Gotham, which is heaven in the eyes of a few, hell in the eyes of the majority.

For those who don't know it, the city has been awe-inspiring with its extremely high crime rate in the last 5 years, and few people will be the first to think about Gotham when moving, but if we talk about the numbers, we can see that more residents have moved into the city in the last year than in any previous year.

Beneath the façade of high crime rates, hidden is actually a thriving city, and the urban renewal plan carried out by the Wayne Group in cooperation with Mayor Nestor and the City Hall led by Mayor Nestor is going very well, and the re-flourishing Gotham Pier alone can provide nearly 3 jobs.

For ordinary people, spiritual enjoyment is obviously not as good as the abundance of life, so it has caused such a strange scene, Gotham is notorious, but in the context of the continued downturn in the world economy, more and more people are willing to come to the city.

"Huh"

The heavy curtains of the room were slammed open, and the not-so-violent sunlight shone into the bedroom, making the sleepy-eyed Miss Thief Selena can't help but complain, she has just returned from Europe with three more pieces of jewelry that are enough to pass on to her, but this does not make her as happy as before.

"Hurry up, Selena!"

The energetic Catherine jumped onto Selena's bed and urged her, "Hurry up, everyone is waiting for you for breakfast!"

"Let me get some more sleep, oh my god... My biological clock hasn't turned yet!"

Selena grumbled, but to Catherine's annoyance, the 17-year-old jumped under the ground in a huff, and a moment later, she sneakily returned to the room with a bag of ice cubes.

So after 5 minutes of screaming and fighting, Selena, who was reluctantly dressed in her pajamas, followed Catherine to the living room.

The family's breakfast was already on the table, the apron-clad Seib was putting the last pot of soup in the center of the table, the indifferent Ms. Dorothy was helping Seb set the table, beside her, a group of chirping girls were sitting on the sofa talking, and Robin and Santals, who had been busy all night last night, were leaning against the window with some languishing and blowing the morning wind.

Catherine was unexpectedly touched by this hilarious, lively scene, for some time in the past, this villa was something she did not want to stay in, because she was only alone here, especially during the period when her father died and Seber disappeared, it almost became a sad place for him.

It's different now, it's full of life again, and staying here makes her feel relaxed and happy, maybe that's what home feels like.

"Alright, it's time to eat. ”

Seber took off his apron, let Dorothy tie his napkin, and sat down at the head of the table, where Daddy had once sit, but now he had become the head of the family.

"Pray. ”

Seber took Catherine in his left hand, Robin in his right hand, and the others held the hands of others with both hands, and began to pray before the meal at the command of Cyber, almost exactly like Daddy did back then, of course, he himself did not pray, he did not believe in this.

But just as Robin was about to withdraw his hand after the prayer, Cyber's brow suddenly furrowed.

"Robin, how's it going?"

He picked up the hot tea at just the right temperature and drank it as he asked, "Is Gotham okay?"

"It's just a mess..."

Robin put a spoonful of soup into his mouth, nodded with satisfaction, and said while drinking, "Let's not talk about the battle between the Joker and Batman, every time they appear, it is a battle between good and evil, and the Penguins are completely unstoppable in the face of those villains who were released by the Joker, and now the slums in Midtown and Xicheng are like a world war with magic." ”

"There were some weird guys involved in that, and they were some troublesome bastards. ”

Speaking of this, Robin couldn't help but rub the corners of his forehead, and said with a headache, "For example, the Riddler and Mr. Freeze, they are not complete villains, but if they intervene occasionally, no one can stand it, the Black Gate Prison is already overcrowded, but Gordon can't help it, the current situation is a hundred times worse than what we experienced five years ago!"

"Hmm..."

Cyber's fingers twined on the table, and he took a cup of tea, "Need my help?"

Robin paused for a moment, then recalled the scene of the Hell's Gate War in New York that he had participated in not long ago, he couldn't help but shiver and shook his head,

"Forget it, you're not going to be up against these costumed rookies, and I don't want to see Gotham in ruins overnight. ”

Cyber nodded, but he pointed to the girls and boys who didn't forget to talk to each other when they ate.

"Then at least let them go, Robin, they have all dropped out of school, and we can't let them just be left to waste like this, so let's do it, starting tomorrow, Catherine and Emma, and Clarice and Naughty, you girls who are not yet adults go to Mr. Hawkins's lab, and I will let him take time to teach you..."

"No! I'm not going!"

Catherine put down her knife and fork and said, "I'm already a bar owner, I make my own money to support myself, so I don't go to school, it's the most boring!"

"Hey!"

Cyber tapped his fingers on the table,

"I didn't discuss this with you, Christian girls, for the first half of the day I went to class or followed Lewis to learn to manage the affairs of the docklands and the devils, and in the afternoon, you were free to move, but in the evening, you can follow Robin and Santals and them to act, this city will be your fighting ground, your hunting ground, make good use of your abilities, catch the bad guys, and see the dark side of the world. ”

He took a cigar from Ms. Dorothy and put it in his mouth,

"My advice to you is not to leave those guys behind, but since you are following Robin, you have to listen to him, and if Robin tells me that one of you is disobeying and putting the others in danger, I will send her back to New York..."

