On a country road where there are usually no pedestrians, a "low-key" Lamborghini is driving at high speed... Well, compared with the Batmobile, it is indeed low-key.

Fortunately, there are usually no people on this road, and naturally there are no police. Since it is private land, there is no camera, so no one cares about this sports car that is obviously speeding.

A large amount of corn stalks are piled up on both sides of the road, waiting for trucks to take them away.There are still some machines working in the fields far away, already preparing compost for the next year.

In the countryside in late autumn, the harvest season has passed, but it is still refreshing.

Bruce would have thought so if he hadn't been driving for over two hours.

When he first learned that the land was privately owned, he didn't react much.But Bruce was surprised when Alfred told him that the owner of the land could not be contacted.

In the United States, there are indeed many big landowners who own huge land and are themselves billionaires.However, most of these people are members of the "Old Money" family. Upstarts like Lex Luthor who have made their fortunes through high technology or the Internet in recent years will not invest in large amounts of land. They will only invest in commercial development within the city. land use, at most some factories will be involved.

And as a veteran "nobility" who has dominated Gotham since the founding of the United States, it is no exaggeration to say that the Wayne family is inextricably linked to almost all the rich and wealthy families in the entire United States.As long as it's not that kind of deadly enemy, many insignificant things only need a phone call.

After all, in the United States, a country without aristocrats, Wayne is the family known as "the closest to the nobility".At that time, almost all banquet hosts were proud to invite a Wayne to attend.

This is the first time Bruce has encountered a mysterious rich man who owns a large amount of land but has no connection with the Wayne family.Especially after further investigation, it is found that these lands seem to belong to the group that has been misunderstood by many people as the Wayne family business - Grace Wayne.

But how the corn is sold in Kansas, anyone with a little ability can find out with a little effort, and these lands cannot be the land where Grace Wayne's wonderful crops were produced.

Going deeper into the investigation, Bruce got a result that surprised him a little.

Everything seemed to have something to do with where he was going today, the Kent farm.

Bruce knew he had arrived when he saw a roadside sign simply stuck there, with the board saying "Kent Farm."

Getting out of the car, Bruce decides to walk over himself to show respect.Not only because of the low fence that can be opened easily, but also because the area of ​​Kent Farm itself is not too large, and you can see a little farther away at a glance. There is a three-storey hut with a red roof and white walls... umm Well, the house is actually quite big, but it looks like a cottage compared to the castle-like Wayne Manor.

Once on the farm, Bruce knew he had come to the right place.

The round and plump golden pumpkins in the field, the bright red juicy fresh cranberries, and all kinds of green and tall vegetables in the field, and the dazzling array of fruits in the fruit forest all told him that this is Grace Wayne, these things It's all Grace Wayne.

Don't question the discriminating ability of a top rich man, especially this kind of son who has been rich for countless generations.Maybe they are not professional, but it is difficult to be fooled by fake goods - because these things are just part of their usual food and clothing expenses.

The purple sprinklers in the ground are watering regularly, but no pipes can be seen on the surface.The cranberries were ripe, but no one came to harvest them. Among the bushes, stood a low thatched hut, about two meters high, covered with green grass.A few Junimos that looked a bit like slimes jumped out of the thatched hut and were harvesting crops.

It was just an ordinary farm anyway, Bruce relaxed a little.

At this time, a small hill suddenly appeared in the woods behind the house. Bruce looked carefully, only to find that it was piled up by hundreds of stones, lifted on top of someone's head, and disappeared after a while.

It should be the male owner of this farm, Bruce thought. Although it is difficult to see clearly because of the trees, he should be just an ordinary person. Could it be that he really thinks too much?

There is almost no discord in the whole farm... except for the tens of meters high garage behind the house.Do ordinary people really need such a high garage?I can see it from a long distance, even heavy trucks don't need to be tens of meters high, right?

But thinking of the huge land area outside, it doesn't seem very strange. Maybe this building also has functions like a warehouse?After all, there is a small piece of pasture in the lower left corner of the farm, and the silos in the pasture are also more than 20 meters high.

Bruce quickly walked to the door of the house. There were many flowers planted here, all kinds of rose fairies and sunflowers.There are a few beehives in a slightly outer area, and bees are flying around.

Bees are animals that are very sensitive to smells. Maybe the owner here is fine, but Bruce is a little worried. Will he cause some trouble as an outsider?Especially today when it's not Batman's occasion, what Bruce sprays on his body is not deodorant, but expensive perfume.

Fortunately, the bees here don't look too shy.

"Ah, you're Bruce, right? Come in, come in."

After Bruce rang the doorbell, a middle-aged woman opened the door and greeted him warmly.

"Hello, Mrs. Martha, I'm taking the liberty to come to visit." Bruce froze for a moment, and handed over a bouquet of flowers in his hand. He had never seen a photo of Martha before, and he was a little surprised.Because it is hard to imagine that the charming lady in front of her, who looks less than forty, has a son who is already in his 20s.

Of course, it made him even more sure that this was Martha's, and the pearl necklace Martha wore around her neck was almost exactly the same as the one he would never forget.

"What would you like to drink? Coffee or tea?" Martha took Bruce to the sofa and sat down. "My old man went to the woods to collect fresh maple syrup, and he will be back soon."

