Eudemons Qinglong in American manga

Chapter 240 Armless Master, Trust Fund

On the surface, Selina and Maggie are a pair of very good girlfriends.

But after getting in touch with it, Roy found that things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface.

Selina and Maggie act more like mother and daughter than girlfriends.

Selina is a mature and stable mother, while Maggie is an innocent and naive daughter.

If it weren't for Selina and Maggie being the same age, the way they get along, it would be really easy for people to misunderstand that they are mother and daughter.

After hearing Roy's question, Selina fell silent.

Then, he drank the whiskey in the glass in one gulp.

After a few seconds, she said slowly:
"Maggie and I have known each other for a long time."

"To be precise, we met when we were still in the orphanage."

"Because no family was willing to adopt the two of us, we escaped from the orphanage together when we were 13 years old."

"After leaving the orphanage, Maggie and I planned to support ourselves, but as you can see, Gotham is not a city where people can realize their dreams, let alone two little girls with little ability."

"To survive, Maggie and I started stealing."

"In the beginning, we just did petty theft, and the money we stole was enough to maintain our daily life."

"Later, some gangsters came to us and wanted us to join the gang and help them make money."

"Of course Maggie and I won't agree, but we don't have much ability to resist."

"That was the first time we planned to leave Gotham."

"But we underestimated each other and before we could leave, we were caught."

"They were so angry that they planned to sell Maggie and me directly to pimps. At that moment, Master appeared."

Hearing this, a name quickly flashed through Roy's mind.

Armless Master!

In the DC universe, the Armless Master is not a well-known character, only appearing in Catwoman's personal comics.

Roy doesn't know much about the Armless Master, only that Catwoman learned martial arts under the guidance of the Armless Master.

"and after?"

Roy asked.

"Master, he rescued Maggie and me, and even planned to accept me as an apprentice, saying that I have great potential and I am very suitable to learn from him."

"At that time, I didn't agree to Master, because Master was only willing to take me out of Gotham alone."

"Later, it was Maggie who convinced me."

"Maggie told me that she will also leave Gotham and go to Metropolis, and we have made an appointment to meet again."

"I didn't think too much about it at the time, and left Gotham with Master."

"A few years later, I went back to Gotham and met Maggie."

"That's when I realized that Maggie has never left Gotham."

"After I left, she wandered among all kinds of men, found one boyfriend after another, and lived by these boyfriends."

"When I came back, I found out that she has been living very badly for the past few years."

"The boyfriends she made were all jerks."

"They didn't regard Maggie as a girlfriend at all, and they beat and abused Maggie whenever they were dissatisfied."

"Maggie also did many illegal things under their threat."

"On the day I found her, she was still being beaten by her so-called boyfriend."

"Just because she didn't steal enough money back, her boyfriend hit her like a sandbag."

"That day was the first time I killed someone..."

Having said that, Selina didn't continue talking.

However, she didn't need to continue talking.

If Roy still couldn't figure out why Selina took care of Maggie like a daughter after hearing this, then he would be too stupid.

To put it simply, Selina felt that Maggie's tragic experience was caused by herself.

In her opinion, if she hadn't left with the Armless Master, Maggie wouldn't have to rely on those men to live, and naturally she wouldn't have been abused and beaten by those men.

Although this is also the life Maggie chose, Selina still feels bad because she abandoned Maggie.

"this is not your fault."

"Maggie lied to you back then, hoping that you would have a better future."

"As for the things she experienced later, I can only say that this is her own choice, not caused by you."

Roy said slowly.

After Selina left with the Armless Master, Maggie did have a miserable life.

But that doesn't mean that's why Selina left.

In the final analysis, this is all Maggie's own choice.

"I know what you said, but I still can't forgive myself."

"If I had thought about it, I would have known that there was no way Maggie would go to the Met."

"I can't ask Master to take her away, but I can ask Master to take Maggie to the metropolis or other cities."

"Otherwise, I can leave with Master later and try my best to help Maggie arrange her future life."

"But I didn't. At that time, I didn't think of this at all, so I left the penniless Maggie alone in Gotham."

"I was the one who persuaded Maggie to escape from the orphanage. If it wasn't for me, Maggie would have stayed in the orphanage until she left."

