Of course, despite the unpleasantness, the birthday was on the whole a happy one for Merrell.

Because he received his favorite gift in 18 years, the love from his inhuman father and brother.

Merrell once thought that he was not a very superficial person, after all, he would never sell his soul or even his dignity for small money.

So it really can't be blamed for being superficial, it's because his father gave too much.

Merrell pinched the phone, and the text message on the phone was his father's birthday present to him.

Bruce bought a villa estate for Merrell in the Diamond District. The Diamond District is the most luxurious area in Gotham, and its rooms are also highly speculated, second only to Wayne Island.

What it meant to buy a villa estate in the Diamond District, Merrell didn't dare to think.

Merrell hugged his daddy's neck tightly, trying to show how excited he was and how much he loved his daddy by kissing his daddy's cheek.

Or assassinate Batman and claim his property by kissing him on the cheek.

Bruce refused Merrell's approach with a serious face. Even though Bruce was very happy because of Merrell's approach, he still had to put on the face of being the head of the Wayne Manor family.

So Bruce warned Merrell not to approach, of course, it was just a verbal warning, Bruce did not physically reject Merrell at all.

Of course Bruce wished Merrell would stick with him more.

Among his disciples, only Dick was close to Bruce when he was a child, and now Dick doesn't piss Bruce off, Bruce is grateful to Dade.

Damian, who is only 12 years old now, is no longer coquettish to Bruce.

Don't they know that children who act like a baby have the best life?

So Bruce still enjoys the fact that Merrell is acting like a baby to him.

Buying a villa manor in the Diamond District is nothing to Bruce, even if the owner of the manor doesn't plan to sell it, who can resist Wayne's offer?

When the price was doubled, the manor was shaken. When Bruce made a two-point comparison, the original owner of the manor had already taken out the real estate certificate.

Bruce didn't expect Merrell's happiness to be so simple, buying this manor didn't even use one percent of Bruce's assets.

Merrell is probably the most satisfied one in Wayne Manor. Every year when he gives gifts to other Robins, Bruce needs to spend all night researching what is suitable for him.

Bruce hadn't liked the presents (Jason and Dick in most cases) that he'd sent up with a sleepless night of low blood pressure, and the end result was that Bruce, in a rage, beat them up on their birthdays.

Of course, Jason and Dick don't really dislike it, they just complain about Bruce's aesthetics.

Now it seems that Merrell is the one who is best supported by this manor.

However, when Bruce said the words of refusal, Merrell straightened up immediately, with a sad expression on his face, he said that he knew and said like a green tea that he would not bother his father again.

Then he left under Bruce's eyes and hesitant expression.

Many people around couldn't help but sneered when they saw Bruce trying to keep Merrell back.

As I said a long time ago, like Bruce, if you don't ask what you want directly, you will suffer from being dumb sooner or later.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect Merrell's caring and high EQ to only appear when he was guilty.

Merrell jumped at his second brother, the best second brother in the world, Jason Todd, like a dancing butterfly.

Merrell didn't expect that his second brother, a motorcycle racer and anti-hero with a red hood, was very rich. He was probably the richest in the manor besides Bruce and Tim, and Jason didn't care about the past.

Jason gave the Iceberg Restaurant to Merrell.

Yes, that was once an important asset of the Penguin, and was later snatched by Jason, who changed his surname from Copperpot to Todd, and now he will change his surname to Wayne.

As the boss of the West Side, Jason has a lot of assets seized from gangsters, including not only the most notorious ones in Gotham. The Red Hood is not only a qualified gang boss and masked vigilante.

He is also very business-minded. He assigns the properties seized by his men to trusted people to take care of them. On the surface, the Red Hood protects the normal operation of those properties as the boss of the West District.

In fact, almost all the funds from these industries ended up in Jason's bank card. Otherwise, where do you think he got so many guns?

snatched?It is true that some of them were snatched from gangsters.

Another part was bought by Jason through less formal channels. Although the channels were not formal, Jason did pay to get it back.

Undoubtedly, Bingshan restaurant must be Jason's most profitable business, and it is also the most prestigious business.

The Iceberg Restaurant is located on Boysen Lake in the Diamond District. It is a building that looks like an iceberg. Part of the building is buried in the lake, but it looks like a real iceberg. At night, the building will turn on the lights. At that time, it will It is one of the most beautiful buildings in Gotham.

The Iceberg Restaurant will also be open at night. The Iceberg Restaurant at night was once the place where the Penguin conducted a series of illegal activities such as money laundering.

It later became the home of the Red Hood, and the nights were a place for real drinking and relaxation.

Now, Jason announced that the Iceberg Restaurant was owned by Merrell.

