Chapter 179 The Bat Family Meeting (Please subscribe and vote!)
Because the addition of a cub to the bat family was a bit of a big deal, Dick, Cassandra, and Helena all asked Mr. Sang for leave and did not participate in tonight's training session.

After traveling through the Boom Portal to Nashville to meet Barbara and reviewing the information Isaac had sent, the four, with slightly mixed feelings, didn't linger and used the Boom Portal again to return to Wayne Manor in Gotham City.

In the bat cave beneath Wayne Manor, Stephanie, wanting to improve her combat skills since there were no patrol duties that night, sought out Damian for sparring.

Meanwhile, Alfred, the butler of the Bat-family, stood quietly to the side watching. Beside him was a small food cart with water and towels that he had prepared in advance.

Just as Alfred was about to go over and tell the two to take a break after Stephanie was easily defeated by Damian, the unique sound of the sonic boom emanating from the Batcave echoed.

“Young Master Dick, Miss Cassandra, Miss Barbara, and Miss Helena, why are you all back all of a sudden? Wait, who is this child?”

He subconsciously got up and looked in the direction of the sonic boom device. What came into Alfred's view was four figures walking out of the sonic boom—Dick's group of four, who had taken leave to come back.

After greeting them, Alfred's gaze was drawn to the baby Dick was holding. For some reason, he felt a sense of familiarity about the baby's face.

Faced with Alfred's question, Cassandra and the other two following behind Dick all turned their heads away, adopting an attitude of "I don't know anything, don't ask me."

Dick was left alone with the old butler, unable to pretend to be stupid because he was holding a child. He couldn't help but curse his girlfriend and two sisters in his heart for being disloyal.

"Good evening, Alfred. Let's talk about the child after everyone's here. I've already notified Jason and Tim; they should be on their way back."

However, Dick quickly forced a smile and, after greeting the old butler, swiftly changed the subject.

After all, good brothers should share both good times and bad. He wouldn't tell his two younger brothers about this before they arrived, which is how a good older brother should behave.

"Are young master Jason and young master Tim coming back too? I'll go prepare some late-night snacks and desserts first."

Seeing Dick's expression of "I'd rather die than tell you now," Alfred, who had raised him and knew his character well, didn't press him further. Instead, he focused his attention on the fact that Jason and Tim were also coming back.

As an elderly man, Alfred, like many others his age, loved seeing his children gathered together in a lively and joyful atmosphere. So when he learned that the children would be coming home tonight, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

Shortly after Alfred left the Batcave, two figures drove their motorcycles into the Batcave one after the other, accompanied by the roar of engines.

"Hey Jason, Tim, long time no see."

Seeing Jason and Tim walking towards them after parking their motorcycles, Dick, who had already handed the baby over to Barbara, immediately smiled and greeted his two younger brothers.

"Did you call me back so suddenly because of something urgent, Dick?" Jason nodded slightly in response to Dick's greeting and then asked impatiently. After all, he had been quite busy lately and didn't have time to waste on trivial little activities.

After unexpectedly learning that Bruce had established an organization called the Teen Titans and appointed Dick as its leader, Jason began to think about forming his own team. He has been looking for suitable teammates and never falls behind.

"Aha~ yeah, what's the matter that you called me back in such a hurry? There's a bunch of documents at the company waiting for me to deal with."

Unlike Jason, who seemed a bit anxious, Tim looked extremely tired. He first yawned deeply before asking Dick, his older brother, for his questions.

Because Bruce has been busy with various other things lately, Tim has been sent to Wayne Enterprises to work in his father's place. During the day, he is responsible for handling documents that should have been handled by Bruce, the chairman, and at night he patrols Gotham City. He has been severely sleep-deprived lately.

"Wait, who's that child Barbara's holding? When did you two secretly have a child behind our backs?!"

Jason, who was scanning the Batcave as if searching for a figure, noticed the baby being held in Barbara's arms and couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

"What! That's not right, I haven't seen any signs of pregnancy on Barbara before!"

Upon hearing Jason's exclamation, Tim, who had been drowsy and almost falling asleep on the spot, suddenly woke up and stared wide-eyed in the direction of Barbara and the others.

However, unlike Jason, who relied entirely on his imagination, Tim quickly realized that they had met with Barbara frequently over the past year, and if she were really pregnant, it was impossible for them not to notice.

Faced with his two younger brothers' rather imaginative guesses, Dick covered his face in exasperation, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Young Master Jason, Young Master Tim, what are you talking about that makes you so excited?"

Just as the atmosphere became somewhat strange due to Jason and Tim's conversation, Alfred's voice suddenly rang out, breaking the tension.

"Hi, good evening, Alfred."

Upon seeing the old butler pushing a food cart toward them, Jason and Tim quickly greeted him before turning their attention back to their older brother.

"Now that everyone's here, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. Please sit down and don't be frightened. This child has Bruce's genes! Little Barnacles, thank you for your help."

After everyone found their seats, Dick took the baby back into his arms, cleared his throat, and then solemnly revealed the baby's origins. He then instructed Barbara to use the Batcomputer to release the information Isaac had sent her.
