15 Chapter 15

The weirdo limped in front with little Hope on his shoulder, and the spider cub chased frantically behind. One big and one small staged a desperate escape in the dark alleys of Nahe Island.

The guy who robbed Hope was not very sharp on his legs and feet, and he ran crookedly, but he was a long-legged adult, and the super spider cub was now just a small short leg. Therefore, the two are evenly matched, and the five-year-old cub hangs behind the adult and chases after him, but never catches up.

"Stop! Put him down! Peter followed the strange man closely, but the strange man seemed to be more familiar with the cruising alleys, and he would always cause trouble for him by knocking over the trash cans on the side of the road. Peter was almost smudged with garbage, he wasn't as unparticular as the man in front of him.

The penguin man is really not particular, he just wants to get Hope now. Today was a unique opportunity, and God knows how excited he was when he saw Hope on Naho Island - so excited that his hands and feet trembled.

He needs Hope so much!

But the little imp in the back is really strange and in the way.

In fact, the penguin people can't figure out what the relationship between the child in the back and Hope is. He knew that Hope had been adopted by Bruce Wayne, and that the kid behind him didn't look like any different from the other street children on Naho Island. At first glance, the two don't look like good friends in the same circle.

Even if the children make friends and don't talk about circles, they don't look like they have intersections.

A dirty, tattered-clad stinky imp with a delicate young master in a shirt and twill suit shorts and small leather shoes?

No kidding, he'd rather believe that Hope ran away from home, or that the little ghost in the back kidnapped him at all!

"Go away, Stinky Imp!" Cobot staggered forward, turned his head and glared at Peter, "Get out of here!" ”

Cobot actually felt that he didn't need to be afraid of the child, but he didn't want to attract attention right now.

"I'm not going to let you take Hope!" Peter stomped the wall as he flipped in the air with a bouncing force that the penguin people couldn't comprehend, quickly closing the distance between the two.

I didn't see Peter's Spider-Man operation, but the penguin man who heard the whirring wind behind him really didn't understand what the stinky imp behind him was thinking. Aren't the homeless children on the island always nosy and bullying the weak and afraid of the hard? Where did this little ghost come from, and how dare he go head-to-head with adults?

Little Hope stayed quietly and obediently on the penguin's shoulder and did not speak, his red eyes looking curiously at his surroundings.

The child was lying on the penguin's shoulder, and he was actually in a good mood.

I don't think I have to go to school today!

All right!

So why did humans invent schools? Hope didn't understand. He just wanted to be happy every day at Wayne Manor, to be fed by Alfred and his father's bedtime story that was not scary lately.

The penguin's crooked running posture turned Hope upside down, but the child didn't mind, and even wanted to sleep a little bit. Dad and his 'fox friends' used to run around Hope like this, especially Uncle Lucifer, who would even throw Hope on the treetops and hang it on the crystal chandeliers in the hall. Of course, within ten minutes he would be scolded by the elusive Lucien by the collar and thrown out.

The term 'fox buddy' was secretly learned by Hope and Lucian. He didn't quite understand what it meant, as the word came out of Lucian's mouth with words like 'fooling around', 'not doing his job', 'going back to hell', and so on, which made Hope even more confused. But Gagaga had secretly told Hope that the word was just another word for 'good friend', and that it wasn't a big deal.

But intuition told Hope that the word could not appear in front of Lucian.

However, Hope now has his own 'fox friend', which is Alfred, who always feeds him cookies and chocolate cake. Although Ah Fu seemed to have the same look as Lucian when he heard the word come out of Hope's mouth.

Alas.

The child sighed unconsciously, and this breath was chopped off by the penguin people.

He missed Lucian and Quack a little. It's a little difficult to make friends with humans, and most of the time Hope doesn't quite understand what the other pups in the kindergarten and Alfred are thinking.

More than half a month has passed since Hope found his father. But during this time, Lucian and Gagaga did not appear once. Hope had asked Dad many times where Lucian and Gagaga had gone, but Daddy Bruce would never answer the question. Even Ah Fu always shook his head.

Hope is a little sad that he finds his father, but loses Lucian and Quack again. Is he going to collect Gagack and Lucien the same way Daddy Bruce collected the Grey Ghost poster?

"Stop!" Peter was still chasing after him, and he certainly couldn't have watched Hope be kidnapped in front of his eyes.

In the eyes of the spider cub, little Hope was obviously frightened, and couldn't even cry, so he could only stiffly be held in his arms by the criminal in front of him.

Poor boy, he must be sad!

But that's okay, Spider-Man is here!

β€œshit!” Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, Cobot cursed angrily, it seems that he can't take Hope away if he doesn't solve the little ghost behind him today.

That's not going to work, Hope is his only hope now.

In fact, when Hope was sticking to his father at Wayne Manor, the new King of Gotham also experienced a series of thrilling ...... Crime.

The first is that his mother was kidnapped, and he himself was threatened by his mother's abductors to do a series of bad things. This includes, but is not limited to, arson, bank robberies, theft of museum treasures, and murder of rookie mayoral candidates. Immediately afterward, his loyal hench, Butch Giltz, betrayed him and removed him from his position as boss.

Damn Theo Gellerven! Damn Butch Giltz!

