Gotham City, Wayne No. 3 Manor.
After experiencing this turmoil, the Court of Owl's vitality was greatly injured, and it finally stopped. For several days, it was calm, and nothing happened again. And Bruce Wayne finally showed up on the third day after the incident. At this time, Wayne Group's share price had fallen by more than 17.9%. Rumors were flying everywhere, and the outside world was not optimistic about his hope of survival.
And Jude, everyone stayed in the manor with peace of mind, enjoying the leisurely days regardless of external disturbances. Just when major investment companies, Wall Street funds, and retail investors fled, Bruce Wayne and Damian Wayne made their high-profile appearances and held a press conference to clarify the facts. They said that they were just going to enjoy an undisturbed life at sea. They were not dead, as speculated by the outside world. The management of Wayne Group is also stable as always; please don't listen to the rumors and rhetoric.
The appearance of the father and son is equivalent to that of Dinghai Shenzhen. The Wayne Group, which was on the verge of collapse, instantly stabilized, and the stock price soared back to its original position on the same day. This is more than that. Bruce Wayne also publicly expressed his support for the Gotham Police Department's investigation of more than a dozen families involved in the case. At the same time, he announced that he had acquired some shares of these companies and clamored for justice and equality before the law.
This move not only gave Sheriff Gordon's support and relieved the huge pressure on the old friend, but also brought up the forcibly suppressed hot spot again. Wayne Group's stock price soared by 9.3% the next day, surpassing Stark Group, whose share price has soared because of breakthroughs in the new energy sector.
"Hoo...ha..." Jude rubbed his sore knee, panting heavily, his clothes drenched with sweat. "Very good; in just a few days, your progress is beyond my imagination." Bruce calmed down his chaotic breath and exclaimed.
"Hey, as I said a long time ago, don't use common sense to guess my genius; my brain is filled with endless memories, which not only include science but also fights."
"Uh huh, Herbert, you always speak in this tone. We all know that you are a genius, but there is no need to always use it."
"Yes, you still yelled on the roof of the Wayne Building, girl." Stephanie blushed, and she knew Jude's temper; she knew that this guy must not hold back any kind words. She glared at him and turned away.
That's right, Jude and the Bat-family have been idle these days, so it was natural that Bruce Wayne fulfilled another promise he had made and came to him as a sparring partner. Although his grandfather gave him a very strong fighting memory, Jude did not directly use it in actual combat. One is that his physical fitness cannot keep up, and the other is that his opponent is not easy to mess with. A slight mistake is a fatal injury. Training and actual combat cannot be confused.
In the past few days, in the battle with members of the Bat-family, those fighting memories have begun to activate, and Jude has become more and more comfortable in hand-to-hand combat. To this day, he has been able to fight Bruce Wayne back and forth. In terms of fighting skills, Batman is ranked in the top position in the comic world, and few people can beat him.
The reason Jude was inferior was only because his physical fitness could not keep up. If he and Bruce Wayne had the same physique beyond the limits of the human body, I believe that the two are at least 50-50.
After finishing the training and washing off the sweat from his body, Jude walked onto the balcony with a few bottles of wine, lay on the beach chair, put on his sunglasses, and enjoyed the sunbath.
It's a pity that the pleasant time hasn't passed for long. A breath has been sprayed on his face. The smell is very familiar; it is ivy.
He opened his eyes and saw Ivy's melancholy face. Jude pulled his sunglasses down, frowning, and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you upset again?"
Ivy sat down on his lap, picked up the wine bottle, and took a big mouthful. Her cheeks flushed immediately.
Jude stretched out his hand and snatched the bottle. "Little girl, this is strong wine; you can't drink it."
"My sister has come. Of course, it's my sister."
"What do you mean? Are you a riddler?"
Ivy took out her mobile phone and opened the call log page. There were more than a dozen calls from the same person.
Jude glanced at her and said, "A string of numbers, where's the name?"
"Her name is Pepper Potts, and she said she is my half-sister. She called yesterday, but I don't even know her."
Hearing the name Pepper Potts, the face of Pepper flashed in Jude's mind. If it were in other words, he would suspect that it was someone else, but this name is almost unique in the Marvel world. The Only secretary and wife of Iron Man, Tony Stark.
Of course, there is no doubt that she is an assistant secretary, but the wife I'm not sure.
According to the plot of the movie, Pepper and Stark get married and give birth to a lovely daughter. However according to the plot of the MCU, in one of the universes, Pepper married Stark's bodyguard, Happy, but she couldn't connect with Stark during the marriage so she got divorced and did it again.
Jude can only sigh with emotion.
But he also found a blind spot: "Her name is Pepperpots, and your name is Ivy Pepper. Your surnames are different. How come you became sisters?"
Ivy took another sip of wine immediately and said bitterly, "Of course, I must blame that man, that is, my father."
"I was still in the stomach at the time, but he abandoned my mother, abandoned the responsibility of a man; no one knows where he went."
"I didn't understand the reason until my half-sister contacted me. It turned out that my so-called father was afraid of being found, so he changed his surname to Potts."
"Well, it's a pretty Fucking story, so why are you looking for me again?"
"Because that man is dying, it may be that death has awakened the last trace of his conscience. He wants to see me before dying to see what the life of this abandoned daughter is like."
Jude sighed. Honest officials can hardly break housework. In this kind of family ethics story, he can't say anything; he can only ask.
"What's your opinion? Ivy."
Ivy shook her head. "I don't know; I'm in a mess. He hasn't listened to me for 20 years. I hate that bastard, but I want to see him again. Of course, I don't want to forgive him, but I want to see. His tragic look before he died."
"Um, I understand. Then don't hesitate; I'll accompany you to New York. Anyway, Gotham is also annoying, so I want to go to New York to relax."
