Popular recommendation:

Soon, the circus performance began. The first few shows were all animal taming shows. Whether it was Bruce or Selena, they had no interest in this kind of show. The performance was on stage, and the two were chatting offstage. .

"You said you were a hawker before, so why didn't you keep doing it, but steal things?"

Selena rolled her eyes and said, "My eldest young master, don't you think being a hawker is better than stealing?"

Bruce turned to look at Selena. He originally wanted to say that at least being a peddler is not against the law, but after having been in contact with Selena for so long, he also knew that the lowest life in Gotham might not be what he thought.

Having been with Selena for so long, he has come to understand the reality that in the dark city of Gotham, some people have already worked hard just to live, so if he talks to them about abiding by the law at this time, there is no need to do so. different from a joke.

"Actually, those hawkers, tobacco boys and flower girls are the worst." Selena sighed, with a little sympathy in her tone, she said, "When I told you about my experience before, you might I think the lucky mother who taught me stealing skills is a bad person, she taught me the skills, let me steal, and once called me, but in fact, I don't hate her, I still talk to her on the phone..."

Bruce showed a puzzled expression, and he asked, "You still have contact with that thief?"

"We don't talk about any business matters, just ask her if she is in good health or something, just some polite words. Although she wanted to take away the diamond necklace I stole, I was a little angry, but later, my After the anger subsided, I still called her..."

Seeing Bruce's slightly shocked expression, Selena suddenly smiled, and she said, "You are Master Wayne, and people are holding you wherever you go. In order to make you give money, everyone can humble themselves to please you. , but I'm different, the most praise I've received in my life is when I learn from my lucky mother."

"She always said that I was the most gifted child she had ever seen. She learned everything very quickly. You know, when she was young, she worked as a waitress in a bar in the East End, and she could praise people to the sky with one mouth. When I'm in a good mood, I even sing a song and let me dance in the dress she wore when I was young..."

Selena put her hands on her knees, took a deep breath, and said, "I know you think I'm useless, but she's really kind to me."

"You might think it's a heinous crime for her to find all kinds of kids to help her steal things, but in fact, the lucky mother has already treated these children well."

"She has a very vicious eye. The children she picks out are very talented and can make a lot of money for her. Therefore, her hands are relatively loose, and occasionally she will give us two pocket money..."

"But the old villain next door is different. He has some hawkers and tobacco boys under his command. All of these children's daily income must be handed over to him, and they must be searched every day. It is absolutely not allowed to hide a penny. If he fails to achieve the goal he set, he will be severely beaten."

"He only gave the children leftovers, and when they were in a bad mood, he starved them. I once saw a child who wanted to run, and he chopped off his feet and bled to death."

Selena shrugged and said to Bruce: "Actually, I'm not hungry at all, and I don't really like pancakes with cheese, but when I meet this kind of hawker, as long as I have some money in my pocket, I will buy something, so maybe Let them have a full meal tonight."

"You know what?" Bruce looked into Selena's eyes and said, "Every time you tell me this kind of story, it instantly makes my heart heavy."

Selena smiled, she reached out and touched Bruce's cheek and said, "That's the problem, it's a sad story for you, but for us, it's an ordinary everyday life. "

Selena took another deep breath and said, "Actually, you also taught me a lot, such as the context you talked about last time..."

"I think about it, I seem to have heard the lucky mother say that part of the money she gets must be handed over, and the person she handed in must also hand in it. Anyway, they hand in it layer by layer, and finally hand it over to one person... …”

Bruce narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who is that?"

Selena shook her head and said, "I don't even know Lucky Mom's boss, how do I know who the final person is?"

"There's someone controlling the Gotham kids, right?"

Selena nodded and said, "Actually, Gotham's children are easy to control, most of these children are orphans, their parents are either dead or abandoned by their parents, as long as they are given a bite to eat, they will be able to Drive them at will."

"And..." Bruce received: "Almost no one will embarrass these children, even those high-end nightclubs will let those cigarette boys in to sell cigarettes..."

Obviously, he recalled the occasions when he first entered. In the past, he didn't care because he was used to it, but now he recalled that whether it was a dance, a dinner or a banquet, there were some children waiting on the edge of the venue, waiting for a certain Some rich people go to their place to buy cigarettes.

"That's it. If these children do something wrong or make some mistakes, they only need to put on a pitiful look and apologize and beg for mercy a few times, and the people who want to save face will not embarrass them."

Bruce didn't expect that chatting with Selena gave him a windfall. There has always been a person in Gotham who uses the layers of the network to control these ubiquitous children.

"It's more than that." Selena continued: "These children will also form gangs. It's been like this since my time, and the competition between peers is especially fierce."

