A certain sword soul's infinite journey

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..."

Chapter 7 He is himself, unique in the world...

Half an hour later, Falcone left the Prince Manor in a hurry. He had just betrayed the Owl Court, and now he urgently needed to go back and make arrangements in advance to deal with the possible revenge of the Owl Court.

As the godfather of the underworld who controls most of the underground empire, Falcone is used to seeing the big figures in the upper echelon face-to-face and behind-the-scenes, so naturally he will not naively pin his life on the guarantee of the Prince family.

After all, whether he wanted to or not, the action against the Court of Owls would eventually unfold.

And when the operation actually unfolds, the owl court will definitely think that there is an informer, and then find out that Falcone, the Soprano family with whom they have a cooperative relationship, has been invited to enter the Prince Manor-this is how Falcone will be so easily Reason for treason in court.

Because no matter whether he informs or not, the black pot will be firmly held on his head.

Now that Falcone is caught up in the vortex, he must do his best to protect himself and his family in the impending war between the Court of Owls and the Princes.

Soon, Chief Lebron and Harvey also left here in a hurry.

But compared with Falcone, they appear more flustered.

After all, they really don't know about the Owl Court. Although Loeb is the chief of the Gotham Police Department, his power comes from the system, so there is no threat to the Owl Court. As long as they control the mayor, they can rise from the top. Take control of Loeb and the entire Gotham Police Department.

Similarly, Lin Yi didn't care about the so-called chief of the Gotham Police Department.

The reason why they stayed was purely to confuse the public.

In Prince Manor, little Bruce sat on the sofa with his brows furrowed, as if racking his brains.

But no matter how he thinks about it, he is still only an eight-year-old child. His lack of knowledge prevents him from summarizing based on the stories, cases and experiences left by his predecessors. He can only rely on his immature logical thinking to reason bluntly.

Alfred looked at little Bruce worriedly, and asked in a low voice: "Your Excellency Prince, are you sure that Falcone will not report this matter to the Owl Court?"

"Don't worry, he is a very sensible person."

Lin Yi paused, looked at Alfred and said with a half-smile: "What's more, the owl court will not tolerate the betrayal of partners, even if Falcone betrays when he goes out, the court will still send someone to arrest him." He's dealt with it, so, in a way, he doesn't have a choice at all."

"I see."

Alfred nodded, and suddenly asked in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Prince, may I take the liberty to ask, why do you and your family know so much about the Court of Owls?"

"of course can."

Lin Yi smiled, and turned to look at Alanna who was waiting in the living room.

Alanna nodded, and said calmly, "Because I am a member of the Owl Court."

Alfred and Bruce Jr. were both startled. The former took a step forward calmly, approaching Bruce Jr. on the sofa, to ensure that he could protect the young master immediately when the situation happened.

But then, Alanna said calmly: "Although I am a member of the Owl Court, I have never participated in any court meeting. To some extent, I am more like an honorary member of the court. It is the result of the court's fear of the Prince family and compromise."

"You have to understand that Gotham is still too small for the Prince family."

"..." Alfred frowned slightly.

At the same time, Diana came to the hospital bed, looked at the dying Joe Chill on the bed, and then suddenly asked, "Bruce, did he kill your parents?"

Little Bruce's eyes darkened: "Yes."

"Then why is he still alive?"

Diana snorted coldly, turned around under the astonished gazes of Alfred and Bruce Jr., pulled out a luxurious golden sword for decoration from the wall hangings, and threw it away.

"Pfft-"

The sharp blade pierced through the sand skin and leather easily, and landed precisely on Bruce Jr.'s side.

"Master Wayne!"

Alfred shouted nervously, and quickly stepped forward to get closer.

But before he took the first step, Alanna grabbed his arm, and her slender, white fingers were like iron clamps tightly clamping his arm, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.

"Don't worry, Alfred." Lin Yi said with a smile, "My daughter has been learning swords since she was a child. Twenty years ago, she could easily cut off flies flying in the air, and she never missed it. In fact, if her hand Holding a sword, not even ten strong and experienced men like you can get close."

As he spoke, Lin Yi looked at Alanna with a smile, and Alanna nodded before letting go of her hand calmly.

Alfred blushed, pulled back his arm that had finally broken free, straightened his clothes, looked at Lin Yi and said with a sneer, "Dear Lord Prince, I don't know if your daughter can defeat ten A man like me, but surely your maid can kill ten strong bison!"

"Actually, she can!"

Lin Yi replied with a strange smile.

At this moment, little Bruce pulled out the golden sword beside him, staring blankly at the reflection of his immature face on the blade.

"kill him."

Diana said calmly.

Little Bruce frowned and looked at her: "Why?"

"Because he killed your parents, and you want to avenge your parents."

"No, I won't do it." Little Bruce shook his head, "Officer Gordon has assured me that he and the Gotham Police Department will seek justice for my parents."

"...is that enough?"

Diana asked back, frowning.

Little Bruce was slightly taken aback, and suddenly felt that the words were familiar, so he turned to look at Lin Yi, who was smiling but not smiling.

Lin Yi asked him the same question when he was in the Gotham Police Department. As expected, like a father, like a daughter, the father and daughter are carved out of the same thinking pattern!

Although he didn't know what to complain about, Bruce still had such a sentence in his heart.

After a long time, little Bruce put the golden sword on the coffee table with a serious expression, and slowly shook his head: "I'm sorry, Ms. Trevor, Mr. Prince, no matter how many times you ask me, my answer is still the same."
