Next, we will bring you the life of Harold King Philby, the legendary life of an MI6 double agent...

With a click, the radio made a waiting sound of Zi La. Merkel, who was cleaning the table with a duster, turned to Schiller who was reading the newspaper at the table and said, Sir, it's time for Gotham morning news. Can you switch channels for me?

Schiller turned a page of the newspaper and said without raising his head, Okay, by the way, turn up the volume a bit, I can't hear you well.

After the radio was turned on again, the voice of the familiar hostess of Gotham Morning News came from inside:

Mayor Brown went to Green Street at 6 o'clock this morning to inspect and paid deep attention to the snowstorm and the traffic problems caused by the snowstorm there. He said that even the poorest and most chaotic East End, and even the densely populated living hell, should not Abandoned...

Traffic issues have always been the focus of his governance of the city. In the past few months, his work has achieved remarkable results. Although this snowstorm has added another heavy burden to Gotham's traffic, no disaster can bring down the strong citizens of Gotham. ...

Seeing that Schiller was flipping through the newspaper faster and faster, Merkel turned the button on the radio with her hand again, and the voice of another male host came from inside.

City News, recently, the law and order situation in the metropolis has been questioned, the murderer of the new serial murder case has no trace, and the work efficiency of the Metropolitan Police Department has been criticized...

The Chief of the Police Department stated that during his 23 years in office, the law and order situation in the metropolitan area has been very good. The Police Department will definitely do its best to solve this case in the shortest possible time...

The murderer's method in this serial murder case is extremely cruel, killing many people in a short period of time, including several important staff members of the mayor...

The murderer's methods are sophisticated, and the murder process is extremely cruel. So far, there are six victims...

Seeing Schiller's hands slowly turning over the newspaper, Merkel stopped cleaning the table, turned around and turned up the volume of the radio, but in the end, a burst of pleasant music came from this channel, and then, Another host's voice sounded:

Insert an emergency communication. Due to the unfavorable weather conditions in major cities on the east coast, the new mayor of the Metropolitan City, Mr. White, will hold a disaster relief charity dinner at the mayor's mansion at 9 o'clock tonight...

This dinner will invite celebrities from major cities on the east coast to participate. I hope they can use their fame to bring new hope to ordinary people in the cities on the east coast...

Mr. Mayor said that this is just a sense of social responsibility that a qualified mayor should have. Whether it is a metropolis or other east coast cities, darkness is temporary, and light will eventually come...

Merkel observed Schiller's expression, walked to the radio, turned off the radio, Schiller closed the newspaper in his hand, folded it and put it aside.

Merkel walked over, put away the newspaper, and Schiller picked up the cutlery and started eating, as if not interested in the news that had just been broadcast on the radio. As the meal drew to a close, he began his daily chat:

Schiller asked Merkel: Are you from London?

No, sir, my hometown is Birmingham, but when I was in high school my parents came to work in London and we settled there.

Did you go to secondary school in London?

I studied in Birmingham for a year and then went to London.

How is your grade? It should be very good, right?

Merkel smiled modestly. He said, It's actually not bad, but it's not at the forefront. Compared with my peers, I don't have much talent, I don't know musical instruments, and I don't know much about Latin.

Did you go to grammar school?

Yes, but the children in grammar schools are quite versatile now, and I really don't have much artistic talent...

When we were talking about this, the mailbox downstairs rang again. Schiller frowned, Merkel turned around, walked to the window, and saw a newsboy waiting next to the mailbox.

After Merkel walked downstairs, she was carrying another brown paper bag in her hand, which contained freshly baked lye bread. Merkel handed the brown paper bag to the newsboy, who stuffed it into his arms again, and then handed it directly to Merkel. A letter from Kerr.

This was the first time that Merkel had access to Schiller's personal letters during his work. He looked at the wax seal on it and found it was a sign he did not recognize.

A few minutes later, Schiller sat on the table in his study and opened the letter with a letter opener. He slowly opened the wax seal with the letter opener, and after opening the envelope, there was a very common old-fashioned letter paper inside. wrote:

Dear Professor Schiller Rodriguez, I would like to congratulate you on hearing that your recent academic achievements have been commended.

We sincerely invite you to participate in a charity dinner about joint disaster relief in east coast cities...

Schiller frowned, looking at the words above, and when his eyes fell on the signature column, his frown deepened.

