Chapter 156: The Boulder’s Fall (part 2)
5/5 weekly chapter, enjoy.
Cassie stared warily at Mathison’s face.
“And you look so weird; you look like a monkey!”
“Woof woof! (Soone is coming this way)”
At this ti, Charlie suddenly ran over and bit Mathison’s trousers.
In front of outsiders, he is not allowed to speak human language.
However, with the Translation Konjac, Mathison can understand his dog.
Charlie’s ssage caught his eye.
“Woof woof woof! (There is only one other person, and they don’t sll like an adult)”
Hearing this, Mathison felt a bit relieved.
“Is this your pet, Uncle Monkey?”
Cassie asked with a twinkle as she peered down at Charlie.
“I kind of believe you’re not a bad person now because only good people have cute dogs.”
“Yes, it’s called Charlie.”
Mathison squatted down and pet Charlie’s little head while introducing him.
“Also, it’s very rude to call soone ‘Uncle Monkey.’”
“But I don’t know your na.”
Cassie tilted her head, puzzled.
“My na? You can call … Lupin the Third.”

On the other side, after Barbara got separated from Pala, she headed straight to the GCPD.
There were so gangsters and thugs along the way, all of which were dealt with by her.
The location of the GCPD is not far from Robinson Park. Barbara arrived there in less than an hour.
When Barbara set foot on this familiar land again, her heart suddenly froze.
“Oh no!”
There wasn’t a single living person in GCPD. The entire police station has been burned for many days. The original snow-white wall is now as black as charcoal.
Barbara walked into the GCPD’s armory and found it was empty too.
Needless to say, Bane must have claid all the weapons.
“Why do you think the chief wants us to patrol this shitty place every day?”
Suddenly, a voice ca from the outside, accompanied by footsteps.
Barbara quickly hid behind the door of the armory, listening carefully to confirm that there were only two people outside.
“Who knows what the leader thinks, but the GCPD police are not dead yet, especially their chief Jim Gordon, whose whereabouts are now unknown, and there is no trace of him in the police hospital. Instead, two of our n have died.”
“Maybe the chief is worried that Jim Gordon might join up with the rest of the cops after he escaped.”
Another one of Bane’s n answered the man’s question just now.
“Recently, the situation in the city has gotten complicated. Many of our n have died inexplicably. It is possible that the remnants of Gordon’s group did it… or perhaps other gangsters. Maybe one day the two of us will die inexplicably.”
The man who asked the question exclaid.
«They just said that Jim Gordon wasn’t in the hospital… It doesn’t look like Dad had an irreparable accident.»
The information revealed by the conversation between these two n made Barbara inwardly rejoice.
«If Dad wasn’t in the hospital, where would he be?»
«And where would the surviving police officers hide…»
Barbara was lost in thought.
“Have you checked everything over there?”
“It’s the sa as before, how about you?”
“There’s nothing new here, it’s ti to check out the armory.”
Barbara’s eyes narrowed slightly when the two people’s shouts ca from outside.
“Bang!”
The large iron door of the armory was opened by two inspectors, and there was nothing inside.
“The inspection is finally over, finally we can go back.”
The two n walked in and turned around before walking out the door and leaving the GCPD.
Only after they were gone did Barbara co down from the ceiling.
She had just used the Batclaw to secure herself to the ceiling of the armory, avoiding the inspection.
«Although I didn’t find out where Dad is, at least now I know that he’s still alive.»
«A big boulder that was on my heart, fell. However, another one still exists.»
«I should go back to Robinson Park first and wait for Pala’s news.»
Barbara quietly withdrew from the GCPD and headed to the Robinson Park base.
What she didn’t notice was that in a deep alley near GCPD, a looming figure was silently watching her…
————-
“Lupin… the Third?”
Cassie frowned, why is this na so strange?
“Woof Woof! (That person is almost here)”
Charlie reminded Mathison again.
“Shh, soone’s coming here.”
Mathison imdiately motioned to Cassie to keep quiet, then turned around and waited for the person Charlie was talking about.
Not long after, there was a faint sound of footsteps coming from the darkness.
The voice got louder and louder, indicating that the person was getting closer.
“Hey, Cassie, look what I found, you can’t believe it, I’ve got three cheese hams…”
It was a boy’s voice that sounded like it should be about the sa age as Cassie’s.
The corners of Mathison’s mouth twitched slightly. He could tell who the owner of the voice was.
It was none other than Jas Gordon Jr. whom he was looking for on this trip.
He watched as a well-built boy run out of the darkness with a happy smile on his face.
His hands were clutching a large sack filled with all kinds of food.
In addition to the big bag, Jas Jr. also held a sandwich wrapped in a plastic bag in his hand.
However, when he saw the man in the red suit with a monkey face standing beside Cassie, the words of joy ca to an abrupt end.
They were replaced by words of vigilance and… anger!
“Who are you and what do you want to do to Cassie?”
Jas Jr. put the big bag in his hand on the ground, and then assud an attack stance.
He and his sister have studied Kali martial arts for a while. Although he is not as talented as Barbara, Jas has a good fighting ability.
At the age of 14 or 15, and before his body had fully grown, he was already able to defeat ordinary adults.
“It’s okay, Jas Jr. His na is Lupin, he’s not a bad guy.”
Cassie ran over and stood in front of Jas Jr..
She took off the earphones on her head that she didn’t let Mathison touch, and then stuffed them into Jas’ hands.
“I love your earphones! Thank you for lending them.”
Cassie picked up the big bag on the ground again and counted its contents.
“You brought back a lot of food this ti, butter bread, toast bread, compressed biscuits, chocolate bars… enough for everyone to eat for two days.”
“Is your na Lupin?”
Little Jas squinted at Mathison, “Why did you co here?”
“Cassie said you’re not a bad person, and I won’t question her judgnt.”
“But that doesn’t an we’ll accept you. You neither look like a cop nor a soldier. You have nothing on you. I’m curious how you survived in Gotham.”
“If you’re just asking for so food, please forgive . There are more than a dozen students in the lower levels of the school who are hungry. This food is for them.”
Jas Jr. said without hesitation.
