A certain sword soul's infinite journey

Chapter 740 The Court of Owls

Before Bruce could react, Alfred suddenly turned around and bowed deeply to Lin Yi.

"Dear Mr. Prince, on behalf of the Wayne family, I would like to express my most sincere thanks to you. Thank you for telling us the truth. If the master and Mrs. were really murdered, the Wayne family will do whatever it takes to make it happen." The man behind the scenes will get the punishment he deserves!"

"at all costs……"

Lin Yi looked at Alfred with a half-smile: "That's really good, Alfred, I can understand that... are you asking me for help?"

"..."

Alfred stood there silently, without answering Lin Yi's question directly.

Lin Yi shook his head with a half-smile, and said in a leisurely tone: "Take it back, do you know what it means to ask me for help? Are you not afraid that I will take away all of your Master Wayne's property?"

"..."

Little Bruce frowned, finally got a taste of everything that happened just now, and turned his head to get to know the man in white just yesterday.

Although he is only eight years old, he also knows that there is no love without a reason in the world.

Lin Yi was willing to do so much for his dead parents, he must have his own plan, and even, Lin Yi may be the real mastermind behind the killing of the Wayne couple.

Otherwise, why did he appear at the murder scene by such a coincidence yesterday?

Such thoughts not only appeared in the minds of Bruce and Alfred, but Falcone and Chief Lebron also murmured in their hearts.

Although the former knew a little about the inside story, he didn't know who the real behind-the-scenes person was, and the latter just didn't know the situation at all.

Lin Yi looked at the silent Alfred, and suddenly clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "I see, you are testing me to see if I am the real murderer who murdered your master and wife...but I'm sorry, Alfred Red, what happened yesterday was indeed just a coincidence, and the Wayne couple was not killed by me."

Looking at Lin Yi with a calm expression, Little Bruce suddenly spoke.

"But you want to take my property by helping me?"

"...what if I say yes?"

"Then you can take it."

Bruce said without hesitation.

Alfred's silent expression finally changed.

"Master, you..."

"That's my property, Alfred, not yours."

Little Bruce said something lightly, choking back what Alfred hadn't finished speaking.

Lin Yi laughed loudly, and couldn't help but rubbed Bruce's soft hair: "Look, this is why you will never be as good as your young master."

Bruce Jr. didn't care about Lin Yi's overly intimate actions, and raised his head and said seriously: "Mr. Prince, if you can help me avenge me, I am willing to transfer all my family property to you, and I will guarantee that it is reasonable and legal. Anyone come to trouble you."

The immature and serious voice echoed in the living room, the tone was firm but casual, it seemed that what he transferred was only loose change in his pocket, not a huge consortium worth tens of billions of dollars (in the 80s).

Hearing this, Diana, who had been sitting in the study, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Everyone in the living room was attracted by the laughter, and all looked in the direction of the study in a daze.

I saw a tall woman in a dark blue windbreaker walking out of the study, with a beautiful smile on her flawless face, like a peerless beauty who walked into reality from an oil painting.

"Ms. Trevor!"

Chief Le Qiu hurriedly got up to signal.

Diana smiled slightly, and then set her eyes on the young boy who was staring at her in a daze: "Son, what's your name?"

"B... Bruce Wayne."

Little Bruce came back to his senses, and said with a slightly flushed cheek.

Diana smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Lin Yi: "Old... father, I like this child very much, please help him."

"Of course I want to help him. After all, he will be your little junior in the future."

Lin Yi's slightly smiling voice echoed in the living room, and everyone in the living room was stunned. Chief Lebron and Falcone couldn't help but look at each other, feeling as if they had witnessed something extraordinary happen.

Alfred's expression was constantly changing, as if he was considering the gains and losses in the process.

"Junior Brother?" Little Bruce looked at Lin Yi in a daze.

"That's right." Lin Yi said with a smile, "I don't need your property, it's yours, what I want is you, Bruce Wayne."

"Why?" Bruce asked, frowning.

