Chapter 7

As a migrant worker who was fired as soon as he took office, on this first morning, or possibly the last morning, after losing his job, Mia decided to fill her stomach first after thinking for a while, and then think about the next thing.

After all, as the saying goes, eating is the most important thing in the world. Only by letting yourself eat and drink enough can you not lose concentration due to hunger during class or work. And besides, you must know that it is Ah Fu. No one will want to miss out on the delicious breakfast prepared for her.

So after washing up quickly, hiding the circus supplies scattered on the floor in the cloakroom, and promising the birds that she would mention the food-related things to Damian, Mia immediately ran downstairs.

The aroma of bacon mixed with the smell of bread filled the air, making her swallow her saliva unconsciously, "Hey, good morning, Afu!" She greeted him energetically, and at the same time, she quickly climbed to the dining table and spoke expectantly. I looked at him with eyes that seemed to say I'm ready, can we start having breakfast now?

This made Alfred feel a little funny, and he placed the juice and dinner plate in front of her. Bright and rich colors can always arouse people's appetite.

"Good morning, Miss Mia," he responded to her greeting with a smile, and asked her how she slept last night.

"Super cool," Mia replied. She picked up the cup in front of her, and the fruity aroma of freshly squeezed orange juice made her feel happy.

Speaking of which, every time she drank the freshly squeezed juice prepared by Ah Fu, Mia wanted to ask him what exactly he put in to make it so delicious.

After all, although the freshly squeezed juice prepared by Aunt Chloe didn't taste bad, it wasn't really delicious either. She wanted to ask him for his secret recipe and tell it to Aunt Chloe so that she could learn from it.

"But it seems that Dad didn't sleep well last night." Mia shook her head and continued. He was not in the restaurant this morning.

But if she had to say it, from the time she came to Gotham to today, she had never seen her father at breakfast time.

Every time it was after ten o'clock, almost eleven o'clock, he would slowly come downstairs in his pajamas, yawning, and see someone sitting at the table reading a book - compared to sitting in the living room or study room, Mia prefers to read in the dining room, which allows her to look out onto the garden - and greet her as she goes.

Compared to Bruce, Damian may appear in the restaurant more often. In fact, he gets up very early every day, so early that Mia wonders if he hasn't slept at all.

"Yes, he just didn't sleep. The Wayne family's youngest son doesn't need sleep." The little birds standing on the branches shouted after hearing Mia's question.

They flew to her hand, and their chirping sounds were automatically converted into human voices in her ears. "I heard my friend say that he would cut down trees and grass there every day at dawn!" One of them said Said the little bird. It refers to Damian's morning exercises every morning.

According to Mia's observations in the past few days... Well, okay, actually there was only one time. That day, because she had just arrived at Wayne Manor, she thought she should behave well, at least not stay in bed and get up too late. She heard that wealthy families are very strict.

So the night before, Mia lay down in bed early and closed her eyes. When the alarm clock rang the next day, it was rare that she did not add five minutes to five minutes. Instead, she quickly got up from the bed and started washing herself. After changing her clothes, she opened the door seriously and walked downstairs. As she walked, she was thinking about how she would greet her father and brothers later.

But when she arrived at the restaurant, she saw no one else. Only Alfred was standing in the kitchen. He was stunned when he saw her, as if he was surprised that there was someone other than Damian in the house. People who get up early - generally if they show up at breakfast time that means they've been up all night.

"Oh, good morning, Miss Mia, I'm so glad that there is another person enjoying breakfast today." He said to her, while placing the bread in front of her and telling her that if she was hungry, she could eat some of this first.

"Good morning, Afu." Mia responded in a low voice. She stepped forward and picked up a piece of bread from the plate. The slightly burnt crust exuded the unique aroma of cereals, which made her feel hungry

, but compared to this, "I Do you know who the other person who will have breakfast with me is?"

"It's Master Damian." Alfred looked at Mia's curious expression and replied with a smile. He pointed out the window. At this time, Damian An was doing morning exercises in the garden. He was wearing sportswear, and he quickly swung the samurai sword in his hand. The branches fell to the ground under his movements, making Mia exclaim. This was the first time she watched someone else practice up close. Martial arts.

