But right now, Pennyworth was concerned only with his relationship with Esme, whom he loved with all his heart. The girl was worried about her origin. Everyone laughed at her when Esme talked about wanting to become an actress. This prompted her to abandon Alfred so as not to bring him unnecessary suffering.

But at that moment, unknown people attack her, and Alfie does not have time to help. Soon he receives a message in which Esme’s life is offered to be exchanged for Thomas Wayne. At first, Alfie agrees, but after the kidnapping, he decides that Tom is a good person and does not deserve such a fate.