Slowly folding the letter paper, Schiller seemed to be thinking about something. Merkel, who was waiting aside, heard Schiller speak slowly: What are the transportation methods that can go to the metropolis now?

Merkel paused for a moment, as if he hadn't considered this issue. He slightly turned his head to look at the snow field outside the window, and said, I'm afraid that any means of transportation that travel on the ground will fail.

Seeing Schiller's frown, Merkel lowered her head and said, I'll contact the helicopter company right away...

Such morning chats often happen in English-style manors, and Wayne Manor is no exception. When Selena stepped into the manor wearing a thick woolen coat, the fireplace was already burning, and the old housekeeper took her coat , hanging on the hanger, Selena stroked her hair lightly, and said:

The road conditions are terrible, right? I heard that Gotham is not the only one affected by this snowstorm. Several cities on the east coast have not escaped. Of course, the cities in the south are better, but they also ushered in A cold snap I haven't seen in decades.

Yes, Master Bruce is already planning to go to a certain charity dinner, and he should invite you to be his female companion later.

Oh? Selena's eyes widened in surprise. As she walked in, she looked at Alfred next to her and said, Then how should I respond? I have never received such an invitation.

You just have to express your sympathy for ordinary citizens and say you'd be more than happy to go.

Okay. Selena put her long hair behind her ears and said nervously, When is the charity party? What kind of image should I attend? What should I say?

Alfred led Selena to the dining table. Bruce, who hadn't slept all night, didn't look tired, but Dick looked a little confused. Selena saw that a stranger was also sitting At the dining table, she nodded to the other party, then looked at Bruce and asked, Why don't you introduce me?

This is Hal.

After finishing speaking, Bruce was silent again, and Hal could only introduce himself: Hello, my name is Hal Jordan... No, I am not related to that star, and I cannot get his autograph...

Selena showed a look of disappointment. After she finished speaking, she looked at Dick who was covered in green light. Dick shrugged and said to her: It's very complicated, and it's hard to explain it to you. Anyway, I'm as green as Christmas now. The spirit is the same.

Seeing Dick's dejected face, Selena couldn't help laughing. She hugged Elsa next to her and fed her. After a while, Bruce finally said:

There is a charity dinner for East Coast Disaster Relief at the Metropolis tonight. I need to attend. I hope you can be my girlfriend, how about it?

Selena straightened her back and moved her neck, but she still didn't say those hypocritical expressions of sympathy, she just said: Okay, of course, but I don't know what to do...

Later, the clothing consultant I booked will come to your door and customize a dress and jewelry for you.

After the dinner starts, you just need to walk into the banquet hall with me, and then you don't have to do anything. If someone comes to chat with you, you will repeat how terrible this disaster is and how many ordinary people it has affected. You feel very sympathetic. That's it.

Selena sighed. In the past few months, she has accompanied Bruce to some parties. Most of the time, she has to wear a smirk that makes her face muscles stiff, and she is with those ladies and ladies. Chatting, listening to them praise their gorgeous dresses and expensive jewelry, God knows how much she wants to pick the gems off their necklaces...

After finishing speaking, Bruce turned to look at Dick again. Dick scratched his head and said, I feel better now. I admit, I was a little scared when my body started to glow at first...

However, after I calmed down, this power seemed to calm down. At least during the few hours I slept, it didn't take me to teleport again.

I think you can try to maintain this state until all the energy of the green light is exhausted. Hal said, Don't worry, during this period, I will keep watching you.

Dick stretched out his hand, looked at the ring and said, I'll give it back to you when the time comes, it's such an ugly ring.

After dinner, the clothing consultant appointed by Bruce arrived as scheduled. While displaying various skirts in the center of the living room, Selena asked, Bruce, before I came this morning, I heard an entrepreneur's speech on the radio. name, seems to be the biggest entrepreneur in the metropolis...

The host said he is the most famous philanthropist, is that true?

Bruce was sitting on the sofa with an envelope in his hand. He opened the envelope, looked at the letter in his hand, and said without raising his head: You can change the word 'charity' in what he said to 'tax avoidance'. '.

Selena shook her head, as if she didn't understand Bruce's meaning. Bruce frowned, and he looked at the letter paper in his hand. There was a familiar name on the signature - Lionel Luthor .
