"You're the same as before, Alfred, is Bruce here too?"

Looking at Alfred, Vicky had an expression of old acquaintance she had seen for years.

"No, Master Bruce has something important to do, so he didn't come to participate."

Alfred shook his head slightly.

"This kid ......"

Vicky turned her gaze to Dick, looked at the teenager who was already tall enough to look up slightly, and asked in disbelief, "Could you be Richard Grayson?" It's grown so big in a blink of an eye, when was the last time we met, three years ago? Or four years ago? ”

"It's been almost six years, Miss Weil."

Dick smiled.

"It's really you, I didn't expect it to be so long......"

Vicky said nostalgically.

Many years ago, Vicky Vale and Bruce Wayne were in a relationship, not in a simple physical relationship, but in a real and serious relationship.

All right...... At least nominally.

On the day Dick's parents died, Bruce accompanied Vicky to the circus, and Vicky witnessed the whole process of Dick's adoption by Bruce.

At first, Bruce and Vicky got along well, but the relationship didn't last long, just like every romance Bruce has.

Although, despite the end of the relationship, Bruce and Vicky still go on a date from time to time......

"Have you had dinner, Miss Ville?"

Alfred looked at Vicky, who was alone, and asked, "I mean, if you don't mind, you can sit with us." ”

"Thank you for your kindness, Alfred, I'd love to catch up with you, but I've already eaten, and I'm actually here to find Gray Letard Ethan."

Vicky declined Alfred's invitation.

"Grey Letard Ethan? Is that the general manager of Ethan International Shipping Company? I heard that the 'Pink Dream' diamond at the auction was his. ”

Dick asked, somewhat curious.

"Yes, it's him, I have a lot of questions I want to interview him face-to-face."

Vicky affirmed.

"What's the problem? Does it have anything to do with Kidd the Thief? Or is it something to do with the Penguin people's rumors? ”

Dick pressed on.

Vicky looked Dick up and down, smiled and declined, "As a child raised by Bruce, your curiosity is almost as good as his, so I have to tell you the same thing, these are journalists' trade secrets, and I can't tell you any details." ”

"Well, I hope I didn't embarrass you."

Dick was disappointed.

"Alright guys, I've got to go now, there's still half an hour before the auction starts, I don't know if I can find Mr. Ethan before it starts."

Vicky looked at her watch and said, and left in a hurry.

"Good luck, Miss Ville."

Alfred and Dick cheered behind her.

As Vicky walked away, the two of them prepared to sit back at the table.

"Huh?"

At this point, Dick suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something more on the floor below the tabletop.

Leaning down, it turned out to be the empty plate that the waiter had just knocked off, and because the plate fell right under the table, Dick and Alfred didn't see it when they stood up to talk to Vicky.

In addition, the waiter ran too quickly before, and the two didn't pay much attention to the empty plate still on the ground.

"It's just that I accidentally bumped into someone passing by, and the waiter would be scared to be like that, so you can imagine how ...... the usual style of those noble children is."

Dick crouched down to pick up the empty tray that was on the floor, thinking dissatisfied.

And when he picked up the empty plate, Dick's face changed instantly.

I saw a white card appear on the floor that was buckled by the dinner plate!

"Is there anything under the table, Master Richard?"

Alfred asked strangely when he saw Dick leaning down under the table and never coming out.

"Ah Fu, we just met Kidd the Strange Thief!"

Dick stepped out from under the table with a solemn face, the white card in his hand.

"It's just not clear which one is Kidd, the waitress or Miss Ville."

"I heard you right, what did you just say?"

Hearing Dick say that he blamed Kidd, Alfred's expression suddenly became solemn.

Dick looked around, there was basically no one nearby, and the Vicky and waiter who had been here not long ago were long gone.

He placed the card on the table so that both himself and Alfred could see the words on it.

"Dear Robin,

Here and now, I am among you, come to me, bird by the bat, and if you can find me before the bell rings, I will surprise you.

Kidd the Strange Thief"

"Master Richard, this is!"

Alfred stood up from his chair in shock and covered the words on his card as fast as he could.

At the same time, he kept looking left and right, as if he was afraid that others would see the contents of the card.

"Don't get excited, Ah Fu, I just confirmed, no one is paying attention to us now."

Dick said in a deep voice.

"Kidd the Strange Thief, he knows who you are!"

Alfred said in a low voice.

Dick took a deep breath to calm himself down and whispered back, "I don't want to believe it either, but it turns out he does know I'm Robin." ”

"How is this possible? Kidd the Monster Thief had only seen Robin once, how would he know that Robin was you? ”

Alfred was incredulous.

"I don't know, apart from Bruce, you and Barbara, only the heroes of the Justice League know that I am Robin, and Kidd the Thief will not know who I am."

Dick's brow furrowed, his mind contemplating all possibilities.

Suddenly, Alfred hid the card in his clothes and said to Dick with a worried face, "Kidd the Strange Thief knows who you are, which means that the identity of Master Bruce is likely to be exposed." ”

"It's so dangerous to stay here! Master Richard, we need to get out of here now! ”

"No, Ah Fu, if we leave now, we will be in the hands of Kidd, the thief."

Dick shook his head, "This card is the provocation of the thief Kidd to me, he wants to test whether I dare to stay after learning that my identity is revealed, if I stay, I will play a game with him to find someone, if I retreat, it will be equivalent to admitting defeat in the game." ”

"Have you figured it out, Master Richard?"

Alfred stared at Dick and asked, "Do you know what awaits you if Kidd the Monster tells someone who you are?" ”

"I'm pretty sure Kidd wouldn't do that, at least not yet, or all the criminals in Gotham would have come and killed me."

Dick said seriously.

"Kidd the Strange Thief wants me to play this game with him, so I'll be with him to the end!"
