Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

Chapter 118 Meeting Bruce Wayne for the First Time

In the ward, Barbara was lying on a hospital bed with a bandage on her right arm and a cast on her left foot.

Beside the hospital bed, there were two people, one big and one small, standing.

The older one was tall and handsome, wearing a custom-made expensive suit and an expensive watch. His sapphire-like pupils did not give the impression of being bright, but of an elusive depth.

The small one, although not as tall as the previous one, is still much stronger than the average person. Wearing ordinary and crisp casual clothes, he is even more handsome than the former one. What is revealed in the depths of his eyes is not profound but pure.

The two also have blue pupils, but they seem to be completely opposite.

Bang.

At this time, the door of the ward opened suddenly, and Dean and Cassandra stood at the door together, looking at the three people in the ward.

"Dick?"

Dean recognized the old acquaintance in the ward at a glance.

"Dean? Why are you here?"

Dick looked at Dean who came suddenly, and asked in surprise.

"And who is that little sister behind you?"

"Kassan! How did you get here?"

At the same time, Barbara on the hospital bed noticed Cassandra's existence and asked quickly.

"And why are you with Dean?"

"Hey! Can you two ask questions separately, or unify your opinions a little?"

Dean spread his hands and said helplessly.

"So many questions, I don't know which one to answer first."

"Just start from the beginning."

Dick couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

"Well, the fact is that I went to the library today to read, and I happened to meet Cassandra, she needed... some help, and I helped her, so we met, and then we got I knew that Barbara was hospitalized, so I wanted to come to see her."

Dean briefly summed it up.

"Uh... so why did you bring Cassandra over to see Barbara?"

Dick didn't know Cassandra, nor did he know about Barbara and Cassandra.

"Kashan is a very poor child. She... ran away from home when she was very young and wandered outside for many years."

Halfway through speaking, Barbara glanced at Cassandra, and continued to introduce after the latter nodded to express her indifference.

"The child has never been to school and can't speak. Once I saw her lying on the outside of the library window and looking in, and then..."

Barbara talked about how she and Cassandra met, "Since then, Kassan often came to the library, and I taught her to read."

Listening, Dean suddenly felt something was wrong.

Why did Barbara never mention Cassandra's high-strength martial arts?

Did she not know, or was she deliberately hiding it?

Dean looked at Barbara, then at Cassandra.

If it was a secret that Cassandra was good at fighting, then she should not have been able to show force in front of Dean without any scruples just now.

Even if Dean knew Barbara and patiently taught Cassandra some new words, wouldn't he be so trusting to someone he met for the first time?

But if Barbara doesn't know that Cassandra knows martial arts, it seems very unlikely. They have known each other much longer than Dean, so Barbara doesn't know what even Dean knows?

Of course, it is also possible that Barbara and Cassandra only meet in the library, and at night Barbara will go to be Batgirl, and it is possible that she will not have the chance to see Cassandra use force.

"Your name is Cassandra, right?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded from beside Dean.

It turned out to be the tall middle-aged man in the ward who walked in front of Cassandra at some point.

Cassandra nodded quietly, her eyes wide open.

"I'm Bruce Wayne. If you need help, you can go to the Wayne Charitable Foundation. There is an orphanage specially built for street children. You can receive subsidy funds every month, and you can go to school for free. "

With a warm smile on Bruce's face, he said to Cassandra in a gentle tone.

At this moment, Dean vaguely noticed that the corners of Dick's and Barbara's eyes twitched at the same time, and he didn't know why.

Cassandra shook her head lightly, and made several gestures at Bruce.

"Okay, I understand, but the Wayne Foundation will respond to your request for help at any time."

Bruce sighed, it was too difficult to do a good job in Gotham, there were too many people like Cassandra who would rather wander outside than accept relief from the Wayne Foundation.

He has enough technology to monitor the flow of every fund of the Wayne Foundation in real time, fundamentally eliminate the behavior of embezzlement, and absolutely guarantee that every penny will be implemented, but people are deeply rooted in the word 'charity' distrust has always been indelible.

Most people would rather leave with only a small amount of money each month than the free board, lodging and enrollment assistance provided by the Wayne Welfare Institute.

Even Bruce led the Wayne Group to spare no effort to transform Gotham, constructing projects, improving education, investing in medical care, and lowering prices...creating countless jobs for the people of Gotham.

Such investment regardless of cost caused Bruce to have conflicts with the Wayne Group's board of directors many times, once reaching the point of daggers, if he was not capable enough, he would have been killed long ago.

Even so, the situation in Gotham is getting better and better thanks to Bruce's efforts. The technology is developed, the economy is developed, education is developed, medical care is developed, and the quality of life of residents is getting better day by day, but all of these seem to belong to Gotham during the day .

Once night fell, the prosperity of Gotham vanished, and the crime lingered like a gangrene forever.

Why?

Bruce has thought about this problem many times, but even with his wisdom, he still can't figure out where the root cause is.

It seems to be a bit off topic, but it doesn't matter, it's just a moment anyway.

Beside, when Bruce and Cassandra finished talking, Dean said to Bruce eagerly.

"I really didn't expect to see you here, Mr. Wayne. I used to see your beautiful deeds on the TV news and heard many small things in life from Dick. I have wanted to see you for a long time, and finally today That wish came true."

The expression on Dean's face is not fake, the man in front of him is Batman, the father of DC who was blown up by countless people on the Internet in his previous life, and in this life, he has heard about the world's number one detective since he was a child. is fake.

Of course, this may also have something to do with Dean's current non-extraordinary system. If he is powerful enough, he might not care so much about Batman.

(Ahem, I will make up the chapter I owe tomorrow, and I will definitely make it up this time. There have been a lot of things in the past two days, and I am ashamed. At worst, I owe an extra chapter!)
