Chapter 124 24. The Red Ghost 【23/100】

Reception, this is a way of communication in the upper class. In many cases, dignitaries need to put serious matters on less serious occasions to reach an agreement. Compared with the first occasion, the second one is more casual.

Of course, it is impossible for any reception to be purely for entertainment. You have to admit that people in the upper class have a purpose in everything they do.

For example, the reception held at the Wayne Building tonight is for Gotham's rising star of tomorrow, Harvey Dent, the bright knight who brings hope. Bruce Wayne, the true son of Gotham, wants to Harvey raises a sum to support Harvey's "No Bail Bill," which is set up solely for Gotham's gang-ridden environment.

According to Harvey's vision, in this city infested by conservative gangsters, once a crime is found and reaches a certain limit, criminals will not be entitled to bail within 5 years. Obviously, if this bill is passed If the state court passes it, Gotham's law and order environment will immediately rise to a higher level.

But in this country, the progress of anything is inseparable from money, so although Harvey Dent doesn't like this kind of occasion, he has to come to recruit enough funds for the advancement of the "Dant Act" , At this point, he is extremely grateful to Bruce Wayne, the famous playboy in Gotham and the world-famous rich man.

But what worries Harvey is the relationship between Rachel Dawes and Bruce Wayne that he is pursuing. For Bruce Wayne, Rachel has a special feeling, which Harvey has always known, even though she expressed It's very close, but obviously, in Rachel's heart, Bruce Wayne is not a dispensable person.

This is also the reason why Harvey has been pursuing him for a year, but he has not been favored by Rachel, but things are not without progress. They have dated several times recently, and it can be seen that Rachel has begun to accept him.

This is a good thing, coupled with the recent arrest of gangsters, Harvey has been in a good mood.

"I said, probably in the future I will often participate in this kind of activities."

With the help of Alfred, Bruce Wayne is picking clothes for tonight's reception. He said to the old butler with a smile,

"Harvey is doing a good job. Once his bill is passed, I can "free" and live my own life."

There was a sense of helplessness on his face, "I really don't like the life of a playboy."

Alfred also smiled, "Of course, I have been looking forward to this day, you see, master, I am very old, and now I desperately hope that I can retire, and then move to Italy or Rome, enjoy Take a look at the life that an old man should have, and you can also learn how to manage a company with Lucius, after all, Wayne Industries is your family business."

"Ah, please forgive me, old Fu, if that happens, I will go crazy."

He smiled, "By the way, how is the decoration in my hometown?"

Alfred thought for a while, "It will take about 3-4 months. You know, Wayne Castle is a large building, and it is not so easy to repair. Why, don't you like life in Wayne Mansion?"

"I can't say whether I like it or not..."

Bruce stood on the edge of the 25th floor of the Wayne Building, looking at the brightly lit city below, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, with a hint of expectation,

"I just wonder if my wedding with Rachel can be held in Wayne Castle, so that the ancestors of the Wayne family can see their descendants get married, and continue the history of the Wayne family, Ah Fu...I think it's time for me Freed from another life."

"Gotham already has a hero in the light, a brave man who can protect the city without wearing a mask, the righteous, Harvey Dent, people love him, call him the knight of light, He legalized everything that I couldn't, so let Batman be history, it doesn't bring hope, Harvey does."

A trace of worry flashed across the face of the old butler, fiddling with the bow tie in his hand, and said in a low voice,

"But Rachel has gotten very close to Harvey lately..."

Bruce turned his head with a smile, he patted the shoulder of the remaining family members, smiled gently,

"What's the matter, Ah Fu, are you worried that Rachel will be cheated by Harvey? Are you so unconfident in my charm? I made an agreement with her. After I finish becoming Bruce Wayne, we will have A good time...in the name of husband and wife."

"Hey, you young people, you can solve it yourself."

Afu smiled and tied the bow tie for Bruce, then moved his shoulders and said in a low voice,

"I'll take a look over there. Lucius is there today to help you upgrade the data of that detector. I will come back with him. Before I come back, you have to organize this reception."

"No?"

Bruce said with a headache, "I don't know anything about these things without you."

"You are not even afraid of those vicious gangsters, are you still afraid of getting along with these rich people?"

Ah Fu joked, "The master of the Wayne family can't be so weak."

"Trust me, Fu, the gangsters are much easier to deal with than them."

Bruce smiled and hugged the old housekeeper, "Come back early."

Ten minutes later, Alfred walked into the abandoned factory of Wayne Industry in the dock area. As usual, he walked into the dark warehouse and pressed a series of passwords. The floor of the warehouse sank. In the underground, he saw Lucius sitting in front of the computer and busying himself from a distance. The current executive of Wayne Industries, at this time, will become Batman's assistant, helping him maintain the tools he used to fight Criminal technology.

"Lucius, we have to end our work here early tonight. Bruce's reception may require you to give a speech on stage. You know, my young master is not very good at this kind of event. He almost ruined it last time. The honor of the Wayne family."

