Chapter 447 Everyone Is a Clown

Bruce Wayne looked at Arthur seriously, "The future can be changed."

"I know, I know." Arthur smiled: "I know what you are worried about and afraid of, but Bruce, have you ever thought of a possibility: I am a joker, but the joker does not necessarily have to be me."

Bruce Wayne narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and Sheriff Gordon frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

Arthur shrugged his shoulders: "It's very simple. The joker was born in Gotham and will only appear in Gotham. You don't want me to become a joker, but without me, there will be another joker in Gotham, understand?

Haha, there are so many clowns in the company, so many unemployed vagrants on the street, any of them may become a joker!"

Gotham is a hotbed of sin and chaos, this is the key to the problem, at least that's what Arthur thinks now.

In the video, after killing someone, Arthur returned home and knocked on the door of the single mother as soon as he got home, and then kissed her directly.

He had only dared to secretly follow her before, but after killing someone, he seemed to have the courage to pursue the love he wanted.

What was even more unexpected was that he went to Haha Company the next day as if nothing had happened. Arthur had been fired, so he came here to pack his luggage.

Colleagues in the company were discussing the subway shooting last night. The case had been reported in newspapers and on TV, and it had become a hot topic in Gotham.

In comparison, colleagues didn't care about Arthur's firing. Only one dwarf cared a little, which resulted in the sneer of other colleagues.

They ridiculed Arthur for bringing a gun to the performance because he planned to shoot himself when he couldn't make the audience laugh.

The gun was the key to Arthur's firing, and Landau, who gave the gun to Arthur, was also in the room, but he remained silent. Arthur didn't take the sneer of his colleagues seriously.

Instead, he took the initiative to talk to Landau, saying that he owed him a favor, after all, the gun was "sold" to him by the other party.

Landau was a little flustered when he heard it, and shouted at him not to talk nonsense.

Arthur didn't get too entangled with him. He packed up his things and left the makeup artist. He also smashed the clock for clocking in. Before leaving, he erased the forgotten word on the sign "Don't forget to smile" posted in the corridor - "Don't smile".

When he kicked the door and went out, he was greeted by the dazzling sunlight. The experience of killing made Arthur change a lot. He became more proactive, or aggressive, or he seemed to have become a different person.

Just like Arthur who was answering questions outside the video, he seemed shy and introverted when he was just selected as a player, but after seeing his future experience and being exposed to everyone, Arthur became much more confident.

Perhaps something in his body has awakened now after being strongly stimulated!

The subway shooting case caused widespread discussion in Gotham City. The vast majority of citizens did not seem to sympathize with the three young victims, but chose to support the murderer in clown makeup.

When Arthur returned home, the news on TV was also reporting this incident, and even invited Thomas Wayne to be interviewed.

Arthur sat on the sofa in front of the TV with his upper body naked, lit a cigarette, and watched Thomas Wayne on TV talking freely: "Yes, these three young people are employees of Wayne Investment Company. They are kind, honest, well-educated, and all very good people."

Seeing this, many viewers outside the video screen started to curse, kind, honest, and well-educated?

You really have the nerve to say that, if everyone hadn't grown eyes, it's possible that they would have been fooled by you, Thomas Wayne.

The audience was a little surprised. They really didn't expect that the three young office workers who took the initiative to provoke trouble in the subway and were finally beaten up by Arthur were actually employees of Wayne Company!

"Although I don't have any personal relationship with the three of them, they are my family, just like all the employees who have worked or are working at Wayne Company."

Arthur's mother Penny was very happy when she heard this: "You heard it, I said we are a family!"

Arthur asked his mother to be quiet, and the host on TV asked a question: "Now in this city, the hatred of the rich is high, and it seems that those less wealthy citizens choose to stand on the side of the murderer."

"Yes, this is very regrettable, and this is one of the reasons why I plan to run for mayor. Gotham City has lost its way." Thomas Wayne took the opportunity to promote his campaign.

The host asked him again: "What do you think about the witnesses saying that the suspect was wearing a clown mask?"

"I think it makes sense. What kind of coward can do such a cold-blooded act? Only people who hide behind masks! Such people are jealous of those who are more fortunate than themselves, but dare not reveal their true colors.

Before this kind of reform, we, the successful people who have made a fortune from scratch, will regard these people who have accomplished nothing as clowns!"

Thomas Wayne mercilessly criticized the murderer's cowardice and cold-blooded behavior in a TV talk show.

This made Arthur outside the TV screen tremble his legs, leaning on the sofa with his hands holding his head, and couldn't help sneering. Seeing this, his mother Penny frowned and reminded him: "This is not funny."

However, the audience outside the video screen also sneered: "Look, this is the face of the rich. They never take us poor people seriously. Hear it, we have all become clowns!"

"Hahaha, I think Thomas Wayne should not run for mayor. If he becomes a stand-up comedian, he will definitely be better than Murray. His jokes can make me laugh for a whole year!"

"I finally understand why so many Gotham citizens protested against Thomas Wayne in the previous video. A rich man like him who is so pretentious will never really care about us poor people!"

Thomas Wayne's unilateral attack disgusted the audience who saw the whole story.

It was obvious that the three Wayne Group office workers provoked first, but they were killed when they failed to bully others. In the end, he said that they were all kind, upright and well-educated family members.

He even had a condescending attitude, accusing the poor people of Gotham of losing their way. Doesn't he know that the root cause of the wealth gap is that large companies like Wayne Group have seized too much capital benefits and are not even willing to give a little to the poor people?

In the eternal space, Peter Parker looked at Bruce Wayne, then at Arthur, and scratched his head: "To be honest, I think what Mr. Wayne said... is a bit too much."