"He does morning exercises every morning," he continued.

"What about Bruce...no, where's dad?" Mia tilted her head and asked. She hadn't seen him since the beginning.

"Master Bruce will not join this morning exercise. In fact, he rarely gets up at this time." Alfred shrugged and placed the milk in front of her.

"Oh, he stays in bed just like me." Mia muttered. She swallowed the bread in her mouth, then turned her head and continued to look at the garden.

At this time, Damian had finished his morning exercise and walked in from the door. He was holding that cool samurai sword. When he saw Mia, he had the same surprise as Alfred just now, but soon he Surprise turned into disdain, just like usual.

"Good morning, brother," Mia waved to him.

Compared with the title "Dad", it can be said that she applies it very well to her brother. After all, you must know that you can only have one father, but you can have countless brothers. Anyone older than her can be called brother.

"I just saw your morning exercise, it was so cool!" Mia continued, she tried to jump off the chair and show him the movements she just saw, but when she saw Alfred didn't agree She paused for a moment when he looked at her, then sat back obediently and continued eating the bread in her hand.

"That's just a very simple thing." Damian did not become proud because of Mia's praise. He just picked up a piece of bread from the plate with a calm face, as if those things were really simple.

Mia, who was successfully confused by Damian's appearance, also used this sentence to ask if she could do morning exercises with him.

She looked at him expectantly, and her mind had already begun to imagine herself becoming a great hero after this morning exercise - she often watched those martial arts movies with her mother and the others.

But it's a pity that as a child who only has three minutes of heat and often stays in bed in the morning, Mia gave up after persisting for a day, or to be precise, half a day. After all, not everyone can get up before six o'clock in the morning and run laps in such a large manor. That is simply torture!

"And he often goes out at night," the birds continued.

Occasionally, when they stay in the city at night, they will see Damian's figure. He is standing on a tall building in his colorful clothes. When he sees them approaching, he will take out some food from his belt and give them to them.

However, they did not tell Mia about this. They just said a few words casually and then started asking about the food. For them, this is obviously more important.

"So did you tell him? What did he say? Can we get hot dogs instead? I heard from the seagulls I met earlier that they taste so good!" the birds chirped as they jumped on her arms. Jumping over, it looked like he was already cheering for the hot dog that was about to come.

But unfortunately, "I haven't found him yet." Mia replied. After she started to stay in bed, the time between her and Damian was completely missed. Several times, it was a long time after Damian had finished breakfast that she slowly got up from the bed.

"Oh, that's right. As an animal trainer, you work at night, so of course you can't get up during the day." Xiaoniao thoughtfully made an excuse for her.

That made Mia feel ashamed. She was embarrassed to say that she only became an animal trainer today. Before that, she had been secretly reading comics and playing games every night.

"But it doesn't matter. We can ask Seth. She will definitely know where Damian is." The birds suggested.

The Seth they were talking about was a calico cat who lived in the garden. I heard from Alfred that it suddenly appeared in Wayne Manor a few months ago. They speculated that it was a stray cat. After all,

few domestic cats could be as vicious as it.

Yes, Seth is very fierce, perhaps because of his previous wandering experience. He is very vicious to every person and animal who wants to get close to him. He will open his fangs, raise his claws, and tie his tail high, trying to Use this to scare away those who approach it.

But Damian admires it very much. He will prepare food for it and help it treat it when it is injured. Even if it is scratched by it, he will not be angry. Instead, he says that it is a good behavior for them to be vigilant. In this dangerous world, the weak can only survive if they remain vigilant.

"Hey, hello, Seth." After listening to the advice of the birds, Mia went to the place where Seth often appeared (this was also what the birds told her). She squatted not far from it, cautiously Place the bread in your pocket before it. That's what she originally planned to give to the birds.

"I don't mean any harm, I just want to ask you where Damian is." Mia continued. She raised her hands to try to show it that she was friendly, but Seth didn't appreciate it at all, and it assumed an attack posture. Facing her, a warning sound came from its throat, "Why the hell should I tell you!" It screamed at her, and looked at her with vigilance, as if it was looking at a bad guy.

