A bastard child, huh, are you blind?
"He is not my bastard child."
Austin's face gradually darkened, he actually thought that this would make Wayne the perfect heir, and Veronica wouldn't have to jump into the fire pit anymore.
"Alright, if you insist, then he is not."
Barney laughed with a meaningful look, "After all, whether he is or isn't isn't up to you to say, the Royal Family has to nod in agreement..."
In Barney's view, Wayne and Austin were cut from the same cloth, with righteous appearances and self-righteous attitudes, looking honorable on the surface but full of wicked schemes underneath.
Yes, the more he looked, the more alike they seemed!
To say that these two had no blood relation, he wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death.
"Austin, reconsider our previous partnership; it's beneficial for both of us."
"No need, I have better channels for cooperation," Austin flatly refused, taking Wayne and Megan with him as they left.
