[Gotham] Jerome's Little Bad

Chapter 9 Catch a Little Black Sweetheart

That night, Gotham's high society held a charity donation party for the Children's Hospital. Many celebrities were present, and the reporters were reporting live.

Bruce's parents, who were also former sponsors of the children's hospital, attended the evening with Alfred, despite his displeasure.

Dr. Leigh Thompkinson, who was the host of the charity gala, happened to see Bruce and went up to say hello. Alfred was a little tempted to see this charming woman.

Bruce, who happened to see Serena, went to her with an excuse to get water, but after having an unpleasant conversation with Serena, Bruce wanted to leave even more.

But at this time, the conversation between Alfred and Xiao Lai just got better.And because Alfred didn't want to miss Xiao Lai's hosting, he didn't want to leave so early at all.

And tonight, Theo's plan gradually unfolded. He told Barbara that what Gotham needs is a hero, and tonight... I will give them a hero.

Barbara seemed to understand something, thinking of Fritz's threat that day, she sneered in her heart, let that bitch go to hell!

"Thank you for being willing to act as a substitute at such a short-term," the person in charge of the charity party was puzzled again, "but how do you know that our magician has withdrawn? Your name is..."

"Rudolph." A bearded man with a black eyepatch approached and joked, "This is magic."

"I won't use that," Mr. Rudolph said to Tabitha in full dress, pointing to the big box of common magic props.

Tabitha closed the big box with a nonchalant face, but inside was a gagged man, who happened to be the magician who had quit tonight.

The so-called Rudolph was not a magician, but Jerome who wanted to mess up the dinner.

At this seemingly peaceful party, Theo was chatting and laughing with Deputy Mayor Kane when Tabitha, who had just prepared everything, appeared.

Deputy Mayor Kane intended to play a joke on Tabitha, but the lady choked him to death within two words.

Tabitha said hello to Theo and left. She didn't like the atmosphere of the banquet either. Anyway, the rest of the matter was Theo's.

The party begins...

The host Xiao Lai appeared on the stage, like a general charity gala, first introduced himself, thanked for funding and attendance.

After this boring link is the much-anticipated magic show.

The lights hit a sexy woman in a half-mask below the stage, and she makes an entrance.

Then she opened the cabinet behind her, and there was no one in it. She looked inside and made a surprised and puzzled expression and movement just right.

After closing the door and opening it, a yawning man in a tuxedo appeared inside.And this move also made many audience laugh, they applauded one after another.

The magician stepped onto the stage and lowered his voice as if his voice was hoarse, "Greeting, ladies and germs! (Ladies and gentlemen, good evening!) I am Rudolph, the master magician."

These two were Barbara and Jerome. Theo seemed to know that Fritz was on guard against him, so he didn't let her go on stage with Jerome.

So our elegant lady is sitting under the stage at the moment, watching the two people on the stage bend down to greet the audience.

He is so charming, Fritz, whose eyes cannot be separated from Jerome, thinks to himself, and sure enough, the dress is the weapon that can best highlight the charm of a man.

"This is my lovely assistant," the magician introduced Barbara who was waving to the audience beside him, and made a sound of admiration.

The assistant also made a shy gesture according to the occasion, and then blew kisses to the audience.

Mr. Magician took out a red silk scarf from his breast pocket and straightened it. When one hand was put down, a rose appeared in the scarf.

Rudolph gave the rose to the charming assistant lady, took the silk scarf, turned his hand and turned a dove from the silk scarf, and let it fly.

The audience who watched with gusto didn't notice that someone closed and locked the door, and they didn't notice that the danger was coming.

"My first performance needs a volunteer." The previous performances were just for fun, and the next one was the real start, "Let me see."

The magician turned his head sideways, closed his eyes and nodded at the audience, "Duck, duck, duck, duck, duck...

"Goose! (It's you!)" Finally, he pointed his finger to the back of the crowd.

Rudolph stared at the place closely, and the people also looked back. Bruce, who was pointed at, was a little at a loss.

"Go, Master Bruce, show some face." Alfred encouraged Bruce.

The assistant lady in pink has already come over and extended her hand to invite Bruce, but Bruce is still hesitant.

"Don't keep the lady waiting," said Alfred.

"Okay!" Bruce put his hand in the assistant's hand, and walked onto the stage amid the applause of everyone.

