After buying the earth [Comprehensive British and American]

Bruce Wayne may fall in love regardless of the circumstances, but Batman only cares about work.

Another fact is that, as Alfred, the old butler of the Wayne family, complained, Batman always enslaves Bruce Wayne to work for him regardless of time and place.

——If they were really two people.

Bruce was indeed influenced by Hilda's behavior several times, but in his heart, another voice was always coldly reminding him of his original purpose.

He didn't really come here to talk about a pure love.

Finding out the purpose of Penguin and controlling the variable of Hilda is his real purpose.

So he said "Iceberg Restaurant" without hesitation, planning to enter the Penguin's lair through Hilda unsuspectingly, and maybe find some clues.

With a career brain like Batman, he is completely unaware of what kind of misunderstandings the Penguin will have if he appears in front of the Penguin with Hilda as Bruce Wayne.

From the first moment Bruce walked into the Iceberg Restaurant, he was keenly aware of the fact that almost all the staff in the restaurant, from the waiters to the thugs hiding in the corner, immediately decided on him and Hilda, and In a short while, he saluted Hilda with the same eyes of surprise and inexplicable admiration.

Everyone: How awesome, this woman actually used several carts of flowers to get the richest man in Gotham!

Bruce: "..." He can probably guess what's going on.What should I say?Is Hilda popular?

Hilda accepted this kind of look well, she waved at the waiter carelessly, and even gave him a proud and sure look without hesitation: That's right, it's me!I did it!Just be envious!

The other party maintained a business smile, and politely led Hilda and Bruce to the VIP seat in the middle of the second floor of the Bingshan restaurant. This place is quiet and spacious, and you can easily overlook the panoramic view of the first floor from the seat, and walk straight inward. It is the fast lane, go down the stairs and walk along the lane to reach the back door of Bingshan Restaurant.No matter from the aesthetic point of view or strategic point of view, or from the point of view of escape - this is the best position, no wonder it is set as the supreme VIP seat of Bingshan Restaurant.

Bruce is very satisfied with this position in his heart: he has already figured out that if some uncontrollable situations happen, he can have several ways to control the overall situation.

...Unfortunately, God did not intend to give him this opportunity.

Before he could lead Cobbot out of the original plan without leaving a trace, the Penguin greeted them from his office "can't wait"——

"Hilda, my good friend!" He purposely made a greasy look, and opened his hand with multiple gemstone rings enthusiastically towards Hilda, devoting himself to disgusting Hilda in details, "Look You, why didn't you say hello to me in advance when you came to Bingshan Restaurant? Or let me arrange it for you. "

He failed.

Hilda didn't notice his malice at all, or noticed it and ignored it deliberately.As soon as she grabbed Coppert's hand, she shook it vigorously. She first avoided Coppert's hug by shaking hands forcibly, and then said to him with a moved face: "My good friend! There is no arrangement now. Late!"

Copperpot: "..." Shit, lost.

His smile was half broken. Fortunately, he had spent a lot of money on Hilda before, and now it was just a meal... The most important thing is that Hilda managed to get Bruce Wayne, think about it Bar!His money and reputation will be redeemed by her success.

Alright, Cobbot managed to convince himself and reorganized his nearly collapsed smile.

He pulled out his hand vigorously, turned his head to order his subordinates, then turned his head and pretended to look at Bruce: "...Mr. Wayne? I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect to meet you in my restaurant."

"Hello, Mr. Cobblepot." Bruce said politely and distantly, and barely thought for a while, "It's been a long time, if I remember correctly...the last time we met seemed to be at Kane's banquet, I had to Admittedly, the fine wine at the Kane family is impressive." He fully expressed Bruce Wayne's lack of business, as if it was only because of the fine wine that he barely remembered the guests at the banquet.

The two men chatted hypocritically and politely for a while, no one would have guessed that the two were still hostile at the Gotham pier last night.

Coppert's eyes circled around Hilda: "I don't know if you two are...?"

"Boyfriend and girlfriend." Hilda said, "We're together." She quietly gave a showy look, and Coppert straightened the brim of his hat calmly, dismissing her childish behavior.

"It's surprising." He pretended to be surprised, "It turns out that Mr. Wayne is the one you've always liked—" He looked at Bruce, observing his expression meaningfully, "Mr. Wayne, Hilda treats you But I have been in love for a long time. To be honest, it is very difficult to meet someone as dedicated as her in this world. "

He was not guilty of lying at all: "I have to say, you are really lucky."

Bruce looked at Hilda affectionately: "Yeah, I also feel very lucky."

Penguin: ...As expected of a famous playboy in Gotham... How did a school chicken like Hilda Walker, who can only pull an old-fashioned float downstairs to confess his love, managed to hook up with this guy?Can she really play Bruce Wayne in the future?

For a moment, I worried about Hilda for a second, and Cobblepot immediately gloated over the possible future: Isn't it better to play?The thought of Hilda crying bitterly gave him heartfelt joy—if such a day came, he must celebrate it!

But before that, he will still do his best to help Hilda stabilize Wayne, after all, this matter is closely related to him.

