Talia will cause problems

Thea hesitated for a moment, then told Felicity to "check the surveillance cameras in the school area and nearby roads."

It didn't take long to find the whereabouts of these people. "At 3:15 last night, three trucks left the campus, headed north on Sixth Street, and then we couldn't see them anymore." Although Felicity was still a bit apathetic, she quickly found some clues.

There were over a hundred people. Thea rubbed her head and wanted to just let them go or maybe invite them to dinner, but how was that possible?

With over a hundred people kidnapped from our side, will there be many people captured from other places too? It's inevitable to think with your heels. The other side has big ambitions, and even if you don't want to retaliate, you have no choice.

After thinking for a bit, "First, please ask Chief Gordon to dispatch the best police officers to the last discovered location to look for wheel marks, question witnesses, and gather all clues." Thea looked at the old chief first. The police were professional in this area, so it was better for her not to be an amateur and guide the specialists.

"Secondly, ask the Sky Eye Society researchers to test the substance on the gas masks. This substance should be designed specifically to absorb nerve gas in the air. Extract this substance and then make a special gas meter to go to the vicinity of the scene to see where the concentration is high, and search along the way to map the enemy's escape route." Although Leila didn't understand everything, she understood about 70% and nodded.

"Finally, it's your turn. We captured many criminals, and I must get some clues from them." Thea finally looked at the three generals of the family and friends of Batman. This was their traditional method, catching a criminal and beating them to death to find clues. To be honest, Thea found this method stupid, but to give them something to do, she still arranged it.

What she said was exactly what they wanted. They didn't want to do street visits or run around like fools with an instrument. Torture was in line with their style. They had whips and daggers ready. They were skilled in the work and had vast experience. Hanging the prisoners and beating them was the most suitable job for them.

"That's it, let's split up..." After organizing the work for several people, Thea was ready to part ways with them, bury her head in the quilt, and fall into a deep sleep. She didn't know if she could continue the sweet dream that was disturbed by Catwoman before.

"Bang," the command vehicle door was suddenly opened, and a tall, old black man with white hair rushed in.

Who is it? Thea's first reaction was that her true identity had been discovered. She wondered if she should kill the man quickly or knock him out and kidnap him. But she soon found out that no one in the car seemed surprised. It seemed that this man was not an enemy?

"Lucius, what happened?" Commissioner Gordon didn't understand why the old man came at that moment.

When Thea heard the name, she immediately thought of Voldemort's Death Eaters or something, but she soon realized that this black man wouldn't draw his wand to give her the green light because she had seen this man's photo before, not in the memory of that world, but in the photo she had seen while working at the Queen Group some time ago. His name seemed to be Lucius Fox, and he was the president or vice president of the Wayne Group.

Some people saw him running in and didn't know what had happened, so they came back when they were about to leave.

"James, something happened, you have to find a way..." The old black man was panting, and the kind Felicity quickly handed him a glass of water.

"Thank you." The old black man looked at the girl in front of him and found that he didn't know her. But the situation was urgent and there was no time to be polite. He grabbed the old director and wanted to run away.

Seeing that the two old men were almost 120 years old in total and were about to run away, Thea hurriedly stopped them and said, "Sorry, what happened? Can you tell me?" I had just assigned a task to the old director and you dragged him away. Doesn't that make me lose face?

Lucius found out that he didn't even know this girl and was a bit confused for a moment. Could it be that I entered the wrong door because of my advanced age and poor vision? I looked around the command vehicle and saw that I knew most of the people inside. This was strange...

Commissioner Gordon had always been a stable person. In fact, to be frank, he is a person without any quick intelligence. He can complete tasks well if done step by step, but becomes perplexed when there is an unexpected situation. At this moment, he didn't think he could provide much help for the old black man's emergency. On the contrary, he admired Thea's intelligence and cleverness.

"Lucius, what's happening? Don't worry, they're all young people you can trust."

"Well... although I don't think you can help, I received the news that Talia is going to hold a board meeting this morning to announce Bruce's disappearance and determine her son's inheritance rights to Bruce's shares. We really couldn't think of a solution, so..."

