Chapter 14: The Housemaid
"Maid, you're late!" As soon as he got into the passenger seat of the truck, Zorro said this. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ Info then closes the car door, as well as the guitar case and duffel bag that contains his gear.
Seeing a bag of fries, a glass of Coke, and an unopened burger on the center armrest box next to his seat, he naturally picked up the Coke and drank it, and then opened the carton of the burger and ate it.
"Hey, that's my breakfast!" ClarΓ© exclaimed sharply, "Also, it's your fault that you're late. You said you would be back in 10 days before you left, so I only paid for 10 days at the parking lot. Yesterday the administrator came to urge, and I handed it over for another ten days, and you called me today. It took me a while to get the money back from the administrator and I was overcharged by 20%. Alas, why didn't you come back a day earlier! Finally, again, I'm not your maid! β
"Breakfast...... It's past three o'clock in the afternoon. Also, you haven't spoken to anyone for more than ten days? I mean in addition to the caretaker of the parking lot. While stuffing food into his mouth, Zorro said, "Maid, don't tell me that you have been in the car for more than ten days and have not gone out. You should go to a cafΓ© or something to pass the time. β
"Not that interest." Graving the Coke back, regardless of the straw being "contaminated", Clarley took a sip before placing the fries in the door storage compartment on her side. "I don't want to just turn my head and see things I shouldn't see."
Clarrey wasn't just talking about demons, but other humans or humanoids who could hide themselves through various skills like their Shadowhunters. Those people are distributed in the entire country, the entire continent, and the whole world, which may not be nothing, but if you count the total, there are a lot of sincerity. Just like Claret thought, maybe one every few blocks.
In fact, as long as the Shadowhunter casts some of their unique runic skills, ordinary people can also see some of those humans or humanoids. That's how Zorro was able to join the army of demons summoned by Claret's father. But from Clarley's words, she was a little resistant to the Shadowhunter's talent, or rather the fact that she was subconsciously resistant to her Shadowhunter identity.
"Originally, I felt a little guilty about leaving you alone in the car for more than ten days, but it seems that you enjoyed your time in the car. I'm relieved. β
"No, no, no, I don't enjoy it at all. Bored to death in the car. Clarley complained, "I used to think it would be comfortable to stay at home all day and do whatever I wanted. Now I'm tired of watching movies. Or if you get the commission, take me out. Rest assured, I can take care of myself! β
Zorro couldn't help but smile: "I thought you didn't want to see those demons or something. β
"If you take me out on an adventure, I can overcome that!"
"Yes." Zorro nodded. Then when the other party was happy, he added: "But not now." β
So he was slapped on the arm hard.
"Speaking of which, hurry up and take off that super ugly wig. It's hard to get used to watching. β
Zorro shrugged: "I can't sit here without it." He was referring to the traffic cameras. His looks can't be revealed.
"Then you don't want to sit here." Having said that, Clarley still has a little temper. However, she couldn't have a ruthless cold war with the other party, and she was silent for only two seconds before she broke the score. "Where do you go next? It's been going around twice. β
Grabbing his guitar case and duffel bag, Zorro was about to head through the back door of the car to the trailer.
"You go to a supermarket and buy some vegetables and meat. I'll sleep for a while, and wake me up two hours later to make dinner - you did it, and this time it's my atonement. β
He smiled, and said it so rightly that Clarey pouted.
"By the way, I still need you later......" Zorro was about to continue, but was interrupted by Claret.
"I'm driving. Get out of here and get rest! I'll talk about it when you're done with dinner. She said.
At the same time, the eyes come to Gotham again. In front of the gates of City Hall, accompanied by Commissioner Gordon and Miranda Tate, Batman - not as Bruce Wayne - appears in Gotham in broad daylight in rare daylight. He had just finished a speech about nuclear weapons, about Bane's "revolution", about the remnants. And what he mentions most is redemption and a fresh start.
That's right, the appearance of Batman is very inspiring to some people. It's a pity that Bane's damage is too great. Civil servants and wealthy businessmen have almost died, many innocent people have been persecuted on trumped-up charges, and the rest are either mobs or villains with rat heads. Counting on the ones who have been hiding at home to bring Gotham back on track? Come on. Now I can't even get together a committee to act as mayor!
In short, Batman they have a long way to go.
"Or Bruce Wayne will be the mayor?"
In the departing car, Miranda proposed. Sheriff Gordon, who was in charge of driving, was even more direct: "Otherwise, you will just make your identity public!" β
That's right, both of them know that Bruce Wayne is Batman. In order to win their support and get them to agree to arrange Batman's speech, Bruce Wayne had to reveal his identity to them. Of course, one of them already knew.
Regarding the opinions of the two, Bruce Wayne shook his head directly. If you really want to go public, the best opportunity is when you just give a speech. Now that it's over, it's even more impossible to make it public.
Back at Wayne Manor, the three of them hurried into the house, and were about to continue the meeting to discuss the revival of Gotham, when the old butler Alfred greeted them.
"Master Bruce, someone has come to visit. She claimed to be from a department called the Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau. β
So Bruce Wayne had to go alone to meet the visiting Black Widow first.
"I've already said that Gotham is grateful for the help of the military and S.H.I.E.L.D., but originally the prisoners in Arkham had to stay in Gotham and stay in Arkham!" As soon as they met, Bruce Wayne said crisply.
With the addition of the military and S.H.I.E.L.D., the situation in Arkham Asylum quickly returned to the level it was before Bane's appearance, and even higher. After all, for some time to come, people from both sides will be responsible for the work of guards. Both sides of the flank also offered to take the prisoners away, which was met with strong opposition from Batman.
"I'm not here for that." Romanoff shook his head, "I'm in charge of assessing the wrestler's nemesis, Zorro, the one who defused the nuclear crisis and captured Bane, but I don't know much about him. And according to the captain and Hawkeye, judging by your performance on the returning Kun fighter at the time, you seem to know him? β
"No, I just wanted to see him after I knew that he had defused the nuclear crisis."
Romanov heard the point and immediately asked: "And now?" β
This time it was Bruce Wayne who shook his head: "It doesn't matter if it's friend or foe." β
"Oh, why?"
"Because I'm Batman!"
Hearing this familiar words, Romanov was stunned for a moment, and then thoughtful. (PS: New books for click collection recommendations and various messages~)
