[Western Crossover] I'm the Butler in Gotham

[The full story is complete. Remember to turn on the chapter comments while reading!]

Q: What’s it like being a butler in a rich family?

A: Thanks for asking. I’m at Wayne Manor in Gotham, and I’ve already set the child welfare hotline as a speed dial :)

A quick introduction: I’m an outstanding employee of the CEO Romance Literature Division at the Quick Transmigration Bureau. I’ve worked as a special assistant, executive assistant, and butler for several CEOs surnamed Gu, Xie, Shen, and Duan.

I’m skilled at lines like “The young master hasn’t smiled like that in a long time” and “The madam has been gone for three days,” as well as identifying true and fake heiresses who grew up outside the family. I also have extensive experience with corporate, ground, and online PR battles.

With a Top-tier butler resume like mine, I should be able to handle any CEO family with ease.

But after starting the job, I discovered that the Wayne family’s CEO syndrome seems much worse than I expected.

My employer, Mr. Wayne, is a textbook playboy, a famous social butterfly who frequents parties around Gotham City. He comes and goes without a trace, often returning home drunk and covered in injuries, and who knows where he’s been fooling around this time.

…At any rate, I’ve hardly ever seen him go to work at a board meeting.

There’s no hope for their dad, but the Wayne boys aren’t much better.

The eldest needs no explanation. He’s a respectable guy, handsome, with a steady job. A public servant.

The second is a special case. Worried his enemies might come after him, he’s faked his death to the outside world with extraordinary commitment. These days, he’s running a small business on his own.

But from what I can tell, the kid might be the local crime boss.

The third is an exceptionally well-paid wage slave. His dumb siblings and their idiot dad haven’t ended up on the streets after bankruptcy, all thanks to him. A ruthless work machine who can put in a hundred hours of overtime and consume just one cup of coffee.

Praise him.

The fourth is a more serious case. He’s thirteen, but he carries a prohibited knife, skips school, and is an expert at getting into fights. A troubled teen through and through.

I think this may be the result of wealthy parents neglecting their child’s growth.

Oh, I forgot to mention: apart from the fourth, who’s their biological son, the other three boys are all adopted by Wayne. They’re all handsome little boys with black hair and blue eyes.

…

Handsome little boys.

For now, everyone should bookmark this and follow along. If anything happens, I’ll call the child welfare hotline right away.

Wayne, I am watching you. (pointing)

A few things to know before reading:

1. First-person narration, with the strange dynamics of the Bat family’s wealthy household as seen by an outsider. Expect plenty of misunderstandings and dark jokes.

2. No one gets hurt. Everyone gets bullied (OvO)

3. The characterization follows the lighthearted, everyday-adventure style of the Wayne family. Lots of out-of-character moments ahead.

Theme: Trust and love make a happy family
