Chapter 35 - 9 (1/2)

” I will get the things you want to be done. Contact Fox tomorrow. He will make all.the arrangements for this done. ” He said before leaving in a similar fashion he arrived.

He glided away from the balcony and headed off to make his night rounds.

” Is there a reason, why you decided to threaten him like that, master?” Lisa asked him as she projects herself as a hologram and appeared with Thomas.

Thomas simply smiled and didn't answer her. He heads inside the penthouse and decided to make himself a drink.

He felt there is no need to add other people in their little secret. The lesser people know about the fact, the better.

” Let's just say he is a good son. And leave it at that. ” with those words he headed inside, leaving a confused Artificial Intelligence.

His drink doesn't mean wine, whiskey or anything alcoholic. Some drink to enjoy the intoxicated state, some just for fun, and some because it is good for health.

But Thomas doesn't like to drink. He remembered drinking once in his last life when he completed high school and went to the picnic with his friends back then.

He entered the kitchen with a bag he carried with himself. He picked out some fresh oranges and started to shed their skin and run them through the grinder.

He used the strainer and added a pinch of salt and some ice cubes from the fridge and took a sip.

He is addicted to oranges. The taste of them whether it be as fruit or as the juice is something he liked more than anything.

To savor his addiction, he even bought many orchards around the world. These orchards specialise in Valencia Orange, Navel orange as well as Clementine Orange variety.

Thomas makes sure than enough stock of these oranges are left for himself to enjoy. His stock is completely separate, not even his family is allowed to touch it.

In this matter, he is not willing to share. Not a single piece is shared with anyone.

As for whether they earn him a profit or not, it is never a question.

After he drunk the juice and went to another drink, he looks towards Lisa who has some question for himself.

” What about Mr. Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot? Are you going to agree to that deal he offered?” Lisa asked him.

This Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot is a very popular character in any series related to Gotham and Batman, for one very important reason, he is one of the main rivals and opponent of Batman.

He is popularly known as Penguin. This man is of short and chubby stature and wears a tuxedo, top hat, monocle, white gloves, and spats.

He is an eccentric criminal mastermind, known as much for his love of ornithology and trick umbrellas as for his already shady business dealings.

The distinguishing feature of penguin and other villains of Batman is very contrasting.
