Chapter 98: Get out of the way. A knee-higher than the ground...
Someone stood on a platform that was knee-high above the ground.
Bruce nodded to Damian behind him and asked him to come out.
At the same time, everyone in the audience fell silent, waiting for him to speak.
He smiled, picked up a wine glass, and raised it to them, "Welcome..."
Bang!
Before he could finish his words, the door to the entrance was pushed open heavily, hitting the wall with a loud noise.
Several people lined up in two rows at the entrance, showing a welcoming gesture. Then, a tall figure walked in.
"It's quite impressive." Liu Shu stood on tiptoe and whispered in Tim's ear.
However, Tim looked at the calm man with an extremely shocked expression.
"Red Hood is not on our list." He looked like he wanted to do something, but unfortunately he couldn't do anything right now.
Jason walked up to Bruce, with only William following him, but his expression seemed more confident than anyone else.
There were whispers of conversation among the crowd.
"That... isn't from the Red Hood Group..."
"Hiss, keep your voice down. I've never known who Mr. William's boss is, but today I finally meet him."
"Is that Red Hood? He's not ugly, why is he covering his face?"
"Stop talking, has he looked over here?"
Liu Shu waved to Jason. After seeing him, he felt like everything was settled.
But for some reason, she always felt that there was a hint of confusion in Jason's eyes. Maybe she was seeing things.
"I guess you are the chairman of the Red Hood Group." Bruce quickly adjusted his mentality and nodded to the waiter beside him.
The waiter, who was experienced in the service industry, was also very aware of the situation. He brought Jason a glass of champagne.
"Yes." Jason frowned and glanced at his men.
"I thought Bruce would mock him for coming uninvited." Liu Shu was already speaking softly, but she heard the laughter of Tony and Strange not far away.
She glanced over there and saw that they actually gave her a thumbs-up.
"I don't think so..." Tim's smile was a little forced.
Sure enough, Bruce did not disappoint them at all.
"When I saw you, I remembered that I forgot to send out the invitations. I didn't expect you to come after all. It seems that we are quite destined to come." Bruce's words were full of ulterior motives, and he clearly said that he had trespassed into the venue.
"Really?" Jason didn't respond and didn't seem to be in the best of mood.
"It's okay. I have something important to announce. It's okay if you come. Please feel free to come." Bruce seemed to have realized something and he didn't say anything else.
"Everyone," he continued what he had just finished, "today..."
"What is he here for?" Tim took out his cell phone in confusion, wanting to see if anything special had happened.
"Just go and ask and you'll know." Liu Shu glanced at Bruce on the stage. He had already brought Damian in front of him.
"This is Damian," Bruce said, now grinning rather unintelligently, "yes, I have a child."
How could he talk to Jason without being noticed? Liu Shu stepped back. Many people were crowding toward Bruce, seemingly wanting to know what was going on.
While she was struggling, the crowd in front of her suddenly parted, as if trying to avoid something moving forward.
If you look a little higher, you can see Jason, who is half a head taller than others, walking towards you.
His intimidating power was still so amazing that Liu Shu and Tim looked at each other and moved aside.
"Where are you going?" Jason stopped them with a sour face.
"What's wrong?" Liu Shu looked behind him and found that William was not there.
"If you want to come, I can send you an invitation. You're being too high-profile." Tim was talking about something else, and it was obvious that his words were not important to Jason.
"They told me to rest today." Jason looked around and everyone around him avoided him. Suddenly, the place became empty. They all ran to the other half of the court. Only Tony and a few others were left watching this side as if they were watching a good show.
"William? And then you came here?" You were deceived, what a miserable life you have. Liu Shu seemed to be able to guess a little.
Jason pulled at the collar of his shirt, then looked back. After making sure William wasn't coming over, he unbuttoned two buttons.
"I thought it was something urgent, but he threw me a set of clothes and told me to change, and told me to continue reading documents if I didn't change."
"And then?" Tim's eyes gradually softened.
"Of course not. Tsk, I had already thought about how to fight when I opened the door just now, but ended up facing... What are they doing? What is the Red Hood Group?" Jason looked like he knew nothing.
"The Red Hood Group is a new company that's involved in healthcare, security, and education..." Tim recited it all at once. He looked up, looked at him seriously, and asked, "You don't know anything about this?"
"Me?" Jason shook his head. "What are they doing? Aren't we gangsters?"
"Are you surprised?" His expression was so funny. He had been kept in the dark. If it weren't for Bruce, he wouldn't have known that he had started a company, Liu Shu asked with a smile.
