A few minutes ago.

"Li, you went out on a police call just now?"

"Oh, it's Commissioner Gordon. I just handled a very... strange case."

"What strange case?" Commissioner Gordon took out a cigarette and offered one to Sergeant Li.

"If I had to pinpoint it, it would be a relationship dispute..." Sergeant Li lit a cigarette, his expression somewhat strange.

"A relationship dispute? But I saw you brought quite a few weapons to the evidence room," Commissioner Gordon asked suspiciously. "What happened?"

"It's a really strange story. There was a really hot girl who took a liking to a Priest, but the Priest, perhaps because of his status, didn't accept her." Sergeant Li took a deep drag of his cigarette with a look of utter disbelief. "As a result, the girl brought more than a dozen relatives to confront the Priest, but he took them all down by Priest."

"Is that so?" Gordon asked, as if listening to a story. "This Priest is quite devout; he's unmoved by this."

"Who can argue with that? I've also heard that the Priest is a very devout believer who often helps Homeless Children. You don't see many good people like that in Gotham."

"Yeah..." Gordon nodded, then suddenly felt something was off. "Wait, what was that Priest's name?"

"Uh... it seems to be Father Roland."

"Oh no!" Gordon exclaimed in alarm. "Something's not right! Where is he? Take me there now!"

"Something's not right?" Sergeant Li was startled by Gordon.

"Damn it, other people might hesitate when they see a pretty girl, but that bastard Roland would definitely throw his underwear in her face the moment he sees her! This is really not right!" Gordon said impatiently, "Take me to Roland right now!"

"Oh... okay." Sergeant Li nodded and led Gordon towards the Dark Room.

Roland stared blankly at Commissioner Gordon, who burst through the door, and exclaimed, "Wait, what are you doing?"

"Uh..." Gordon's face darkened as he watched Roland prepare to take off his clothes. "You're going to do this at the Police Station?"

"No, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..." Roland quietly pulled up his pants, "We were just having a chat... It's a bit of a relationship issue, but it'll be fine once we talk it out."

"What exactly happened?" Gordon pulled Roland aside. "You weren't threatened by that woman, were you?"

"No, I initially thought she had ulterior motives, but now I roughly know who she is... Talia El Gul, the daughter of the Demon's Head," Roland said to Gordon.

"You mean, her father is a demon king who has lived for seven hundred years, possesses unparalleled wisdom and martial prowess, is immortal, and has forces all over the world under his command, and she, as that demon king's most beloved daughter, has taken a liking to your superior genes and wants to have a child with you who can rule the world? And for this, she didn't hesitate to send her father's men to kidnap you?"

"Yes, that's it."

"Roland," Gordon patted Roland on the shoulder, "I told you last time, the Mad Hatter's Wonderland Device should be used in moderation. Look at you, now you're taking your daydreams seriously... What are we going to do?"

I'm telling the truth.

"Oh right, right... we'll go see Gilda later, but let me remind you, she's Harvey's fiancée. Don't think she has feelings for you too."

"No, you..." Roland struggled for a long time to convince Gordon that he was telling the truth.

"Those people who were arrested are all members of the League of Assassins, what should we do with them...?" Commissioner Gordon was somewhat troubled.

"Of course we're releasing him. Do you want to fight Ra's al Ghul? Besides, he doesn't seem to have any criminal record here. What right do you have to detain him?"

If assassins from the League of Assassins could commit crimes without leaving a criminal record, Ra's al Ghul would have dragged them out and buried them long ago to save them the shame. Why would they be here?

"That makes sense, but knowing they were assassins, releasing them..."

"Don't worry about it. Once I become Ra's al Ghul's son-in-law, I'll make them all goodwill ambassadors."

So you're planning to have a baby now?

"When... this..." Roland suddenly realized something, "This really won't do."

Roland thought of his Mixed-Blood bloodline. It was cool on him, but passing it on to the next generation would be a problem.

In Mixed-Blood, if the proportion of Dragon blood exceeds that of human blood, the Mixed-Blood is closer to a dragon than a human, meaning they would become Dead Servant.

Furthermore, Dragon bloodlines can be recessive in genetic inheritance, and these recessive genes may slowly awaken. This can lead to Mixed-Blood gradually becoming dragon-like, eventually turning into Dead Servant if they exceed the 50% threshold.

Although Roland didn't marry a Mixed-Blood, that doesn't mean there were no risks. Chu Tianjiao and Su Xiaoyan could still have Chu Zihang; who knows what will happen to their own child?

He didn't have a report from the Genetics Department at Cassell College telling him how likely his offspring were to have unstable genes.

"What's going on here? Given your personality, shouldn't you have already told me to get lost and then taken your pants off?" Gordon asked, puzzled.

"I have no hesitation about teacher training, but having children..."

"Hey, hey, hey, you should just think those kinds of things in your head. Why did you say them out loud? It's obvious you don't want to take responsibility."

"Yeah, how can I gallop on horseback with a baby in my belly?"

"... If you can get Jason to be your wingman, I don't think you're incapable of riding a horse with a child."

"How do you even know this? Did Jason tell you?"

"No, Bruce told me."

"That's not the point... How am I supposed to reply to that?"

"Just tell her you're not interested. I have to say, being able to reject a girl like that puts you second only to Bruce in our standing." Gordon patted Roland on the shoulder. "Sigma Male, go for it."

"Um... young lady, I'm really not ready to have children right now," Roland said sincerely to Talia.

"Oh, why?" Talia asked, a hint of doubt in her voice. "Do you have some concerns?"

"It's not a concern, it's just that I have some genetic issues right now. If I'm going to have children... I need to resolve these health problems first."

"What's wrong with your health?" Talia asked suspiciously, feeling that Roland was just trying to fool her.

"This is a big problem..." Roland squeezed a drop of blood from his fingertip, which then dripped onto his sleeve. A few seconds later, the sleeve burst open.

Of course, Roland hadn't used Blood Rage yet, so it shouldn't have achieved the same effect as Chu Zihang's; this was just a small application of the Red Letters.

Strictly speaking, this isn't exactly a lie; it's dragon blood, so this is quite normal.

"Although we can't reproduce now, but..." Roland rubbed his hands together.

"... We only met today, isn't it a bit too much of a rush?"

"You already want to have a baby with me, so what's the rush?"

"I'm planning to undergo in vitro fertilization... I can only provide you with the necessary materials."