Jason didn't care about such a little property. Maybe he cared when he was a child, but when he grew up, after experiencing death and loss, rebirth and regaining, money became no longer important.

If spending a little money would make Merrell happy, why wouldn't Jason do it?Because the things that can be solved with money are always the best things to solve, no doubt everyone in Wayne Manor feels so.

Iceberg Restaurant is a landmark building with the same reputation as Gotham, Wayne Clock Tower, Gotham Grand Theater and other places. It is very beautiful. According to Jason's understanding of Merrell...

Learn about the gorgeous and beautiful collections in the new sixth district.

Merrell would definitely like the decoration style of the Iceberg Restaurant, where there are many penguin collections.

What's more, making Bingshan Restaurant one of the strongholds of the new sixth district is also convenient for the agents of the new sixth district to rest and entertain.

So Jason moved his fingers, and the Iceberg Restaurant belonged to Merrell, and when his subordinates delivered the documents, they signed and it was over.

Merrell wants to hang himself on Jason, will Jason allow Merrell to do this?

Of course not, Jason is different from Bruce. Jason really doesn't want Merrell, a little green tea essence, to stick to him. Jason, an adult in his twenties, can't accept being ashamed in front of so many people.

So Jason used his ruthless iron hand to prevent Merrell from approaching, and at the same time said coldly: "Stay away from me, Merrell, or I will take back your birthday present."

Merrell turned a corner in good time and jumped at Tim who was standing behind Jason.

Tim, coffee in one hand and sleepy face, is arguing with Damian about something.

He was caught off guard by Merrell, if Tim hadn't quickly put the coffee cup on the table.

I'm afraid Tim will lose one of his favorite coffee mugs again after Damian used his coffee mug for ink.

"What's the matter with you?"

Tim suppressed the word "problem" in time and changed it to a more euphemistic word, but this did not prevent Tim from greeting Merrell who was close to him with his eyes.

"Thank you, Tim," said Merrell.

Tim subconsciously corrected a sentence: "It's called Third Brother."

Merrell changed his words in a polite manner: "Thank you, third brother." Thinking that Tim gave himself a big surprise just now, Merrell is also willing to satisfy Tim's little needs for a while.

For some reason, Tim was obsessed with having Merrell call him 'bro'.

But who made Tim just give Merrell a piece of precious jade? Merrell, who has been learning treasure appraisal skills from his father all the year round, clearly knows how valuable the palm-sized jade that Tim just gave him is worth.

This jade is also quite famous.

The shape of the bloody lines in the jade is like a heart, and even the jade is in the shape of loving you.

Tim is the biggest one at this time, he can satisfy him with whatever Merrell wants, nothing more than verbally calling Tim a brother, and Merrell is not at a disadvantage.

Merrell still prefers antiques to money.

That's why the antiques in the new sixth district were placed in the display cabinet, and the penguin's ruby ​​cane was randomly thrown in the corner.

Of course, Merrell also likes money very much. Is there anyone who doesn't like money?Anyway he likes it.

After hugging Tim, Merrell went to the next victim, Damian.

Damian personally made a sculpture of Robin and the masked man for Merrell, showing a taller version of Robin fighting side by side with a... maybe a smaller version of the masked man.

He looks mighty and handsome, but the masked man looks slightly inferior to Robin, but Merrell is still grateful to Damian, after all, Damian has not yet achieved economic freedom.

This is the first time Merrell has received a gift made by others, oh, except for the cake Xiaoyu made before, which is terrible enough.

Damian is much more direct than Bruce, and much smarter.

When Damian watched Merrell approaching, he had a stinky face and said something like 'I'm in trouble', but he didn't say not to let Merrell come closer.

Damian opened his arms, fearing Merrell wouldn't see it.

"Thank you, Damian. I liked your present very much," said Merrell.

"Almost." Damian blushed a little. He had never been able to withstand straight ball attacks, and Merrell was the one who liked straight balls the most in the manor besides Dick.

It was clear that Merrell was also the one who inherited the Wayne family blood, but except for his looks and his inexplicable desire to control Gotham, there was nothing like Wayne should have.

Gotham is to Wayne what a cat meets catnip, and it's hard to resist.

No, it's clear that when Merrell first came to Gotham, he was still reserved and Wayne-like.

Why is it getting weirder now, is it letting yourself go?Or is it the nature?

It's just that Merrell just came to Wayne Manor and wasn't familiar with it at the time.

Dick stood expectantly and waited for Merrell. After letting go of Damian, Merrell went directly around Dick to hug Butler Alfred.

Dick was depressed for a moment, and he asked Merrell in a puzzled way, "What about me? Why didn't I?"

Merrell wanted to laugh a little, he just wanted to see Dick deflated.

