"Tomorrow...... It's my dad's birthday. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Barbara said.

In the study, Roy was busy with his seemingly never-ending business, and his mouth casually answered "oh".

Immediately, his instincts seemed to tell him what to say, adding, "Then tell him happy birthday for me." ”

"I'm going to have dinner with him tomorrow, and we have dinner together every year on his birthday...... Unless there's really something helpless. And ......," Barbara said, pausing here deliberately, "...... I hope you can join me this time. ”

Roy froze.

"What? I? ”

"Who else is it not you?" Barbara said, "Don't show that kind of expression, it's not to push you up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, it's just to eat with my dad." Anyway, you know each other so well, there won't be any problems. ”

She leaned on Roy's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Go, go!" ”

"Uh...... If it's okay......"

"That's it, it's decided!"

Is it decided? Roy smiled wryly and didn't refute.

Then let's take it as a decision.

Cardwell Head Office, in the conference room.

The board representatives from Wayne Corporation and the Board of Directors of the Cadwell Company sat at the conference table, with Mr. Cardwell himself sitting on one side of the table, a position symbolizing status and power.

On the other side of his position, Bruce Wayne, who was recognized as the only person in the room who had equal power to him, was seated, but now it was empty.

This is also a very embarrassing part of the directors of the Wayne Group, their boss has not been seen for half a day. It is said that Bruce Wayne fled the country during the last incident of the Joker's poisoning of the whole city, and since then he has been out and has not returned, and has not attended a single internal meeting of the company.

This was the most important meeting, and Mr. Cardwell personally threatened to buy Wayne Enterprises, the largest local company in Gotham. Generally speaking, this sounds crazy, but since the news of Batman's involvement with the Wayne consortium was reported, the economic situation of Wayne Enterprises has indeed declined slightly, and at the same time, Cardwell Corporation has developed into an economic giant across the country, and the depth of financial strength is unknown, and more and more people have recently believed that this company is already the top economy in the international community.

But even so, the threat to buy Wayne Enterprises is still a big piece of jaw-dropping news, and now the national media community is blowing up the heat.

As a result, Bruce Wayne still did not show up in person.

On the projection screen at the end of the long table, Bruce Wayne, dressed in a casual plaid short-sleeved shirt, is standing in the middle of the screen, with a rainforest in the background.

On the screen, Bruce glanced at everyone through the cameras in the room, and finally fixed his eyes on Cardwell at the end of the table.

"I'm guessing you're Al Dee Cardwell, aren't you?" He said, "Welcome to Gotham...... But I've heard you've made this your home home. ”

"Don't, don't, just call me Eddy...... Or Lao Ai can also become, whatever you like. Mr. Cardwell said politely, seemingly unfazed by Bruce's disrespectful behavior on the long call, "If we're going to do business together, we can at least get closer." ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Cardwell, I'm afraid I don't have the intention of doing so."

Cardwell smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Not going to accept my offer for Wayne Enterprises? It's good, but it doesn't matter. He said, "Then add another zero." ”

Everyone present did not change color. While most of them didn't know what Cardwell's offer would be for Wayne Enterprises, if they wanted to buy such a large company, they would have to have to have a few digits. But this guy even lightly expressed his willingness to add a zero, and the wealth is simply unfathomable.

"Wayne Enterprises is not for sale, Mr. Cardwell." Bruce was not frightened, but said impatiently.

Cardwell shook his head, "Don't be funny, everything has a price." ”

"I didn't." Bruce said categorically, "Regardless, you deserve an answer for your generosity, and that reply is 'thank you but not need,' and that's the only reason we're talking here." So if you don't mind, I've got a 'Riptide Rush' project to play next." ”

With that, the image cuts off.

Everyone present cautiously looked at Cardwell's face, waiting for him to explode.

But no, Cardwell just crossed his hands and leaned back into his seat.

"It looks like Mr. Wayne is intent on making our lives hard." He said as if to himself.

In the Bat Cave.

Alfred let out a long sigh of relief after wearing a digital mask and activating the optical background compositing instrument to disguise Bruce Wayne.

"So, I guess that's what you said 'busy'?"

Roy said, stepping out from behind him.

"Almost."

Alfred said, taking off his digital mask and standing up, "I can disguise myself as Lord Wayne and make some phone calls or video calls, but I knew there would always be a time when Bruce Wayne himself would show up." If Bruce Wayne stays in his mansion for too long, or travels outside the house and doesn't return, there will always be people who are suspicious. And now, it looks like it's time for him to come on personally. ”

"You want me to play him." Roy Road.

"If there's a need for it, that's probably it."

Roy frowned, pondered for a while, and said, "You asked me not to tell anyone, and I did." But I thought ...... You just need a little time to come to terms with the facts. But have you ever thought that maybe your so-called 'best ending' is not what he wants at all? ”

"Not 'maybe', I certainly know it's not what he wants." "He's my child, and I know him well, and since he was eight years old, he's never forgotten a single detail about his parents' deaths, because he refuses to forget," Alfred said. He wanted to live as Batman, he wanted that life, and then die in a lonely, traumatic battle. ”

"That ......"

"But I don't want to!" Alfred raised his voice and interrupted him, "What parent would want to watch their child die?" This is an opportunity, a God-given opportunity. God erased the immortal scars on the eight-year-old boy's heart and gave him a new life. So let the past pass, Batman is dead. ”

Roy looked at him carefully for a moment.

"Okay, I understand."

At this time, outside the Child Welfare Center.

Dick Grayson sat on a bench on the lawn, his eyes on the group of children chasing and playing on the lawn, and locked on the bearded man who had raised him.

"Can't be wrong, it's him." Dick muttered, "What happened to you...... Bruce? (To be continued.) )
