Chapter 34 - 8 Meeting Batman (2/2)

He spoke out loud, ”You took your time. I thought you will be here much sooner. It seems the traffic in Gotham is very bad. ”

It doesn't take a genius to figure out with whom he is talking to.

A hoarse voice came in reply, ” So what do you wish to talk to me about?”

” You should try holding back those punches you throw around in public. It hurts.” Thomas replied without turning back.

Batman shifted uncomfortably in his place when Thomas spoke those words.

” How did you discover my identity?” Batman didn't doubt that Thomas has figured out his identity or there won't be that secret message on the letter he sent him.

” It isn't that difficult. You have always been trying to object the presence of Batman, you were a bit too extreme in your interviews.

Then all the techs that Batman uses are too costly for some average person to use. ” this point is something that Batman agrees with may be one of the core reasons.

” Above all else, you both came in Gotham at the same time. Your arrival is the biggest reason for me. ” he explained three reasons why he was able to discover his identity.

” Your punches are similar to a martial arts expert. I have seen many such people and they are responsible for the safety of my family.

A lazy-ass playboy who have the skill greater than those people and can have knock put power, made me sure you are who you are.” Thomas said with a smile on his face.

Although it seems like a simple smile, Batman felt that he was mocking him.

He felt at that very moment, he hasn't taught that boy a lesson yet. He wanted to wreck him so hard that no one can recognise him.

He wished to make him feel as uncomfortable as he is feeling under Thomas gaze. This gaze made him feel like he knows all his secrets.

Then he remembered something about Thomas.

” So did you deal with those who attacked your family?” Batman asked him.

It isn't a secret. Almost everyone worth his salt or enough powers in the United States knows about the incident where his family was attacked.

They even know who dealt with the one's related to this.

This isn't a warning to Batman but he is simply stating a fact.

” And, if I dare to?” Batman tried to be strong.

Thomas stood from his reclining chair and walked to edge of the balcony abd looks at the city in front of his eye, ” Then I will take away the one thing which is most precious to you.” His reply shocked Batman.

He never asked how he will do it or what he is going to do. Thomas eyes said everything.

He doesn't want to overstay his visit and gets to the point. He has a gut feeling, the longer he stays the more difficult it will get for him.

And he has also managed to anger Thomas with his words if that last warning was anything to go by.

” So what do you wish to get from me in order to keep my identity hidden?” Batman finally asked the main reason for coming to his place on Hotel Zeus.