So Merrell rolled his eyes, pretending to be very disgusted and impatient, and he said reluctantly: "Then hug, hurry up, tsk, such a big person still likes to stick."

Merrell said that he didn't seem to be the person who likes to post.

Dick was very aggrieved: "Why are you willing to post with them, but don't want to post with me."

Merrell patted Dick on the shoulder and said sincerely to Dick, "Because it's fun to tease you."

"..."

"You have changed into Merrell, you are no longer the good boy who hugged my leg and smirked and drooled when you were young."

Merrell sneered: "It's not true, since you kicked me off the bed, poured the milk I didn't like into my glass, and wronged me for not drinking milk, I am not anymore."

Dick was horrified, he didn't expect Merrell to remember so many things from his childhood.

Merrell didn't remember much at first, but the more time he spent in Wayne Manor recently, the more he remembered before he was kidnapped when he was a child. When he was a child, Dick often cheated on Merrell.

Although Dick is indeed a good brother, he took Merrell dutifully, and Merrell also ran behind the big boy Dick like a qualified little kid.

But Dick is just a 12-year-old kid, and it is his nature to be playful, so that after he got into trouble, his first reaction was to push the blame on Merrell.

Merrell, who was only two years old, couldn't even utter a word, so how could he be better than Dick.

So every time Dick pushed the responsibility, Merrell always justified his incompetence, and could only get angry with tears in his eyes.

Then he was coaxed by Dick with a piece of sugar or grapes.

"Um." Dick swept his face with his fingers. "I remembered something happened to me..."

Ready to run away.

However, Merrell directly reached out and hugged Dick hard.

"Okay, Dick. I love you even though you weren't nice to me when I was a kid, and I'm sure I'll get back at you, okay?"

"Thank...thank you?"

Dick: ...I don't know if I should be happy or sad.

The adults drank a lot tonight.

Even the minors were allowed to drink two glasses of fruit wine, and Xiao Qiao got a little overwhelmed after drinking one. He was half-floating in the air and his cheeks were flushed.

There are only five minors, Xiaoyu, Merrell, Damian, Xiao Qiao and Parker.

They sat alone in the corner playing ludo, or tried to kill some of the grown-ups with their eyes.

The pseudo-adult group is fighting for a drink, or if it is a drink, it's nothing more than Jason, Dick, and Tim starting to compete for who can drink more or something.

The good news is that Kate Kane is also a master who cannot withstand provocation. Kate dragged Cassandra, Barbara and Stephanie into this 'battle'.

Although Kate is Bruce's cousin, she has a very serious personality. She doesn't care if these people are little devils, she just wants to win.

So Kate is not in the group of real adults, real adults would not be so naive to fight for wine.

Therefore, Wayne Manor presents three levels of differentiation. The first category, real adults, are adults represented by Jackie Chan and Bruce. The members include most members of the Dragon Group, Bruce and Clark. Affection.

They're using the time to discuss something serious, like Merrell's future, or demons or something.Clark and Merrell didn't know each other well, but every time there was a party in Wayne Manor, Damian would invite Joe.

Clark would not let Xiao Qiao come to Wayne Manor alone, so he followed Xiao Qiao to Gotham with a cheeky face.

Luckily Bruce didn't have a problem with that.

The second type of pseudo-adult group is led by Jason and Kate. The members include all the Robins except Damian, and a few girls. In fact, Jason wants to play flying chess more than drinking.

But Jason just couldn't bear Dick's provocation, Dick made a gesture of an adult to provoke Jason with a drink.

Jason couldn't stand this the most, or rather, no one in the Bat-family could stand this.

As for the children's group, Xiaoyu tried to argue with Uncle Long to let herself join the pseudo-adult group on the grounds that she had reached the age of 18. Of course, Jackie Chan rejected it because she had to follow American rules in the United States.

So Xiaoyu sat in the children's group sullenly and played flying chess with a group of children.

Oh, by the way, Steward Afu and Dad went to the back garden to taste tea. They have the same views and opinions on English black tea and Chinese green tea, so they can discuss and taste together. Since they are the only ones in Wayne Manor Nobody likes tea.

This is the senior group.

"...So the Batcave is right under the Wayne Manor? Wow, that's really cool." Listening to what Damian said, Xiaoyu showed a longing expression.

Damian raised his head proudly, but of course, he still expressed humility. "It's okay, I can take you to see it later."

Xiaoyu spoke again. "But it's still a bit worse than the thirteenth district."

Damian narrowed his eyes.

"I don't quite agree with this statement. You have never seen the Batcave before. If you did, you would be surprised. Because Batman is the best and most powerful superhero in the world, and so is his base."

Hearing this, Xiaoyu became excited.

She looked at Damian with disapproval, even though it was a kid in front of her.

