Seeing that Jason looked like an adult, Warlock smiled and shook hands with him: "Wollock Dowling, nice to meet you."

When Warlock bent slightly to hold Jason's hand, he realized that the child had thick calluses on his hand.From his clothes and working in the orphanage, it can be seen that his family's conditions are not very good, and the calluses on his hands prove that Jason has been doing work that exceeds the workload of children of his age.

Seeing Warlock's eyes resting on his hand, Jason withdrew his hand a little embarrassedly, and lowered the sleeve on his arm to cover the scratches on his arm.

This was left when he was fighting with a few gangsters downstairs yesterday. He licked the wound to stop the bleeding and then ignored it. For him, wound medicine is a big expense. If he can fight it by himself, he will never use it at home. the wound medicine.

Warlock roughly judged Jason's age, and estimated that he should be around 12 years old. Children at this age are just when they realize the importance of face. Jason put down his sleeves because he didn't want Warlock to continue with the wound. .

"You should be in elementary school now. Today is a working day. Don't you go to school?" Warlock changed the subject, he was curious about Jason.

Kids in Gotham live a completely different life than kids outside of Gotham, seeing the darkness of Gotham at an early age and thinking it's normal.

This is something that Warlock must solve in the future. The children hope that they should not be prematurely affected by the darkness of Gotham, whether actively or passively.

Jason has a good impression of Warlock. Warlock is not the kind of official who used to have his eyes on the top of his head and a fat head just thinking about getting money out of his own pocket.

He didn't look down on Jason because he lived at the bottom of Gotham, but talked to him very seriously, which made Jason, who has always been rebellious and looked down on corrupt officials, a little at a loss.

"I was in the fifth grade at Widow Creek Elementary School, because I couldn't pay the tuition and the teacher told me to get out of school." Jason lowered his head and kicked the stone on the ground. He hated the teacher who ordered him to get out, and he hated his father even more. , the man who failed to carry the burden of the family but dragged the family into the quagmire.

Warlock frowned. Children's education is very important. The school should have a mature funding mechanism for students from families with difficulties. It is impossible to kick a child out of school so casually.

Jason kept his head down, but he could feel Warlock's gaze on him. After so many years wandering the streets of Gotham, Jason had learned to judge other people's emotions, and Warlock was dubious about his words.

He was actually a little guilty because he deliberately exaggerated some facts.The teacher told him to get out of school, not to prevent him from going to school. He took this opportunity to run out of school. First, he didn't want to hear the teacher urging him to pay the tuition, and second, he didn't want to face those classmates who laughed and encouraged him. .

In the past, he would fight with those classmates who laughed at him. Every time, the teacher would protect those students with rich families, and even made his mother drag her sick body to apologize. Now he rarely causes trouble in school. He doesn't want to make his mother tired too much many.

Deliberately obfuscating the truth is also Jason's careful thought. If Mayor Dorian really believed him, it would be the best ending to clean up the school. If Mayor Dorian doesn't believe him, it's not a big problem if he has a bad impression of him. The chances of them meeting again later are almost zero.

That being said, Jason slowly blushed under Warlock's gaze. This mayor of Dorian is out of tune with Gotham, and the laws of Gotham don't apply to him. Will doing this make him sad? , I still like him very much.

Warlock can feel concealment and slight remorse from Jason. The children living at the bottom of Gotham have a strong brand of Gotham, and their guard and deceit are branded into their souls. Tan lives on.

Jason's fondness for Warlock wasn't enough to offset his wariness of Warlock, and Warlock gently ruffled Jason's reddish-blond hair in an attempt to relax him.

"Learning is the safest way to live a good life. Unless you are really desperate, don't give up studying." Warlock hesitated when he said this. He was not sure whether Jason would listen to his advice, but he Hope such a clever kid died in an alley somewhere in Gotham.

Jason smiled, and he could already see the handsome outline of the future. The reason Warlock gave was "safety", which is what Gotham lacks the most.

"I will not give up studying, I like literature very much."

"Literature, yes." Warlock himself is not very interested in literature, but he has a teacher who is almost obsessed with literature, "Learning literature has a wide future development path, maybe one day you will become Gotham's clerk ?”

Warlock thought for a while, then took out a winged cross from his pocket and handed it to Jason: "This is for you, if you really want to go into politics in the future, you can come to me, I should help Be busy."

"I heard someone wants to go into politics? Is Gotham going to have a rising star again?" Bruce Wayne's gentle and clear voice sounded like dew in the morning, and he was striding towards this side.

He has plans to monitor Warlock Dowling's actions and has already put them into action, but what he can monitor is the itinerary determined three to one week in advance, and he cannot fully grasp Warlock's temporary arrangements.

