Can you retire today?

Lex Luthor looked at the reactions of the people at the banquet, sadness, panic, screaming, doubt, greed, gloating... all kinds of human states were staged at the same time at this moment.

And Bruce, Bruce who was full of joy just a moment ago.

Seeing Bruce hugging the butler and crying, Lex didn't step forward to comfort him.He stood beside his father, quietly watching everything at the scene.Instead of feeling sad or sympathetic about what happened to Bruce, he felt a little secret joy.

We're the same now, Lex thought.

You're finally in hell with me, Lex almost grinned grimly, but then he recovered his composure.

How unfair this world is, so there are devils like me who have been in hell all the time, and how fair this world is, so there are angels like Bruce who fell from heaven to hell.Thinking of this, Lex looked at the idiots around him, and slightly narrowed his green eyes like poisonous snakes, with contempt and pity flashing across his eyes.

He was like a poisonous snake that tempted Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, with a mysterious and bewitching aura looming all over his body, but because he was still young, his childish appearance neutralized this aura.

The police in Gotham quickly rushed over, and after a general questioning, they let these high-ranking people leave.Before everyone left, they would go to comfort Bruce.

Bruce ignored all the reassurance, but most of them also expressed understanding, nodded to Alfred and left.

Tony followed his parents to Bruce. He broke away from Howard's hand on his shoulder, "Bruce, I..." Looking at the empty pupils in front of him, Tony, who has always been eloquent, suddenly couldn't say anything.

He hugged Bruce, but got no response, and Bruce looked like a puppet that lost its soul, leaving only a beautiful body.

Tony felt that something had changed. He looked at Bruce, but he had an inexplicable premonition in his heart—greatness is being born!

He didn't say anything more. Although he was still young, he also knew that all words could not soothe a broken heart.He said to Alfred: "If you need anything, you can contact me, any time."

Alfred looked at the sincere child in front of him and nodded, "Thank you, Master Stark."

This child is not exactly like his father. They both have the rigor, focus and even ruthlessness of a scientist, but Tony is more sincere and sensitive.Maybe it's because of his young age, Alfred thought.

He knew that Howard Stark had had a secret conversation with Thomas, and he also knew the content.Whatever Howard Stark's true purpose, at least he wanted to lend a helping hand, and for that, Alfred was grateful.

But thinking of the things that he and Thomas found out, Alfred knew that Howard Stark might have good hands and eyes, but in Gotham, he couldn't give any help. This is a battlefield that belongs exclusively to the Wayne family.

Howard nodded towards Alfred, and left with his wife and children.He knew that Alfred seemed to be a housekeeper, but the Wayne family already regarded him as a member of the family.Now that the Wayne and his wife are all dead, and Bruce Wayne is still young, I will have to deal with him in the future.

It's just that he doesn't know whether he will always be loyal to the Wayne family. Thinking of Obadiastan who has changed a lot recently, Howard feels a little headache.Especially recently, the inside of S.H.I.E.L.D. has given him a very bad feeling. If it wasn't for Thomas Wayne, he would have gone to investigate it a long time ago.

Lex Luthor followed his father to Bruce, and looked at the distraught Bruce at close range. Lex didn't say anything. After his father politely said some words of comfort, he left with his father.

He knew that after this change, there were only two possibilities for Bruce's future: being looked up to or falling into the dust.But no matter how he chooses, Gotham is destined to be his burial ground. The Wayne family is too deeply involved with Gotham, so deep that Lex, who has only been here a few times, can feel it.

Besides Howard Stark, Lex also noticed the eye contact of those Gotham celebrities.Although he is still weak now, and even suffers violent beatings from his father from time to time, his wisdom is unquestionable.

After asking the people present, James Gordon came to Bruce. He squatted down and looked at Bruce with his eyes. "Mr. Wayne, are you okay?"

Alfred wanted to say something, but Bruce, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke. His voice was a little hoarse, but his words were still clear, "What did you ask?"

Bruce looked at the police officer in front of him, he looked so fair and full of pity for what happened to Bruce, he didn't look like a Gotham man.

James Gordon thought of the body of the murderer, who had died of a heart attack.And the identity of that person was found out - he had just been fired from the Wayne Group due to work mistakes, and he had no relatives or friends.

Such an identity may seem suspicious to others, but in Gotham, there are many such people, and it is commonplace.

The motive for the crime was very obvious and barely convincing, but Gordon just felt that something was wrong.

I thought of what my boss said to me before I came here: "Close the case as soon as possible, don't worry about it too much, it's good for everyone."

Gordon knew that this was because he hoped that he would not investigate further, so when he saw the murderer's body, he always felt that it was just a scapegoat who was pushed out.Although he fired the shot, there must be someone behind the scenes.

Looking at Bruce Wayne who was asking himself, Gordon suddenly couldn't say anything.He didn't want to close the case hastily, as his boss said, whether it was for justice or ideals, even if it was just for the children who lost their parents.

He made up his mind to investigate further, even if it won't change anything, at least it can give the child in front of him the truth.

From his first day as a police officer in Gotham, Gordon has been prepared to die at any time.

From being ambitious to being polished and suppressed in the past, I almost forgot my original appearance.That's the scariest thing about Gotham, it's always unrecognizable.

"I got some clues, and I will continue to investigate." Gordon looked directly into Bruce's eyes, and every word seemed to swear.

"Thank you, Mr. Police Officer." Bruce was grateful. He knew that there might not be any results in the end, but he still thanked Gordon for his willingness to continue the investigation.

"Darkness is everywhere, but there is a gap in everything, that's where the light comes in." Gordon looked at Bruce who was thanking him, and suddenly this sentence popped up in his heart.

Gordon suddenly felt that he was full of energy, as if he had changed back to his 20-year-old appearance.After saying goodbye to Bruce and Alfred, he and the police officers who followed left with the collected information and the murderer's body.

He decided that even if he would be scolded by his boss when he went back, or even lose his job, he would investigate to the end.
