Popular recommendation:

When Selena took Aisha from Bruce, it was already a little hard. After all, Aisha is not a baby. It is a little difficult for a three or four-year-old child to hold it. Selena is not as tall as Bruce, and wants to control the excitement. Aisha in her state naturally struggled even more.

But at this time, after a short pause in the trapeze performance, it reached a climax again, and the dazzling aerial movements made Aisha completely excited. She jumped forward so hard that Selena couldn't catch it.

Elsa jumped directly to the front seat, then climbed along the chair to the ground, and passed under the seat in the front row, and Selena chased after the same route.

But who knows, Aisha seems to have awakened some superpower, and the speed is unbelievable, disappearing into the stacked seats in the auditorium almost instantly.

Selena was completely lost, so she could only find them in rows.

At the same time, at the backstage of the stage, a small black shadow ran past. The boss of the circus felt something moving. He turned around, but found nothing.

At this time, the owner of the circus was holding a saw and approached the wooden stakes that fixed the trapeze ropes.

In the trapeze performance, the rope used to swing is hung on a higher rope, and the circus owner is holding a saw and grinning as he approaches the stake that fixes the highest rope.

The circus owner held the saw and began to saw the thick rope, cursing very relieved while sawing, but just as the rope was about to be cut, a small figure instantly appeared and bit his arm.

Elsa isn't here to seek justice. She is always interested in moving things. When the circus owner is sawing something, when his arm is up and down, only his arm can move in the dark backstage. Of course Elsa wants to. Unwilling to bite it.

It's a pity that Aisha's weight is too light, and the bite is not heavy, just like the usual bite of Bruce and Selena's arms, except for leaving a row of teeth marks, it did not cause substantial damage, and only The circus boss's arm sluggish for a moment.

The sturdy rope that had been sawed to its limit, with only the last remaining strands remaining connected, but it broke in the end.

But it was those few seconds of lag that brought Bruce out of the bathroom closer to the stage.

The moment the rope snapped, the two people hanging on the rope began to fall, but it would take a few seconds for such a long rope to be completely pulled out from the other end. , Bruce rushed to the stage in an instant, and in the shadow of the curtain, he grabbed the flying rope.

But he was only one person, and there were two people falling on the other end of the rope. His weight was not enough to stop the two people on the rope from falling. Bruce thought about this problem before grabbing the rope, so he grabbed the rope with one hand and used The arm circled twice, and then the other hand quickly grabbed the curtain beside him.

With a fixed point, the rope stopped pulling away, and the Graysons at the other end of the rope stopped in midair.

Suddenly, Bruce heard the sound of inhaling cold air. He turned his head and saw that behind the curtain, stood the little boy who claimed to be the heir to the Grayson family.

He opened his eyes, opened his mouth, and looked at Bruce in shock.

There is still some distance from the auditorium to the stage. There are several rows of seats in front of Bruce's position, and the stage is higher than the auditorium, and there are three steps next to it. Bruce completed the turn in just a few seconds. The seat, rushing up the steps, grabbing the rope, grabbing the curtain.

The quick response, the smooth movement, and the precise handling made this look less like a hero saving lives, and more like an artistic performance. In the eyes of little Grayson onlookers, Bruce's whole body was glowing.

Bruce sighed and said, "Don't be stunned, come and help pull the rope."

Little Grayson reacted from the shock, only to realize that his parents were just about to fall, the shock on his face turned to anger, and while helping Bruce to pull the rope down, he said: "It must be the circus owner who did it. Yes! He has been disgusting with my father for a long time!!"

After a while, the rope was pulled back into place, and the two actors were back on the platform, and they stepped down and thanked Bruce.

Mrs. Grayson was already in tears, and Little Grayson said angrily, "It must be him! Let's go to him to settle the account!"

"Don't go! Dick! Come back!" Mrs. Grayson called him, and the boy named Dick had rushed out, but was finally called back by his mother.

"Can you tell me what's going on here?"

At this time, Mrs. Grayson was on the verge of collapse. She hugged her husband and cried non-stop, and Mr. Grayson was also a little decadent. These two couples were just ordinary people who had just experienced a life-and-death crisis and were hanged in the air for some reason. The fear of falling down from time to time has completely crushed their hearts.

As if looking for an outlet, Mr. Grayson said to Bruce: "...I know he did it, the owner of the circus, and we don't want to work here, but there's nothing we can do."

"There should be quite a few circuses on the east coast, why don't you go there?"

Mr. Grayson sighed and said, "You shouldn't pay attention to this, right? My father, old Grayson, the previous generation of trapeze, made a major mistake in his performance. Not only did he fall from the air , and just hit the edge of the stage prop, he..."

"Okay, I know, you don't have to go into details, please mourn."

"It was a performance at a high-profile charity dinner. Many of the participants were dignitaries. They had never seen blood. This **** death scared many of them, and the Grayson family was discredited. The big circus The regiment is reluctant to hire us, afraid that we will make such a mess again..."

"Only this circus is willing to accept us, because this is Gotham, people are not afraid of us falling to death..."

