenses.”
Chen Guang nodded to Gordon and said with a gentle smile: "Thanks for the reminder, we will be careful."
That being said, in fact, after Chen Guang heard the name Weis, he thought about it, but he really couldn't find the relevant information in his memory.
But it’s not surprising that the main stories of Gotham all take place after Bruce Wayne comes of age, that is, when he is Batman.
In a place like Gotham, gangsters are like leeks, new ones will grow as soon as they are cut. Who knows how many batches of criminals have been updated after Weiss when the main plot is about 20 years away.
Group, it’s Batman’s turn for familiar enemies to appear.
Since he knew that the other party was not a super villain, Chen Guang didn't take it to heart. He only had Karl around him in this world. If the other party could really find a way to deal with Karl, to be honest, he would even want to watch.
Thomas glanced at the young police officer with some surprise and said with a smile: "The information you have is really detailed. May I ask your name?"
Gordon didn't have stage fright either. Although he was young, he didn't think Gotham's richest man was a big shot. He just shook hands with him, then shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "My name is Jim Gordon, I'm just a nobody. What kind of details is this?"
Almost all of it is public information, and I even added my personal conjecture. If the information in my hand was really detailed enough, he would have been arrested long ago."
When the surrounding police officers saw Gordon actually getting involved with Thomas, they all became jealous. After hearing this, they couldn't help but whisper in low voices with mocking expressions.
Gordon didn't care about this, obviously he was used to being isolated in the police station.
As for the Asian bodyguard lying on the road, Gordon called and called an ambulance before he was taken away.
Just when Chen Guang wanted to take Carl away, Gordon stopped them and said helplessly: "Sorry, sir, although I know you were acting in self-defense. But after all, your son injured three people. According to Gotham
According to the police station’s system, although I will not detain a minor, I have to take him to the police station.”
When Karl heard this, he immediately showed a look of fear, obviously still a little afraid of being taken to the police station as a 'prisoner'.
Thomas smiled and said: "Sorry, I would like to invite these two gentlemen to have lunch. Can you be accommodating?"
Gordon naturally shook his head. The richest man's face was not something he could use here.
But Thomas just smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to ask Gordon to wait for a moment, then took out a mobile phone from his arms and dialed a phone number.
Then Thomas smiled and said to the phone: "Hello? Mr. Director? Yes, it's me, Thomas. No, no, no, I have nothing important. It's just that I want to invite two friends to dinner, but they need to go to the police station."
The bureau will make a record..."
"I understand. What I mean is, can you postpone it for a while? Speaking of which, the recent police station equipment seems to be a little behind..."
After a while, Thomas handed the phone to Gordon. Gordon hesitated and took the phone. The content of the call was completely irrelevant to Gordon's words. He could only keep nodding in agreement, and finally had no choice but to say yes.
The other police officers headed home together.
At this time, Thomas invited Chen Guang: "I asked Bruce to invite you and your children to Wayne Manor for dinner, but because of a little accident, why don't we do it in advance?"
Hearing this, Chen Guang lowered his head and looked at Karl. Karl nodded quickly and said, "Yeah, Bruce told me before that he wanted to invite me to his house."
Since it was an invitation that Carl had already agreed to, Chen Guang naturally agreed, and the four of them got into the extended Lincoln driven by Alfred.
After opening the car door, it looks like a small conference room. Four people can sit opposite each other on the sofa without feeling crowded at all.
After closing the car window, the outside sounds instantly fell silent. The car Alfred drove was incredibly smooth. It was like a small room with four screens playing in a backwards environment around it, without any bumps caused by the driving of the vehicle.
feel.
"I wonder where Mr. Sir is employed now?"
In the car, Thomas started talking like a casual chat, while Chen Guang just glanced at the sky, understood the time, and said indifferently: "I just acquired a private fire station yesterday, and I originally planned to renovate the team today.
Eliminate non-compliance. But obviously, I, the boss, was late on the first day."
Thomas was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself, I also purchased a private fire station yesterday, and you are one of the co-authors and bidders with us?
But after hearing this, Thomas also knew that there was no need to mention work anymore, and the fire station he owned was considered free of charge.
Fortunately, it's just a small amount of money. The fire station's business is currently in a slump, so it's not worth much in the first place. It's not as good as more than one-tenth of what I donate every day.
Carl was stunned when he heard Chen Guang's words, and then realized that his father did not go out to find a job yesterday, but went out to buy a company.
The family is indeed not poor! If I had known, I wouldn’t have to frugally use pocket money.

Thomas brought Chen Guang and his son to Wayne Manor. As soon as Bruce arrived home, he immediately took Carl to his bedroom to look at the toys.
Looking at the backs of the two children, Thomas smiled and said: "Karl is a good and upright boy, I can feel it. He has that kind of power, but he never uses it to bully others. He only shows it to his enemies when he maintains your dignity.
Young claws."
He walked to the corner of the living room, opened a bottle of champagne, poured it into two champagne glasses, then turned around and handed one to Chen Guang.
"Tenderness, full of strength, and having one's own beliefs and loves. This is all a strong man needs."
Thomas concluded and raised his hat to Chen Guang: "You educated him very well."
Chen Guang also raised his glass, but shook his head and said: "This has nothing to do with education. Carl is a good boy at heart. Even if he was raised by a foul-mouthed street gangster, or was locked up every day by a group of scientists who didn't treat him as a human being.
In the cage, when he grows up, he will still be a gentle and kind child."
He took a sip, and the champagne bubbles filled his mouth with sweetness. After seven years of training, Chen Guang has become accustomed to enjoying delicious food again.
Thomas smiled and said, "You have great confidence in your child."