But for Seth, these human cubs were originally bad guys. Before it was called Seth, it was still a real stray cat (Damian never adopted it, he just adopted it. name, prepared shelter and food), they destroyed its house, knocked over its food, and threw its children into the water... these made it angry.

It wants to save its children and teach those human cubs some lessons, but as a cat, a cat that has no ability or even the ability to protect itself, it can only watch its children being killed. Submerged at the bottom of the sea, watching the human cubs grabbing its tail playfully, laughter rang in its ears, sounding like the whispers of some demon.

The torture didn't end until their parents called them to eat. It lay dying on the ground. People walked by it and looked at it with frowns, as if they were looking at garbage. The sun shines through the clouds on the sea, making everything look so leisurely and calm.

"Are you injured?" A voice suddenly sounded after I don't know how long I walked. It came from a human cub. He frowned and looked at it. It was more like he was asking than asking. State a fact.

This moment made Seth alert. It looked at him as if it was attacking, and made a warning "hiss" sound from its throat. It was warning him to stay away.

But the human cub still reached out to it as if he hadn't seen its warning. This made Seth panic. It stretched out its claws and scratched his arm. Blood seeped out from the wound, and the smell of blood quickly began to fill the air.

It thought this was enough to teach him a lesson, but the human cub didn't make any moves. He just kept doing this until another human arrived.

He looked at them with an exaggerated expression when he saw them, shouting "You are bleeding now, little D!"

and the human cub looked back impatiently after hearing his words. He, "I know, Grayson," it heard him say.

But none of this has anything to do with it. It just wants to find a place to rest. The pain and exhaustion coming from its body makes it feel that it can sleep immediately if it is not because these two humans are still here.

But the two humans didn't think so, especially the human named Grayson, who forcibly took it to the hospital despite its resistance. Even if he is scratched, he is not willing to let go.

He put it in a cage, and the unfamiliar environment and the unknown thing it was forced to wear around its neck kept it alert at all times.

It refused to eat the food and water they prepared for it, and always had to see some blood when they gave it medicine. It rarely sleeps, opening its eyes as soon as it hears someone approaching it, and not closing them again until they leave.

It can feel that it is getting weaker and weaker. Because it has not eaten for a long time, it has become less and less willing to move. Even when the humans caught it out, it no longer resisted as fiercely as before

.

It knew it was going to die, and creatures always have a premonition of their own death, and this also led to the fact that when the human cub - it heard his family calling him Damian - appeared in front of the cage, it was just upset. She opened her eyes and glanced at him.

It didn't know why he was here, and it didn't care. It no longer has the energy to think about those things.

"You will die if you don't eat." Damian said suddenly, his tone was very calm. He did not feel unwilling or sad that the animal he had finally rescued was about to die. He just stood here and watched. She looked at the thin body lying on the blanket breathing, "Grayson said we can give you glucose to help you survive, but I won't do it." "I

will prepare food for you, if you can survive Go down, then when you get better, I will help you teach those who bullied you. If you do not survive, then I will treat it as if I have not saved you." Damian continued, he opened the cage and put the food in Place it in front of it.

Seth could see the bandages on his arms. The wound it scratched that time was really a bit deep, but this time it didn't do anything. It just stood up shakily from the blanket after he left and walked to the food. The smell made it feel hungry. A strong desire for survival and hatred burst out from the soul, causing it to eat the food with great gulps.

It doesn't want to die yet, it still has to teach those who killed its children some lessons...

"Well... because I want to go talk to him about changing food for the birds." Just when Seth recalled Mia said suddenly. She looked at it carefully, and the birds flew from her body to the ground. They told it in a cheerful tone, "Yes, Miss Tamer is going to have sex with the Wayne family's youngest son." Regarding the food issue, if you are tired of eating that food, you can also talk to Miss Tamer!"

"Animal Tamer?" Seth looked at Mia with doubtful eyes, but soon his doubts It turned into disdain, "Human cubs cannot go to work." It continued.

"But Miss Tamer is not a human cub, she is Miss Tamer." The bird retorted.

This made Set sigh, and it looked at them impatiently, "I heard him say before that he was going to see the Bat Cow." It said.
