Brody felt that his friend was always able to surprise him.

For example, this carving skill, Brody never thought that Clark had this kind of skill, if not counting the birthday presents given to him by his family, this is probably Brody's favorite gift.

He showed his smile to Clark without hesitation, and said a lot of words of praise until he took Clark to Bruce's ward. living.

At least Bruce sensed that.

His eyes fell on Brody's right hand, and he saw the woodcarved figurine, but because of the angle, he couldn't see the woodcarving's appearance clearly, but as long as he thinks about it, he can probably guess it.

Bruce looked away, looked up at Clark, and nodded at the man with that casual smile that belonged to Playboy Bruce.

Clark came to visit Bruce, one is because the other party is the person who bought the newspaper, and the other reason is that he is Brody's brother, no matter what it is, he should come here.

But it's just for a visit, the image of the two people in front of the world is very different, of course they will not be very familiar, if it is not because of Brody, the two of them probably will not have any contact.

So Clark said goodbye quickly and wittily, and Bruce didn't stop him.

"I'll see you off." Brody offered. He raised his hand, and it seemed that he wanted to put his arms around Clark, but then put his arms around Clark's shoulders instead.

Bruce watched the two of them leave the ward, his eyes darkened.

"I just discovered something, Ah Fu."

Bruce said: "According to the information I collected before, this reporter named Clark is six feet three inches tall, but if he wasn't standing with Brody, I wouldn't even notice how tall he is."

"It's strange," Bruce said, but his tone was very calm. Although he was talking to the old housekeeper, it seemed that he was talking to himself, "Generally speaking, people of this height will give people a lot of attention." He has a strong sense of presence, but he doesn't make me feel aggressive or oppressive, just like what is said in the information, a good-natured guy who is easy to be dominated by those 'old people' in the workplace."

"So what do you suspect?"

"Nothing." Bruce shrugged.

Alfred just looked at him with a flat expression. Obviously, the old butler who knew Bruce well knew that this was not Bruce's real answer, so he just said calmly, "Your character makes you feel good about anything. They all maintain a suspicious attitude, my lord."

Bruce couldn't help laughing lowly, and after laughing for a while, he spread his hands towards Alfred, "At least not now, Alfred."

After all, he did not find anything. Although the situation he mentioned is a bit strange, the world is full of wonders. If you don't take it out and look at it, it is actually nothing.

Clark's information looks similar to that of ordinary people, and there is nothing special about it so far. Before the Planet Daily was acquired by the Wayne Group, and before Clark knew Brody, he was just running errands with his boss and often went to those accidents. Just a small reporter at the first scene of the accident.

Alfred: "Anyway, as long as you are happy... that's right."

The old housekeeper took out the things that had been stored all night from his pocket and put them on the bed sheet covered by Bruce. "This is the birthday present you asked me to get last night." After a pause, he continued, "I hope you In the future, I will be considerate of your butler's age, sir."

Alfred straightened up, and stated with a blank expression: "You know, when I found out that I just went to get a gift, I left for a while, but when I came back, I found that it wasn't just the manor that was burned. If it wasn't for the young master and that Superman, maybe I could only wait for a handful of your ashes from the master, I don't think there is a more terrifying feeling than this."

Bruce raised his hand guiltily, and said softly, "I'll try my best to protect myself in the future, but—"

He looked sorry.

"You know, Ah Fu, as long as I don't want to give up this identity, I will always get hurt."

Alfred was silent for a few seconds, he looked directly at Bruce, and said solemnly: "I understand, so I just hope that you must make a plan before taking any action, and I believe you will do a good job .”

"Yeah, I promise," Bruce chuckled, "pnB has always existed."

The conversation in the ward ended here. Not long after the old housekeeper left the ward, Brody came back.

When he stepped into the ward, the smile on his face faded, he walked to the side of the bed without saying a word, and stretched out his hand to lift the corner of Bruce's clothes.After seeing the bandage on his abdomen, Brody pursed his lips, and his eyes flashed with distress.

It looks too harsh.

Brody didn't like it on Bruce because it meant his family was hurt, there were wounds.

