Hmm.
In fact, it was not Issou's illusion.
Because not only her, but even the twins and Clarice also noticed the strange atmosphere between Shylock and Strange.
Of course,
The ones who felt it the most were Moriarty, Watson, and Charles, who were sitting at the same table as the two parties.
They could clearly feel that after Issou's voice fell,
Whether it was Strange or Shylock,
The way the two of them looked at each other instantly changed.
Even the aura around them suddenly changed.
Watson looked at Shylock, who was sitting at the same table as him.
Then he looked at Strange. Now the two of them were expressionless, which made the two, who originally looked exactly the same, look even more like they were made from the same mold because of the same expression.
Watson was not the only one who had this idea.
Most of the people present had the same idea as him, especially the siblings, Wanda and Pietro.
Pietro's head was spinning like a top. He turned to look at Shylock.
He turned to look at Strange, then turned to look at Wanda, then turned to look at himself through the glass. Finally, he exclaimed to his sister, "Oh my God,
Wanda,
They look more like twins than we do. "
Yes, among the people present, only the siblings, Wanda and Pietro, were real twins.
Hmm.
Although as Pietro said,
Compared to Shylock and Strange — —
They were more like twins than the siblings.
But …
No one stipulated that twins must look exactly the same,
This principle was also valid in reverse,
For example — —
"Just because they look alike, they are twins?"
After hearing what Pietro said to Wanda, Shylock withdrew his gaze from Strange and turned to Pietro.
He raised his eyebrows slightly. His pair of blue-green eyes, which originally made people feel cold, looked even colder because of his displeasure.
Shylock said, "Who gave you the courage to make such a simple and crude conclusion? Have you seen twins with obvious age differences? "
On the surface, Shylock was responding to Pietro's words, but in fact, when he said this, his gaze was directly on Strange.
Strange: "…"
I want to hit someone!
"Of course."
Shylock suddenly smiled at Strange. However, the friendlier his expression was, the angrier his words were. He said, "It's not impossible for one of the twins to age prematurely."
Strange: "…"
Now you don't want to hit someone, can you hit someone?
Before Strange became Doctor Strange, his personality was actually similar to Shylock's. They were both workaholics, arrogant, and sharp-tongued, but! Yes!
No bragging.
It was all his fault for being sharp-tongued. How could others have the chance to be sharp-tongued?
So now that he was dissed by Shylock, did he have to admit that he was indeed older than Shylock? Did he have to admit that he was indeed prematurely aging?
"I've never seen twins with an obvious age difference, and I've never seen one of the twins showing signs of aging prematurely. However, I've seen twins with obvious differences in their thinking, psychology, and behavior."
Strange's words were a response to Pietro's words, but his gaze was not on Pietro. Instead, it was on Shylock.
Obviously, Pietro's role in Strange's mind was exactly the same as his role in Shylock's mind.
Strange said to Shylock, "So it's not surprising that he suspects that we are twins. After all, in addition to our similar faces, we also fit the example I just mentioned."
Hearing Strange's words, Shylock sneered and said, "So you're saying that you're prematurely aging and childish?"
"No, you're the one who's childish."
Strange pursed his lips at Shylock and said, "After all, I don't have a funny head of curly hair."
Strange's gaze deliberately lingered on Shylock's black curly hair before he continued, "If we are really twins, then I'm not surprised at all why there is such an obvious age difference between us."
Hearing Strange's words, Shylock also pursed his lips at him, revealing a smile that was almost identical to his. It seemed appropriate but was full of sarcasm. He said, "No, you're overthinking it."
"If you and I were twins, it would be a disaster for the Holmes family. After all, you alone could lower the IQ of the entire Holmes family." "That's right," said the detective, who had always liked to crush people with his IQ. "If you and I were twins, then it would be a disaster for the Holmes family.
"Ha."
Hearing Shylock's words, Strange felt as if he had lowered the IQ of the entire family. He sneered and said, "You're obviously worried for nothing. After all, if we really are twins, then the one who should be worried is me."
He used an even more! Even more! He said to Shylock in an even more disdainful tone, "After all, if it's just you, it's enough to lower the age of the entire Strange family."
