Starting from scratch, Batman crushed my dream of getting rich

Chapter 622 A Sudden Consensus Reached
As it turns out, fate is something you can't escape.

When Jason peeked out from Solomon's back, when the thugs pointed their weapons at Grandy, and when the two Batmen on the rooftop saw this scene—a sense of absurdity rose simultaneously in the hearts of both Mazhaodi and Arkham Batman.

"Jason."

Memories flooded back, and Arkham Batman's mind went blank for a full second. For so many years, this name had haunted him like a nightmare, haunting every midnight hour and tormenting his spirit.

Jason is less like his former Robin and more like his former child.

The lonely boy grew up alone in Gotham, but he was incredibly intelligent and exceptionally talented—few people could manually remove the almost solid Batmobile tires with a tire lever, but this kid could do it.

Arkham Batman remembers laughing out loud, thinking, "It must have taken a lot of effort to get two wheels off the Batmobile."

When did the word "smile" become a luxury for me? When did I start to become a gloomy, unsmiling bat?
He couldn't remember that.

He waited by the car for a short while before a curious little boy ran back to the Batmobile with a tire-prying stick—yes, he even planned to steal it a second time and take the remaining two wheels home as well.

When he was asking for the tire back, the kid even attacked himself with a tire-removing stick, hitting himself twice before running away quickly.

This is definitely the highlight of this kid's life.

This might not be a great first encounter for a vigilante and a thief, but for Arkham Batman and Jason of Arkham, it's a memory they'll never forget.

“If you send me back to the social workers, at my age, I probably won’t find any families willing to adopt me,” Jason later told him.

It was from that moment that Batman decided to raise this lonely, single-parent boy into a Robin.

The hot-tempered and impatient teenager suddenly gained a mentor, an object of admiration, and a teacher. Perhaps, for him, he also gained a family member and a father.

As for Arkham Batman...
“I wish Jason had never met me in his life.”

The joy of gaining a child is matched by the regret of losing it.

"Jason!"

Without hesitation, the young Batman beside him leaped off the rooftop and swooped down towards the thugs on the street. His cape transformed into bat wings, spreading out in the rainy night, covering the sky like an endless, oppressive cloud, enveloping the thugs.

"Batman!"

Batman?!

"Batman!"

The first sound was the scream of the thug who was knocked to the ground by a punch; the second sound was Jason's joyful cheer; and the third sound was the desperate cry of Ma Zhaodi, who arrived late at the time.

"Solomon, take Jason away from the battlefield—Old Ma, protect them."

Batman's black figure flickered among the armed thugs, appearing and disappearing like a ghost, accompanied by the screams and wails of the others.

Whether as Bruce Wayne or Batman, he loved the kids in Gotham City, and he felt a special connection with Jason, the kid king.

Although Old Ma had repeatedly instructed him to absolutely guarantee that Jason would stay away from supervillains and superheroes, and even asked him to stay away from Jason himself, he still needed to interact with the children from time to time because he was in charge of security, education, and welfare facility reconstruction for the orphanage. He had a very good relationship with Jason.

In his view, this was a rare moment of rest. In fact, Jason had shown his admiration for Batman more than once in the orphanage—which was normal, since he was a mischievous kid himself. Therefore, a mysterious, righteous, maverick, and somewhat ruthless superhero who was supposedly connected to Ma Zhaodi would naturally attract his attention.

Come on, a superhero who can terrify criminals, break their bones, and never show his face is just so cool, right?

Jason was staring intently at the black figure who was unleashing his fury in the mob army. His eyes were practically sparkling with excitement; even a blind man could see it.

"Batman, you deserve to die!"

Ma Zhaodi, who had just arrived at the scene, gritted his teeth. He didn't really remember Jason's original fate as Robin very clearly, but he was certain of one thing: the Robin in Batman basically lived a life of hardship, and being resurrected and turning into a villain were all standard practice—the impact of this on teenagers was immeasurable.

"If you can be a proper orphan, who the hell would be so bored as to become Robin for you?" he thought to himself. "Batman is a lunatic. He can find helpers all he wants, but don't come and wreak havoc on my orphanage."

However, it was too late to say anything now. Jason was watching intently from the side, and Ma Zhaodi could almost imagine that he would be easily kidnapped by the big bat, put on Robin's uniform, and begin his miserable life as a vigilante.

"Jason, come back here! Stay away from that bat lunatic!" He immediately reached out to grab Grandy: "Stop looking, getting close to Batman will bring misfortune!"

"But Old Ma, he's so handsome."

"You heartless bastard! Don't I look cool when I cook? Learning cooking or car repair from me is better than learning to fight from Batman!"

While the two were still arguing, Arkham Batman also moved. He took a deep look at Jason, who was still a teenager, and then bent down and rushed into the crowd.

The thugs, who were originally screaming in agony, have now evolved into howling ghosts and wolves. The two Batmen, in a state of stress, are now extremely cruel and ruthless. The team, which couldn't even handle a single Batman before, is now about to enjoy double the fun.

Hilarious! His finger was snapped off before he could even put it on the trigger.

At this moment, the attic door was finally opened, and a large number of thugs filed out, pointing their guns at the two Batmen, but then quickly lowering them.

"Shoot! I told you to shoot! Shoot the hell out of here!"

The captain gave his final command amidst screams.

"Captain, you might hit your own people."

"Hit that kid and that monster over there, use them to threaten Batman into stopping!"

"Roger that!"

So the group immediately turned their guns on Jason, who was standing nearby.

"Batman! Stop! Or we'll kill that kid!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene fell into an eerie silence.

Ma Zhaodi, Batman, and Arkham Batman all turned their heads simultaneously, their eerie gazes fixed on the team leader.

"court death?"
