The Void Walker in American Comics...

Chapter 58 Gordon's Visit
Wayne Manor
Bruce was holding a thick file of Wayne Group documents in his hand, reading through it carefully.

In addition to exercising and practicing his cunning Western swordsmanship and dart throwing skills every day, he spent the rest of his time looking through various documents of the Wayne Group.

Wayne Group was left to him by his parents, and he must learn to manage the business empire left by his parents.

Although it was still difficult for him to look through the documents, Bruce still tried his best to check every document.

It was also because of his careful inspection that he discovered some problems with the Wayne Group. Arkham, which was about to be rebuilt, actually fell into the hands of the gang and became a bargaining chip in the gang's struggle for power.

That was a project taken over by a foundation under his mother's name, established to build Gotham, but now it has become a battleground for gangs.

Just as Bruce was looking through the documents carefully, Alfred walked in.

"Master Bruce, a detective from the Gotham Police Department wants to see you."

"Want to see me?" Bruce looked up at Alfred in confusion. "Did he say what it was about?"

"I'm sorry sir, they didn't say anything."

Alfred shook his head slightly. He asked Gordon but got no response.

Gordon and Harvey are now in the reception room downstairs. They, or rather, only Gordon, want to meet Bruce, and although Harvey is here, he still looks reluctant.

If he were given another chance, he would never go to Wayne Manor with Gordon. He would rather stay outside Wayne Manor and count ants than get involved in the affairs of these Gotham upper class people.

"You're really going to kill me this time!"

Harvey walked back and forth in the living room with his hands on his hips. The luxurious decorations around him not only did not make him relax, but made him even more nervous.

"It's okay, trust me Harvey."

Compared to Harvey's uneasiness, Gordon seemed extremely calm. He sat on the sofa in the living room, quietly waiting for Bruce to arrive.

Not long after, Bruce walked into the reception room. When he saw Gordon, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the person who wanted to see him was the detective he had met once.

"I heard from Alfred that you wanted to see me. Is there anything you need my help with?"

He wasn't familiar with the two detectives, having only met them once in Crime Alley, and they had never seen each other again.

"Well... we are here to inform you of something." Gordon paused for a moment and said, "The murderer who killed your parents was beheaded in prison."

When Bruce heard about the murderer, his eyes were full of hatred, but after knowing that the guy had been beheaded, Bruce was stunned for a moment, then he showed a happy expression.

Gordon saw all the changes in his expression. The ten-year-old child in front of him had no idea the whereabouts of the murderer.

However, this cannot be used as evidence. After all, no killer would be stupid enough to tell his employer his exact location.

Therefore, Gordon told Bruce the details of the Blackgate Prison and all the information he knew.

They talked for a long time. Although Bruce acted happy that his hatred had been avenged, Gordon still couldn't find any flaws in Bruce.

The door of the living room was suddenly opened and Mu En walked in.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to have guests."

Gordon's visit surprised Moon En. Why would this passionate detective appear in Wayne Manor if he wasn't out to catch criminals?

Seeing Moon walking into the living room, Gordon recalled the miserable state of the murderer when he first saw him. If he had not been sent to the hospital in time, the murderer would have lost more than just a pair of eyes.

"Sir, where did you go just now?" He suspected that it was Mu En who did it. He still clearly remembered how serious the murderer's injuries were. Perhaps it was because Bruce was dissatisfied with the judge's verdict that he asked him to hire Mu En to sneak into the prison to eliminate the root of the problem.

"Me? I just sat in the bar for a while."

This was not something Mu En said nonsense, he had indeed just returned to Wayne Manor from the bar.

After killing the Claw, he walked into a bar and had a glass of whiskey, which he never liked.

His greatest motivation in Gotham cannot be achieved for the time being, so he can only use this method to relieve the depression in his heart.

After hearing Moon's answer, Gordon looked at Harvey. If Moon's answer was true, Harvey's connections could help.

Soon Gordon asked Harvey to leave, which made the slightly annoyed Harvey feel relieved. He really didn't want to stay here.

After sending Gordon away, Moon turned to look at Bruce. Perhaps the real target of the Court of Owls was Bruce.

"This detective was quite alert, but he was still misled by those little birds!"

Moon's words left Bruce and Alfred a little confused. What did it mean to be misled by those little birds?

"Teacher, is it possible that the little bird you mentioned deliberately guided them to point to me?"

Bruce didn't understand. He clearly didn't do anything, so why did the so-called bird do this?
"That's right!" Mu En nodded and took out an owl mask and several sharp weapons from his arms. "These things are the weapons of the killer, and he has a name you have all heard of, Claws!"

Claws?

This made Bruce and Alfred confused, as they seemed to have never heard of this so-called claw.

"You guys probably know about the scary nursery rhyme about the Court of Owls that's circulating in Gotham, right?"

After being reminded by Mu En, Alfred was the first to react.

There is indeed a line about claws in the nursery rhyme of the Court of Owls, but this nursery rhyme is probably just a legend.

"Could it be that the Court of Owls is real?"

Bruce looked at Moon with wide eyes. He had also heard the nursery rhyme of the Court of Owls and even looked for it several times, but he could not find any trace of the Court of Owls. In the end, he had to give up. It seemed that the Court of Owls was just a legend.

But now, Mu En actually told them that the Court of Owls existed, and the weapons in his hands were left behind by the minions sent out by the Court of Owls.

"Are you looking for the Court of Owls every night when you go out?" Alfred asked.

"Yes!" Mu En nodded. "I searched for a long time in Gotham, chasing the owl across most of Gotham, and finally found this claw."

Picking up a dagger from the weapons, Mu En chuckled and shook the dagger.

"This sword is the weapon that chopped off the murderer's head. I saw it with my own eyes."

Looking at the dagger in Moon's hand, Alfred fell into deep thought.

Although they are both in Gotham, the Court of Owls, which has always existed in the legend, has no intersection with the Wayne family at all. How could they suddenly send out the Claws to behead the murderer and frame Bruce?
This really seems to be misleading the Gotham police, making them suspect that it was done by killers sent by the Wayne family.

"Where is Claw now? Can we see what he looks like?" Bruce asked curiously.
