Chapter 12 - strange smell

Finally, he came out of the "gentle township." Thanks to him paying some "public food," otherwise Harley would really not have let him go back.

However, Jin does not plan to let Harley continue working as a psychiatrist, because her workplace is a haunted place like the Arkham Asylum. So he asked Harley to quit her job, and Harley was very willing to obey Jin's arrangement after getting the "public food," and Jin would support Harley from now on.

It's just that now Jin doesn't have a serious job, so he needs to get money through some special means, and he has a good way. But now it's imperative to contact Zatanna and go to her house for lunch.

After calling Zatanna, soon a vortex portal appeared in front of Jin. After Jin walked in, he saw Zatanna and Zatara sitting at the dining table waiting for him.

"Sorry, I'm late."

It was not his girlfriend Zatanna who answered Jin, but her father, Zatara. Zatara said with an amiable look: "It's not too late; it can be said that it's just right. Young man, sit casually."

At present, it seems that Zatara is not hostile to him, and it seems that he is still relatively open to his daughter's relationship. After Jin thanked him, he sat down next to Zatanna.

"'Spell'."

Zatara whispered the incantation, and soon the table that was empty just a moment ago was crossed by a shimmer, and a hearty lunch suddenly appeared. Jin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows; to be honest, it was really a very convenient thing to do things with magic.

The three began to eat a delicious lunch, during which Zatara asked all kinds of questions as if examining his future son-in-law. Zatara couldn't help but nod after hearing the answers; he was currently very satisfied with his daughter's boyfriend, both in terms of manners and personality.

And then came the question he was most curious about. After wiping his mouth with a tissue, he asked Jin: "Jin, did you come into contact with magic before you met Zatanna?"

"Actually, no, Uncle Zatara. To be honest, it was only after meeting Zatanna that I first saw what magic was like."

Zatara caressed his beard after hearing this. He naturally saw that Jin was not lying; since this is the case, then Jin's qualifications are too powerful. He is simply natural material for learning magic.

"Then Jin, uncle asks you, if I were to take you as an apprentice and teach you magic, would you accept it?"

Zatara felt like accepting an apprentice; after all, Jin's conduct was good and his qualifications were exceptional, even if his age made it a little late to start learning magic. But Jin's talent perfectly compensated for this.

Zatanna's eyes lit up with anticipation. If Jin became her father's apprentice, then their time together would increase greatly. But Jin didn't think so.

Although Jin really wanted to stay by Zatara's side to learn magic and be with his girlfriend, Zatara's training method was closed-off. You couldn't leave until you finished your training, and there were so many heroes and villains waiting for him to check-in on back in Gotham.

Jin had to refuse Zatara's kindness.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Zatara, I don't have any intention of learning magic right now, and if I do, I'll definitely visit in the future."

Zatara did not look surprised; on the contrary, Jin's refusal was within his expectations. He could see that Jin didn't show any obsession with magic.

After that, Jin and the father-daughter duo talked a lot. When it was almost time to leave, Jin said: "Uncle Zatara, can I shake your hand?"

"Of course."

After Jin shook hands with Zatara, he didn't hear the system notification for a successful check-in. Jin couldn't help but be a little disappointed; it seemed the way he tried to clock-in was wrong.

Zatara, as a senior, caught the subtle disappointment in Jin's eyes and asked curiously, "You seem to be disappointed?"

Jin did not panic and said with a light smile: "Actually, I feel some sadness that Uncle Zatara did not keep his son-in-law here."

After hearing this, Zatara was slightly stunned, then laughed: "Ahahaha, you kid is really interesting. Remember to come back next time."

Clearly, Zatara liked Jin's personality and was already very satisfied with him as a son-in-law. Jin then stood in front of the vortex portal and said goodbye to Zatanna.

Zatanna hugged Jin, burying her head in his chest, and said, "I will miss you."

"I'll miss you too, Zatanna."

Zatanna didn't want to keep the atmosphere so sad. After she let go of Jin, she raised her arm and showed him her smooth arm. "The next time we meet, I may surpass my father and become the greatest magician in the world."

Jin shook his head with a smile, looked at Zatanna with spoiled eyes, and gently scratched the bridge of her nose.

But suddenly, Zatanna's nose twitched. She furrowed her eyebrows and caught a fragrance that only women have—and this fragrance was definitely not hers.

"Who is that vixen?"