Glancing at Shylock, who dissed Strange for being too old, and then at Strange, who dissed Shylock for being childish and ridiculous, Issou …
Issou couldn't help but fall into deep thought — —
She knew that she had always been unable to grasp the main point, but! Yes!
Who could tell her that Shylock and Strange, who were currently arguing with each other, were arguing because of the last plate of braised meat? Or did they simply want to bicker with each other?
At the same time, another person fell into deep thought like Issou. This person was none other than Bruce Weyne, who was staying in his own bat cave.
"Young master, if you don't eat now, then your lunch will become afternoon tea."
Alfreid, who had returned to the bat cave, glanced at the lunch that was completely the same as when he delivered it. He then looked at Bruce, who was sitting motionlessly in front of the many screens, and said, "Or do you want to save time and finish your lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner in one go?"
Hearing his old butler's words, Bruce, who pulled himself out of his thoughts, said without turning his head, "I'm not hungry yet, Fu."
"No, young master."
Alfreid shook his head and said, "I seriously suspect that you've been hungry for a long time. You should know that when a person is hungry for a long time, they will naturally feel less hungry. But in fact, you should also know very well that hunger is not good for the body at all."
Bruce, who knew that the old butler was worried about his health, turned his head and looked at him. He said, "I'm fine, Fu, don't worry."
"Of course I'm not worried."
Alfreid glanced at Bruce, then opened his mouth and said, "If it was before, I might be worried that I would face a major crisis of unemployment when you die young. But now, I obviously don't have to worry too much."
He smiled at his young master, then said, "Because if one day I lose my position as the Weyne family's butler because of your untimely death, Miss Issou will agree to hire me as her new butler."
Hearing Alfreid's tone, which was similar to "I'm not worried about losing my job at all, I've already found my next job", the corner of Bruce's mouth couldn't help but twitch, but he still said, "New butler? I thought you were interested in working at 'my Chinese restaurant'? "
"It seems that you know about it, young master?"
Although Alfreid's tone was a little surprised, his expression was completely different from his tone. He said, "But that's all in the past. Miss Issou personally told me that she is very envious of young master having an all-around butler. So if one day I'm not happy at the Weyne manor, she welcomes me to go to New York to find her."
"Okay, okay, okay …"
Bruce didn't know what to do with Alfreid. As he said himself, Ah Fu was no longer a simple butler to him, but his closest family member and most loyal partner.
So when he heard Alfreid's words change from "even if young master dies young, I won't face unemployment because I can go to New York to find Issou" to "if young master makes me unhappy, I'll go to New York to find Issou", Bruce instantly surrendered.
"I'll eat now, okay?"
With that said, Bruce was about to push the chair he was sitting on to the table where the lunch was placed, but before he had time to move, he saw Alfreid, who had just threatened him, take out a thermal lunch box from the bag.
Seeing the old butler open the thermal lunch box and place it in front of him one by one, Bruce only felt that Ah Fu's actions had warmed his heart even before he ate.
However, before Bruce had time to feel warm, he heard Alfreid say in a particularly disdainful tone, "Fortunately, I prepared an extra portion when I made lunch for you. Otherwise, I would have to make it again."
With that said, the old butler said to his young master, "To be honest, young master, compared to Miss Issou, you're really much more difficult to serve."
Bruce: "…"
Was Ah Fu still holding a grudge against him for eating the last piece of Golden Square Cake?
Alfreid didn't know what his young master was thinking. After he was done complaining, he asked, "Did something happen to Joker again?"
The old butler asked this because Bruce was facing Joker's face on the screen.
"Yes, something did happen."
Speaking of Joker, Bruce was not in the mood to think that his old butler had become particularly disdainful of him because of Issou. After swallowing the food in his mouth, he said, "Joker sent me a video …"
With that said, Bruce opened the video and showed it to Alfreid. After Alfreid quietly watched the video, he continued, "He told me that Clown is planning to escape from Arkham Asylum. Obviously, her purpose of escaping is to go to New York to find Issou."
Alfreid, who had watched the video sent by Joker, heard Bruce's words and asked, "Young master, do you think that Joker sent you this video not only because he was worried that Clown would hurt Miss Issou after arriving in New York, so he specifically notified you in advance to prevent Clown from escaping?"