"You knew they did this?" Jason's tone was dangerous.
"I don't know."
"Destroy the Wayne Group and achieve dominance in both the black and white worlds of Gotham?" He clenched his fists as big as sandbags.
"What does it have to do with me? It was your little brother who did it." Liu Shu hid behind Tim.
"Take down Wayne Group?" Tim turned around and grabbed her hand.
"Hahahahahahaha..." Tony on the side laughed and hammered Strange next to him. His laughter diverted Jason's attention.
He took a deep breath, let Tony go for the moment, and continued to ask Liu Shu.
“How many of those documents are related to this plan?”
"I really don't know." Liu Shu became serious. She didn't want to take the blame for this, but then she thought about how many villains didn't have any documents to sign, and some even became villains just to avoid being office slaves.
She patted Tim's hand, telling him to let go.
"I'm guessing it's all of them. When you were fighting other gangs, did you ever see anything like 'documents' in their offices? The lockers of Penguin and Black Mask were filled with gold bars, not paper."
Having said that, Jason rubbed his temples in pain. He had heard the most horrible words, and if nothing unexpected happened, this kind of life would continue.
"It's okay. Didn't you see people like this when you were a kid? You can work during the day and be a villain at night." Liu Shu tried to comfort him.
"Talk less." Tim looked at her with the same eyes as Jason. Her words accidentally hurt many people.
Liu Shu nodded, feeling that the movement around her was a little different. She looked back and found that Tony stopped laughing and Strange started laughing.
"They are so cheerful." Liu Shu said with some sigh, this is what New Yorkers are like.
"Oh, you're cheerful even though you lost your brain." Jason said unhappily.
But he didn't seem that angry anymore. Liu Shu withdrew her idea of exploring. She couldn't understand him.
“…” Something seemed wrong with Tim.
"If you're too busy, just let Bruce do it." Liu Shu touched his hand gently.
"No, don't you think today's a little too normal?" There was a hint of worry on his face, but Tim wasn't one to ignore the anomaly. "They've been holding back. We knew it was today, but we didn't know when."
Timing? Liu Shu looked towards the most prominent person in the center. Bruce was surrounded tightly, but Damian was fine. With Dick around, no one would be too presumptuous.
"The Hongmen Banquet needs someone to smash the cup, but if you hesitate..." Liu Shu looked too closely and Damian discovered her.
His expression looked the same as usual, and Liu Shu smiled back at him, but he instantly turned away from her.
"I hope he does it soon..." Tim's words were obviously not what he really thought.
If you stay with someone who says one thing and means another for a long time, you won't be able to tell the truth anymore. Liu Shu looked at him with a concerned look.
"It will be very troublesome. We have to find and catch them one by one." He looked away.
"Do you need help?" Tony walked over with Strange.
"No need." Jason refused first.
"Hmm? Okay then," he shook his head, "That's not right, do you have the final say?"
"We don't need help." Tim's words clearly meant that Jason was keeping his word.
"..." Tony looked at them for a while, then turned and looked at Strange, "They really look alike."
"Why does he raise his children all the same?" Strange nodded.
"I don't know, but his eldest son is quite interesting. He just doesn't look like his family."
As they talked, they walked back.
"They're wandering around here, and it seems like they're having a lot of fun." Liu Shu didn't really understand what he was doing here, but Tony was still as friendly as ever.
"I shouldn't have invited him." Tim seemed to regret it even more.
"Ha, why not invite me instead of him?" Jason crossed his arms, not knowing which of Tony's words offended him, or maybe every one of them.
"I will later, but don't come too often." Tim's words seemed like a kind reminder.
"Why?" Doesn't it mean I need to go every time I'm invited? Liu Shu looked at him.
"You need to put on some airs and not be too easy to invite. If you don't come, remember to find a reason. Um - the most common ones we use are injuries from falling from a tree while skydiving, or car accidents while racing." Tim's opinion seemed to make sense.
"Okay..." Jason turned his head and looked at Bruce under the spotlight, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.
"You can say that he was hit by an RPG, fell from an attack helicopter, and was caught by the vigilantes." Liu Shu thought about it. She felt that Jason's identity was more convincing than anyone else's.
"?" Jason couldn't help but glare at her.
The banquet has entered the second half and nothing bad has happened. It is going quite smoothly.
"It seems he has thought it through." Liu Shu looked at Damian, who had his back to her, with some relief.
