"Who are you! Why is it in my house? ”

For a moment, Francine almost subconsciously asked this sentence.

But she held back, knowing full well that asking this question would not only make no sense, but also make people laugh.

There's an unwritten rule in Gotham's East End.

If you come home and find a stranger waiting for you in the house, don't ask, don't think, there is only one thing you need to do now, and that is to turn around and run away immediately, and then pray that the person behind you will not be too accurate in marksmanship.

Having lived in the East End for so long, Francine is familiar with this unspoken rule.

In fact, that's what she did.

When he saw the two strange men in the room, Francine slammed the door behind him as fast as he could, then turned and ran backwards frantically.

However, just as Francine turned, another man appeared in front of her at some point, blocking her way.

"I have to say, you reacted quickly, Mrs. Lonstone, a woman who can live alone in the East End."

The man said approvingly.

Then, without waiting for Francine to react, he quickly stabbed Francie in the neck with his hand.

A tingling sensation instantly swept through Francine's body, followed by an irresistible drowsiness.

"Uh...... Well...... You ......"

Within seconds, Francine passed out.

Her last thought before she lost consciousness was, "They know who I am...... Why? It's not true that my identity has been revealed......"

At this time, the two men in the house also happened to chase out.

"This woman's hands and feet are so numb that she almost let her run away."

"Hmph, don't worry about it so much, hurry up and take people away, the boss is still waiting to see her."

The three men tied up Francine, wrapped duct tape around his mouth, and carried him quickly to a van that had been hidden not far away.

They are very skillful and fast, and it is obviously not the first time they have done such a thing.

With a burst of exhaust fumes, the van drove away and quickly drove away from Gotham's East End.

After some time, the van stopped in front of a warehouse in an unknown location.

The three kidnappers carefully checked whether there was an ambush around, then saw if anyone was following them, and then made sure it was safe before moving Francine out of the car and into the warehouse.

"Hmmm......"

I don't know how long it was, but Francine woke up in a dark room.

There were no lights in the room, not even windows, and of course it could have been blocked.

In short, the room was very dark, and in the real sense of the word, he couldn't see anything.

However, there is no sense of restraint in the eyes, so it should not be blindfolded.

"I was kidnapped, my kidnappers knew my identity, they were organized and premeditated operations, and their boss wanted to see me......"

This is the only information that Francine can be sure of at the moment.

Trample! Trample! Trample!

Suddenly, a slow but heavy footstep sounded in the room.

Judging by the voice, the other party is walking towards him.

Francine was so stressed that she didn't know what the purpose of her kidnappers was or what would happen to her next.

"Hello, Mrs. Longstone, I've wanted to see you for a long time."

A voice came into Francine's ears, and it was strange, not like a normal human voice, but rather like some kind of electronic synthesizer.

"I have to say that GCPD protects your identity very well, and it took me a month to find out your current address."

"Who are you? What do you want to do when you kidnap me? I don't have any money for ransom. ”

Francine forced himself to compose himself and asked.

"Okay, you're in a hurry, and it just so happens that I don't like to talk too much, so let's get straight to the point."

The electronic synthesized sound cuts to the point.

"I want human bat serum."

Hearing the other party's intentions, Francine said coldly: "You miscalculated, I don't have manta serum, and I don't have relevant research materials, you want human bat serum?" Then you should rob the GCPD's evidence room. ”

"Hehe, I appreciate your calmness, Mrs. Longstone, but I have no intention of asking for an answer from you."

Hearing this, Francine's pupils shrank instantly.

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing interesting, just need to ask you to stay here longer...... Until I got the recipe for the human bat serum. ”

At the same time, the scene of a charity banquet held by the Wayne Foundation.

Bruce, who was dressed in a high-end dress, took Dick and greeted the Gotham upper-class people who came to the banquet with a smile on their faces.

Bruce Wayne is very popular in Gotham, even more so than Kidd the Monster Thief.

It's just that the exuberant fame of the two does not belong to the same type.

Bruce is surrounded by a circle of beautiful ladies, and his humor often amuses all the girls.

As for Dick, he wasn't very good at dealing with such scenarios.

Although he had grown up on Wayne Manor and had been trained by Alfred in aristocratic manners, Dick had always been the circus boy at heart, and he disliked the formality and fussy manners of high society.

I hate to be smirked with those self-righteous rich people.

But this was what he had to do, so in desperation, Dick had to learn Bruce and find a group of young second-generation ladies around him.

"Hey girls, do you like magic? I happen to know some. ”

Dick said with a smile as he conjured a card with his empty hand.

No matter where you are, at any level, magic is an excellent means of pretending for young people.

Especially when your magic tricks are taught by a master himself, the effect of pretending to be several floors higher.

Naturally, Dick was welcomed by the girls.

Unlike his apparent attitude, although Bruce was chatting with the beauties around him, he had been secretly observing the actions of the powerful people in the field.

He will judge whether they can develop into partners by the expressions on their faces, the words they say, and the actions they do.

Or, to determine if they will become the next target of the Cloak Fighter.

Suddenly, Bruce's eyes were drawn to a man with gloomy face, who had blonde hair and was about the same age as Bruce.

He seemed out of place in the venue, and there was basically no one around him.

That's not why Bruce noticed him, there were a lot of lone travelers in the venue, and there was no shortage of this one.

The reason why this person caught Bruce's eye was because it was an acquaintance of his.

"Roman Siannis?"

Roman Siennis, the current head of the Siannis family, is the same as Bruce, and both parents died.

The difference is that Bruce's parents died younger, while Roman's parents died in a fire a year earlier.
