When Thomas reacted from his initial shock, his first reaction was disbelief. Not to mention how likely it is that Batman went to the Joker to borrow money, this amount alone is very wrong.

How could Bruce Wayne not even have $100??? But at this time, Jason stepped forward, picked up the IOU that Jack slapped on the table, looked at it, and said, "It's really Bruce's handwriting, let me see who the guarantor is...... Oh, a gangster boss in the East End, Rutt, I have a bit of an impression of him. Thomas's fingertips trembled a little, he stared at Jason, Jason looked at him innocently and said: "Some time ago, Bruce seemed to have gone to the slums, and I heard Selena complain before, saying, 'Why can't this big young master think about it, and he has to go to the slums to starve?' ’。 Judging by Jason's movements and expressions, it didn't look like he was lying, and Thomas couldn't describe his mood when he came to this conclusion.

This sentiment is indeed complicated, and it is difficult to empathize without giving an example. If you want to describe it, it probably is, you have a sworn enemy, he has been bullying you since he was a child, stealing your toys and pocket money, leading the whole class to isolate and bully you when he goes to school, and encouraging his colleagues and leaders to exclude you when he goes to work.

You want to stay away from him, but he always follows you and harasses all your family and friends until he drives them crazy.

You are furious and want to kill him, only to find that he cannot die, and your revenge will only provoke more crazy and bloody revenge.

In the end, he makes all the people you care about the most miserable, making you a real loner.

And one day, he suddenly came to the door, but not to continue torturing you, just as you raised your fist to teach him a lesson, he told you that your son owes him money.

The most terrible thing about this is that you can tell you just by thinking about how happy and proud your son will be when he asks him to borrow money in a low voice.

Not only does he not pay any price for his bad behavior, but he can even ridicule your education level from above, which will make you deeply understand that this is not a lose-lose situation, but a one-sided defeat for you.

After encountering this kind of thing, in addition to the extreme anger in the heart, there is also an additional sadness, which will make people produce a kind of this

The thought of "what the hell am I doing in my life?" This is exactly the case with Thomas now, and he has even begun to doubt the necessity of human reproduction.

If there is still a glimmer of understanding in asking the clown to see a doctor and prescribe medicine, then it would be outrageous to ask the clown to borrow money.

For most of Thomas's first half of his life, he played a good husband, a good father, and a successful businessman, and he would teach his children not to be complacent, so he would not be very proud, but as approachable as possible.

But from both a subjective and an objective point of view, the splendor of the Wayne family does have a part in Thomas, he is also a human being, and he will certainly feel proud, proud of his wealth and social status.

After becoming Batman, he lost almost everything he could, children, wife, friends, and all the things that remained, what could make him fearful and feel a sense of security, that is, his wealth.

When he learns that Batman from other worlds is his son Bruce, Thomas still has a bit of a fluke.

Thankfully, he left a huge inheritance and the Wayne Group for his son, and in any case, Batman is at least rich and doesn't have to experience both spiritual and material deprivation.

But now, for Bruce in this world, the huge wealth did not come in handy, and he was approached by his own enemy, but not because of any earth-shattering love and hatred, but only because of 100 dollars.

Thomas stood there in some silence, and after a while, he turned his head to Alfred and said, "...... Give the gentleman $100 and ask him out. He turned to leave, but heard a series of crazy laughter behind him, and Thomas turned back, only to find Jack the Clown very close.

Jack stared at Thomas with his bloodshot eyes, and said, "That guy is right, you don't understand your son at all, not even at all!" Jack turned abruptly, bent down and picked up the IOU on the table, put it in front of Thomas, looked at him and said, "Can you see clearly?" Can you read the amount written on it? Thomas's gaze still fell on the IOU, which clearly said $100, but Jack, as if he couldn't see it, stretched out his other hand, pointed to the words on the IOU with his finger and said, "It's not $100, it's the whole of Gotham." After saying that, he took two steps back, carefully folded the IOU and stuffed it back into his pocket, let out two more laughs, looked at Thomas with a mocking expression and said, "Don't be stupid, Master Batman, you are too far worse than him, you can't afford to pay this account!" The contempt and determination in his tone confused Thomas, and Jack the Clown went away humming a song with a cheerful expression and brisk steps, as if he had not come to collect a debt, but had come to mock Thomas.

Thomas understood what Jack meant, and Jack said that he couldn't pay the bill, but Bruce could, so he planned to wait for Bruce to come back, but Thomas didn't understand why.

