Origin of all things Arkham

Chapter 49 The Last Guest

"New friends?"

Alfred remembered that Lynn once told him that one day he would introduce him to a friend who would definitely be compatible with him.

but……

"Lynn, are you sure you want to take me there today?"

In Wayne Manor, in the cloakroom belonging to Master Batterman, Alfred asked very puzzledly to Lynn and the little cat who were searching here and there, and all kinds of clothes were gesturing on him: "As you said, This is a housewarming banquet, then, as the invited guest, is it not suitable for you to bring a stranger like me, I think this is somewhat rude, but..."

"Alfred, you are a housekeeper, not a welcome. What are you doing standing at the door? Quickly find me a suit of less expensive clothes, and find a suit for yourself by the way. We'll be leaving later."

"Meow~ Ben Meow also wants a set of clothes."

After a moment of silence, Lynn saw that Alfred still didn't move, with a pensive look on his face, he pinched his chin and thought for a while: "Alfred, you are not worried about your young master, are you?"

Looking at Alfred's expression, Lynn's face was blank: "Really, Al, are you worried that he can't take care of himself? Or are you worried that he will be bullied?! Could it be that you are worried that he will spend money indiscriminately?"

"Ugh……"

Alfred also realized that he was somewhat overthinking. He had been the housekeeper of the Wayne family for decades, raising Bruce Wayne who lost his father and mother when he was young, and some things had become his habits.

For example, worry.

As soon as his pensive expression changed, Alfred tilted his head and spread his hands: "I'm just worried that if I'm not here to watch, he will go out and pack the models from somewhere."

"Hey hey hey hey~ Wouldn't that be better, maybe the next generation of the Wayne Group will be born like this~"

"Oh, I hope so."

Alfred stepped forward, walked up to Lynn, looked at the clothes in his hand, and looked around, then turned to Lynn and said, "If what you need is less expensive clothes, then We should get out of here and go shopping now."

"...the hateful big dog..."

Lynn picked up the kitten and, together with Alfred, was going to buy some outfits that fit Lynn's status as a farmer.

For a farmer worth less than ten million, a suit, plus shoes and cufflinks and other things cost close to a million. This is obviously a collapse of human design.

The two of them and the cat had just walked out of the cloakroom and came to the living room. Bruce Wayne was already sitting there, looking like he had been waiting there.

He was sitting on the sofa, holding a newspaper, reading it seriously.

"Lyn, Alfred, are you going out now?"

"Your clothes are too expensive, let's go shopping."

"Oh, I know."

Bruce Wayne still wanted to say something, but Lynn and the others walked out, looking a little anxious.

"Hey, Lynn."

"Ah? Anything else?"

"……No."

"gone."

"Hey Lynn..."

"Ok?"

"……fine."

"What's wrong? Let's go."

Boom.After the sound of closing the door fell, the room fell silent.

Wayne put down the newspaper in his hand, pouted slightly towards the door, raised the newspaper in his hand, and put it down again.

"It's not evening yet, what should I do to pass the time...

This fellow Lynn, would it kill you to take me with you? "

No one answered his question.

In desperation, Master Betterman could only sigh, and walked to the basement.

Write two more pages of notes.Build the anti-Lynn armor early.

......................................................

With the ability of the Wayne family, there is no need to think about traffic jams, queuing, buying tickets and boat rides when going to the metropolis next door. They can arrange it directly by helicopter. When they arrive, there is already a car arranged there.

It fits Lynn's personality very well, not an exaggerated and expensive car.

Naturally, Alfred was still in charge of the driving job. It wasn't that Lynn didn't want to drive, it was Alfred who didn't let him.

Along the way, Lynn had already told Alfred about his character design and his disguised identity. The old butler was worthy of being a human being, and he accepted this setting very flatly, without any expression changes throughout the process.

But think about it, isn't Bruce Wayne maintaining the second persona all the year round, what's new?

"...So my identity is your friend, it's that simple?"

"It's that simple, you make up the rest yourself."

"Ok."

……

Alfred's driving skills are good, and the little cat even regained a sense of stability in a balloon.

Under Lynn's navigation, they soon saw the old house of Jonathan Kent's family.

And Jonathan and his wife stood at the door.

"Hahaha, Lynn, your injury is completely healed."

As soon as Lynn got out of the car, old Kent came happily and hugged Lynn gently.

"Hi, I'm Lynn's friend, Alfred, I take the liberty to visit."

Alfred is very energetic, although his hair is gray, but standing there is still straight, giving people a very upright and reliable feeling.

"Hello, I'm Jonathan, Jonathan Kent. The Kent family farm welcomes old friends as well as new ones."

The two smiled and shook hands, chatted for a while, and Alfred turned to get the red wine as a gift.Lynn walked to Old Kent, smiled and said, "Jonathan, I believe that you and Al will become good friends."

"Really? Can I ask why."

"Hahaha, you will know soon. Jonathan, you won't blame me for bringing new friends without notifying you in advance."

"of course not."

Old Kent shook his head and smiled slyly: "Because, I also have a new friend to introduce to you."

"Oh, is it so……"

Lynn's voice was very long, and he turned his head to look at Alfred who was coming, and then turned his head and asked, "Can I ask who this person is~"

Kent also laughed and said: "You will know later, hahaha!"

........................

Kent's, at the dinner table.

Cups and shadows staggered, laughing and laughing.

Lynn sat on the left hand side, sipping the red wine Alfred bought, watching him and Old Kent having a lively chat.

Lin En knew that there was a high probability that the two would become good friends, but Lin En didn't know that these two really hit it off like that!

The two didn't know each other more than an hour ago, but now they are like old friends for many years, that's called being close.

At the beginning, Alfred was very polite, although he listened to and spoke, but there was always a bit of natural politeness and restraint.

Later, Mrs. Kent asked Lynn if she had considered starting a family, and Lynn replied that she was afraid that she would not be able to raise a child, so she didn't dare.

This immediately opened up the conversation between the two of them.

One said that raising a problem child by himself is easy to cause trouble.The other said that his child almost went astray...

When one person said it, the other listened very seriously, and then nodded frantically!

The more they talked, the more they hit it off, and the more they drank, the happier they were. Lin En became an outsider.

Seeing that drinking the red wine as fruit juice was not good, Lynn decisively snatched the last bottle of wine that was about to be opened again.

"Pause pause, Jonathan, I didn't mean to spoil your fun, you said it yourself, and there is another guest, you can't wait for that guest to come and let him look at the empty bottle."

Although Jonathan was not very drunk, his face was a little red, and he took out his phone with a smile to make a call. At this time, there was the sound of braking and parking outside the door.

"Lynn, it must be the last guest I spoke of.

Ha, Clark, you're a little late. "

Old Kent pointed to the tall young man with black-rimmed glasses who pushed in through the door, and said, "This is my son, Clark Kent.

Clark, these two, are good friends of mine.Alfred, Lynn. "
