But it shouldn't be, right?
At most, Wayne would confirm with Batman whether he truly valued Theodore's talent. He wouldn't be so bored as to verify every detail of their acquaintance, would he?
Reassuring himself, Theodore organized his thoughts for the rest of the story and continued to boast.
"After that ti, Batman thought I had a lot of talent in that area."
"He would secretly take from the orphanage every night, train in various martial arts skills under the cover of darkness, and teach detective skills..."
Before he finished speaking, across from Theodore, Wayne suddenly shifted uncomfortably.
The man's tone was a bit strange as he repeated Theodore's original words. "You said he taught you a full set of detective skills."
"Yes." Theodore bared his pearly white teeth and smiled chillingly at Wayne.
What's wrong, feeling guilty? Have you finally realized that I've seen through your unspeakable true colors?
Don't even think about tricking , it won't work! I'm soone who's been trained in detective skills by Batman!
Wayne averted his eyes, looking as if he wanted to speak but didn't: "Nothing, I suddenly thought of sothing else... You continue."
If he dared to listen, Theodore dared to make it up.
"After learning that I was adopted by you, Batman was very disappointed. He said he didn't think a child adopted by Wayne could beco Robin, because a life of luxury and indulgence would corrupt people's willpower..."
Damn it!
Hearing this, Tim could no longer hold back and burst into laughter, rolling on the soft carpeted floor. Don't say any more, Theodore. For your own good, please don't say any more.
Even if you consider Bruce—what kind of expression should he have towards you when he hears these words! If Theodore continues to make things up like this, Tim will really have a hard ti explaining to him.
—About the fact that all the boys adopted by Bruce (except Theodore) from the luxurious Bat Family have served as Robin or Gotham vigilantes.
Bruce bravely maintained his thoughtful expression.
Even under Theodore's high-frequency verbal assault, his expression remained unmoving.
"Hmm, I understand. You an you've already broken ties with Batman, is that right?"
"Of course not!"
Theodore flatly denied this speculation.
Now, Batman was his protective shield; how could he voluntarily remove his talisman in front of Wayne?
"I begged Batman not to give up on , and he couldn't bear to part with my talent. So later, he still agreed to continue training —that's why Batman secretly took out tonight."
Bruce: If, at first, putting away his frivolous smile disguised as Gotham Baby was Batman controlling variables, wanting to see where Bruce was similar to Theodore's previous adoptive father.
Then now, Batman might really not be able to smile... Or rather, he had to try his best to stop himself from laughing in another sense.
Bruce Wayne pretended to clear his throat.
"May I ask, what part of your talent exactly couldn't Batman bear to part with?" Theodore fell into brief contemplation.
Should he claim his skills were exceptionally good?
It seed plausible. This statent would also serve to deter Wayne, warning him not to act rashly.
But if Wayne beca interested in testing him and sent professional bodyguards to spar with Theodore, this lie would fall apart.
The collapse of the lie would trigger a series of chain reactions. By then, Wayne would probably settle scores with him.
So, Theodore had better choose a talent he truly possessed, one that was not easily exposed or tested. After much thought, the most suitable one was indeed...
Theodore said decisively: "My deduction skills."
Even if Wayne suspected Theodore, he couldn't drag him to a cri scene and throw a case at him to solve.
The level of his deduction skills was entirely up to Theodore to make up.
