Starting from scratch, Batman crushed my dream of getting rich

Chapter 83 Eat without saying a word
Ordering is a small matter, but the task is a big one.

Ma Zhaodi calmly handled Selina's order, while Bruce hardly spoke. Although it was not known whether Bruce was usually so taciturn, Ma Zhaodi certainly did not dare to ask, because she was afraid that Bruce would see that she knew his true identity.

As for whether Selina realized that he knew her identity, Ma Zhaodi had no idea, but it didn't matter even if she did. There was only one person in the entire Gotham City who loved to dig into things and make counter-plans for her teammates. Selina, on the other hand, basically acted based on her emotions.

Fortunately, all the good things were in place - this was a restaurant, it was Valentine's Day, and Bruce happened to be accompanied by a young woman who was quite interested in him.

Festivals have always been the best marketing opportunities.

"Madam, sir, your order has arrived. Please enjoy it."

After serving the dishes, Ma Zhaodi stood by on the side. At this time, Catwoman looked at Bruce beside her with a smile on her face and started to make trouble.

"Sir, I seem to have seen you somewhere before."

"Ma'am, I'm new to this restaurant, you might have remembered it wrongly—"

"No, no, I'm pretty sure it was red before"

"Ahem, sorry, ma'am." Ma Zhaodi interrupted Serena hastily. "The next dish you ordered will probably be ready soon. I'll go to the kitchen right away."

"I'll take my leave first."

If she told him about her experience working at Red Dragon, her undercover career at Maroni's would be over.

Fortunately, I covered it up by making a louder noise.

This playful Selena still shows a cat-like personality even when she is not working, but Ma Zhaodi is not a ball of yarn. He really doesn't want to be pulled apart. Single dogs also have human rights. There is no reason to be forced to stay in the scene of two people showing their affection and eat that dog food.

Besides, he wasn't hungry.

"What? Who's coming?"

When Maroni in the kitchen heard the news from the front hall, he was stunned. He threw down the newspaper, walked out of the kitchen to meet Master Wayne and Ms. Selina in person, and then was pushed back to the kitchen by two cold faces.

It was obvious that Maroni, who was doing very well in Gotham City, was not very well liked by these two. It could be seen that as the second largest underworld family in Gotham City, he seemed to suffer such grievances often. He got angry for a while, then picked up the newspaper and started flipping through it again.

There was no way. He didn't dare and didn't want to offend the playboy young master of the Wayne Group, and naturally he couldn't target his female companion at this time, so he could only use his usual ability to endure the anger when facing Falcone and sulk here alone.

Ma Zhaodi silently sympathized with Maroni in his heart, and then continued to serve the two of them, but he knew very well that directly taking out the chocolate to sell it would probably not work, so he had to find another way to get Bruce to eat it.

The atmosphere in the restaurant returned to normal after five minutes. After Maroni was rejected, those around him who wanted to climb up the social ladder and make friends with the Wayne family were not willing to try their luck. Seeing that Bruce didn't seem to want to be disturbed tonight, they decided to have a quiet meal and enjoy Valentine's Day.

This peaceful moment lasted until the end of the meal.

"Bruce, why haven't you said anything today?"

Seeing that she had been talking to Ma Zhaodi for a long time but Bruce had no reaction, Selina narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a cat-like sense of alienation. "Selina, I..."

Bruce always felt that something was wrong with him, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. He just felt that his brain seemed a little confused, but his body was very clear. He didn't want to say anything unnecessary, nor did he want to think about anything unnecessary. Except for the comfortable and addictive green in front of him, he had lost his usual interest in most things.

"I feel a little tired."

Seeing the dazed look on Bruce's face, the coldness in Selina's eyes disappeared again. She sighed and gently stroked Bruce's big hand. Although the other party did not show the possessiveness and jealousy he should have shown just now, it was indeed the first time she saw him look so weak.

Maybe he was really tired.

Thinking of how she had chased and danced with him in the snow in Gotham Cemetery, Selena curled her lips slightly and regarded that dance as his Valentine's Day gift to her. Although she was a little disappointed, she decided to let him go back and have a good rest.

"Well, Bruce, it's your loss. And remember, you owe me a perfect Valentine's Day."

Bruce nodded stiffly, his face showing no emotion.

"Ahem, Mr. Bruce, Ms. Serena, maybe the perfect Valentine's Day just lacks a delicious piece of chocolate?"

Selina and Bruce looked aside, and before they could see the waiter, they saw the white chocolate dessert in his hand.

"This is a dessert specially prepared for our VIP guests. It's called Snow Valentine's Day. Please enjoy it."

The rich aroma of milk and melted chocolate penetrated her nose. Looking at the dessert, Selena subconsciously touched her waist. Ever since she started working at night, she has been much stricter about managing her figure. If it were according to her original idea, a dessert like chocolate would definitely not be on the menu tonight.

But this dessert seems delicious.

Ma Zhaodi stood beside the two of them, looking at the slightly shaken expressions of Selina and Bruce, and couldn't help but reveal a proud smile on his face. With his advanced cooking skills, milk from the cube world, and the chocolate recipe bought from the mall, I don't believe you won't fall for it.

The chocolate recipe that has reached the asset point of three thousand dollars based on its quality alone is undoubtedly unique.

Bruce's feelings were even more complicated. When he smelled the chocolate, his calm, obsessed state began to become a little confused, and his brain began to regain some thinking ability.

Something seems to be wrong with me.

What exactly is this green layer in front of me?
Have you ever seen such a green world before?

He couldn't come up with an answer, but his instinct as a genius and warrior made him make the best choice.

With the little bit of rationality he had just recovered, he gently picked up the knife and fork and put the milk chocolate on the plate into his mouth as quickly as possible. With every bite, the confusion in his eyes lessened a little, and with every bite, the green barrier in front of his eyes was broken a little.

After he finished eating the whole plate of chocolates, the beautiful rose he had put away immediately withered and turned into a dead branch.
