Chapter 74 Young man, you are a little bit arrogant

Amidst loud laughter, Donton stuffed the last piece of steak into his mouth.

Then he picked up the plate and went to the cleaning station, washing it.

Seeing that Downton actually took the initiative to wash the dishes, Alfred's Adam's apple made a gurgling sound.

"Uh."

He just said with a gloomy brow.

"Don't make such jokes, Mr. Downton. After all, this is the ancestral property of the Wayne family."

"What? What did you say? Am I kidding?"

As he put down the plate, Donton turned his head and glanced at Ah Fu.

"Afu, do you think I'm a jokester?
Yes, you guessed it right, I do like to joke, and a good man should have a good sense of humor.

But as a steward, I think you need to distinguish between what is a joke and what is a real decision."

At this point, Donton changed his previous laughing expression and turned into a gloomy face.

He put his hand on Ah Fu's shoulder seriously, put his arm around Ah Fu and walked out of the kitchen.

As they walked, Donton continued.

“You know, I have very good hearing and a very good sense of smell.

After walking into this house, I quickly found the smell of you and Bruce Wayne.

Of course, there were the odors of other servants who occasionally came in and out to clean, but their odors were light and fleeting.

But guess what I discovered, haha, Bruce Wayne's taste is actually not very strong either!"

Just as Donton said this, the shoulder he was holding suddenly stopped.

After a moment, Alfred explained naturally.

"Mr. Downton, Bruce is a young man, and he also has his own nightlife, so..."

"stop!"

Donton suddenly interrupted Ah Fu and patted him on the shoulder.

“No need to explain, Ah Fu, because my senses are more effective than your explanations.

After I really confirmed the smell of Bruce Wayne, I suddenly found that this smell was unexpectedly familiar!

This smell seems to have appeared near me many times. Yes, I just smelled this smell!

so……"

Donton just grinned and spoke to Alfred with ill intention.

"So Ah Fu, your young Master Wayne lives with me at night?
It's okay that his scent appears near the Iceberg Club, after all, there are prostitutes everywhere there.

Although I don't think Young Master Wayne would be attracted by that kind of ugly girl, who knows if your young master is challenging his aesthetic limits or if he has unique hobbies?

If the Iceberg Club was just a coincidence, then why was there a smell of Bruce in the crowd when I was stuck in traffic at the Met? Was he also there watching the cheerleaders' open-air performance?

Besides that, when I was killing people in Wayne Tower, was your young master flirting with the receptionist of your Wayne Group?

What a joke! When his scent was closest to me, it was almost seventy or eighty meters away from me!

A coincidence isn't a coincidence if it happens twice, Afu!
Are you sure Bruce is trying to pick up girls?

He's obviously trying to pick me up!"

After he finished speaking, Donton laughed and patted Alfu's butt again.

Ah Fu's body stiffened, not quite used to it, but Donton continued speaking at just the right moment.

"Wait, don't move, I seem to hear some sound!"

As he spoke, Donton tilted his ear slightly and then smiled with satisfaction.

"That's right, haha, I really didn't hear it wrong. There are secret passages and huge natural caves under my Downton Abbey! Let me listen carefully again. If I heard it right, your young master is climbing a big rope. It seems that you haven't carried out modern development of the underground space. It's a pity.

Come on, let's go to the secret passage and give Master Wayne a little surprise, and by the way, announce to him that I'm moving into Downton Abbey and that you'll be working under me as a butler.

Let's make a bet, Alfu.

Do you think he felt like he had lost a house and a housekeeper, or like he had lost his crib and his dad?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Downton dragged Alfu, whose body was completely stiff, and rushed into Bruce Wayne's study.

At the same time, Bruce was running desperately in the cave, then climbed up the safety rope he left behind and entered the secret passage that the Wayne family used to smuggle slaves.

There were several entrances and exits to this secret passage, but Bruce went straight to the one that led to the study.

He didn't know that his beloved Mi Mi had been stripped naked by Downton, and now he was planning to sneak back to the bedroom, cooperate with Alfred's actions, and pretend that he had never left home.

So, two minutes later.

When Bruce pushed open the heavy door of the secret passage, he saw Downton sitting at his desk, smiling as he flipped through the books that he and his father had read!

At this moment, Bruce's brows furrowed suddenly, and his eyes looked at Alfred who was looking frustrated.

Noticing Bruce's look, Donton grinned and threw the tome aside.

He just patted the table lightly, smiled and growled at Bruce.

"You're so damn brave, you actually dared to break into my manor!"

As he spoke, Downton waved to Alfred.

"Ah Fu, my best butler, how do you think I should deal with this guy who breaks into a private house?"

"I think we should let him go. After all, he is still young. Every young person should have a chance to be tolerated at least once."

Alfred responded helplessly and waved at Bruce.

Watching Alfu's actions, Bruce swallowed hard and took a deep breath.

After he let out this breath, he spoke to Donton with a calm look.

"If I remember correctly, this seems to be my home, you..."

"You remembered wrong!"

Donton suddenly stood up and interrupted Bruce.

He lightly flipped over the desk and came in front of Bruce in a blink of an eye.

Looking at the approaching Downton, every muscle in Bruce's body tensed up.

But Donton didn't attack him. Instead, he came up to him and picked up his hobo suit.

"Tsk tsk, Alfu, I found another thing Bruce and I have in common, we both don't really care about what we wear.

Look at me, my pants were taken off a corpse, and my clothes were given to me by women who were gigolos. I was also barefoot because my shoes were broken, and I don’t like wearing shoes that have been used by others. After all, athlete’s foot is much more powerful than a bullet.

Then look at Bruce. His coat is at least ten years old, and his pants are also the sharp style with fur-edged edges that a homeless man must have.

As for the shoes, I really don’t know how he managed to climb all the way out of the underground cave with a pair of boots with half the soles rotted away.”

Having said that, Downton jokingly reached out his hand and wanted to pat Bruce on the head.

Although Bruce had already come up with the idea of ​​becoming the Dark Knight at this time, he had not yet put the idea into practice, and he had not had time to construct and distinguish his dual identities.

So he had no intention of concealing his skills. The moment Donton's hand approached him, he quickly dodged Donton's hand.

After taking a step back, Bruce stood still again and looked silently into Downton's eyes.

Facing Bruce's gaze, Donton withdrew his hand with a smile and continued.

"I just wanted to compare our heights, but you didn't even allow me to do that. Young man, you are a bit arrogant!"
