Chapter 1,231 The Farm of Justice (13)
After Thomas reacted from his initial shock, his first reaction was to disbelief.
Let’s not talk about how big it is that Batman might borrow money from Joker. This amount alone is very wrong.
How could Bruce Wayne not even $100???
But at this time, Jason walked up, picked up the IOU that Jack slapped on the table and looked at it, and said, "It's really Bruce's handwriting. Let me see who the guarantor is... Oh, a gangster boss in the East Side, I have a little impression of him."
Thomas' fingertips trembled a little. He stared at Jason. Jason looked at him innocently and said, "Some time ago, Bruce seemed to have gone to the slum. I had heard Selena complain before, saying, 'Why can't this young master think so, and he has to go to the slum to starve?'."
Judging from Jason's actions and expression, he didn't seem to be lying. After Thomas came to this conclusion, he could not describe his mood.
This kind of mood is indeed very complicated, and it is difficult to empathize without giving an example.
If you want to describe it, it is probably that you have a mortal enemy who has started bullying you since he was a child, stealing your toys and pocket money, leading the whole class to isolate you when he goes to school, bullying you, and motivating colleagues and leaders to exclude you when he goes to work.
You want to stay away from him, but he always follows you like a shadow, constantly harassing all your family and friends until you drive them crazy.
You wanted to kill him with anger, but you found that he could not die, and your revenge would only cause even more crazy and bloody revenge.
In the end, he made all the people you care about the most miserable, and made you a real lonely person.
And one day, he suddenly came to the door, but not to continue to torture you. Just when you swung your fist and wanted to teach him a lesson, he told you that your son owed him money.
The most terrifying thing about this is that you can tell by just thinking about it how happy and proud your son will be when he begged him to borrow money in a low voice.
Not only did he not pay any price for his bad behavior, he could even ridicule your education level high, which would make you deeply understand that this is not a loss of both sides, but your one-sided defeat.
After encountering this kind of thing, in addition to the extreme anger, there is also an extra sadness in my heart, which will make people have the idea of "what I am doing in my whole life".
This is exactly what Thomas is now, and he even began to doubt the need for human reproduction.
If there is still a little room for understanding when looking for a clown to see a doctor and prescribe medicine, then it would be outrageous to ask the clown to borrow money.
In the first half of Thomas's life, most of the time he played a good husband, a good father and a successful businessman. He would teach his children not to be proud and complacent, so he would not be very proud, but be as approachable as possible.
But from a subjective or objective perspective, the glory of the Wayne family is indeed the part of Thomas, and he is also a human being. Of course, he will also feel proud and proud of the wealth and social status he has.
After becoming Batman, he lost almost everything he could lose, his children, wife, friends, and everything else that could make him fear and feel a little safe, that is, his wealth.
When learning that Batman in other worlds is his son Bruce, Thomas still has a sense of luck.
Fortunately, he left a huge legacy for his son and Wayne Group. No matter what, Batman is at least rich and does not have to experience both spiritual and material deficiencies.
But now, for Bruce in this world, huge wealth is not useful. He was found by his enemies, but not because of earth-shaking love, hate, and love, but just because of $100.
Thomas stood there silently. After a while, he turned his head and said to Alfred: "... Give this gentleman $100 and ask him out."
He turned around and wanted to leave, but heard a series of crazy laughter coming from behind. Thomas turned back and found that Jack the clown was very close.
Jack stared at Thomas with his blood-filled eyes and said, "That guy is right, you don't understand your son at all, or even at all!"
Jack suddenly turned around, bent down and picked up the IOU on the table, put it in front of Thomas, and looked at him and said, "Can you see clearly? Can you see the amount written on it?"
Thomas's eyes still fell on the IOU. It clearly stated that $100 was written on it, but Jack seemed to be unable to see it. He stretched out his other hand and pointed at the words on the IOU with his finger and said:
"This is not $100, this is the whole Gotham."
After saying that, he took two steps back, carefully folded the IOU and stuffed it back into his pocket, let out two more laughs, and looked at Thomas with a sarcastic expression and said, "Don't be stupid, Master Batman, you are far worse than him, you can't pay the debt!"
The contempt and determination in his tone made Thomas confused. Jack the clown left humming a song, with a pleasant expression and a light step, as if he was not here to collect debts, but just to come and mock Thomas.
