In a makeshift office converted from a guest room, Amanda Waller put down her monitoring headphones in a panic, turned her head and yelled at her subordinates behind her: "Quickly notify the emergency security department and let them suppress this matter!" Hurry up! ”

The subordinate who was yelled at by her looked dazed, he didn't understand Amanda's order, so he instinctively repeated: "What do you want to suppress?" ”

"Bruce Wayne and his weird little fetishes, of course! Now notify the major newspapers and shut up their editors-in-chief! ”

"But ......"

As if she couldn't take it anymore, Amanda dropped the headphones on the table, turned to look at the other agent and said, "What about the director?" I'm going to talk to him personally! ”

Before she could finish speaking, the door slammed open, and a strong black agent limped in with the director of the FBI.

Amanda showed a surprised expression and hurriedly greeted him, and the director planted himself on the sofa, gritting his teeth and scolding: "That damn Bruce Wayne, what does he want to do?" I'll show him how out of the box he is and what price he will pay for his recklessness! ”

"Amanda, our old friend Sovo, the editor-in-chief, should still be in charge of the current affairs section of the Washington Post, go call him immediately, and in the next three days, the Washington Post will be fully reporting on Bruce Wayne's abuse and sexual assault of his adopted son."

Amanda didn't say anything, let out a long sigh, walked over to the table, picked up the headphones, and the director turned to look at her with a disgruntled expression on his face.

Amanda brought the recording equipment over and slammed it on the table, and the director looked at the headphones she was carrying in surprise and rolled her eyes up, glanced at Amanda, and then impatiently took them and put them on her ears.

The monitoring headphones are the recordings of the monitoring of a certain room in the hotel, and the sound inside is very loud, and it sounds very irritable, even through the headphones, everyone can vaguely hear the last sentence echoing in the room.

"Believe me, at that time, I will definitely use everything I saw at the bottom of Gotham to keep everyone in this country from coming down......"

The Director's expression changed from initial anger to confusion, to shock, and finally to a slight panic.

As if electrocuted, he took off his headphones with a whoosh, his bulging eyeballs seemed to shoot out of his sockets, his hands clenched into fists on his lips, and he coughed twice.

"He's Jason Todd? I mean the kid who looked a little bit older. ”

Amanda sat down across from the chief, crossed her legs, nodded and said, "Yes, Jason Todd was born in the poorest neighborhood of Gotham, his parents died when he was about three years old, and he became a street child in Gotham until he was adopted by Batman around the age of 10. ”

The Director's eyes widened again, he looked straight at Amanda, and confirmed, "He lost his parents at the age of 4 and grew up independently in the slums of Gotham until he was adopted at the age of 10??? ”

Amanda rolled her eyes and nodded.

"Uh-huh......" The director dragged a long note, flipped his hands in front of him, pursed his lips again, covered his mouth with his hands, lowered his head, and looked up at Amanda again.

"I mean, is it possible for us to have just one other orphan in the interview? I'm referring to the kid named Richard Grayson, whose parents must have died late, right? ”

"Huh." Amanda sneered and said, "Then how are you going to explain to the judge and the jury that only one of the two victims in the photo has appeared, and where has the other gone?" ”

"Perhaps...... Maybe...... He was very ill and the doctor did not consider him fit to appear in court......"

Amanda raised her head and made a look of sudden realization, and then gradually opened her fingers and said, "So which hospital can ensure that Batman's assistant is honestly lying on the hospital bed, and which court can stop the young heroes who can fight criminals in Gotham and ensure that they will not break in on the way to the trial?" ”

The director stood up, lifted the back of his suit, and began to pace the side of the sofa with his hands on his hips, and said, "Maybe we can apply for a psychiatric evaluation for him, as long as it is proved that his condition is not stable enough, maybe we can avoid his ......"

"You know, we didn't have a psychiatrist who would dare to give any Gotham people a psychiatric evaluation." Amanda shook her head and said, "We used this trick 12 years ago, and in order to make the Wayne Group compromise on the maintenance of the Gotham Bridge project, we sent a team of psychologists to inspect the operation of Arkham Psychiatric Hospital to make sure that there was no abuse of patients there. ”

"When we came back, the experts were unanimous in their praise because they were admitted to the hospital shortly after, and we never heard from them again."

The director pinched his temples with both hands and said, "There's a welfare home in Gotham, right?" Even if Jason Todd wasn't adopted by Bruce Wayne from the orphanage, the boy had at least been there, and the institution's improper dealings with the Wayne Group ......"

"I used this trick 8 years ago." Amanda sighed, took the water cup and poured herself water and said, "A team of agents entered the Gotham Welfare Institute to collect evidence, five people died in the gang fight, three died in the bombing, two were destroyed, only some tissue samples were found in the sewers, and one was caught by the children of the welfare home and cut off their heads......"

The director paused, thought carefully, stretched out a finger and shook it, and said, "Then the employees of Wayne Group ......"

"Wear a pair of pants with Bruce Wayne, and so do the shareholders."

