Chapter 144 Superman’s First Punch

Fire departments in the United States are divided into public and private parts.

Just like hospitals, schools, prisons, and even police departments.

Like the above-mentioned departments, private fire stations respond quickly, quickly and efficiently, but they charge high fees and only serve paying users.

If your neighbor has paid but you have not, then after receiving the fire alarm, the private fire station will just watch your home being burned down, and then use a water cannon to extinguish the flames burning towards your neighbor until you

The home was burned to the ground.

The public fire department is theoretically responsible for all places, but the fire trucks will not light their engines without a three-day meeting.

Chen Guang didn't need money, so he joined the state public fire bureau, so that the entire urban area fell within his scope of responsibility, without having to identify who spent the money. As long as there was a fire, he would be there.

The result is... Gotham's private fire stations are receiving less and less money, and finally they began to complain to the government's public fire stations, saying that what they did was disrupting the market economy...

Then Gotham's public fire department really fired Chen Guang on the grounds of disrupting the market economy.

Being fired for this kind of thing, Chen Guang was mentally prepared.

In fact, Gotham was not the first fire station where he was fired. Before that, he had also worked as a firefighter in Central City, Star City, and Metropolis. It was not until Carl was old enough to go to school that he came to Gotham.

Tan.

So in fact, perhaps in Karl's view, the father and son have been living a life of no fixed abode.

"But, I am proud of my father."

In Gotham Park, Carl was eating cheap ice cream with another kid of the same age.

There was cream on the corner of his mouth, ice cream in one hand, and his cross-legged legs in the other hand as he sat on the lawn, with his chest held high, looking at the sun in the sky, and said with great pride.

Chen Guang never restricted Carl from eating snacks. If sugar could defeat Superman, then Chen Guang would be laughing his ass off.

Next to him, Bruce Wayne, who was wearing a small black suit and his hair was slicked back and styled with mousse, dressed like a little adult, was eating cheap milk ice cream that he had never eaten before and fell into deep thought after hearing this.

So he slowly said: "So, what is your family's source of income?"

At first, Bruce thought that Carl's father was a private firefighter. If his monthly income was more diligent, there were no miscellaneous additional expenses, and people were saving, and he could save money for a few years, he could afford Carl to go to this school.

Not surprising.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a public firefighter... This...

Hearing this, Karl looked around nervously, and whispered to Bruce in a low voice: "My father said that I have noble blood... I guess he is the kind of low-key rich man who is actually

Test me and tell me when I grow up that my family is actually a multi-millionaire?"

Bruce took another bite of the cone, thought seriously for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "It's not impossible!"

"Puch..."

A passing adult behind the two couldn't help laughing when he heard these words.

Both Karl and Bruce looked at the man behind them with dissatisfaction, but the other person said indifferently: "It's so cute. I thought so when I was young. It wasn't until I was 20 years old that I couldn't help but ask my father, and he was serious and serious.

Tell me seriously..."

This caught the attention of the two children, and they both listened. The man laughed loudly and said, "My father seriously told me that he is also waiting for my grandfather to finish his test, hahahaha!"

The man walked while laughing and came to a mother and son. His wife also laughed and said: "Jack, this is a great joke. You always make us happy."

The man named Jack was surprised and said: "Really? I just said casually, if this joke is good, maybe I can use him to participate in the talk show next time, so that we don't have to rent a shabby place like that."

He walked up to the two of them and took the child's other hand, while his wife smiled and said: "It's okay, Jack, I will be happy to be with you, no matter where I live."

Carl and Bruce watched the family of three leave with speechless expressions, feeling that the ice cream in their mouths no longer tasted good.

The two stood up, and Bruce invited Karl: "Are you coming to my house as a guest? I told my dad about you, and he is very interested in you. He thinks I am lucky to have a friend like you.

.”

Carl seemed very happy when he heard Bruce's words. Being recognized by his friend's parents is certainly a happy thing.

But he still shook his head and said: "No, dad may go out to look for work today. If he comes home after a tiring day and finds that I am not there, he will be worried. When our family situation stabilizes, I will tell my dad

I’ll go to your house to play later.”

Bruce nodded with some disappointment, and then suddenly had an idea: "By the way, I'm going to ask my father today. If he agrees, we can invite your father to come to my house for dinner."

Karl said happily: "Okay, it's a deal!"

Bruce and Carl arrived at the entrance of the park, and there was a man waiting for him. He was an old gentleman wearing a tuxedo, with gray hair on his temples, and standing straight. He had obviously been standing here, waiting for Bruce and his friends.

Play time is over.

Looking at Bruce's small figure, Alfred couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips and said softly: "Master, it's time to go home."