Xiaoyu will not let the other party because of the age difference between the other party and himself. This is not a question of whether to give in, but a matter of principle.

"No, Uncle Long is the most powerful!" Xiaoyu retorted.

"Jackie Chan?" Damian frowned.

Apparently he remembered the night when Merrell confessed to them, and kept boasting how powerful Jackie Chan was. Every time Merrell mentioned the word 'Uncle Dragon', his eyes would light up a lot.

Merrell said that Jackie Chan solved the demon Lord with three strikes, two and two, and said that Jackie Chan never carried weapons with him, because he always adapts to the situation, turns waste into treasure, and makes weapons from the things around him. He said that Jackie Chan is the most powerful My martial arts master or something.

Damian felt that Merrell had over-mythologized Jackie Chan. Jackie Chan might be good at fighting, but he could never be better than Batman. That's Batman!

Isn't Jackie Chan's job as an archaeologist?

Batman is a professional.

"Jackie Chan may be very powerful, but we all know that he is an archaeologist, the kind who uses a small brush to clean up cultural relics. He cannot be stronger than Batman." Damian said.

At this time, Xiao Qiao, who heard the conversation between the two, floated back. He lay flat and rolled over in the air, and grabbed Damian's shoulders with both hands.

Little Qiao blushed and laughed twice. With an overly cute red face and black curly hair, he slowly poked half of his head out from behind Damian.

His beautiful blue eyes were watery, and he let out a belch that smelt of orange soda.

"Superman! Superman is the most powerful!" Even if she was a little drunk, Xiao Qiao insisted on defending her father.

Damian rolled his eyes as he snatched Young Joe out of the air.

Damian grabbed a coat that was probably his brother's from the sofa and put it on Xiao Qiao. It doesn't matter whose coat it is, anyway, it will be his coat after he uses it.

"Go to sleep, Superman is not from Earth, so he doesn't participate in the comparison with humans." Damian added: "Besides, Batman is the strongest."

Parker, who had just secretly poured half a glass of orange sparkling wine from Merrell's glass into his own while Merrell was laying the chess pieces, pretended to be online.

Parker subconsciously said, "What?"

It took several seconds for Parker to realize what they were discussing.

"No, no, of course the Bull Warrior is the most powerful." Parker said. "He is the best wrestler in the world, me and him, together we beat the best boxers in every country."

Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows and said, "You and him? Come on, look at your slender arms and legs, you are his manager, and he is the one standing on the stage. Besides, Uncle Long is the most powerful!"

Parker blushed from Xiaoyu's words, and he retorted: "I'm not yet an adult, and I will be like a bull warrior when I become an adult!"

Damian said: "In terms of muscle, Batman also has it, and Batman is recognized as the limit of human beings, so Batman is the most powerful!"

"Uncle Long is the most powerful!"

"The Bull Warrior is the most powerful!"

"Superman is the most—" Xiao Qiao didn't finish his sentence, and Damian directly slapped him.

And when they were arguing endlessly, they set their eyes on Merrell, who was the only one among them who did not speak.

Merrell is pretending that he doesn't exist, and he hates this kind of meaningless argument the most, just like the countless quarrels between Xiaoyu and Parker when they were young.

In order to show his uniqueness, Merrell mainly wants to show that he is more transparent.

So Merrell never participated in their meaningless discussions.

But today was clearly not a scene where Merrell could get away with just pretending he wasn't there.

"Merrell/Cheng Cheng, do you think Uncle Long is better or Batman is better?"

This is not a question of who is stronger among Uncle Long, Batman, Bull Warrior, or Superman. The key to this question is whether Jackie Chan is stronger or Batman is stronger in Merrell's eyes.

And Merrell was not the only one who realized this problem. At this moment, the noisy Wayne Manor fell silent, and everyone's eyes fell on Merrell. They were waiting for Merrell's reply.

Jackie Chan and Bruce talked and laughed around Merrell and the devil, and it seemed that there was no barrier.

But more or less there is still the idea of ​​secretly comparing yourself with the other party.

One is the uncle who appeared by Cheng Sheng's side when Cheng Sheng needed it the most, raised Cheng Cheng, stayed by Cheng Sheng's side, and taught Cheng Cheng most of the principles of life.

The other is Merrell's biological father, who is connected by blood, and recently recognized each other and confessed to each other, allowing Merrell to find his own father when he was lost.

Neither of them thought they would lose to each other.

Now there is a chance to find out from Merrell.

This is not at all a question of who Merrell thinks is more powerful. On the surface it is 'powerful', but they all know that this 'powerful' has another meaning.

What Merrell said first must be the most important person in his heart.

So everyone looked at Merrell, and they also wanted to know whether Batman or Uncle Long was more important in Merrell's heart.
