Rich people's tastes

"Alas, what a heartless woman," Roland sighed.

"What's wrong with your blood?" Jason asked worriedly. "Are you making Nitroglycerin in your own veins?"

"It's nothing, just a minor problem," Roland said vaguely. "Let's go back. I wonder how things are at the Church."

"We've only been out for a short time. The design drawings probably aren't even finished yet."

"You'll know when you get back."

When the two returned to the Church, construction had already begun. Roland wanted to go closer to take a look, but a man wearing a red Hard Hat stopped him. "Put your Hat on!"

"Where's the Designer?" Roland asked, putting on his Hard Hat.

"He's on the Construction Site; you'll see him if you go this way," the Safety Officer pointed out.

"OK."

Dust filled the Construction Site. Roland searched for a while before finding the Designer. "Why did you start construction so quickly? Have the design drawings arrived yet?"

"Of course, don't underestimate my professional skills." The Designer pulled a thick stack of design drafts from his backpack. "Take a look, I guarantee there won't be any problems."

Roland's eyelids twitched. Wasn't it a bit too much to complete this much work in such a short time?

"After all, I have to get my salary right," the Designer said. "The workers feel the same way."

"Is the salary I'm offering very high?" Roland asked Jason.

"... That's impossible, I've already tried my best to lower the price." Jason quickly shook his head.

"Huh? Didn't you give us a raise before?"

When did I say that?

"Your Finance Officer will inform us when they send us the money."

"Where would I Finance Officer from?" Roland was stunned.

"Don't look at me like that, where would I get so much secret money?" Jason shrugged.

"Would someone impersonate your Finance Officer to pay your salary and buy materials for you?" the Designer laughed.

"... It's hard to say." Roland had a rough idea of what was going on.

"There really are people like that?" The Designer was taken aback. "To put it bluntly, he might be trying to keep you as a mistress."

"How is that possible...?"

"It's hard to say what the tastes of wealthy people are."

Is it too late for me to deduct your salary now?

"Hey, this is illegal!" the Designer raised his hand.

"So, it wasn't Bruce Wayne who gave us the money, was it?" Jason asked quietly.

"That should be him." Roland nodded. "This guy..."

"You two aren't really having an affair, are you?" Jason thought back to what had happened before. "Was Bruce Wayne's Playboy just an act? Was he actually with you...?"

Roland slapped Jason on the head with a chop, "Get lost! I'll hand you over to Bruce to pay for this later."

"Hiss..." Jason covered his head, "Give me to Bruce? Is there really such a good thing?"

"Do you think this is a good thing?" Roland whispered eerily. "Bruce also adopted Little Boy before, but later, that child developed many scars and his personality changed drastically. After he grew up, he took a large sum of money and moved to another city..."

"That sounds a bit perverted, doesn't it?" Jason didn't believe Roland's words at all.

"I'm telling the truth," Roland shrugged.

Jason glanced at him but said nothing.

"Boss... I have news!" A child ran over.

"What news?" Roland was hit by a foul odor. "What's that smell coming from you?"

The smell of the Sewers...

"You went into the Sewers again?" Roland asked, puzzled. "You're not one of Killer Croc's men."

"There's a girl in the Underground Kingdom who's with me..."

"Well done, daring to steal the girl from the Killer Croc's family." Roland chuckled, handing him a hundred-yuan bill. "Next time you take a girl to the movies, the Aquarium, or the Ferris Wheel, I'll teach you how to operate it later."

"Isn't this puppy love?" Jason reminded him. "And you can even teach people how to date?"

"That's not the point. The point is I heard a secret: Carmine Falcone ordered his nephew John Vitty, to kidnap Commissioner Gordon's wife and their newborn child."

"Wait, who told you that?" Roland exclaimed in surprise.

"We were on a date at the Docks today when we overheard Falcone and his nephew talking about this. They felt safe talking to each other since no one Docks, unaware that we were right below them."

"Okay... did you specify a time?"

"Tonight."

"Alright, just don't tell anyone about this. Being retaliated against by the Falcone family is no joke." Roland said, then rode away on his motorcycle.

Before going to Gordon's house, Roland first went to an Anime Clothing Store and bought a Batman- style mask.

When they arrived at Gordon's house, Gordon had just gotten off work.

Upon seeing Roland, Gordon was somewhat surprised, "You are... Roland?"

How did you figure it out at a glance?

"Nonsense, Batman's chin is white. What are you doing wearing a Batman mask?"

"Someone's trying to target your family, so I came to help," Roland said.

"Thank you." Gordon nodded and led Roland into the house.

Barbara was inside with her newborn son, James Gordon. Gordon went in and said a few words to her, then came out feeling snubbed.

"Did my wife yell at me again?"

"No, she's just a little unhappy. I've been a bit too busy with work lately..." Gordon pulled a case of beer from under the sofa and tossed one to Roland.

"The baby was just born, why don't you apply for a leave of absence?" Roland picked up the Ballpoint Pen on the table, used it to Ballpoint Pen a hole in a beer can, then opened the tab and drank the entire can of beer in one gulp.

"I can't leave the Police Station." Gordon pulled the tab and chugged his drink. "Killian B. Rob has too much influence in the Police Station. If I leave, officers who refuse to work with him will be in danger. If I Police Station, I can deal with him."

"Alright..." Roland opened a box of Pistachios, "That's what I say, but you..."

Before Roland could say anything more, Gordon's phone rang. He made an apologetic gesture and answered the call.

"Regarding the robbery on Maple Street, we have some leads... Yes, several members of our team are following up on it... In addition, some related leads have been sent to the Evidence Unit..."

"About the incident at the Docks... I heard they arrested two drug smugglers; one was killed, and the one who escaped probably didn't get far..."

"We caught that thug from the Falcone family... He accused Officer Rose of torture... Officer Rose is now saying he wants to resign..."

Roland shook his head, picked up a cigarette, and was about to light it when he remembered there was a baby in the next room, so he put the cigarette back in his pocket.

"How about I help you solve this, and you go keep your wife company?" Roland suggested to Gordon after thinking for a moment.

"Then forget it." Gordon shook his head. "Don't corrupt my officers."