"She could have stayed in the orphanage in peace, but I brought her out, so she needed to go through that."

"It's all my fault!"

"I'm too self-righteous, I overestimate myself!"

Selina said annoyedly.

Roy didn't continue to persuade Selina, ordered a bottle of whiskey with the bartender, and poured a glass for Selina and himself.

Then, he took out the bank card from his coat pocket and put it in front of Selina.

"The money inside is spiritual compensation from Carmine."

"This means that half of it is yours."

"I don't judge whether it's right or wrong for you to take care of Maggie like this, but from my point of view, it's impossible for you to shelter Maggie for the rest of your life."

"If I were you, I would help Maggie set up a trust fund and transfer a sum of money to Maggie every month as living funds."

"As for the future, Maggie's path should be decided by herself, not by you to take care of her all the time."

"This is my personal suggestion. Whether you want to do this and let Maggie start her life again is up to you."

Looking at the bank card in front of her, Selina thought quickly.

It's not that she didn't think about letting Maggie live alone, but she was still worried about Maggie.

She was afraid that without her own care, Maggie would experience the miserable life before.

Time passed little by little.

After Roy drank half a bottle of whiskey alone, Selina said slowly:

"I don't know much about trust funds."

"I don't understand either, but I know that professional matters should be handled by professionals."

"Although the law and order in Gotham is a bit poor, as long as the money is sufficient, it is not a problem to hire professionals in this field."

Roy said slowly.

After hearing Roy's words, Selina fell silent again.

After more than ten seconds, she continued:

"This is your suggestion, can I hand it over to you?"

"can."

Roy nodded back.

"Thank you!"

Selina said slowly.

"you are welcome."

While there was still time, Roy took Selina and left the hotel.

Trust funds may sound expensive, but at least they are not a hassle to deal with.

Just find a suitable trust company or law firm and entrust the matter to the other party.

In Gotham, to establish a stable and reliable trust fund, of course the trust company under the Wayne Group must be entrusted.

After finding the trust company under the Wayne Group, the next thing is very simple.

Make Maggie the beneficiary of the trust property, choose the trust term and trust purpose.

Sign a trust contract with the trust company, transfer personal property to the name of the trust company, set up a trust account, and entrust the account management right to the trust company.

The whole process didn't even take half an hour.

Because Roy is still a black household, Selina can only be the client.

As for the signing of the contract, of course it can only be signed by Selina.

After all these were processed, there were still more than 4000 million US dollars left in the bank card with a deposit of [-] million US dollars this morning.

Although it had shrunk by more than half, Roy didn't take it seriously at all.

Not only that, after leaving the trust company, he also transferred 4000 million from the remaining 2000 million US dollars to another bank card of Selina.

Selina was about to say no.

But considering that neither she nor Maggie had real estate under her name, she still accepted it.

The trust fund will only transfer tens of thousands of yuan to Maggie every month as living expenses.

The money is only enough to maintain Maggie's daily life.

If Maggie wants to have no worries at all, Selina needs to give Maggie a house at least.

Have a fixed residence and a stable source of income.

Only in this way can Maggie start her life again.

After returning to the hotel, Roy returned to the presidential suite alone.

As for what Selina wants to tell Maggie, that is Selina's own business.

time flies.

Night falls.

After finishing his practice, Roy picked up the phone in the bedroom and called Selina's number.

After dealing with the trust fund, Selina, who was in a good mood, asked him about his next arrangements.

Knowing that Roy was going to meet Batman tonight, Selina offered to go with him.

According to Selina, she has dealt with Batman before, and if she is there, she can ensure that the two of them will not fight as soon as they meet.

Although Roy didn't think it was a big deal to fight, he still agreed to Selina and decided to take Selina with him.

After the call was connected, Roy told Selina about the departure time.

Then, I called the room service number and asked the hotel to deliver the dinner to the room.

Ten p.m.

Roy and Selina, who was wearing a Catwoman uniform, left the hotel.

Roy originally planned to go directly to Wayne Manor to find Batman.

But after thinking about it, it's better to keep some secrets for Batman.

After all, Batman is very concerned about his true identity.

Gotham Police Station rooftop.

Roy turned on the projector lamp that Gordon used to summon Batman.
