The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 1455 Asuka and Return ([-])

After reflexively calling out Dick's name, Thomas was stunned. How did Dick grow so big overnight?What did he miss?
Then he realized that this couldn't be Dick, at least not the Dick he knew.

Thomas took two steps back at an extremely fast speed, lifted the hem of his suit with one hand, took out the bat dart from the back of his waist, stared at Yeyi coldly, and asked, "Who are you? Why are you in Wayne Manor? "

Seeing Thomas's familiar reaction, Nightwing retreated back from the shooting area like a reflex, put his hands in front of him and said, "Wait a minute, Batman, I'm..."

Nightwing's voice stopped abruptly before he realized what he had said, and then he looked at Thomas' face in shock. Thomas looked too much like the Batman he knew.

Those who know the Flashpoint universe should know that the old man Thomas of the Flashpoint universe is actually the biological father of Batman in the main universe. Their appearance, height, and body shape are very similar, so Nightwing immediately recognized him as the one he was familiar with. The main universe of Batman.

Although Ye Yi felt that the previous Batman who was about the same age as him was a bit difficult to accept, but the Batman in front of him was a bit too old.

Two Batmen in one Gotham City?
Just thinking about this made Ye Yi feel his head buzzing.

The bat dart in Thomas's hand was already clenched. Seeing him in an attacking posture, Nightwing immediately wanted to explain, but Thomas was obviously the kind of Batman who wouldn't listen to explanations. A moment before throwing it out, another figure walked out of the room unsteadily.

Thomas looked at the familiar Dick leaning on the guardrail with half-closed eyes and a sleepy look, his hand holding the weapon loosened, and then he heard Dick hugging the pillow say, "Didn't Bruce tell you? This is the Bat-Family from another universe, which is us from another universe."

"Oh, by the way, I read the letter written by the professor. He said that the Batman in that universe is your own son, and these people are his good helpers and good partners."

Thomas paused for a moment, recalling what Barry Allen had told him about how the world of Flashpoint came to be, and the very different story in an alternate universe.

Are they from the universe where Bruce Jr. became Batman?
Thomas' expression remained unchanged, and he still stared at Yeyi seriously, but he put away the weapon in his hand, rearranged his suit, walked quickly to the sofa, and sat down beside him.

He first waved to Dick and said, "Go back to sleep first, you have to get up for class tomorrow morning, by the way, put your French homework on the table, I'll check it later."

Dick suddenly became stiff all over, his drowsiness flew to the sky, and he rushed back to the room in a panic.

Then he pointed to Ye Yi again and said, "You, come here, sit down."

"But I'm going to..."

"You can't go anywhere." Thomas looked at his face and said calmly: "The moment I touched the bat dart, all airports, train stations, and bus stations in Gotham were all out of service. Can't go anywhere."

Ye Yi stood there watching him, and after ten seconds, he reluctantly walked over and sat on the sofa.

"Name."

"Are you interrogating a prisoner?"

"Answer my question, or it will be."

"Dick Grayson."

"Legal name."

"Richard Grayson."

"Isn't your last name Wayne?"

Dick pursed his lips, turned his head to one side and said, "I'm keeping my last name in honor of my deceased parents."

"Are you Batman's adopted son?"

"That's it."

"Is it or is it not?"

"I'm his Robin."

"Okay, let me put it another way, is he your legal guardian?" Thomas asked, staring into Ye Yi's eyes.

"We don't have a legal relationship and we don't need that."

"Why didn't he legally adopt you?"

Ye Yi opened his mouth, but still emphasized: "That's meaningless, and the conditions are not met, according to the laws of New Jersey..."

"His last name is Wayne, and he still governs the laws of New Jersey?"

Ye Yi could have refuted him firmly, but some chaotic thoughts troubled his heart.

He looked back into Thomas's eyes, and still couldn't help asking: "The Dick of this world... I mean, his parents are still alive, why did Batman adopt him? And why did he change his name to Wayne?"

"Of course it's to give Dick a better education. Bruce and the Graysons agree with that. Where are the good schools and teachers in Bludhaven?"

"Of course there is!" Ye Yi instinctively wanted to protect his hometown, but then he said with a little confidence: "Although it may not be comparable to Gotham, it is by no means a bad school. The children there are very sensible, and the teachers are also very good. friendly."

"Happy education, huh?" Thomas let out a cold snort from his nostrils.

Just as Ye Yi was about to open his mouth to ask again, Thomas leaned on the back of the sofa and said to Dick, "Do you care about your last name?"

Although Ye Yi felt a little ashamed and angry at being exposed so quickly, he still asked eagerly: "Batman changed Dick's surname, will his parents agree?"

"I also had this question when I first came here." Thomas turned his head and took the hot tea from Alfred's hand. He looked down and found that some medicinal ingredients he didn't know were brewed in it.

But he still took a sip and continued: "I don't want Bruce to snatch other people's children, but he convinced me."