"Manor housekeeper or governess......"

"There is no governess, Bruce Wayne has an old butler." Amanda beckoned to the subordinate next to her, and the young agent walked over and handed Amanda a copy of the document.

Amanda squinted and rolled her eyes and said, "He used to be the personal butler of Thomas Wayne, Bruce Wayne's father, and has been serving the Wayne family for over 40 years......"

The director's eyes lit up suddenly.

"That's him, such a butler must have a lot of secrets in Wayne's hands, as long as he can testify in court...... It's not that hard, right? We can afford any price. ”

But immediately after Amanda's words, like a basin of cold water, extinguished the enthusiasm he had just ignited.

"Alfred Pennyworth, served in the British MI5 during World War II ......"

"You want to say he's a spy?"

"Later, he was transferred to MI6......"

"Okay, Soviet spy."

Amanda closed the information, turned to look at the director and said, "You know now is not the time to think about personal vendettas, if you want to make a big deal about Bruce Wayne and his adopted son, the microphone will inevitably be handed over to Jason Todd, and the Gotham people dare to say anything." ”

The director gritted his teeth, limped back to the sofa and sat down, put his hands on his knees, and said, "Yes, we all know that there is a sewer there, and it must be full of filth and smelly, but you can't lift the lid just because no one knows about it, and let everyone smell it." ”

Amanda snorted coldly again, "Let's be realistic, if we choose to let things develop, the hyenas from the major newspapers will flock to fill every space around Jason Todd and Richard Grayson with microphones." ”

"If these two crazy Gotham teenagers say something they shouldn't say, New Jersey explodes in this hardcore deep blue state ticket office, you'll be kicked into the Atlantic Ocean by a donkey."

The director covered his forehead.

"Go ......," he said angrily, "go inform the media, don't report it nonsense, we need to talk to Bruce Wayne." ”

"Haven't you figured out the current situation?" Amanda sighed deeply, put the glass back on the table and said, "Wayne is threatening us, and he sees our weakness. ”

"As you said, everyone knows there's a in New Jersey, but there's one last fig leaf on that," she recalled, "As you said, everyone knows there's a in New Jersey, and that's Gotham's economic development. ”

"Over the years, whether we, the military, or Congress, we have compromised with the Wayne Group countless times, just because only Bruce Wayne has the courage to stir up and the ability to cover the dung pit so that the stench will not spread to the five continents."

"When people criticize Gotham, we say, Gotham is not poor, they have money, so they just choose their own way of life, it's their freedom, but we all know that it's fucking bullshit!"

"None of the talented politicians in the entire U.S. combined have a way to shovel out, so we can only count on Wayne to cover it up."

"Wayne's use of Gotham criminals to threaten people in Congress seems a bit radical, but we all know that he is just trying to negotiate conditions, and he will sit on the ground and raise the price first, so as to gain more initiative."

"We all know he's not going to really throw that group of criminals out there, because if he wanted to, he would have done it a long time ago, but no one knows if he really didn't want to be a fig leaf."

"Leaving Gotham, there's a lot to be done, and if Bruce Wayne decides to go one step further, no one can stop him."

"So we'd better not treat him with the idea that a little favor on him will make him stop." Amanda stood up, crossed her arms and said, "Don't you think this looks like a trap?" ”

The director looked up at her, stunned for a moment, then opened his eyes wide again, and said, "You don't mean to say that this is actually Bruce Wayne's intention, right?" ”

"Deliberately left that photo there, revealing his identity and his relationship with his adopted son, he knows that there are people waiting to catch him, whether it is us or the military, we will definitely seize the opportunity to beat the water dogs."

"We're going to help him heat up the field and work hard to get public opinion boiling, so that the world can see Wayne's little tail."

"When the eyes of the world are focused on this, he will let his adopted son reveal the darkness and injustice at the bottom of Gotham in media interviews, and tear the faces of our military and congressional veterans off the ground."

The director's tone became more and more alarmed, and finally it was almost turned into a scream, he stood up suddenly, and then asked a little confused, "But why did he do this?" What good is it for him to offend everyone? ”

"He offended everyone, but he will also be very famous, and he can also make a big wave of goodwill among the people."

"Gotham is very bad, but it is the Wayne Group that makes Gotham not poor and rotten, and then his adopted son from the bottom of Gotham will tell a wave of how much effort the Wayne Group has put in to save the city, and then tell the warm parent-child story between them, how many people do you think will not buy it?"

"But the media won't all ......"

The director couldn't go on, they could manipulate the media because Wayne didn't want to manipulate the media, and if Wayne did, everyone else wouldn't even think about it.

Again, there are few people in this world who will not be impressed by the Wayne Group.

The director grabbed his hair vigorously and said, "What kind of wind is he smoking?" Isn't it the same as the crazy people in Gotham......"

The Director's movements froze suddenly, and he slowly looked at Amanda, who also looked up at him, and both of them knew that they had deduced the same possibility.

Wayne doesn't want to be president, does he?!