"You will know this later, but for now, let's talk about your parents."

After finishing speaking, Lin Yi clapped his hands again, and two black-haired maids immediately pushed a mobile hospital bed from the outside, on which lay the dying murderer who had been slapped by the little black cat.

Seeing the murderer who was still panting, little Bruce's eyes turned red instantly.

Alfred also temporarily put aside his worries about the Wayne family's property, walked to the hospital bed in three steps, grabbed the murderer by the collar and shouted angrily: "Quickly tell me, who sent you!"

Before he could utter a second sentence, the maid next to him grabbed his arm, and with a light throw, he couldn't resist taking seven or eight steps back.

After stabilizing his figure, Alfred frowned and looked at the maid with a icy expression in astonishment, as if he was extremely shocked by the powerful strength she just showed.

"It's useless, Alfred."

Lin Yi shook his head and said: "I have already interrogated for you, this guy is Joe Chill, a wanted criminal from other places, he was evading capture in New York the night before, but he came to Gotham when he woke up yesterday , I only have that custom-made pistol with me..."

"So he doesn't know anything?"

"Yes." Lin Yi nodded and said, "He was also very panicked about his situation, but because of his drug addiction, he had to rob with a gun and planned to make some money first, but he happened to run into Wayne couple."

"Coincidentally... I'm afraid it's not such a coincidence?"

Alfred straightened his messy clothes and said with a sneer.

"I think so too." Lin Yi nodded, then turned his head to look at Falcone, "That's why I invited Chief Lebu and His Excellency Falcone here."

"But I don't know anything, Mr. Prince!"

Chief Lebu hurriedly got up and explained, his old face was full of grievances.

Falcone swallowed, and said calmly: "Your Excellency Prince, as you know, my subordinates are the most disciplined people in Gotham, and it is absolutely impossible for them to set foot in the three streets of Prince Manor." Inner area!"

"Yes, I do believe that."

Lin Yi actually nodded in agreement, and then suddenly changed the subject: "However, I think you should at least know something inside."

"I..." Falcone opened his mouth.

"The Court of Owls."

Lin Yi said a word lightly.

Falcone looked shocked, and the mouth that had just opened closed again.

Seeing this scene, Bruce and Alfred on the side suddenly realized that this court of owls might be the key to the murder of the Wayne couple, so they hurriedly asked, "Mr. Prince, what is the court of owls?"

Lin Yi smiled without saying a word, just staring straight at Falcone.

Falcone smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "Your Excellency Prince, since you know everything, why do you want to humiliate me here?"

Lin Yi said lightly: "Because I need you to explain for me."

Falcone looked at Lin Yi, who had a calm expression, and then at Bruce, who was immature, nodded and said: "I understand, I will tell you everything I know, but I hope you can save my life."

"Don't worry, the court of owls is not in my eyes yet." Lin Yi made a promise with a calm expression.

"That's good." Falcone nodded, and then explained solemnly, "You must have heard more or less about the legend about the Owl Court. In fact, the Owl Court does exist. It is a A secret council formed by many powerful and influential figures in the upper echelons of Gotham..."

Following Falcone's calm narration, a huge organization hidden behind Gotham's scenes and secretly manipulating the black and white of the entire Gotham surfaced.

In the absence of the Prince family, this organization has the greatest power in Gotham City. Even a mafia godfather like Falcone is just a pawn in front of the court of owls.

"But what does this have to do with my parents?" Bruce couldn't help asking.

"It's very simple." Falcone turned his head to look at Bruce and said, "Many members of the Owl Court are hidden in the Wayne Group, some of them are shareholders of the Wayne Group, some are executives of the Wayne Group, and even There are times when the court sits at Wayne House!"

After the words fell, both Bruce and Alfre felt a chill.

Falcone sighed and said: "Son, I know your father. He is a very upright and very smart man. If a man like him discovers the Owl Court hidden inside the Wayne Group, it will be very difficult for him." There is a possibility of some very irrational behavior."

"And such behavior is bound to bring revenge from the owl court..."
