Disnar Restaurant, Gotham's famous barbecue restaurant. It was known as the city's most authentic western barbecue restaurant.
The barbecue here was expensive, but no one could complain about it. Today, however, the waiter at Disnar Restaurant noticed something strange. The guests in Hall 13 had ordered four extra orders. If his eyes were not playing tricks on him, the two guests had ordered enough meat for ten people.
Under the manager's instructions, the waiter carefully knocked on the door of Hall 13. As a businessman with a conscience, he had to ensure that nothing happened to the guests. He also had to ensure that this was not a prank aimed at the reputation of the business. However, when the waiter walked in, he saw a scene that he could not believe.
A large pile of clean plates were piled together. A black-haired young man in a long black trench coat was holding a knife and fork and gorging himself on the food. Sitting beside him was a beautiful girl drinking a drink with a strange expression on her face. Upon closer inspection, the girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old. However, she was wearing the same clothes as the man who had terrible table manners.
They looked like a couple. The waiter glared fiercely at Saber behind his back. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he carried the large pile of plates and was about to leave when he heard the man say without raising his head, "Give me another one.
"Give me another one. This taste is amazing!"
The waiter slipped and almost threw the plate in his hand.
This scene made Selena laugh out loud. This girl who grew up on the narrow island was unexpectedly easy to get along with. However, she always kept a distance from Saber. She knew very well that this man who looked like a glutton was actually a dangerous person.
Selena herself did not know why she saved him. Perhaps it was because of the card he had given her the night before, or perhaps it was because of the way he killed the gangsters that made Selena feel like they had a common enemy.
The thief girl also hated the gangsters in Gotham very much.
Saber stuffed the last piece of meat into his mouth and wiped the grease at the corner of his mouth with a napkin. He could feel that the meat had entered his body and was quickly digested. Most importantly, after awakening his ability, this was probably the closest he had ever been to death.
Half a ton of explosives. If Saber was ten meters closer to the center of the explosion, he would have died. He was not Victor the Saber-Toothed Tiger. His self-healing ability was only Grade-A. In fact, Saber should be thankful for Lucius's reliable craftsmanship. If he was not wearing the armor at the time, he would have been torn apart when the first wave of explosion hit him.
Even so, in the firestorm that followed, he had to use all the power in his body to continuously heal himself in the burning flames. He had done everything he could to survive in the end. If not for Selena's timely rescue, that night of waiting would have definitely cost him his life.
The Devour ability that could stimulate his potential saved his life once again.
"Cough cough."
Saber covered his chest and coughed. His external injuries were healed, but he still had to wait a few more days for his internal injuries. It was very troublesome for his delicate internal organs to recover. He would not be able to fight like before for at least three days.
He lit a cigarette and turned his head to support his chin. He looked at the television by the wall and asked casually.
"Didn't you say you wanted to leave the city the last time we parted? Why are you back? "
"Hmph."
Selena snorted. The knife used to cut the barbecued meat jumped back and forth on her fingertips as if it was dancing. Nimble fingers were the tool used by thieves to make money. In this aspect, the talented Selena's fingers were slender and nimble. It was hard to see the frequency of the movements.
"If it wasn't for that disgusting guy leaning on the side of the road, do you think I would still be here?"
Selena sighed. She looked at the chandelier above her head. "But it doesn't matter. You gave me a lot of money. I can book another ticket. Speaking of which, how did you get injured so badly?"
Her eyes jumped on Saber's body with a touch of doubt.
"After seeing how you tortured and killed those gangsters, I don't think there is anyone in this city who can hurt you to that extent … unless you provoked Batman?"
Faced with this question, Saber was silent for a moment. Then he said, "I'm sorry.
"I'm sorry for delaying your journey. What do you want as compensation?"
"Tsk, boring."
Selena could tell from this answer that Saber did not intend to explain what happened that night. However, she did not continue to ask. She was very curious, but she knew that curiosity killed the cat, especially when it was related to people like Saber.
However, facing Saber's question, her eyes turned.
"I … I might go to school to experience the feeling of being a student. At my age, I should go to school. But identification … God, how many years has it been since I used that thing? Can you help me solve this problem? "
"Then how did you buy the ticket?"
Saber asked curiously. Selena's fingers flicked. Like magic, she took out a passport from her pocket and waved it in front of Saber's eyes.
"It's simple. I 'borrowed' one. But I want to have one that belongs to me, and only me. It's not just a passport …"
The girl's voice lowered. She muttered to herself in a voice that Saber could not hear. "Maybe there is still life."
"According to our news, just now, Gotham's Central Court issued a verdict on the gangster economic case!"
The voice from the television made Saber raise his head. He saw the scene on the screen. It was a noisy courtroom. A middle-aged woman in a black judge's robe announced loudly.
"637 counts of extortion, 698 counts of fraud, 124 counts of fraud, 77 counts of conspiracy to commit murder …"
A series of shocking crimes were listed out by the stern judge. However, that was not what Saber was concerned about. He squinted his eyes. Perhaps because the camera was placed too high, he saw the judge's left hand flip and throw something away. He even saw the surprise on the judge's face and the corner of the thing that was thrown away.
