Warlock frowned slightly and stretched out his hand to press Jason's shoulder. He could feel the thin body trembling slightly under his palm.
"I know what you're going to say, don't worry, speak slowly. If that man really did something bad, I will help you get rid of him."
Warlock's perception ability is incomparable to humans. He can feel that there are countless pairs of eyes staring at him, and there are countless pairs of ears listening quietly. on someone else's table.
Jason's sudden appearance has attracted the attention of people hiding in the dark. In the eyes of those crazy people, Jason can only be regarded as a small person who can be easily crushed to death. Warlock does not want Jason to be killed for reporting to him To be drawn into the dark abyss.
He didn't deliberately lower his voice. The guards around him looked at Jason with understanding and regretful eyes. In a slum area where there are a lot of fish and dragons, it's not surprising that any kind of villain is there. This boy may be a poor guy who is entangled in malice and evil thoughts. .
Jason lived in the slums, so he was naturally not an idiot who didn't know anything. Warlock immediately realized when he spoke, and his face turned pale. He didn't understand why Warlock said that.
"I...I'm not..."
Warlock took him by the shoulders and got into the car, and Bruce followed him into the back seat from the other side. He also wanted to hear what the boy found.
"Jason, I'm sorry, but I have to say this." Warlock's expression softened after he closed the car door, "It's not safe here, you never know how many eyes are staring in the dark, especially me and Bruce's identity is sensitive."
"You know what happened in the slums recently, and you know how tough their methods are, but you are still too impulsive."
Warlock sighed, Jason has a maturity beyond his age, but he has not yet reached the point where everything has been considered and perfected. All he can do is try his best to conceal Jason's existence.
According to Angelina's investigation, Jason's father died very early, and he lived with his drug-addicted and sickly mother in a slum.Because his mother is addicted to drugs, almost every week someone who sells drugs will come to ask for a bill. He has been dragged down by his mother, and he can't even pay the tuition.
Warlock asked Angelina to help Jason make up for the tuition owed, only to find out that Bruce had proposed to put Jason on the funding list, but Jason himself refused, because he knew that the money would eventually be filled by his mother into the deep pit of drugs .
Jason opened his mouth, and finally closed his mouth, knowing that Warlock was telling the truth.Now he can fight with the little gangsters on the street, but when he really faces the upper echelons of the upper echelon, he only has to be beaten. Gotham Bridge.
In a place like Gotham, only those who can enjoy life are qualified to care about fame. People who are struggling to survive don't care about face and reputation. Face and reputation can't be exchanged for bread.
"I see." Jason still looked a little depressed, and a lock of hair that was originally curled up was hanging down.
Bruce looked at Jason, then at Warlock, and suddenly realized why this scene seemed familiar, and Thomas had taught him this way.
"Hey, Jason is a smart kid, he can definitely figure it out. The more important thing now is what news Jason wants to tell us."
"Last night, I was doing odd jobs in Old George's shop. When I was closing and packing up, someone rushed into the shop and threatened Old George to sign a contract. I saw that they still had guns in their hands and hid."
"I heard people outside say that if old George doesn't sign, they will make old George's family look good, and old George signed."
"Wait, why would there be a fire if Old George signed it? Nelson should have gotten what they wanted, so there's no need to kill them all." Warlock felt that this didn't make sense.
"If the person who deliberately set the fire wasn't from Nelson, it would make sense." Bruce put forward a new idea calmly, "Some people are using this incident to stir up public anger, and some people don't want changes in the slums. the bad ones."
Not only homeless people live in the slums of the East Side, but also some big companies secretly not very legal industries, as well as the Falkenell family and the Maroney family who have retreated from the East Side. These people may fish in troubled waters.
Warlock rubbed the top of his cane, his eyes darkened. It seems that he needs to take some time to see Oswald. It is more convenient for him to handle the affairs of the dark world. Harvey may be sensitive to the gray industry of these big companies. interest.
Jason's ability to perceive words and emotions is full, and it can be seen that Warlock and Bruce are not in a good mood. The low pressure on Warlock's body made him shiver uncontrollably.
Warlock caught Jason's vague fear, slightly curled his lips and ruffled Jason's hair: "Your news is very useful, we will be able to catch that guy who fished in troubled waters soon. But... the past few days You should stay away from the slums first, otherwise this side will not be peaceful."
The joy on Jason's face after being praised has not disappeared, and he collapsed when he heard Warlock's request: "Sorry, Your Excellency Mayor, my mother has been seriously ill recently, and I have to stay with her."
He said that he was seriously ill, but in fact his mother was addicted to drugs, and the family had no money, so those drug addicts were unwilling to lend her money.Jason was worried that his mother would hurt herself in his absence.
Warlock pondered for a while, and said: "You are sure, I can't guarantee your safety if you stay in the slums."
Both Warlock and Bruce had investigated Jason's situation long ago, and they knew exactly what Jason's mother's "disease" was, but neither of them revealed the truth.Warlock had a good impression of Jason and was willing to protect him, but that didn't mean he was willing to protect a woman who was willing to degenerate.
