Chapter 10 Ambush

"John!" Elizabeth heard the gunshot and hurriedly ran down from the third floor. Wearing milky white pajamas, she seemed to merge with the moonlight from the window. When she saw the scene below, her delicate face became

Extremely pale.

After all, the person lying in a pool of blood was her husband - John Howlett.

Two consecutive gunshots completely shattered everyone's sleepiness. Even Tony, who had fallen asleep early, rushed down in panic wearing a pair of underpants, thinking that there had been some kind of terrorist attack here.

After hearing that it was just a gardener in the manor who went crazy, everyone felt a little weird. After all, this happened sooner or later, but it happened tonight when they were staying. This could not be called a coincidence.

However, Robert, the only person present who thought this was a coincidence, did not speak out.

In the original plot, when the gardener Logan learned that the young master of the Howlett family was his son, he wanted to take Elizabeth and her son away.

When he knew that he could not achieve this, Logan came to the door angrily with a gun, and then the scene of shooting John occurred.

Robert glanced at Elizabeth who was crying. No one would abandon such a stable life and choose to wander around the world with a gardener.

No one wants his biological son to suffer along with him.

If Elizabeth and Logan elope, it will also prove the fact that James is Logan’s biological son!

No matter what, it is impossible for this fertile and beautiful lady to accept it.

But Elizabeth wisely chose a trick.

She first agreed to Logan's request in words, but then turned around and quietly suggested to Mr. Howlett that Logan should be transferred to a farm far away from their mother and son.

This is why Logan ran from the farm to Howlett Manor in such a rage. He might never see their mother and son again in his life.

Anyway, to put it simply, the current scene can be simplified to - James' biological father killed James' adoptive father, and James' mother is crying.

One thing to say, Elizabeth's skin is so well maintained that she doesn't look like an older woman...

Maybe it’s because of the darkness...

After dawn, Robert became more certain of his point of view.

This James' mother is so white and tender, as if the whole thing is made of water.

In addition, her eyes, which were red and swollen from crying, were as delicate as a white lotus that I felt pity for, making those who saw her feel heavy.

"Madam, please forgive me." Tony stepped forward first and put his hand on his chest. If Robert and others had not already formed a stereotyped impression of him, the dignified expression on Tony's face would not look too serious.

"Thank you for your comfort, Mr. Tony." Elizabeth gave an ugly smile.

John's body has been put into a coffin and is expected to be buried tomorrow.

I heard that Mr. Howlett will also hire a priest to recite the Bible for John. At that time, relatives and friends of the Howlett family and tenants of the Howlett family will come to mourn Mr. Howlett's son.

And the gardener Logan who killed John, if it hadn't been for his other son Victor's plea, he would have been chopped up and fed to the dogs instead of being buried casually in an unknown hill.

The young master of the manor, the gardener of the manor...

The lives of two people, whether in life or after death, show a complete difference.

This difference is as intuitive as the contrast between the slums and the rich areas of Gotham City.

At this moment, the breeze carrying water vapor on the lush green grass could not dispel the haze in Robert's heart.

Such things have happened in this area of ​​Alberta. Wouldn't this kind of dangerous incident not happen when Robert went to settle in Zhonghai?

So why did he leave Gotham City? Why did he go to such trouble?

"What's wrong?" Vanessa asked, seeing Robert's gloomy expression.

Robert shook his head: "No, it's just that I felt a little uncomfortable when I saw the dead people."

Hearing this, Vanessa remained silent. She also saw the huge bloody hole on John's chest. Although the two only had a few words of friendship, she saw that John, who was chatting and laughing yesterday, was lying in the coffin today.

, I still can’t help but feel worried.

This emotion filled everyone's heart. Robert no longer thought about those questions, because he already knew the answer. Vanessa's words made him determined again. Even in Zhonghai, there are many terrorist incidents, but that is definitely

It is also hundreds of times better than the security environment in Gotham City.

There will be clowns, penguins and other inexplicable terrorists appearing in Gotham City in the future.

I couldn’t stay in that place no matter what, and my decision to leave Gotham City was undoubtedly the right one!

After breakfast, Robert and others said goodbye.

Mr. Howlett did not let out the hearty laughter he had made at the beginning of the meeting, and sent them away with a solemn look. In order to express his apology for frightening the guests, the old soldier lowered his high head: "I'm really sorry, Manor

This kind of thing happened here, at night, and disturbed the rest of several people. If you can, please accept the money..."

"No, Mr. Howlett, please forgive me." Robert pushed away Howlett's big hand that handed over the money note.

He has no ill feelings toward Mr. Howlett, but he is a relative of Wolverine, and they are destined not to have much interaction.

Finally, I took a look at the Howlett family standing at the door of the manor - Mr. Howlett, who was as tall as a giant bear, Lady Elizabeth, who had just lost her husband, and little James, who looked like he was suffering from depression.

Robert has no nostalgia at all. Goodbye, Wolverine family, never see you again.

Walking on the road we came from, the people were still the same and the scenery was still beautiful.

But what was different from when he came was that Victor, who was leading the way, was no longer interested in talking. Tony also knew that the other person had lost his father last night, so he rarely closed his mouth.

The atmosphere was dull along the way.

Just when everyone was about to pass by a small forest, Robert narrowed his eyes and suddenly shouted: "Everyone get down!"

Then he took the lead and threw Vanessa down.

Soon after, yellow-orange flashes of light flew overhead one after another, and the sound of gunshots was heard one after another, and the place where the sound came from was a small forest not far from everyone!

"Bah! Bah, bah, bah!" Tony choked a few mouthfuls of dust. If his bodyguard hadn't knocked him down, he would have been shot to pieces by the gunmen in the woods.

Natasha and Victor were not weak people. When they heard Robert's reminder, they both lay down even if they didn't understand.

On the other hand, two or three of Tony's bodyguards did not take Robert's words seriously, and now they have fallen into a pool of blood. One of them even had a brain blossom and was too dead to die.

"You, and you, quickly! Take me away quickly!" As soon as Tony saw these tragic situations, he quickly ordered the two remaining bodyguards to escort him away.

Robert glanced at Tony's leaving back and said to Natasha: "Take off all the salutes on that horse, take Vanessa away, and leave this place to me!"

Without saying anything, Natasha kicked the salutes away from the horses, pulled Vanessa and got on the horse.

As for Victor, this poor gardener, just like his father, no one cares about his life or death.

"Robert! You..."

"Leave him alone, if you are still within the shooting range of those guys, the scene of taking bullets for others will happen to Robert! You don't want Robert to die for you, right?" Natasha shook her off hard.

Swing the riding crop.

"Da da da..."

The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, and Robert got up from the ground.

He looked at the small woods in front of him and shook his neck. It seemed that he was going to do some exercise again this morning, but this time the exercise was different from the usual exercise, and he needed to see some blood.
