Oswald Cobot slammed his gun on the table with a snap.

The King of Gotham had a cold gaze and looked at the weak Young Master Bruce with a threatening look in his eyes.

To this, Bruce's response was-

Hop was placed on the table.

The child shook his feet and smiled lovingly at Copote.

King of Gotham: ......

"So, I wonder how Mr. Wayne got out of my fireplace?" Cobot didn't want to hurt Bruce, he just wanted to know how many people had been punched into his secret residence: "It's funny, I didn't even know my house had a secret room." ”

He'd checked it many times.

"It's really interesting." Bruce smirked, "I was just kidnapped by some shameless people." Now it's hard to escape, but I didn't expect that the first person I saw was actually Mr. Copote. ”

Bruce suspects that this has something to do with Colbert. They leave GCPD one after the other, and the Penguin celebrates with great fanfare, while he is nearly killed at the end of the secret passage in the Gotham King's residence.

The only question is what exactly Copote can gain from this.

Or is it ...... Someone instructed him to do this?

"Sounds horrible. But this is Gotham. Colbert gave a worried smirk, "It's great to see Mr. Wayne safe and sound!" I have had the pleasure of meeting your parents, they are the nicest people I have ever met, and perhaps the souls of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne are blessing you. ”

Bruce's face froze. He was still not used to being mentioned about his parents, and he still used this joking tone. But he knew very well that the penguin was just trying to provoke him.

He's in a very dangerous situation, it's a lair of criminals.

Maybe it's still a gathering place for the murderers who kidnapped him and tried to kill him.

But Colbert succeeded.

Bruce had a hard time controlling the anger in his heart.

"Yes, my parents are the kindest people and they have contributed to Gotham remarkably. Just like the Copotes," Bruce said, "and although I didn't get a chance to meet the ancestors of the Copotes, they also imprinted their traces on the land of Gotham. I've heard my dad say that what is now DeRank's Garden Square used to be called Copot Square. ”

These words are simply sticking a knife in the penguin's heart.

The Copotes had long since quit Gotham high society, so Bruce didn't get a chance to meet them.

That beautiful garden square has long since been bought and renovated, and Copote's surname has disappeared.

The penguin's hand touched the gun, and the corners of his mouth twitched nervously.

Bruce lifted the baseball bat he had been carrying in his hand.

The mascot sitting on the table rubbed his eyes: "Dad, I'm so sleepy, when are we going to sleep?" ”

The penguin-man's hand on the gun instantly retracted and rested on the wound on his chest.

"Butch! Didn't you hear what our distinguished little guest said? The penguin man angrily threw a tantrum at Butch Giltz behind him: "Why don't you take Mr. Hope to rest?" The last few words almost popped out between his teeth.

Then he turned his head and smiled stiffly at Bruce, "Mr. Wayne, Bruce, I don't think our conversation needs to be heard by a child?" ”

Bruce wasn't stupid either: "I thought we didn't have anything to talk about, penguins. I was kidnapped and then inadvertently helped your villa discover a secret passage. Coincidence and luck, that's the whole truth we're going to talk about, isn't it? ”

"Sounds reasonable," said Copote, who still did not dare to forcibly take someone away without Hope's consent, and Butch restrained himself: "But Mr. Wayne has broken into my house by mistake and disturbed my guests, and I have to give an account to my friends." ”

Otherwise, anyone will be able to break into the penguin people's nest in the future.

"Indeed, then please help me convey my apologies to your friend, Mr. Copote." Bruce took Hope off the table and hugged him in his arms: "I think it's time for me to take my leave, my butler is still waiting for me." ”

Bruce felt that something was not right, and the Penguins didn't seem to have any particular intention of killing him.

It sounded like he really didn't know that there was a secret passage hidden in the fireplace in his house.

Cobot sat where he was, and without his nod, no one dared to let Master Wayne go.

Bruce's eyes were straight on Colbert.

The atmosphere was at a stalemate for a while.

In fact, the penguin himself didn't figure out what he should do with Bruce Wayne. He wanted to kill this rich young master directly, but he also took care of the big Wayne enterprise. He himself has not yet gained a foothold, and it is really not wise to provoke a strong enemy.

It's not that Wayne Enterprise will do anything to him for the sake of the little master. Just to express his stance to the outside world, Wayne Enterprise will also call the police to thoroughly investigate the missing young master.

But it's even more inappropriate to let people go so easily.

Bruce walked out of here safely with the child in his arms, and he didn't want to be the king of Gotham.

Butch Geerts stepped forward: "BOSS, why don't you let Mr. Wayne rest here first?" ”

Butch has never seen the power of little Hope, but what can make the boss so jealous is definitely not an ordinary character.

The penguin man thought for a moment, and then pretended to say, "You're right, Butch." Honorable Mr. Wayne is here at the Humble House, and we should be well entertained. Bruce, my friend, why don't you stay here for one night and let me entertain you?" ”

The penguin man is also cautious, and he has determined that he will suffer if he does something to hurt Hope.

