batman and red hood

Whether Jason trusts Bruce or not, at least he trusts Batman, and this little episode of leaving home is quickly replaced by busy business.

Jason is currently living in Wayne Manor temporarily, waiting for Bruce to complete the admission procedures for the boarding school.

But according to Alfred, it's a bit difficult to get Jason in right now because his identity is a bit elusive.

If the adoption procedures are completed, the status of a natural adopted son can solve most of the problems, but Jason has no status at all.

Bruce Wayne is another social celebrity, and if he pushes it in hard, he will inevitably attract paparazzi with keen sense of smell, which is not good for Bruce or Jason.

And although he could go to a boarding school if he had money, it was inevitable that Jason's level of education could not keep up with elite teaching.In order to avoid this kind of thing from happening, Jason's enrollment time is set for the next semester of the semester after half a year, and during this half year, Alfred will help him with basic courses to ensure that when he is in school, he will not be due to I don't understand and feel tired of studying.

Like Bruce said, the smartest thing about Jason is knowing his situation and making the most of everything he can.He knows very well that this opportunity will be the only way for him to get rid of the past, so he is learning almost every second.Falling asleep on the table because of studying too late has almost become the norm every day.

In the process of helping Jason with tutoring, Alfred made an unexpected discovery, that is, Jason liked literary works very much.

This was a bit of a surprise, and only then did Alfred know where Jason's polite attitude came from.

"looking at what?"

During afternoon tea time, Jason would sit in a small study regularly and read a book, which had become a habit of his.

"pride and Prejudice"

"Have you finished watching La Traviata?"

Alfred was a little surprised.

"Well, thank you very much"

Seeing Alfred put the afternoon tea on the table in front of him, Jason thanked him politely.

Alfred didn't know whether Jason's traits were learned from books, or whether he carried them in his bones.But there is no doubt that behind Jason's deliberate politeness is a clear sense of alienation.Jason didn't trust them, even with Batman's guarantee, Jason still didn't trust him, or Bruce Wayne.

Alfred can understand, after all, the gap between the rich and the poor in Gotham is too great. Bruce Wayne, the richest man in Gotham, has naturally become a thorn in the eyes of many low-level people, even if the Wayne Group has the largest charity organization in Gotham. Can't change anything.There are very few children who are not as prejudiced and hostile to rich people as Dick is.But Alfred felt that Jason's hostility towards Bruce was not just for this reason. Jason's hostility towards Bruce was not only hostile, but there was a deeper reason inside. The feeling was more like...a kind of vigilance out of fear Heart……

"Master Bruce, I want to talk to you about Master Jason"

In the evening, when Alfred was delivering dessert to the man who had been in the bat cave all day, he wanted to talk to him about Jason.

"Jason? What happened to him?"

Bruce didn't stop what he was doing, but just asked casually.

Looking at Bruce like this, Alfred sighed in his heart.It was because of Bruce's attitude that Dick's conflict with him became irreconcilable.

"I always feel that Master Jason's attitude towards us is a bit strange"

I don't know if it was because the evidence analysis work was completed, or Alfred's words had an effect, Bruce finally stopped what he was doing and turned his head to look at him.

"The child comes from the bottom of the city. Judging from the scars on his body, his guardian has not fulfilled the responsibility of guardianship at all. He has no sense of security, and is wary of everyone, and does not trust anyone. Man... But even so, he is too wary of me... If he hadn't done something to him before I didn't know... then there must be another rich man who treats him what have you done..."

Batman's powers of observation and analysis are unquestionable, but even if he knew, he couldn't do anything about it.Jason doesn't trust him, even though they've been together for a while, Jason still doesn't trust him, so it's impossible for him to know what happened from Jason's mouth.He had checked, but to be honest, there were too many kids like Jason wandering the streets and no one would care. The clues had been intermittent, and nothing useful could be pieced together.According to all the current clues, about half a year ago, Jason disappeared on the street for about a month, and after reappearing, he never returned to his guardian and has been wandering outside.Only this period of time is worth caring about, but Bruce can't get more information, unless Jason himself asks, otherwise he can only ask that scum.

Alfred looked at Bruce, who was in deep thought, and said nothing.He watched Bruce grow up, so he knew this kid better than anyone else, and his character of only doing nothing made him always be misunderstood. I don't know when Master Dick will understand this.Thinking of the boy who moved out because of conflicts with Bruce, Alfred sighed again and said:

"At 07:30 tonight, will you attend the charity dinner hosted by Mr. Himmler Pisk?"

"certainly"

"...Do you need me to call Master Dick back?"

"...No, he doesn't like that kind of occasion"

"...Do you want to take Master Jason?"

"...Jason's identity is too complicated, and he is not suitable for too much exposure"

"...Then please prepare quickly."

Hearing what Alfred said, Bruce raised his head and glanced at the clock on the screen, which clearly read 6:00...

What got Jason out of the book world was his hungry stomach.

He raised his head and glanced at the wall clock on the wall. Before it was time for dinner, Jason casually swallowed the cold tea on the table and walked towards the kitchen.

When passing by a living room, the conversation in it caught Jason's attention.

"...Then, the gift that Master Bruce prepared for Mr. Himmler Pisk..."

"Well, I'll go there first...later..."

"Okay, then later...Jason...to the banquet..."

"...remember the luxurious packaging..."

"Okay, Master Bruce"

The thick door panel made Jason hear the voice intermittently, but even so, he heard a name that he never wanted to remember in his life, Himmler Pisk!

"Fuck! These hypocrites are really the same breed!!!"