Then he took a step back and opened the door of the black Lincoln. Bruce climbed into the back seat by himself. After Alfred closed the door, he waved goodbye to Carl through the car window.

After returning to Wayne Manor, dinner time began soon after.

There is a family of three living in Wayne Manor, and it is difficult for Alfred alone to take care of all aspects. Therefore, as the housekeeper, he still has more than a dozen maids, cooks, gardeners, etc. to carry out daily work.

At the dinner table, Bruce happily told Thomas Wayne what happened at school. Although Martha seemed a little absent-minded, Thomas still listened carefully.

After hearing the last conversation with Karl, Thomas thought for a moment. He also felt that the father of the child named Karl Chen should be hiding something.

"Is Chen Guang right? I seem to have heard of this name."

Thomas Wayne touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "He is indeed a hero worthy of the name. In fact, not only Gotham, he has some fans in Central City, Star City, and even Metropolis."

"He never asked for monetary compensation for firefighting, and there was never a single casualty in any firefighting operation he participated in... In fact, there was almost no firefighting operation that he did not participate in. He was always the first to arrive at the scene, and many people

They say he might have some superpower."

Little Bruce held up the knife and fork with both hands, and his eyes brightened when he heard it: "Wow! It turns out that Carl's father is so powerful!"

Thomas smiled and rubbed Bruce's head: "Your father is also very powerful. Although he has not directly rescued others, the charity foundation established by me helps tens of thousands of poor people and orphans every year.

.Bruce, everyone has different talents, and those who use their abilities to help more people are considered heroes."

Little Bruce shook his legs and nodded happily: "Yes! My father is also a hero!"

Martha suddenly said: "I'm a little tired, let's go take a rest."

Then he stood up, walked around the dining table, kissed Bruce, ignored Thomas, and walked straight to his bedroom.

Bruce blinked, a little confused. Thomas looked at the untouched food on Martha's plate and rubbed his forehead with a headache.

Before Bruce could ask anything, Thomas took the initiative to divert his son's attention and said with a smile: "You said Carl's father lost his job recently, right? Maybe I can provide him with a new job? One that can maximize his abilities.

Work...actually."

As he spoke, he called Alfred who was waiting on the side and ordered: "Alfred, help me acquire a private fire station. Although our fire protection products have been officially put into use, it is always good to be prepared for any emergencies."

.”

Alfred accepted the order and left. Bruce clapped his hands happily and said, "Really? That's great! I told Carl before that we could let his father come to our house as a guest, so I just took this opportunity to tell him.

"

Thomas rubbed Bruce's nose and smiled: "Okay, little clever guy, you can invite Carl and his father to come to our house for dinner."

Chen Guang returned home with a paper bag of contracts.

Their home is an ordinary apartment in the city center. Most of the surrounding residents have stable jobs, and there are no criminals or drug addicts.

In the past, Chen Guang should have taken Karl to other cities, but this time, for Karl's studies, Chen Guang directly used his money ability.

Today he went to acquire a private fire station. After being an American firefighter for so long, he had almost mastered the process. With a little bit of his own personal prestige, acquiring a private fire station that was already poorly managed was as simple as it could be.

But that's it.

It's just that I don't know who spread the word that Wayne Enterprises was also going to enter the fire protection industry. As a result, the price of the recent fire station increased a lot in response, costing Chen Guang a lot of money.

As for where the money came from... Chen Guang, who didn't want to use the dark dimension for the time being, went to Gotham's port terminal.

I have to say that the gangs here are really like cash machines, you can always get cash whenever you come.

And Karl had been waiting for him at home early.

Chen Guang put the contract on the dining table and found some food on the dining table.

On his plate, there are three slices of toast bread of different thicknesses, smeared with a layer of blueberry jam. In the center of the table, there is a portion of General Tso's Chicken bought from a Chinese restaurant, and an additional portion.

Salad with mayonnaise.

Chen Guang raised his eyebrows, looked at Karl who had a small face on the side, waiting for praise, and asked: "Did you do all this?"

Karl scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I bought it with my pocket money...because I thought it would be very hard for Dad to go out to find a job today, and I didn't want you to have to cook when you come back, so I bought a piece of toast."

And Chinese food…”

Chen Guang laughed, pinched Karl's little face, and then went to the kitchen to wash his hands.

But looking at the mess in the kitchen, Karl hid behind the kitchen door and said timidly: "Actually... I originally planned to make a sandwich for my father, but I just felt that eating a sandwich at night would not be nutritious.

talent……"

Chen Guang looked at the charcoal on the grill pan and thought to himself, do you call this a sandwich?