Yes, Joker's purpose was very clear in the video. He already knew about Haley's plan, and because Issou ruined his relationship with the Clown, he was worried that Clown would go to New York to find Issou.
In the video, Joker sternly said that after he found out about this matter, he would choose to ignore it! Turn a deaf ear to it?!
Of course not!
After all, Issou was his little Sweethearts!
Therefore, he recorded a video and sent it to Batman, reminding him to keep an eye on Clown and not let her escape successfully.
Issou, who had ruined his relationship with the Clown in Joker's words, "…???"
Excuse
me！？
She didn't do anything, okay?!
After Bruce saw the video, he did not fully believe Joker's words. In other words, he did not fully believe that Joker's purpose was so "simple".
Upon hearing Alfreid's words, Bruce said, "If Clown wants to escape from prison to find Joker because he treats Issou differently, then I believe it, but …"
Bruce frowned and said, "With Joker's ability, if he really wants to stop Clown, he doesn't even need to inform me. Under the circumstances that I don't know, he can directly stop Clown's plan from escaping from prison."
Yes, Joker was locked up in the Arkham Asylum, but he was not locked in a small room in the Arkham Asylum, so if he wanted to be free, would it be difficult?
Of course not.
Upon hearing Bruce's words, Alfreid glanced at him and asked, "Young Master, do you think that Joker deliberately told you about this matter? His purpose was to divert your attention to the clown girl, so that he could take the opportunity to do something? "
"That's what I thought at first."
Bruce was not a fool. He had fought with the Clown so many times, so how could he not see through the tricks the Clown was playing?
Joker's motive for sending him this video was definitely not that simple.
After all, if Clown chose to escape from prison to find Issou because of Joker's attitude towards Joker, then what about Issou?
Wouldn't he want to escape from the Arkham Asylum to find Issou in New York?
And the point was …
Joker had completely changed his attitude towards Issou after tasting Issou's Money Square Cake.
Based on this point alone, Issou's culinary skills could be confirmed. Therefore, if Joker wanted to taste more of Issou's food, he would definitely want to escape from the Arkham Asylum.
Thinking of this, Bruce had a headache.
Previously, he said that when he invited Issou to Gotham to attend the Weyne Group's banquet, he did not expect things to develop to this point. At first, he hoped that he could use Issou's culinary skills to make Joker and the other supervillains stay in the Arkham Asylum.
Now, things had turned out that Joker was likely to try his best to escape from prison …
Wait a minute.
Bruce, who suddenly thought of something, stopped eating. He looked at Alfreid and asked, "Fu, do you think Joker wants to work with me?"
"Work together?"
When Alfreid heard this, he looked at Bruce with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He asked, "Master, what do you mean?"
"If Joker can find out that I often go to 'my Chinese restaurant', do you think he can find out about my insistence on inviting Issou to be the head chef in Gotham?"
When he heard Bruce say this, Alfreid immediately understood. He said, "You're saying that Joker knows about your plans, so he wants to work with you to let Miss Issou be the head chef in Gotham?"
Alfreid was not an idiot. On the contrary, he was a humorous and wise old man. If he was only loyal to the Weyne Family, then he would at most be the Weyne Family's housekeeper, and would never be Batman's partner.
Alfreid was often able to provide Batman with a lot of help and leadership. For example, when Bruce first met Joker, he treated him like an ordinary criminal. It was Alfreid who reminded him not to underestimate Joker.
As it turned out, he was right.
So when he heard Bruce's words, Alfreid understood what he meant. He said, "So the purpose of Joker sending you this video is not to stop Clown from finding trouble with Miss Issou, but to threaten you in the form of a warning to cooperate with him and bring Miss Issou to Gotham."
"Mm."
Bruce nodded. Joker was threatening him in a subtle way.
Either he cooperated with him, or he would have to face his crazy prison break and …
The criminals who broke out with him.
"Then what do you plan to do? Master. "
Alfreid looked at Bruce and heard him say, "Do nothing."
When the old butler heard Bruce's words, he noticed the smile on his master's face. He said, "Ah Fu, you should know that in this world, other than Batman, there is another person who can give Joker a headache."