The people in the car fell silent when they heard the news.

Leila and Felicity kept their distance from the matter and also knew that the child was indeed Batman's son, so there was no problem with the inheritance.

Gordon, his daughter, and Robin also thought that this was someone else's family matter and that it would be inappropriate for them, as outsiders, to get involved, and they had no legitimate reason to stop it. Talia was very ruthless and didn't leave any way out for herself. She used the intelligence network of the League of Assassins to spread the news that the child was Batman's. That's why Superman, Martian Manhunter, and their gang of idlers hadn't found Bruce himself; otherwise, they would have flown over to give him a present. This matter became a big deal and couldn't be false.

Catwoman was not as helpless as the others. Her face looked very ugly, her knuckles crackled, and she wanted to hit someone, but she didn't know whom to hit.

"Lucius, we want to stop this, but there's really nothing we can do. You..." Commissioner Gordon didn't know what to say to his old friend. He managed to say a few words and couldn't continue.

"Ah, let me interrupt, you don't want Talia's son to inherit his father's shares? Who among you is that?"

Seeing that everyone looked as if their father had died, Thea wanted to ignore it, but was afraid it would affect her future actions, so she asked a question anyway.

Lucius also knew that Talia's move was extremely cruel and almost insoluble, so he went to Gordon with the idea of trying his luck.

But in response to Thea's question, he also replied, "Alfred and I, and... Selina will also oppose it."

Catwoman would definitely oppose it. She even wanted to grab a big knife and kill him. Her hatred was greater than the sky and deeper than the sea. Although she was with Batman not for money, due to her personality, she couldn't suppress her anger when thinking about a lot of money that originally belonged to her passing by her and falling into someone else's pocket.

Although Barbara didn't get along with her, she also made her position clear at that moment and opposed it! She took the lead in opposing it, and Robin also changed from neutral to opposed.

"I also oppose it, but our opposition is useless." Gordon also expressed his support for his old friend.

"Since all of you oppose it, what if Mr. Bruce returns and expresses his approval? Will he be angry that we made the decision without his permission?" Seeing how aggressive they were, Thea still asked, hoping that Bruce Wayne wouldn't take revenge on her later.

"Do you have a solution? Don't worry about Bruce's problem. He won't agree. Even if he does agree, we all oppose him, and there's nothing he can do." Lucius had been president for so many years, he was still good at observing people's words and expressions. Seeing that Thea was very calm, a flash of hope arose in his heart.

As for Master Bruce's revenge, he wasn't afraid at all. Everyone in this room was his friends or comrades in arms, and he couldn't go against the collective opinion of these people.

"Well, actually, I don't think this problem is really a big deal." Thea thought about it and really felt it wasn't a big deal. As for the look of despair on old Lucius's face, it can only be said that his thinking is limited.

"I don't know if you know, but I have shares in the Wayne Group..." Thea stretched out a finger and spoke slowly. In fact, she had only discovered this some time ago.

"My father bought 0.5% and 0.7% of Wayne Group shares for me and my brother, respectively, before he died. Of course, they weren't directly in our names. After my brother passed away, the shares automatically came to me, so I have 1.2% of the shares."

"You want to initiate a vote of no confidence among the shareholders to reject Talia's legal inheritance rights? But your shares are still too few." Lucius was too lazy to think about how this girl got shares in the Wayne Group. He worked like a slave for many years, and with the money Bruce had ransacked from the board of directors, he almost held 1% of the group's shares. It seemed like a small amount, but considering the size of the Wayne Group, it was a large sum of money.

"It's a big difference, but our Queen Group holds 3.5% of Wayne Group shares, and the Merlin Group also has a similar stake. I can help you get that. Mr. Lucius Fox, let me introduce myself. I'm Thea Queen."

The old black man felt that the world was changing too fast. He took off his reading glasses and looked at the girl in front of him. He had never seen her before. He hesitated and asked, "Is Moira Queen your mother?"

"She is my mother." Thea replied promptly.

"Oh, I knew your mother and Mr. Steele, I never thought..." Lucius and Moira were just acquaintances, but he had a good relationship with Steele, the black man who almost became Thea's stepfather. Maybe black people have more in common...