Jason nodded seriously: "Your Excellency, thank you for your kindness, but my mother needs me."
Bruce sat next to Warlock for a while, but Warlock didn't look away from Jason's back.
"Thinking about something." Bruce reached out and waved his hand in front of Warlock's eyes to get his attention back.
Warlock suppressed the worries in his heart and shook his head slightly: "It's nothing, it's time for you to prepare the documents."
"My God, why did you remind me of this." Bruce leaned against the back of the car almost with a slam, with a look of resentment.
……
The involvement of the Wayne Group has made the ownership of the slums of the East Side confusing, and the slums have rarely become a hot topic in Gotham recently.
"Wayne has been in the limelight recently." Oswald's voice could not be heard from the computer side, and occasionally the microphone was far away and said something to prove that there were other people around him.
"The recent news about him is not about him dating another beautiful woman, but about him appealing to people to support him in charity."
Warlock just smiled, and said while reading the document: "If he can really do something, it's a good thing, but what happened to the things you checked over there."
"The people who set the fire were indeed not from the Nelson Group, but a few thorns from the Falkenell family." Oswald's voice was more serious, and he seemed to have walked to a place with a good signal, and the noisy birdsong also disappeared.
"Falconel is really about to decline. Look at the new generation of people. None of them have the vision and resourcefulness of the old Falconel. They still hold on to the glory of the past and cannot see the reality clearly."
Oswald once worked between the two bosses, Falconel and Maroni, and witnessed the glory of the two families with his own eyes. He could not help feeling sad about their decline.
"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, you should be more careful." Warlock reminded that Oswald was always sentimental in strange places sometimes.
"You and Ed said almost exactly the same thing. With you two friends who are astute, I'm sure I won't be careless."
"Ed?" Warlock raised his eyebrows slightly. Oswald couldn't hide his smile when he mentioned the name. He didn't know when Oswald had such a friend by his side.
"I'm so sad, Oswald. I thought I was your best friend, and you didn't tell me you had a new friend." Warlock pretended to complain about Oswald in a sad tone, his eyes But there was no smile. He needed to confirm whether the sudden appearance of "Ed" would affect his induction of Penguin.
Oswald seemed to be overwhelmed by Warlock's weakness, and there was a sound of something falling and breaking on the phone, followed by the sound of eager footsteps after the chair was pulled away.
Oswald arrived in a new room before explaining: "Warlock, you have been very busy, and I can hardly find time to ask you out to get in touch. I originally planned to introduce Ed to you after this matter is over. "
"Actually, you have met Ed, Edward Nigma, the former forensic assistant of the Gotham Police Department, and now he has left."
"Besides, you and Ed are different. You are my best friend, but Ed is not." Oswald's voice suddenly became much quieter, as if he was afraid that someone would hear him.
Warlock felt that Oswald's tone was strange, and he didn't understand for a while, so he just listened quietly, waiting for Oswald to explain.
"I have a great feeling for him...you know, it's the kind of feeling that you will only meet one person in your life. My mother once said that it is very difficult for a person to meet the one who is destined. , you must catch it."
"I think he's the one for me."
Oswald's words shocked Warlock greatly. He never imagined that when he was obsessed with chasing Batman at night, Penguin had already found someone he wanted to spend his life with. Lost to Oswald in one respect.
"Cough, congratulations." Warlock congratulated dryly, and he didn't know what to say more.
Oswald was intoxicated by the longing for love, and finally found someone who could talk about love, and he was unwilling to hang up the phone no matter what.
"...Ed is humorous and witty, I think we are a perfect match. Warlock, falling in love is a very happy thing. If you are upset by the things in Gotham, why not fall in love... "
Warlock didn't know why he followed Oswald's train of thought. He thought carefully about a few people he was familiar with in Gotham, secretary Angelina, Batman, Oswald and Bruce Wayne. .
Angelina and Oswald are owners, Batman is an icon, Bruce Wayne is a playboy.
If you really want to fall in love, the only ones you can pursue are Batman and Bruce Wayne.Batman dedicated his whole being to Gotham, and he didn't need to think about it to know that he would definitely not waste time on falling in love. It would be better to regard Batman as an idol, and then only Bruce Wayne would be.
"Warlock, Warlock, are you listening to me?" Oswald's voice came, pulling Warlock out of his strange thoughts.
Warlock patted his forehead lightly, and he was really stunned. He didn't come to Gotham to fall in love, so he didn't need to think about candidates so seriously.
"I'm listening. For things like falling in love, it's better to let nature take its course..."
"I'm not talking about that. There's just been an explosion in the East End ghetto. You'd better go and see."
Before Oswald could finish his sentence, the phone on Warlock's desk rang.
"Your Excellency Mayor, something happened in the East District. The police station, hospital and fire brigade have already set off, and you need to be on the spot."