Thomas understood Jack's implication. Jack said that he could not pay back the account, but Bruce could do it, so he planned to wait for Bruce to come back, but Thomas didn't understand why.
Batman hates Joker's entanglement, but when the Joker disdains to entangle him, he will feel even more awkward.
After Jack left, Thomas sat on the sofa and thought quietly for a long time. Originally, Martha's death brought him great mental stimulation, which led to him being in a state of inability to think rationally after coming to this universe.
But there are too many mysteries in this universe, and he must force himself to calm down. Thomas took a few deep breaths, blocked the complex emotions in his thinking, and began to gradually clarify the context behind these abnormalities.
It seems that Bruce did nothing, but the environment he is in and the attitude of the people who know him shows that he must have done something. If you want to figure out what he did, you still have to start with the details.
The mature Batman can quickly wisely deduce the root of the matter. After a while, Thomas stood up from the sofa and turned to Alfred and said, "Prepare a suit for me, and there should be a suit I can wear, right?"
"Of course, lord, you are much stronger than before, but the suits you prepared before also have large sizes. I'm going to iron my clothes now. Are you going to go out?"
"Yes, help me prepare the car. By the way, Morey should still work in the group, right? It's my paper, red hair wearing glasses, you should have seen him once."
"Yes, sir, he is still serving as the chairman's clerk in Wayne Group. Do you want me to help you contact him?"
"Call him and ask him to help me draft a speech. The theme is that the assassination that Wayne and his wife were many years ago did not end up killing each other. I was not dead, but kidnapped to Nepal and were recuperating there. Now, I am back."
Soon, Alfred ironed his suit, Thomas went upstairs and changed his clothes, his temples were completely white, but this added an extra majesty and momentum to him, more like the helm of the world's top group than many years ago.
He strode into the living room, Alfred opened the door for him, and as soon as he left the door, he saw the car and a middle-aged man with red hair.
The man with a fat figure and red hair with glasses came up with tears.
Before Morey could speak, Thomas waved his hand at him and walked straight into the car. When the car started, Thomas sorted out his tie and spoke expressionlessly:
"Contact the heads of various departments of Wayne Group...I want to check the accounts."
Another delicious and hearty meal at Kent Farm in Smallville ended.
Diana and Louise, who had helped cook, both leaned on the sofa to digest food, while Clark and Bruce, who were unable to prepare ingredients, both stood in the kitchen to wash dishes.
Clark, wearing gloves, gently tapped the edge of the plate and said, "...Did you see it? You have to turn the brush like this, pinch the edge of the plate with a sponge and rub it around, so that it will become very clean. Have you never brushed the bowl at home?"
"Don't ask stupid questions." Bruce said expressionlessly while clumsyly holding the plate around.
After saying that, Bruce looked down at the bottom of the cabinet and said in confusion: "Don't your house have a dishwasher? Why do you still need to wash it by hand?"
"My mother insists that the dishwasher cannot be cleaned." Clark shook his head and said, "Since I bought this machine, I have only used the drying function... Oh, by the way, don't move the dish next to you after washing, put it in the dishwasher to dry and sterilize it."
Bruce shook his head, obviously disagreed with this view, but he said nothing and still lowered his head and brushed the plate.
Bruce's expression was very serious and focused, as if he was holding not a plate, but a high-tech part that could change the future of mankind.
Clark turned his head and looked at him, feeling it was a little funny, so he actually laughed out loud.
"What are you laughing at?" Bruce also turned his head and said unhappily.
"Hahahahahahaha, nothing, I just think... I just think it's a bit funny, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" Clark laughed louder and louder, almost a little out of breath.
Bruce looked at him like a fool with his lips. When he turned around, he found that the two girls in the living room seemed to be attracted by Clark's laughter, and he was looking at this place.
In order to stop Clark's smirk, Bruce glanced left and right, then took out a large ball of foam from the sink where water and dishwashing liquid were mixed, and threw it on Clark's face.
Clark was not willing to be outdone at all, and immediately scraped off the foam on his hands and plates and threw them on Bruce's forehead.
Who is Bruce? Batman never suffered a loss. He touched his forehead, quickly reached out and scratched half of the foam from the sink, and used more foam to paste Clark's face.
Clark fought back again, and after a while, the two of them were covered in bubbles. Just when the battle was not decided, a familiar scream suddenly came from the door.
"Clark!!! How old are you, you are still playing in water??!!!!"
