Chapter 185: Mother Box Message
"You ......"
Everyone was dumbfounded by the changes in front of them.
First, Mr. Blair was angry and wanted to beat a middle school child, and then Mr. Bruce Wayne, who was going and returned, was even more irritable and broke the arm of Mr. Blair, the richest businessman in Philadelphia.
"Cool!" After a brief pause, Billy was the first to react: "This is amazing. ”
He was so carried away that he pulled his stinky foot out of the shoes he hadn't fully put on, and then tried to stomp on Blair, who was lying on the ground, an act that of course was picked up from behind by his adoptive father, Victor Vasquez.
"Hey, let go of me!"
Billy fluffed wildly with his outstretched hands, but he couldn't change himself from being dragged back forcefully by the bespectacled middle-aged man.
"It's crazy!"
"It's not fun at all." But then he heard the voice of his adoptive father, Victor Vasquez.
After pulling Billy behind, he stepped forward with Principal Beech to pick up Blair, who was lying on the ground.
"This is intentional harm." The middle-aged man with glasses said very seriously.
He was undaunted to make eye contact with burly Bruce Wayne. It was only when they were close enough that Billy realized that his adoptive father was half a head shorter than Mr. Wayne.
Only then did Billy realize that the atmosphere was a little stagnant.
"Get out of the way." He heard Mr. Wayne say to his adoptive father, "Don't get in my way...... Mr. ”
Billy almost felt like his heart was skipping a beat. Mr. Wayne was so intimidating when he squinted, like a giant bat spreading its wings.
"I'm sorry, I can't do it."
But his adoptive father replied to the burly rich man.
He spoke clearly, argued with reason, and did not retreat half a point:
"You can't attack Mr. Blair anymore. He really deserves to be punished, or to pay the price, but not in this way, not in front of the child. ”
Billy starts to worry that his adoptive father is going to get beaten up - damn it, why should I worry about this? But it's a homestay......
"Oh my gosh, my arm is broken......"
Billy looked down and saw Mr. Blair moaning in pain.
His arm was unusually twisted, and it hurt to look at. His proud face turned pale from the intense pain, and he bowed to the ground like a prawn.
Billy sighed.
Well, he knows it's cowardly, right? Obviously, the man lying on the ground wanted to attack him just now, but now he wants to speak for this scumbag......
Billy shook his head.
He was a sensible child. Even though he acts like he doesn't know anything about it, he still knows where the boundaries of doing things are after dozens of host families over the years.
He can fight with Mr. Blair's son, and even scold him directly because of his young age.
But directly twisted the arm...... This is clearly beyond the boundaries of a general conflict.
Perhaps Mr. Bruce Wayne attacked Mr. Blair out of righteous indignation, but would he have stayed in Philadelphia all the time? No, but Mr. Blair will.
He got ...... He had to think about his adoptive father.
So he hesitated: "Mr. Wayne, you ......"
"Mr. Blair, are you going to call the police?"
But Billy heard Mr. Wayne's voice the next moment: "Tell me directly, and this kid...... Your name is Billy Batson, right? ”
"Ah, yes. Yes, sir. Billy stumbled a little.
He lowered his head, and from his angle, he could just see the expression on Mr. Blair's face.
The bitter resentment made Billy shudder. It was the first time he had seen someone look like that. Although it was difficult for him to determine what this expression meant due to his age, he still felt extremely uncomfortable.
But soon such an expression melted away on Mr. Blair's face.
Billy saw that when he turned his head to face Mr. Wayne, he had a completely different face.
"No, I'm not going to call the police at all."
His face showed a flattering look, and he forcibly swallowed a trace of pain into his stomach, like a pug: "Please rest assured. ”
"Huh?" Billy said, "But your arms are broken!" ”
"I broke it myself!" Mr. Blair's face actually showed a look of anxiety: "It has nothing to do with Mr. Wayne!" ”
"Mr. Blair, if you want to call the police, I can ......"
