27. Afu's thanks and gifts
The advantage of having a trustworthy butler is that when you encounter problems that you can't handle yourself, you can often entrust them to him.
And for the stewards who adhere to the traditional concept, the safety of the owner is always the first priority.
So five minutes after Cyber returned to the bar, a fully bulletproof retro Rolls-Royce stopped at the door of the Old Gun Bar in the violent friction between the tires and the ground.
Alfred, who was wearing a long black trench coat, opened the car door with a vigorous gesture that was not at all appropriate for his age, and walked out, and on the other side was a middle-aged black man carrying a black suitcase.
"Alfred, you're finally here!"
Daddy was already a little anxious when he saw Bruce Wayne's bad state, and he couldn't imagine what kind of terrible consequences would be if Gotham's son had an accident in his bar, not to mention that the young man lying on the second floor was already his boss.
Alfred was younger than his father, but he was already full of gray hair, and according to Cyber's senses, this gray-haired, but meticulous old man, dressed in a well-dressed black suit, was at least 60 years old, his eyes shone with a gentle light, and he looked like a very nice person to get along with, but what he carried in his arms could not hide from Cyber's eyes.
It was supposed to be a loaded pistol, and judging by the frequency of the old man's movements and movements, maybe the next moment he would pull out his pistol and kill everyone here in 3 seconds.
This old man must have been a ruthless character in his youth, and he was definitely trained so rigorously that in his old age he still maintained that faint, tough military style, and although he had been hidden under that gentle and trustworthy exterior, he still couldn't hide it from Cyber's eyes.
It's like an aging lion, but still has the ability to tear your neck apart with ease.
"Thank you, Christian, if it weren't for you and Cyber, I'm afraid the young master would..."
Alfred was also scared when he said this, and the middle-aged black man who followed him looked left and right, and then stopped his gaze on Cyber for a moment, Cyber felt like he was being targeted by a cunning fox, but fortunately, this guy only looked at it for a few seconds, and then turned to Alfred and Daddy.
"Take me to Bruce, I'm going to give him a hemodialysis first. ”
His voice was a little low, hoarse, and he spoke a little directly, and he looked like a man of few words, but if he could say these words, he must be a doctor or something, and Cyber nodded at him,
"Come with me!"
A moment later, the four of them gathered in Bruce Wayne's room, the black man quickly put on rubber gloves, opened the suitcase, which contained some equipment that Cyber didn't recognize, but at first glance it was very high-end, he took out a small needle, ready to take blood on Bruce's arm, but was almost punched in the stomach by Batman.
"Hey, man, you've got to be careful with a delirious person!"
Seber tugged his arm back, dodged the punch, and then pressed Bruce's shoulders and arms with his hands with Daddy.
"Although the fear has subsided somewhat, his body and senses are still in a very high state, and the speed of blood is a little faster!
Cyber looked at the black man and said quickly, "It's not easy to suppress this guy, so you'd better get it right the first time, or he'll probably blow you in the head with one punch!"
"Worried, Mr. Cyber. ”
Alfred also stepped forward, pressed Bruce Wayne's legs, and introduced to the others, "Lucius is the best doctor I know, he is a genius in many fields, he is a well-known high-tech worker in Wayne's enterprise, by the way, the young master's armor was also designed by him." ”
"I'm not... I was fired by Earl this morning, you know, I'm just a homeless homeless man now. ”
After Alfred's introduction, Lucius, who was originally a black man with a hint of indifference, also showed a smile helplessly, it seemed that his indifference just now was just because he was not in a good mood, Cyber noticed that Lucius was a very amiable person, and when he laughed, he could make people quickly let down their guard.
Well, this is also a man with a story.
It seems that Bruce Wayne has a lot of people around him! And Alfred's words also represent the wise old butler's attitude towards Daddy and Cyber, he generously admitted Bruce Wayne's hidden identity, so as to tell the two people, especially Cyber.
He is friendly and a friend to work with.
This is especially satisfying for Cyber, who enjoys working with people who are both smart and powerful.
Lucius's hands were as he said, very stable and precise, it only took less than 2 seconds to remove the blood, Cyber found a rope and tied Bruce Wayne to the bed, Alfred did not stop Cyber's movements, he knew very well that this was the best way for his young master at the moment, to avoid him from hurting others and hurting himself at the same time.
After Cyber had done all this, he noticed that Alfred standing by the bed gave him a look, he nodded, and then continued to smoke a cigarette and walked out of the room, ten seconds later, Alfred also walked out of the house, the two of them stood by the bed, the old butler did not speak immediately, but looked at Cyber for a few seconds, and finally leaned over slightly.
This formal thank-you ceremony did not shirk Samber, he knew very well that an old man like Alfred, who adhered to a certain code of conduct, had his own set of rules of conduct, and since he wanted to thank him, he would not end it because of his resignation.
