Chapter 051: A Mysterious Third Party
Hearing this, Rhaegar and Gordon glanced at each other through the rearview mirror in the car, and they could both see each other's shock. They all had some speculation about what Wayne Sr. was hiding, but they didn't expect it to be this aspect.
The point is, is this possible? What means did the other party use to convince old Wayne that they had the ability to solve a problem that modern medical technology had not been able to solve for more than a decade?
Gordon was righteous enough. He was afraid that Old Wayne would be deceived, so he simply left all the unhappiness he had hidden from Old Wayne and asked with concern. You know, it's not 500,000, it's 50 million, it's 50 million, and it's in dollars!
This guy who is not very good at business suddenly thought of a possibility: "Could it be that your competitor or someone who has some intentions for Wayne Enterprise is plotting against you?" ”
Old Wayne shook his head with a wry smile, and then began to tell the story of what happened.
It started a long, long time ago, when Bruce Wayne was not yet born, and Wayne Sr. was already a character in Gotham. At that time, in the entire Gotham, except for a few gangsters with countless industries, Wayne Sr. had become the richest man in Gotham. So naturally, he also became a sweetheart in the eyes of those gangsters.
In fact, before he became the richest man in Gotham, he had already suffered an accident with a gang looking for trouble. At that time, he was forced to join a local hidden organization in Gotham, and took on certain obligations, which saved him from disaster. It's just that this hidden organizational method is becoming more and more arrogant, and the old Wayne has been waiting for an opportunity to escape, but unfortunately there has never been a suitable opportunity. The Owl Court is still too strong, it not only has many local Gotham celebrities, but also cultivates an all-pervasive intelligence system, keeping the entire Gotham big and small matters in the palm of its hand, and even captives its own team of killers to eradicate dissidents. Old Wayne believed that as long as he found someone else to discuss his escape, it was estimated that someone would assassinate him that night. Then, those people will use all kinds of excuses that have been prepared for a long time to swallow up the Wayne Enterprise that he has worked so hard to develop!
However, in this situation, the old Wayne got a chance to fight back!
Hearing this, Gordon remembered a big case he personally handled back then.
"The hidden organization you're talking about is the Owl Court in the first place?" He asked in surprise, "That was the most sensational case I had in Gotham in the past few decades, involving gangsters, finance, education, public services and many other industries, almost the entire Gotham circle, and even the Gotham Police Chief and the Mayor of Gotham at the time were members of that organization!" And even when the evidence was sufficient, those people brazenly committed murder, brutalizing and killing more than a dozen police officers in a row to find out the whereabouts of the evidence that I had personally hidden, and assassinating several prosecutors to delay time. Speaking of which, we wouldn't have been able to legally confirm the existence of that organization if someone hadn't anonymously given us some clues at the time......"
"I made that anonymous call." Old Wayne suddenly interjected.
"And then we'll ...... Wait, what are you talking about?! ”
Gordon said he couldn't digest the situation for a while. And old Wayne, after telling this secret that has been hidden for nearly twenty years, seems to be a lot more relaxed all of a sudden.
At that time, Wayne Sr. happened to witness the Owl Court using a laboratory owned by Wayne Enterprises to conduct illegal human experiments, and under the rage, his determination to break away from the Owl Court was also unprecedentedly firm. And that same night, at Wayne Manor, a tall man in a black coat appeared in his study.
"The man left enough clues to deal with the Owl Court, but asked for nothing in return. When I asked him why he did this, he just said that we would meet again, and then disappeared out the window. "After the man left, I looked at the clues and found that many of them matched the traces I found, but on the whole they were much more complete than the traces I had found with great difficulty. But even so, I waited three days. I'm afraid that the almost pervasive Owl Court will find out about this and come against me, even against Martha and Ah Fu. Three days later, there were no accidents, and it was clear that the mysterious man in the black coat was much more powerful than I had imagined. But I'm still not at ease, so I sent you a message anonymously, putting those clues in an abandoned parking lot for you to pick up. ”
"Heh, you're so cautious." Gordon said lightly. Knowing this, he didn't know what emotions to use to deal with for a while.
Rhaegar wasn't interested in watching the old friends put their friendship to the test, and he was still thinking about the current problem: "This story also shocked me very much. But what does this have to do with the present? ”
Of course, because the tall man in the black coat reappeared.
“…… He said we'd meet again, and I waited, and he didn't show up from the beginning of the Owl Court to its complete destruction; From the time I decided to use my way to repair the trauma of Gotham under the dark reign of the Owl Court to the time things got on track, he still didn't show up. And then it didn't take long for me to forget about this person, not to mention Wayne's business and Gotham's business, Bruce was born, Bruce grew up, and Bruce suffered that disaster and became a vegetative person...... Those take up most of my time, leaving me with no time for anything else. In order to find a cure for blues, I have handed over my career to other people in the past few years, and I have traveled almost all over the seven continents and four oceans, whether it is scientific or superstitious methods, but it has no effect. It wasn't until more than two months ago that the tall man in the black coat reappeared in my study, standing in the same position he had been. Almost twenty years later, he reappeared in front of me. This time I still couldn't see his face clearly, but compared to twenty years ago, he didn't seem to have changed much in terms of spirit, and he was still as calm as a mountain. In contrast, I am old and emaciated. Then, I thought he was going to talk about dealing with the Owl Court, but the first thing he said was that he could help Bruce! ”
A person who mysteriously appeared twenty years ago, left behind a key that was enough to solve a huge problem, helped one, and then mysteriously disappeared again, and then came out again after twenty years, it does give people a very high-minded, even omnipotent. And three months ago, the old Wayne was probably in a state of despair because of several years of searching for a way to cure Bruce Wayne, and the tall black man said that he had a way as soon as he came out, and this time was really good.
At this time, James Gordon didn't care about messing with the old man, but said with a strange face: "I know that your Wayne family has settled in Gotham in the nineteenth century...... Could it be that you have some hidden clan guardian or something, hmm, hehe, just kidding. ”
Old Wayne was stunned for a moment, shook his head with a smile, and then returned to the topic.
According to Wayne Sr.'s description, the tall black man walked up to him and made a cut in the artery of his wrist with a wave of his hand. He was already dying himself, and he didn't even have time to think about why the other party did it. However, at the moment when the blood spurted out, the tall black man took out a quaint bottle the size of a little finger in front of him, and very quickly poured some kind of transparent liquid from the bottle on the wound. Old Wayne then felt no more pain, and when he wiped the blood away, he couldn't find the wound again!
"This fluid repairs all physical injuries, including damage to the brain. That's what he said. "Then he offered me to join their organization, be one of them, or fifty million dollars in exchange for Bruce's recovery. ”
Considering the unpleasant experience after being forced to join the Owl Court, since there was another option, it was only natural that Wayne Sr. did not want to join an organization that was probably even more terrifying than the Owl Court. In addition, for the sake of secrecy, the flow of 50 million dollars of old Wayne's funds can only be realized under the guise of a charity party.
Finally got to the point.
