Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

Thinking about it this way, anything that can cause trouble for the Land of Light must be even more extraordinary.

[Dead Fish Eyes]: "Uncle Kassa, I have a lifelong request!"

[Coward]: "Me too!"

[Best Actor]: "I have one too!"

【I am Batman】: "It seems that everyone, including me, thinks the same thing."

[Dead Fish Eyes]: "When the constellation is about to activate, please turn on the live stream so we can all get a sneak peek and see that thing for ourselves, Uncle Casa!"

Who wouldn't want to see Ultraman shine eternally in the universe?

Although Bruce mainly wanted to take advantage of the live stream to visually showcase the technology of the Land of Light and enhance his own knowledge, he would also genuinely want to watch it.

[Pro-war faction]: "Is that so? Well then, I'll let you know before it starts."

[Coward]: "Yay, Uncle is the best!"

[Ying.Emperor]: "Oh yeah!"

[Pro-war faction]: "It's just a small matter. Now, if it's convenient for you, I'll be heading over. Are you ready, Hachiman?"

[Dead Fish Eyes]: "Ready at any time!"

[Pro-war faction]: "Then I'll..."

【I am Batman】: "Wait a minute!"

Bruce hurriedly packed up in the No. 1 Batcave, picking up this and packing that, and also left a note and a message on his computer to tell Alfred not to worry, before sending his most crucial objective to the group chat.

【I am Batman】: "I've accumulated enough points. I'm also interested in sorcerers and cursed spirits. I'll go to your world for my first time, Hachiman. Would you welcome me?"

[Dead Fish Eyes]: "That's for sure, Uncle Bruce. No matter who it is in the group, everyone will welcome them, including me!"

【I am Batman】: "Okay, I'm coming over too."

Chapter 96 Bruce and Kassadin's First Meeting (Part 2)

"Sir, the Penguin has made a suggestion. He wants to add a Bat Alien to the Ultraman series that is even purer than the Baltan Alien. This Bat Alien would defeat all the Ultramen and monsters, including the human defense force, all by himself, and then be defeated by the new Penguin Alien in collaboration with the Ultramen."

"Lucius asked me to ask you if you want to do some reverse content, where the Bat-Aliens slaughter the Penguin-Aliens, sir?"

"Sir, where are you?"

Alfred, who had returned, called out several times, but no one responded. He began to suspect that the Joker had secretly run back to Gotham and kidnapped Batman. Then he saw the note left there, and the automatic records on the computer.

He immediately relaxed.

There were several secret codes on the note that only he and his master could recognize, and that were only used between the two of them. The presence of these codes proved that the note was genuine and that his master had indeed gone out on business.

As for why the master didn't just call Alfred directly?

It can only be said that Bruce has absolutely no desire to rely on electronic communication unless there is a need for remote contact, lest someone open the box and copy and paste the data that wasn't completely deleted, which would be a real pain.

"This is really strange. So, what should I do in the next few days?"

Alfred was momentarily taken aback.

Even before the Master returned two years ago, he continued to live a normal life, cleaning Wayne Manor every day and helping to look after Wayne Enterprises to prevent the Master's wealth from being squandered by parasites.

But since the master returned in the last two years, he has been busier and busier, especially after the number of freaks in Gotham increased. They have to risk their lives to help the master. How could he be as relaxed as he is these past two days?

Alfred was stunned for a moment, then walked out of the Batcave and looked at Gotham City outside. Compared to before the crystal explosion, it was finally a bit more sunny and not so 100% gloomy and dark. After looking at it for a long time, he suddenly smiled.

Gotham is getting better and better, and Batman has recently started to show some signs of relaxation, as if the burden on his shoulders has lightened.

Everything will get better.

When everything is settled, he can spend a quiet afternoon with Batman, who has shed his Batman persona, reading the newspaper, drinking coffee, and clearing his mind, without having to think about anything.

"Your efforts have indeed been worthwhile, sir."

He once thought it was an unattainable dream in Gotham, but now it seems that, although very slowly, the old man is finally moving towards that dream.

Then he needs to work even harder!

Having a rare moment of free time, Alfred drove off, filled his car with daily necessities and candy, and sped towards various orphanages throughout Gotham, regardless of whether they belonged to Wayne Enterprises.

Even an elderly butler like him would do his best for Gotham once he could see the future!

"Hey? Lucius, stop wasting your breath on that fat bastard Oswald and come with me to do a good deed. If we run into some thugs, it'll save me, a lonely old man, from being all alone. Hurry up!"

Both old men are basking in the rare sunshine of Gotham, feeling rejuvenated!

……

Hachiman Hikigaya went to a deserted place alone.

Without any unnecessary special effects, two reliable adults appear here in the next second.

How should I describe it?

Hachiman Hikigaya has seen many adults, including his parents who are just ordinary office workers, Hiratsuka-sensei who is old but still has the mentality of a twenty-year-old despite being almost thirty, and Gojo-san who carries the dreams of the underworld and the collapse of the sky, full of confidence but also feeling lost.

But compared to these two, they seem worlds apart.

The burdens and knowledge of the overworked; the burdens and knowledge of the teachers who educate and nurture; the burdens and knowledge of the strongest in the underworld.

Compared to these two, all of those other things seem to pale in comparison, making it immediately clear that they are far, far inferior.

But Hachiman Hikigaya discovered a common point, a common point among the strong.

Ordinary people like their parents will lay out their experiences and mindset. If they feel heavy-hearted, they will sigh and complain. If they have encountered a bad thing, they will talk about it for more than ten years and still remember it. They will bring it up again and again to attack themselves, and gradually whitewash themselves in these complaints.