Principal Beech lifted him up from the ground, and before he could finish his sentence, Blair, who had both arms broken, desperately broke free.
Blair's decision was very decisive, and since he was determined not to fall out with Bruce Wayne, he followed through to the end.
He barely squeezed out a smile and pretended to laugh easily: "I did make a mistake this time, I admit it, hahahaha!" ”
Smiling and smiling, his face was a little distorted, he had always been pampered and had never suffered such a great sin.
"Hahahahahaha, I broke my arm, Mr. Wayne and I are friendly partners, hahahaha, we have a great relationship!"
When he talked nonsense with his eyes open to the last sentence, he tried his best to control himself from showing a gritted tooth appearance.
Then he saw a smile turn back on Bruce Wayne's lips.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief.
This hurdle is passed, as long as the cooperation of Wayne Group is not lost, then the loss is not too serious. It is not in vain that he is masochistic.
He's so stupid! Knowing that Mr. Bruce Wayne had just left, he was actually playing tricks in the principal's office, cooperating with the Wayne Group, and the prospect of becoming a bigger billionaire made his emotions too excited to tolerate the slightest disobedience.
As a result, Mr. Wayne saw that it was almost self-defeating, and such an act was just, too, too stupid.
But fortunately, there is a remedy.
"I'm not going to call the police." He repeatedly promised, "Absolutely not." ”
"Really? But I'm going to call the police. ”
“……?”
Click.
Mr. Blair's smile froze on his face.
Before he could react, he found that his severed arms were abruptly handcuffed by Mr. Bruce, and then in the next second, several black suits rushed in, followed by two policemen.
Blair stared blankly at the one in the black suit who walked up to Bruce Wayne's side: "Mr. Wayne, thank you for helping us catch him." ”
"You ......"
Mr. Blair had a vague conjecture in his mind, but he did not want to believe it.
"Hey, Mr. Bruce, you're kidding, it's ......"
Looking at Mr. Bruce Wayne, there was still a smile on his face, a smile that had made him think he had passed the test a few seconds ago, but now it only gave him a chill to the bone.
Bruce Wayne didn't answer his question.
"Mr. Wayne? Mr. Wayne? ”
When the two policemen approached, he finally broke out, with fear in his voice:
"Why are you arresting me? Who are you? ”
"What are you doing? Ouch! ”
He screamed in pain, and two policemen who caught him one on the left and one on the right touched his severed arm. He didn't dare to move anymore, just stared blankly at Bruce Wayne.
"Mr. Wayne, what's going on?"
Then the next second, Blair saw the black suit next to Bruce Wayne pull out his ID: "IRS." ”
"i.e. Internal Revenue Service, IRS,"
The other party deliberately explained in detail what he was doing, which was more like a mockery than an explanation: "Affiliated with the U.S. Treasury Department." ”
And then immediately after the singing and harmony, it was Bruce Wayne's voice:
"While I was negotiating business with you on behalf of the Wayne Group, Mr. Blair, I had the misfortune to find out that your company had a tax problem, and it was very large. The kind that's enough to send you and your accountants to jail for more than ten years. ”
Blair turned his head to look at Bruce Wayne.
"How can a large company like Wayne Group cooperate with a company suspected of tax evasion? So I reported you backhandedly. ”
"And because you have the ability and habit of holding a gun, in order to prevent you from resisting arrest, Mr. Bruce Wayne volunteered to use his identity to let you down your guard, so that you can be arrested more easily-"
"In fact, such a thing is not compliant, but it is also compliant." Blair heard Wayne say, "I got some friends to help, and then donated 100 million dollars, and they finally relented and let me get through the addiction of arrest with my own hands." ”
He couldn't get enough of it: "It's so interesting! ”
"How dare you, how dare you ......"
Mr. Blair was speechless with anger: "You asked me for those documents in the name of cooperating with my company, but they are actually ......"
