Chapter 27 The Fate of Gotham
In the living room, which was larger than Sui Feng's entire house, Alfred was shivering. He had just taken two mouthfuls of hot soup, which gave his pale face a little more color.
It seems that this cursed soul is really not simple. The housekeeper's spirit has been greatly impacted, and even walking has become a problem.
After resting for a while, Alfred regained his composure, and then said to Bruce Wayne, who had been waiting for a long time: "Court of Owls, this is the name I found from the master's memory."
"Court of Owls?"
Bruce Wayne has never heard of this name, and there is no such department in Gotham's judicial system.
Alfred explained: "This is an ancient organization that has been passed down for hundreds of years. It is composed of Gotham's dignitaries and heirs of ancient families. Our Wayne family was once a member of it."
Bruce Wayne asked excitedly: "Then why did they kill my parents?"
"Perhaps it's because I am preparing to clean up this cancer in Gotham. The Court of Owls has controlled Gotham for hundreds of years, and they have done many heinous crimes. Once I know this, I can prepare to clear out the Court of Owls. Only
It's a pity that his strength alone is not enough."
Alfred's words made Bruce Wayne clenched his fists and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
After this period of investigation, he discovered that the Wayne Group was involved in many serious crimes. Bruce Wayne once worried about whether his father was also involved. Now it seems that it is precisely because his father is upright and kind.
, then he would be assassinated.
But at this time, Sui Feng said: "It sounds like this Court of Owls is just a group of rich people. It just kills people. Why do they want to curse Thomas Wayne's soul?"
Other capitalists have blood and sweat flowing through their money, but Gotham’s capitalists have their souls flowing through their money?
Even for Gotham, this is an exaggeration.
Alfred shook his head and said: "Curse and assassination should be two different things. In the master's memory, there has been a legend circulating in the Wayne family. Once upon a time, Gotham was coveted by an evil god, so Gotham's
The owner will be cursed by the evil god and become corrupted. But the master has very little memory of this matter and has never taken it to heart."
"Evil God? It's really interesting. If you find more information, you can tell me. Maybe I can find a way to lift the curse."
Sui Feng felt that things were starting to get interesting. He originally thought it was a science fiction version of Gotham, but it turned out to be magic.
"I will look for information based on Master's memory."
Alfred now completely believes in Sui Feng's ability, so he is willing to cooperate fully.
"Mr. Sui, thank you."
Bruce Wayne's thanks were very sincere, and Sui Feng felt that he would have no problem asking him for 10 to 20 million dollars now.
But Sui Feng doesn't know how to use money.
He still has hundreds of thousands of dollars in the bank and doesn't know how to spend it.
"That's pretty much it. You decide how to handle this information." Sui Feng stood up, as if he was about to leave, but suddenly turned back and said, "However, there is one last thing I want to confirm.
"
Bruce Wayne asked curiously: "What is it?"
Sui Feng organized his words and then said: "Since the curse of the evil god is a long-standing legend, will everyone in the Wayne family be cursed? Mr. Wayne, what about your soul?"
"
Bruce Wayne and Alfred's eyes widened when they heard these words. This time they were really frightened.
Alfred quickly said: "Mr. Sui, can you help verify it?"
"Of course, but I don't think it makes sense. This curse should only be triggered after death. So what if you know that everyone in the Wayne family has been cursed? We don't have any solution. And even if Mr. Wayne
If you haven't been cursed yet, will you give up on finding a solution? I'm just reminding you that this matter may be more serious than you think."
Sui Feng's words once again shocked the two of them.
In the end, Bruce Wayne did not let Sui Feng take out his soul for testing.
It's not that the prince of Gotham is not brave enough, but that he has made up his mind to solve this matter completely regardless of whether there is a curse or not, and at the same time dig out the Court of Owls and save Gotham.
Sui Feng was not optimistic about Bruce Wayne's determination.
It seems that no matter which dimension Batman is, he can't solve Gotham's problems.
For Batman, the writers have all kinds of fanciful preferences and add various buffs to him, but even if Batman can kill Superman, he still can't manage Gotham. It's like an invisible fate traps him here.
You can get everything you want, money, ability, wisdom, friendship, love... but Gotham can never be redeemed.
But this is a problem that Bruce Wayne needs to worry about.
When Sui Feng left Wayne Manor and returned home in James Gordon's car, the sky began to light up.
The whole night was really tiring.
Sui Feng had a good sleep. From early morning to afternoon, he felt that the injury on his shoulder was much better.
Looking at the time, lunch was too late and dinner was too early. Sui Feng could only knock on Mrs. Cobot's door next door to see if he could have some afternoon tea.
As a housewife who lives a delicate life, afternoon tea is a must.
Sui Feng liked the scented tea and homemade muffins prepared by Mrs. Cobot very much, which were more in line with his taste than those outside.
As soon as I entered the door, I was very surprised to see Oswald there.
This busy man probably doesn't have much time to stay at home on weekdays.
"Oswald, why are you here?"
Oswald showed a flattering smile and said, "Of course I'm waiting for you, Mr. Sui."
Sui Feng reacted and asked: "Does the whole Gotham know what happened last night?"
"Of course, the assassination of the Prince of Gotham was as sensational as the murder of the Waynes. Even the mayor was alarmed and asked the Gotham Police Department to find the murderer as quickly as possible."
Oswald is very excited, because he is the one who most believes in "chaos is the ladder of ascent". The last big chaos allowed him to take over the Imperial Theater, and now he can't wait to officially become the second Fish Mooney.
When he found out that Sui Fengyu was also involved in this matter, Oswald was elated.
With his intelligence, he has already thought of a hundred ways to benefit from this matter.
Who would have thought that Sui Feng would come back early in the morning and sleep all day long.
"Wayne is the master of Gotham. You want to sell favors to Wayne and gain Wayne's support?"
"Yes, it's easy to talk to a smart man like Mr. Sui. This is a good opportunity. If Mr. Sui can help me introduce him to the prince of Gotham, I will be very grateful."
Sui Feng found that he had really made a lot of progress. He guessed Oswald's idea without much thinking. But the word "smart" could not be called a smart person. At most, he was just a person who thought very hard.
Just people.
Sui Feng did not accept the offer from Oswald, but carefully considered being a middleman.
Bruce Wayne needs to investigate the Court of Owls and the curse of the evil god, and he only has an old butler by his side. There are almost no available manpower in the Wayne Group. Oswald is now stepping in to help. For Bruce Wayne,
a good thing.
However, the butler may not be willing to deal with gangsters like Oswald.
Sui Feng thought for a moment, and then said to Oswald: "Introduction is okay, but you can't go empty-handed. I have a list here. If you can find the people on it, maybe it can be used as a certificate of nomination."
Sui Feng took a piece of paper and wrote down a bunch of names and physical characteristics.
Oswald took it and looked at it, and asked doubtfully: "What are these?"