Even though it was just a flash in the camera, Seiber was able to clearly see what it was … the corner of a poker card. It looked exactly like the one he found on Shegal and Hofs. It looked exactly like the one he found on Hofs and Sergei.
"467 counts of obstruction of justice … Do the defendants have anything to defend themselves?"
The judge took a deep breath and looked forward. The camera followed suit. There, the handcuffed hands of Wurz, Maloney and the other gang leaders and their arrested subordinates filled half of the courtroom. They were all defendants! Their expressions were all different, but they were definitely not good.
On the other side were the reporters with cameras. Saber also saw Harvey Dent and Rachel sitting beside him.
He took a deep breath and turned off the TV. He rested his chin on his hands and closed his eyes as if he was thinking about something. Five minutes later, Seiber opened his eyes abruptly. He picked up his knife and fork and began to cut up the barbecued meat that was just served. It was still steaming and fragrant. He spoke as he ate.
"You know how to pick locks … right?"
Selena looked at him in surprise. She knew how to pick locks but she did not understand how Saber knew.
"Your fingers are slender and nimble. The way you hold the knife is not the most suitable for piercing, but it's definitely suitable for throwing and stuffing it into the small keyhole. Also, the way you walk may seem enchanting, but it's actually to make it convenient for you to jump at any time. Every time you enter a new place, your eyes will always look at the exit. From your identity, I can tell that your body must be extremely flexible. In fact, no normal woman would be as flexible as you, so …"
Saber chewed the meat and turned to look at Selena.
"If you are not a yoga fanatic … Do I need to say more? Miss Thief? "
"So what?"
Selena's occupation was exposed. In fact, she had forgotten that when they first met, she took the initiative to tell Saber about her occupation and plans. As for the words just now, they were purely made up by Saber. However, it succeeded in stirring up the girl's emotions. She looked at Saber cautiously like an angry cat.
The latter shrugged at her and continued to eat.
"You help me, I will help you … In the next few days, accompany me to a place and get something. After you get it, I will send you out of Gotham and give you an absolutely reliable identity. I will also guarantee that you will be sent to the best university in New York … I mean what I say!"
"What do you want me to do? You are not going to kill someone, are you? "
Selena looked at Saber cautiously. She instinctively thought that this guy did not have good intentions but Saber just waved his hand.
"I know how to kill someone. I need you to do what you are best at … Do you know how to open a very intricate mechanical lock?"
Selena did not answer. It was not until ten seconds later that she let out a sigh of relief and said hesitantly, "It depends on the type of lock.
"That depends on what kind of lock it is. The old man who taught me how to pick locks died two years ago. He might not be able to pick the most advanced kind of lock."
Saber recalled the lock style of the place and put down his knife and fork.
"Don't worry, it should be at least seven years old. Oh right, come home with me. When you go to New York, I need you to help me bring something to some people."
Faced with this strange request, Selena did not refuse. In fact, after witnessing Saber's fighting skills a few hours ago, she did not intend to refuse. The relationship between the two of them was very strange. It was based on some kind of weak trust after working together. It was also a cooperation built on the basis of using each other.
However, Selena was always vigilant because she knew that if Saber wanted to do something to her, with her current fighting skills, she was no match for this beast-like guy.
"Creak."
The taxi stopped at the edge of the dock area. Saber glanced at the distant Pier 1. The corpses that Lewis hung up were taken away by the police. He regretfully shrugged and brought Selena to the tangled alleys. A few minutes later, he stood in front of his villa and found the spare key under the third flower bed.
He did not go anywhere else but went straight to the garage. Here, Selena saw the well-remodeled training ground and the firearms piled up in the corner of the training ground … Just like that, there was no disguise at all.
A few minutes later, he fixed the holster on his body. He turned his head and saw Selena standing there. He shrugged.
"Sit anywhere, play anywhere. I rarely have people here. Just treat this as your own home."
Saber said casually, but this sentence touched Selena's heart. She turned around and walked into the living room of the villa. She looked around greedily. Living alone, she did not know what a normal family should be like. In her memory, her childhood family only brought her gray memories.
Pop's taste was not good, but this place was full of life. At least this was what a complete family should be like. At this moment, Selena was even a little jealous of Saber. She was jealous that he could have a family.
Her finger lightly brushed across the dining table. Pop's family had left for a few days. There was dust on the table. Selena picked up a rag and was about to wipe it when she heard the door open. The next moment, she looked up and saw Robin entering the room.
"Who are you?"
Robin frowned. She put her left hand on the gun at her waist. Before Selena could speak, Saber, who had cleaned up, came out of the place connecting the garage and the dining room. He saw Robin standing there. Robin also saw him.
Saber's face was cold. Robin let go of the gun and walked quickly to Saber to give him a big hug.
"You … Saber, you're not dead …"
"Great! Thank God, this is great! "
