Chương 1218: Chapter 821: Batman Behind Enemy Lines (Part 3)_2

Moreover, the person wearing the red hood is different from Jason, then who is this red hood? The Joker?

With this in mind, Shiller decided to go to the hospital first. After he arrived at the Central Hospital, Shiller found the ward where Jason Todd was residing.

When Shiller entered the ward, Jason was still sound asleep. He was lying on his side with a bandage wrapped around his waist. His hand, outside the blanket, was clutching a red hood tightly.

Shiller walked over and bent down to examine the wound around his waist. Judging by the shape of the bandage, the wound didn't seem deep and hadn't damaged any internal organs. It was just an external injury, but he could still faintly smell the blood.

Shiller then checked the IV bag hanging on the rack. It contained antipyretics and painkillers, it indicated that Jason might have had a fever last night. Just as Shiller was fiddling with the IV bag, Jason woke up.

Seeing a figure appearing before him, he was initially alarmed and drew back. But then he recognized Shiller and let out a sigh of relief, squinting his eyes, appearing somewhat drowsy.

Shiller pulled up a chair, sat down at the head of the bed, and asked Jason, "What happened last night? Why did you get hurt? And how did you end up in the hospital?"

Jason shook his head and said, "It's nothing, just a minor incident. I'm sorry, Professor, I really couldn't call in sick because I was caught in the rain yesterday and I think I had a bit of fever. I fell asleep right away..."

Shiller shook his head, touched his forehead, and asked, "You're not feverish anymore, are you? Is your throat sore?"

Jason swallowed and said, "My throat is still a bit sore, but I no longer have a fever. I should be able to get up and attend class by this afternoon."

Shiller looked at the bandage around his waist and asked, "How did you get hurt?"

"It's really just a minor issue, something to do with our Children's Gang." Jason didn't want to talk about it, but seeing Shiller's gaze fixed on him, he spoke up: "We were instructed by the higher-ups to look for someone. I found some clues, devised a plan to sneak in, but because I was unfamiliar and got noticed, I was slashed with a knife..."

"But in reality, it's not a big deal," Jason quickly emphasized. "During the escape, I was slashed by a small knife..."

"Why did the mob higher-ups ask you to find someone? And who were you supposed to find?" Shiller asked.

"Uh, it was actually quite a simple task. You see, a foreigner named Vandal Savage has offended the Godfather's son, which made him very angry. So, the higher-ups assigned us the task. If he were located by a bunch of kids, it would undoubtedly be very humiliating for him…"

"So, was it Savage who hurt you?" Shiller massaged his wrist as he asked.

"No, it wasn't Savage, but a security guard from Zakovos Hotel. I never met Savage in person. I merely caught a distant glimpse of him and then managed to grab his room number…"

"You mentioned he offended young Falcone." Shiller asked again, "How did he upset Evans?"

"I heard he sneaked into Falcone Family's territory late at night. That land is very important to the Falcone Family as they want to turn it into a secondary storage center..."

"At that time, Falcone was already resting. He had been busy with his intern work and seemed very tired. Being awakened in the middle of the night, naturally, he was quite annoyed."

Seeing Shiller's face becoming more and more serious, Jason swallowed, and said, "Professor, please don't be upset... Really, I'm fine. It's normal to get injured when one is the leader of the Children's Gang here in Gotham..."

Shiller revealed a forced smile and said, "I had thought that maintaining a tranquil atmosphere within Gotham University would provide you guys with a conducive learning environment. But now it seems that I haven't thought this through thoroughly."

"As a teacher, the most I can do is to ensure my students have a pure environment to study hard and manifest their talents. I thought that Gotham University was enough."

"But it seems that home-school partnerships are not unreasonable. If the home and social environment are not suitable, even the most diligent and talented students like you and Evans would still be troubled by various bizarre problems, either being disturbed in your sleep or landing up in the hospital..."

Despite Shiller's gentle tone, Jason broke out in cold sweat. He stuttered, "Professor, in my opinion, Gotham University already provides enough… I will stay on campus for the next few days and study hard..."

But Shiller pulled out a syringe, grasped Jason's arm, and gave him an injection. Just as Jason was about to ask what it was, he felt an itch on his wound. At that moment, Shiller bent down to unwrap the bandage around his waist. Jason rushed to say, "Professor, wait! The doctor said not to remove the bandage now!"

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw that the wound under the bandage had healed. The wound wasn't big to begin with, and with a full dose of Lizard potion, it's like using a cannon to kill a mosquito. Therefore, it healed instantly.

Jason's eyes widened in shock as he looked at his waist. Yet, Shiller merely pulled up his clothes, handed him the coat hanging at the head of the bed, and said, "Put it on and come with me."

"Wait, Professor!" Jason hurriedly put on his coat and asked, "What are we going to do?"

"Correcting our learning atmosphere."

Half an hour later, in the Mayor's office, Mayor Roy, who was reviewing financial reports, looked up at his secretary who had rushed in and asked, "What's the matter? Why the urgency?"

"There's a Professor Rodriguez who wants to come in, but he didn't make an appointment, so..."

"Let him in." Roy immediately put aside the documents in his hand and stood up.

Roy and Shiller who had just walked in shook hands. Shiller got straight to the point and said, "I think the recent learning atmosphere in Gotham is not strong enough. I plan to carry out a learning rectification activity. What do you think?"

"Hmm, learning atmosphere?" Roy paused as if he hadn't quite understood and asked, "What is a 'learning atmosphere'?"

Shiller pushed Jason, who was standing next to him, forward and said, "This is my student. He's currently studying basic grammar. Due to some issues, he got injured, which is going to disrupt his study progress. I believe this is an extremely unfortunate incident."

"Of course, he's a homeless child. It's normal for him to encounter some difficulties. But another one of my students, Evans Falcone, due to some disturbances, was unable to get proper rest, consequently reducing the quality of his study."

Leaning his umbrella on the ground, Shiller looked into Roy's eyes and said, "Mr. Mayor, therefore, I would like to rectify Gotham's learning atmosphere. What are your thoughts?"
