245. Eavesdropping, identity exposure
Although he knew early on that Serena was different from other women, Bruce still didn't expect that Selina would refuse so decisively.
Before he could speak, Roy said to him:
"Mr. Wayne, we're leaving, please excuse me."
After hearing Roy's words, Bruce deliberately feigned an unhappy expression.
However, he did nothing in the end, got out of the way, and watched Roy and Selina leave the tailor's shop.
After returning to the car, Selina said to Roy:
"Something is wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
Roy asked rhetorically.
"Although this tailor shop is frequented by famous Gotham families, even if Bruce Wayne wants to make clothes, he will not come in person."
"According to his style, he should have called the old tailor directly to Wayne Manor."
"Even if he's in a good mood today and plans to come over in person, he won't come alone."
Selina analyzed it with a serious face.
From Serena's point of view, Bruce today is indeed a bit unusual.
But from Roy's point of view, it's no surprise that Bruce would show up at the tailor's shop.
Although they had already met last night, with Bruce's style, he would definitely test him again with his bright identity.
"What do you think of Bruce Wayne?"
Roy asked Selina.
"It's not like that, a second ancestor who is idle and messes with flowers."
Selina said quickly.
"Is he so low?"
Roy said with a smile.
"It's not that I have a low opinion of him, it's that he's such a person."
Selina continued.
"Okay!"
"And what do you think of Batman?"
Batman?
Selina looked at Roy suspiciously, a little curious why he suddenly asked this.
After a few seconds, she said slowly:
"The Batman is not bad."
"Although I don't agree with some of his approaches, I can see that he does want to make Gotham's security environment better."
"However, I don't think he can solve the problem of law and order in Gotham at the root."
"If he's as strong as Met's Superman, he might be able to single-handedly bring Gotham back to life."
Unlike the ordinary citizens of Gotham, Selina, who has been exposed to Gotham's underground world since she was a child, knows very well why Gotham has become what it is today.
It is because of this that she does not fight criminals like Batman, but acts as an art thief who wanders the underground world.
"You said you dealt with Batman before, so do you know his true identity?"
Roy continued.
"Of course not."
"I've only worked with him a few times once in a while, and his true identity isn't that easy to find out."
"There are many people who want to know who he really is, and even some gang bosses pay a lot of money to investigate his identity."
"But until now, no one knows who he really is."
"The only thing that is certain now is that he is not short of money, and he has a lot of special equipment that cannot be found on the market."
Selina replied as she looked at Roy quizzically.
While she doesn't understand why Roy suddenly brings up Batman, her female instincts tell her that Roy seems to know something.
Roy didn't continue to sell to Selina, and said bluntly:
"Actually, it's not hard to guess Batman's identity, it's just that you all unintentionally ignored some things."
"Just three things: height, age and not lack of money, you can exclude a lot of people."
"What's more, he's already half of his face exposed."
Although Roy didn't say that Batman was Bruce Wayne directly, Selina immediately understood what he meant and retorted:
"No way, Bruce Wayne definitely can't be Batman."
"There have been media photos of Bruce Wayne and Batman appearing at the same time before, and more than once."
As soon as Selina finished speaking, Roy shook his head and said:
"Nothing is impossible."
"Only by wearing that outfit can anyone play Batman temporarily."
"How do you know that the Batman who was photographed was not played by someone else."
"If you don't believe me, I'll take you to the Batcave under Wayne Manor, which is Batman's secret base."
Speaking of which, Roy paused, then continued:
"By the way, to end up, Mr. Wayne, you don't actually need to let Ah Fu control the drone and install a bugging device in the car."
"If you want to know anything, you can ask me directly, instead of eavesdropping on it."
What?
After hearing Roy's words, Serena's expression suddenly changed.
However, compared to Bruce, who is still in the tailor shop, and Ah Fu in the Batcave, Serena's expression is relatively calm.
After being directly debunked by Roy's true identity, Bruce in the tailor shop first sighed.
Then, I left the tailor shop, went straight to the car, opened the back door, and sat in.
"How did you know that I asked Ah Fu to control the drone and installed a bugging device in the car?"
Bruce ignored Selina's gaze and asked Roy.
"I'm better at hearing."
"As soon as I entered the tailor's shop, I heard Ah Fu's voice."
Roy shrugged his shoulders and said casually.
Although the invisible headphones that Bruce was wearing were hard to spot, as soon as Ah Fu's voice rang out, he heard it.
"When did you know I was Batman?"
Bruce continued.
"It's not important."
"The cellar at Wayne Manor should have a lot of treasures, would you mind treating me to a drink?"
Roy asked rhetorically.
"Of course I don't mind."
Bruce quickly replied.
"Okay, let's talk while we drink."
With that, Roy started the car and drove towards Wayne Manor outside the city.
Wayne Manor.
One of Gotham's landmarks.
Although there are not many people who can go to Wayne Manor, this does not affect Wayne Manor as one of the landmarks of Gotham.
In terms of vintage, Wayne Manor has almost as long a history as Gotham.
After all, Gotham was established by the four major families, including the Wayne family.
After coming all the way to Wayne Manor, Roy casually looked at the main building of Wayne Manor.
Although this is the most important estate of the Wayne family, the estate is not as exaggerated as the outside world thinks.
Just looking at the appearance, Wayne Manor is not much different from other manors except for the fact that it occupies a little larger area.
But after entering the main building of the manor, you can clearly know what is called the heritage of the old family.
Antiques that other wealthy people might need to keep in a vault are placed here like ordinary ornaments.
Meeting room.
Roy and Selina sat together, and Bruce sat on the couch across from them.
In order not to let others disturb their conversation, Ah Fu, known as the "butler man", personally poured wine for Roy and the three of them.
After picking up the red wine glass and taking a sip, Roy nodded in satisfaction.
Although the Gotham Plaza Hotel can also offer fine wines, it is more than a little less than a little less than the treasures in the wine cellar of Wayne Manor.
"It tastes good, and it deserves to be treasured by the Wayne family."
Roy said with a serious face.
"Can we get down to business now?"
Bruce said immediately.
"Of course, what do you want to talk about?"
Roy replied.
"Where you came from, and why you came to Gotham!"
Bruce said quickly.
"I can't tell you about my origins, I have amnesia."
"Also, it's not that I want to come to Gotham, it's just that I just happened to fall near Gotham."
"As for the purpose, there is no long-term purpose, the short-term purpose is to turn the Falcone family into my vassals."
"Since you know that you're waiting for us at the tailor's shop, you should also know what happened at the Dead Fox Bar, so I won't explain why."
Roy said unhurriedly.
"Just because Alberto has a crush on Selina, you're going to make the Falcone family your vassals?"
Bruce asked, frowning.
"Any questions?"
"If he wants to snatch my woman, then of course I can also make the Falcone family my vassals."
"What's more, if you want to maintain the quality of life in Gotham, you can't have some money on you."
From Bruce and Selina's point of view, he may have been a little too overbearing.
But from Roy's point of view, it's not overbearing at all.
"Let's not talk about the Falcone family, how did you know that I was Batman?"
Bruce asked one of his top concerns.
When he decided to use Batman's identity to fight crime, he was mentally prepared that his identity would be exposed sooner or later.
But he still couldn't figure out how Roy saw through it.