"Coffee will do. Thank you for your hospitality, Mrs. Kent."

"Just call me Martha," Martha quickly took out two cups of hot coffee from the refrigerator, "you must try our maple syrup later, the kids love it. Oh sorry, I forgot……"

"I'm looking forward to it." Bruce smiled and took a sip of his coffee.

Martha shook her head slightly, she was a little too excited after seeing Bruce.

Bruce looked like his father, cut in the same mold, only more handsome.It has to be said that the genetics of the Wayne family are really good.Martha had never seen Thomas Wayne, but she had seen his photo, so she recognized him.

But in some eyebrows, Bruce can fully see the shadow of Martha - the one surnamed Wayne.Martha Wayne had also been a rare beauty, and it was only natural that she would leave her mark on her son.

Martha is not young anymore, but in her heart, that friend who used to talk about everything has always stayed in the good old days. Seeing Bruce now, it is inevitable to feel a little emotional.

Martha babbled a bit, and Bruce responded with a smile, talking about his impression of his mother when he was a child from time to time, and he was indeed very interested in the experiences of the two Marthas as girls.

In addition, the coffee from Kent's house also surprised Bruce, and the refreshments are also very delicious, all of which are types he has never bought before. Refreshing effect, feeling that the whole body is much lighter.Sure enough, on a private farm like this, especially when the farmer is not short of money, the best things are always left to the family.

After all, the coffee made by Jonathan... has the attribute of [Speed ​​+3].

Bruce, who didn't know this, had already planned to buy some coffee beans from Martha when he left. This refreshing effect should be very useful during the night watch.

The coffee at Kent's is different from other places. It is not ground and extracted with a coffee machine, but brewed in wooden barrels. The brewing process is similar to wine brewing-meaning, Jonathan doesn't know how to do it.

He just put the coffee beans in the barrel, and after a while, a hot cup of coffee was ready, complete with coffee cup.Moreover, it takes a lot to make a cup of coffee, five coffee beans are needed, and a coffee bean bush can only produce three or four coffee beans in one cycle.

Compared with other crops on the farm, the coffee beans themselves are not very valuable, and a piece only sells for 15 dollars. The important thing is that the attribute of acceleration is very useful all day long. Jonathan and Clark's bodies are not afraid of drinking too much and sleeping No, so basically all of them were consumed internally and not sold.

"Actually, I'm not just here for a visit." After the two chatted for a while, Bruce opened his mouth and took out a beautiful box, "It's also to fulfill my mother's wish."

"We found this when sorting out my mother's belongings recently. My mother was planning to give it to you when she was alive, but unfortunately..." Bruce opened the box with a sad expression.

Inside is a pearl bracelet, 20 years later, it is still full and round with luster.

"Oh, Martha..." Martha gently picked up the bracelet and stroked it. This one matched her necklace very well. Martha must have spent a lot of effort to match it back then.

"Honey, I'm back," Martha and Bruce were chatting happily, and Jonathan finally came back, "The guests have come...Bruce Wayne?"

Of course he knew this face!Bruce Wayne, AKA Gotham Gunner, DC's father, the man with the largest family-style superhero team in history, a humanoid bug who can use physical skills to hide from superluminal Omega rays...

Martha didn't say her friend's son was Bruce Wayne!Jonathan suddenly felt a little guilty. He suddenly remembered that he seemed, maybe, maybe he had tricked this guy a little once?

Isn't it here to find fault?

"Hello, Mr. Kent." Bruce stretched out his hand first, "You can just call me Bruce. Mrs. Martha used to be one of my mother's best friends. This time I am bringing a gift prepared by my mother during her lifetime."

"Hey, that's it," Jonathan heaved a sigh of relief, "It's rare for you to make a trip. There is nothing interesting in the town. If you don't mind, you can stroll around the farm and stay for dinner..."

Currently available information:

1. Regarding the size of the land that Jonathan bought, it is indeed not small, at least larger than the urban area of ​​a city, but this is also normal in the United States. The United States is originally sparsely populated, and there is no land complex like ours , purely agricultural land is not very valuable

2. Taking the top ten landowners in the United States as an example, the least one owns more than 3000 square kilometers of land, which is equivalent to one and a half Shenzhen City, and more than half Shanghai City—counting the suburban ones, and the number one John Ma Long owns more than 8000 square kilometers of farms and pastures, which is equivalent to four Shenzhens and one and a half Shanghais.

3. Even so, John Malone's total net worth in 2019 is "only" 56 billion US dollars, and when his other assets are counted, in fact, other assets still account for the bulk.There is no comparison with Wayne, who is worth tens of billions at every turn.So there is no comparison between the value of agricultural land and urban land. Is it true that all the land in Shanghai is worth tens of billions?

4. In fact, the world's largest private landowner - some royal families are not counted - has 3.2 square kilometers of ranch in Australia, which is equivalent to the area of ​​a province.However, in 2018 they were packaged and sold... for $3.25 million.If it weren't for the government only allowing Australians to buy it, I guess a lot of domestic tyrants with a land complex would be able to pay him off... That's permanent ownership!

5. Therefore, agricultural land really does not make much money in the United States, and it is those financial giants who make money.Most of Jonathan and Martha's assets are also invested.