And what if not to hurt him, but to imprison him?

Bruce subconsciously wanted to refuse: "I think I need to go home as soon as possible, and Agent Gordon must be looking for me as well - the place where I was kidnapped happened to be in front of the GCPD." ”

"Don't worry, I'll let them know tomorrow." Cobot decides to save himself a night to think about what to do with Bruce Wayne and Hope.

He didn't hurt Hope, so nothing happened.

The two were at a standoff for a few more minutes.

"Dad, are you playing 123 Wooden Man?" The kid put his arm around Bruce and put his face on his father's neck, and his voice sounded sleepy: "But Hope is sleepy." Dad, shall we go to bed? ”

He reached out again and rubbed his eyes, yawning, tears hanging from the corners of his eyes.

Bruce patted the kid on the head, "Mr. Copote, you heard that, too. The little ones need to rest. I think it's better to go back to Wayne Manor. ”

Hope glanced back at the penguin, but couldn't lift his spirits.

He twisted his head back and placed it on his father's shoulder, then rubbed his face.

Get a comforting pat from Bruce.

Cobot smiled: "It's okay for the two of you to stay here to rest, I guess my manor won't let you down." ”

He's pretty much certain now that as long as he doesn't do anything to hurt Hope, he'll be fine.

Bruce suddenly thought that this was the villa that Copote had not been buying for a long time, and it was obviously impossible for the umbrella boy not long ago to have this financial strength.

At the other end of the villa is his 'place of death'. Obvious traps that open when you step on a floor tile, plus a deliberately cleaned passage......

"Mr. Copote," Bruce said suddenly, "believe it or not, we're all caught up in a great conspiracy right now. We have a common enemy. "Alfred said, don't panic when facing threats and enemies, watch carefully, show weakness appropriately, and find the right time to fight back.

"Oh?" Copote was curious to see what the weak young master had discovered: "I thought Mr. Wayne was treating me as an enemy. ”

"To be honest, it did at first." Hope, on Bruce's shoulder, was already asleep before he knew it. He lowered his voice and continued, "It's just that it occurred to me that the secret passage here leads to the place where the killer killed me. Mr. Copote, why did your house lead to a villa that almost became the scene of a murder? Oh no, I'm wrong, it's already a murder scene over there. I just accidentally stepped on a floor tile and somehow opened the passageway. Lucky, isn't it? ”

Copote's face darkened, and he glanced at Butch behind him, who knowingly led the man closer to the fireplace.

He wasn't a fool, and of course he could understand what Master Wayne meant.

Bruce Wayne wasn't just kidnapped, he almost had his ticket ripped up.

The ticket tearing spot is on the other side.

If this incident is not a coincidence, it is deliberately framed.

He has traitors under him.

His address and itinerary were leaked to someone, who designed his villa to be the end of a secret passage in the crime scene. What will the stupid cops say then? Oh, it's another crime committed by Colbert.

If he really did it, it wouldn't be fine.

But this matter has nothing to do with him.

Even it is very likely that it was not a coincidence that he bought the house in the first place, and someone deliberately led him to do so.

Cobott remembered a lot for a moment, including the seller of the house who had whispered in his ear that some aristocrat had once lived here. He was desperate to elevate his status, so a luxury property of the great nobles of the last century did appeal to him.

The timing was just right, and he didn't have time to consolidate his power. Even if they are framed, it is difficult to find out in the short term.

"If you don't mind, Hope and I really want to take a break." Bruce looked at Copote's gloomy face and smiled innocently, "I think you should be safe here." And, I now see us as a partnership. ”

Bruce certainly didn't want to work with the Penguins, but right now he didn't have any communication tools on him, and he didn't have any weapons. He also took a cub with him and fell directly into Colbert's lair.

Although the child has some strange abilities, he, as a 'father', is not prepared to put the child in a dangerous situation.

"Of course, Mr. Wayne." "But I think my house is a bit of a mess, and I'm afraid it's not a good day to entertain you," said Copote. I will call Mr. Alfred Pennyworth and ask him to come in and pick you up. ”

He kept a lot of secrets in this house. Now that someone already knows that Bruce Wayne is here, it is not a good thing to be searched by the police or discovered by other enemies.

Cobot calculated in his mind that he probably wouldn't have a chance to sleep tonight, that a lot of things needed to be moved overnight, and that he would have to kill a few idiots to deter the guys who were about to move. The scene of death across the tunnel still needed to be inspected by him.

Let me figure out who's behind it, and I'm going to kill him. Copote gritted his teeth and squeezed a smile into Bruce.

Young Master Wayne also smiled politely.

Little Hope frowned in his father's arms, and seemed to be sleeping unsoundly.

Somebody has been talking.

The other party's voice was hoarse and his tone was desperate.

“I hope……”

Who's calling Hope? The child thought to himself.