The reason was both absurd and plausible, and Bruce couldn't say anything to refute it. He asked the Graysons, "You're not native of Gotham, are you?"

"Actually, we have been here for a long time, and we have bought our own house. We are half a local, but our hometown is Bludhaven."

"Let's go back, back to Bludhaven!" sobbed Mrs. Grayson. "Give it up, we can't let little Dick live in such a dreadful environment..."

Mr. Grayson pursed his lips, his face was haggard, and Mrs. Grayson continued to cry and said: "I know, I know you have always wanted to revive the family business, but it really can't go on like this, you have to think about it, if we die Now, what's going to happen to poor little Dick? In Gotham, orphans without parents are likely to be sent to that horrible foster school and then..."

Mrs. Grayson began to cry again. Bruce heard some information in her words, but it was not easy to ask questions now. Little Grayson walked up to comfort his mother, and the family of three hugged.

When Bruce walked backstage, Selena was finishing the last knot, and the circus owner was **** by her, and Elsa was still biting on his arm.

When Bruce went to hug Elsa, he thought he was going to fight her again, but unexpectedly, Elsa easily let go.

Seeing the saw next to him, Bruce knew what was going on, he called Gordon, then hugged Elsa and left the circus with Selena.

Just as they were getting on the sports car and were about to drive home, a figure appeared in front of his car. Bruce let go of the steering wheel, turned his head, looked at the figure, and asked, "...Dick? What's the matter with you? What are you going to do?"

Dick came round the front of the car, stood by the door of Bruce's driver's seat, and said, "My parents are going back to Brudhaven."

"Then congratulations to them, it's much better than Gotham, and you should live a stable life."

"But I don't want to go back..."

"why?"

Dick pursed his lips. Although he was young, he had a determined look, and he said, "My grandfather's death was not an accident at all."

"how do you know?"

"I checked." Dick said very firmly: "The crossbar on his final curtain call was manipulated, I checked the rope, and the marks on it showed that it was a wrong knot. The knots that hold the bars are not supposed to be like that at all..."

Bruce narrowed his eyes and asked him, "So,"

"You're not a normal person, are you?" Dick said to Bruce, grabbing the door of Bruce's car with one hand, "I've been learning acrobatics from my dad for a long time, and I know how hard your moves are, those muscles. The power-generating technique can never be performed on the spot, you should practice it for a long time..."

Dick kept pursing his lips. He said to Bruce: "My parents gave up, but I won't give up. I want to stay here to restore the reputation of the Grayson family and avenge my grandfather."

"More importantly, if the cause of my grandfather's death cannot be found and the murderer who killed him cannot be found, then my parents will not be safe."

"But..." Dick said with a helpless expression: "I know what Gotham is, and the skills I learned from my father are simply not enough for me to live here, and I can't convince my parents to put I'm staying here, so..."

Dick took a deep breath and looked at Bruce with an age-unmatched melancholy, "If you would allow me to study with you, I think, one day I will be able to fulfill my wish and you saved my life. My parents, if I follow you, I don't think they will object..."

Before Bruce could answer, Dick said, "...well, I know that sounds absurd, how could I expect a rich old..."

Dick let go, he sighed, then waved his arm for Bruce to drive.

He also knew that he was just acting on a whim, not leaving his parents, staying in Gotham alone, still wanting to study with the richest man in the world? This is simply a fantasy.

Bruce looked at Dick, but had a very strange feeling. People always see themselves in another person at some point. In fact, Dick's appearance is completely different from him, and he is only a seven or eight-year-old boy. , can't talk about any character, but the tone of his speech makes Bruce feel that he is very special.

Maybe there are two people in this world who are naturally compatible with each other. In short, Dick is very pleasing to the eyes of Bruce~www.NovelMTL.com~ Bruce is also very pleasing to the eyes of Dick.

But it's pleasing to the eye, Bruce didn't plan to adopt an adopted son, and a daughter has almost driven him and Selena crazy.

wait, daughter...

Bruce looked back at Aisha, who was still restless after being completely secured in the child safety seat, and glanced at Dick, who seemed to be much more mature than his peers. Just as Dick turned to leave, Bruce called. live him.

Half an hour later, in Wayne Manor, Bruce dragged Elsa's armpit to show Dick like a dog, and said to him, "This is your sister."

"Wait, are you going to adopt me? I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Elsa opened her mouth, and the mouth full of fangs startled Dick, and he asked in shock, "What's going on??? What about the teeth..."

"I was born with deformed teeth, and I was too young to correct it." Bruce replied without thinking.

"Uh, well... wait, her eyes don't seem to be..." Dick said, pointing at Elsa's eyes.

"Heterochromia iris, follow his mother." Bruce replied in a natural tone.

"Yes...is it? But...why can't she speak?"

"Children's autism, has made an appointment with a psychiatrist." Bruce replied eloquently.

"But……"

At this time, Alfred came down from the upstairs, and he asked Bruce hopefully: "Master, is this the eldest young master? Have the legal issues been dealt with? I think we can..."