Just now, Warlock's appearance in the shadow of the back door made him think about several possibilities, and the tone of the storybook he read to the children became chaotic.Half of his energy was devoted to Warlock. Instead of seeing the children, Warlock chatted with a boy who was obviously older than the children here.

After finishing a story and letting the children play by themselves, Bruce walked over to Warlock, who was supposed to say hello to Warlock, whether in public or private.

Warlock looked at Bruce's unrestrained steps as if walking on the red carpet, sighed helplessly in his heart, and greeted him with a formulaic smile on his face.

He really felt that he and Bruce Wayne were not in the same league. He planned to make some political achievements in Gotham, and Bruce Wayne was obviously more willing to spend his time on his private life. It was quite refreshing to spend the money. Other places The two can't talk at all.

"Sorry, Mr. Wayne, the hospitality was not good last time." Warlock said that on the day of the general election ceremony, he left halfway after greeting Wayne, and when he went to find Wayne again, he had disappeared.

"Things were a bit hectic that day, but I didn't expect you to take an unusual path. If Miss Secretary hadn't contacted your housekeeper, we would have called the police."

Bruce blinked his eyes, made a dazed look, and said with a smile, "I acted recklessly. At that time, a beautiful woman asked for help. I couldn't just ignore it. I should have told the secretary in advance."

There was no embarrassment in Bruce Wayne's tone, his image was that of a playboy, and it was not surprising that he would do any absurd things for women.

He didn't want to continue the topic of what happened that day, so he changed the topic directly: "Are you here to inspect the orphanage today? Why are you alone?"

"Miss Angelina went to talk to the sister dean, I want to go around alone."

"Do you need a guide? I am very familiar with this place." Bruce grabbed Warlock's shoulders quite familiarly and led him forward, "This is one of the orphanages funded by my mother during her lifetime. I often come here By the way, this is definitely not the kind of black-hearted orphanage that exploits children for profit."

The document submitted by Angelina did contain Martha Wayne's name, but the list of sponsors for this orphanage had seven or eight pages, and the name of the Wayne family was drowned in hundreds of names.Warlock just went through it briefly, and didn't realize that this was one of Wayne's regular funding projects.

"The philanthropy of the Wayne family is very large. I want to thank you on behalf of the citizens of Gotham." Warlock was not used to Bruce's strength. He was almost completely led forward by Bruce. Jason hesitated and did not follow. go up.

Bruce took Warlock to stop under the office building of the orphanage, pointed to the sign on the office building and said, "Look, Martha's Angel Foundation."

When the name Martha was mentioned, the expression in Bruce's eyes softened a lot, and his voice softened a bit, and it was like a flame in Warlock's ears, attracting him to continue listening.

"There are more than 130 children in the orphanage, more than half have physical disabilities, and some have lost their parents. The requirements for adopters here are very high. It must be determined that the adopters have sufficient ability to support the children and ensure their safety. You You know, what Gotham lacks most is safety."

"Wayne Group has a special fund for the orphanage every year to ensure that the children here can live a good life even if they are not adopted."

Bruce was very serious when he introduced it, and it was almost impossible to see his usual incongruity and self-willedness, which is rare to have the responsibility of an adult man.If Bruce Wayne can be so reliable in other aspects, Warlock is still willing to establish a friendship with him. After all, who would not like President Wayne who is rich, reliable and handsome?

"...So you don't need to doubt this orphanage at all, I can guarantee that this is definitely a paradise for children." Bruce said for a long time and only got a smile on his lips, Warlock looked at him a little depressed , doubting whether he had listened to his own words.

"I never suspected that there was any problem here. I just wanted to see how the children here are doing and if there is anything that needs help."

Warlock smiled helplessly. Gotham people always seem to like to use the worst ideas to presuppose other people's behavior. He really doesn't think as much as Bruce Wayne thinks.He admits that his purpose is not so pure, not as dark as Bruce thinks.

Bruce tugged on his tie uncomfortably, realizing that he was thinking too much, his eyes were filled with apology, and the sunlight reflected a deep blue in his eyes.

"Sorry, I'm overreacting. This is my mother's brainchild, I don't want to…"

Warlock shook his head and stopped Bruce's next words: "I can understand your mood, maybe you would like to accompany me to see those lovely children."

"Of course no problem, my pleasure."

Jason has been observing the relationship between Bruce Wayne and Warlock in the dark. He can't hear what the two are saying, but he can see Bruce's movements and expressions, and confusion gradually appears in his eyes.

The clock struck six, and Jason's day job was full.Before going to get his salary from the nun, he mustered up the courage to say goodbye to Warlock. The cross with wings that Warlock gave him was not cheap at first glance. He should thank him anyway, and there are some things he should Remind the new mayor.

With Bruce Wayne's eyes on him, Warlock was pulled aside, Jason hesitated and asked, "Mayor Dowling, is Bruce Wayne chasing you?"