Although Bruce had a handsome smile on his face when he was talking to Clark, even if he didn't look at the surrounding environment, he would not feel that he was actually injured from Bruce's expression alone, Brody still understood that it was just an appearance .

The wound will always hurt, Brody is in this state all the time, he is also a man, of course he understands why Bruce maintains this state, as if everything looks good.

Because I don't want my family members to worry, I want to prevent my family members from feeling too much heavy emotions as much as possible.

"Don't be so stern, Brody," Bruce said in a low voice, his hand fell on top of Brody's head and rubbed it a few times, "This injury will heal soon."

As he spoke, he handed the things in his hand to Brody, "A gift for you."

Brody took it and opened the outer packaging, revealing the black high-end box inside. After opening it, it was a stylish watch that caught the eye.

"...I thought the birthday cake that day was a gift." Brody was silent for a while before looking up at his brother and saying this.

"That was just one of the gifts."

Brody took off the watch he was wearing and brought this birthday present.

The silver strap encloses the fair wrist, and a black pattern resembling a bat is drawn inside the pale gold dial. The whole watch looks elegant and simple, which makes people like it at a glance.

"I like it very much." Brody looked at the watch with lowered eyes. In his mind, the system told him that a locator and a monitor were installed in the watch.

Brody was not surprised by this at all, probably after the robbery incident, Bruce had thought of this gift.

he just-

Brody took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked at his brother seriously.

"I think we need to have a good talk, Bruce."

He didn't call the more intimate 'Brucie', nor did he call Brother Bruce, this attitude made Bruce's heart skip a beat, his Adam's apple slid up and down due to tension, suppressing the inexplicably uncomfortable feeling , looking back at Brody with a very normal expression.

Bruce even remembers smiling a little.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Talk about last night, talk about your injury."

Bruce secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and he said with a bit of consolation: "It was just an accident, Brody, this time it was only because I accidentally learned about them that I encountered such a thing, and even almost let You get hurt too—"

"I'll be more careful in the future, I promise."

"Are you sure that nothing will happen to you again?" Brody didn't have a smile on his face, and before Bruce was about to speak, he said in a calm voice, "Or, just promise that I won't be involved?"

Bruce: "..."

The expression on his face froze for a moment, but it soon returned to normal. However, this time, Brody didn't miss it. He stared at his brother closely, seeing this change in his eyes.

"I can't guarantee that I won't have an accident, Brody," Bruce said in a low voice, slowly, "Although I have enough wealth, I can't guarantee that accidents won't come to my door, but I will pay attention, and I will Take your own safety very seriously.”

"I have you behind me, so I will keep that in mind."

"I promise."

When Bruce explained in a low voice, he kept looking at his brother, the sincerity and focus in those deep eyes were enough to make anyone believe his words, and even Brody was a little shaken.

If it wasn't for Brody's solid evidence, he probably really believed his brother's words.

"Is that all?"

Bruce opened his mouth, the feeling of discomfort grew stronger, but he remained calm, "No matter what you want me to promise, Brody, at least you have to tell me so I can know."

This is the safest answer before Bruce can figure out what exactly Brody knows is worth.

"...Okay," Brody nodded, "I see." He understood his brother's attitude.

Bruce tentatively said, "You can tell me, I'm always willing to hear anything from you."

"But you kept something from me."

"what you mean?"

"Something about that dark superhero."

"...Are you talking about Batman?" Bruce said calmly, "I told you this before, his appearance was pretty good and shocked many people, although I think his taste in dressing himself up as a bat is really bad. Kind of weird."

"..."

Brody thought from the bottom of his heart that if his brother went to act, he would probably be able to win the Best Actor Award very quickly. To be honest, if he hadn't already confirmed this matter, he would have really been fooled this time.

"I thought you liked bats."

Bruce frowned. "Just because I like it doesn't mean I think it's good to look like this. It does look weird."

Brody sighed, and decided not to let his brother continue to fool him. After all, his brother can complain about himself, and he is unwilling to admit it.

Brody took out the phone from his pocket, fiddled with it twice, and then pointed the screen at Bruce

"Then what is this?"

After seeing the content on the screen clearly, Bruce froze.