"As you know, some areas have good business, and some areas are not. Everyone wants to seize the area with good business, except for the adults above their heads and grabbing the land, the children below also follow suit , we call these gangs the 'Junior Gang'."

"Then what gang did you join at that time?"

Selena shook her head and said, "I'm not involved in any gang, it's all on the ground, and I'm a snitch."

"I don't need to occupy a site to steal, or, in other words, I don't need to say hello to anyone I want to go to, they can't catch me anyway."

"Everyone in the East District has heard of my name, and even now, they all know that when the black cat on the eaves haunts, don't think about aiming your gun, because you can't hit her at all, it's just a waste of bullets."

"Among the four Snitches in the East District, only I have the ability to travel to and from Gotham, and the others are not even afraid to enter the commercial street, because once they are caught by those gang leaders who have the face and face, they will be finished, but I am not afraid. , because I know they can't catch me."

Whenever he hears Selena talk about his career, Bruce has a strange feeling. Selena can be said to be a typical example of going out of the circle by her strength. to this point today.

This kind of life experience of turning around and living a good life with her own efforts should have been very inspirational and honorable, but her profession is a thief, and the harder she works, the more judged her life will be.

The two have been chatting about the children of Gotham. Selena's bottom-level intelligence and Bruce's top-level intelligence are combined, and the two together deduce who the person who controls the network is.

During this period, Aisha's attention has been attracted by the various performances on the stage, and it is rare to be quiet.

Suddenly, the lights on the stage brightened, and the host said in a high-pitched voice: "Ladies! Gentlemen! Next, we will bring you the most exciting - trapeze performance!!!"

Two actors, a man and a woman, stepped onto the stage, and as they climbed the ladder, the host was still trying to introduce: "I think some people may have heard of the Grayson family, which was once famous on the East Coast. America's greatest family of trapeze performers..."

"Some people may have heard that the previous generation of members of the Grayson family fell from the sky because of a mistake in the trapeze performance, and fell to pieces..."

The host whistled and said, "But that's the thrill of this kind of show, I'd say, and who's going to watch this thing if it's not in danger of falling? You're right?"

The host's one-liners were originally intended to stir up the atmosphere, but the tall man named Grayson who had just stepped onto the high platform clenched his fists.

Just as he was about to start his performance, he shouted to the audience: "The Graysons are the greatest family of trapeze performers, we..."

At this time, he saw that the boss of the circus under the stage made a threatening gesture towards him. He turned his head and glanced at his wife next to him, and finally closed his mouth.

The owner of the circus cursed loudly from below: "What is this idiot talking about?! It's Wayne down there! I'll say he's going to ruin my good, you son of a bitch!"

At this time, the Graysons have already started their performance. The so-called trapeze is actually swinging in the air while holding the bar, making various twists and rolls.

I have to say that the Graysons are indeed very good. The two of them cooperate tacitly. Whether it is the same or symmetrical movements, they are all pleasing to the eye and cheers from the audience.

Aisha was very happy to see it. After all, even if Selena was highly skilled, the manor had limited conditions, and Bruce would not agree to Selena swinging in such a high place~www.NovelMTL.com~ But the current performance is not Satisfies Elsa's hobby of watching people's activities.

She screamed sharply and kept waving at the stage. Bruce hugged her, afraid that she would roll over to the front seat. Selena patted Bruce's arm and said, "Give her some water, I Hearing her voice hoarse."

Bruce took out a water bottle and was about to give Elsa a drink. The movements of the two trapeze people on the stage just happened to be between the performances. The couple landed on the high platform, and Mrs. Grayson happened to see Elsa who was waving at him.

The lady looked a little haggard, but she still smiled back and waved to Elsa on purpose. Obviously, this little audience who was a little too excited was very popular with Mrs. Grayson.

Seeing that she was noticed, Elsa was even more excited, and she rushed forward, trying to escape from Bruce's arms.

But at this time, Bruce was unscrewing the water bottle, and Elsa's forward movement happened to hit him on the arm, causing the water in the water bottle to spill over him.

Bruce showed a helpless expression, handed Elsa to Selena and said, "I'll go to the bathroom to deal with the clothes."

Just as Bruce left the seat to go to the bathroom, all this was seen by the owner of the circus.

The Grayson first contradicted him, and even punched him, and ended up saying some crazy things before the performance. The Grayson's wife also deliberately tried to attract the attention of the little princess of the Wayne family, causing Wayne to spill water on her body , if he is dissatisfied with this, his sponsorship will be completely lost...

The circus owner's face became more and more gloomy, and his anger was obviously reaching its peak. The Graysons' performance made him almost mad.