Thea didn't know what to say about his behavior of pretending to be an elder. He was really very old, and Steele would probably call him uncle or grandpa when he saw him. She was even younger than him, so she didn't plan to chat with him. Thea just nodded and smiled for him to continue.

"But it's still a bit short. Our board of directors' veto power must reach 15% of the shares." The old black man withdrew his thoughts and returned to the real problem.

"That's not difficult. Let me introduce Miss Leila here. She is an important government authority who can indirectly influence some companies. They should also have some shares in the Wayne Group." Thea pointed to Leila, who was watching the show on the side, but didn't introduce her identity as an agent. She vaguely used the term "government authority" to refer to her.

Leila served in the military and didn't understand the modern corporate system where you are part of me and I am part of you. She hadn't realized before what role she could play in this matter, but now that Thea said this, she immediately realized it, and what about affecting business? That was basically government business. Well, if she made a phone call, she wouldn't dare to guarantee that everyone would obey, but she thought she could take care of seven or eight companies. Moreover, if she couldn't do it alone, there was still Amanda!

This wasn't difficult to do and there were many favors available. It only took a few phone calls and there was no need to risk your life. This was very much in line with her current mission of providing timely assistance. He didn't ask for Amanda's permission and nodded in response to Lucius's pleading look, indicating that it was entirely possible.

Then, under the gaze of everyone in the room, Thea made two phone calls, one to her mother and the other to Malcolm. Although the two had some doubts, they didn't waste words and gave her the phone numbers of several Wayne shareholders, indicating that they were their own people and that she could contact them without hesitation.

Leila was faster and contacted three or four companies. The two women and Lucius hid and counted the shares in their hands. They easily exceeded 15%. You know, as the administrator of the Wayne family for many years, Alfred also had some shares, but the amount was very small.

Several people pieced together the task and completed it. "Mr. Lucius, you still need to propose the motion. Our people are only responsible for giving support. You have to understand that." Thea wrote down two phone numbers for the old black man and asked him to contact them himself.

If your family talks too much in the company of others, it can easily cause a chain reaction. This is a matter of the rules of the game. Destroying this foundation can easily make others associate, whether for your Quinn family to increase their voice or to make a malicious acquisition. This is something Thea never wants to see.

"I understand." The old black man understood this point. After all, he hadn't eaten rice for free all these years.

With a look that said "I'm here to take the blame and you will die," Thea sent Lucius away, who arrived hurriedly and left with slow steps.

Everyone in the room watched her solve the previously huge problem with ease, and it took less than ten minutes. Everyone looked at her as if she were a rich man.

"Why are you all looking at me? Isn't this something very normal? This is the situation in our country. Mr. Bruce also has shares in our Queen Group. Don't just stand there, start working!" Thea was scared by their looks and quickly reminded them that there were still citizens who had fallen into the hands of criminals and were waiting for us to rescue them.

The few then dispersed and went to take care of their own business.

Catwoman was so stimulated that she became more determined to work harder. After this incident, she would work overtime to accumulate wealth.

Robin hugged his girlfriend and walked to a deserted place, still muttering: "How much money do you think she has?" "She must be richer than you..." Barbara returned to the campus and got her equipment. She grabbed the whip and swung it a few times, ready to vent her frustration if the prisoner didn't speak.

Thea didn't know how many of her friends were harmed by her invisible display of wealth, so she ordered Felicity to control the drone to go out and look for clues, and she went to the trailer to rest quietly.

At lunchtime that day, several people gathered again, of course not for a meal, but to summarize information from various aspects.

Old Gordon, who had become the intelligence team leader at some point, summarized the information they received. "There are missing people in all districts. The exact number is difficult to count, but their base wasn't hidden."

Commissioner Gordon took out a map and pointed to a place on it. That was it.

Several Gotham residents in the house were gaping in astonishment. Thea, who didn't know the inside story, asked the foreign support team: "There is nothing white on your map without a name written on it. How do we know where this is?" Please explain.

"This is Arkham Asylum..."