"What did he say?" Ye Yi asked, leaning forward.

"Greyson or Wayne won't change the relationship between the two of them, but it will change how people see Dick."

"If Dick can't have an obvious connection with Bruce Wayne in terms of appearance, surname, and legal sense, then everyone will only see Dick as a poor little guy who was picked up by Master Wayne, and will feel that he I don’t take it seriously, thinking that maybe one day I will be kicked out.”

"But if his name is Richard Wayne, then no matter whether he is related to Bruce or not, as long as his surname is Wayne, others must give him the respect Wayne deserves, otherwise he will be contemptuous of the Wayne family , Few people in this world can afford such a price."

Thomas put down the teacup, sighed and said, "Dick is not from Gotham in the first place. In any environment, outsiders will not be accepted immediately. They want to quickly gain their due status in unfamiliar circles." , Dick needs help and coaching."

Thomas keenly noticed that when he finished his last sentence, Yeyi's hand clenched tightly, but then loosened it soon.

"Tell me about you." Thomas said in a timely manner.

"About me? What can I say?" Ye Yi looked a little nervous, which was obviously like a small talk atmosphere, but because of his tense facial expression and stiff body language, it became like an exam.

Thomas felt that such a state was not conducive to conversations, and he was too defensive, which might make the conversation fruitless, so he planned to ease the tension and start chatting from daily life.

Thomas looked Nightwing up and down, estimated his age based on the size difference between him and Dick, picked a topic in his mind that might be most acceptable to a boy of this age, and asked.

"How's college life? Do you have a girlfriend?"

Ye Yi blinked, and he replied instinctively, "I didn't go to college, and I don't have a girlfriend."

Thomas immediately frowned, but he tried his best to restrain his emotions. He didn't show it too obviously, but pretended to say unintentionally, "Oh? Did Batman hire you a tutor?"

"Well, he's been tutoring me..."

"Is it about the business of the Wayne family?" Thomas's expression eased a little, and he asked with some concern: "When did you first take over the business of the Wayne family? Bruce is still relatively conservative in terms of business strategy. So I guess... 14?"

Ye Yi looked a little surprised, but Thomas still asked himself: "What industry did he train you for the first time? Chemical industry? Construction industry or logistics industry? It can't be the military industry, right?"

Looking at Ye Yi's expression, Thomas' eyebrows slowly frowned again, and he said in a rather unpleasant tone: "Don't tell me, he asked you to do finance with those gangsters on Wall Street? I remember that I repeatedly emphasized to him when he was a child that industry is the foundation of the Wayne Group, so he didn't listen to it at all, did he?"

"No." Ye Yi replied instinctively, he was in a hurry to explain, and said hastily: "He taught me not these, but some, some methods of fighting crime, just like Batman, I am his assistant ,Do you understand?"

Thomas didn't seem to understand much, so he asked more specifically: "Then what did he teach you? How many languages ​​do you know? How about Latin and Arabic?"

Ye Yi suddenly felt that one head was two big, and he whispered: "Arabic??? Tim doesn't even know this? Oh my god, please forgive me!"

Thomas finally sensed that something was wrong, his face darkened, and Nightwing immediately felt the dark atmosphere of Batman enveloped the entire Wayne Manor.

"Let's start at the beginning," Thomas said. "Did you go to a mission school or a grammar school?"

"I think you may have misunderstood something. Before I was adopted, I followed my parents to perform everywhere..."

"I'm asking after you were adopted!"

"Uh." Ye Yi also keenly noticed something wrong with Thomas' tone. He woke up from the series of pressing questions a little bit. He looked at Thomas and asked, "Who are you? Why should I tell you?"

"I'm Bruce Wayne's father!"

Ye Yi's eyes widened in surprise, his mouth opened as wide as if he could stuff an egg, Thomas leaned forward, looking aggressive.

Ye Yi looked at his face that was very similar to Batman, and he didn't even have the courage to escape. He explained with a little dejection: "Batman is educated at home..."

"Then who is your tutor? Professor Rodriguez? Dr. Fries? Is it a professor at Gotham University? Or a full-time tutor at the seminary?"

"It's Batman," Nightwing replied.

"So what did Batman teach you?"

"I said it all, he taught me how to fight crime!"

"So what is that method?!" Thomas put one hand on his knee, and asked inexplicably, "An adult with sound limbs still needs someone to teach him to pull the trigger?"

"Batman doesn't use a gun," Nightwing argued in a low voice.

"You can't even use a gun?!"

"I haven't used it much, but I can pull the trigger..." Ye Yi's tone became more and more emboldened: "He also taught me close combat, driving and rope skills, balance, and tracking skills."

Thomas stared at him and asked, "What about forensics? What about reasoning? What about information and data collection technology? What about communication science? What about mechanical engineering? Medicine? Law?"

Seeing the clear stupidity revealed in Ye Yi's expression, Thomas' fist hardened.
