Gotham Laugher

Chapter 128 Jack
Just when Luo Ke wanted to go out.

A person at a table on one side attracted Luo Ke's attention.

In the corner of the bar, a man was wearing a black suit.

It seems that he is talking to the owner of the bar, and the atmosphere seems to be very bad.

Luo Ke glanced at the fat man in the distance, hesitated for a while, but still didn't catch up, but walked towards the corner.

"Hey, boss, what's going on, it's so noisy." Luo Ke walked over familiarly, and directly put his shoulders on the boss.

The boss was confused by Luo Ke's sudden action.

He looked at Luo Ke in surprise.

Luo Ke looked puzzled and said, "Why are you looking at me like this, don't tell me you forgot me."

The boss looked at Luo Ke sadly.

He is really curious, who is this one, he really can't remember.

But before the boss remembered, the man in the black suit said in a low voice again: "Boss, can you give me a chance to play, I really prepared a lot of jokes, me."

Hearing this, the boss seemed a little annoyed.

"Jack, I've told you many times, I'm not here."

"Mr. Jack! I have been waiting for a long time!"

Before the boss finished speaking, Luo Ke suddenly shouted, grabbed the hand of this man, and said sincerely: "Mr. Jack, I think we are very destined! In this way, I invite you How about a drink!"

Jack was taken aback by Luo Ke's sudden move, and directly shook off Luo Ke's seemingly enthusiastic hand.

Looking at Luo Ke with a strange face.

At this time, Luo Ke obviously hasn't figured out what's wrong with the fat man's way of speaking through the fat man's reaction.

Still feel uncomfortable there.

People who have the potential to become clowns in the past have such a strange temper, and he is so enthusiastic, yet he is still so repulsive.

"Sorry, sir, I'm talking to the bar owner about something now, can I trouble you not to harass me first." Jack said helplessly.

"There's no need to talk." The bar owner said decisively: "Please don't bother my bar anymore, I don't need a stand-up show actor who can't tell jokes at all!"

After speaking, the bar owner left.

Before leaving, he turned his head and said to Luo Ke, "I'm sorry, I really don't remember you at all. Don't forget to pay for the glass you took."

Luo Ke looked at the boiled water in his hand, and didn't think about what the boss said just now.

Instead, he focused his attention on this man named Jack.

"How about it, Mr. Jack, would you like me to buy you a drink now?" Luo Ke shook the boiled water in his hand and took a sip.

Hearing this, Jack sighed helplessly.

"Just tell me if you have anything to do. This is the last bar. I have nothing to do for the time being."

Rocky gave a mysterious smile.

really.

Or his thinking is too narrow.

Since it is a person who can become a clown, of course the more desperate the better, how can such a person have a job of his own?
"No hurry, come here, I'll buy you a drink, I want to introduce you to a business, come on, let's chat at the bar." Luo Ke said with a gentleman's invitation gesture.

Go to the edge of the bar.

Luo Ke really invited this hard-working man to have a few drinks, and the two chatted thoroughly.

It's pretty much the same as Rocker thought.

Since Gotham City started ten years ago, Gotham City's economy has been severely polarized, and Cobbot turned out to be the last person to do good deeds.

Next, various policies and laws became harsh.

People who do good deeds have basically disappeared, and instead turned into oppression and perfunctory, making more and more poor people, and many people at the bottom of society are getting harder and harder to live.

And Jack is one of them.

He wasn't living a bad life, but the place he was in was taken by Black Mask and wanted to open a casino.

The other party forcibly buys it at a very low price.

This resulted in the forcible eviction of the apartment that Jack and his wife had been living in.

Originally he had his own house, so Jack wasn't under so much pressure and could write some good jokes to supplement his family's income.

But after this incident.

But he began to doubt himself, wondering if he was a waste.

Is it useless.

Although his wife has been comforting him, he still can't accept all this because he likes to dig into horns.

Even paranoid that it was his fault.

He shouldn't have always wanted to be a so-called comedian.

What if he found a job with consistent income?

Even if it's just a job like canning?
Would their lives be better now?

Don't believe in yourself.

Jack can no longer write good work, and starts to go from a stand-up comedian who gets a few gigs every now and then to a rotten piece of shit that everyone hates.

Jack drank another glass of wine and slammed the glass on the bar.

He clenched his teeth, the muscles on his face tensed, and he trembled slightly, just for his current fucking life.

Luo Ke learned about this matter from the perspective of a bystander.

All in all it's not that complicated.

This is a person with poor psychological quality, who has suffered a severe blow.

So, maybe this kind of cowardly person really can't take too serious a blow, but fortunately, this guy named Jack has his own pregnant wife.

The last light of his life is still there.

Luo Ke hooked his feet to the bottom of the bar, fell backwards, supported everything with the back legs of the chair, and looked up at the ceiling.

it looks.

Maybe it's not as difficult as he imagined.

What is the worst day, of course, is when a person loses all hope.

It's just such a little light that he can snuff out with one hand.

"Sir, thank you for listening to my complaints." Jack said with a wry smile.

Luo Ke closed his eyes, snorted, and said: "It's okay, idlers like me have so much time, I just listen to your complaints, I don't think it's a big deal, and maybe I can provide you with some help."

"help?"

Jack looked at Luo Ke with a pair of reddish eyes, waiting for the next words from the man who appeared suddenly.

"That's right." Luo Ke took out the cherry in his cup, threw it into his mouth, and said, "It's just helping."

"Speaking of it, is it still a matter of money? I can introduce you to a job that doesn't require too much technical content. It will allow you to have enough money to find a better apartment for your wife. And let you transition to a new job, interested?"

Hearing this, Jack looked at Luo Ke in confusion.

He seemed a little drunk, and asked, "May I ask, what kind of job are you planning to give me?"

Luo Ke looked up with both eyes, and put his mouth close to Jack's ear, saying, "Help me rob, ACE, chemical plant."

　At the end of the writing, I started to feel a little bit. There is one more update, I will try my best, but I am very sleepy, and it may not be updated, so don't hold out too much hope.
