Chapter 24 Bruce Wants to Come Back

"This reward is much less practical than last time."

Maggieson was a little disappointed. The gun skills in the wanted poster are actually similar to those of the thieves.

Playing poker cards is no worse than those bullet turning skills, and the viewing experience is countless times stronger.

The only useful thing is bullet time.

Although the time deceleration that acts on oneself has considerable limitations, it is still a very useful skill.

Before Maggieson successfully learns the time stop magic, this can just be used as a substitute.

The last improvement is that his fighting skills have also made great progress.

The assassin training of the mutual aid association is not just about playing with guns, close combat is also a very important one.

And it is not the kind of fancy boxing, but a killing skill that kills with every move.

After hiding the golden green cat's eye, Maggieson left the base and returned to his real home.

Of course, changing clothes and taking detours are inevitable along the way.

At the same time, in Wayne Manor.

Bruce sat on the sofa in silence, his eyes kept changing, as if he was struggling with something important.

"Master Wayne, the news broadcast has ended, and Kaito Kidd won."

Alfred reminded.

"I know, Alfred."

Bruce said in a weak tone.

"Have I become stupid? The notice said the invitation of the wave, and I really thought it was the wave."

"I actually ignored the fact that Gotham Broadcasting Company happened to be on Lower City Island. Kaito Kidd won me."

"I used to never make such a low-level mistake."

"Excuse me, Master Wayne, the Kidd who appeared in the sky at the beginning was just a fake person. Even if we guessed the correct notice, we couldn't catch him."

Alfred was very serious. He didn't want Bruce to question himself again because of this little thing.

But at the same time, he was also a little happy in his heart, because Bruce might finally return to live in the sun.

But it is more likely to return to life in the dark.

"No, Alfred, you didn't see the crux of the problem."

Bruce shook his head and stood up with crutches. Due to long-term inactivity and various hidden injuries left in the past, his right leg was almost numb.

The specific reason is unknown because he is unwilling to go to the hospital for examination.

"Kaito Kidd is very different from what we imagined. He is not a simple thief."

Bruce's words were filled with hidden worries.

"Gordon is not his opponent, I think..."

"Do you think it's time to let 'him' come back?"

Alfred interrupted.

"I'm sorry, Master Wayne, but I don't think this is a good choice."

"Gotham needs you, but it needs your resources, connections, and wisdom, not your life!"

"What Gotham really needs is Bruce Wayne, not Batman!"

Alfred was very excited. He is now gray-haired. Although he is just a butler, Bruce was raised by him.

In Bruce's heart, Alfred is almost equivalent to his father.

Similarly, Alfred, who has no wife or children, has long regarded Bruce as the person he cares about most.

"Rachel said that when Gotham no longer needs Batman one day, she will come back to me, but she died..."

"Alfred, you know what Rachel means to me. For eight years, Gotham no longer needs Batman, but I have also lost the meaning of life."

"You can't always stay in Gotham!"

Alfred suddenly became stern, which reminded Bruce of when Alfred taught him after his parents died. Alfred was also so stern at that time.

"Look at this world, you will find countless beauty. Do you remember before everything happened? Before Batman was born."

"You left Gotham and disappeared for seven years. I never wanted you to return to Gotham because your memory of this place is only pain."

"Stop it, Alfred!"

Bruce suddenly yelled, and he regretted it after yelling, but he said nothing.

"Please make an appointment with a hospital for me. Go check my leg tomorrow to see if it can be cured."

After leaving this sentence, Bruce returned to the bedroom with a cane.

"Which hospital do you want to go to?"

Alfred asked, looking at Bruce's back.

"Of course, the one I used to go to!"

------------

Blackgate Prison, a huge prison standing on Blackgate Island, has two completely opposite reputations: the most difficult prison to break into and the easiest prison to break into.

In Gotham City, it is a forbidden place second only to Arkham Asylum.

Today, a new visitor entered here.

"Selina Kyle, nicknamed Catwoman, has committed many jewelry thefts and has been arrested more than ten times, but she has successfully escaped from prison every time. The first time she escaped from prison was when she was sixteen years old. She is a notorious thief."

"Jim, you have given me a big problem today."

The head of Blackgate Prison frowned.

Gordon, who personally escorted Catwoman, replied: "But she has never been to Blackgate, has she?"

"You know, if she is put in an ordinary prison, she will slip away in a few days. I can only feel at ease if she is locked up in you."

"But Blackgate Prison never holds female prisoners."

Gordon said calmly: "The Dent Act stipulates that under special circumstances, male and female prisoners are allowed to live together."

"Okay, okay, it's just a kitten, not those weirdos back then. Blackgate Prison will not let a prisoner escape."

"I suggest that she be given a single room."

"Oh, I understand, after all, the people in charge here are all extremely vicious men."

"No," Gordon shook his head, "because she will cripple other prisoners."

After leaving Blackgate Prison, Gordon did not go home directly, but drove to GCPD, not because he liked to work overtime, but because the GCPD's on-duty police called him not long ago and said that Barbara was in the police station.

If it weren't for escorting Catwoman, he would have rushed back to GCPD long ago.

"Dad!"

As soon as they returned to the police station, Barbara ran over and hugged Gordon, and the father and daughter looked at each other in silence.

Seeing that Barbara was safe, Gordon finally put his mind at ease. He now knew that the previous Barbara was disguised by the Kaito Kidd. If Kidd dared to hurt his daughter, Gordon would shoot that bastard at all costs.

Fortunately, Kidd did not hurt Barbara.

The next day, all the major media in Gotham were like crazy, and they all pointed their spearheads at the Kaito Kidd.

He committed two high-profile crimes in a row, and successfully stole high-value gems. His outfit was even more eye-catching, occupying the front page of all news.

"A-choo!"

In a classroom at Gotham University, Maggieson sneezed, causing his deskmate Barbara to roll her eyes.
