"So you just did what you thought would be good for them," Tony said. "Good job—"

Elaine didn't know for a moment whether he was being sarcastic or really thought it was good.

"So what's your next step?" Tony asked. "Will you erase the memories of everyone who suffered from the Metropolis bombing?"

Elaine frowned.

"Forget it." Tony shrugged, "At least you gave them a chance to regret it."

"You don't feel comfortable with my actions?" Elaine asked cautiously.

Tony frowned and paused for a while, then he turned his head, looked into Elaine's eyes, and said, "Yes, I don't like it."

"Why?" Elaine asked.

"Perhaps, there's something condescending about it. No one has the power to deprive a person of their emotional memory just to make them 'better.' Do you know what I mean?" Tony said, sighing, " In this way, you and Wayne are very similar, you are both so self-righteous."

"Self-righteous?" Elaine was puzzled.

She doesn't think Bruce is self-righteous.

Tony clearly knew she didn't realize, "There's something smug about all this pushing away people who want to get involved, and holding yourself accountable for it all. Miss."

Tony opened a can of coffee for himself again, "Although I am also such a person, at least I have a clear understanding of myself. And you, obviously not. You have a mission from birth, and everything is passive Do it, and you have been doing it until now—maybe you don’t feel that way, but you are now used to blaming yourself for everything, putting all the responsibility on yourself, and finally making decisions for everyone.”

"You may really be a god, but Bruce Wayne is not." Tony took a deep breath, probably reminding others and himself, "One day, this kind of arrogant, self-sacrificing character will put They pushed toward the fire pit."

"I'm sorry, I just think it would be good for them if I didn't exist. Maybe they can live a good life if they forget it." Elaine was a little at a loss, "I will try my best to change it."

Tony smiled. He patted Elaine's stiff shoulders and said, "Relax. As far as I have been in the past thirty years, this kind of arrogance really cannot be changed."

Maybe it will change naturally after death.

Tony thought.

Afterwards, Elaine returned to Wayne House.

One of the rare times Bruce wasn't sitting in the Batcave today, but in house clothes, reading the Gotham Daily.

The home clothes are made of comfortable satin. The man didn't pay too much attention to the neckline. It was slightly opened, revealing his muscular chest muscles and the slightly reflective and sunken scars on it.

Seeing Elaine coming, he waved and handed her the newspaper when she sat beside her.

[The tax evasion of the Hobert family was exposed and fined 20 billion] "Hobert?" Elaine remembered, "Which one—"

Bruce nodded, "Jason showed me the video. I didn't pay much attention to the woman after she remarried to the Hobert's house. But before, her natal family had a problem with false accounts, so I'll go deep into it by the way. for a moment."

This in-depth study led to a serial case.

Bruce then pointed to the lower left corner of the newspaper. Above it was a popular science section on school violence, with a hotline for help and psychological counseling attached below.

"There are still many things about the Hobert family, not only fake accounts, but also some underground industries, but these still need events. But it won't be long before their names will always appear on TV for a period of time."

Elaine raised her eyebrows and said, "I don't think you told me so clearly just to tell me it's so simple."

Bruce put the newspaper aside and admitted, "I do need you for something else."

"Need me?" Elaine just felt strange.

"The incident with Hobert has made everyone in Gotham panic, for fear that they will be the next one." Bruce said, "So, we can use this to find out whoever has the problem."

One month later, Gotham City's annual large-scale banquet attended by countless high-level people-followed by the announcement of Gotham City mayor candidates, speeches, and subsequent voting.

"So, what happens after you go in?" Elaine asked, "Are you going to say something, or let me use magic to find out their questions?"

"Let's find the target." Bruce said, "Find the problematic ones and gain their trust."

"Trust?" Elaine frowned, "Do you want to sneak in between them?"

Bruce nodded, "I've been investigating some of Gotham's underground industries for a long time, but there has been no progress. If you can't sneak in, it's impossible to get in touch with that dark place."

"I thought it would be more convenient for you to go alone for this kind of thing." Elaine said.

Bruce shook his head, and said with a smile: "If I was alone, they would be more suspicious--Bruce Wayne, who never asked about related matters, and who had drawn a clear line with them, suddenly approached them? They wouldn't believe it."

Elaine got it.

"Did you see the video of me going to Damian's school and think I can do this task?" Elaine stretched out her hand and turned red nail polish on her nails, "A love child, weird and crazy The woman—I'm afraid it's been told all over by that Brown?"

"Besides, you are capable enough to protect yourself." Bruce grabbed Elaine's hand waving wildly in front of him, and took out a document from the newspaper that had just been put aside, "Sign it."

Elaine took it in doubt, and her eyes widened after seeing the words on it: "Prenuptial agreement?" She stared at Bruce, trying to dig out some hint of a joke from his blue eyes.

"I will advance our wedding date by half a year to make it look more real." Bruce didn't think it was wrong, "Because there is still one month left, I can slowly let them relax their vigilance after making it public, with your previous things as a foreshadowing, It’s also much more convenient.”

Elaine glanced at the text above, it was probably just a template, without any substantive content, signed it, and asked what to do next with her eyes.

Bruce seemed to suddenly remember something, "There is one more thing."

As he spoke, he took out a diamond ring out of nowhere and slipped it into Elaine's ring finger.

Elaine: "I've never seen such a hasty proposal."

Bruce: "Be careful next time."

The author has something to say:

Because the three chapters were updated yesterday, the number of words today is a little lazy (hee hee)
