Chapter 76: Deportation Plan Started

"Mr. Bruce Wayne, may I ask why you chose to leave Wayne Manor at this time? Has the behavior of the dead soul touched the bottom line of the Wayne Group?"

"Bruce Wayne, look here!"

"Bruce Wayne, if your grandfather had continued to lead the Wayne Group, do you think the group would be in such trouble today?"

"Mr. Wayne, there is evidence that the ghost killed more than 60 people on the top floor of the Wayne Group, most of whom were employees of the Wayne Group. I would like to ask if you can provide compensation for these employees!"

"Mr. Wayne, you just returned to Gotham after disappearing for seven years, and ghosts appeared in Gotham City. May I ask if there is any connection between the ghosts and you?"

"Mr. Wayne, our station received a call from a citizen, saying that a ghost entered Wayne Manor half an hour ago and never came out again. What is the connection between the ghost and the Wayne family?"

Bruce Wayne had just arrived at the door of the group when he was completely surrounded by a group of crazy reporters.

This group of reporters surrounded the Wayne Group and even surrounded the body of the policeman who died half an hour ago.

A full half hour passed, and the bodies of the beheaded policemen still had not been dragged away. This was related to the fact that Gordon had not been able to get the elevator to go downstairs, but the reporters had obviously also made great efforts.

The smell of blood, the flash lights, and the tsunami-like words from countless reporters that flooded towards Bruce made it unbearable for Bruce.

But Bruce knew that these reporters were just vultures staring at carrion. The most important thing for him now was to take Alfred and Wayne Manor back from Downton!

With this thought in mind, Bruce gritted his teeth and remained silent until a large number of security personnel rushed out of the Wayne Group, surrounded him and separated the reporters. Only then did Bruce walk into the group with a cold face.

Upon learning of Bruce's arrival, the CEO of Wayne Group rushed over from the Iceberg Club overnight, and now he was standing in the lobby of the group and walking towards Bruce.

"Bruce!"

From a distance, he said to Bruce.

“It’s not good news for you to come here at this time. Gotham is much more chaotic now than it was this morning.

I suggest you take a good rest at home and don’t worry about the impact on the group’s business. The group has encountered too many troubles similar to the ghosts…”

"Shut up!"

Suddenly, Bruce interrupted the CEO and walked quickly up to him.

After scanning the president with his eyes, Bruce, who could be called the number one detective in Gotham, saw the president's schedule for tonight clearly.

Another idiot who indulges in alcohol, drugs and women, and this kind of person is actually one of the current helmsmen of Wayne Group!

Bruce took a breath of disgust, then raised his hand and tapped the CEO's chest.

“I would like to inform all directors of the group that I will convene a meeting of directors and shareholders of the group tomorrow to understand and discuss the current structure of the group in depth.”

"But……"

"No buts. I remember you should be the CEO, so all you should do is execute!"

Before the CEO could say anything, Bruce interrupted him.

Then Bruce passed by the CEO and walked towards Wayne Group's underground R&D department.

At the same time, on the rooftop of Wayne Group, Gordon, who was leading people to collect and examine the bodies, also received a report from his subordinates and learned about Bruce's arrival.

However, he really didn't think Bruce's arrival would do anything.

It's not like he didn't know Bruce. When the Waynes died in Crime Alley, Gordon was one of the first police officers to rush over. He even put a coat on little Bruce.

But later, Bruce's development really disappointed Gordon. Bruce had been to prison more than once, and Gordon had kept all his criminal records in countries around the world!
However, although Gordon felt that Bruce could not be of any use, he still planned to meet Bruce.

Just as the reporters said, the ghost did disappear in Wayne Manor, and Gordon also wanted to know what the connection was between the ghost and Wayne.

So after receiving the news, Gordon began to wait anxiously for the elevator again. He wanted to meet Bruce Wayne.

Standing at the elevator entrance, Gordon sighed tiredly.

I hope Bruce's brain, which has degenerated into a criminal, can help me get some useful information. Sigh...

While Gordon was sighing, Bruce had already met with Lucius Fox, the head of R&D at Wayne Group.

Lucius was really surprised to see Bruce.

"Bruce, you came over, but why now?

The group is not very safe now. Besides, didn’t you come here once this morning and took away the individual armor I developed for cave exploration?

Are you still missing some useful props for your cave exploration?"

"indeed!"

Facing Lucius's greeting, Bruce looked at him silently, until Lucius felt numb from his gaze, Bruce spoke softly.

“Sorry, Lucius, I need your help with something more important right now.

Can I trust you, or should I trust you? "

After he finished speaking, Bruce coldly paid attention to every detail of Lucius.

In response to Bruce's question, Lucius took a deep breath and then spread his hands helplessly.

“It’s not the first time I’ve heard this, and the last person who said it to me was called Thomas.

Your question is meaningless to me. Rather than you judging whether I can be trusted, I should be questioning whether you are worthy of my help, Bruce."

After he finished speaking, Lucius came to Bruce and put his arm around Bruce's shoulders with nostalgia.

Lucius was originally a good friend of Thomas Wayne. Although Thomas Wayne was smart, he only liked his dental industry and had no interest in the development of science and technology.

Therefore, in Thomas's era, the Wayne Group's technology research and development department that kept up with the trend of the times was all built and led by Thomas's close friend Lucius Fox.

While the Technology R&D Department helped Wayne Group continue to dominate the forefront of the times, Lucius was also invited by Thomas to serve as the executive director of Wayne Group.

However, after Thomas' death, Lucius was squeezed out of the position of executive director by the Kane family, and the technology research and development department he led was reorganized into the logistics equipment department and sent to the underground of Wayne Group to become a homeless child.

Bruce certainly knew Lucius's past, and he knew that the man in front of him was trustworthy.

So, looking at Lucius with a face full of nostalgia, Bruce nodded and then spoke softly.

“Time will tell whether you and I are worthy of trusting each other, but there are more troublesome things waiting for us.

Lucius, I hope all these years of experience haven't made you forget your job!"

"I also hope that your disappearance over the years has not made you forget the rights you hold and the responsibilities you shoulder.

Welcome back, and more than welcome to cheer up, Bruce!"

Lucius hugged Bruce tightly, then let go of Bruce and continued to ask.

"So, what do we do now?"

"There is only one thing we need to do now, and that is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of Codename Revenant and take the fastest countermeasures!
Just now, the dead invaded Wayne Manor, turned it into his plaything, and threatened Alfred with my life to serve as his temporary butler!
And I, we must drive him out, not only drive him out of my manor, but also drive him out of Gotham, or even drive him out of the earth!"