Copote hated Theo Gellerven, the bastard who was playing on his weaknesses, and it was this guy who kidnapped his mother! But Mr. Gallevin is now one of the mayoral candidates, and the most vocal. Usually he pretends to be sanctimonious, plays the public and the media around, does charity and gives speeches everywhere, and even the old men of high society actually think that he is a rare kind-hearted person, a clear stream of Gotham.

But in reality, everything is playing on him!

All of Copote's recent horrific crimes have been instigated by this one. But he couldn't help but listen, because his only weakness was in the hands of this 'benevolent and heroic' mayoral candidate.

The penguin people still don't know what this man's purpose is. He came to Gotham with a huge fortune in his hands, could it be that he just wanted the thankless position of a Gotham mayor?

Theo Galevin recently settled in Gotham as a wealthy foreigner, and he won the favor of the entire high society by saving many people from an attacked high society dinner. He is now hailed by the Gotham Daily as a rare hero who guards Gotham's conscience. But in Colpote's opinion, Gellerven's hands were dirtier than the criminals who crawled out of Naho Island, and even Arkham Asylum could be blackened by the sludge that flowed out of his heart!

Originally, Colbert just planned to listen to Gellerven's words first, pretending to cooperate, and then he turned his face after finding an opportunity to rescue his mother, and gave Gellerven a slap in the face. It's a pity that plans don't change as quickly as they do.

Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with Hope. Hope and Master Wayne inexplicably helped him discover the secret passage of the manor, and after leaving his villa, his paranoia was out of control, and every one of his men around him looked like spies and betrayers. In the end, he decided to test it himself secretly - to test everyone.

Copote is a multi-faceted agent who single-handedly maneuvers between Fish Mooney, Maroney, and Falcone, and it is not by luck that he was able to climb from an umbrella boy to the position of the king of Gotham. So he quickly discovers that something is wrong with his subordinate Butch Giltz.

He knew it.

Even his hypnosis of Butch will fail sooner or later, and no one is as reliable as himself.

But he was still a step too late. Butch took control of Gotham's underworld before he did, but he was forced to flee by his former men. Not only that, but he didn't have time to find his mother's place.

That's why he's desperate to meet Hope.

He knew that Bruce Wayne was able to escape from the encirclement of four professional killers that day because of Hope. This child is the legendary 'lucky one', the kind of lucky person who can turn evil into good fortune and turn danger into disaster no matter what happens!

If Hope had been around, maybe he would have found his mother if he had shown him the way!

He is no longer the king of Gotham and is of no use to Gellerven, so his mother has become a chicken rib in Gellerven's hands. And what exactly the ruthless mayoral candidate will do, Copote knows very well.

He was pressed for time.

But now he wants to take Hope, and he faces a small problem. It's the same unusual imp behind him.

How can a normal five-year-old child run so far with him! Even if he runs like a lame penguin, it's not a reason for a five-year-old cub to chase after him!

Could this kid be James Gordon's illegitimate son? Penguin people think out of place with different ideas.

After all, in the whole of Gotham, apart from James Gordon, what idiot would catch up with him without regard for his own safety when he knew that the other party was a criminal? Damn James Gordon, he simply set a bad example for the kids of Gotham! Isn't it good that this group of imps is as cold and numb as before?

Ahead was the end of the alley, and Cobot glanced at his surroundings, and it was fine, no one.

He stopped and turned around.

Hope was about to fall asleep, and he opened his eyes in a daze, yawning.

Peter panted and followed, blocking behind Copote, his small figure looking a little funny.

The Spider-Man cub quickly calmed his breathing - the shrinking body still had a certain effect on him, after all, the predatory ability of young spiders was still slightly inferior to that of adult spiders.

"You let go of Hope!" Peter's milky voice.

"You let go of Hope~" Copote pinched his throat and learned the voice of a child: "Little ghost, this is not an amusement park, go back to your garbage bin to pick up the garbage, do you still want to learn from Gordon?" How old are you, five or six? Do you know who I am? I'll poke you to death with my little thumb. ”

Peter:......

The last guy who spoke so harshly at him was already wrapped in spider silk and hung upside down in the door of the NYPD.

Peter looked around, then reached out and took the lid of the trash can next to him down, the metal lid quickly deformed in his little hand.

Little Spider-Man tossed the crumpled scrap metal at the feet of the stunned penguin man and said, "It's a bit rude to say that, but I really don't know who you are." However, I have to admit that you have a point, I did pick up something in the dumpster this morning. That being said, I'm clearly not your average child. ”

He was still thinking about whether or not to wear a mask again.

But his figure is too iconic for the use of a mask.

Anyway, maybe he'll be out of here in a few days and see Mr. Stark again. Turning into a five-year-old superhero doesn't seem much of a problem here. If this man dares to speak out, he will beat him up.

Peter clenched his little fists, and the baby's fat little face was full of seriousness.

Colbert looked at the lid of the trash can crumpled like waste paper at his feet, and couldn't help but glance at Hope.

So is Gotham finally going to be ruled by a five-year-old? Which irresponsible parent released this group of murderous imps out of the cage?

Copote's hand holding Hope couldn't help but let go.

Little Hope, who landed on his feet, lit up with his eyes: Wow~