"Got it?"

Cyber's gaze swept over the girls' faces, Clarice and Naughty were a little hesitant, but Catherine and Emma, who had the most cheerful personality, were eager to try, he waited for 2 minutes, no one objected, so he made a final decision,

"Then it's decided. ”

After eating, Cyber and Robin took a walk in the small garden in front of the villa, the two of them talked, not very close but definitely not strange, Robin This guy has become more and more indifferent after several years of training, and the whole person looks like he exudes a temperament that no one can enter.

"I mean, Robin, you haven't met some strange things, or strange people in Gotham during my absence, have you?"

Cyber handed him a cigarette and asked seemingly casually, "You don't really know much about this world, if you encounter it, you must tell me as soon as possible." ”

Robin's expression didn't change, he smiled and shook his head,

"Of course, if I had come across, I would have done that. ”

Cyber's eyes narrowed, the trace of hesitation in Robin's eyes did not escape his observation, and coupled with the power he felt from Robin's body during the meal just now, he was now sure of one thing: Robin, his little brother, did not know when, had stepped into that damn world.

In this case, he can't leave it alone.

"I'm going to Central City tonight and everything is ready to go. ”

Cyber patted Robin on the shoulder, "Take care of the kids for me, I'll bring Kevin back." ”

Robin didn't speak, he nodded firmly, the scar on his face looked more and more hideous, but when he turned around, Robin also breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, he has secrets ... A secret that cannot be discovered by Cyber, but not out of malice, but a kind of protection.

That night, at 4 o'clock in the morning, Robin, wearing a dark red combat suit, ran lightly over the lonely Gotham, like a deer running on the hills, that kind of action did not seem to be done by normal people at all, especially when he jumped lightly, he could jump over the gap between high-rise buildings more than ten meters away, which made him look more like a superman than a normal person.

Eventually, he made his way to the depths of Gotham's Chinatown, looked left and right, and after making sure that no one was there, he jumped off the tall building and into a hidden warehouse.

Robin walked past the light that was not dim, but not bright either, and stood in the empty warehouse, he regulated his breathing, and when he was at his best, all the lights went out in an instant, and the next moment, the whistling fist wind smashed into his junior, and Robin rolled forward to dodge.

Robin jumped up, clenched his hands into fists, and assumed a fighting stance, the special force that was not yet powerful surging through his body, and the cyan air flow wrapped around his fists, making each punch he threw weighed as much as Tarzan, and the attacker in the darkness was obviously not afraid, but rushed towards Robin's fist.

"Bang Bang"

The two men fought in close quarters in the dark, each punch sending ripples visible to the naked eye, and the battle in the dark seemed more and more real and deadly in this well-soundproofed warehouse.

Three minutes later, Robin was punched in the abdomen, and under the special force attached to the punch, he flew out with a spin and smashed against the wall.

"You're regressing!

The attacker finally spoke up, echoing in the darkness with a strange accent, "Boxing is a special martial art, it will become obscure if you don't practice it for more than 3 days, and a month of relaxation will ruin all your efforts... Did you give in to your will, or did you end up choosing to be ordinary?"

"Hmm... No. ”

Robin clutched his stomach and shook his head, "It's just that my relatives have been reunited these days... Well, I'll admit, I've been relaxing my practice for the past few days, and I'll double down on it. ”

"Wow"

The lights came on at this moment, and the person in front of Robin finally revealed his true face, it was a yellow man who was not very tall, he looked like he was in his thirties, and his appearance was not outstanding, he looked like an ordinary person who could be seen everywhere in Gotham's Chinatown, but his eyes were bright, like a steel knife with an imposing attitude.

After seeing Robin's promise, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the momentum on his body suddenly dissipated, so he became calm again, he spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders at Robin,

"Don't blame me for being too strict with you, Robin, you have this talent, you can go to Kunlun and strive to become the official disciple of the powerful "Lei Gong" master, and even inherit that great name in the future, you are only from that excellent path, only you gently push open that door..."

He sat cross-legged on the ground and said to Robin like an old friend,

"I know you want to protect your relatives and protect this city, but with you now, it's not enough, and what I can teach you is also limited, and in another 1 month, I'm going to leave for Kunlun, do you want to come with me?"

Robin wore that mask and couldn't see the expression, but his hesitation was still felt by this person, and he persuaded again,

"Your family's power is enough to protect your sister temporarily, and when you return from your studies, this city will no longer be dangerous and invincible for you... Come with me, Robin, and don't waste your incredible talent!"

"I... Let me think again. ”

"Bang"

As soon as Robin said this, there was a loud bang from the door of the warehouse behind them, and the heavy iron door was easily torn open in a muddy manner, revealing the tall figure standing in the darkness.

The dark energy swayed outside of his body, tearing apart the deep night, and Cyber took the cigar off the corner of his mouth and flicked it aside,

"He's not going anywhere, he's staying in Gotham..."

The aura on his body became as deep as hell at this moment,

"Now Gotham is really a group of demons... Such half-assed crumbs can pretend to be masters in Gotham, and you want to kidnap my brother, very good, you rat has successfully angered me. ”

"Are you going to do it yourself?or am I going to do it? Choosing the latter would be very... Painful!"
