Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

In the ward, Barbara was lying on the bed, with a bandage on her right arm and a plaster on her left foot.

Beside the hospital bed, two people, one large and one small, were standing.

The older one is tall and handsome, wearing a custom-made expensive suit and an expensive watch. His sapphire-like pupils don't give people the impression of being bright, but of an elusive depth.

The younger one, although not as tall as the previous one, is still much stronger than the average person. He is wearing ordinary and cheerful casual clothes. He is even more handsome than the former one. What is revealed in the depth of his eyes is not depth but purity.

The two also have blue pupils, but they seem to be completely opposite to each other.

bang.

At this time, the door of the ward suddenly opened, and Dean and Cassandra stood at the door together, looking at the three people in the ward.

"Dick?"

Dean recognized an old acquaintance in the ward at a glance.

"Dean? Why are you here?"

Dick looked at Dean's sudden arrival and asked in surprise.

"And who is the little sister behind you?"

"Kashan! Why are you here?"

At the same time, Barbara on the hospital bed noticed Cassandra's presence and asked quickly.

"And why are you with Dean?"

"Hey! Can you two ask questions separately, or unite your opinions a little bit?"

Dean spread his hands and said helplessly.

“So many questions came in and I didn’t know which one to answer first.”

"Just start from the beginning."

Dick couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

"Well, the fact is that I went to the library to read today and happened to meet Cassandra. She needed... some help, and then I helped her, and that's how we got to know each other, and then we got help from the library administrator. I found out that Barbara was hospitalized, so I wanted to come over and visit her.”

Dean summed it up simply.

"Uh...so why did you bring Cassandra over to visit Barbara?"

Dick didn't know Cassandra, and he didn't know anything about Barbara and Cassandra.

"Kashan is a very poor child. She... ran away from home when she was very young and wandered outside for many years."

Halfway through, Barbara glanced at Cassandra, and after the latter nodded to show that she didn't care, she continued to introduce.

"This child has never been to school and can't speak. Once I saw her lying outside the library window looking in, and then..."

Barbara told how she and Cassandra met, "Since then, Cassandra has come to the library often, and I have taught her how to read."

As he listened, Dean suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Why didn't Barbara mention Cassandra's powerful martial arts?

Is it because she doesn't know, or is she deliberately hiding it?

Dean looked at Barbara and then at Cassandra.

If Cassandra's ability to fight was a secret that needed to be concealed, then it shouldn't have been possible for her to show force in front of Dean without any scruples just now.

Even if Dean knew Barbara and patiently taught Cassandra some new words, it would be impossible for him to have such trust in someone he met for the first time, right?

But it seems very unlikely that Barbara doesn't know that Cassandra knows martial arts. They have known each other for much longer than Dean. Would Barbara know something that even Dean knows?

Of course, it is also possible that Barbara and Cassandra only met in the library, and at night Barbara went to be Batgirl, and she might not have the chance to see Cassandra use force.

"Your name is Cassandra, right?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded from beside Dean.

It turned out to be the tall middle-aged man in the ward, who walked up to Cassandra at some point.

Cassandra opened her eyes wide and nodded quietly.

"I am Bruce Wayne. If you need help, you can go to the Wayne Charitable Foundation. There is a welfare home specially built for street children. You can receive subsidies every month and can also help you go to school for free. "

Bruce had a warm smile on his face and spoke to Cassandra in a gentle tone.

At this moment, Dean vaguely noticed that the corners of Dick's and Barbara's eyes twitched at the same time, and he didn't know why.

Cassandra shook her head lightly and made a few gestures towards Bruce.

"Okay, I understand, but the Wayne Foundation will respond to your request for help at any time."

Bruce sighed. It was too difficult to do good things in Gotham. There were too many people like Cassandra who would rather wander outside than accept relief from the Wayne Foundation.

He has enough technology to monitor the flow of every fund of the Wayne Foundation in real time, fundamentally eliminate the behavior of embezzlement of charity money, and absolutely ensure that every penny is put into practice, but people have deep-rooted understanding of the word 'charity' The distrust remains indelible.

Most people would rather just get some money and leave every month than choose the free room, board, and admission assistance provided by Wayne Welfare Institute.

In fact, Bruce led the Wayne Group to spare no effort to transform Gotham, building projects, improving education, investing in medical care, lowering prices... and creating countless jobs for the people of Gotham.

Such investment regardless of the cost caused Bruce to have many conflicts with the board of directors of Wayne Group, which once reached the point of tense situation. If he had not been strong enough, he would have been killed long ago.

Even so, Gotham's situation is getting better and better due to Bruce's efforts. Technology, economy, education, medical care, and residents' quality of life are getting better day by day. But all of this seems to belong only to Gotham during the day. .

Once night falls, Gotham's prosperity disappears, and the evil lingers forever like gangrene in the bones.

why?

Bruce has thought about this problem many times, but even with his wisdom, he still can't figure out where the root is.

It seems that my thinking is a little off-topic, but it doesn't matter. It only happened for a moment anyway.

Beside, after Bruce and Cassandra finished speaking, Dean said to Bruce eagerly.

"I really didn't expect to see you here, Mr. Wayne. I often saw your glorious deeds on TV news, and heard many little things in life from Dick. I have wanted to see you for a long time, and finally today This wish came true.”

The expression on Dean's face was not fake. The man in front of him was Batman, the father of DC who was praised by countless people on the Internet in his previous life. In this life, he is the world's number one detective who he grew up hearing about. It was the first time he met him that he wasn't excited at all. is fake.

Of course, this may also be related to the fact that Dean is not a supernatural person now. If he is strong enough, he may not care about Batman so much.

(Ahem, I will make up for the chapter I owe tomorrow. I will definitely make up for it this time. There have been a lot of things in the past two days. I am so ashamed. At worst, I owe one more chapter!)
