Anti-hero of a certain comic

"Last time you met Gordon, you chose a luxury yacht, but you talked to me on a park bench on the street...Mr. White, you really like to be surprised when you do things."

Bruce sat on a bench in Robinson Park adjacent to the Upper East Side. He held a bag of purchased pigeon food and looked at Leo next to him.

These two young men, who also come from wealthy families, whose parents are no longer alive, and who inherited the family business early, were sitting on a park bench feeding pigeons...

No matter how you look at this picture, there is a subtle sense of dissonance.

"This is mainly because there is really no sense of achievement in showing off wealth in front of the sole heir of the Wayne family."

Leo answered quite honestly.

If he invited Bruce Wayne to be a guest on his luxury yacht, he might say, I have several toys like this at home.

And as we all know, as a person with money abilities, Batman's characteristic is that he has money.

Even with the financial support of White Industrial Group, Leo had to admit that he could only be on an equal footing with Bruce Wayne.

It is too difficult to surpass the other party in terms of money.

"Haha... Mr. White, you are really funny."

Compared to the taciturn persona of Batman, Bruce appears to be much more cheerful when he plays the heir to the Wayne family.

This makes people wonder which identity he is wearing.

Is he playing Batman more often, or is he pretending to be Bruce Wayne?

"Let's omit the honorifics for each other, Bruce - you don't mind if I call you this, right? I'm actually surprised. I didn't expect you to take the initiative to contact me. After all, the last time we got along... wasn't very pleasant."

Leo spread out a handful of pigeon food, attracting pigeons in the square to gather around him.

Perhaps because the darkness of Gotham was hit, the dense clouds for several days dissipated, and sunny weather appeared for the first time.

There were many passers-by in the park, but they didn't seem to notice that one of them sitting on the park bench was Bruce Wayne.

I don’t know if it’s because he wore a pair of glasses today?

"I think you are actually not surprised at all, right Leo? I will take the initiative to find you. This should be one of the things that can be expected."

The proud man of Gotham was obviously not very good at chatting, or in other words, he didn't want to go around in circles, so he directly exposed Leo's polite greetings.

Bruce had been observing the other party during this period, otherwise he would not have known that James Gordon had boarded the White family's luxury yacht.

Everything Leo did was exposed to his sight. From the perspective of a bystander, it was obvious that the other party had a detailed plan and his work style was quite clean and tidy.

In less than a week after arriving in Gotham, the three forces in the underground world were almost wiped out, among which Leo can be said to have taken the greatest credit.

Such strong execution ability made Bruce look askance at him.

"From the time you came to Gotham, except for the sudden kidnapping, everything else was probably in your plan, such as getting help from Detective James Gordon to crack down on the city's Mafia family... You even You also convinced Penguin Oswald Cobblepot. To be honest, I'm a little curious about how you did it."

Bruce seemed to be planning to have a frank chat, and he got straight to the point.

Just yesterday, the Bingshan Restaurant, where rich and famous people flocked to the restaurant every day, and which could be said to be making a fortune every day, announced that it would be closed for two weeks.

The reason announced to the public was that its owner, Mr. Oswald Copot, was ill and was preparing to return to the countryside to recuperate for a while.

"I just told Mr. Copot very frankly that I have prepared an armed team of 40 people in Gotham, and they may turn into a gang of arsonists and robbers at any time."

Leo put the pigeon food aside and said in a very relaxed tone: "You see, although this method is a bit old-fashioned, it can always work when necessary."

Leo's answer made Bruce, who had been looking forward to it, froze. The threat of violence was certainly not something he approved of, but he had to admit that it was indeed very effective.

Even when he became Batman, he often used intimidation, threats, and even beatings to force criminals to submit.

"An armed team of 40 people? Are you planning to start a war in Gotham?"

However, compared to threatening Penguin Copperpot, Bruce was more concerned about Leo's so-called "armed squad."

He knew the identity of the other party and fully knew what role forty elite soldiers armed to the teeth could play in Gotham.

They can break into any place in Gotham and carry out kidnapping, assassination and rescue missions with scalpel-like precision.

If the logistics are in place, those ragtag gang members are no match at all and will be swept away like chickens and dogs.

"No. This team is just one of the weapons I use to stop the war."

Leo replied calmly.

He will not take the initiative to say that once the situation in Gotham reaches a stalemate, this team will start clearing the scene.

Kick out those guys who are not qualified to participate in this game, such as gangsters, first!

"I know what you want to say, Bruce. It's like, 'This is Gotham's Gotham, and outsiders are not allowed to act recklessly.' If you are going to say that, please take it back."

Leo noticed the change in the young Batman's expression, and his voice was slightly cold: "You can't treat Gotham as your amusement park. This is not a fun game. I came to this city to solve the problem." It’s troublesome, so of course I’ll use the most effective way.”

"Okay, I'll accept the fact that you have a private army in Gotham for now."

Bruce nodded helplessly. Judging from the current situation, he could not stop Leo's actions.

The other party is well prepared and well planned, and he has no reason to stop it.

The conversation fell into silence for a while.

A few minutes later, Bruce glanced at Leo next to him and said in a low voice: "I understand what you mean by doing all this. You want to let me know that you and I are on the same side by quickly attacking the Gotham gang. , to prove one's sincerity or to show one's strength..."

"You misunderstand, Bruce."

Leo shook his head and smiled.

With a trademark faint smile on his face, he looked at the pecking pigeons and said softly: "The reason why I asked Gordon to fight the gangs was to convince Mr. Cobot to temporarily stop his business and take a good rest. just because of--"

"Deep in my heart, I know what Batman would do! Contact Gordon, find a reliable prosecutor, such as his little girlfriend Rachel Dawes, and then arrest those criminals on the spot and put them in jail... I don’t want to see Batman and gangsters playing a boring game of cops catching robbers.”

Leo's tone was calm, but his words were very powerful.

He never wanted to join Batman's team and play cat-and-mouse happily with each other.

Fight against the gangs, convince the Penguin, and let Gotham usher in a peaceful two weeks. The purpose of all this is to find out the movements of the Shadow Warriors Alliance.

In a city with turbulent undercurrents, it is difficult to track a target, but on a calm lake, you can find abnormalities with just a trace of ripples and ripples.

"Okay, then tell me, what are you going to do?"

Bruce, who was told that he was thinking too much, didn't show any embarrassment on his face.

"First, we're going to take a trip to Arkham Asylum."

Leo tilted his head and replied with a smile.