When Alfreid heard Bruce's words, a look of realization appeared on his face. He said, "Master, are you planning to use Clown to cause trouble for Joker?"
For example, to forward the video that Joker sent to Batman to Clown who was planning a prison break or something.
However …
Alfreid was worried about one thing. "If Clown knows that Joker betrayed her, she might be angry, but she might choose to vent her anger on Miss Issou."
At that time, the clown girl might go crazy and break out of prison, then go crazy and find trouble with Yi Su.
Hearing Alfreid's words, Bruce raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Don't worry, Ah Fu, I won't put Issou in danger."
The old butler's worry was not unfounded, but since Bruce had made this decision, he naturally had the corresponding measures and plans to protect Issou's safety.
After all, it was their mistake last time that caused Issou to be targeted by Joker and suffer his crazy confession of love.
Joker who sincerely confessed to Issou: "…???"
Old Bat, if you don't understand love, then don't talk nonsense!
#
Bruce, who was far away in Gotham, quickly determined Joker's goal, found a way to deal with it, and came up with the corresponding measures and plans.
Issou, who was in New York, also quickly thought of a way to solve the childish quarrel between Strange and Shylock.
"… So, you two don't want the last portion of braised meat, right?"
While Shylock attacked Strange as fast as he could, and Strange was about to retort, Issou opened his mouth and stopped their quarrel. They were clearly at loggerheads over the last plate of braised meat, but they never mentioned it during their quarrel.
When Shylock and Strange heard Issou's words, just like before, they opened their mouths and said in unison, "Of course not!"
Strange and Shylock, who disliked each other because of their quarrel, looked at each other and then looked away in disdain.
Strange said to the black-haired girl, "Issou, I was the one who ordered the braised meat first."
"If someone's brain deteriorates because of old age or prematurely senility, affecting their memory, I don't mind reminding them a little —"
Shylock put on a fake smile, "To be precise, we spoke at the same time."
In other words, they were standing on the same starting line, so it was unrealistic to rely on this to determine who would get the last plate of braised meat.
However …
Shylock said to Strange in a proud tone, "But I spoke faster than you."
In other words, even if they were standing on the same starting line, he had reached the finish line one step ahead of him.
Shylock looked at Issou and said, "So Issou, who do you think the last plate of braised meat should go to?"
Strange: "…"
If he used Agamotto's Eye to turn back time to the time when he ordered the last plate of braised meat, he felt that besides ordering it before Shylock, he had to be ruthless! Ruthless! He had to give this damned Curly Hair a good beating!
Issou didn't know what Strange was thinking. After hearing Shylock's words, she glanced at him and said, "Since that's the case, then …"
Before the black-haired girl could finish speaking, she saw the Floating Magic Cloak draped over Strange's back float up. It used a corner to caress Issou's face, then grabbed Issou's hand and acted like a spoiled child.
Seeing such a human-like Floating Magic Cloak, Issou swallowed the words he wanted to say.
The London trio: "…"
Wow.
He actually asked for outside help?!
As ordinary people, even if the London trio could ask for outside help, they wouldn't be able to get outside help like the Floating Magic Cloak. However …
Even if they didn't have outside help, they had a magical weapon to act cute!
Thus, when Issou was about to change his mind because of the Floating Magic Cloak, his vision suddenly turned dark.
Issou: "…???"
This feeling of deja vu …
The black-haired girl subconsciously took a step back and realized that the reason her vision suddenly turned dark was because of Shylock! He! That! One! Head! Of! Black! And! Thick! Dense! Of! Small! Curling! Hair! Reaching! To! Her! Face! In! Front!
Issou: "…!!!"
Wah!
Wah wah!
Wah wah wah!
Issou, who had wanted to stroke this adorable and tsundere Curly Hair, couldn't resist Shylock's temptation at all. She subconsciously reached out, but! Yes!
Before the black-haired girl's hand could stroke Shylock's Curly Hair, the Floating Magic Cloak, which had been grabbing her hand and acting coquettishly, wrapped itself around Shylock's head, as though it had encountered a little fairy who had come to seduce her husband.
Mm.
More accurately, it should be his Curly Hair, and then …
It began to ravage him crazily!
