American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 288 Bruce Butler

At night, in the restaurant of Wayne Manor, the lights were soft and the atmosphere was warm. At the table, Xiao Xian, Harley and Selina were enjoying dinner happily. The three of them were chatting and laughing happily from time to time.

Bruce changed into the butler's attire, standing aside, serving them tea and wine attentively. Complex emotions surged in his heart, shame and excitement intertwined, making him feel an indescribable satisfaction.

While eating, Harley deliberately found fault and said contemptuously: "Bruce, you pour the tea too slowly. You can't do that. How can you protect the environment if you do that?"

Bruce bowed slightly and responded respectfully, "I'm sorry, Ms. Euclewood, I'll take care of that."

Selina smiled at Bruce with a mischievous gleam in her eyes. She said softly, "Honey, you did a good job today. Keep up the good work."

Bruce's heart trembled, and he felt a secret excitement. He nodded and continued to focus on his service.

Xiao Xian also said approvingly, "Mr. Wayne, your service is really great, just like a real butler."

Bruce smiled confidently and said modestly: "This is what I should do."

Selina smiled slightly and reminded: "Abin, it is not appropriate to call him Mr. Wayne now."

Xiao Xian understood what he said, nodded, turned to Bruce and said, "Then Bruce, remember to wash the dishes later, don't think about asking the maid to do it for you."

Bruce nodded, and the strange excitement in his heart became stronger. He knew that his current role was no longer the owner of the manor who had the final say, but a real butler, serving Selina and Xiao Xian.

"Okay, Abin, I'll wash the dishes myself." Bruce responded respectfully.

Harley laughed and taunted, "Still in person now? Huh? Bruce?"

Bruce's heart beat faster when he heard this. Why didn't he notice that Harley's heart beat like this before? But Bruce thought Harley was pretty nice with this.

"I understand. I will wash the dishes for Abin myself." Bruce
"I understand. I'll wash the dishes myself for... Mr. Abin," Bruce corrected himself, his tone more respectful.

Harley nodded with satisfaction. She had disliked Bruce for a long time, and now she finally had the chance to retaliate: "That's right, Bruce. You have to understand your role and responsibilities now."

After the three of them finished eating, Bruce cleared the tableware, walked to the kitchen, and began to wash the dishes carefully.

Bruce stood in front of the sink, dishes in his hands, washing them carefully.

At this moment, a maid who was cleaning walked into the kitchen and saw Bruce washing dishes. She opened her eyes wide in surprise. She quickly stepped forward and said politely, "Mr. Wayne, we servants can do this kind of work. You don't have to do it yourself."

Bruce looked back at her and shook his head: "No need, I can wash it myself." The remaining shame in his heart prevented Bruce from saying that washing the dishes was a task assigned by Xiao Xian and Selina.

The maid seemed a little confused, but nodded and started cleaning the kitchen. She glanced at Bruce with curiosity from time to time, as if she didn't quite understand why the owner of the manor would do such a job himself.

Could it be that the rumor that has been circulating in the manor recently is true? But that is a bit too far-fetched.

Bruce continued to wash the dishes. Being watched by the maid, the strange excitement in Bruce's heart became stronger. On the other side, in the dim bedroom, Xiao Xian sat on the bed, holding Harley in one hand and Selina in the other. The three of them were concentrating on watching the floating three-dimensional projection in front of them - Bruce was working hard to wash the dishes in the kitchen.

Harry looked at Bruce in the projection, with a hint of sarcasm on her face, and asked, "Bruce has become like this. Has he completely fallen? Can I whip him?"

Xiao Xian shook his head, with a thoughtful look in his eyes: "No, if it was anyone else, even any other superhero, they would have fallen long ago. But Bruce's situation is special. He hasn't completely fallen yet, but it should only be a matter of time."

Selina nodded and said, "Bruce's willpower is indeed unmatched by ordinary people. He has extraordinary self-discipline and determination."

Hearing this, Xiao Xian touched his chin and said, "It seems that we have to add fuel to the fire."

In the evening, after Bruce finished washing the dishes, he returned to the bedroom. He pushed open the door and just as he stepped in, he heard Selina coldly ask, "Hubby, what are you doing here so late?"

Bruce was stunned for a moment, and answered somewhat at a loss: "I'll come back to sleep."

Selina smiled coldly, with mockery in her eyes: "Do you think you are still qualified to sleep in the master bedroom now? This is for the owner of the manor."

Bruce's excitement grew stronger when he heard this. He suppressed his excitement and asked cooperatively, "My dear wife, where should I sleep from now on?"

Selina sneered, her eyes sharp: "I originally wanted you to sleep in Abin's original room. After all, Abin will sleep here in the future, and that room will not be needed. But think about it carefully, you are not qualified to sleep in Abin's room."

Bruce was even more excited by Selina's words. He couldn't help but ask, "My dear wife, where do you think I should sleep?"

Selina glanced at Bruce, with a hint of sarcasm on her face:

"I originally wanted to let you sleep in an ordinary servant's room, but considering our relationship as husband and wife, let's do this. From now on, you will live in the closet in your room."

Bruce was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly said, "Thank you, my wife."

Selina nodded with satisfaction, then turned and walked to the bedside and said to Bruce, "Then go prepare your new 'room', husband."

Bruce nodded in agreement, quickly walked to the closet, and began to organize the space inside. He knew that from now on, this small space would become his home. But as Batman, it should be said that he was quite used to such dark places. After all, the closet in Bruce's bedroom was much more spacious than that in Xiao Xian's bedroom.

Selina stood aside, watching Bruce excitedly organizing his closet, and asked softly, "Honey, do you like living in the closet?"

Bruce replied "Yes, my lady, I love living here."

Selina smiled mockingly and shook her head slightly: "Bats just like dark places. Batman is also suitable to live in a dark closet."

Bruce, who was scolded, was surprised to find that he was not angry at all this time. Instead, he just felt happy. He began to realize that the situation was a little bad, but it also felt good.