The Penguin cleared his throat and interrupted the couple's gaze: "Mr. Wayne, some words should not be said by me, but out of the sense of responsibility of a friend and the moral sense of a citizen, I must I have to tell you: my friend Hilda is serious about this relationship, it's not just a frivolous 'play', and as a gentleman you should be as serious. Otherwise..."

He turned the handle of the black umbrella in his hand, as if turning the king's scepter: "...we will all regret it, and I think no one wants to see that ending."

This is a warning.Although the Penguin will gloat over Hilda's misfortune, this does not prevent him from taking the usual threats when facing Bruce Wayne, a "useless ordinary person"-as for whether he will actually do it, that is That's another story.

Although Bruce Wayne is the richest man in Gotham, Copperpot has no respect for the young master, only a trace of condescending contempt: After all, Bruce Wayne is just an ordinary person.He has nothing but money.

Hilda was keenly aware of the malicious intentions hidden in Coppert's tone, and she glanced at him half-warningly, making him couldn't help cursing "I don't know what's good or bad" in his heart.

"Of course." Bruce didn't care about the warning. He stretched out his hand and lifted Hilda's drooping hair behind her ear: "Who can bear to make Hilda sad?"

Hilda couldn't help but smile from his curved lips, and happily pulled Bruce to sit him down.She stood behind Bruce, kissed Bruce on the cheek contentedly, ignored his surprised look back, and turned to look at Cobblepot who was still standing there: "My dear friend, you must be very busy, there is no need Just stay with us here, you just go to your work, and we will definitely enjoy our lunch."

Copperpot: "..." What a ruthless woman!Why did he think this guy would be at a disadvantage against Bruce Wayne?Looking at this skilled skill of crossing rivers and demolishing bridges, Wayne should be the one who should be worried!

He smiled on the surface: "Of course, but before that, I still have something to tell you about work, can you come over with me?"

Hilda finally remembered Copperpot's other identity - the paying boss.Her face changed instantly, she was very reluctant: "...Okay."

"What job?" Hilda crossed her arms and swept around the penguin, "...Isn't it? I still need my personal protection in my own territory? You should also give the employees some rest time."

Coppert's eyebrows twitched: "Not now. I want to ask if you are interested in taking a private job."

Hilda suspected that she had heard it wrong: "...huh?"

Copperpot: "What?"

Hilda: "...It's nothing, it's just a surprise. It turns out that your boss also finds private jobs for employees part-time? Did the other party give you any irresistible conditions?"

He said "hehe": "...whatever you think, I'm just conveying. As for whether you want to do it or not, it's up to you. However, the reward the other party gave you is indeed very impressive, I think you can think about it."

Hilda: "Well... tell me?

He understated: "Lex Luthor hopes to invite you to the Metropolis to be his bodyguard for a few days."

"Lex Luthor?" Hilda asked back. "The one from last time?"

Copper nodded.

Hilda sneered: "...Are you planning to sell me?"

"No such thing," he replied, "it doesn't matter to me whether you agree or not."

"Even if the other party takes your agreement as a hostage?"

Cobblepot raised his head and pulled the corners of his mouth: "...No, he won't. He is as clear-headed as I am, but more urgent than me....Although you temporarily rejected him, Luther will never give up just like that. Get ready, Walker."

Hilda didn't take it seriously: "You came to me just to talk about this?"

"Of course not." He denied, "Another thing - about you and Wayne. Although I don't really understand what's going on with you two, I mean, didn't he reject you? Why was it a day later? He suddenly agreed again? Don't you think there is something strange in it?"

Hilda froze for a moment, was suddenly awakened, and fell into deep thought.

The Penguin is persuasive: "Maybe he doesn't mean it at all, maybe it's actually..."

"No!" Hilda shook her head with a deep expression, "I think I know why he changed his mind..."

——I didn't expect my kissing skills to be so superb that Bruce was completely convinced just like that.

But of course, this kind of thing still can't be said directly to Coppert.So, in the face of Cobblepot's questioning eyes, Hilda maintained an inscrutable attitude, and said cryptically, "...just some small tricks."

The Penguin gasped: "...Did you brainwash him?" That's really cruel.

Hilda: "???"

She didn't know where to explain it for a moment: "...No, wait a minute, what—"

"You don't need to talk." Penguin didn't want to hear it anymore. "Whatever, anyway, now that you are together, even if I have successfully helped you realize your dream, then from now on, when it comes to money..."

"I still need to rely on you, my good friend." Hilda immediately gave up explaining, and answered directly, "After all, our relationship has just begun, and no one can guarantee that this love will develop stably. Of course, you need to be escorted."

Penguin laughed angrily: "At the beginning I didn't promise to help you maintain your relationship—"

"The original agreement was to help me get Bruce Wayne." Hilda was not afraid of him, she emphasized the word "do" and said confidently, "Now I have only succeeded in the first step, and I am still far from the goal. Very much!"

Copperpot was shocked by Hilda's shamelessness.

A dozen meters away from this conversation, in order to monitor some useful information, I put a monitor on Hilda, and connected to Alfred's Bruce Wayne who was far away in the Batcave: "... …………”

Alfred, who also heard Hilda's "ambition", twitched his eyebrows, and smiled after a while.

"Think of the good, sir," he took a sip of coffee slowly, and comforted Bruce, "at least we know Miss Walker's next move, don't we?"
