When Selena took Aisha from Bruce's hands, it was already a little difficult, Aisha is not a baby after all, and it is already a little laborious for a three- or four-year-old child to pick up, Selena's size is not as tall as Bruce, and it is naturally more difficult to control Aisha, who is in a state of excitement.

But at this time, after a short pause in the trapeze performance, it entered the climax again, and the dazzling aerial movements made Aisha completely excited, she jumped forward so hard that Selena couldn't catch it at all.

Aisha scurried straight to the front seat, then climbed down the chair to the floor, and then underneath the chair in the row ahead, Selena followed the same route.

But who knows, Aisha seemed to have awakened some superpower, and her speed was incredible, and she disappeared into the layers of seats in the audience almost instantly.

Selena was completely lost, and could only find it in rows and rows.

At the same time, in the backstage of the stage, a small black shadow rushed by, and the owner of the circus felt some movement, and he turned back suddenly, but found nothing.

At this time, the owner of the circus is holding a saw, approaching the stake that holds the rope of the trapeze artist in place.

In the trapeze show, the ropes used to swing are hung from a higher rope, and the circus owner grins with a saw and approaches the stake holding the highest rope in place.

The circus owner held the saw and began to saw the thick rope, cursing very relieved as he saw, but just as the rope was about to be cut, a small figure appeared in an instant and bit him on the arm.

Aisha is not here to do justice, she is already interested in things that move, when the circus boss saws something, his arm goes up, and only his arm can move in the whole dark backstage, and Aisha of course bites it without thinking about it.

Unfortunately, Aisha's weight was too light, and her bite was not heavy, just like she usually bites Bruce and Selena's arms, except for a row of tooth marks, it did not cause substantial damage, and only caused the circus owner's arm to lag for a moment.

The thick rope, which had been sawn to the limit, was only the last strand of it was connected together, but it finally broke.

But it was the few seconds of lag that brought Bruce out of the bathroom closer to the stage.

The moment the rope broke, the two people hanging on the rope began to fall, but such a long rope, if it wants to be completely pulled out from the other end, it will take a few seconds, it is the superposition of these seconds and seconds, Bruce instantly rushed to the stage, and in the shadow of the curtain, he grabbed the flying rope.

But he was only one person, and there were two people on the other end of the rope, and his weight was not enough for the two people on the rope to stop falling, Bruce had considered this problem before grabbing the rope, so he grabbed the rope with one hand and circled his arm twice, and then grabbed the curtain beside him with the other hand.

With the anchor point, the rope stopped pulling away, and the Graysons on the other end of the rope stopped in mid-air.

Suddenly, Bruce heard the sound of cold air breathing, and he turned his head to see that behind the curtain, there was the little boy who claimed to be the heir to the Grayson family.

He looked at Bruce with his eyes wide open and his mouth wide open, his face full of shock.

There was still some distance from the auditorium to the stage, and there were several rows of seats in front of Bruce's position, and the stage was higher than the auditorium, and there were three flights of steps next to it, and Bruce completed the sequence of actions of flipping over the seats, rushing up the steps, grabbing the rope, and grasping the curtain in a matter of seconds.

The quick reaction, the smooth movements, and the precise handling make this look less like a hero saving people and more like an art performance, and in the eyes of little Grayson, who is a bystander, Bruce's whole person is glowing.

Bruce sighed and said, "Don't be stunned, come over and help pull the rope." ”

Little Grayson, who reacted from the shock, realized that his parents were about to fall, and the shock on his face turned to anger, and while helping Bruce pull the rope down, he said, "It must have been the circus owner who did it!" He has been looking at my father for a long time!! ”

After a while, the rope was pulled back into place, and the two actors were back on the platform, and they stepped down and thanked Bruce.

Mrs. Grayson was already in tears, and little Grayson was very angry and said, "It must be him!" Let's go settle accounts with him! ”

"Don't go! Dick! Come back! Mrs. Grayson called him, and the boy named Dick had rushed out, but was finally called back by his mother.

"Can you tell me what the hell is going on?"

At this time, Mrs. Grayson's spirit was on the verge of collapse, she held her husband and cried non-stop, and Mr. Grayson was also a little decadent, these two couples were just ordinary people, who had just experienced a life and death crisis, and the fear of being hung in the air and not knowing when they would fall down had completely broken their hearts.

As if looking for an outlet, Mr. Grayson said to Bruce, "...... I knew he did it, the owner of the circus, and we didn't want to work here, but we couldn't help it. ”

"There should be quite a few circuses on the East Coast, why don't you go there?"

Mr. Grayson sighed and said, "You shouldn't be paying attention to this, are you?" My father, Grayson Sr., the last generation of trapeze artists, made a major mistake in the performance, not only fell from mid-air, but also hit the edge of the stage props, and he ......"

"Okay, I know, you don't have to go into details, please mourn."

"It was a very high charity dinner, and many of the participants were dignitaries who had never seen blood, and this bloody death frightened many of them, and the Graysons were discredited, and the big circuses were reluctant to hire us, for fear that we would make such a mess again......"

"Only this circus is willing to accept us, because this is Gotham and people are not afraid of us falling to our death......"

