After hanging up Tony's phone, Warlock hesitated for a while before dialing Mr. Dowling's phone. As he imagined, it was Mr. Dowling's secretary who answered the phone.

The relationship between the Dowling family is actually not close. The nature of Mr. Dowling's work determines that he is destined not to spend all his time on his family. Mrs. Dowling devotes more time and energy to Mr. Dowling.But their love for Warlock is real. They try their best to satisfy all of Warlock's wishes to make up for the lack of parental companionship he lacked in growing up. Unfortunately, money cannot make up for time.

After Warlock awakened, he no longer made all kinds of incidents to attract their attention like before the age of 11, and deliberately distanced himself from them.The Dowlings didn't notice Warlock's psychological change, they just thought the child had grown up.

After Warlock became an adult, Mr. Dowling had a detailed talk with Warlock as an adult.From the moment he stepped out of the study, Warlock has the right to choose his future life. Warlock will never forget the last words of Mr. Dowling.

"No matter what path you choose in the future, the Dorian family will always be your backing. Harriet and I are not qualified parents, but we will always love you."

"This is Dud Dowling." Mr. Dowling's voice came from the microphone, as serious as ever, "Warlock? Can you hear me?"

"Father." Warlock withdrew his thoughts from the memory, and responded a little cautiously and a little excitedly, "Tomorrow is my inauguration ceremony, can you and my mother spare time to attend?"

The other end of the phone was quiet for a while, and Mr. Dowling's laughter came: "I just said that that stinky boy Tony can't keep a secret. We wanted to give you a surprise. Harriet and I will go to your inauguration ceremony ,We have missed too many important moments in your life, this time we will definitely be there when we have time."

Warlock hooked his lips helplessly and said, "Tony is doing it for your own good too. Gotham is too dangerous. When will you come over? I'll send someone to pick you up."

Warlock didn't believe Tony's statement that the Dowlings took only four bodyguards on the train. Since he was conscious, there were more than a dozen people in the secretarial group around Mr. Dowling, not to mention agents disguised as bodyguards.

Those secretaries spent more time with Mr. Dowling than Warlock and his father. Even if the Dowlings wanted to go to them in a low-key manner, Warlock was more inclined to have special arrangements with his father and mother.

"We originally planned to take the train to Gotham at six o'clock this afternoon. Before departure, the security department found that someone had leaked my itinerary. We haven't found out the identity and purpose of the mastermind. Harriet and I got on the train we were supposed to be on. We'll take the helicopter over after the train arrives in Gotham."

"If..." Warlock had a bad premonition, "Actually, there will be a live broadcast on the day of the inauguration ceremony. Father, you and mother don't have to take the risk to come to Gotham. Nothing is more important than the safety of you and mother."

Mr. Dowling took off his glasses on the other end of the phone and wiped them, feeling that the glasses were inexplicably covered with fog: "In my position, I face danger all the time, and I believe that the security forces around me are enough to protect us. "

"We decided to go to Gotham a long time ago. Harriet has been looking forward to seeing you. You concentrate on your work and we will contact you before we arrive in Gotham."

Mr. Dowling thought of the high-spirited Warlock in a few newspapers specially airlifted from Gotham, with pride and a little loss in his heart.Warlock had grown up in places he hadn't seen, and he and Harriet had missed so much, and this time they definitely wouldn't miss it.

……

The inauguration ceremony of the acting mayor did not arouse the attention of Gotham people. Most of them have a pessimistic attitude towards Gotham politics. Those who are interested in the Lin family or Warlock Dowling himself will pay attention to the inauguration ceremony.

The audience application form published on Gotham's official website had less than [-] applicants. The secretary had to think of several plans and report to Warlock. If there were not many people in the audience on the day of the ceremony, it would make the scene very ugly.

"I don't think it's a good idea to let the children of Gotham Middle School serve as the audience." Warlock squeezed his eyebrows, "Children should not be involved in political activities prematurely, and the clown matter has never been If there is a problem on the scene, I have no way to explain to the parents of these children."

The secretary turned a page of the plan in his hand and made a second suggestion: "Then we can call out the audience who watched the live broadcast in the press hall of the municipal building..."

"Do you think Gotham can bear the risk of so many high-level people being injured?" Warlock took a sip of coffee to suppress his inner irritability. He used to think that the secretary's mind was still very flexible. Why couldn't he even get a better proposal this time? come out.

"You're embarrassing Miss Lane." Oswald broke the silence in the office. After saying this, he reached out and knocked on the half-open door. "I don't know if Mayor Dowling has time to receive me."

Warlock glanced at Angelina, got up and welcomed Oswald in: "Oswald, you are joking with me again, you are my best friend, I will see you whenever I can."

Angelina served Oswald a glass of water under Warlock's gaze, and then closed the office door completely.

Warlock nodded slightly to indicate that his office was safe, before Oswald spoke: "According to my investigation, the last time the clown appeared publicly was when he led the clown gang to splash paint on the walls of the police station. If there is no major action, it will be difficult to find his whereabouts if he acts alone."