Ah Fu took off his own coat, put it in his hand, and chattered, but did not get a response from Lucius. The intuition of the ace mercenary made Ah Fu feel that something was wrong, and he approached Lucius cautiously. , his left hand reached out to the dark room by the wall, trying to hold the pistol for self-defense.

But... he missed something.

"Dear Alfred, is this what you were looking for?"

A familiar voice sounded from behind him, Alfred's face changed suddenly at this moment, he knew who it was without looking back, he said in an angry voice,

"Cyber! We have never offended you! We are a cooperative relationship, are you going to hurt your friend now?"

"No no no, I never hurt my friends, you are my friend, so is Lucius, and so is Bruce..."

Wearing a baseball cap and wearing a black windbreaker, Saibo came out from the shadow behind him, walked up to Ah Fu, helped him straighten his collar, and then put the pistol in Ah Fu's hand, With a wry smile on his face, Lucius also raised his hands and turned around. In the space next to the computer with a large mask, Selena, who was holding a pistol and also wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, also stood up.

"Ah Fu, I just need a little help from you."

Saibo said earnestly, "The clown is here, that lunatic is here for Batman, and I have some "personal" conflicts with him... I would be happy to help your young master solve that trouble, but I need a set that can Protect my armor from hail of bullets and violent explosions."

Old Ah Fu squinted at him and said viciously,

"So you just ran over and "borrowed"? In this threatening way?"

Saber shrugged, with a helpless expression on his face,

"What can I do? You see, I have killed so many people. If Bruce finds out that I am still alive, he will definitely come to "reason" with me. You know, he is quite stubborn in this regard , even those scumbags."

He narrowed his eyes, leaned closer to Alfred, and whispered in his ear,

"Ah Fu, judging from your wise life experience, do you really think it is the right choice to leave a mad dog like the Joker alive? Batman will not kill him, he will only plant trouble for himself... But I Yes, I can kill him mercilessly and make this hidden danger disappear completely. Don’t forget the story you told me. That lunatic has made it clear that he is targeting Bruce. Look, brother Afu, I and You care as much about my buddy Bruce."

There was a sneer at the corner of Saber's mouth,

"So cooperate, Alfred, I will help him solve this trouble completely, just tonight!"

Alfred's expression became serious, he took a step back, looked at Seber with a trace of distrust, he thought for a moment, and asked,

"You mean, the clown will come tonight to disrupt the situation?"

"Yes, the clown left three targets behind, namely that idiot Robert, Judge Seliro and Harvey Dent. Lauber is probably dead, we rescued Seliro, and now, Harvey .Dent is in the Wayne Mansion, and the clown is sure to come."

Seb chuckled, "He's got what he says," doesn't he? He's gonna make Bruce take off his mask, that's what that lunatic wants to do, he wants to reveal Batman's identity, he wants to destroy Bruce! We can make him Do that? We can't!"

He took a deep breath, spread his hands,

"If you don't trust me, Ah Fu, come on, shoot me to death, if you care about your young master's reputation, then cooperate with me and "lend" Bruce's spare armor to me."

"You know, I have enough ability to get rid of this trouble."

He glanced back at Lucius and made an unfriendly gesture,

"I've had enough of my monkey stuff, I can't wait for a genuine, real fighting stuff! Well, my little one, put down the gun, you're scaring Mr. Lucius What's up...Apologize to him, okay?"

Selena reluctantly put down her gun. For this 16-year-old girl, being able to truly come to Batman's secret base was already enough for her to be excited. She lost her voice, so she still didn't know the identity of Batman.

In fact, any normal person would not associate Batman, who is a hero at night, with a world-famous rich man, and Selena even more scoffed at such nonsense.

Lucius was free, he looked at Selena, and then at Seber, and said faintly,

"Your little girlfriend is very hot, and she is a perfect match for a violent person like you."

"Okay, it's just a misunderstanding, brother Lucius, don't be angry!"

Saibo pushed away a few steps under Ah Fu's signal, rubbed his hands excitedly, and watched Ah Fu press three times in a secret place by the wall, the tightly fitting ground rose at this moment, and a glass cabinet was hidden in the Among them, it was a complete set of the latest bat armor after four modifications by Lucius.

Saibo turned around the suit of armor several times, then checked the time on his phone, and said to Lucius,

"Not enough time, man, let's remodel this dark thing and make it more in line with my aesthetics... dark red, melee weapons, guns, yes... the mask is no longer needed, I Brought my old one, I'm always fond of old things."

Seber took out the ghost face that was distorted in the previous explosion from behind. The flames and explosion messed up its surface painting, and the dark red peeled off a lot. It looked like a broken devil's face, but It looked more ferocious than before, and the black marks left by the flames were like three claw marks.

After Sable put on the ghost face, even Alfred had to admit that, in addition to the weirdness before, it added a more ferocious, crazy, and frightening aura to Sable.

The distorted voice of Saber being distorted by the voice changer sounded in the Batcave. He looked at the battle armor that was being quickly changed by Lucius using some kind of complicated device, and said faintly,

"I think, I'll call it... the red ghost, the ghost that crawled out of the dead... I like the name, by the way, my knife is still stored with Harvey, I have to find a chance to get it back, he Won't say no...yes."
