Behind the shopkeeper’s gold-wire glasses, two hot rays flashed.

Because he saw Shen Long’s supercar parked outside the door, and the authentic Chanel bag that Barbara was carrying on her shoulder.

Her charming look with short skirts, boots and a trench coat is almost like a supermodel who has just walked the red carpet on Victoria’s Secret.

“Boss, can I see that umbrella?” Shen Long was straight to the point.

“Of course.” The boss carefully took the umbrella from the wall, handed it to Shen Long, and introduced it without feeling: “Sir, you really have an eye, this umbrella is not an ordinary umbrella, it is made of pure wood structure, the whole process is handmade, just forging this gold ornament on the handle of the umbrella, it took me half a year’s work, its elegance and sharpness, coinciding with your temperament, is a top handicraft that a real gentleman deserves…”

“Don’t say it, I bought it.” Shen Long interrupted his gushing praise.

“Okay, sir, I’ll wrap it up for you.” The shopkeeper’s heart smiled, a bold guest like Shen Long, he hadn’t been able to meet once in a long time.

“You spent a total of $150,000 this time, card or cash?”

“Swipe your card.” Shen Long took out his black gold card issued by the Gotham City Head Office, and scratched away $150,000 without pain or itch, just to buy an inexplicable long-handled umbrella.

This caused Barbara to look at him like a silly boy, she would not have thought that Shen Long was planning a cultivation plan called “humanoid cash machine” behind his back, so $150,000 was nothing, that is, collecting a few more pieces of scrap steel.

But it wasn’t until he came to Oswald’s home in the lower town that he finally realized what $150,000 meant to an ordinary family in Gotham City.

Perhaps because he stayed in the Queen Hotel for a long time, he always felt that there was a very pungent smell of chicken poop in this dilapidated rental house.

In the face of Shen Long’s visit from a stranger, Mrs. Ron’s attitude was not very friendly, she at first mistakenly thought that Shen Long came to check the meter, after all, in order to save some living expenses, she did not encourage the filial Oswald to do something on the meter.

However, this situation ceased to exist after Shen Long expressed his intention and sent him a gift that he had carefully prepared.

The old woman who gave birth to Oswald was as happy as an old witch in a fairy tale, and after enthusiastically arranging for Shen Long to sit down, she used her collection of inferior coffee beans to brew a full jar of coffee for this “expensive” guest.

During the conversation with Mrs. Ron, Shen Long learned that Oswald’s foot was born with a disability, and it was for this reason that poor Oswald was regarded as a family disgrace, and in his childhood, he suffered ridicule and bullying from classmates.

In particular, several bullies who crisscrossed the campus gave him an insulting nickname – Penguin Man for his limp walking posture.

And when he went to the bathroom, he swaggered to keep up with him from behind, shouting at him in front of the other classmates, “Penguins are laying eggs.”

To free himself from this pain, Oswald changed his confidant to birds and tried to become good friends with them. In years of experiments, he actually learned to communicate with birds, which added a lot of fun to his dark life.

However, his father, who was humiliated by his birth, died of pneumonia after a rain on the street.

The bad news caused his mother to grieve, and she would often ask Oswald to carry an umbrella with her in case it rained, as happened to his father.

So no matter what the weather, Oswald has developed the habit of keeping the umbrella in his hand, which has almost become a part of his body.

After listening to the unfortunate fate of the Penguins, Shen Long can better understand the supervillain’s desire for power and his determination to try to replace Fishmooney.

It wasn’t until it was almost lunch that Oswald returned home from outside.

“Hey man, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” Shen Long got up from the sofa and looked at Oswald with an umbrella in hand, although the weather outside was exceptionally sunny, and there was not even the slightest sign of rain.

“Dragon, how come you have time to come to me?” Oswald has always had a good impression of Shen Long, at least in the entire Fish Gang, he is the only one who calls him by his first name when talking to him, not the “penguin” that annoys him.

After the two hugged each other, Shen Long smiled and asked, “Brother, is your nose okay?” ”

“It’s already much better.” In the face of Shen Long’s greeting, Oswald was very happy: “You don’t know how lucky I was that day, the surgeon in charge of suturing me told me that the piranha was only a little bit close to biting off the bridge of my nose.” ”

You call this lucky? Shen Long didn’t know how he pondered, maybe he was the kind of person who would be glad that he was favored by Lady Luck if he broke his leg by a car, after all, it was only a leg that was crushed, not a brain.