"I have ordered the people under my command not to sell weapons and raw materials to the clown. The black mask is similar to that of Faye, but I don't know how much bomb material the clown has bought." Oswald leaned on his umbrella stick, his expression The room is dignified.

Just as gloomy as Warlock was the weather in Gotham. In just ten minutes, the sky gathered dense clouds, and from time to time, lightning split the dark clouds to illuminate a small piece of sky.

When Gordon entered the office, his body was full of moisture, but the expression on his face was a little loose. He looked at the silent Warlock and Oswald and said: "The blasting experts searched the vicinity, and found no dangerous goods. "

Warlock nodded noncommittally, and dialed the phone to let the secretary come in: "It's a coincidence that it's raining. Let's change the ceremony location to the release hall. We can't hold the general election ceremony in the rainstorm."

Angelina nodded, but she didn't go out to adjust the schedule immediately, but hesitated a little, as if she wanted to say something.

"Just tell me what happened." Warlock looked at Miss Secretary with a puzzled expression. The light cast shadows on his hair and covered his gray-blue eyes.

Angelina looked up and was dazzled by the light refracted by Warlock's blond hair, and seemed to see the coldness in Warlock's eyes in a trance.Blinking hard to stabilize his mind, when he looked at Warlock again, he saw Warlock looking at her with some doubts.

She looked at Oswald and Gordon, leaned over to Warlock and said in a low voice, "Heavy rain will affect the performance of the helicopter. Mr. Dowling and Mrs. Dowling took off 10 minutes ago, do you need to contact them to return?" .”

"Inform the pilots of the situation in Gotham, and they will decide whether to return."

Warlock got up and went to the window and looked out the window. It was clearly only three o'clock in the afternoon, and the outside was so gloomy that it seemed to be night. The bean-sized raindrops hit the window intensively, and the expression on his face gradually became serious.

"Heavy rain will affect not only planes, but also trains." Warlock suddenly looked back at Gordon, "If the rain is too heavy, the train will probably stop for safety."

"You mean the train your parents took?" Gordon seemed to think of something, his eyes widened, he jumped up from the chair, grabbed the umbrella and rushed out, "I'll go and find out the location of the train, God, Don't be what I think."

Oswald quietly watched Gordon slam the door shut, "Does he think the clown will attack the train?"

"It's possible. After all, the clown said bluntly that he would give me a gift, and someone has snooped on my parents' itinerary."

"You don't seem very urgent. If the clown really wants to attack the train, this heavy rain will be an excellent opportunity." Oswald stood up, watching Warlock get up and put on his windbreaker in confusion.

Warlock picked up his cane and walked in front of Oswald: "I will ensure the safety of my parents. If the clown really dares to attack them, he will know that there are things in this world that are more terrifying than death."

Oswald listened to what Warlock said in a low voice, and felt that this way of speaking was a bit familiar. He focused on Warlock's words without thinking for too long, with an excited look on his face. This was what Warlock had in mind. The way Locke really should be.

Out of the office, a handsome man in a police uniform hurried over, stopped Warlock and Oswald directly, panting and said: "Mayor Dowling, Captain Gordon asked me to come and tell you that the train is due to The torrential rain stopped on the spot, and it may be possible to continue to drive after the rain is lighter."

Warlock nodded to show that he understood. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Oswald smiling at the policeman in front of him: "Do you know each other?"

"Yes, we are very good friends." Oswald introduced a little excitedly, "Edward Nygma, an excellent forensic doctor."

"The person recognized by you must be excellent." Warlock echoed. This forensic doctor has a strong dark aura, but he is not in the mood to find out what is special about this person. He has to see the layout of the release hall How is it.

Oswald was a little disappointed when he saw that Volok was not interested in Nygma, so he gestured to Nygma to contact him and then followed Volok. His time today is all Volok's.

Bruce was leaning against the window of the lounge and tugging on his tie anxiously. He hadn't planned to attend the inauguration ceremony of the acting mayor. He could fully imagine how boring the fixed procedures and official language would be.

But the clown's notice letter directly stated that he would cause trouble at the mayor's inauguration ceremony, and he had to come over to see the situation and send the clown back to the Arkham Mental Hospital.

There are three large lounges and two small lounges in the city hall. Warlock chatted with the people inside one by one, and finally came to Bruce.

"Welcome to my inauguration, Bruce, I thought you wouldn't be here."

Bruce and Warlock shook hands and said: "We are already friends. Of course I will come to support your good day. But to be honest, I don't understand why you chose this time. The light is not very good at the moment, so I can't Show off your beauty."

Warlock's polite smile deliberately carried a bit of bitterness: "The planned ceremony was originally at nine o'clock in the morning, but the clown said he would give me a big gift. Not everyone dares to accept his gift. I heard that the clown's sworn enemy It's Batman, Batman is always active at night, maybe he can help at this time."

Bruce glanced at his cufflinks and smiled awkwardly: "Batman, yes, he can always thwart the clown's plot."