But the strong will not.

Hiratsuka-sensei, Gojo-san, Casa-san, Bruce-san—of course, Hiratsuka-sensei is still far inferior to Gojo-san.

But at least Hiratsuka-sensei also had her share of setbacks in life, she would only mention them in a joking manner.

And the five uncles, Uncle Casa and Uncle Bruce...

When they weren't hiding anything, Hachiman Hikigaya could sense that they had all experienced incredibly heavy pasts, and those heavy pasts were definitely not just one or two times, but were even heavier than the deaths of their own lives.

Even so, Uncle Gojo still manages to seem carefree and cheerful every day.

Uncle Casa and Uncle Bruce are even more high-class than Uncle Gojo.

Aside from the initial shock of their arrival, which revealed the heaviness of their bodies and souls due to the effects of time travel, they quickly returned to normal, appearing just like ordinary people.

Just like normal people—this doesn't mean they hid or pretended, but rather that they've overcome it on their own. Although they may still care deeply about a heavy past, that past can no longer defeat them; instead, it becomes the driving force for them to move forward.

Uncle Gojo, on the other hand, seems to still be reminiscing about the past, which has not become his motivation to move forward.

Of course, someone like Uncle Gojo is already at a very high level, but Uncle Casa and Uncle Bruce are just too outrageous.

In short, Uncle Casa and Uncle Bruce's return to normal human demeanor was not for their own benefit; it was simply because they were inherently too heavy-hearted, so they had to conceal it to avoid affecting others.

Just like Hachiman Hikigaya, if you stay with those two profound souls, it's easy for your original emotions to be altered.

"Can businessmen at the top really be this powerful?"

Hachiman Hikigaya looked at Uncle Bruce with a puzzled expression. He had seen enough of the top businessmen in his world through various videos, and none of them could compare to Uncle Gojo, let alone Uncle Bruce and Uncle Kasa.

Of course, as an ordinary high school student, Hachiman Hikigaya wouldn't have been able to perceive these things, but since being cleansed by the crystal energy, his senses have become much more acute than before.

Kasa's appearance goes without saying; when he appeared on Miko's side, all the group members, including Hachiman Hikigaya and Bruce, had already seen him.

Bruce's appearance can be summed up in one word: handsome, very handsome, extremely handsome.

Moreover, it's not the kind of handsome that young idols have; it's the kind of handsome that both men and women would find attractive.

No matter who it is, as soon as they see him, they will immediately know that he is a young master raised by a wealthy family. He is the epitome of a prince charming, and his features are quite sharp.

It possesses both the unbridled and carefree nature of a rich second-generation heir and the reliability and composure of a leader.

If Gojo Satoru took off his blindfold and walked down the street with Bruce, it's hard to say who would attract more fans, because they are both at the pinnacle of adult male attractiveness.

As for Kassa? He didn't care.

"We've finally met, Kassa, Hachiman."

Bruce flashed a half-Bruce, half-Batman smile and extended his hand to both Kassadin and Hachiman Hikigaya.

"Yes."

Kasa didn't even need to look closely at Moso Bruce's hands. Although they were well-maintained, anyone who had fought for many years could tell that they were hardened by regular exercise. Just by looking at them, he could tell that Bruce was definitely not just a simple businessman.

But whatever secrets are still hidden, since Bruce isn't going to tell, and as long as it doesn't hurt anyone, he naturally won't pry into it.

Hachiman Hikigaya scratched his head.

He had expected to be jumping for joy when the offline meeting was finalized, but since everything was fine in his world, Kasa didn't display the same radiant aura and leadership qualities he had shown when he met Miko. He was just like a gentle, approachable uncle next door, which calmed his reaction considerably.

However, it was precisely because of this that Hachiman Hikigaya had the time to immediately become curious about Bruce's peculiar attire: "Uh... Uncle Bruce, what are all those big bags and packages behind you?"

"These?"

Bruce glanced at the large bundle he was carrying, and without any hesitation, he put all the things on the ground, casually untied one of them, revealing a large pile of glittering gold bars inside.

"Since it's a rare opportunity to come here, I'm planning to buy some land and warehouses. Whether I buy some local specialties, compile them, and resell them as brand new products, or simply use them as accommodations for occasional visits in the future, they'll all be quite useful."

"Oh right, there's more than that. Check the group chat."

Bruce nodded and spoke to Hachiman Hikigaya.

The latter looked at the chat group in confusion, only to find that Bruce had sent several red envelopes before setting off, with a note that they were for him to collect.

Hachiman Hikigaya casually clicked on one of them, and a huge pile of gold instantly rained down into reality, piling up all over the ground.

Bruce smiled shyly: "I'm afraid the amount of money I brought is too little and won't be enough."

The rich are like this: they can just carry gold without thinking, without even worrying about being robbed.

Hachiman Hikigaya sighed, "I'll help you carry it."

"Good boy!"

Overjoyed, Bruce quickly pulled out his phone and hacked into the world's systems and satellites without being detected by any of the local electronic systems. He then quickly selected properties that met his needs.

“Not far from here, there’s a whole piece of factory land for sale. And a short distance away, there are several houses for sale with great interior decoration, ready for immediate occupancy. Let’s go there.”

Bruce made a swift and decisive decision. He not only booked all the accommodations for himself, but also booked several other houses online, one for each person in the chat group, and transferred them directly to their names.

Hachiman Hikigaya opened his mouth, dumbfounded.

Although he had already watched the movie "Star Wars," his family had always been quite ordinary, and he didn't have much pocket money, which was only enough to buy a few light novels.
