The Andrew Hotel, where "Ice Moon Flower Snow" Xue Xi was staying.
"This afternoon, I recorded a video for my supporters, telling them there will be a large magic show at the Stadium tomorrow."
"I think the outfit I wore for the video is very beautiful, don't you?"
Even though the concert had been canceled, Xue Xi still wore light makeup and the strapless, hip-hugging dress she had changed into for the afternoon's recording.
Being a form-fitting style, the dress perfectly accentuated Xue Xi's figure. The silver-gray base with white diamond embellishments added a touch of mysterious elegance to the star singer.
Facing Xue Xi's question, Connors looked her over carefully from head to toe and then said:
"You can only wear this dress once."
"How can that be? I designed this myself, of course I won't just wear it once and throw it away." Xue Xi didn't understand.
But soon, the wear and tear on the knees of the dress, as well as the deformation of the fabric caused by excessive movement, made her understand why Connors said she "can only wear it once."
Wearing a luxurious dress actually had a unique flavor. Connors lit a post-coital cigarette.
"Young Master Wayne, it's time for your rehabilitation training."
Butler Alfred urged him, but Bruce Wayne, who should have been doing rehabilitation training with the help of a body brace, was currently assembling pieces of armor onto himself with the help of mechanical arms.
This Batman suit had a larger silhouette than previous tight-fitting suits, with an internal auxiliary power system and cushioning and support structures along the entire back.
The fully suited Bruce Wayne looked like a heavy humanoid armor, with his cape trailing long behind him on the ground.
"Gotham and Robin need me."
Bruce Wayne used Connors's term for Dick Grayson, "Robin."
Butler Alfred stepped forward, helping Batman move the temporarily removed body brace aside, and asked:
"Even though Young Master Patterson is currently the only person besides 'Flash' Barry who knows that 'Batman' and 'Bruce' are the same guy, are you still not at ease about him?"
Batman said nothing, and with the help of the bat armor, he agilely jumped into the batmobile.
Connors's way of doing things was too strange. Batman even worried that the other party might misunderstand his meaning and instead go help Robin catch the murderer of his parents.
Even though he hadn't gone out these past few days, Batman had used his detective skills to deduce that the deaths of the Graysons were related to an outsider.
And this outsider was the manager of the female celebrity Xue Xi, who was originally supposed to have dinner with him.
Outside the hotel room where Xue Xi and Connors were staying, a young man with a hooked nose listened with a gloomy expression to the laughter inside, his fists clenching repeatedly.
He was one of the star singer Xue Xi's managers and suitors.
That night, when he knocked on Xue Xi's door at midnight, dressed in a suit and holding flowers, he thought he would take advantage of Xue Xi's illness to control her, but he was mercilessly rejected.
As he entered the elevator to return to his own room, he heard the sound of a door opening from Xue Xi's room again. The star singer ran alone towards the hotel rooftop.
The manager thought this was his chance to seal the deal and quietly followed her. Then he saw a scene that almost made his back teeth shatter:
Xue Xi was kneeling on the ground with her back towards him, and standing in front of her was a tall, muscular man.
The glamorous goddess on stage was actually like this in private. The manager stumbled back to his room, his soul distraught.
But soon he came up with a plan, intending to create a major accident that would cause the star's career to be affected by public opinion and plummet to rock bottom, and also break up the two of them.
So, before the "Flying Graysons" circus performance began, the manager had already dripped a liquid that could rapidly age elastic fibers onto all the ropes.
According to his plan, this family, old and young, would fall heavily from a great height into the audience when the circus performance reached its climax.
However, he did not expect that the opening warm-up act of the "Flying Graysons" would be so intense, and the ropes broke even before their eight-year-old child officially entered the stage.
Only the Grayson couple died, and the audience was unharmed, which made it difficult to cause a huge public outcry.
But Connors also did not appear again, and the manager thought that was the end of it.
Today, he was still wearing a white suit that matched Xue Xi's silver-gray dress quite well, trying to further open the heart of the beauty.
However, the muffled smacking sounds from inside, despite being blocked by the soundproof door, made him want to rush in and strangle the other person on the spot.
If one time isn't enough to teach you a lesson, then let's do it again. At tomorrow's magic show, the death toll will not be less than one hundred...
The manager took a deep breath and then continued to listen to the seductive sounds coming from the goddess in the room, a pathological smile appearing on his face.
After this battle, the hormones left by "Poison Ivy" Ivy in Xue Xi's body should completely disappear, and Xue Xi, who had only interacted with him based on these hormones, should also return to normal.
Connors finished the last puff of his post-coital cigarette, then got dressed. This time, he didn't jump out the window, but stepped onto the soft carpet and opened the hotel room door.
Outside the door, a lewd man with a hooked nose, wearing a white suit, was tilting his ear, looking like he was eavesdropping.
Connors said nothing, directly grabbed the other person's collar with one hand and lifted him up, then walked to the elevator side.
There was a small window here, used for ventilation.
Casually throwing the hooked-nosed man out the window, Connors followed closely, leaping down.
Amidst the hooked-nosed lewd man's wailing and howling, the two bodies plummeted rapidly. Only when they were about to hit the ground did Connors use his Grandmaster-level Little Trick to slow down, landing lightly on the ground.
"Who are you! Did I fall to my death?" The hooked-nosed man's first reaction was to check if he was missing any limbs.
Although he had fallen from a high altitude and his legs were weak, after realizing that there was no pain anywhere in his body, the hooked-nosed man's fiercely beating heart finally calmed down a bit.
But his heart quickly accelerated again, because before they jumped off the building, Connors had come out of Xue Xi's room.
And he also recognized that Connors was the man who was with Xue Xi on the rooftop and also sat with her in the circus audience.
So, ignoring his weak legs, he threw a punch.
Crack!
Breaking an arm was no different from breaking a match. Connors broke the guy's fist with one hand, and because he didn't want to smell blood, he thoughtfully didn't let the broken bone pierce the skin.
Without any further nonsense with this guy, Connors covered his head with a cloth and threw him into the passenger seat of the supercar that the rich man Bruce Wayne had just given him. He drove all the way to the Gotham Stadium.
The Stadium was illuminated by several bright lights. Because the "Flying Graysons" had an accident here before, the circus stage setup was still maintained until now.
And on the stage, a small figure was kneeling on the ground, motionless.
After escaping from Wayne Manor, Dick Grayson, without parents or a home, subconsciously came to this stage where he had performed for the last time.
