Chapter 118 Chapter 118 [VIP]

Megan looked around from time to time as she walked along the street. She was curious about the outside world, but she had been too timid in the past, and therefore afraid to go out alone. She also didn't want to be seen. She was afraid of many things, but later she realized that it seemed like she was just worrying too much. No matter what she did -

As long as she didn't deliberately approach danger, she wouldn't attract a lot of attention. She tried many things, but none of them actually caused terrible consequences.

The world is not as scary as she subconsciously thinks, and the people around Megan are not stubbornly trying to correct her wrong perception quickly. Instead, they give her enough time to practice, witness and analyze on her own. Only in this way can she get the answer she is sure of.

It is precisely because of this that she takes every step firmly. Even if the pace is a little slow, it will not cause her to question the path and direction she has taken. She has gained an unparalleled sense of security, and her self-confidence has also been stimulated.

Now she walks on the busy streets, and she is not afraid even if there is no familiar person around her. When she passes by a store, she takes a flyer from the clerk. She wants to fold a paper hat, but it is boring because she has already played with it, so she squats on the side of the road, presses it to the ground and folds it into a flat-top paper airplane.

Megan stood up and threw the paper airplane out. It only flew in a beautiful arc for the first distance, then it distorted its course and finally fell down. She chased after it to pick up the paper airplane and began to wonder what went wrong. It didn't fly very high or far, and it didn't meet Megan's expectations. She tried again and the same thing happened. She thought she was too short, and looked around to see if she could get high enough.

There was a flower bed next to it, but even if she climbed up to the edge of the flower bed, it was still not high enough. So when she found a warning post on the side of the road, she ran over and stuffed the paper airplane into the hood of the hoodie she was wearing today.

The warning post was one meter and two meters high, just reaching Megan's chin. It should have been a little difficult to climb up, but Megan refused to give up. She fought with it for seven or eight minutes, and finally successfully conquered the warning post. She stood on it shakily, stretching her arms to maintain her balance.

There was only a small space at the top of the warning post, but Richard had trained her to tame wild warning posts. Standing at this one-meter-two-meter-high position, combined with her own height, she was taller than the people on the street. She was very satisfied with her current height. She shrugged one shoulder and tried hard to take out the paper airplane from her hat with her backhand. Since the flyer was made of thinner coated paper, it was harder than the paper of the exercise book, and it had been folded, so if she was careful, it would not be deformed.

Megan was satisfied. She pinched the flat top of the paper airplane again, squeezed it a little more firmly, and threw the paper airplane out with force. Then the next second——

Her Majesty Little Bear was betrayed by her unfaithful subject, the Warning Pillar. Because she threw the paper airplane too hard, her center of gravity was unstable and she fell down. Megan didn't even scream before she was suddenly caught by someone.

The person who caught Megan was a complete stranger to her. He was tall, dressed in a suit, and had a stern face without any expression. In Gotham, people with this kind of body shape and dress were mostly hired thugs or bodyguards.

After Megan was put down on the ground, she looked up at him curiously and thought he looked like the former. When she looked around, she found that there were several other people dressed like him around her, surrounding her.

This was the first time she had encountered such a thing. She was at a loss, but not too panicked. She tilted her head and still didn't quite understand the current situation. Even though she had studied the "Child Safety Manual" compiled by professionals in Arkham and knew a little about Gotham, she didn't know what she would face.

She was still confused and bewildered, but she didn't want to run away. She was very aware of her short legs. There was no expression on her face. She looked at people without saying a word, but she looked a little pitiful.

The young child stood with her hands behind her back, looking at this person and then that person, trying to get an answer to the question of "what happened" from someone. She pouted and looked a little unhappy.

Megan didn't speak actively. She confirmed that they were all people she didn't know. It seemed that they had some purpose. Then she heard the person who caught her say, "Mr. Cobert invites you to the Iceberg Restaurant."

Basically, the thugs who can get close to the boss have strict professional ethics and abide by strict life-saving codes. They know not to ask questions that they shouldn't ask, and they know not to speculate about the boss's private affairs. So when Mr. Cobert asked him to bring someone to pick up a child playing on the street and told him not to hurt her, he came directly and acted in full accordance with the boss's orders.

Megan said "Oh". It was Os who invited her to play, but she remembered what Bane told her seriously, that is, not to show her familiarity with the people in Arkham in front of outsiders, otherwise it would bring her unpredictable danger.

But she didn't know how to behave. Since the person who was supposed to pick her up had already arrived, she just followed with her short legs. The person who first picked her up and talked to her noticed that she walked slowly and had small steps, so he waited for her to catch up. On the way, Megan looked for her paper plane, but she couldn't see it anywhere.

She was surrounded by four thugs in black suits, walking around a corner and about to enter the Iceberg Restaurant.