Batman hates the Joker's pestering, but when the Joker doesn't bother to pester him, he feels even more awkward.

After Jack left, Thomas sat on the sofa and thought quietly for a long time, originally, Martha's death brought him a lot of mental stimulation, which caused him to be in a state of inability to think rationally since he came to this universe.

But there were so many mysteries in this universe that he had to force himself to calm down, Thomas took a few deep breaths, shielded himself from the complex emotions in his mind, and began to gradually sort out the context behind these anomalies.

It seems that Bruce has done nothing, but the environment he is in and the attitude of those who know him suggest that he must have done something, and if you want to find out what he did, you still have to start with the details.

The mature Batman is always quick to deduce the root of the matter, and after a while, Thomas got up from the couch, turned to Alfred, and said, "Prepare a suit for me, there should be a suit I can wear, right?" ”

"Of course, sir, you are much stronger than before, but the suit you prepared before also has a large size, I will iron my clothes now, do you want to go out?"

"Yes, help me get my car ready, by the way, Morey should still be working in the group, right? It's my paperwork, the red hair with glasses, you should have seen him once. ”

"Yes, sir, he is still the secretary of the chairman of the Wayne Group, do you want me to contact him for you?"

"Call him and ask him to help me draft a statement about the assassination of the Waynes many years ago, and it didn't end with the two of them dying together, and I didn't die, but I was kidnapped and taken to Nepal, where I've been recuperating ever since, and now, I'm back." Soon, Alfred ironed his suit, Thomas went upstairs to change, his sideburns were all white, but this added an extra majesty and imposing momentum to him, more like the helm of the world's top group than he had been many years ago.

He strode into the living room, where Alfred opened the door for him, and as soon as he got out, he saw a car waiting outside the manor door and a middle-aged man with red hair.

A man with a fat figure, glasses and red hair greeted him with tears in his eyes. Before Morey could speak, Thomas waved his hand at him and walked straight into the car, and when the car started, Thomas tidied up his tie and said with a blank face: "Contact the heads of the various departments of the Wayne Group...... I want to check the accounts. "At Smallville's Kent Farm, another delicious and hearty meal is over.

Diana and Louise, who had helped with the cooking, both relaxed on the sofa to eat, while Clark and Bruce, who had not been able to participate in the preparation of the ingredients, stood in the kitchen and washed the dishes.

Clark, who was wearing gloves, tapped the edge of the plate and said, "...... See? You have to do this, you have to turn the brush like this, pinch the edge of the plate with a sponge and rub it around, so that it will be very clean, haven't you brushed the dishes at home? ”

"Don't ask stupid questions." Bruce said with a blank face as he pinched the plate in circles a little awkwardly.

After saying that, Bruce looked down at the bottom of the cupboard again, and said with some confusion: "Don't you have a dishwasher at home?" Why hand wash? ”

"My mom said the dishwasher couldn't be clean." Clark shook his head and said, "This machine has only been used for drying since I bought it...... Oh, and by the way, don't leave the dishes aside when you're done, put them in the dishwasher to dry and sterilize. Bruce shook his head, clearly disagreeing with the idea, but he didn't say anything, still brushing his plate with his head down.

Bruce's expression was very serious and focused, as if what he was holding in his hand was not a plate, but some high-tech part that could change the future of humanity.

Clark glanced at him and thought it was a little funny, so he really laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Bruce also turned his head and said angrily.

"Hahaha, it's nothing, I just think...... I just think it's a little funny, hahahahaha, I've never seen someone so serious about brushing dishes, hahahahahaha! Clark laughed louder and louder, almost out of breath.

Bruce pursed his lips and looked at him like a fool, and when he turned around, he saw that the two girls in the living room seemed to be attracted by Clark's laughter, and were poking their heads into the room.

To stop Clarke's giggle, Bruce glanced left and right, then fished out a large cloud of foam from the sink mixed with water and dish soap and threw it in Clarke's face.

Not to be outdone, Clark immediately scraped the foam off his hands and plates and threw it on Bruce's head.

Who is Bruce? Batman never suffers, he wiped his forehead, reached out from the sink and scratched more than half of the foam to his side, using more foam to Lake Clarke's face.

Clark fired back again, and after a while, the two of them were covered in foam, and just as the battle was undecided, a familiar scream suddenly came from the door.

"Clark!! How old are you, still playing in the water??!
