"Vanessa, I want to ask you something...oh no, it's not about your aunt..." Robert rushed into Vanessa while she was in the bathroom and closed the door without saying a word.<
/p>
Vanessa gave Robert a strange look: "What's wrong? It's not about my aunt. Do you still have any questions about me? Please, my whole body..."
"Oak, we can pause this topic for a moment!" Robert raised his hands in surrender.
"But regarding the current inquiry, I am not simply joking. If your next answer is adulterated in the slightest, I cannot guarantee that what I will do next will be what you want to see."
"Are you sure? It seems that I am not the only defenseless woman in our family now." Vanessa wiped her platinum hair with a towel, half-smiling.
Seeing that Robert's face was getting more embarrassed, she stopped teasing and said seriously: "Ask me, Mr. Robert..."
"Pfft... If such a tone can make you feel more at ease, I will be happy to cooperate."
Robert simply asked directly: "Odessa family, what is going on? I have never heard that you are from this family."
Vanessa let out a "ha" and stretched lazily: "So this is what you are asking about. My lord is really bored..."
Vanessa's face turned serious: "If you want to be serious, I am indeed a member of this so-called Odessa family, but like someone who immigrated from England or Frank in Gotham City
Same...if you don't count it carefully, I can't be considered a member of the Odessa family..."
"I'm just a marginal character at best. If my father were still alive, he might still be able to speak. But now, if I want to admit that I am a member of the family, they won't admit it."<
/p>
Robert nodded thoughtfully.
It turns out that Vanessa is a marginalized figure in the Odessa family... Her white-blond hair is quite consistent with the Ukrainian descendants, a symbol of the Odessa family lineage...
This could also explain Vanessa's wealth.
After all, although the Odessa family is not as good as the four major families in Gotham, it is also one of the twelve major families in Gotham under the four major families.
Even though this family started as a gangster force, they are still active in the dark stage of Gotham City.
However, Vanessa is only a marginal figure in the family, and has little relationship with the powerful faction in the family. Even now, she has completely cut off contact...it will not affect Robert's plan to leave Gotham at all...
Of course, if the Odessa family wants to do something, Robert's fist will not allow it. Investigating the situation now is just to prevent problems in the future.
"So are you satisfied with my response?" Vanessa half-smiled.
Robert held the door handle and was about to push the door open when Vanessa's right leg was placed directly in front of him.
"Your turn is over, so how are you going to respond to my turn?" Vanessa narrowed her eyes.
……
Robert let out a long sigh and finally finished this afternoon's exercise. He was just about to stop and end the pull-up exercise so that he could relax the muscles of his arms.
But Vanessa, the supervisor, would not let Robert go easily. She said softly: "Robert, I have something to tell you... I have a cousin in the country who is coming to join me in a few days. My aunt wants to do this for me."
If you ask for something from me, you won’t refuse it... My cousin is very cute..."
Robert nodded and agreed without thinking about it: "This villa is your property, and you are free to let whoever you want to live in it."
"Thank you for understanding." Vanessa kissed Robert.
"By the way, can you let go?"
"Oh oh, sorry Robert."
When Robert came out of the bathroom, he met Carol standing with her arms folded.
Seeing this, Robert couldn't help but sigh, this elderly superhero really has unusual interests, and he is so obsessed with the life of his young partner.
"What? Do you have any special feeling when doing pull-ups in the bathroom? Is the space cramped? Or is it a different experience filled with odor?" Carol came forward.
Robert held the other person's shoulders and asked her to move away from him: "Is it a cramped feeling? It is indeed there. Is it a strange smell? It is indeed there. But it is a special feeling. I don't know if it is really special, so I can't tell you accurately.
Your answer...well, you shouldn't stay in the middle of the road, it will bother me a lot."
Carol turned sideways and gave way. She smiled and said: "Young man, if this is just a fig leaf for you to hide your weakness, I think you might as well just shout to me, 'I'm not strong enough yet'. This might make me respect your
Honesty is impressive.”
"Haha." Robert sneered twice and stopped talking to this aunt whose interest had gone astray.
However, Carroll's words are not without some truth.
Maybe it was because the noise in the bathroom was too quiet, so she subconsciously equated the loudness of the sound with the strength of the sound.
And when she got up sleepily from the bed in the guest room on the first floor of the villa early the next morning, she deeply believed that she was wrong. What she said to Robert yesterday was like the self-mockery of a loser who was ruthless and jealous.
"Ms. Carroll." Robert nodded.
Carol didn't dare to take a closer look at the young man. She sat on the chair and enjoyed Vanessa's omelette. She glanced at Vanessa, who looked as usual, and said after careful consideration: "Niece, I said yesterday
I seemed to hear the noise of mice at night, which kept me awake all night long. Maybe you can find a professional cleaner... There should be such a profession nearby to clean up these annoying mice." p>
Vanessa tilted her head: "We really need to hire a cleaner. Our villa will welcome a new guest later."
"The new guests are from the Odessa family?" Carol asked doubtfully.
"Ding dong, ding dong!"
Vanessa stood up: "Here, I'll open the door!"
"Cousin!"
"Cousin, you are still as young and beautiful as ever, huh? Is it my imagination? Your face is a bit rosier than when I saw you two years ago."
The sound of wheels pulling suitcases keeps approaching the living room.
When the sound came closer, Robert stood up in time.
But when he saw the girl with platinum hair and a childish look in front of him, his outstretched right hand couldn't help but hesitate.
The starlight of the black-robed pickets?!
She is actually Vanessa's cousin?
Vanessa pulled Annie to her side and introduced her: "Anne Kosovo, my dear cousin, she used to live in a farm near Gotham City. Recently, she has to apply for a job in Gotham City, so she lives here temporarily.
In our villa."
Robert nodded: "Nice to meet you. I'm Robert, a reporter from the Daily Bugle."
"Reporter from the Daily Bugle?" Anne was slightly startled, but before she had time to think about it, she was attracted by Carol's words.
"Anne Odessa's bloodline is really good!" Carol's eyes lit up.
"I am your grandmother's good sister. You should be little Anlin's daughter. Little Anlin called me aunt back then... Forget it, you and Vanessa's niece should call me aunt too!"
Robert looked at the two people getting together intimately, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Is this really good? The Black Robe Pickets and Captain Marvel, two important characters in the plot, are all under this small roof...
