Age of Clowns

Night, Gotham.

In a silent night, in an empty room, several pill boxes were rolling on the table. Arthur raised his head and took a look. He gently took out two pills from the pill box. He pinched the pills tightly with his fingers. The medicine was almost finished, and only the last dose was left. Arthur stared at the pill for a long time, and finally swallowed it without saying a word. However, his mood was not as sad as usual, but only slightly happy. .

"Our city is trying to figure out the murders of three people on the subway last week, and we had Thomas Wayne come to visit us this time..."

"Arthur, has Thomas Wayne been on TV?" Penny looked extremely excited. She quickly walked to the TV, turned the TV volume to the maximum, and stared at the man on the TV.

"Because he has some connection with this murder." The host in front of the TV moved the camera to Thomas Wayne. Thomas Wayne looked extremely energetic in his suit and tie. He faced the camera and said: "Thank you very much for inviting me. I am also very grateful to the host for participating in this show." Thomas Wayne looked very polite in front of the camera.

"Thank you, Mr. Thomas Wayne. I know this is not easy for you. Are these young people employees of your company?"

"Yes, all three of them are employees of Wayne Investment Company..." Thomas Wayne talked freely in front of the camera.

"Arthur! Come and take a look!" Penny shouted to Arthur.

"Okay! Got it, Mom." Arthur was making dinner for Penny. When he heard Penny's voice, he hurriedly came over from the kitchen.

"They seemed to be asking him about the terrible subway murder incident." Penny looked at Arthur and said softly.

"Why would you ask him?" Arthur walked over with food in his hand with a puzzled look on his face.

"It seems to be to build momentum for the mayoral election." Penny said unclearly.

Arthur placed the food in front of Petunia. Although it was just some bread, Arthur did not touch the plate of food. He now had no job and did not save much money. He needed to save some money. Then Arthur stared intently. Watching this scene on TV.

"Yes, they are all my employees. They are kind, upright, and well-educated. Although I have not had a personal relationship with the three of them, they are like all the employees who have worked at Wayne Company or are currently working. Same, they are all my family, you know?" Thomas Wayne said solemnly.

Arthur looked at the scene before him, lying on the sofa, casually took out the cigarette case, took out a cigarette from it and lit it. When he heard what Thomas Wayne said, Arthur was very angry.

"Hey, you heard that Arthur, Thomas Wayne said that we are all his family!" Penny looked at Thomas Wayne in front of the screen, her eyes becoming very fascinated.

"Hush! Hush!" Arthur waved his arm to stop Penny from making a sound. He stared at Thomas Wayne on the TV.

"In this city, hatred against the rich seems to be very high now. It seems that the less wealthy citizens have chosen to side with the murderer." The host looked at Thomas Wayne and said.

"Yes, I feel very sorry for this." Thomas Wayne nodded, and then said: "This is also one of the reasons why I considered running for mayor. Gotham City has lost its direction." Thomas. Wayne said seriously.

"What do you think of the witness' statement that the suspect was wearing a clown mask?" the host asked Thomas Wayne.

"I think this is very reasonable. What kind of coward would do such a cold-blooded behavior? Someone hiding behind a mask? This kind of person will be jealous of people who are better off than themselves and are luckier than themselves. People who dare not reveal their true face at all."

"And until such people change their ways, those of us who have achieved something will always regard these people who have accomplished nothing as clowns!" Thomas Wayne said contemptuously, as if he was dismissive.

"Mr. Thomas Wayne, thank you for accepting this interview." The host looked at Thomas Wayne with a smile.

"Hahahahahahahahahaha..." Arthur collapsed on the sofa, sneering with the same contempt.

"It's actually not funny..." Penny didn't like others to mock Thomas Wayne, even if she was raising her own son.

Arthur didn't answer Penny, he just looked at the night scene outside the window and took a long drag on his cigarette.
