In the early hours of the morning, when Gotham's criminals seemed to be tired and resting after a night of activities, Russell, who had a fruitful night, returned to Wayne Manor.
Yesterday, Bruce Wayne's butler Alfred arranged a room for Russell as a guest. Russell, who couldn't put it off, could only stay here for one night and could only decide to stay in a hotel the next day.
Avoiding all the monitors and without anyone noticing, Russell quietly returned to his room.
In the room that was supposed to be empty, just after Russell entered the room, subtle rubbing sounds were heard, followed immediately by the sound of another footsteps besides Russell.
The next second, after Russell turned on the light in the room, another 'Russell' came up to him.
The two Russells faced each other, and for a while the whole room was filled with a strange atmosphere.
Suddenly, 'Russell', wearing a bathrobe, said: "You are back, Master.".
"Yes." Russell responded. After changing out of the Celestial Master's clothes, he asked the other Russell, who had been standing silently beside him with an expressionless face, "Nothing happened after I left, right?" .
Stand-in Russell replied: "Except for a maid who brought some food, no one else came.".
Russell nodded and said, "Excuse me, go change your clothes now. Your mission is over."
"Yes, Master." After the substitute Russell responded, he turned and walked to the bedroom of the suite. After changing out of his bathrobe, he put on a coat exactly like the one Russell would wear tomorrow and stood quietly by the bed. .
"Enter sleep mode."
As Russell's order was issued, the substitute Russell entered a dormant state. Then Russell walked in front of the substitute, raised his hand and put it into the system's backpack.
"Well, the system backpack is a little insufficient now."
Seeing that his system backpack, which was only three cubes in size, seemed a bit crowded after putting in his avatar, Russell murmured and looked at the expansion of the system backpack.
Expanding one cubic meter of space requires 500 achievement points.
After thinking about it, Russell spent 2,500 points to expand it by five cubic meters, making the system backpack space reach eight cubic meters.
Over the years, he has only expanded the system backpack that was originally only one cube in size to three cubes.
The reason for this is that in addition to the relatively small area used before, another reason is that the achievement points are basically used for the research of breeding equipment.
Of course, without the large amount of achievement points consumed before, there would be no current equipment, so Russell did not feel bad about these achievement points that should be consumed.
After looking at the system backpack that had grown a lot with satisfaction, Russell ate some of the food that the maid had sent before, washed himself, sat on the bed and started his daily practice.
…
"Morning, Alfred."
Early in the morning, after Russell got up and left the room, he saw Alfred who was busy at work.
Alfred stopped, turned around, smiled at Russell, and said: "Good morning, Mr. Bloom.".
"I was still thinking about whether I should wake you up and go eat the breakfast I prepared. Now I see, I don't have to worry about it anymore." Ah Fu looked relieved.
Of course, Russell didn't really take the other person's current expression as the other person's current mood. There were not many things that could make Alfred tangled up. This old man with a background in special forces should not be underestimated. After all, he could defend his position when surrounded by wolves. In the case of the Wayne family, raising Bruce Wayne alone is enough to prove the other party's ability.
If you underestimate Alfred, you will suffer a loss. After all, he is the man behind Batman.
"Sorry for your trouble." Russell maintained a polite attitude.
Alfred showed admiration and said, "A polite young man who always looks so handsome must be very popular with girls."
Russell's face became solemn and he said seriously: "Alfred, when you were young, there must have been many girls pursuing you!".
Hearing this, Alfred's face that still retained some of the handsomeness of his youth shook slightly. After a hearty laugh, he winked at Russell and said with a thick smile: "Now Still very popular!"
Russell nodded with a smile, which immediately made Alfred smile even happier.
"Okay, Mr. Bloom, let me take you to the restaurant first." Alfred made an inviting gesture.
"Sorry to trouble you." Russell said, followed Alfred and walked towards the restaurant.
While Russell was eating the breakfast carefully prepared by Alfred, Bruce came over and saw Russell sitting leisurely at the dining table. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, his mouth opened, and after a deliberate yawn, he said: " Russell, why did you get up so early?".
Russell raised his head, smearing jam on the bread in his hand, and said, "I went to bed early and didn't want you to have such a rich nightlife."
"How's it going? Did you get anything from last night?"
Bruce had just sat at the dining table. When he suddenly heard Russell's question, his fingers trembled slightly, and with a hint of exhaustion, he said helplessly: "I have gained something, but I am just too tired."
Russell smiled and shook his head and said: "Be careful, your body is important.".
"young people……"
"Young people should pay more attention to their health. You have to learn this from Mr. Bloom." Alfred said to Bruce expressionlessly.
Bruce spread his hands and began to concentrate on eating breakfast.
A few minutes later, Russell finished his breakfast and saw that Bruce was about the same. He took out a black ring and turned it around twice in his hand, then threw it to Bruce and said, "I almost forgot about business."
Bruce picked up the ring, looked at it, put it in his jacket pocket, and said, "Thank you."
"Thank you, you pay and I deliver the goods. It's a fair deal." Knocking on the table, Russell stood up and said, "Since the things have been brought to you, I'll leave. I haven't taken care of Gotham yet." Look."
"Want me to find you a guide?"
Waving his hand, Russell said: "No need. When traveling, I still like to walk and see by myself. Whether I understand or not is my own experience. It's really uncomfortable to have one more person around me."
After he finished speaking, Russell took the suitcase that the maid had just pulled out for him, said 'thank you', then turned around and said: "Thank you for your hospitality, Alfred.".
Alfred nodded and said, "I'll prepare a car for you.".
"Thank you." After responding, Russell walked towards Bruce, handed the safety device to him, and said, "Don't forget to tell me next time you come to New York."
"Haha! I will definitely do it!" Bruce smiled, then looked at Russell seriously and said, "Be careful and contact me or Ah Fu if you encounter any trouble."
Russell raised his hand and bent the finger with the colonial ring on it, and said: "Don't worry.".
