I just want to live a peaceful life in DC world

Chapter 39 If I want to guard the night of Gotham, I have to pay more

Well, the child's question is really a joke, and it can only be a joke.

Jacques convinced himself in this way, and then began to think about what Batman said later, recalling the scene at that time, he immediately understood why Batman knew his name and the content of the conversation with Talia.

"The Gadget"

Jacques touched his trouser pocket and found it was empty.And the next moment Batman lifted a small object from his hand, which happened to be what Jacques was looking for.

"You're looking for this, aren't you—but you should have found out earlier, because I couldn't help but want to warn you of the danger."

What Batman is holding is the small EMP device that Walker gave to Jacques. In fact, when Jacques saw the bat mark on it, he vaguely expected it to be like this.

Jacques sighed, looked at Batman as if he had given up on something, and said helplessly.

"So what are you going to do with me? If you still hate me for hurting you, I can sincerely apologize; if you're going to send me to Arkham Asylum, I want a single room—"

"Don't be stupid, Jacques. You are a smart person, you should know what I just said - I want to cooperate with you to solve the current problems in Gotham City."

Batman's words are thick and magnetic, giving people a feeling of self-control, and his deep eyes seem to be able to see through all his thoughts.

Jacques hesitated for a moment, then sighed softly.

"It sounds very tempting. Gotham's most famous superhero invited me to work with him. This is probably the honor that many people dream of—"

"But I refuse."

Who are you kidding, Batman getting himself to team up with him means facing off against a huge legion of Batman fans.Although the head of the fan club has been dead for three years, the others are not vegetarians, and Jacques has no intention of causing trouble for himself.

Heroes or something, whoever likes to be whoever he wants, Jacques doesn't have this habit of hanging around in tights.

However, after hearing Jacques' resolute refusal, Batman didn't seem to care, and continued to speak in a deep voice.

"I won't be able to act personally for at least half a year. But things like tonight will continue to happen. Gotham's night can't let it go, so I want someone to act instead of me during this time"

"Hey, wait, didn't I already say—"

"Although Batgirl has rich experience, she has just recovered from a serious illness, and she has many enemies that are physically difficult to deal with; other people have their own missions for the time being, and I can't let them give up their missions and rush back because it has only been half a year and there is no clear enemy situation. .”

"I said, I reject your proposal!"

Finally, Batman stopped talking to himself, and stared at Jacques with sharp eyes - Jacques began to understand why some people said that the coldest thing in the DC world is Batman's disapproving gaze.

"No, it's not. I don't think this kind of thing should be so hasty. You see, you don't know me very well."

"You haven't understood what I mean, Jacques. What I said just now is not a proposal, but a notice—you have no right to refuse, because you are responsible for my injury, then you personally eliminate it during this time." This influence is your duty."

Feeling the cold breath from Batman, Jacques realized that he had made a mistake-although Batman is a person who abides by the principle of not killing, it also means that other than this bottom line, other moral principles The law regulates Batman and doesn't care.

"But why me, Batman. Anyway, I'm a clone of the most dangerous criminal Gotham has ever seen, and I've never abided by your no-kill policy, so I'm not a qualified candidate in any way. "

Hearing what Jacques said, Batman pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and took off his bat mask.

"Wait, you reveal your identity in front of me—"

"Why are you nervous? Didn't you already show that you knew my identity when you talked to Thalia? Besides, it would be too unreasonable to ask you to bear the responsibility I shoulder, and to hide my identity from you."

After taking off the mask, a middle-aged man with a handsome face appeared in front of Jacques.

"Who do you see? It's Bruce Wayne, the playboy heir to the Gotham Group. No matter how you look at it, I'm not the right person to go out and fight criminals in disguise."

"But I trained and put on a mask to change myself, and I did it—and you too, Joaquin, you're a very pure person, both in character and experience. I think as long as you've been trained, you can Make the same changes."

Having said that, Batman, or Bruce Wayne handed the Bat Hood to Jacques, but the latter didn't take it.

"But I don't want to change, Mr. Wayne. Even if you impose this responsibility on me, it's not my style to actively fight crime. To tell you the truth, I just want to live a peaceful life in Gotham. I have no interest at all in the days of worrying every night-"

"I want to live a peaceful life in Gotham, do you have money? Jacques."

Ugh?
Wait, didn't we just talk about heroes, ideals, and life? Why did we suddenly talk about such a realistic topic?

Jacques stared at Batman dumbfounded, who showed an unpredictable smile.

"I've done some research. Now you are mainly staying at Harley Quinn's house. The only source of income for the two of you is Harley's part-time job at a fast food restaurant—but this job may not last long, because the fast food restaurant Because of the increase in shop rent and the increase in raw material prices, the scale is about to be reduced.”

"Wait, let me slow down, suddenly this—"

"I have money, Joaquin, a lot of money. As long as you work for me for half a year, I can give you enough money. I think, is 3 million US dollars enough? This is enough to make both you and Harley Little rich people, live the rest of your life comfortably. You can find a country with good law and order, such as a big country in the East; or just buy an island, and then enjoy the peaceful life you want."

hiss.

Jacques took a breath. Originally he thought that Batman was already the most powerful person in Gotham, but he didn't expect that Bruce Wayne, after taking off the mask, is truly omnipotent—money can't solve all problems , but it can solve most of the problems and make the remaining small problems easier and simpler.

To be honest, talking about money is very vulgar, but Jacques doesn't want to lie to himself, it's hard not to be moved.

It only takes half a year to retire early and enjoy the benefits. Is this a temptation that normal people can resist?The ability to drop this money is much more than the pile of ideal responsibilities before.

But Jacques still didn't make up his mind immediately. After all, working for Batman in Gotham is a high-risk occupation, second only to Arkham guards, night shift security guards and chemical plant workers.
"You can form a team to complete this job, as long as you can complete the task I proposed, it doesn't matter whether you take action or not, you can sit in the back and command safely - this is your freedom."

Hearing what Bruce said to himself with a smile as if he had the ability to read minds, Jacques secretly sighed in his heart that Batman deserved to be a master of psychology, and at the same time he had already made a choice.

"Being a hero in Gotham is a very dangerous job that requires a strong will and a fearless spirit that pays extra."

It has to be said that Bruce Wayne, as a capitalist, may be more terrifying than the elusive Batman.

Seeing that Jacques agreed, Bruce Wayne also showed a faint smile on his face.

"Very well, let's talk about the details of the contract later. Now you should go and see your newborn child—after all, she is your own flesh and blood."

what?
Finally, the fact that Jacques had been deliberately ignoring it just now was put before him again.

I, Jacques, a seven-foot man, really gave birth to a cub?