The argument was both ridiculous and plausible, and Bruce couldn't say anything to refute it, as he asked the Graysons, "You're not native to Gotham, are you?" ”

"Actually, we've been here for a long time, and we've bought our own house, so we're half locals, but our hometown is in Bloomhaven."

"Let's go back, back to Bloomhaven!" Mrs. Grayson sobbed and said, "Give it up, we can't let little Dick live in this kind of fearful environment......"

Mr. Grayson pursed his lips, his face was haggard, and Mrs. Grayson continued to weep and say, "I know, I know that you have always wanted to revive the family business, but it really can't go on like this, and you have to think about it, what will poor little Dick do if we die?" In Gotham, orphans without parents are likely to be sent to that horrible foster school and then ......"

Mrs. Grayson began to cry again, and Bruce heard some of the information in her words, but now it was too difficult to ask, and little Grayson went up to comfort his mother, and the family of three hugged each other.

When Bruce walked backstage, Selena was finishing the last knot, and it was the circus owner who was tied up by her, and Aisha still bit on his arm.

When Bruce went to hug Aisha, he thought he was going to fight her again, but what he didn't expect was that Aisha let go of her mouth very easily.

Seeing the saw next to him, Bruce knew what was going on, he called Gordon, then hugged Aisha and left the circus with Selena.

Just as they got into the sports car and were about to drive home, a figure appeared in front of his car, Bruce let go of the steering wheel, turned his head sideways, looked at the figure, and asked, "...... Dick? What happened to you? What are you doing? ”

Dick walked around the front of the car, stood by the door of Bruce's driver's seat, and said, "My parents are going back to Bruce Haven." ”

"Congratulations to them, it's much better than Gotham, and you should be able to live a peaceful life."

"But I don't want to go back......"

"Why?"

Dick pursed his lips, and although he was not very old, he had a resolute look, and he said, "My grandfather's death was not an accident at all. ”

"How do you know?"

"I've investigated." Dick was very adamant: "The crossbar of his last curtain call was tampered with, and I looked at the rope, and the strangulation marks on it showed that it was a wrong knot, and the knot used to hold the crossbar in place should not have been like that......"

Bruce narrowed his eyes and asked, "So what,"

"You're not ordinary, are you?" Dick grabbed Bruce's car door with one hand and said to him, "I've been learning acrobatics with my father for a long time, and I know very well how difficult your moves are, and those muscle-powering techniques can't be improvised, you should practice ......them for a long time."

Dick kept pursing his lips as he said to Bruce, "My parents gave up, but I won't give up, I'm going to stay here to revive the reputation of the Grayson family, and I'm going to avenge my grandfather." ”

"What's more, if the cause of my grandfather's death cannot be found and the murderer of his murderer cannot be found, then my parents will not be safe."

"But......" Dick said with a helpless expression, "I know what Gotham is, and the skills I learned from my father are not enough to keep me alive here, and I can't convince my parents to keep me here, so ......"

Dick took a deep breath, his face showing a melancholy that did not match his age, he looked at Bruce and said, "If you can allow me to study with you, I think that one day I will be able to fulfill my wish, and you saved my parents, if I follow you, I don't think they will object......"

Before Bruce could reply, Dick said, "...... Well, I know it sounds ridiculous, how could I expect a big guy......"

Dixon opened his hand, he sighed, then waved his arm and motioned for Bruce to drive.

He also knows that he is just impulsive, not leaving with his parents, staying alone in Gotham, and still wanting to learn from the richest man in the world? It's a fantasy.

Bruce looked at Dick, but there was a very strange feeling, people will always see themselves in another person at some point, in fact, Dick's appearance is not like him at all, and he is only a seven or eight-year-old boy, not a character, but the tone of his voice makes Bruce feel that he is very special.

Maybe there are two people in this world who are naturally in harmony, in short, Dick is very pleasing to the eye to Bruce, and Bruce is also very pleasing to Dick.

But Bruce didn't plan to adopt an adopted son, and a daughter was already driving both him and Selena crazy.

Wait, daughter......

Bruce looked back at Aisha, who was fully secured in the child safety seat but still restless, and then at Dick, who looked much more mature than his peers, and just as Dick turned to leave, Bruce stopped him.

Half an hour later, at Wayne Manor, Bruce dragged Aisha's armpit to show Dick like a pet dog, and said to him, "This is your sister." ”

"Wait, are you planning to adopt me? I ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Aisha's mouth cracked, and Dick was startled by the fangs in her mouth, and he asked in shock, "What's going on??? How do you ...... your teeth?"

"I was born with a deformity of teeth, and I was too young to have it corrected." Bruce replied without thinking.

"Uh, okay...... Wait, her eyes don't seem to ......," Dick said, pointing to Aisha's eyes.

"Heterochromia iris, with his mother." Bruce replied in a natural tone.

"Yes...... Is it? But...... Why can't she speak? ”

"Autism in children, an appointment has been made with a psychiatrist." Bruce answered fluently.

"But ......"

At this time, Alfred came down from the upper floor, and he asked Bruce with a look of hope: "Master, this is the eldest young master, right?" Have the legal aspects been dealt with? I think we can ......."
