When Bruce returned to Wayne Manor with the three Robins, Thomas was arguing with Nightwing. What happened is probably like this. The time Thomas and Nightwing talked was obviously not enough time for Dick to finish his French homework, so when Thomas went up to check the homework, he was miserable.
In fact, it was not that Dick didn't write at all, but what he did write was written blindly when he was too sleepy. This was more fatal than not writing at all, because it reflected his French proficiency very well - Dick successfully made France and the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets once again prospered together at the end of the twentieth century.
Thomas was furious after reading it. He felt that he had tried his best to suppress his anger and talk to Dick properly, but Nightwing felt that he was asking too much. Dick was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. The most important thing now was that he should let Dick He slept with her, otherwise it was pure abuse, and the two got into a fight.
Going off topic is an inevitable part of a quarrel. After arguing, the two came to the topic of the relationship between ballet and French.
Yeyi feels that there is no necessary connection between learning ballet and learning French, so there is no need to learn them together. Even if he wants to learn French, he does not necessarily have to learn ballet. Thomas's idea is
"So you don't know ballet yet? Then let's learn it together." In fact, there is no reason to argue with a grown-up parent like Thomas. Anyway, in the end all logic will return to
Regarding the eternal argument of "are you the father or am I the father?", Nightwing certainly cannot think that he can be Batman's father, so he can't quarrel with Thomas at all.
When Bruce came back, he was talking to Red Robin.
"...Since you have a foundation in surgical techniques, I think you only need to add two more classes to take the second round of anatomy classes with Harley..."
"I can give you extra classes, but I will be busy afterwards, so you can follow Harley to help the unknown lady. She has recently made significant research results in the field of skin regeneration and published three articles in a short period of time. District, if you can get a first-class research on this subject, it will not be difficult to get an offer from the Metropolitan University School of Medicine..." Then, he turned to the other side and said to the red hood: "I don't think you are interested in medicine. If you are interested, I can contact you with Bain and Deathstroke who are still staying at the Mercenary Union Hotel on the island, and ask him if he can be your sparring partner."
"I don't know if Bane in your universe uses chemicals to strengthen himself, but if you want to fight against him, it's best to learn some knowledge of chemistry. Zatanna is currently studying with Professor Crane. I can add some extra I'll give you an extra week of tutoring, and then you can catch up..." Thomas stopped arguing with Nightwing and listened carefully. He heard the kid wearing the red hood mutter a few words. , but finally said: "Fighting against Bain and Deathstroke is not just about solving chemistry issues..."
"It doesn't matter. Even if you are cut in half, the puppeteer can sew you back together again." Without looking at the pouted Red Hood, Bruce paused again and waited for Damian behind him. Then he put his hand on his back and said: "I didn't expect that you are the most comprehensive among the Bat family, but I think you don't have much opportunity to practice business, so I think I can give Villain Island to You take care of it for a while..." Damian was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly followed Bruce and asked, "Can I run the entire island? Really? "
"Yes, but you still have a lot to learn. Tomorrow I will take you to meet the two magicians introduced by Constantine and the demons they contracted with. Those are our future customers."
"Three days later, we are going to hell to attend the wedding of Beelzebub's thirty-second daughter. He specially invited me to be the witness. Then we are going to the dream world to pick up Clark's dog and send it to Mexico to be with him. To reunite, I have to accompany Diana back to Mount Olympus from her brother to pick up something that was customized there before and send it to the space station where she is working..." When he reached the stairs, Bruce held on to the handrail and said, "Okay. Now, remember the arrangements, go back to sleep." The three of them returned to their rooms obediently without saying a word. Thomas and Nightwing stood in the living room and stared at each other, then looked at Bruce together, Thomas The first person frowned and asked, "What kind of ecstasy soup did you give them?"
"Why is my bank card frozen?" Bruce thought of another thing.
"You actually have the nerve to ask?!" Thomas puffed his beard and glared. He said with great dissatisfaction: "The Wayne Group's economy has finally improved a bit. You spend 1.5 billion US dollars a month. Do you know the consequences of this? ?"
"Of course, Wayne Group's financial situation will become extremely precarious." Bruce stood behind the back of the sofa, crossing his arms and said, "Then we can borrow money from banks and the state, and they have to lend it to us. Because they can't bring down Wayne Group. If there's not enough money, then they'll print money." Thomas was speechless. He looked at Bruce and said, "Is the money you get from overdrafting the national finances for you to spend randomly?"
"But I do need the money."
"Do you think I will support you uncontrollably?"
"Of course you will."
"Why?"
"Because if you don't, I will report you to the Communist Party." Thomas was stunned. Bruce slowly walked up to Thomas, looked into his eyes and said, "The sixteen largest payments among the thirty-two newly registered companies last month must have gone to countries other than Mexico, right?" Thomas slowly said Xu narrowed his eyes and said in a dangerous tone: "...you are checking my account?"
"I don't have it, but I have my own way." Bruce spread his arms again and said, "I will be given half of the military expenses. I just pretend I don't know."
"You want to threaten me?"
"Of course not, it's just a coincidence."
"...a third, tell me what the problem is."