"Uh... I have to thank you, Mr. Cyber, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd be in for a much worse situation. ”
Alfred glanced worriedly in the direction of the room, soothed his arms, and said to Cyber, "I don't know if I can save him in the narrow island, he always does... Wayward, paranoid, and after coming back this time, he has a new trait, a trait that gives me even more headaches. ”
"Looks like he wants to be a law enforcer in the dark, or a vigilante or something, of course, you can call me Cyber. ”
Cyber asked tentatively, but Alfred shook his head,
"Okay, Cyber, but since 7 years ago, when Qi Li, the criminal who killed the lord and the lady, was finally acquitted, the young master has completely despaired of the law, he will not become a law enforcer, he will only use his own way to do it, he wants to bear the sins of the whole Gotham on him, and judge the crime with his own paranoid thoughts, I don't care if he will become a murderer, but now it seems that he has chosen the most difficult path. ”
"yes, I've seen how he dealt with those villains. ”
Cyber shrugged his shoulders and opened his mouth to spit out a puff of smoke rings, "His movements are fierce and well-conditioned, like a well-trained warrior, but he has abandoned this advantage and adhered to the strange rules he has set for himself, he doesn't want to kill, but frankly... That's stupid. ”
"Those scoundrels don't thank him for his mercy, he's getting himself in trouble. ”
Alfred wasn't angry at Cyber's taunt, he just frowned,
"He doesn't want to tell where he was in his last year, and I can't find out his past when I look around, and frankly, it worries me, Cyber, can you understand that concern?"
"Hehe, what is the purpose of an organization that has trained a self-exiled young master into a killing machine? and why did they bring Bruce back? is it because he has some kind of mission, or is it because he parted ways with the organization?"
Cyber snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand on the window, and he grinned,
"In my experience, your young master thinks the past is over, but this often means the beginning of more troublesome things, you better talk to your tsundere young master, maybe he knows who his opponent is, but he doesn't want to tell you... He thought he could handle it, but with the information I've gathered so far, he can't... This is the real big trouble. ”
"What do you mean?"
Alfred frowned, "Let's talk about it in detail." ”
Cyber glanced at him and pursed his lips, "Ah Fu, you and I both know that you don't need to talk so much to someone you're meeting for the first time, so before I tell me my news, can you tell me why you're telling me this?"
A meaningful smile appeared on Ah Fu's face, and Cyber waited for a few seconds without Ah Fu talking, he pouted,
"That's why I hate dealing with old foxes like you the most, so let's be honest, I want that armor... Don't look at me like that, okay!I'm not taking advantage of you, the storm is coming, I can't escape, I have to find a way to increase my strength, that armor is good, and you don't need to spend money to inquire about it?"
Hearing Cyber's somewhat scoundrel words, Ah Fu laughed,
"No, no, Mr. Cyber, you saved the young master's life, this is much more expensive than a set of armor, I have to mean, your body type is different from the young master, that armor is not suitable for you, if you need it, you can ask Lucius to help you make one, but..."
Ah Fu's gaze became serious, and at this time, he had the kind of aura that a veteran who had experienced life and death should have, which made Cyber subconsciously tilt his head back.
"But you have to think about it, Mr. Cyber, the friendship of the Wayne family is a precious thing in Gotham, and judging by the things you've done in the past few days, you're a dangerous person who likes to stay in the dark, and if the young master insists on going his own way, you'll become rivals sooner or later. ”
Cyber's eyes narrowed again, and he knocked on the window, and replied nonchalantly,
"Don't worry, Ah Fu, when that time comes, I will let your young master go, and at least until this time is over, I won't be crazy enough to offend two existences I can't afford to provoke at the same time. ”
A smile reappeared on Ah Fu's face, and he even made a joke,
"Oh, how do you think that you let him go, not him give him back your life? For the current young master, his destructive power is much stronger than yours, isn't it?"
Cyber also laughed, and after laughing, his expression became frozen, and he said very seriously,
"But he won't kill... And when I kill, I don't hesitate. ”
Alfred's smile vanished, but after a moment, he shook his head,
"Hey, forget it, your affairs, you can handle it yourself, don't forget what you promised me, now tell me what you know?"
Cyber also cooperated to skip the topic, his fingers darting in the window, as if organizing the language, and after a moment, he spoke,
"Well, maybe it's my delusion, but after I saved him, I always felt that it wasn't the first time Bruce had this experience, in fact, I myself had been hurt by fear gas earlier today, but..."
At this point, Cyber paused,
"In short, I can feel that Bruce is fighting that emotion and that heavily amplified sense in a special way, and if it weren't for his own insistence, I'm afraid he would have collapsed before he could have waited for you to arrive. ”
Cyber glanced at Alfred,
"And I know that the guy who made this poison gas is a minion of an organization called the Shadow Warrior Alliance, which means that Bruce is likely to have been in contact with the Shadow Warrior Alliance before, and the Shadow Warrior Alliance's goal this time is to completely destroy Gotham, if our idea is a little bolder, my guess is..."
"Your young master, maybe it's the striker sent by the Shadow Warrior, uh, but judging from his style of acting, this seems unlikely, so let me put it another way: although I don't know what the connection between him and the Shadow Warrior is, I can guess that they may continue to come to him for trouble, because of those things in the past, but if I were you..."
Cyber held up a finger, then clenched his fist fiercely,
"I'll be ready for anything! When they come, punch them in the face!"
Alfred was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Thank you for your information, Mr. Cyber, I will consider your opinion carefully, but I would like to know if you will be involved?"
Cyber immediately understood what Ah Fu meant, and he shrugged his shoulders,
"My contract with my dad will end tomorrow, which means that I'm about to lose my job, and there's a little 'small' friction between me and the Shadow Warrior, so if there's enough mercenary money, I'll probably be happy to join it, do you understand?
"Oh, mercenary? Great analogy, I was a mercenary when I was younger, so let's talk like a mercenary, Cyber, what does the Wayne family have to pay for hiring you?"