Rudolph opened the box made of two boxes on the table, "Hello, young man." He motioned for Bruce to lie in it.

Bruce took off his shoes and lay in the prop box, only his head and lower legs were exposed, but parts of his body could be seen through the cutouts on the side of the box.

The magician and his assistant each held a board to clamp Bruce's head and legs, and then Rudolph took out a large blade.

"Excuse me, what is the name of this handsome gentleman?"

"Bruce." The young master, who was a little nervous inside, looked calm.

"Bruce! Well, Bruce, this won't hurt at all." Rudolph bumped the two blades together and made a "clank" sound. It seemed that the blade was very sharp!

"Is there a doctor here?" Rudolph looked very serious, making people feel that this was not magic at all, but a massacre.

Alfred felt that something was wrong, a little uneasy, and wanted to stop him, "No, just... Excuse... Waitonesecond! (No... Sorry... Wait a while!)"

Before Alfred rushed onto the stage, Rudolph inserted the blade into the center of the box and put it down hard.

Cheerful music sounded on the stage, and the assistant lady pushed away the box divided into two parts, signaling to the audience the success of the magic trick.

"Wave 'em," Rudolph waved to the crowd, along with Bruce, who appeared to be only half his body.

Seeing that Bruce was fine, Alfred stopped rushing forward, seemed a little startled, and retreated to Lai and applauded.

Then Barbara put the box in half back together again.Opening the box, Bruce, who was still intact, stood up, greeted the audience, and smiled sheepishly.

"Some say Bruce has a split personality, hahaha."

Barbara took Bruce by the hand and sent him back to where he was, Alfred said softly, "Very good, Master Bruce."

Barbara blew a kiss to Bruce, Xiao Lai looked at this figure and felt a little familiar.

So he approached Alfred and asked, "Do you think they look familiar?"

Rudolph picked up the microphone, "The next magic trick, I would like to invite the Honorable Deputy Mayor, Harrison Kane."

The deputy mayor happily laid his hand on Barbara who had come to invite him.

The deputy mayor waved to everyone on the stage. Barbara pushed out a small cart and pulled up the black cloth covering it. There were sharp throwing knives on the small cart.

Holding the black cloth and bowing for a bow, Barbara took off her mask and blinked her left eye coquettishly at Xiao Lai.

"Oh, mygod." Recognizing Barbara's Lai, she turned and called Gordon in a fright.

Gordon, who was packing his bags at GCPD, answered the phone, "Xiao Lai..."

"Jim, Barbara is here too, and I think Jerome might be..." Before he finished speaking, Xiao Lai was fainted with a handkerchief from behind.

Listening to the silent cell phone, Gordon felt that something was wrong, so he hurried to the charity party.

Jerome picked up a throwing knife, "By the way, who..." His tone suddenly became playful, "Don't even think about getting out alive."

Everyone in the audience thought it was a joke played by the magician, and they all laughed, including the deputy mayor who couldn't see his eyes when he laughed.

Until Jerome's throwing knife fell into the deputy mayor's chest, the deputy mayor fell down feeling the sting.Barbara cheered, and Jerome laughed cheerfully.

The waiter arranged by Theo walked to the venue, picked up the gun covered by the tablecloth on the tray, and pointed it at the gorgeous chandelier.

"Okay, Master Bruce, it's time to go." Sensing that it was an attack, Alfred first thought of protecting Bruce.

"Dang!" Jerome on the stage saw people fleeing in all directions, raised his hands to make an etiquette that he showed when he appeared on the stage, and laughed loudly.

Alfred, a former member of the Royal Navy, was able to handle two bandits despite being a steward now.

Bruce, who encountered this kind of thing for the first time, was a little panicked, until he saw Serena walking in the crowd, and rushed to protect her.

And Alfred, who was distracted after seeing this scene, was also knocked unconscious by the gangsters at the side.

The author has something to say: There are many scenes of the master, but I only wrote it now.I have a deep impression of the young master, but I forgot which season I went out to experience, walking on the pier, wearing a black windbreaker, which is very cool (inexplicably thinks of Sherlock)

Speaking of which, in fact, Cameron wasn't the one who looked good when he was a child, why the longer he grows, the better he looks.

PS: Did you find a cryptic confession in the last chapter (I'm not sure if it counts), that is, Honghong said that there is a person who will always believe that he can become a crime superstar in Gotham. The show is about Theo, but I changed it.There is our little Fufu
