American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 166 The Secret of the Death of Thomas Wayne and his Wife
Sophia quickly revealed all the collusion between her father and Batman. Just what Sophia knew was enough to shock Xiao Xian. Finally, under Sophia's guidance, the information Xiao Xian found in her father's secret room shocked Xiao Xian even more.

Hiring someone to kill someone to solve a political or business rival is nothing big. What really makes Xiao Xian feel abstract about Batman is that he has not been a good person since he was a child. He taught his classmates a lesson, asked Falcone to castrate the rival who stole his girlfriend, and the most outrageous thing is that he hired someone to murder his parents.

That’s right, the parents of Bruce Wayne in this universe were actually assassinated by Bruce Wayne himself.

Based on Falcone's secret investigations over the years and the various intelligence he obtained from Bruce at the time, Falcone roughly guessed what happened back then.

It turns out that the Bruce Wayne in this world is not actually Thomas Wayne's biological son, but the child born to Martha Wayne and someone else.

Because Martha Wayne came from the Kane family, one of the four major families in Gotham City, Martha Wayne bribed the hospital where Thomas Wayne did a paternity test, so Thomas Wayne didn't notice anything unusual.

It was not until Bruce Wayne grew up that Thomas Wayne discovered that Bruce Wayne did not look much like himself. He became suspicious and secretly asked someone to do a paternity test again. Only then did he realize that he had been raising children for others.

However, when Thomas Wayne discovered that Bruce Wayne was not his biological son, he neither made it public nor asked for a divorce. Instead, he kept the news secret.

Thomas Wayne certainly did this not because he had any special hobbies, but because he had his eyes on the Kane family's wealth and power. This was also why he married Martha.

It’s just that Thomas Wayne originally intended to pass on his wealth and power to his descendants through the union of the two parties in marriage.

Now that he knows Bruce Wayne is not his biological son, Thomas Wayne is no longer polite. He plans to kill Martha first to let Bruce inherit the Kane family's wealth and power, and then kill Bruce, the bastard, and gather the wealth and power of the two big families in Gotham by himself to become the king of Gotham.

On the other hand, Martha Wayne, who is addicted to cheating, also has a new love. This time she is involved with Thomas Elliot, the little puppy of the Elliot family.

Unlike Martha Wayne's previous lovers, this time Thomas Elliot helped Martha Wayne formulate a plan to kill Thomas Wayne first, then kill Bruce Wayne, and finally marry him with the two families' wealth, so that their children would gather the wealth and power of three of the four major families in Gotham.

His parents wanted to kill him, and there was a Thomas Elliot outside who was eyeing him covetously, and he knew nothing about it. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been dead in such a situation, but Bruce Wayne was not an ordinary person. He first overheard the phone call between Martha Wayne and Thomas Elliot by chance, and then sneaked into his father Thomas Wayne's secret room and found the paternity test certificate proving that he was not his biological son.

Although he knew that his parents were going to kill him, Bruce Wayne had no choice but to pretend he didn't know and secretly look for a way out. Although Bruce Wayne was nominally the heir to two big families, the ten-year-old Bruce Wayne actually had no confidants of his own and didn't even have the freedom to move around freely. Even when he went to the toilet, his butler Alfu was watching him outside.

Logically speaking, the situation at this time was nothing more than a dead end for Bruce Wayne, but it turned out that Batman always had a way. However, Falcone didn't know what method Bruce Wayne used. The only thing Falcone knew was that soon, Alfred, the butler who was originally loyal to Thomas Wayne and even helped Thomas Wayne block bullets more than once, secretly found Falcone.

Alfred paid Falcone to carry out a shooting against Bruce Wayne's parents, and promised that he would make Falcone the godfather of the gang after the shooting.

Of course Falcone, who was just a small boss at the time, wanted to take on such a big job, but Falcone knew his own strength. He had no ability to find out the whereabouts of Thomas Wayne and his wife, let alone break through their security.

Alfu told Falcone not to worry, he only needed to arrange people to guard the Crime Alley at the back door of the theater, and then Thomas Wayne and his wife would naturally appear there, and the security would be sent away.

So Falcone took the order and arranged a killer to guard Crime Alley. As expected, Thomas Wayne appeared there that day without any security.

Then, Bruce Wayne, who was only ten years old, inherited the wealth and power of the two big families, and step by step, he took control of the family foundation and the board of directors of Wayne Enterprises.
Then came the era of superheroes. Bruce Wayne, under the guise of Batman, fought super criminals and wiped out his former enemies one by one. Gotham also changed from a city dominated by four major families to a city dominated by Bruce Wayne alone.

Thomas Elliot was forced to remain silent, Oswald Cobblepot was forced to become the Penguin, and all politicians and wealthy people who did not obey Bruce Wayne were labeled as members of the Court of Owls and then brought down.

With the rise of Batman, Falcone, who has always followed Batman, has gradually grown into the Godfather of Gotham. Of course, in the eyes of the gangsters, Falcone is the Godfather of Gotham, but Falcone knows that he is just a tool in Bruce Wayne's hands to do the dirty work.

Because he was afraid that Bruce Wayne would abandon him, Falcone had been collecting all kinds of intelligence and evidence about Batman for many years and hiding them in secret rooms and other places. Once Falcone met with an accident, the evidence would be automatically announced, bringing Bruce Wayne to ruin.

After reading Bruce Wayne's information, Xiao Xian raised his eyebrows. Falcone didn't know why Alfu would help Bruce Wayne, but Xiao Xian guessed the reason, but he didn't know if his guess was correct.

After all, whether it is wealth, power, love, or women, Bruce Wayne can't offer a higher price than his father Thomas Wayne to persuade the butler Alfred to turn against and assassinate Thomas Wayne, with whom he has a life-and-death relationship, unless... the man who cheated on Thomas Wayne and gave birth to Bruce Wayne with Martha Wayne is Alfred.

Only for the sake of his own son's life would Alfu betray Thomas Wayne without hesitation, risking death after being discovered, and help Bruce Wayne get rid of Thomas Wayne and his wife.
