Starting from scratch, Batman crushed my dream of getting rich

Chapter 85 Valentine's Day Overtime Duo

"No, no! No!!!"

Maroni looked at the mess in the restaurant with bloodshot eyes and screamed in anger subconsciously.

Vernon was following behind Maroni. When he saw the explosion, he was so scared that he took a few steps back. He subconsciously held the stacks of bills in his arms tightly, and his body trembled unconsciously. At this moment, he already wanted to leave Maroni's restaurant immediately.

It was too dangerous. Staying with a gangster like Maroni was too dangerous. For Vernon, a civil servant, this double attack of explosion and gunfire was a little too exciting.

Ma Zhaodi hid behind the other people in the kitchen, listening to Maroni's roar, and subconsciously curled his lips. Today was his first day in the restaurant, and the restaurant was bombed - the loss this time was much more serious than the crystal chandelier, the kitchen fire or the Batman incident in Red Dragon. Both the people and the restaurant were destroyed. In other words, Ma Zhaodi might have to stay at home for the remaining half month.

While Ma Zhaodi was daydreaming, Maroni had already rushed out the door in three or two steps. The blazing fire of the burning car illuminated the snowy night and also illuminated several things placed next to the car.

"what is this?"

Maroni looked down in the firelight at the items at his feet: a .22 pistol with the serial number erased, a broken baby pacifier, scattered metal shells, and a piece of Valentine's Day chocolate wrapped in a bright red heart-shaped package.

Who was the culprit behind this accident? The answer is already clear.

"Festival Killer!"

Maroni gritted his teeth and spat out this hateful, terrifying name that made the entire Gotham City panic. He picked up the red chocolate from the ground and clenched his fists in the firelight.

A huge figure was projected onto the wall by the blazing flames. It raised a fist and waved it vigorously, its tone filled with provoked anger as it roared, "Alright! You want war, and I'll give you war!"

Although Maroni made such bold statements, the business had to be stopped tonight. Only a few people were left in the restaurant, and some senior executives were responsible for contacting repair and medical matters. Small characters like Ma Zhaodi could simply take a vacation and go home.

While walking on the road, Ma Zhaodi's system prompt sounded again.

Valentine's Day Workaholic
Mission introduction: Valentine's Day is a romantic day. Some people are sad on this day, while others are happy on this day - but you would never imagine that some people would work overtime on this day.

Note: A message to Harvey could save Valentine's Day for two families, and perhaps save something else too.

Status: To be completed (0/1)

Reward: Special Language 20% Discount Card - Intermediate Natural Language Proficiency]

Ma Zhaodi entered the mall and took a look. The price of intermediate natural language proficiency in the mall was 300,000 US dollars in asset points, and a 20% discount card could reduce the price to 60,000.

To be honest, the original price is reasonable, after all, it is an extraordinary ability; the discount is also quite low, a green bar of -80% is placed on a certain Steam platform. Even if it is a work of the same level of completion as Starry Sky, Ma Zhaodi will at least buy it to try it out.

But for now, Ma Zhaodi still thinks it is better to save the asset points first for emergency use - because this ability does not seem to be particularly urgent to use.

Keep it, at least this discount card will not expire.

With this in mind, Ma Zhaodi casually dialed Harvey Dent's number - during this period, he was also invited to visit the Harveys' home. The two sides became more familiar with each other, and since they already had a common secret, their relationship became good.

Of course, the downside of communicating with Harvey Dent was that it would arouse the Falcone family's vigilance. Fortunately, Ma Zhaodi wasn't a member of the Falcone family, so he was merely viewed with caution, not directly as a traitor. His exile back to Red Dragon might have been due to this. With a ding, the phone connected.

"Hello? Harvey, where are you now? Is it okay to answer the phone? I have something to say."

"Me?" Harvey raised his head and looked at Sheriff Gordon and the elegant old butler in a suit.

"You two gentlemen may be a little hungry. I'll go get some snacks." The old butler smiled and took his leave, which was very considerate.

"No need, Butler Alfred." Harvey waved his hand: "I'll go outside to meet him and will be back soon."

Rewinding back a bit, to earlier times, Bruce and Selina were dancing in the square.

"Ding Dong"

The doorbell of Wayne Manor rang.

The door opened, and an old butler with a Mediterranean hairstyle opened the door. The expensive high-end suit was exquisite and handsome, which complemented his elegant and calm demeanor. Looking at the two guests at the door, he asked, "What can I do for you, gentlemen?"

"It's cold outside. Can we go inside and talk?" Harvey, standing at the door, exhaled lightly.

Gordon added, "Ah, the District Attorney and I want to know—Is Mr. Wayne home, Alfred?"

"Unfortunately, the young master is not here." Alfred shook his head, but he still made a welcoming gesture: "Welcome to wait in, although..."

"Ok."

"Row."

Before he could finish his words, Harvey and Gordon agreed immediately. It was obvious that they were determined to talk to Bruce.

The two followed Butler Alfred into Wayne Manor. This gorgeous and magnificent manor was basically taken care of by this old gentleman alone. He cleaned, cooked, gardened, performed seasonal maintenance, and performed routine inspections and maintenance on various facilities in the manor, including chimneys, fireplaces, safety devices, etc. - all of these tasks were supervised by him alone, and some of the work could only be done by him personally, and this went on for decades.

As Harvey and Gordon walked in the manor, they couldn't help but marvel in their hearts - this butler Alfred was simply a superman.

Coming to the warm fireplace, Alfred made tea for the two of them. Harvey's mood calmed down at this time, and his feelings about the manor turned into just one sentence: "What a nice place."

"Have you never been to Wayne Manor before?" Sheriff Gordon asked subconsciously.

"I was invited to his Halloween party once, but—as I told Greda, I'm not one for dressing up."

"Even for a billionaire, Bruce Wayne."

Alfred chuckled softly and replied, "What a shame, Mr. Dent."

"Master Bruce's masquerade balls are always... entertaining."