"Half, no bargaining." Thomas stared at Bruce in silence for a long time. After a while, he took a step back and looked at him from head to toe as if getting to know him again. Then he took a deep breath and said.
"Deal, tell me how you found out." Bruce had already walked back to the door of his room along the stairs. He stood in front of the patio upstairs and looked back, and then left only one sentence before entering the door. .
"There is no flaw in America."
The door to the room closed with a bang, and Thomas's raised eyes retracted, and for a moment he showed a shocked expression as if he had thought of something.
"Afu! Afu!!" Thomas said as he walked towards the cloakroom: "Get the car ready, I want to go out! Hurry!" After Alfred responded, Thomas' low-pitched curses came from the cloakroom.
"Why is this damn prodigal son so bold?! How can he guarantee that he will not be discovered...Afu! Afu! Get me the phone book. I have to contact the people over there to make sure he is not on the contact list...still Someone from the CIA..." Thomas's voice disappeared into the night sky as he ran out the door. Nightwing in the living room didn't understand what they were arguing about, he only remembered what
"Mexico",
"Maximum amount",
Words like "CIA". He lowered his head and looked at his watch. It was already early in the morning, and it would be dawn in a little while. Nightwing felt a little tired after working hard for most of the night, so he slowly walked back to the room and threw himself into the soft bed. on the big bed and wanted to have a good sleep.
Nightwing thought he wouldn't be able to sleep. He often fell into deep fatigue after a busy day, but couldn't fall asleep at all. But there were some exceptions today. He slept well until Alfred knocked on the door and called. He ate breakfast, but he was still a little confused and couldn't wake up.
The sleepy Nightwing walked out of the room and looked down the patio, seeing others gathered on the sofa waiting for breakfast.
Barbara Gordon rushed into Wayne Manor in a hurry. She picked up the water glass on the coffee table and drank a few sips. She spread her hands and said, "You don't know how crazy I was last night!"
"What's wrong?" Red Robin asked, holding a glass of water. Barbara took a breath first, and then said: "Last night, a group of gang bosses rushed to James's house, that damn Gordon Manor, and insisted on discussing with him the rap contest held in Gotham! I was They settled the score for half a night!"
"Rap contest?" Red Hood's features wrinkled. Barbara looked at his expression and said with a sudden realization: "Oh, you don't know yet, right? There is a rapper in Gotham who is very popular recently. He has been in the top ten of the Billboard chart for a week. He just entered the top last night. Three, we may hit the number one spot tomorrow.”
"His nickname is 'The Gotham Kid'. His rap album has become popular all over the world. I heard it is a strong contender for this year's Grammy Awards. Gotham has also become popular. The gangsters want to strike while the iron is hot and hold a rap competition. The mayor wants to use this to revitalize tourism.”
"Damn it!" Red Hood scolded: "Gotham is developing tourism? Who would come to Gotham for tourism?" Barbara sat on the sofa, sitting on the right side of Bruce. She took another sip of water. He calmed down and said, "Don't tell me. Gotham is so popular right now. It has become the hometown of gangsta rap. Many people are very curious about this place."
"Absolutely ridiculous," Red Robin commented.
"There's something even more ridiculous." Barbara glanced at Bruce next to her and said, "What do you think the hot album of that red-and-purple Gotham boy is called?"
"What's it called?" Red Hood asked curiously as he picked up the water cup and drank.
"'King of Gotham'!"
"Pfft!" Red Hood squirted out a mouthful of water, and then choked and coughed. The three Robins all looked at Bruce opposite who was playing with the computer at the same time.
Bruce's expression remained unchanged. He was playing with a very bulky box-like computer, with a hard drive attached next to it.
Barbara instinctively followed the three Robins' gazes towards Bruce, and then discovered that Bruce's computer display showed the backstage of a certain bank.
The Batman in this world is really strange, Barbara thought. He doesn't mind others calling themselves the King of Gotham?
Wait, bank backend? ? ? Barbara looked at the computer screen in confusion. She carefully looked at the distribution of images on the interface, and then screamed in shock.
"Batman! What are you doing?!" Barbara yelled. Bruce turned to look at her calmly, then turned back to continue playing with the computer. Watching Bruce enter a number that was longer than a phone number into the input box, Barbara rushed up to him and grabbed him and clicked OK. Hand, repeated in horror.
"Batman! What are you doing?! Bruce fiddled with the card in his hand and said, "My bank card has been frozen. I have to think of something. "
“Then why did you hack into the backend of the Fed?!
"I'm going to borrow some money." Barbara froze on the spot, staring at Bruce in disbelief, and Bruce looked into her eyes sincerely and said.
“My teacher friend taught me this – systemic borrowing and lending in macroeconomics.”
"ah???!
"Borrow at the macro level and pay back at the systemic level." Barbara cracked, and even more cracked than she was Nightwing, who had already walked to the breakfast table and picked up the newspaper.
A line of big words on the front page of the newspaper immediately woke up Yeyi, who had not yet fully woken up from his sleep, and broke into a cold sweat.
"CIA Director James Woolsey said that in the past month, several large amounts of unknown money have flowed into Mexico, or the Soviet Union secretly funded the Communist Movement!"