"That's right, Mr. Bruce gave it all to us. Otherwise, with your bookkeeping ability, we wouldn't have a chance to catch you so easily. ”
The words of the black suit made Blair want to vomit blood even more: "But you are so stupid as to show Mr. Wayne your real accounts, which is equivalent to confessing directly to us." ”
"You ......" Blair turned his head desperately: "You...... You can't ruin your credibility because of me, Mr. Wayne. ”
He said very quickly: "I trusted you to hand over my company's data to you, but you directly handed them over to the tax bureau and sent me to prison!" ”
He said quickly: "No one will dare to submit real data to you in the future, because all companies will have tax problems to a greater or lesser extent, and you are destroying your reputation-"
He quickly tried to save himself: "I apologize to you, I sincerely apologize, but this should not have been my end!! ”
In the end, he could no longer maintain his apparent politeness, and roared hoarsely: "How dare you, how dare you?!" ”
But in the next second, he was screamed by the police with electric shock batons, one left and one right, regardless of his broken arm, and carried him away.
"Poof." Billy heard Mr. Bruce sneer.
"I can't even do legal tax avoidance, do you still want to cooperate with the Wayne family?"
He turned his head and smiled kindly at the remaining three people present.
He was gentle as a brown bear, and then held out his hand to Billy's adoptive father, "I'm Bruce Wayne, and it's nice to meet you." ”
Billy's adoptive father, Victor, stretched out his hand a little sarcastically:
"Victor Vasquez."
"Mr. Vasquez, your courage has made me look sideways." Victor, the adoptive father, heard Mr. Bruce say, "Not everyone has the courage to contradict me. ”
"Oh my God, Mr. Wayne, didn't you come to our school because of Mr. Blair, the richest man in Philadelphia?"
Principal Biecge's voice broke the conversation between them.
The red-haired old woman covered her forehead, feeling that what was happening in front of her made him faint.
"Such as ...... If it weren't for Mr. Blair, why did you come to our little high school? ”
"Oh, don't be humble, Fawcett High School is probably the best high school in Philadelphia, and what I'm here for......"
Everyone's eyes followed Chen Tao and stopped at Billy Batson, who looked confused.
"You're for Billy?"
Headmaster Piech opened his mouth, and what had happened in the space of a few minutes had made him scarcely know what to say.
"Mr. Bruce, but he's just an ordinary ......"
Adoptive father Victor Vasquez wanted to say something, but was stopped by Chen Tao's hand.
"Of course not, Billy, you know exactly why I'm coming to you, aren't you?"
Billy felt his heart pounding.
“…… Solomon's wisdom, Hercules' strength, Atlas' endurance, Zeus's divine power, Achilles' courage, Mercury's speed......"
The old wizard's voice exploded in Billy's ears, making him feel slightly dizzy.
"The world needs you, Billy, and the world needs your strength. Just like Hercules and Achilles were ancient heroes. ”
He heard Mr. Bruce Wayne say, "Are you sure you're going to listen to me here?" ”
"No, no, Mr. Wayne."
Billy immediately stood up, then looked at his adoptive father with pleading eyes, "Please, Victor, let's talk about this in another place." ”
"You ......" Victor, the adoptive father, was also in a state of confusion, and he looked at Bruce Wayne, who was standing there, and then at his adopted son.
I have never felt so strange about the world in front of me.
"Okay." He said.
"But as your guardian, you must explain this to me afterwards."
Dingding......
But at this moment, Chen Tao's communication rang.
Chen Tao walked to the side.
As soon as he connected, he heard the other side say:
"Batman, new news, we've found the mother box."
"The government has been withholding information from us, but we have been able to track it down."
The voice of the former original Robin, the current Nightwing, Dick Grayson's ears sounded in Chen Tao's ears: "It's now in the American Starlab. ”
"The scientist who is working on the mother box is called Silas Stone."
"And his son, Victor Stone, is one of those targets you told us to keep a close eye on."