The waiter at the restaurant entrance had just opened the heavy glass door when something unexpected happened. Several Robin darts flew over from a high altitude, and the bright yellow cloak followed.

He shouted, "Get out of the way!" and rushed straight forward, pulling the grappling gun to break through the encirclement of four people, landing next to Megan, and protecting her in a relatively safe position behind him. When the thugs inside and outside the store were about to react, Robin decisively threw a smoke bomb, and he picked up Megan horizontally and took her away without a trace.

Seeing the two teenagers disappear, the person in charge of the Iceberg Restaurant apologized to the Penguin Man. After all, the guests he invited were robbed in front of the door, which was a great shame.

The sinister, obese, and vicious criminal stood in front of the French window and waved his hand casually. He had a burning cigar in his mouth and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, "Don't worry about it." He was on a high floor, just able to look over the building in front and see the street behind the corner.

When the Penguin first saw Megan walking alone on the street, he recognized her at a glance. It was rare that she was not accompanied by the Joker or the group of inmates in Arkham that he was very familiar with. Seeing her squatting on the street and folding paper airplanes was nothing, but watching the child aiming at a warning post that was almost as tall as her and struggling to climb up, he could no longer sit still.

——This unfortunate child! Didn’t the clown teach her what dangerous actions should not be done?

He was furious and asked his men to bring her back. No one was watching the child, and she was so bold that she would do anything. So what was wrong with him bringing her back?

How did the Joker raise his child, and what about those trash in Arkham? The Penguin thought grimly, watching Megan standing on the warning post and throwing a paper airplane. Fortunately, the men he sent caught her, otherwise he didn't want to hear Megan crying in front of him, especially not saying anything about missing the Joker or wanting the Joker's comfort, which would completely piss him off.

But now he didn't have that worry. The Penguin waved his hand, and the men behind him left on their own and closed the door for him. He took off his cigar and put it out in the ashtray on the table beside him. After thinking about it, he didn't tell anyone about Megan's news.

In fact, all the mentally ill criminals in Arkham knew something about Megan, but they didn't investigate it too deeply. After all, they still had to take care of the Joker. What if the madman misunderstood someone and wanted to take away his fun? Once he went crazy, no one wanted to take responsibility and accept his revenge.

Like the Penguin, his attitude towards Megan is: she is a child he has watched grow up, but because she belongs to the Joker, she is also a potential trouble.

He will not deliberately build a good relationship with Megan or express goodwill. This is a completely unprofitable act and he will not get anything in return. But taking care of her occasionally is not a problem. He has no shortage of patience or money.

But Penguin thought...

It was Robin who took Megan away. They seemed to be good friends, but the Joker's daughter and the son of the Bat? The Penguin found it funny and ironic, but then he wondered if this was all part of the Joker's plan. As far as that madman was concerned, no matter what situation he created, it wouldn't be surprising.

He let Megan and Robin play instead of cutting off their relationship. It couldn't be that he did it just to watch this comedy, but the Penguin couldn't figure out the Joker's intention for a while. He pulled the corner of his mouth in annoyance and simply ignored it.

On the other side, Robin took Megan away, and looked back from time to time to see if there were any pursuers. Even if he found nothing, he took Megan to a far distance to avoid being tracked.

He stayed in a place he thought was safe. It was a semi-abandoned building with fifteen floors. It used to be a commercial building. Later, as the commercial district moved, most of the companies that had moved there moved away. Only a few small businesses were still working there because of the cheap rent. They were already half-dead, but they were still holding on.

Especially the top floor, which was vacant at first, but was well preserved. He took Megan and flipped down from the ventilation duct, but he jumped first. The ceiling was several meters above the ground. Robin could fall down without any harm, but Megan could not.

Robin even flipped over when he landed, showing off his skills. Then he returned to the ventilation duct and held out his hand to Megan, who was still lying on it. "I'll catch you, Mei!"

Megan looked at the height and then at him, remaining silent and refusing to move.

He blinked his eyes behind the Donomy mask and told Megan to wait for him. Then he found a ladder from somewhere, placed it under the ventilation duct, climbed up and carried Megan down, then let her climb down slowly by herself.

But when she saw Robin sitting on the ladder bar, Megan hesitated and sat down as well.

Robin said, "We talked about birthdays last time, didn't we?"

His birthday was a while ago, and Bruce held a birthday party for him. He was very happy and satisfied. And because he had secretly taken a look at Megan's information before... just when they were hanging out together last time, he finally brought up this topic.

But Megan showed that she was unfamiliar with birthdays, so Robin asked her to go back and look up her date of birth. When she realized this -

Robin would then take out the surprise he had prepared for her.

The author has something to say:

Yesterday I had a headache in the afternoon, and today I had a headache in the morning. I took painkillers, and then I continued to have a headache in the afternoon, so I took painkillers again.
